Precisely why when people refer to me as a “gamer” I reply that I am not. I just play video games for fun. “Gamers” are people whose identity revolves around their hobby, and who substitute playing video games for having an actual personality. I love playing (some) video games, but if they were taken away from me I…

It’s just that he would work with Joss Whedon again, which is bad, but not as bad as Fillion’s performance in literally anything he’s ever done.

Although to be fair, only the people person playing Spock and Bones were was any good in those.

Any job that requires their employees to meet quotas without controlling for the supply needed to fill that quota is insane and abusive. The QA testers and their managers don’t control the software that is sent to them to test. If you require them to report 10 bugs per day, of fucking course they’re going to start…

At some point, the fact that police are literally just a state-sponsored street gang is going to finally filter into popular consciousness, right? Like, sooner or later the general public will figure out that the cops are not and have never been “good guys”? Right?

“Kelly’s attorneys argued that the R&B singer should have been sentenced to no more than ten years and that anything more than 25 years is unnecessary and would be the same as giving him a life sentence.”

“So, I guess you just ignore the more challenging aspects of RPGs? You certainly could, in most cases, which probably factors into your interest in them, eh?”

It’s not wrong to hypothesize that transgender women athletes who went through male puberty have a physical advantage over cisgender women athletes. It’s dead wrong to say outright that they do, because the evidence isn’t there for it. It’s even more wrong to say that “science” backs that up, because there hasn’t been…

What are you talking about? I seriously would like to know what you are trying to say here.

And it’s a criticism the director risks when they have as obnoxious and cringe-inducing a style as Baz Luhrmann, the world’s worst living director (in a world where Guy Ritchie is alive, that’s quite an accomplishment).

I mean, Baz Luhrmann directing the film literally is the reason that all Baz Lurhmann films are bad, so...

The 80s arcade coinsinks may be part of why I feel the way I do also! I hated those things with a passion. I’d put my quarter in, get 1-2 minutes of play out of it, and then it was shaking me down for more because I had failed already. I always felt insulted by those damn things. It didn’t help that my dad would…

And if you have the power to fire the person you’re doing it to...

Seriously, I thought my opinion of Mush couldn’t get any lower - then I find out that the whole time he was being a “free speech” warrior (just straight up code for transphobe these days), he’s had a trans daughter?

I get what you’re saying, I just don’t get why you feel that, if you get what I mean. Especially this part:

I don’t have to appreciate it, just accept it. Which I do? I don’t play the games that require that much commitment, and I don’t typically even talk about them unless the subject of “git gud” comes up.

“I think men have it in their DNA not to mind mess.”

This is how I feel about virtually all games that rely on reflexes and/or combos of any kind. I just cannot imagine, for the life of me, why anyone would want to git gud at such things. I accept that many, many people get enjoyment from it, and that it does hold some kind of appeal. I just don’t get it.

Dude, take a breath, step back, and look at how ridiculous you are being. Watch the show, and pay attention to the actual things that are said and depicted on the actual screen.

“And who is the living embodiment of wisdom on this show? Bran.”
