I’ve already responded to this kind of concern elsewhere (http://kotaku.com/internal-blizzard-memo-details-efforts-to-hire-retain-1797734970), but there is nothing in this initiative involving what you’re describing. In fact, it’s all about what you want: encouraging women to go into the game industry and not…

Your statement regarding the “wave of applicants” misses the point of this announcement and initiative, really. You’re referring to the conventional system and existing pool that is already in place. Instead of settling for that, Blizzard is making the pool bigger. If anything, that gives them more opportunities to…

Naturally, posts like yours demonstrate how “best,” and opinions in general, can be subjective. I say this not to criticize your post, but rather to express appreciation for it and how it has inspired me to discuss our different views.

There will never be a better dedication than this:

I am so glad that someone mentioned Garnet. I was worried that no one would! Yeah, she’s an alien, but Estelle is able to fully express herself through the character, and plenty of black girls and women alike have gladly identified with and cosplayed as her. She’s great!

And while we’re on the subject of great things:

That is where I am from, and there was a taco place I did love. It was quite a drive from home, but I do wonder if it still exists... To the Internet!

It does!

Well then, it sounds like we are both going to get both boxes. Let us reconcile our differences and be miserable, together.

Do you still wear the shirt? I do. Sometimes.

Bruxie is tasty! I love their Green Eggs and Ham sandwich. The “green” comes from the addition of pesto. If you are ever in LA again, the most famous chicken and waffles spot is Roscoe’s.

Though I do generally love living in California anyway, thinking that I won’t have such easy access to good tacos does give me pause when I consider relocating to other states for work. I’m not even kidding.

There was more savagery to be had in the comments, too.

I live in the south end of California, the United States’s taco haven (shut up New Mexico and Texas), where genuine and partially Americanized taco joints alike often have Taco Tuesdays. These are normally spots where you can grab a street taco for $1.50 to $2 but, on said Tuesdays, they may be had for $0.99 a piece.…

As a backer, I actually disagree. I find the Famicom art to be horribly disappointing. I was expecting the Japanese box to be awesome and to—like many Japanese games actually did—have edge-to-edge art. Instead, there’s Beck standing in a lame pose in front of color-saturated wedges of characters that were copy-pasted…

I thought that I would be able to jump on this nonsense early on, but I have been soundly defeated by numerous other posters. Nonetheless, I’ll echo their sentiments by saying: no, their meat isn’t a non-meat mass that is 36% beef. What a gross misunderstanding of the information within the very article that you…

They’re referencing a mistaken interpretation of Keiji Inafune’s comments on the game post-release, which was then wildly popularized by the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter running with it in a hilariously savage post.

Considering the varnish, resin, air-drying cycle, and the fact that she lived to be 101, I think she had that under control.

As another promoter of socialism, I find this to be a rather short-sighted response. You understand already the significance of one’s personal experiences. When the finest substantiated arguments and the thickest consensuses fail, actual exposure to the related consequences can completely transform people’s…

As an independently successful individual who rose out of poverty and who has known the entire spectrum of unfortunate people, I promise you that this is not unlikely at all. A childhood friend of mine was infantilized similarly, but unlike the Governor here, they never grew out of their childhood. Accordingly, we…

I simply wanted to say that I love how succinct this comment is. I can’t stop laughing at it. Thank you for brightening my day.

Mmm, I suppose she has a point of sorts, but I disagree with where both of you are coming from. (That and, as can be seen elsewhere, she is a bona fide crazy nowadays, so your overall views may not align closely in the end.) Everything she has named is distinctly feminine, and to a woman like me, largely boring—but to…

Eh, it happens rarely enough. Chances that you will either not be home or could bail (because, being Bruce Wayne, I am sure he would have some secret exits for, uh, some reason) when shit went down.
