Except, this isn’t some mechanical issue hidden by engine components, or things that happen as a result of use - these are a delivery checklist of things you need to look at immediately upon delivery of the car. (Think walking around a rental car marking all the scrapes and dings when you pickup it up at the airport.)…

And yet the ‘18 Model S that my friend bought was significantly worse than the already terrible ‘12 he had. The 3 and Y his husband had were terrible too. They very happily own a pair of Ford Mach-Es now.

For fuck's sake, no American progressive is supporting Hamas.

“Because Jews, they rally around everybody.”

That combo of the way she says “BLACKS” and her fighting not to call us ignorant was really something.

Darkeater Midir is IMO the most difficult fight in the souls games, but it’s well-designed if you fight him as intended (from the front, with a big melee weapon). The only thing “bullshit” about him is his monstrous amounts of HP - so that after like 10 minutes of chipping him down he then busts out the lasers that…

What, no Bed of Chaos?

Who do these guys think they are, Nintendo?

“I have an idea: Instead of tightening up our security, let’s threaten our biggest fans with lawsuits.”

I mean, did you even read the article? The whole thing is far from “pretty harmless,” and in fact that attitude is harmful on its own.

If Goblins dont like being discriminated against, im sure there are suggestion boxes or proper forms to fill out to politely request equality from the wizards. Equality must be *asked* for, Politely and civilly, and be delivered on a timetable that is comfortable for the oppressor.

the fact that the story was designed in that way literally makes it worse though. depicting those who use violence against their oppression as ‘oh no actually they are extremists who want to oppress the rest of the people’ is like a very common way to essentially say ‘using violence to gain equality is a no-no’ in…

Sounds like typical mealy mouthed liberalism tut tutting marginalized groups for not being courteous enough to deserve rights. 

So it’s like a game where you play as Jefferson Davis fighting John Brown for the good of African Americans got it

Say what you will about the Shadow of Mordor games - and there are a lot of problems with them - but the first time you’re sneaking around somewhere and suddenly the camera smash-cuts to a scarred up orc covered with spikes calling you out like Hulk Hogan while his goons pour past him, it’s a hell of a moment. It…

as preached by Jowling? Sure. According to her (and her books), there are not bad systems or institutions, just bad individuals. So just put a good individual in charge of the institution and bam! Everything is good forever. That’s why Harry Potter ends up a (good?) cop.

I hope Harry Potter spent the rest of his days pondering just how much Snape wanted to fuck his mom to do what he did in the books.

Hey now, people CAN be flawed, and really just plain awful people, so long as they’re carrying an unrequited crush on the dead mother of the boy they’re being awful to.

well, considering that the HP books are the kind of trashy liberal fantasy where maintaining the status quo is the absolute goal (up to making the main protagonist a literal cop), this is just brand consistency.

I never got the sense that this game was intended to be anything more than “virtual theme park for HP fans.” Yeah, quests and mechanics and stuff, but most of the praise I’ve seen is basically “It’s fun being able to fuck around in a 3D Hogwarts.” The Nemesis system would’ve added a layer of strategy onto the game,…
