The fact that he is worth $7 billion is exactly why I personally give his explanation some side-eye. He has painted a picture where the decision is about improving the market for everyone and no about making money, but you don’t become a billion dollar businessman by being altruistic, you do it by gaming the system to…

If a dude was repeatedly taken advantage of by woman for years on a potentially daily basis, yeah I would understand if in frustration, in the moment, he said “women are trash”. And your second example isn’t equivalent at all, but if some non-black kid grew up in a black neighborhood and was bullied and harassed for…

Elon Musk is the dumbest smart person I know of.

I mean there are plenty of people making internet content who make it and aren’t terrible. Comic creators, youtubers, podcasters, etc. I don’t have experience with streamers but it seems like compared to say youtube, where you have super popular cool people mixed with super popular dicks, the super popular steamers…

Are you cherry picking quotes or are most popular streamers just the worst? Almost all these quotes rub me the wrong way, and some read as completely insufferable.

The good faith point of early access is to allows folks to access a playable game without polish, for less money than it’s final release price in exhange for helping to fund the game’s development and giving the developers feedback.

Preach it luke. I wonder what makes this happen or not, becuase I feel the same about ME Shepard, but not about the DA Iquisitor.

You’re a monster.

Seems like you are arbitrarily limiting yourself.

As much as this game seems incredible, I don’t think I’ll be able to play it. My mental health is heavily affected by media and if this game is half the bummer story it seems like it will be, playing it would set me back weeks.

Not too suprised to hear that considering what a huge fucking bummer Automata is. I will say his demeanor during the interview very much reminds me of the adage that pessimists are disillusioned romantics.

The risk paired with each and every attack is interesting, but I do feel like it’s dumb how easy it is to get stunlocked. Especially with how goddamn often I get stuck fighting three dragons at once and one little nick from their generous attack aoe sends me into a five second knocked-down animation (with possible…

The only reason we have gender segregated leagues for sports is to encourage a less represented gender to compete, or to ensure women have a fair chance in sports where men have a physical advantage. Why the hell even bother enforcing a gender segregation rule for a men’s golf league? It is literally pointless.

I feel like if you are a western viewer and you don’t have a love-hate relationship with anime, then there is something wrong with you.

You must be new to sports. Allow me to introduce you to excessive celebration. It has nothing to do with “liberalism” and everything to do with people’s obsession with what constitutes honorable conduct in a sport.

Must. Not. Be. Asshole. Auuuuuugh!!!

...okay. The moment has passed. Enjoy your cupsonas folks. It’s not for me, but knock yourselves out.

Well I’m sorry it came across that way. In my day to day life it’s been a relatively common part of vernacular and I have never noticed or taken any issue with it. It being taken poorly wasn’t even in the realm of foreseeable outcomes when I wrote it.

I don’t really think I was being rude. I’m not sure what inflection you read it with, but I assure you I only meant it in a tone of curiosity. Like saying “how do you mean,” or “speak on that,” or “go on”.

Explain.

Ahhhhhh. The old, “I’m sorry but it isn’t actually my fault.” Always a classy move.
