Untitled Goose Game [is] like ... the Hitman series of stealth sandbox games. - Nathan Grayson, Kotaku

The same developer, Infinite Interactive, is behind both PQ and Gems of War. I’m hopelessly addicted to Gems.

Rhetoric may be important to some people. Someone who is ideologically driven will probably want someone who doesn’t just enact their preferred policies but promotes their ideology too. Warren doesn’t seem to be an ideologue. Her pro-capitalist statements may be sincerely felt or they could be a more cynical…

Yet what is the practical difference between Warren and Sanders when it comes to the distribution of wealth? Or how the economy operates? A problem is that capitalism and socialism are really broad terms and if you’re not precise about what you mean by one or the other then it basically becomes meaningless sloganeering…

You lasted longer than I have. I quit using using the term sometime during peak (nadir?) GamerGate.

It came from the central Atlantic, not the former Soviet bloc so I don’t think he’d be interested.

for video games, it’s a totally different story, as it’s a totally different, animated, self-controlled experience. Above comment only applies to films and TV.

So let me get this straight, they’re saying that whites are supreme but are fundamentally under threat by poor unarmed harmless brown people? Western culture is objectively the best but it can’t withstand the arrival of poor unarmed harmless brown people? They’re scared because long after they’re dead the percentage…

This is what I meant by “adjust the filter”. These controls filter the request listings to specific types:

The NYT will load the entire article and then via JS shenanigans, hide it from you. It is probably doing this to help their Google page rank but still prevent repeat freeloaders from reading the article.

Using Chrome’s Developer tools, you can still see the state of the webpage before their JS jumps in and hides it. To…

That dem establishment has backed Gore, Kerry & H. Clinton. This time they seem to be backing Biden. The line that people are parroting, that he is the best hope to beat Trump seems the inverse of the truth. In addition to losing to H. Clinton and Obama in ‘08, he has also lost to f’ing Mondale and Dukakis! He hasn’t…

Twitter thread offering a (slightly) deeper erm, rooting, into the history of American wild hogs:

I was thinking I was missing something. So many comments here characterize the devs original post as some anti-gamer screed. So, I went and re-read their original blog post. And HOLY SHIT, it’s the most inoffensive thing in the world. If that post, which, at its most vile might rise to “gentle ribbing” level, makes…

Yeah, he was the tool who framed the mass effect 3 controversy as gamer entitlement.

Anyone can host a website on just about any web connected device. Having a website be usable to a large number of people takes much more infrastructure. Given the resources needed to host a popular site, you’re dealing with a finite number of companies on the back-end. It is a game of whack-a-mole but a site…

Dumber or just louder? I’d guess the percentage of dumb people is about the same, but that would still mean there’s more of them. They also have the ability to broadcast their stupidity on a much larger scale.

This is much dumber. At least with the console wars people would conceivably have invested at least a couple hundred bucks into one side or other. If your chosen console fizzled out, your “investment” would lose potential utility. All that said, the console wars were still very stupid.

It sounds like you and I could reach agreement on what a congressional fix should more or less look like. The problem is you (I assume) and I are not congressmen. Obviously, congress has had decades to fix the current framework and has instead done nothing. So, we’re left with picking from the Clinton/GWB/Obama…

And for some reason, they were also just detention centers under GWB. I wonder if something has changed? I wonder if this administration’s policy to hold people until the resolution of their court case has caused this entire catastrophe? No. It is must be the fake news who is out to get Dear Leader.

Someone come get their grandpa. He got lost from Facebook again.
