Tinfoil hat time: legit leak, or softening the blow to avoid a Metroid Prime: Federation Force style backlash?

Be Best

Giving the greatest benefit of the doubt that I can, it’s kind of like finance bros quoting “Greed is Good” and not realizing that Gordon Gecko was the villain and the entire movie was an indictment of the lifestyle they chose

They also clearly haven’t read the books. Geralt is constantly discriminated against, the humans are are all nationalists who hate each other, but hate the dwarves and elves more, and the dwarves and elves are divided between the Scoia’tael guerrillas and the ones who think that their race war will only hasten their…

I agree, it’s just flopping around in a tar pit at a certain point. But if the directive is to engage, you have to work with who’s engaging, and on the internet that’s always going to involve some anti-social people

The true irony in all of this is that the Witcher books are arguably about how generational prejudices, nationalism and racism drag everyone down and cause the world to be as deeply shitty as it is

I’m interested. I picked up a few of the books when I was playing Wild Hunt. The novels are a bit light on the monster hunting, but the short story collections would be an excellent jumping off point for a series

Damn. But the companies are making revenue, or is that all from micro transactions and such?

I don’t know, recently the Hill has updated their editorial standards in an attempt to zero out any remaining credibility. Yesterday they deleted a bunch of articles when it turned out their opinion contributor was a full-blown Nazi sympathizer

“Anonymous sources close to Roland Tembo say paying to listen to Roland Tembo is the key to living a life free of parking tickets, untied shoelaces, and youth culture becoming different than it was when you were younger”

Rosenbloom is gonna be pissed

The Good Place is the funniest thing on TV. Dennis’ take was wrong and bad, but that take allowed for so many good and right takes to be made and unleashed on the internet.
