I laughed at this, thought about it for a second, then realized that all of those hate followers just helped this guy land a job

The terminology point is fair, but I think you are dramatically underselling how unusual this situation is. This game was released a week before Black Friday, the initial adoption period and Black Friday were clearly supposed to line up. Sale/Mark down/price reduction/whatever you want to call it, that’s not something…

$25 off after only 10-12 days is unheard of for a major franchise game like that though. This isn’t a situation where someone released a game in September/October, sold it at full price for weeks to all the customers who were excited for it, then dropped the price to make some sales to people on the fence or who are…

It went on sale 10 days after release, that means the inventory wasn’t moving. Stuff that sells well isn’t put on sale, people will buy it anyway at full price. RDR 2 came out a month ago but is still very popular. Spider-Man for example was full price during the weekend two full months after release, and was being…

Are you pronouncing the second “E” in “severely” long or short..?

It was marked down nearly 50% inside of two weeks after release, no one is going anywhere near a bank on this one

I will wait for the Emily Prentiss DLC. She was the best part of the show, her line deliveries were straight out of Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime. I would also appreciate if we could get some info on the “Derek Morgan tackling someone from out of frame” mechanics in this game

Some people respond to abuse by internalizing it, the situation then becomes about personal behavior and choices. It’s a coping mechanism when people feel they don’t have control on their situation. Completely valid on a personal level, but it needs to be named, understood and countered like any other bias when it…

Relying on an outdated definition of “normal” would be though, which is a systemic problem with media not limited to the AP. Confirmation bias is a killer

New Year’s Eve sucks. It’s exactly like St. Patrick’s Day. Sure the drinking starts much later but NYE goes to midnight and then everyone is going home at once, plus it’s January cold instead of March cold. It definitely belongs after the bus

(that’s 80 dates, averaging $1 million a night) and her role as a judge on American Idol(reportedly $20 million)

Same here. At least the annoyance of wasting food is a lesser evil than E. coli? At least, I’m enjoying not having diarrhea until I am dead. Of course, I’m saying that before I spend any time with my family 

I think you’re right, but this specific case comes down to NBC honcho Andy Lack. His most recent hits are killing the Weinstein expose at NBC before it was taken elsewhere, keeping Matt Lauer protected, and bringing on a low-rated racist while very publicly paying her more than his other, more popular employees.…

They’re RPGs, and a lot of the “fun” we experienced as kids was working out what the mechanics were and successfully using them. That really isn’t possible now, any mysteries can be Googled immediately and what’s the point of making someone Google when you could just tell them what to do and build the fun around…

I’ve been playing this with my fiance, and it’s actually kind of weird how they’ve simplified basically everything while removing the “super effective/not very effective” tags on the moves like they’ve had in recent editions. Still, Kanto is just as fun to explore with her as it was to explore when I was 11 (it’s made…

I loved it, and it was really finding it’s footing towards the end (some of the more talk-showy stuff was always clunky). Personally I think the bigger issue was that Netflix’s user interface is completely designed around binge-ing stuff and a weekly deep dive into the current news cycle runs completely counter to that

He’s a germaphobe, there is no way he’d have dinner with a bunch of soldiers in a mess hall even at a base on American soil. The weirdest part to me is that they’d intentionally choose to risk pissing off the troops instead of just saying that he’s just generally neurotic about food

Hmm, it’s been a while but if I’m remembering my own confirmation correctly it all depends on what gets yelled out when you put on the Sorting Hat

There is a not small chance it was a first or second cousin of mine bringing those dishes in. I would like to sincerely apologize on their behalf 

The only people who can succeed in a system based around his abuse are the people who are capable of accepting his abuse and internalizing his logic and the rest are rejected or give him what he wants so he leaves them alone. That kind of a bullshit attitude will only take you as far as the White House though
