Even that won’t happen because India/China/Pakistan are too close for 100% effect ABM shields. None of those 3 countries will give up the security blanket nukes provide: especially not Pakistan since they fear that’s their only defence against the conventionally overwhelming military of India.

I also wanted to point out, Nicky Case also made one of the toughest games I ever played through on an emotional level.

Oh man Ooty and Kodaikanal are the two most naturally beautiful places in South India IMO. 

I apologize for my assumptions.

Honestly, I assume this is first time you’re hearing of this problem, but just in my experience, Americans have been rejecting teams from Sudan, Syria and Somalia long before the current disaster of an administration. I tried enrolling a mixed gender Syrian team in 2009 for a space camp and we had the VISA rejected…

Well my vote is for Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller, II (or Mayor Max II) the ruff but fair Mayor of Idyllwild, somewhere in North America. Not for this upstart.

Ancient texts, even when serious, are so relatable that it becomes incredibly funny. I mean, the famous Graffiti from Pompeii are just wonderful!

Pluto and Claymore are the only two Japanese manga I’ve read and they rivalled the very best of Western graphic novels for me. Though the actual TV series of Claymore was very disappointing. I hope Pluto does better!

Most of these are gorgeous pieces with so much details to them, but I feel the Inside art is the most captivating. Gods that was a lovely game.

In case people want to hear about possible box office totals:

What was terrorist’s political leanings? Was it proven that he had online ties to ISIS or was he radicalised on his own?

I meant it more in the sense that all Indian joint families I know are matriarchal in form and function. But I see what you mean.

As an Indian who has recently (but barely) moved into what I’d call a middle-class standard of life, the stigma of “love marriages” can be surprisingly matriarchal in nature. Almost every family I know has a kindly old grandmother/aunt telling the anecdotal story of ‘that woman’ who eloped and is now regretting it or…

I know this isn’t Jezebel’s beat so much, but The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald wrote a fantastic tribute to the life and times of Chelsea Manning, a relevant part of which I’m copying here:

Hey Jason, is there any remaining interest in the Prince of Persia IP, do you know? If not a new game, maybe a remaster of the Sands of Time trilogy?

That is an exhausting conversation to be having, honestly. I’m Indian (Bengali) and I’m in the US for my PhD and naturally gravitated to the Desi community for familiarity sake. That led to a culture shock far more intense than broader American culture: it sometimes felt like they’re from 70s or 80s India, supporting…

Oh god. I’m the one who usually buys personal care stuff for my nieces and I can imagine the hilarious and tragic misunderstandings that are going to come about because of my bottle shape choices. Bet they’re already gloating.

Also, a short but succinct article by Sarah Jones on the Democratic Party reaction to coal country voting patterns:

This article should be on the front page of The New York Times.
