A boundary is saying ‘I’m not cool with this so I’m going to walk away.’ Coercion is saying ‘I’m not cool with this so you need to change it or I’ll walk away.’ Glad we could clear that up!

Two things:

Or I’m tired of people complaining about something that isn’t true.

 But I was told if you ‘went woke’ you’d ‘go broke’... you mean that wasn’t true?

They...they didn’t give him any powers. The light beams come from the Ten Rings that his father wields and he later takes, but they don’t come from him.

Honestly my impression was that of a less-cute JFK, Jr.

I don’t think so either. He has nice hair but his face is entirely too young. He doesn't look 30. He might look more attractive to me when he gets older. 🤷

Yeah, I am perplexed. I have yet to see a photo of that man that would make me think he was handsome or “hot”, even with the benefit of the right lighting or angles.

That’s what I was thinking. I would consider him handsome in a general way, but certainly not “very, very good looking”, as Kady breathlessly puts it.

Meh. I go to these conventions for the marketplace and artist’s alley and also trying to get exclusive items.  Waiting in line to get into these presentations were never something I wanted to do.  

Gee, you might have to talk about comic books. Nah, it’ll never catch on.

The only game I’ve pirated in the last 10 years is Metroid Dread. Then I bought it even though I don’t own a Switch. Their are conscientious users out there. 

Yeah, as an indie creator who has had his stuff pirated in numbers far exceeding sales, I’m not really grateful for the “exposure.” Anybody offering “exposure” is full of shit in any context. A man’s gotta eat.

It’s the lowest effort version of the good old “Consider it a tax on ‘Intellectual Property’”. I ‘member signing out games from my local library. Age of Empires slapped so hard!

I just wish that demos and shareware or even renting a game were still a ‘thing’. That’s my big problem, especially on the PC. Lots of people had ALL KINDS of problems with Cyberpunk2077. However, lots of people on PC, kinda didn’t. Myself included. But knowing that lots of people had issues, there’s no way to find…

I’m pro-emulation and always frustrated when resources are taken offline for older consoles and games. For brazenly discussing emulation of a major Nintendo game weeks before it released? I’m amazed they lasted past the leak’s first day. Nobody can be surprised about this.

Weren’t most of the best episodes of Black Mirror ultimately about the potential corruptibility of humankind? I’m not complaining. That just doesn’t seem like a new take. That’s seemed like a theme of just about every episode with perhaps the exception of San Junipero and Hang the DJ which are still more about people…

Blame the consumer for not supporting overprice capitalism. good on gen z for not blowing their money on overpriced poison.

How about concerts are too expensive and people who go to them don’t want to spend money on overpriced refreshments?

I’m kinda proud of Gen Z for this one. I don’t want live performance venues to suffer, but I also want people to make healthy choices.
