Honestly, if it were up to me, I would just ban all punctuation in texting. Capitalization, too. They all come across as varying degrees of confrontational to me, but that’s probably because I grew up in the AOL/MSN Messenger era where people would just spam stream-of-consciousness word vomit at each other with…

Is your consistent usage of the plural (“ellipses”) as a singular meant to be some sort of snarky irony?

See you’d hope that no one actually did this but I know multiple people (boomers, generally) who do in fact use ellipses when nothing is wrong.

Kotaku: Uploads Mario-related fanmade news.

Well that’s because I can’t really explain it, it’s just the way that “felt right” about it over the decades. About 90-95% of people I communicate with for work or otherwise are not using periods unless they separate sentences, so it feels odd when someone does. The article actually does a good way of explaining why…

Wae fer ofst tin in undae Britan. Weyn faer in Ye sin he paes frofre gebad.

Nah, it’s evolving. Just like it always has.

She was also bullied because she’s half Indonesian. It’s fucked up. Why isn’t that being said more?

Really genuinely sorry to hear about this. Still not clicking on a Deadspin link. 

TIE Fighter is superior to X-Wing, in no small part to the engine advancements that were ported backwards into later releases for X-Wing, the improved missions, the additional ships, and everything else, and is possibly the best Star Wars game ever made (it’s certainly the best Star Wars spaceship combat game).

I’d say Jedi Knight:Dark Forces II is better. People overlook it for Jedi Knight: Outcast, probably because the latter was available on consoles, so more people played it. Still, the original had Half-Life-esque levels, in the sense of lived-in places that felt like they served a purpose, and a year before Half-Life…

Elon Musk is just giving away the game now. All of these billionaire thought leaders, planners, schemers, and “entrepreneurs” are literally in the business of making money by telling other billionaires what they want to hear. Even when there’s no actual market for what they sell, there’s a market for them selling the…

One more Fox News talking point, and you would have had bingo!

You’re not an intelligent person and nobody values anything you have to say.

You’re a naive centrist, of course you’d be surprised that anyone can make connections beyond the surface.

Then you aren’t paying attention.

You don’t think Mayor Pete is a boot-licking corporatist?

Mayor Pete- simultaneously boring, inexperienced, incompetent, and a secret Republican CIA plant undermining truth, justice, and the American way single-handedly. Apparently.

I feel like the level of piss was perfect! Pete is a cynical corporate politician trying to extend his 15 minutes. He needs our discouragement

Nah, the sequel Jedi Knight was better in almost every way.
