“That’s all to say that we shouldn’t be making it easier or more comfortable to kill someone. The more we make war like Call of Duty, the more removed humans will be from the act of killing. The monitors and controllers that fill these vehicles serve as much as a barrier between the user and the people outside as the…

This ends one of two ways:

Better than Tolkien? That’s a pretty ridiculous bar... Not saying that Tolkien is the be-all-end-all of the fantasy genre, but you don’t just pump out an epic like that at will either.

Fighting games are eSports... eSports is just a catch-all term for video game competition.

The military has no business being on Twitch or in eSports in the first place... I know that there’s some precedent in eSports with South Korea’s ACE team, which was their Airforce’s eSports team, but military service in South Korea is mandatory anyway so it doesn’t really serve a recruitment function. While ACE…

Fuck Twitter.

If someone else’s behavior is causing you to modify yours, they have power over you. It’s as simple as that. If they held no power, you wouldn’t feel the need to go out of your way to change your own life in response to their stupidity any more than you change your life in response to an insignificant insect. Sure,…

The difference between a swastika and the “ok” gesture is that one is a rather esoteric symbol which the average person wouldn’t understand the “original” (read: Pre-Nazi) meaning of without being told while the other is an incredibly commonly used gesture that is pretty much universally understood in the…

So you’re basically giving a bunch of racist pricks the power to determine the symbols or gestures that are acceptable and unacceptable in society? I don’t see how that could possibly go wrong... Maybe they should also co-opt the thumbs up, the fist in the air, the peace sign, and every other innocuous gesture we use…

Considering the fact that I don’t play competitive Scrabble, I couldn’t care less.

While the bugs are inexcusable since that’s the part they’re supposedly “developing”, I can actually see how the music thing can happen if they were buying it from a third party source. It’s not exactly easy to determine whether any given piece is “heavily inspired” by another piece or even blatantly ripped off so at…

“one of the best commentators to have ever worked in professional sports.”

This is all just insane. I would have NEVER suspected anything like this. I’m glad that the victims are finding the courage to step forward and I hope that appropriate consequences will come to all of the abusers who have taken advantage of the FGC over the years. The community deserves better than this.

My 2-year-old LOVES to catch his Pokemon. I have to admit that I was skeptical because if you just listen to the idea, it sounds like the dumbest thing ever. Then you try it and it actually seems to work. It’s kind of ridiculous how much of a difference this simple app makes in getting a kid to want to brush their…

I can’t even imagine how quickly I’d be mugged if I went around like that in my neighborhood... LOL

Looks horrible.

This is starting to get a bit ridiculous. Now we’re concerned about stereotypes as they are applied to fantasy races in a fantasy universe? You’re literally talking about a world where people throw fireballs and highly skilled fighters apparently have a 5% chance of slipping on a banana peel and stabbing themselves in…

As an Asian person who loves pizza, I’d like to say that this looks disgusting...

It’s all a house of cards so get your money and get out.

The only one of those I’ve ever heard of or seen is 7-Eleven.
