Given the fact that we are less than four months out from the games launch (a game that promised virtually unlimited worlds of content, by the way) and the number of people still playing has fallen off a cliff (down to a few hundred on PC before the update released), I am not really buying your claim that there is a…

That’s what happens when you introduce a a “foundation” update four months after selling a game at triple A price. If I sold you a house for a million dollars then came came back a year later to start installing the water system and roof, I doubt you would be gratef

Seriously! You know what else Hello Games told us? That it would be a game in space and that you could fly around to different planets and explore and get your own ships. But I guess if they delivered Pong instead there would still be a bunch of people on here writing “I can’t believe you thought this game would take…

Man, I have never encountered a group of people who suffer from video game Stockholm Syndrome more than NMS apologists.

Those tax rates are from World War 2 (when the entire world was on the brink of collapse). Virtually no economists, even very liberal ones, advocate taxing businesses at 90 percent in a peacetime economy.

Low skill refers to the skills required to do the job. If you have Ph.D in astrophysics that is wonderful, but there is no reason that someone should pay you more to pour coffee because of that fact. Needless to say there are no advanced degrees in being a barista because it is by definition a low-skill job that…

You win. You and Freddie DeBoer.

No but but....billionaires are rich and Starbucks doesn’t pay their baristas a fair wage of $100,000 a year, so it’s bad....or something.

What the hell does this even mean? I am fully supportive of things like raising the minimum wage and good benefits but you seriously think that the barista who works at Starbucks for 3 months part time should get “an equal cut” to the CEO or long tenured middle and upper management?

If Durant is a “dick” for the way he left then there is just no way for players to say “Hey I spent the first chunk of my career here gave you some wonderful memories and even signed an extension to give you some more time, but now I’m moving on.” Maybe he should have cooler about it like good guy Kevin Garnett and…

Yeah seriously. And if anyone knows about true loyalty to their fanbase and not ripping their hearts out by leaving, it’s the Oklahoma Supersonics. I mean the Seattle Thunder. One of those.

Except that’s not an accurate description of the show. The dividing line is not between black and white, gay or straight but between human and android. Other than that context, the violence perpetrated against characters is not at all weighted by race or sex. Teddy, a white-male android, has already been killed at…

I think the point that Nolan is making is not that art isn’t a reflection or has nothing to teach us about real life, nor that it is immune from the biases that do influence the real world. It’s that for 99.9 percent of the people who bitch about this stuff, their “activism” begins and ends with a 2,000 word diatribe…

I imagine Incognito blames Martin for nearly ruining his career. Obviously his own actions were major contributors to that situation, but when an experience with someone goes really bad not everyone wants to kiss and make up.

While acknowledging that Incognito has done some shitty things in his life, dude is an NFL lineman. Pretending he speaks or acts in a way that is going to come off well outside of the locker room culture is a bit naive.

The dirty play stuff I can attest to, I saw him get 3 personal during a crucial part of a St. Louis…

You win the argument. I am not that old, but old enough to remember when replay was first being introduced in the NFL and people complained that it would slow the game down. While I thought was a ridiculous charge when you could only challenge certain plays, we are absolutely fast arriving at the tipping point when…

Yes but he loses out on making any money this year and he probably would not be picked top 3 next year, so the “fairer” contract from another team will almost certainly be for less overall. Not to mention it would mean another year until he hits free agency, which is where he will make the bulk of his career earnings.…
