So your complaint is that the author used a common turn of phrase - “Had (x) happened today, (y)” - and you literalized that into a scenario where they lost the script to American Pie in the mid-90s and it was rediscovered today and, like, they hired Jaume Collet-Sera to make it? Except that still wouldn’t be a…

I guess... okay, that doesn’t really clear anything up about your complaint to me. Sorry!

Your reply confuses me, and seems to be reading a lot into something that isn’t really there. Natasha Lyonne and Shannon Elizabeth had shitty roles in a movie they didn’t relate to because it wasn’t interested in them at all; therefore, they are like zealous fundamentalists?

Same. Tuned in for the first week or two, saw what felt like the same match over and over.

The Outer Wilds is the game that has most impressed me so far. I don’t typically like exploration/puzzle games much, but this game has me completely enamored in a way few games ever have.

I don’t typically like this style of game, but if it sticks the landing - I’m about 15 hours in - it is absolutely going to be my game of the year. It’s genuinely incredible.

I’d vote for Joe Biden, if he were the nominee.

On the one hand, that’s true, and if she were making a movie about rape in the typical context, that would be a reasonable critique. But she’s making a movie about British imperialism in Tasmania, and that’s a radically different context, and in that context, that more violent take seems relevant and justified.

UM

Chapo is the worst, but these kids seem like genuine, sharp leftists. Don’t lump them in with those idiots; there just... isn’t much entertaining leftist political content out there, sadly.

Biden would lose, and likely lose bad. In the off chance he won, we’d get 4 years of nothing followed by an even more extreme Trump.

He doesn’t have any policies.

IT IS NOT MEANT TO CREATE BETTER SERVICE, YOU FUCKING JERK.

This looks really cool. Actually, looking back, all his games look really cool. Wish they’d come out on Switch so I could play them, but I totally get why they don’t. Oh well. Still cool as hell.

I believe, though I don’t know for sure, that the singular ‘they’ is Kotaku house style when the gender of the person in question is unknown.

Heather is not using language incorrectly. The singular ‘they’ predates the purely plural ‘they’ by centuries and is perfectly grammatically correct, particularly if the author does not know the gender of the person in question.

I’m deeply confused as to how you think the field is supposed to be narrowed down from 10 people to 1 if no one can say anything about any candidate.

I have long been waiting for the slow lore rollout that only queer people get superpowers in the Overwatch world. No reason, that’s just the way it is.

I think this may be where the fact that you haven’t played Fallout 76 much, as you said above, comes into play, because that’s not actually the premise of the game. NO players are playing wasteland dwelling lunatics; literally every player is playing as one of Earth’s best and brightest, who spent decades with one…

Ah, I see what you mean. You’re asking why it is okay to kill an unsuspecting player, but not okay to hurl slurs at that player while killing them? Is that correct?
