They weren’t being defensive - they were simply replying to all the points that often get brought up

They went to ‘You can’t complain about this because it’s not as bad as climate change.’ The Hitler thing was a joke, but pretty much the same level of ridiculousness. If you’re going to resort to that then almost anything is excusable.

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

Long term trend is all pain - just a brief respite.

I know its fiddling while Rome burns, but I’m quite sure the reaction of rank and file to having less Management riding your ass with fake targets is ‘woohoo!’

When I take a step back and consider what I’m doing, I feel like a shameless sociopath, utterly devoid of firmly-held viewpoints or morals. I am, in practical terms, just making my character say whatever she needs to for everybody to like her.

Is it really Daggerfall if it’s not a buggy crashy mess?

He’s the new Skrillex, so it’s understandable.

In 2013, right before it hit the mainstream, one Urban Dictionary user’s early classification of egirls went, “Often seeking the attention of professional gamers. . . Live sightings of eGirls can be found at gaming LANs.”

I’ve got three strategies for the bit where I can’t get past this f@#$ing part of the game:

Hey now, it’s not just Tesla owners, Mercedes owners would do this too.  If they could figure it out, since they can’t figure out turn signals.

Sounds like Stephen R. Donaldson’s Gap books - a space opera where every single person is loathsome and unsympathetic (you may also remember him from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, where only the protagonist is loathsome and unsympathetic, at least at first).

It’s even better because your villagers are actually helpful so it feels more like a real collaboration. With something like SDV or Harvest Moon, pretty much everyone is no use for your tedious chores. But my DQB2 villagers, they’re producing! Mostly poop, but they also plant, water, harvest, cook, even build. If a…

I live in a place where you can get Mike Hess in cans at the convenience store (or super), so that’s my go to. But Negra Modelo and Sierra Nevada are great options. A Pacifico works if you just want a mild lager. Absolutely no Corona because it will be completely skunked from sitting under the flourescents if you buy…

Simplest way to think about it: ALL the energy that would have gone into sending the arrow the distance of a football field - and still have enough energy left over to kill an elk - goes into the bow instead.

‘A CHEVY?!?’ *storms out of the theater*

I love this article. I know some people are going to go ‘ITZ ODLY A GABE’, but I’ve always wondered just how accurate the archery is in these games, especially after the archery explosion a couple years ago (with Lara in the vanguard) where suddenly every character had a bow. Apparently it’s pretty crap.

I can’t blame him for leaving (28 years at one job? Holy hell), and he’s certainly earned whatever he wants to do.

Well there goes your kneecap.
