“irresponsible” because the state’s abortion ban exempts pregnant people from any fines or criminal charges. “Never have we written legislation in Nebraska that holds a woman accountable for an abortion,” Danek said.

I’m not even clear on why they would put that statement out. They are just confirming that they are culpable.

Yeah this gringo lives in flyoveristan and thinks Taco Bell is mexican.

Changing the lipstick on a pig doesn’t make it a different pig. 

It’s not about demanding that things be to our tastes, it’s about imagining a world in which creators were incentivized to create art that was meaningfully distinctive from stuff they’d already created.

My exact fucking thought. I even re-read it because I was sure I must have just misunderstood.

The irony of making an argument this grossly disingenuous while claiming its the author being disingenuous is crazy.

“helped finance the $800 land grab around Solano County.”

“We’ve kept quiet on the subject of our sister Ruby Franke for the sake of her children.”

Uh, for the sake of her children you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT have kept quiet!

Keeping child abuse quiet for 3 years “for the sake of the children” what the entire fuck? 

So you instead advocate for them to pay 70 dollars to arrive at the same conclusion of what their gut told them in the first place because you have nothing more than that tired half-defense?

You don’t have to drive a nail through your dick to know it’ll suck.

Seriously, thanks for this comment.  I’ve been on the fence about Starfield, now think I’m going to forgo it for a while.  I know Bethesda games are not the most story/character driven game (I’ll play DA:O or ME if I want that), but I love Bethesda games (notably Skyrim) just because of the joy of exploring and…

Harder to play and also just significantly less joyful. Menuing is not exploration. There is no “ooh whats that over there” impulse except when you’re literally within cities. Something is either placed directly on your lap, or you have to just pick a location from a menu and hope there might be something interesting…

No offense to Todd Howard but I have never been proud to own a game in my life. 

“So we end up where we are with Starfield, a game that visually looks like something from this era, but still plays and operates like a game from 2005"

I was looking at the county map and exactly where Travis AFB is located...

I just want their cranky old tech modernized and to not have to rely mods for basic UI features.

“Patrol Crossover” truly does not have a ring to it

lets put this pay into perspective. Imagine you made $250,000 a year. To make what he made last year, you’d have to work at that salary for 1,516 years.

Executive compensation is way out of hand, but if this guy’s just exercising stock options that’s not the same as a guy bleeding the company to pay himself a massive salary.
