he’s like 40 now though

I can’t be mad at him, but at this point it isn’t about him.

It’s not progress, but it is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

...shortly before partially withdrawing it, anyway.

I clearly need to read more of Malcolm X’s work.

Not really mentioned, but...

There’s a key factor missing here. Blind Boxes are popular amongst kids because no normal adult would fall for such a scam and young kids are using their parent’s money. This whole lootbox issue is because they’re trying to protect kids from falling into the same trap.

I wish Elon Musk would shoot himself into the sun for a gimmick. Because he’s a hack who somehow has failed upwards with no real accomplishments. He’s a meme now, which is the best that can be said about him.

Ethan, have you checked out Myth? It’s the orchestrated version of the Xenogears soundtrack, and it is beautiful. Also, very disappointed by your exclusion of

I thought the same thing when it went on the PTR, it’s a god awful boring map. They took a freaking theme park and instead of having you fight inside the actual rides where there could be special effects and light shows and so much other stuff they instead decided to replicate the feeling of walking a stroller past…

It would be hard for a prosecutor to make that case in a court of law, though. “Your Honor, we’re charging the defendant with attempted murder because c’mon... we all know that in this day & age, police are so unreliable and…

I hope the actual murderer gets charged too. Responding to a report doesn’t mean shoot someone for responding to your demand to open the door.

What about the cop? This shouldn’t have escalated that far...

Now let’s see the police who killed the man charged with murder? No, that can’t happen because we’re fucked?

All the technology in the world, and a man was killed by the hyper militaristic police summoned by a prank.

Spend them on something else other than Overwatch. They’re just branded battle.net credit vouchers. You can spend the balance on whatever you want.

The plotting itself in Act 2 was pointless. What Rian Johnson was trying to do (I’m not sure I totally agree with his decisions) was take the usual harebrained Star Wars convoluted Hail Mary hero plan and make it fail. And fail spectacularly.

I was about to say “inb4 someone who doesn’t remotely understand socialism says something dumb” but I was way too late.
