I mean, I’m all for insane skateboard tricks, but the main definition of “insane” is still used in relation to mental illness and depictions of mental illness. It further adds to the stigma that mentally ill people are uncontrollable, unpredictable, or dangerous. Like, look at your example of the Joker (and basically…

You seem pretty sensitive to this change.

He’s right about certain things, like absurd government euphemisms such as a “Police Action” instead of an illegal war and “Neutralization” instead of extra-legal murder and execution.

Update: repeat-checking behavior of first time parents has been restored. Parents that have previously raised a toddler to teenager will leave subsequent toddlers in the care of the dog to try and woohoo but probably just wind up napping on the couch.

Ahh, good ol’ George. He made a lot of good arguments over the years, and made them hilarious.

You literally used the word “eratic” to explain what the word “insane” means in this specific context. Maybe it is the better word after all.

The game is now less realistic.

For most people this has zero percent to do with anything you’re on a soap box about. The Erratic/Insane trait just straight out WASN’T crazy. It was just a little annoying. There was no point in using it. That’s it. No reason to be all ‘SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS RAWR SO STUPID’ about it.

Gays getting married??? What’s next, fucking your TURTLE???

ah, the dreaded slippery slope!!!!

Oh, do fuck right off.

You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s that the press has been the singular tool in the toolbox for individuals combating large businesses and corporations. It’s not a culture of fear, as that implies it permeates the populace, but rather, it’s a measure of only resort for the average person.

Yeah. Valve are a lot like Google and consider interacting with customers beneath them. They’re just heading off bad publicity here.

Yeah but if it had not been for Kotaku contacting Valve in the first place, it seems that Valve would have left the dev to linger because his emails weren’t ‘important enough’.

Though, by getting his game on Kotaku he’s gotten it far more exposure than it ever would! Steam is just hell for discovery for new games. So maybe it ends up being a net positive for him - I hope.

I went to the Federalist to have a look, made it to the first “as God intended”, then threw my phone across the room.

My American history/ political science is rusty so forgive me, but why is a conservative newssite called “The Federalist”? Don’t they have opposing values?

Who the fuck cares about People anyways? You think I know what’s on their cover? Fuck no.

...when the bombs do start dropping, there’s a chance you’ll die due to random happenstance, rather than competition. Given that PUBG has taken on a reputation as the hardcore, pseudo-realistic battle royale game (compared to Fortnite’s cotton candy funtime shenanigans, at least), some players would like to see red…
