Nothing more human than the need to categorize, sort, and rank things according to whatever is the fancy of the day.

It seems pretty self evident that we give awards as a celebration of the work that was done in a given year. This isn’t even some unique facet of the entertainment industry — we give awards for Best Regional Salesperson and Best Mid-sized Sedan and Best E-learning product.

Assholes don’t have to pretend too hard to be an asshole. Can we stop giving attention to the dumbasses of this world?

“This practice” you mean game development? If things aren’t working its better to cut early. If you ever get the chance to work on a game you’ll see it’s not as straight forward as it seems from your armchair.

First and foremost he was a brilliant writer of short fiction; second, he was, his entire professional life here in Norway, bullied a lot for his speech impediment.

Because a developer who has a new game out approached me with an idea about talking about maze design and I thought it’d make for a fun post. And I was fine with him plugging his game near the end. My call. No one else’s.

Am I the only person who find the complaint about a lack of innovation to be completely irrelevant? I mean, how many people who are planning to buy Borderlands 3 want it to be anything other than more Borderlands? I know some people are saying “I was burnt out of Borderlands after the first one, part 2 didn’t tickle…

If it isn’t on the bill, you don’t owe it. File this under - reasons US tipping culture should be eliminated.

I do it just to irritate folks with post histories like yours—as it’s almost exclusively the “defend my right to be an asshole” types who feel the need to tone police others. ;)

I’m very gay and this entire debacle was extremely inoffensive to me, with the “growing up” trophy name perhaps being the MOST inoffensive.

Of course, anyone can and should be offended by whatever they so choose.

I just - personally - wish we picked some of our battles better.

Ever see the traffic stop that led to this arrest warrant? The one where she told her child that the cops would have to kill her and that her child should fight the cops to their death? It’s 30 minutes of her sharing a death fantasy with a child.

This is an instance where was happened was entirely her fault. This judge is completely right.

“...the first officer to enter the apartment was “confronted with Korryn Gaines with a shotgun pointed right at him.””

Yeah I think it maybe took 2 or 3 tries for me. I had much more trouble with the RC Helicopter mission on the construction site in Vice City. 

It’s a royal pain it the ass but it’s always been very finish-able. I’ve played through GTA San Andreas several times on PS2 and while I used to dread these missions at first I got good enough to finish them first time every time.

The endless push for more minority representation is exhausting; there is simply no need for it.

“but is especially so given how just months after Bag Man’s 2014 release, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot and killed by police when he was seen playing with an airsoft gun in a park near his home.”

I know it’s hard thinking you’re the center of the universe but just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean everyone else hates it too. Sorry to rip that bandaid off.

Dumb article that only exists for a click, which in turn references a dumb essay that itself only exists for a click.
