But that’s not the perspective that the article is about.  It wasn’t about Ash feeling ashamed about the size of her collection in comparison, it was about being a black person and seeing another black person, particularly an older black person being recognized. 

Rightfully bashing her for writing a puff piece about race? You’re claiming that people are right to bash someone solely for doing the job they were hired for? Ms. Parrish was hired, I’m sure, in part to bring her own perspective to an audience that doesn’t necessarily see representation in the games media.

And Ms.…

“the woman’s race (or gender, for that matter) has nothing to do with her collection. all you did was suggest that its out of the ordinary for a black woman to be into games.”

And everything to do with the author’s perspective on it which is what the article is about.

Roger Ebert gave a “thumbs down” rating to the…

Y’all! A Black woman was named the winner of not one but two world records for having the largest collection of LCD and playable gaming systems and my mind is alight with joy.

That reminds me of seeing an original Puck Man cabinet (though not knowing the history, thought it was a knock off machine at the time) and they were right to worry that they would be vandalized.

It’s like the new Doctor in Doctor Who.  But the concern with this new car was that it didn’t perform well in the first round of testing.  Just like every other remodel before it.

I imagine the Aligned universe where you get modern takes on classic characters and everything else (Beast Wars) gets shoehorned in. 

Wish they’d just let him do whatever he’s trying to with Verum Rex

I’ve literally thrown half a drink and fries in the trash so many times that I’ve basically stopped going there because of this issue.

It’s a big country. And one look at the London mayoral races tells me that some countries are still in the “We just don’t discuss those sorts of things in public” phase that America used to wallow in about race and sexual orientation.

No vaccination required? They should hold them in Texas with Japan and the US as cohosts. (Going to need some Kevlar for the Chinese team though.)

Real Estate is a good example because it’s about to run into a problem that NES games will hit another ten to fifteen years later and that is that humans are (with perhaps the exception of Keith Richards and Paul Rudd) mortal. The real estate construction boom that will occur over the next few years to meet demand…

It’s just what they’re currently most known for. 

I thought California enacted a law about five or six years ago requiring all cars on the road to have a person sitting in the driver’s seat. I recall thinking at the time that it was a very forward thinking law.

There’s a dearth of right-wing comedy because punching down just isn’t funny.

It always sucks when a white Christian conservative cis hetero male realizes that every last single thing isn’t marketed directly to him. Or, as the other 90% of society calls it, reality.

Republicans are still pushing the fable that $160k is upper class so that their base can label themselves “middle class” while pulling in less than a third of that.  Meanwhile two thirds of income is going to households making at least three times that much. 

I always find criticism of Joss Whedon to amount to letting perfection be the enemy of progress. He’s nowhere near ideal, but he’s still lightyears ahead of most. And that’s the problem. This article should be about how Whedon is just the standard of mediocrity instead of why he’s not the standard of equality.

If this tweet has anything to do with Gamestop, I imagine it’s a victory statement for forcing out Bell. If that’s the case, then it indicates that Cohen is taking an active role at GS and that absolutely should elevate the stock if not to this level.
