My wife and I have more than once managed to avoid me getting her sick, and vice versa, by sleeping in separate rooms, washing hands, and keeping surfaces clean. We didn’t have to “not be with each other,” we just had to spend a couple of days cleaning well and not making out.

China is working hard to shift the blame of this pandemic away from China. Their choice to imprison and punish doctors and journalists for talking about the virus is the very reason that its now a global pandemic. The totalitarian government hoped it would just go away. This should be called The People’s Republic of…

“I am not really worried about my wife and kids getting it, I am more worried about passing it along to our parents who are 65-70 years old.”

Uh well first off, no crunch doesn’t “happen in any industry” and secondly the crux of the problem is they don’t EVER have the perfect scope of work.

I would say movie and TV development is akin to creating video games as they are huge artist undertakings being done largely for profit, but why do we not hear so much about horrible working conditions in those industries?

There is a night-and-day difference between crunch where something caught fire and people need to pull some extra hours or a weekend to clean it up, versus Game Dev “Crunch” where 6 day 90 hour work weeks for 6 months straight are built into the development timeline from the get-go.

They really need to look at their order of operations.

Fuck CDPR.

I remember the first time I heard that FX were doing a Fargo series and I went into it without expecting much. It’s now probably one of my favourite tv shows and I think that Season 2 is probably one of the finest seasons of television ever produced.

That and 2/3 of those draftees are unfit to serve. We are simply too fat and sick as a society for a draft to be worthwhile.

If I can offer one piece of advice my Dad gave me many years ago that has helped me my entire life is “Control your worrying or your worrying will control you”

I wouldn’t worry too much about a draft chiefly because you’re a woman and I doubt the chuckle fucks who run our government will add women to that. Second most people in the military prefer a volunteer rather than a conscripted army. Volunteer soldiers tend to follow orders and fight harder because they chose to be…

People tend to be dismissive of things that aren’t really worth being invested in. This is an article about Korean women being upset that an already sexualized japanese, repackaged as Korean, girl has been sexualized further. Or not as far depending on how you view school girl outfits verses skin tight latex in terms…

I will assume that at no point in your life have you heard someone say they were upset by something and gone “jeez, that’s a dumb thing to be upset about”. In which case, congratulations on being so very, very noble.

The whole premise of the game is “hot people shoot each other sorta” combined with a weirdly out of touch street fighter attempt to be global that was never not going to be problematic, so it’s a tough position to find a character who was absolutely 100% designed as japanese “tiny evangelion pilot” first and then…

I can't believe people take video game cosmetics this seriously, but here we are.

Adding anything in game development is a lot of work.

Um. I didn’t see anywhere where it said to trust the Russians?

Because Orange Man bad.

I should have known this would be a Gita Jackson article. If you’re really interested in learning more about this you’d put away the Kommunist Manifesto and pick up Das Kapital where the meat of Marx’s works resides. If you haven’t already you can also grab some Simone de Bouvier to double-dip in Communist concepts…
