If your videos are so tremendously popular that people are willing to give their hard earned money away as a donation, I have to respect that. My issues with Sarkeesian (aside from the fact that I think she’s wrong) is that she asked for money up front first, and then outright abandoned her series throughout 2014 in…

Hmm, I suppose jealousy may be accurate. I am well-off, but I do (sometimes) work for my money. I don’t consider what Sarkeesian does as “work”, or even anything that needs funded, because popular YouTubers do videos like this, or of better quality than this on a far more consistent basis than an average of 3-4…

It would be fair to say that Westbrook’s usage rate is an attempt to maximize this roster as constructed.

If this is just about wins like most Hardin dead-enders are saying, Kawhi is a shoe in. Even in the best argument for why Hardin should be mvp he doesn’t even end up as mvp.

Basically, Harden has no shot at winning this award. The only arguments not to give the MVP to Russell involve giving the MVP to someone who isn’t James Harden.

I watched the game yesterday and here is what was very evident -- the Rockets have guys who can spot up to shoot. Sure, the Thunder hit some shots yesterday outside of Russ, but you never (NEVER) saw those guys just spotting up at the arc and waiting for a pass. Anytime they shot a 3 outside of danger time at the end…

What bothers me is both of the “Hardin is MVP” arguments lead to other people. In the “most w’s” argument Kawhi earns it, in the “all around best player” I have a hard time not giving to LeBron. So yeah, it could not be Russell, but it definitely isn’t Hardin.

The most hypocritical part of this is that he will likely get fined, BUT NBA TV, which is owned by the NBA, publicized this outburst and credited it for its “emotions.”

I’m a little mind blown at the replies you are receiving from your comments. You’re very well spoken and reasonable but people are completely misinterpreting what you’re saying. I think this is why I have had such a tough time with these sorts of conversations: Being neutral and presenting both sides of an argument…

Absolutely. For points 1 and 2, I haven’t played Witcher 3 (not sure why but it just doesn’t interest me - plus I don’t like joining game franchises in the middle) or the other two games (I will play Horizon at some point), so I am fortunate that those don’t influence my judgement at all. I’m loving Andromeda so far.

I’ve heard the narrative. I don’t see how the making of a game is at all relevant to the end-users. People don’t read into the manufacturing process of their iPhone.

It really bothers me the way people get sucked into the meta-narrative of a games development.

Easy. You simply trust that Nabisco is irredeemably racist, and go along with the boycott even though you’ve had no personal exposure to the source of the offense.

My response was dismissed, so I’m reposting it here.

Ya, overused at this point. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a comment claiming what the comic is talking about.

As far as I’ve seen, nobody’s arguing from a 1st Amendment perspective. They’re just angry that their livelihoods are being destroyed by people pressuring large companies to remove ads.

I now hate this comic due to people overposting it nonsensically​.

What you have said is one billion times more reasoned and thoughtful than that God damned cartoon that some pseudo-intellectual posts every time this subject comes up.

That’s his shtick. He posts the same thing on any post even remotely political. Then he’ll act as a moderator and delete any dissent.

I think Arugula Boogala is taking the idea that the XKCD comic defends to it’s logical conclusion, which is corporate control over our freedom of speech, by tacitly agreeing to whatever regulations those corporations implement on their platform.
