There's a big difference between "neo-Confederates rolled back a lot of the gains of the Union's victory" and "the South won the Civil War". From a military perspective, the South lost. The leadership was removed and the states were put under military occupation. The Confederate constitution was discarded and the…

I dunno, can The Caffeine Spider read an article before commenting?

Like an angel, which has lived in heaven and is only capable of thinking according to God's will, that thus has the vocal character and emotion of a plate of room temperature blancmange.

I've made the same mistake! One of my favorite LPers ended up getting a job at Volition and I was like "uh… the studio that made that shitty DTR game? oh, no"

DTR:R was made by another studio, Volatile Games. The only other game they did was a Reservoir Dogs game. And thank you, and you can certainly quote me.

It's amazing to me how little the people who made Dead To Rights: Retribution understood what was charming about the game they were "reimagining". It's one thing that they made Jack an unlikable grunty-man and Shadow a wolf-shaped bear. It's another thing that they ditched the goofy neo-noir setting and dialogue. It's…

Galaxy 1 and 2 were quietly ported to the Wii U at some point, so hopefully they'll do the same thing for the Switch.

Keep in mind that, like with the NES, there were technical differences between cartridges that enabled more complex games over time. In particular, the Super Mario Land ROM is only 0.5 Mbit, while Super Mario Land 2 was 4 Mbit.

*blows bubbles out of pipe* I too have many central qualms and am outraged about et cetera, forthwith

Sure. The intention was to fluster him into admitting what everyone already knows.

Most adults don't spend time with teenagers unless they're related to them or have some professional reason to do so. This is also known as the list of people who really, really should not be getting in sexual relationships with teenagers.

Wow, you are really going to the mat on this one.

He asked a vague question because a direct question wouldn't be answered. I mean, that's what the interviewer said his goal was. It'd be a shitty thing to spring that question on a random person, but Kelly's position here is already well-known.

I'd settle for the barge pole.

God also killed 99% of all life on earth, burned a city to the ground, killed a bunch of Egyptian children, murdered a bunch of people for making a statue of a cow, etc. I think it's safe to say he's not a moral exemplar.

I'm pretty sure just typing that collection of words is admissible as evidence in court now.

If the meat is barbecued, yes.

Mayo is oil and eggs emulsified together. There's nothing remotely objectionable about it.
