Also, not having to put your choco away when joining random Fate of Hunt parties and then taking it out after the invite!

Yea, I followed your reasoning.

Alpha seems the most appropriate place to post this story. It’s big enough that it’ll be everywhere. I think I originally got here from Kotaku. WTF does Manning have to do with video games? Whatever, news is news.

Lol, they shoule do like they do on the Lodestone and replace it with ???? till you earn it.

Yea, I don’t know. I gave up on Gizmodo and the others awhile ago. So I am not sure how the atmosphere is much in the present. You’re right though. The bullying and fake transgressions are censored a bit too much. I was greyed temporarily because I made a comment on how gay jokes were the norm 15 years ago. (They…

Obviously it was a generalization. I didn’t include CRTV, LouderwithCrowder, or Infowars as non liberal, for example. Most every major site leans left though. Is CNN “Fake news?” Of course not. Is CNN impartial or even down the middle? No.

This “rebrand,” as you call it, isn’t anything new. People have been railing on…

I dont find the dps queues much longer than any other mmo. The fact that you can easily swap to a healer or tank, most raids only require 1 tank per 8 people, and tanking is fun combat the 4 person party pretty well.

I can agree with most of that sentiment. Don’t lump Jalopnik in there though! They just talk cars without much political injection. The authors usually aren’t the one’s dismissing though. It’s the commentators. (I’ve even dismissed a couple harassing responses to a comment or 2 of mine.)

I remember these two playing back from High School. How old are they I wonder. From the clip art here they look rather young.

If it’s a hit piece, what’s the hit?

Edit: I found it

Lawl, I just noticed that.

My first time through Heavensward I had to do some grinding to catch up in levels, but not gear, on my first 50-60. However, i believe they have made exp boosts and requirements more lax since I played through it in 3.2.

3.3 is really good story wise! Epic even.

I’m not sure how this is a hit piece on anyone. Gabe is worth more than our president isn’t a bad thing in my eyes. The only thing I’m a little confused by is how Jason use “final president.” I’m not sure but maybe he’s referring to how he thinks Trump will cause the end of America?

Leftist and leaning left are not the same thing. Yes, Kotaku’s writers seem to be all liberal on their stances. But to call them and the Kotaku commenters crazy leftists that stir up trouble is a bit much.

Being able to run around with my friendly neighborhood Choco will make my 30+ minute dps queues much more palatable!

Heavenswards’ initial MSQ was really good. They’ve really dropped the ball for the patches though. 3.1,3.2, and 3.4 were total snore fests. Hopefully 3.5 will have some good story for me when I get home!

Nah, Kotaku isn’t leftist all that much. Maybe self entitled whiners sometimes we can be? The Concourse or Jezebel on the other hand.....

You’re right for some charities! The charity showing all the thin African children is awful in this regard. (Christian Children’s fund I think?) The American Red Cross is not one of them. They supposedly give out 85% of the money they take it to people they help.

It’s kind of a chain. Most news starts on Reddit, then it gets reported on Polygon/Kotaku, other sites, and finally IGN runs a story about it without giving any credit to anyone.
