Jokes on you. The talkies destroyed the medium. Directors are still playing catch up to what cinema was doing in the 1920s. Get off my lawn!

Rigid adherence to overly harsh, and/or unjustified penalties is an important aspect of authoritarianism, so yes, it fuckin well is.

Seriously. By FGC standards this is literally nothing. It’s the mildest joke I’ve seen. I’m wondering if there’s something else he did, that no one is privy to, because if not then NRS has the thinnest skin of any dev.

Weak.
Fighting game players have a long history of calling out “cheapness” and exploiting cheap tactics while griping at the developers. It’s a semi-rowdy heckling thing that gives the scene texture and makes it feel less like sponsored corporate nonsense.

What’s with the random authoritarianism? No need for any specific punishment as such, why should the guy forfeit a round when nobody was insulted, threatened or otherwise harmed?

I thought it was a cute little show.

There was a great scene in Anne of Green Gables where she talks about how Anne is so much better then Ann.

JT Fallon sounds like a weak rapper from Iowa. 

I often feel terrible for the way the internet treated this very genuine and delightful theatre girl a few years back.

That first El-P tweet-- *chef’s kiss*

Comedies never have good first episodes. I trust Tina Fey 

Haven’t watched this yet, but off the top of my head, how many great comedies had a promising pilot? The pilots for The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, and Superstore were all met with mixed reviews, right?

Obviously not as great as 30 Rock or Kimmy Schmidt, but I thought it was really funny. I didn’t find the political stuff to be that poorly timed; Danson’s character is obviously the butt of a lot of the jokes. And I don’t think this show should be blamed for not anticipating an attempted coup.

But 30 Rock and Kimmy are so good!
