To be fair, Luke refers to it as a “moment of instinct” or something along those lines. In other words, he really didn’t think about it. He detected evil, momentarily freaked out, and immediately realized his mistake... but it was too late.

Perhaps. I just get frustrated with people who want to end pay discrimination but aren’t willing to fight for the change necessary to bring that about.

If the Screen Actors’ Guild et. al. would get their act together, entertainment is actually one of the few industries that could make such a change without legislation requiring it.

There’s a better way to change things: reform how pay negotiations are handled across as many industries as possible.

It comes down to a cost/benefit question, though. There’s improvement at higher resolution, but the degree of that improvement comes with sacrifices. The users have to pay more for better hardware, and the developers generally have to budget more to cover the extra labor required to build that subtlety.

It absolutely is obnoxious, but that’s kinda the point. As long as it’s not too frequent and not doing any actual harm, it can be funny to see people get mad over trivial matters. It can even be funny to realize just how irrationally bothered you are over something like this.

In a game with an asymmetric balance system, whether video game or tabletop game, there are going to be some strategies / characters / positions which come out statistically ahead of others. Sometimes the difference is so stark that the best solution is a developer tweaking the code (or a designer publishing errata).

“But no, most people do not go around changing their sexual fetishes to less acceptable ones because their old one was appropriated by the mainstream”

I’m not as educated on the distinction between kink and fetish. Either way, “everyone has a kink” doesn’t preclude those kinks from being socially unacceptable. If a kink is driven, at least in part, from it seeming forbidden, then making said kink more acceptable will also make it less desirable.

Setting aside the non-sexual elements of Furry fandom, I think part of the trouble is that the sexual element of Furryism is more-or-less a fetish, and thereby socially unacceptable by definition.

Most transaction fees are paid by the seller, not the buyer. I’m not sure if Steam tacked on an extra surcharge for bitcoin, but in most situations the tender system (credit card or whatnot) contractually requires that the merchant provide the exact same price to all tender types.

“Citing Bitcoin’s volatility and increasing processing fees”

The graphics are still three-dimensional (even if the device isn’t stereoscopic), but yeah, it’s pretty silly.

It’d be fantastic, but it’s going to be nigh-impossible until Congress grows a backbone and impeaches him.

My least favorite thing about Black & Milds is the plastic cap that so frequently ends up left on the ground.

Yes, I’ve got one of those too. I just wish I could get a modern controller that had the clicky digital pad alongside all the other controls. Both the Neo Geo for PS and the PDP pad leave off some buttons.

So here’s one thing that I wish more controllers had in lieu of a 4-directional d-pad: a Neo-Geo style clicky slide pad.

It was originally Pumpkin Pie Spice rather than just Pumpkin Spice. It was a spice mixture that’s added to the pumpkin, not the pumpkin itself.

The emulator itself might be legal, but the ROMs aren’t; they’re almost certainly illegal, though the concept of a “backup copy” is somewhat arguable if the player owns the original game.

The Witcher series was also primarily developed in Poland, which has had an undervalued currency (as compared to USD) since about 2008 (http://www.economist.com/content/big-mac-index).
