As an aside:Catholics are not evangelicals. In fact, Catholics were a lot more liberal and radical in the US for most of the 20th century-it’s only more recently that the church has taken a swerve to the right.

Dyslexia, dementia, diarrhea. Lots of d’s in there.

I mean Family Guy isn’t great in many ways, but Seth McFarlane hasn’t had any accusations. I’m not sure how you’re trying to frame this? Actually I’m not sure of any of this. It’s shitty however any of this occurred and whatever accusations are true. I firmly plant myself as team no one. 

There’s an important distinction to be made here between a leaker and a journalist. When someone leaks a document to the journalist, it’s entirely the journalist’s prerogative whether or not they want to report on that. They have not signed any NDAs and have no obligation to protect companies’ secrets. In fact, a…

Maybe I’m old. Maybe I’ve been married “to long”. Maybe I just don’t like bullshit. But I don’t care if you wear makeup or not.

Yes, I’m the illiterate one, not the people who equate approximating a darker skin tone with smearing greasepaint all over your face, painting on big white lips, and doing a grotesque racial caricature.

You know what I find offensive?  Insistently referring to every instance of using makeup to approximate a darker skin tone as ‘blackface.’

Desperados isn’t turn-based nor is it an RPG. It’s a squad-based stealth game.

Those are just games with isometric (or top-down, in the case of Frozen Synapse) cameras. Commandos, Desperados and Shadow Tactics were all squad-based stealth games that revolved around vision cones and distractions. It’s a very specific genre.

I’m really hyped, Commandos was my jam back in the day, and I LOVED Desperados (I think they were the first ones to use a system where you could queue actions, this allowed the gunslinger to take down 3 enemies at once) and Shadow Tactics hit all the right marks for me for a revival of the genre.

CD Projekt Red, confirmed den of transphobia and intolerance. I won’t buy a single game they release in 2018!

That tweet wasn't transphobic.

So um, do you really think people who have chosen to be adult sex workers support underage sex trafficking?

Congratulations, progressives whose college boyfriend was stolen by some “slutty” girl or who weren’t asked out enough. Your collective case of sour grapes will now literally kill or impoverish my friends.

There are multiple contexts at play. There always are. The FOCAL one is the use of ‘powerful people’ (Josh’s words, not Musk’s). So no, Musk being an Afrikaner is not an instance of the context this thread was discussing (and which you were trying to derail with other contexts). If you’ll engage with the topic,…

Peddle your derailment elsewhere, friend.

It’s only a dog whistle if you actually mean it that way. If it’s not what a person really means, then the perceiver has simply misread the statement. And there’s not a whole lot of room for interpretation here. I think it’s extremely clear that Musk was operating in a specific context. Topolsky isn’t dredging up that…

Seriously, I know Elon Musk is a fucking asshole nutcase, but he was clearly referring to the “powerful people” in the tweet to which he was replying. There’s so much else one can readily critique about his stupid position on creating what would effectively be Verrit 2.0 (but with actual investment behind it,…

I sometimes wish they’d make Sengoku II :(

Are you sure that guy isn’t Stephen, just trying to keep you on your toes?
