“...do the bare minimum when it comes to adding anything new, let alone surprising. And yet for all of their mediocrity I can’t stop playing them.”

I get that people are upset, but this is unacceptable hyperbole and dishonesty by Ruffin, and only helps fan the flames. Blaming the jury for following the law is appalling.

oh yeah, no it’s the dog whistles you donkey. OH YEAH HE WAS FRIENDS WITH THE COPS... cause he’s white... OH YEAH THE TRIAL WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THIS WAY... cause he’s white... DOn’t be a fucking donkey

true story, bro

he defended himself from attacks, the first one threatened to kill him and any of the people he was with, then he attacked kyle and has burn marks on his hands, then he was attacked and hit by a guy with a skateboard, and then he was attacked by a guy with a gun.

He didn’t need to. Each offered a threat to his life and bodily health.

His father lived in Kenosha. He worked in Kenosha. Stop lying about him not having ties to Kenosha.

He brought a loaded weapon to a protest and paraded around with it for all to see. That an act of agression.

“The victims are Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, two white men who were at a rally to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake”

I’m sorry but it’s just not accurate to claim that there is no potential advantage for someone who was born on the male end of the spectrum but transitions to female in athletic competition with those born on the female end of the spectrum. That added testosterone makes a difference, regardless of whether it is…

I get that this is not the focus of the article, but can you please not promote the obvious, easily-disproved lie that he took horse medicine? This is the same line that CNN used and not only did they end up tripping over their own dicks in the aftermath, they handed Rogan and his bullshit anti-vax takes an easy…

Interesting piece. So is the one linked below, which is one of several as I recall where Kotaku openly chastised ‘gamers’ for crying “But muh accuracy!” at Battlefield V including women soldiers during WWII, going so far as to imply they were sexist for calling out what they felt was clear corporate pandering. Times…

Call of Duty’s single player campaigns, have never been about “historical accuracy.”

There is no reason to assume otherwise at any point. Even during the worst advertising moments of CoD where they even mention the word “accuracy,” the game that followed, never fit that description.

We should also get rid of all cars because of traffic accidents or candy cause some kid choked on it. Let’s all stay inside and die in our sleep!

You guys are being wildly pessimistic. Even Trump didn’t run as anti-gay because he knew that was a losing issue. Homophobia still exists, as do homophobic politicians, but most of this has been sublimated toward anti-trans panic. That’s horrible and needs to change to, but the idea that we will be anywhere close to…

Actually LGBTQ+ acceptance is one of the areas where America seems to be making intractable progress.
