Yeah, I am so fucking done with these people. I already voted since I live in VA, and it’s really telling that this sort of bullshit is the kind of stuff Youngkin is trying to run on. I just hope enough people in my state get up off their butts and vote against him. We’ve made lots of progress in Virginia in the last…

Yeah - I had it matter exactly once, when I was trying to start the car on a dead battery with a jump. Needed to turn off the AC to get it going, but after that it was fine.

Or, you know, parity between the two - so that the same armor wouldn’t show as a plate bikini for female characters while appearing as fully covering armor on males. The right way to do things is to give people the option to look the way they want.

The OP wasn’t defending Blizzard, at least as I read it. Rather they’re pointing out how Blizzard clearly doesn’t understand what they did wrong or why, and therefore is busy trying to remove anything that could possibly make them ‘look bad’ in a knee jerk manner.

Yes, absolutely this. One of WoW’s problems though is that they’ve never really seemed able to do this. FFXIV for instance has all sorts of outfits for everyone (if you want them), male or female. WoW infamously had mulitple sets of armor that on a male character was a full suit of normal(ish) plate armor, but on…

I would agree, but it’s just sort of telling that such a basic response is far better than most of their counterparts have been able to manage. Really speaks to the state of the industry, and all.

You’re assuming GTA6 will ever even come out. It’s more like, people will keep buying stupid shark cards to fund GTA Online crap, while GTA 5/Online keeps getting ported to new platforms a la Skyrim.

Keep in mind too, that’s “50k as average for QA.” From what I understand that includes all software QA, and there’s a big difference between doing QA for non-games software, and for games, because there’s a much bigger pool of people willing to take jobs doing Game QA because they think it’s “getting paid to play…

And the “explanation” makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever - especially in the context of the remarks they made about it. It utterly reeks of “haha in-joke”.

The question isn’t whether everyone knew it - it’s whether *they* knew it, and whether that’s why they were making the references. And honestly, it’s really hard to see any other reason why, because none of the other stuff Cosby was famous/infamous for has anything remotely related to this.

The question is though, why did -they- do it. If they weren’t aware of the context, just why would they name a hotel suite full of alcohol where they joked about bringing hot women after him, to the point of holding up a picture? As someone else posted, it sure wasn’t about pudding.

I loved TBC - but I already played through it once, and did everything there was that I cared to do. I don’t need to play it again.

I mean you’re not wrong - ultimately the only agency you have in WoW, at all, is to choose whether or not to advance the storyline.

Exactly. As someone else already pointed out, they only put that disclaimer up to avoid getting sued. They were otherwise more than happy to broadcast every second of his lies.

Yep. GTA6 won’t come until people stop buying Shark Cards for GTA Online.

More than I thought he’d get, but less than I would’ve preferred.

Poke around enough behind those organizations pressing for these actions against “trafficking” and you’ll find the driving force is often people/groups that are purely anti-sex work in general. For those people, this is not a bug, this is the intent.

I mean, yeah, Fox and its fellow right-wing media nutjobs are largely the root cause of so much of this shit. Even when they’re not the ones instigating it, they absolutely are pouring gasoline on the flames, and gullible idiots eat it up. And while I don’t think the suckers should be entirely absolved of guilt,…

Aw man, I wish I’d have known - I’m just outside Richmond!

Cheney won’t bend the knee, though, and Stefanik will. That’s what matters - being willing to embrace the Dear Leader’s most egregious and ridiculous lies, and choosing him over democracy. Not even voting for his preferred bills in Congress matters, because that’s just a sideshow - the real question is Trump vs…
