Yeah, it’s kind of surprising that MS hasn’t tried making a AAA Shadowrun RPG yet, especially after the success of Cyberpunk. MS also owns multiple RPG studios now so they have the talent required.

Ms. Marvel: oh hey, f**k you!

I turn into Inigo Montoya from The Princess Diaries

I find the hand-wringing around this one so weird. I get the exhaustion over these “Lady John Wick” films that have been pumping out already, but I found Kate to be a fun genre exercise: it is what it is, and while its doing nothing particularly new, it’s anchored by some stunning set pieces and an actress who handles…

That’s a cool story. Without the app store, iOS would just have been a gateway to web apps, restricting much offline use, and reducing the dependence on the iOS environment that keeps people with a large purchase history on that platform.

The Steve Jobs “hero / shithead” rollercoaster was real, and after riding high for a long time, I was now on the down side. Someone told me that Steve explicitly instructed them to not give me access to the early iPhone SDK when it finally was ready.

You’ll pry my life-ruining mobile games from my cold dead hands

I’m straight up stealing this from a reddit thread from yesterday...

Stay with me here, I got a crazy theory:

‘Charles and Seinfeld shot a pilot together after finding a downed Cessna while hiking. According to Charles, Seinfeld said he had ‘always wanted to play the most dangerous game’.

Nope, you’re a thief. Those bottles are communal for customers eating in. It would be like taking the salt and pepper shakers or ketchup bottle from another restaurant.

It’s fake news:

And it can really help if that problem has clear diagnostic and appropriate treatment.

I enjoy video games a lot, but the ESA quote listed above sounds like textbook PR denial of a problem.
There are video games which are specifically designed to take advantage of addictive tendencies, often in ways which are profitable to the developer.

Although for us Canadians that was how it always was... its just nice to know the US is going to get the same treatment.

Feel free to cosplay as the emperor as long as you look like him. But nuking him is a no in my books. Same as dressing up as Eddie Murphy is ok but then having someone dressed as KKK beat the shit out of him, that’s not ok. It’s all about context and not having knee jerk reactions and trying to be PC all the time. I…

Well according to some reactions I’ve seen people do find it racist. Even if you authentically portray someone with genuine effort not to mock but to celebrate a character you admire there are certainly those who won’t look beyond “blackface”. To me I find it kind of strange. There is a difference between mocking and…

No because that is a stereotype. If you cosplay or impersonate an actual person, then I don’t really think it’s wrong to try to make yourself look as close as possible to the real thing. And newsflash!! Eddie Murphy is black!! More at 11!!
