Thank you for the intel!

No, listen, this fits perfectly into Transparent. The shows focuses on the late-in-life transition of Maura, but it all plays out in this incredibly privileged, white, affluent, insular community where everyone gets to fuck up and be a total asshole without any real consequences. Caitlin Jenner is a perfect example of…

I ask this with immense fondness: u mad

Oh well being in game development is stressful. Bioware made great games but after ME3 people were more or less like “welp nice knowing them”

Yea but that one person’s opinion brought out the entire fan base to attack. It probably was because of the critical reception of their most recent title and they were looking for a way to appease the base. Also VN storytelling doesn’t affect gameplay mechanics at all, it’s a storytelling device that can be used in…

“The thing that always struck me about Hepler is that yeah, someone who hates combat heavy RPGs really shouldn’t be working on combat heavy RPGs.”

I don’t get the joke.

This is the most accurate description I’ve heard of Kojima and this site, something about him brings out the defensive weeaboo in people.

“It’s not sexist to have a girl dressed like that! You’d understand the story if you played the game!”

I don’t really think ‘tit pic’ is a phenomenon in the way dick pics are, but we do write about video game breasts pretty often. You’d know this if you actually read Kotaku.com!

Destroyer of Spanx?

Yep, they’re just the PBS episodes, with the beginning bit with Sue and Mel cut out, as well as the educational bits. Which is weird since it’s PBS and you’d think they’d keep the education stuff in!

I love Yvette Nicole Brown’s response to this “trend” so I’ll just leave this here

That is a valid point. I think it’s also about the lawyer making a name for himself so he can make money off other men who have been expelled for sexual assault.

Yes but how is that a Title IX lawsuit? He could sue her for slander but actually she isn’t the one who named him. He named himself in a newspaper article he participated in.

He was found innocent by the college. What justice does he want? He graduated fine.

I am not trying to downplay economic policy, but it is not a single determining factor. My comment about Farage (and Trump) is that they are loud voices and they are not relying on dog-whistle. They are overt. The difference is relevant and the overt being considered acceptable is worse.

I would have to argue that the overton window had already shrunk under 12 years under republican presidents (after a very brief window with a democratic president). Obama ran right of center on some economic issues, but was responding to a serious recession and no assurance that he would have a congress that he could…

The Kennedys were undeniably good-looking, but I think the Obamas are the most attractive First Couple in history.

I think that blaming a politician who has been out of office for a decade and a half is a stretch. You’d have to spread it out, if its over that timeline. Bush (2), for instance, bears more blame for how the US treated different conflicts in Muslim-majority countries as if they were the same. There was also a lot of…
