Good ol’ North Carolina. Never fails to disappoint.

Most of us won’t reach the age of McConnell because he and his ilk will see to it that the Earth is literally destroyed.

For real. If anything, a polygraph would just prove that he believes the encounters were consensual, and that doesn’t really mean anything.

Just sayin, me and everyone I know who rags on Hillary (granted this is suuuper anecdotal) went out and voted for her during the general election. I shit-talked her all the way to the polls (metaphorically) because she deserved it. I really feel like there’s a very very small amount of left-leaning people who dislike…

Another wonderfully written, fascinating look behind-the-scenes of major videogame development. I always love your work, Jason. I find myself often wondering though, what is your reputation among studio executives? If EA and Bioware’s response is any indication, there seems to be a teensy bit of animosity there.

Yeah, definitely seems like it’s going to have an impact beyond NC. Or at least one would hope.

I can definitely see the temptation to “peek behind the curtain” when approaching fights, but I think that’s unavoidable in some ways. There will always be identical enemies in consistent places that always use the same patrol routes. However, actual fights feel much less predictable to me than in prior Souls games.…

#Resistance Twitter is a grift. Everyone involved in it is a grifter. No one’s perfect, and everyone makes mistakes, but asshole public figures who portray themselves as paragons of morality are the among the most deceptive, unkind people in reality. I have more respect for people who are openly shitty and refuse to…

Anti-vaxxers basically have the human equivalent of cordyceps fungus.

Those four themes definitely hold true in my completely anecdotal Facebook experience. I would add one more: human rights. A lot of anti-vax parents I see on Facebook tend to emphasize how mandating vaccinations is somehow infringing on their intrinsic rights as human beings (no word on how spreading preventable…

Wow. I’m sad at how incredibly plausible, and likely, that all sounds.

It boggles the mind how many people read Splinter who hate its politics. Then again, it also boggles the mind how many people’s primary value is moral and political compromise.

This article has me wondering if these board members are true believers, or if their promotion of Generation Rescue is purely a financial grift. I feel it’s likely both.

Agreed on the gameplay in Reach. I’m not a big fan of multiplayer FPS’s, but even I played a lot of Reach. Still haven’t found another FPS I enjoy playing online since then.

Good picture. Definitely what eyes and mouths are supposed to look like during a smile.

Oh man I didn’t know From Software did Otogi 2!! I loved both those games when I was younger- my affinity for the Souls series makes more sense now lol

smdh George Conway should be tweeting out the DSM-5 pages on Major Neurocognitive Disorder instead of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. That might also be a thing, but brain worms are the slightly more pressing issue here imho

I mean, I’m thrilled to see real progressive traction in the House, and I’d love to see it in the Senate too. I do agree that those are both also extremely important for real change to occur, but I do fear that a more center-right president- even with a progressive Congress- may actually work against the party. I am…

Oh yeah, I mean that’s a good outcome compared to the current situation, and if Beto were to win the nomination, I would vote for him. I still don’t think that’s the ideal outcome- at least from my perspective. I think a figurehead who espouses the more progressive wing of the Democratic party would be such an…

I would argue that the difference is Bernie’s policies are much more clearly outlined and have been consistent over his entire political career. Beto, to me, comes across as someone who hasn’t put as much thought into the way he will translate his ideas into actual legislation- at least based on his public appearances.
