A purity test she built for herself. A purity test she weaponizes against everyone else.

Except Pelosi is retiring the Speakership next year, and many of the others are roughly her age and won’t stay in those positions too long either. I guess AOC can always serve a term or two as a Senator, then come back to the House and run for Speaker. Then return to the Senate and run for majority leader. Then run…

Usually when we give aid to Israel, it’s basically a back-door subsidy to defense manufacturers in the US (AKA it’s basically vouchers to use to buy US weapons and equipment). So I suppose it at least stimulates job growth back in the US. 

Reporters in the room on Thursday described her colleagues gathering around to comfort her as she wiped tears from her face.

Isnt this the same guy who posted this because he came up with a dumb sci fi reason to dress a woman in fishnets and a thong? 

Man, imagine thinking you know the point of the game more than the creator of the game.

Any artistic work is full of intentions, ideas, feelings, social code and subconscious pulses that the artist cannot coherently say in any other way except through artistic expression. Frequently artists can’t construct a point and don’t even try to, the point is made in the finished artpiece better than they could…

“imagine thinking you know the point of the game more than the creator of the game”

Well, death of the author and all...

i actually agreed with him

Funny you say that, because by the time I got a zipline network set up everywhere, I was basically done with the game and I was grateful for them particularly in the part towards the end where you have to go a crazy distance to proceed and (iirc) had to do so quickly. I definitely agree with the robot though... I…

6 years ago I sold my collection to afford a move across the country. I had a sealed copy and an open copy of Rule of Rose. If you had told me “in 6 years their price is going to skyrocket” I would’ve held onto them.

That being said, I am in favor of piracy in some forms. With these price hikes, I’m all the more for…

Now nobody can deny that videogames aren’t art, a way to launder money by people who don’t care about it.

Yeah, as a retro collector myself the last 10-15 years, I’ve seen a MAJOR price hike across the board over the last five.

The only difference is that Greek mythology has long fallen out of practice, so there are no devout worshippers to come along and make a fuss about Kratos smashing Zeus in the face.

Can you maybe change the title to include “Mo-capped a Baby” instead of just “Capped a Baby”... I definitely misunderstood it until I read the article.  And I freaked the hell out.

Well, I can’t speak for if you’re a terrorist, but I had Miitopia on the 3DS and I thought it was quite fun. I just have no reason to buy it again at all. Plus it kind of loses some of its appeal when Miis are basically dead.

I don’t know if it’s related but r/tlou2 has been outright banned on Reddit.  My vocal dislike of the game lasted a couple days, and then I moved on as any rational sane person would do.  It’s been WELL over a year and these people still act like Neil came to their homes and killed their beloved pet.  

Im honestly surprised we don’t hear about this kind of stuff more often. Most of the time when you see sexual harassment you automatically assume it’s towards women, because it usually is.

This is a nice longform article in the vein of Jason’s Schreier’s reporting of behind-the-scenes game development. Glad to see this article type again. Great job!
