Someone sends me the last pic in an email with ‘A bit cloudy today, but not a bad view from our room in LA!’ and I might not have looked twice...

Sex is natural, violence isn’t.

‘adult’ just means ‘porn’. Even if it were one of the many, many Japanese games about molesting pre-teens it’d still be ‘adult’.

“I’m not grasping for as many straws as it may appear.”

I disagree. This is silly.  

It’s primarily a liability dodge. It allows the service provider to say that they have filters in place, and it’s not their liability for bad info from users (ie people incorrectly entering their birthdates intentionally or otherwise)

Just reading about her is off-putting. From politics, journalism, game-dev and now politics again. She hasn’t been successful in any of these roles and seems more of a self-promoter than anything. The same could be said for most politicians really.

She’s not a great person if you know anything about her. It didn’t even sound like she knew what she was campaigning for.

Owning her mistakes? “I didn’t have enough money, and the people working for me sucked.” Not exactly what I'd call owning it.

She’s a pretty offputting person in general from what I’ve heard about her. 

Ethan’s other piece said she was driving around in a Porsche and Challenger to speak to constituents in what commenters said was a predominantly blue-collared county.

I have zero desire to get into the mess surrounding Wu (as Gamergate is and always has been toxic as fuck, and founded on a number of fallacy-laden arguments), but I’m just going to put this out there: Comparing a political candidacy to soldiers fighting in World War II, where hundreds of thousands of American…

That tweet wasn't transphobic.

It may be as simple as they are going to have to have servers for this game anyway so it just makes sense to them to do a Battlenet thing of their own now and they have the brand recognition to pull it off without hurting potential sales.

probably want to keep all the DLC money without giving valve a cut

Taking the original twitter spat alone, her behavior was ridiculous. She posted a multi-tweet essay, essentially, to a public space. Someone respectfully commented on that essay and she began passively insulting him.

Great article. RimWorld is my new go to for this kind of thing, although dwarf fortress people usually give me some side-eye and say its too simplified lol. RimWorld is a good intro game though if you want a taste of what youre getting into before diving in to the full depths of DF.

Let’s make sure people can see and understand what half-assed false equivalence looks like. :)

"good story"
