My biggest peeve is the industry’s stance (read: utter bullshit belief) that piracy equals lost sales. Gtfo. It’s reflective of the indistry’s bloated self-worth and blind arrogance when they presume that people who pirate a game would otherwise pay for it if they couldn’t steal it.

So “big brother is watching” turned out to be the masses and not government. Once this ball is rolling fast... good luck stopping it (see: slippery slope). If you think this sucks now, just you wait. We are in for some insanely shitty times ahead.

There’s so much talk of death and copies of people and yet nobody has a single clue about how a transporter works or the true nature of space-time.

It is not a “human right”. As already said elsewhere here... the very concept of “free speech” only exists in the context of a citizen’s relationship to their government with few exceptions. Nobody has the simplistic right to just shoot their mouth off... the right of “free speech” is about ensuring your being fairly…

What Cheesbeagle said... it’s not a scam. Calling it a scam when it’s not does not do our side of the debate any favors. The truth should be enough... we don’t need to exaggerate this catastrophe any further. It’s a clusterfuck already without folks needing to mislabel it a scam.

Mars, to me, is sci-fi but it’s still (removes sunglasses) a far cry from the original. ;)

I encourage all those with a spine to never buy this. I know I’ll do my best to avoid it. And this is coming from someone who considered the first one a GotY. The only way I’d ever touch this is if it shows up included in a Humble Bundle some day.

What an asinine generalization to make. Pot... meet kettle.

Post Malone and Spock have bangs but Kieran Trippier and Ronaldo do not have bangs! C’mon! Buzz cuts CAN’T have bangs! They cut it all off! >_>

Acknowledging that you’re greatly exaggerating for what is only consult with prescription... I still want to ask; wasn’t this the sort of thing exactly what ObamaCare was supposed to alleviate? (I’m not a U.S. citizen so don’t know the details.)

Sounds like this douche wants to role-play but won’t let others do the same (if only in spirit). If someone is harassing you and you complain about it isn’t that realistic? Isn’t that would really happen? Isn’t an unfettered malcontent absolutely unrealistic?

Cursing? Cursing in general isn’t under fire. Homophobic slurs are. The headline tells you as much.

Stay mad? What? I don’t see any of that tone coming from Arnheim at all. Maybe it would help if you tried to read his posts as read by Steven Wright and lose all the emotional context you seem to be projecting (we all do it).

This @ Valve! Do they actually make games anymore? I can’t imagine working somewhere where my work would never see the light of day for so many years of work. Speaking as an ex-industry worker (albeit very briefly) I totally feel for everyone involved.

I’ve always wished that these criminals would be the type of folks that groups akin to Anonymous would protect the world from (I’m talking an idealized version of some group). /dreams

Diapers are obviously gross for very obvious reseaons. How in the world are socks or a shirt gross? Are shorts also gross? No? Why not? Are they made of some magical fabric or something?

“The mind makes it real!”

‘No. Not here. Not in my space,’” she said.

In a strange way, Oprah was the last true journalist, as she had the clout to force people on, and force them to answer questions.

Ftfy.
