Yeahhhh, I think that there are probably better people in the world to target with these weirdo hit pieces

Kind of like, 0 for 2 on this whole wikileaks thing, Manning. 

What’s interesting to me is that a hard-line approach is feasible in a place like Japan, as the rate of drug use in the country seems quite low. The crime rate is among the lowest in the world while life expectancy is among the highest in the world.

It’s a strange position for me to take as an Oregonian, where one cannot throw a stone without hitting a stoner, but I can appreciate the Japanese approach to drugs. I think it could only work in a place as culturally and economically homogeneous as Japan; if our own laws were so draconian (as they once were, and…

Look, if you’re desperate and naive enough to pull a gun, then you’re desperate and naive enough to pull the trigger. I doubt that anyone will be learning any serious lessons from this conviction but robbery under threat of murder is an extremely serious crime.

Jesus. A few years ago a bikini barrista died in a similar explosion and I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Now it seems obvious. Shit.

For the sake of argument, let’s say Metro Exodus will do 50 million dollars of business in the first couple of months. Valve wants 15 million for providing hosting and the ability for every internet asshole on Steam to review bomb your game. It’s expensive and risky. Valve charges too much and the review system that…

Companies like Nintendo and Disney that take an anti-streamer stance are mindbogglingly behind the times. It’s free advertising to millions and millions of potential purchasers. What in the world are you guys thinking trying to dissuade this?

Gawker was so fucking awesome like that time it blew up that Condé Nast executive for being a closet gay with a wife and family. That was some good relevant journalism 

I did computer science in college and would again. I would supplement with an education in finance and the markets. That’s a golden ticket right there - trading software.

Glad you covered this. I saw it on the Epic store and was intrigued - hadn’t heard anything about it at all, but the trailer was distinctly dark-soulsish and it piqued my interest. Lots of good weapon types?

Honestly I am going to switch. Steam’s a good service but as a developer I know that cut makes a huge difference and I want to support developers. I’ve had a few fairly negative experiences as a developer on Steam

I had them at Joe’s. Went way out of my way on a two-day visit. It was fucking awesome.

Richard K. Morgan - Altered Carbon author - does some pretty good work here. Generally I find sex scene pretty shitty in books but it ain’t all bad

This advertising is just fundamentally false. Imagine how many people paid $200 for this - likely thousands. If anyone here has been duped by this, please drop me a line at dan@sellwoodlegal.com. I am strongly considering putting together a lawsuit on this.

I haven’t played it but you could see this shit coming 10 miles away. The problem with any shared online space is the conundrum that people will absolutely fuck it up if they have the ability to permanently affect it. There’s a reason you can’t go knock down Stormwind’s walls in WOW. It might be awesome if you could,…

Dredd was before its time. If they tried again I think it would make it.

Fame is a curse in almost any dosage. Some people really get off on it and that’s great for them, but I think that average people who somehow become famous are more often than not surprised and terrified by how fucking crazy people are on the internet. 

They probably needed to make some structural changes to address the hackability issues

I’ve never owned a bike before, and my wife will probably kill me if I buy one, but I’m really interested in this.
