This game was developed by a multiplatform team of various faiths and console allegiances.

Like, buddy, you're writing this with all kinds of hindsight available. It's weird to blame the left and claim that voters chose this moment when pretty much every poll and conversation with voters shows that they overwhelmingly think that ICE has gone too far and is making us less safe.

Putting aside that immigration enforcement was already a priority for Obama and Biden, this reads like he's saying "if the left refuses to do this thing that is both morally repugnant and (as we now know) deeply unpopular across the entire political spectrum, it falls to the right to do it anyway."

I hate that this is how I find out...

You see, only leftists have agency, and so everything that happens is their fault, regardless of outcome.

I don't think that's correct? I think they are evil, and they think they can sycophant their way into Trump keeping famously fickle evil directed at someone else (probably a minority group) while hoping their performance will get them indulgences from the administration.

Mr. Takei, you have such a wonderful wealth of life experience to draw on and I love hearing your stories. You are an inspiration, and you had such fortune to be surrounded by other equally inspiring people. Thank you for passing these memories on to all of us.

A screenshot of a planet taken from the video game Mass Effect, with a text box describing the planet. The planet is named Klencory, and the description details the efforts of an eccentric Volus billionaire who insists that he received a vision from a higher being to seek mysterious and lost technology there. The description concludes by saying that because Klencory is a toxic, valueless world, no one has seen fit to evict the Volus billionaire, content to let him spend bis fortune on his Quixiotic quest.

You forgot the part where he described himself as a prisoner of war.

I feel like we should have learned our lesson from the last time a rich Belgian guy personally owned an entire country.

Obviously, music isn't real (for the purposes of sales charts).

Donuts as in the pastry or donuts as in the-thing-you-do-in-a-rental-car-at-3-am?

"For the love of God, Charlie Brown!"

"Yes," I said, "for the love of God!"

The devs of Killer Instinct had the same thing happen. They tried to be radically transparent in their balance decisions, but ultimately stopped because high-level players and their communities would focus more on influencing the devs than on the game. Ultimately, relying on data was more valuable.

Instead of blaming voters, maybe you should blame the party for running candidates that their own party members don't want to vote for?

His book "Why We're Polarized" would probably make for a good IBCK episode. It seems like Klein had one idea and is now so committed to it as part of his identity that he has become that Dril tweet about shrinking into a corncob.

I mean, I hope so.

I have an idea for an experiment: give me the $5 trillion, and I will let you know if it helps me at all.

I picked a great weekend to go to Carolina Beach.

And the UI doesn't make it clear that items have stack limits! The 9 bandages I had that *looked* like one stack of 9 in the quick menu were actually 3 stacks of 3 when I went into the inventory menu.

Oh huh, this must be where the guitar Haruhi Suzumiya uses in the anime came from. It's not a common guitar but the episode Live Alive aired in 2006 so it would have been a recent cultural reference.

Anyway anyone who would sell out the rights of a marginalized group just to get into office doesn't deserve to hold office.

No, Democrats need to take a stand and actually direct the conversation for once, rather than letting their opponents dominate the discussion and set the tone for the whole country. People don't just wake up and hate trans people; they look to their leaders and see what they're saying.

Definitely Tomb Raider. It has such a lonely, empty vibe. Being a young kid and playing that game, not very confident in my skills with guns or jumping... once you get into the first level, and it's dark and quiet, and then the T-Rex emerges from the shadows... I never progressed out of that room.

Yes, if you assume people are busy for 8 hours and asleep for 8 hours, and maybe factor in a couple hours for commuting or whatever... you might find that most people have about 6 hours of unstructured time in their day that they can use for leisure, among other things.

"I did it. I threw the sandwich." is the new "I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country."

I really adore how you can feel Rian Johnson's frustration with JJ Abrams coming out of the screen. TFA is a fine but derivative movie. TLJ is a carefully crafted rebuttal and is by far the more interesting of the two as a result.
