I hadn’t seen them before, so for a few Christmases, my partner and I watched The Lord of the Rings movies because any movie with an elf counts as a Christmas movie.

There’s on improv puppet troupe that does Die Hard as a musical and combines it with A Christmas Carol. It’s great.

Good thing he’s not a giant corporation.
Does he think Wolfenstein needs to be told from the other side?
- Comment on The world is ending but here's a side quest - will RPGs ever solve their urgency problem? 4 weeks ago:
It works in Morrowind. When you go to do the main quest, the guy in Balmora says you look like a scrub and to come back when you’re not so green. Oblivion immediately tells you to take the amulet somewhere. Skyrim requires main quest progression for a few things like the civil war.

It’s not the games they’re talking about.

It’s a real problem. I’ve seen forum posts calling for the extermination of minorities.

doses normally consumed
So we can just put an much caffeine into a person as we want because it’s ok in normal dosages? That’s wrong. Your analogy sucks. You can’t discount danger because of normal conditions. Tsunamis weren’t normal for Fukushima. Do you understand?
Do we get to ignore things that get labeled irresponsible? Plus, if there’s been a hundred incidents, that pretty much says we aren’t and cannot be responsible enough to prevent them.
Your points aren’t worth arguing further. I will not be engaging anymore. Feel free to continue to think that your analogies are clever; I will not.

You’re apparently unfamiliar with the concept of the open letter or writing to a specific person instead of just spewing garbage out a general agency. It’s not uncommon.
The Hinduism excuse really doesn’t fly most of the time, especially when we’re talking about hate speech. It’s pedantic and weaselly and does not pass the smell test.
Unsafe could mean, for an examples I have seen on steam forums, that minorities get harassed or told they should be exterminated. Just like Nazis should be scared to be in public IRL, they shouldn’t have safe spaces online either.
I know by your language you already have your mind made up and probably have a real strong opinion on ethics in gaming journalism, but extremism is a real problem.
I don’t really want to engage with people like you, so I won’t be responding further, but I didn’t really want to leave your bs unchallenged.

Should people also have the freedom of choice to buy snake oil that claims to cure cancer, etc? The opposite of freedom is not regulation. That’s a bunch of propaganda used by people when they want to change an inconvenient topic. It’s used, for example, when talking about the ACA and claiming that nationalized health insurance would rob the people of choosing their blood sucking middle man for health insurance.

Caffeine is dangerous and can kill humans in large doses AND meth exists. It’s not one or the other, genius. Please mainline some caffeine to prove your point. Meth exists, you’ll be fine.

Who’s pretending they’re safe? The only pretending I see in the meme is about nuclear. But if you want to argue with something I didn’t say, have at it I guess.

The alternative is not necessarily oil.

That’s not my point and I’m already aware.

One time? Wikipedia says over 100 serious incidents and lists about 30 of them. en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_and_…
It’s fine if you like nuclear, just don’t try and claim it was one time. It poses serious risk and should be treated as such.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Uplifting Games 1 month ago:
For uplifting, I like chill games where people are nice to each other.
Hades has you piece back together your family and has a lot of great dialog.
Carto is a cute puzzle game involving rearranging maps where you help people on your way back home.
Haven is a young couple trying to make it on an alien planet.
Children of Morta is a family fighting together against an apocalypse.
Dreamscaper is a rogue lite where you get mechanically stronger through self care as you work your way through trauma by hitting it in your dreams.
Ni no Kuni 1 and 2 are longer jrpgs in a Studio Ghibli style world.
Grandia is another jrpg that does a good job at capturing an adventurous spirit.

If you use magic on it, it turns all smooth and becomes immune to further magic attacks. If you use weapons on it, it gets hairy or over and is immune to weapon attacks. If you use magic weapons, you’re really screwed.
