- Comment on Has Family Feud ever gone back and given someone an answer they got right? 1 week ago:
It’s a poll. If enough people respond with an unorthodox answer, it will be on the board. Awarding points outside of the poll goes entirely against the game.

Where did you get the idea that Family Feud rules have any leniency to allow giving out points for creative or unusual answers?

As in we need to stop it. It’s hard to read songs like O Green World and Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head in any other way.

Damon Albarn is a dick but he’s usually been more on the right side of things than not. Demon Days is straight up an anti-climate change album.

No I’m telling you that you should probably look up what backshots are.
Instead of, you know, rawdogging terms you read but didn’t look up.

- Comment on Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation 4 weeks ago:
They would have recouped faster if they had the foresight to publish the game on PC as well as PlayStation. Kojima Productions made money on Death Stranding pretty quick because the PC sales were very good. Sony only got it from PlayStation sales.

They were almost a monopoly, Xbox was circling the drain. Sony pulled the trigger too early.

No it isn’t, and you can’t name more because there’s no more of the ending of the first game in the second. The video I linked shows the hospital is still dingy and dirty throughout, and you’re coming back with a cropped screenshot.
- Comment on Video games 5 weeks ago:
Your idea of a retcon is that the hospital looks different in the sequel game in that tiny cutscene you see? It’s not even true, the hospital is still dirty and dingy.
You’re also claiming a character having a wishful opinion is a retcon.
There’s zero plot or story changes here too to even start making the assertion a retcon happened. How and why are you escalating to accusing the entire TLOU2 of being a fanfic because of two extremely minor things about the previous game, one of which isn’t even true.

I wouldn’t call it “Walking Dead” style. If anything, it wears its Cormac McCarthy influences on its sleeve. The story is intentionally dreary, miserable, uncomfortable, and emotionally draining. Kotaku’s review of the game was pretty on the money for a lot of people, it’s entirely possible to be so put off by the tone and story of the game because it’s so miserable.
The thing is that you play as Ellie and then as Abby to get both perspectives on the story. The entire message of the game is that revenge and unending conflict a downward spiral of self-destruction. Joel gets done dirty… but so does everyone. That’s the whole point of the game.

It was confirmed in Fire and Fury by Wolff that GamerGate was indeed Steve Gannon’s POC of MAGA.
- Comment on Feels Like 2016 Was When It Started 5 weeks ago:
Reviews and editorials never described as “gaming journalism” before GamerGate. The fact that Gamergate successfully convinced everyone that editorials and reviews can be called “journalism”, even people who opposed Gamergate, was their biggest victory.
GamerGate was a Steve Bannon POC for MAGA and it wasted no time in setting the stage for Lügenpresse by inappropriately using the term to describe opinion pieces they knew they could get angry young men to get outraged over to start getting people used to the idea of demeaning journalism as a whole. “MSM” was just the MAGA version of “gaming journalism”, but more refined since they realized with their POC that demeaning all “journalism” meant that any that they tried to spin up never got any traction because it was also “journalism”.
- Comment on Despite Steam's concerning domination over the market, one of the things that I love about it is... 1 month ago:
Gamergate was literally a proof of concept for MAGA because gamers are everything these groups want from a potential recruit. Just point them at a boogeyman and they’ll go apeshit.

The thing about comics is that many of them have been going on for so long, for so many different generations and audiences, that they actually handle all kinds of different perspectives depending on which stories you look at. A common theme for a long time is actually contrasting Superman against the Ubermensch idea from Nietsche and the Nazi’s bastardized version of it, which is what led to things like Homelander (and Stormfront) in the Boys. There have always been many different perspectives on Superman, his powers, and his morality. The morality of WW2-era Superman is pretty different from Silver Age is pretty different from DCAU is pretty different from Snyder’s Superman, etc.
There are quite a few books about the philosophy of Superman out there. You can start with Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do?, which is a compilation of academic essays analyzing Superman’s morality.
- Comment on Hopeposting 1 month ago:
If only there were decades worth of stories where Superman’s morality was defined and expanded upon to provide a reasonable template that lends to genuine analysis even in academic and philosophical studies.
