This was either from April or early December. In either case, I’ve never heard this repeated anywhere else since.

She seems to be making some sort of statement, and that certainly can’t be allowed.

Eeeeh, I dunno about that. If he had been an ass man, people wouldn’t have started making fun of people who like ass. They would have just continued making fun of how much he inserts ass into his movies.

I think even without association with Tarantino, first encounters with foot fetishism would be met with heavy skepticism/suspicion.

So maybe someone just saw the couch-double making love to her couch-wife in JD cosplay?

We all owe JDerika Vank an apology.

Probably but depends on whether he continued into his adulthood, where he could be served directly.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, every country that is a world power now is looking down from a mountain of ravaged bodies.

America is only the latest, and doing so in an era where the victims can livestream back the atrocities committed in the name of the country’s “empire”.

Throughout history? Whose?

The USA’s international opinion has been on the downtrend for like 20 years, with its precipitous drop like 10 years ago.

It’s not the '90s anymore; the only people pushing American exceptionalism are ignoramuses and jingoists who will do that regardless of any facts, not normal citizens.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wreckreation maker Three Fields Entertainment puts whole studio on redundancy notice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
You also didn’t hear about it because it’s not great. I watched a stream of it: the gameplay looks uninspired, like a student project to mimic Burnout, and the visuals would have looked dated in 2010.

But it was functional. So it’s neither good nor bad enough to rave about. You just say “huh”, flip a coin, and either uninstall forever or play every 7 months when you remember it’s on your hard drive.

Unless the kid was planning on a single shot per partner, he would need more than 3 condoms. Pharmacist should have warned him smh, lost business opportunity.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

You are in essence gatekeeping enjoying a video game as a concept. Like people must enjoy them the way you envision.

What an incredibly inaccurate statement. I love modding video games, I spend more time modding video games than I spend playing video games. I understand that the vision developers have doesn’t often align with what I want from their product.

I don’t agree that developers should be spending dev cycles making a game functional for a user that turns off any configuration of gameplay mechanics.

Saying you can just set a variable from “true to false” is so laughably misunderstanding what goes into software development much less game development that it sounds entitled. What gameplay mechanics are you even saying should be configurable? All of them? Just turn off the combat in a fighting game? At what point is a gameplay mechanic integral to the genre/experience? And who is the person or persons that decide?

Developers should be free to create what they want, and the end user is free to mod it however they want. That includes, for the devs, not purposefully obfuscating things so that modding is more diffcult.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I disagree because it solely approaches games as some sort of “electronic commodity” and outright despises a development group’s artistry.

Sure, not every game is trying to be art. But games have long gone beyond the realm of simply “entertain me”. That opinion is like saying “books should be made in a way that allows users to change the story whenever and however they want.” It is something you can do but there’s no imperative to cater to it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I’m confused why you’re confused? Their position is just don’t vet the games. That’s what they’re saying. It doesn’t presume some “magical way to tell the difference”. You just don’t check the games.

Now, this part is just my interpretation, but I believe they’re operating on a “caveat emptor” methodology. They shouldn’t let malware through obviously, but they might believe it’s on the purchaser to not buy games that look like slop.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
But the context of the Game of Throne quote is diminishing.

It might seem like I’m trying to make you out as a bad person; I apologize because that’s not my intention. That comment was just the latest one I saw using it and it stood out even more because I didn’t get the sense that you were trying to be rude.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Beyond how dreadfully overused it’s become, I think people should acknowledge how explicitly patronizing the phrase “you sweet summer child” is. If you’re not actively trying to demean someone, it’s strange to essentially tell someone “it’s cute how naive you are.” If you were trying to demean the other person, then that’s a different issue but I’m assuming you aren’t that type of person.

I decided to leave a comment instead of passively downvoting.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine is huge for indie development⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think we should see what it’s priced at before we start making proclamations about the Steam Machine being the “standard gaming PC”.

Yeah, I don’t know why this would translate to mental illness?

I wasn’t talking about people.

I’m talking about me.

I don’t want needles (or any sharp objects) close to my genitals.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Is the syringe in the dong? Because that’s a beeg no for me. I’m not squeamish around needles but am squeamish about the dong and dings.

I’ve seen a number of comments coming in defense of the mother but I didn’t read the OP as a critique in the first place.

The caption is just a funny “rationalization” for the scenario we’re seeing.

First reaction: fear.

Second: I chuckled. Because I thought of some VP-level enforcing this joke as SOP.

And then a little more fear, as a treat.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’d believe them if they said they tested small- scale locally. Even good software/designs can implode when they get scaled up, and I doubt this was good design or software.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s what it seems. I try not to write everyone off immediately and gave them space to explain themself because some people’s brains are a mass of wet noodles that don’t do logic good.

I’ve gotten release copies of games for review. Unless they have another secret tier of pressers, this is nonsense. If anything, review copies are more likely to have bugs that making completing the game harder.
