Probably because it would all just be an expensive coat of paint on the same game they've been playing since the mid-'90s and have gotten thoroughly tired of, even if they can't bring themselves to admit it. Something I realized recently is that the only reason "retro revival" games do so well...

Not to mention that if a state ever secedes from the US, it's because we're letting them, and the only reason we would do that is if we hate them so much we want to be rid of them. In which case there probably won't ever be any treaties or trade agreements. They made their bed, they can die in...

And really, it's probably a good thing in general that they're not just trying to make a Pokémon game in all but name, because one of the things people have complained the hardest about with the actual Pokémon games is how formulaic they are. I have no idea what people actually want out of a...

I think Nintendo knows where to draw the line. No matter how air-tight of a case this may technically be, taking action against this game in particular is going to be an incredibly bad look. Everyone's going to say that they're trying to shut down the first game to actually be successful in the...

Only more than half? I would have figured it was more like...all.

Who even needs the Purge when they can just officially brand undesirables as subhuman and declare a permanent open season on them?

At a certain point, a lot of our anti-capitalist ambitions are impossible without officially enshrining into law that rich people are second-class citizens and can be denied some of the rights that the government otherwise takes great pains to uphold, on the grounds that they can do a lot more...

So? I can hate everything at the same time. I don't have to make exceptions for whoever's deciding to be the least evil this week.

Wait I thought the judge said he wasn't allowed to ditch to go to that funeral.

Kept in check by whom? Whoever we put in charge of that is just going to become as corrupt as everyone else.

You don't think? He's already gotten away with violating every single gag order he's ever been put under and ranting out of turn in court. We can keep pretending the judges aren't being either bribed or intimidated into letting him do whatever he wants, but I'll believe it when a verdict...

Gee, it's almost as if making universal mail-in voting permanent would have been a good idea that at least one of the two major parties should have bothered to propose.

There are probably a good dozen verbs they could have used that are more fitting than "shut down." I was actually hopeful for a moment.

And how quickly did Trump fire him?

Didn't someone already try to use it as an excuse to ban the Bible too? Did we ever get an update on that?

Haley and DeSantis are finding out the hard way that they can't market themselves as the successor to Trump while Trump is still alive and out of prison and able to run against them. (And you can bet that as long as he remains both of those things, he will keep running year after year.) But at...

Except, again, this time they won't have a sitting President on hand to order law enforcement to stand down. And for all my pessimism about cops and the military, if Biden orders the National Guard to start busting white heads, then white heads are going to get busted.

I mean, theoretically this is what the second amendment was for, but the founders of our country were being overly optimistic about what kind of people would resort to violence to solve their problems. Let's not make the same mistake.

I don't know what's more disgusting, that a Republican is openly saying "Of course we're making deals under the table; we aren't rich enough to stop being greedy!" or that AOC is agreeing with him.

I used to come back to BioShock and especially BioShock 2 over and over. Usually I'd come up with some kind of excuse, like "I want to adapt one of the levels into a Team Fortress 2 map so I need to get some inspiration" and "Ooh, they updated it so that it uses Steam instead of Games for...
