    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Also, the email that Fran Townsend allegedly sent that kicked this whole thing off? The one that even Kotick decried as "tone-deaf"? Turns out he was the one who actually wrote it, and sent it from her address. She'd only been working there for a few months at the time. At this point I'm...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I'd worry more about the near-certainty that he's being sent away because he has extremely important information relevant to the January 6 investigation and Trump doesn't want him getting subpoenaed. Anyone know what Kosovo's extradition policy is like?

    P&R Funnies!

    Or like Gabe Newell delaying Half-Life 3 every time someone complains about it not being out.

    Skyrim! Because all the really good stuff never actually leaves.

    I remember all the post-release hype, and adding it to my wishlist... but then deciding to buy and play Morrowind and Oblivion first since they were on sale super-cheap. I... still never got around to playing either of those. Though I was recently inspired to read through Prequel and it did such...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Actually this brings up a good question: Does any other non-fascist country even have a pledge of allegiance, or have we found yet another way that the US is uniquely awful?

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Which just ties into what I've been saying for years: Every Republican who has "resigned in protest" of the far-right's actions instead of stubbornly sticking around until they're voted out has been playing right into their hands.

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    One of these days I really do need to get a Blu-Ray drive and rip some movies for exploitable clips, but for now just imagine that I replied to this with a GIF of Woody saying "I would love to see you try. 'Course I'd love to see you as a crater."

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    The irony is that Trump personally signed off on the US-produced vaccines and even told people at his own rally to get them, and got booed for it. He's definitely a "messiah" in the sense that people have a completely misguided idea of what he actually is, and probably won't hesitate to crucify...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Really the problem was that we botched Reconstruction in every conceivable way. The deep south never really recovered economically AND the former slaves never got what was owed them ("forty acres and a mule" and all that). All because Lincoln decided to "reach across the aisle" and make his...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    I want to say "when even Newsmax fires you for being too nutty", but also Tucker Carlson totally could have said that on the air and gotten away with it and I'm not ready to say it's because Fox News's journalistic standards are even lower than their off-brand imitators. It's more a matter of...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    The members they replaced should chain themselves to their desks and refuse to leave. Allowing them to take office is a violation of the 14th Amendment. And, ironically, if there's some kind of certification process similar to what Congress was doing on January 6 to make Biden the official...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    You say that as if the outcome of the investigation could possibly result in us winning. If anything it would likely have the opposite effect by making Trump into a martyr. I want to see Trump locked up because it's morally the right thing to do, not because I think it'll actually make anything...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    The best system of government: quantum democracy. Everybody votes on how they want things to work, the next day everyone wakes up in the reality where their side won.

    The games you can't play anymore.

    That's the idea. It's not about forcing people to buy the game on a worse storefront, it's about discouraging people from buying it period, so that Bethesda has no choice but to get their jive together if they want to actually sell it.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Expulsion won't happen because nearly half of the people whose votes would be needed are in on it. But it absolutely must be pushed for anyway by the other half. The entire Republican Party are literally accessories to treason at best, and this needs to be the official narrative of the Democrats...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Every last one of those people needs to be sat down, put under oath, and asked two questions: "Was that a promise you actually believed you could deliver on? And if so, why?" Because either (A) the promise was complete bullshit, (B) they were expecting Trump to pardon them before they even had...

    The games you can't play anymore.

    That said, the forums are currently full of people saying that the patch made it even worse, because of course it did. Valve should have delisted this piece of jive long ago, and blacklisted Bethesda from publishing new games on their platform until they got their jive together.

    The games you can't play anymore.

    I love that it took Microsoft, the company that made Games for Windows Live, buying out the game's publisher to finally make that happen. I think it was literally the last game on Steam to not have gotten around to patching it out. Bethesda's management really is a dumpster fire, and I hope...

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    "Quebexit" doesn't quite fit; it sounds like what they're aiming for is something more akin to where the UK was before Brexit: all the benefits of belonging to the federation on top of having no responsibilities to it.
