    This is How You Fix RPG Sidequests

    Completely agreed, have some respect for my time and the achievements of my character. There's no reason a king hero who has slain the greatest demons of hell should feel obligated to run around fetching cats from trees. If you want me to have a low level view of your gameworld give me a...

    Sony Refund Policy Criticized Following No Man's Sky Launch

    How is it not sustainable to have the majority of sales come after there is time for people to evaluate your product? I don't take time out of my day to make sure I get a new vacuum cleaner the day it's released, or a stove, an air conditioner, presumably all of these things have some ROI...

    Basement Dweller

    Which they pretty much have as much as men do. When you account for education, hours worked, career choices, experience, and the fact that men are more likely to want to negotiate (and plenty of men don't negotiate or suck at negotiating too) the pay gap shrinks into nothing. This is why...

    Blizzard Explains Why It Gives "Bad Cards" To New Hearthstone Players

    His argument only works for the complexity of cards, not the power level. It's a steaming load of bullshit that it's some task to learn the game mechanics that you need to be slowly eased into and even with that incredibly stupid premise it still doesn't justify that there are cards that are...

    Preparation

    It being fallout as opposed to any other the point is to get set up with a catheter and IV , which make it so you can stay in one place for a really long time, she basically never needs to pull herself away from it. It's not about being braindead it's about being immobile.

    8 Bit Philosophy: Is Gender Real?

    Because it's an assessment of an aspect of the body not a decision to alter it. Also, the doctor's decision does not attach social meaning, the doctor really doesn't care if you throw your daughter in a pink dress and tell her to get rescued by a handsome prince. But sorry, there is a good...

    8 Bit Philosophy: Is Gender Real?

    The decision of whether or not they have lobed or unlobed ears is not arbitrary though. The doctor's decision is by no means arbitrary, the importance placed on it may be but penises and vaginas are functionally different, it's not some nonexistent difference. If you look at someone with hair...

    8 Bit Philosophy: Is Gender Real?

    I hope I'm missing some context that makes it clear you're talking about people with deformed genitals or something, not that the decision is arbitrary in the average birth and that fringe cases where someone doesn't fit into a certain sex make sex not exist.

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    Personally would call that analogous to sociopathy, not normal parenting if you think that how other people are effected is not a consideration in your decision making. Like, jesus christ, how can you make that claim? When you make decisions that negatively effect random people you don't take...

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    The only practical difference is that the number of "manhours" is lowered when people leave so if you have more afk's the number changes I don't think multiplayer competitive games are ever about escapism, they're about testing your skill against other players and normally you're looking for a...

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    You're free to stay on topic instead of jumping on everything I say that you disagree with to try and discredit me. Although even when you only write 3 sentences there's a gigantic misrepresentation of my position, I said someone wasted 4.5 hours of my time because for 30 minutes the trash...

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    It's four and a half fucking hours man, because someone else did something entirely insignificant 30 minutes late. Yes, if you show disrespect to me to that fucking level, as a total fucking stranger: I do not give a shit about your property or a punch that you'll in all likelihood be fine an...

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    It's not about the four hours it's about the principle of you deciding that my time is so worthless that you'd waste 4 hours of it knowingly for such a petty reason. Although if you think that statement is entirely serious and not entirely hyperbolic I don't know how you survive on the internet...

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    If you would have dinner if your brother was over a friend's house or something similar that is equally frivolous and would result in him missing dinner: I don't know how you can blame your brother and not your parents. No one is forgetting the family is real people, that's a strawman. A kid...

    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    What is your point? You are literally just describing the way the world is in ways everyone knows. The writer of the letter knows that kids stealth join games right before dinner and bed, that's why he specifically said if he did that punish him after. Did the letter bring up the e-sports...
