Mike hanging with Doug TenNapel and sharing a podcast with him is enough for me. Fuck anyone that would endorse or co-sign that dude.I don't know what I'm saying. I'm devastated. Scrapping my RiffTrax stuff and shelving my Mike MST3K dvds for a while.Fuck.never have heroes

Before he destroyed his career, didn’t Louis CK have a bit that was more or less exactly this? I remember hearing it and being pretty sickened by it. I would bet money that Doug heard that specific bit and took it as direct justification.Edit: this (I’ve hidden behind spoiler because it’s frankly nauseating):spoiler (click to show/hide)[close]
Riff Trax is RARELY politically opinionated. Once in a while, though, they poke fun at something political, but it almost always taking a shot at conservatives.This is such a perfect example of the REE slactivist mindset.

Are we expecting Media Company execs to understand the context and intention behind the blackface?If you're going pull it, pull it all. Fuck it.
QuoteI think the reason they pulled that episode out is that UK is incapable of understanding nuances and context of America contemporary joke in It’s Always Sunny in Philly. Therefore, to prevent misunderstandings and people following during holloween in UK, dressing up as Mac playing a blackface character.Two different set of culture.Not going to argue whether it is right or wrong, just saying that, UK doesn’t have the history of blackface as US.Oh yes, please help us understand the concept of irony in comedy Mr American.

The term “BIPOC” is used to acknowledge that not all people of color (“POC”) face an equal level of injustice. Specifically naming Black and Indigenous people signifies that Black and Indigenous populations are the ones who’ve suffered the most under white supremacy, imperialism, colonialism, classism, racial injustices and systemic oppression.

COMFIDENTIAL: My sources tell me that Nintendo is working on a new Super Mario game.
I just say this because I prefer to mock people that actually can’t back up their claims. I don’t like to sound like an idiot that is not aware of anything like RE.
Letting agent secretly living in my house?So yesterday we found out that our middle aged letting agent has been hiding in the small spare room of our terraced house for 2 days.He came over unannounced to ‘inspect’ the house as our landlords have decided to manage the property themselves. We assumed he’d left and saw the small spare room door was locked with the light left on, we don’t have keys for that room so couldn’t turn it off. I texted asking him to come and turn the light off and he admitted that he was here in the house!After we confronted him, he proceeded to lie and say ‘he’d informed us all that he was staying here for a few days’. None of us had any clue! He said he’s planning on living here on a permanent basis and has signed a contract and paid deposit etc etc. Our landlords are our neighbours and they said that’s not true....The landlords said they think he should leave and hand over his keys. Thankfully, he did. However, he’s locked the door to the spare room again and we suspect he has another set of keys...I got a ladder and looked through the window and all his stuff is still there; stale uncovered croissants, clothes, alcohol, grooming products and something that looks disturbingly like a fleshlight amongst the detritus.I’ve rung the council and the police non emergency number and it’s turning out to be a complex problem. It’s not a council house so it’s down to the landlords to act upon it. One other aspect is Covid-19; the sneaky bastard told us he travelled into London on public transport, when I probed him on it he couldn’t even tell me what precautions he took against the virus. We have all been careful and abided by the government guidelines and it’s scared everyone having this rando creep in the house!What can I do?
Put me out of my misery would be my greatest wish right now

All it takes is one person taking this the wrong way and saying, "If they can do it so can I." Netflix needed to remove it.

Is Gorsuch trying to shore up his legacy already by turning on Dump? I still feel like both he and Kavanaugh should be removed from the Supreme Court under the next presidency as they were both instated by an illegitimate criminal.
We like to pretend the SCOTUS is a hallowed body relying on the sum total of the legal history of the nation and ruling by historical precedent, but at the end of the day it's an old white dude looking up words in the dictionary and writing forum-shit-post level "just asking questions" dissents.Honestly, if someone wrote that on Era, they'd be banned. If someone wrote that in the NYT, the editor would be fired. And yet, college kids are going to spend the next century reading that dissent and asked to put more thought into deconstructing it than Alito put into constructing it.

NY Daily News hit it with an 8. They are on Metacritic. Score will likely fall to 95. The review is very shallow and only criticizes a lack of player agency over the story. There are no other criticisms or even insights. It almost feels like he didnt even finish the game.

I would actually consider it a role playing game, but one that the role has been predefinied by the story team at naughty dog, and you are literally an actor playing the role of ellie.
While his organization has existed for five years, Barnes has yet to launch any of the programs because it’s taken him a while to “outline a real plan of action.” One such idea is “have a cup with a cop” local meetings where residents would chat with police officers over coffee and donuts
I killed everyone i could in LoU's surgery room.In Splinter Cell Blacklist i was always going for lethal option.I usually kill everyone i'm allowed to in games, mainly just to exhaust player interaction. So i don't think LoU2 will be particularly traumatizing.

So i don't think LoU2 will be particularly traumatizing. Any stealth game that gives me the option and tools to do so I make a point of professional pride to go as ghost mode as possible with no alarms, no fatalities, and if possible nobody ever knowing I was there in the first place
Going by review footage, why does TLoU seemingly only have a stealth kill- but no knockout option like every other game? Once again ND forcing their hamfisted message with shitty limited gameplay.
and when it's about something that many women legitimately care about, it's a real bad look.
