And now for something different, Ree's "verified" "insiders" who kept talking about SH reboot getting possibly revealed during the PS5 event are now scrambling for excuses, including gems like this:https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1/status/1272550523586011136

Okay.

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.

"Cup with a cop"?!(Image removed from quote.)
80's Stern yes. Modern Rogen glorifies neo-nazis and thinks the alt-right just have "different ideas", bringing known white nationalists and transphobes on his show to let them speak their mind freely.
I've been thinking about it all afternoon. This morning, I'd happened upon and read through the comments section of Digital Foundtry's Ion Fury video, so I was feeling pretty down about stuff, but this game brought me right back, showing that amazing things are always possible when it comes to games, and (b) this place is full of lots of great, helpful people.
User banned (3 weeks): Thread derailment, white male fragility over multiple posts, inflammatory comparisons concerning racismYour negative action is saying all white men are like this.Thats like saying just assume all black men are criminals because we have so many of them locked up.Disgusting.

“It can’t be done overnight. The idea is to go slow,” Barnes said of the work, calling his program “a blueprint for how we can work with police.”Santa Clarita, however, does not have a police department. The city, where the foundation is based, contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and a spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that it has never heard of Barnes or his organization. Santa Clarita's city manager was also not aware the foundation existed.

Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl ... these people are furries, FYI
QuoteBatman is a trust-fund billionaire furry who gets his jollies committing wanton extra-judicial brutality on Juggalos and the mentally handicapped.He is the most American hero.True. He could not have been born with more privilege, yet lives his life with a victim mentality. His grief trumps all others grief.Ironically we as fans then celebrate Batman for being "self made" and "human" compared to Superman or Marvel heroes who have powers innately. Batman was born on third and we pretend he hit a triple. That Batman is the most popular superhero is also revealing about our culture. His power comes from white privilege, and terrorizing the underclass with his advantages, motivated by his individual grief and applying it to a social group he has dehumanized into being "criminals" and "thugs" and the "criminally insane."Same reason every NBA team has to have two white guys. Otherwise White America has a difficult time respecting "freak talent" — the reality that Black American bodies have dominated White American bodies in every meritocratic application (sports). Superman is unrelatable, but Batman isn't. We can't imagine being born with power and using it for good -- but that's LeBron James, right? But we can relate to Batman, a guy who spends all his time raging on his computer and solving conspiracy theories about whose rule-breaking ass needs to get kicked. Because one time someone was mean to his dad. (lol).Elon Musk is essentially who Batman would be in real life, unfortunately. Self absorbed with a lot of fanatic bootlickers cheering on his libertarian values to their own detriment.Re: furries in generalThis is easy. Live and let live. I can also understand it, even if it's not something I can imagine myself ever participating in. I get it, I think. Being human sucks. Who hasn't wished they could be something other than human? Again -- this is why Batman is popular, too. Taps into a primal empathic connection with animals -- recognizing they are Life as we are, merely in different form -- and imagining a way in which we might be the same in physical form.
