Regardless of what race or species mean in a scientific or academic setting, using the term "race" the way it's traditionally been used in fantasy settings just isn't justifiable anymore. Bioessentialism is lazy and bad in a vacuum and when you saddle it with the notion that many of the "classic" fantasy / D&D races are obvious stand ins for real world peoples, the only reason to keep using the term is because it's always been used and that isn't good enough. You shouldn't have your gold-hoarding, Semitic language using, large nosed dwarves be the way they are just because they're born that way.

The problem is this can't be fixed by changing how certain things are worded, it's built into the core of the fantasy genre and I've encountered very few properties that navigate these issues perfectly.

This is kind of a null argument since the way fantasy races work matches neither the common definition for race or species because, well, these are made up worlds that operate different from our own. 

It might be UE5 Fortnite. 

It's cool the Cavill is a giant nerd, but I can't help but feel like he's making a name for himself airing his dirty laundry with DC and the Witcher show.

This video goes right to the spot where he gets up with them to go on stage:

 

 

God watching that makes me so uncomfortable but at least the kid didn't interrupt them.

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. I think I played two armored core games and had a lot of fun with both, but even for the time the mission design was incredibly bland. From has obviously grown a shit ton since then, and it'll be cool to see what this game is like if they apply some of the lessons they've learned from making the souls games.

This game has been looking weirdly promising throughout development. It's kind of making me believe that Blizzard is still capable of making something worthwhile but time will tell.

Interesting list. Above is the director's vote list, which I personally prefer.

I will admit to not having seen the majority of these movies, but I find the degree of overlap between both lists interesting as well as the inclusion of Blue Velvet on both of them. I've always thought of it as one of Lynch's most approachable but also controversial movies, and I'm glad to see it on these lists as its my favorite of his films. Roger Ebert gave it an absolutely fantastic one star review.

Ok, this show is unintentionally hilarious.

I played on PC with the settings the game auto-detected... It was around Medium settings (I did go in and manually turn on FXAA and V-sync) and it ran well enough for me to hop in and play a round.

 

The only thing I had to scratch my head over was that there didn't seem to be any settings for a private match? I played with randoms which was fine for now but kind of annoying when they keep running ahead and leaving you behind to get mauled by a dog.

 

I did install the game to a HDD instead of the NVMe, which was probably a mistake lol

I instantly uninstalled from my HDD to my SSD. It feels like modern games are now designed around being installed on an SSD and I was getting multi-minute load times on my HDD. Performance has been pretty bad on my GTX 1080 system, but with custom config settings found on reddit I've managed to get it running smoothly and looking fine. Looks like it's about time to start looking at a new computer.

Game is fun though. I want a bolter.

I'd have to refund a lot fewer games on Steam if I just checked Game Pass first.

I still want to get into Disco Elysium. I don't know why I haven't.

It's one of those games that kind of looks like a chore before you play it. Lots of reading, no combat, etc. Yet somehow it manages to drip feed dopamine like an MMO through the skill checks and absurd dialogue options.

1. Life is Strange 

2. Kentucky Route Zero

3. The Witcher 3 

4. Disco Elysium 

5. Dooms 2016 and Eternal 

6. Outer Wilds 

7. Slay the Spire

8. Celeste 

9. Elden Ring

10. What Remains of Edith Finch 

I’m excluding competitive multiplayer games because I think they’re too different an experience to compare, but also Dota 2 and StarCraft 2 and Golf With Your Friends.

I installed Warzone 1 when it came out and uninstalled after one round due to terrible performance. 
 

As is tradition I did the same thing with Warzone 2.

Hm. Getting a lot of recent high profile Chinese game vibes, where the graphical fidelity is nice but all the gameplay and many of the animations look kinda jank.

These all strike me as gaming Potemkin villages.

So, is this a remake? 

This is the pinnacle of human achievement. 

Cuphead. I made it to the last boss and quit because I'd seen everything in the game.

Watched this the last few days. What a horrific situation. Even after watching and reading quite a bit, I find myself completely undecided on the central question of the ethics of administering the drugs. I think the show did a particularly good job of forcing the difficulty of landing somewhere on it by juxtaposing the clearly suffering people like Mrs. McManus and the simply difficult case of Mr. Everett.

I read the book and it seems crystal clear that what the staff at memorial did was both criminal and unethical but the people who should really be held accountable are those who made and reinforced the decision to de-prioritize evacuation of the critically ill (many of whom weren't even critically ill but just had a DNR status, which means next to nothing) more-so than the actual trigger men. The whole thing is a stain on the medical field and left me absolutely fuming. At several times while reading the book I thought about just putting it down because of how angry it made me.

I put the whole thing up there with the Milgram experiment, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and dare I say the Holocaust where previously normal people through diffusion of responsibility did horrible things because they were told that someone else had made the decision. There was no insurmountable obstacle to evacuating those patients but the decision was made early to de-prioritize their evacuation and everyone involved either failed to advocate for them or in some instances silenced those who tried. It was a terrible situation, but before things even began to get dire they had already started the process that led to murdering those patients.

That's gonna be a lol followed by an lmao from me.

Matumbaman really cemented his legacy.

Book readers, should I read the book?

I went through the ASOIF books while the show was still catching up to the source material and it didn't really reduce my enjoyment of the show, but I want to know if Fire and Blood is good.
