Probability how does it work.

This is the only take worth a damn.

CNN tho so go fuck a duck.

Troll level: god tier

Bold strategy blah blah blah

Fewer people voted Democrat in 2016 compared to 2012 but drawing a line backwards from that to Obama not jocking Midwest OWS protests is weird.

How is this anything other than speculative correlation without causation? 60K fewer people voted Democrat in 2016 compared to 2012, and 2M more people voted Republican, assuming I’m remembering things right. Where is the causal relationship between Obama not making an appearance in Rust Belt OWS protests and the 2016 Presedential election?

Huh?

I don’t know that anyone is “the best” since “open world” is such a broad cetagory. R* makes really detailed, visually interesting worlds, and then generally populates them with very little of interest to do. Their characters are largely forgettable, as are their stories. Ubisoft gets a lot of crap for their checklist approach, but R* does the same stuff, even if the execution is different. I also think they have some issues with giving the player the freedom to derp all over the world but have the story and characters completely ignore that. Seems like RDR2 might be an attempt to change that, so I’m cautiously optimistic in that regard. Bethesda gives you the most shit to actually do, but most of their games are just enormous piles of jank that the community has to fix. And have they gotten worse at telling stories? Fallout 4 sure makes me think they have. A modded Bethesda game is still a delight, but what you get out of the box feels like it gets a little less focused and special each time, which is disappointing. CDPR probably has the best implementation between player action and story outcome in Wild Hunt of any of the open world games. Your actions with Ciri matter in interesting ways, much more so than other games with a narrative focus. But it probably also has the least “variety” in this class which is good and bad. You know most of what you’re going to find is monsters and loot, which gets repetitive, but you also know it’s going to be of higher quality than most other open world games. Some of the big quests in Wild Hunt are more interesting and better written than every one of R*’s individual games. Avalanche makes the best sandboxes with Just Cause. Volition just cranks everything up to 11 and makes some really amusing, stupid shit. They’re much more overtly “fun” than most of the other games in this category. Sucker Punch flirts with greatness from time to time, and their open world games have moments but they’re not consistently great. And as other people have said... Nintendo warrants being included here just for Breath of the Wild alone. It’s one of the best open world games ever, and if they can make a couple quality of life improvements for the sequel... man.

Indeed.

Shut your shit gobbling pie hole and watch Legends of Tomorrow.

Bitches wouldn't be harassed so fucking much if they knew how to control mid lane.

Blame the lesbians and the Jews. Classic because it works.

Roman Polanski got kicked out of the Academy 3 months ago for raping a girl in 1977, and last year he was picked to chair the committee (possibly the wrong terms, whatever) for the French equivalent of the Oscars, so I don’t know that we’re quite at the point where the industry itself agrees that people should be contemporaneously held accountable for their actions. Or again, we’ve got network executives responding to interview questions about Louis CK talking about how they’re missed. So “we” might agree, but people in positions of power clearly do not.

Maybe it should be. @SFLUFAN should we come up with a membership structure, referral program, and dues?

I thought The Rock was a Republican?

I agree the CK to Gunn comparison was not especially good, I was just rolling at the time and mashed post. That said, for my devil’s advocate rant... I’m not saying people that fuck up should never work again, ever. That’s not rational or reasonable. I don’t really know what to do about it. To keep it with Gunn for a second, the remarks and behavior were stupid but I wouldn’t expect him to be blackballed, and I think his firing in of itself was probably a reach. So he gets sacked from GotG which sucks, since I liked those movies, but Marvel has this down to a science and GotG3 will be fine. Gunn will be fine. With someone like CK... I suppose I cannot begrudge him specifically for going back out and doing what he loves and knows even if I wish he’d stay out of the public eye forever. I can, however, give shit to someone like that FX guy I mentioned who “miss” Louie and his show. That’s what I meant when I said he’s not THAT special. NOBODY should be special enough for someone else in a position of power to “miss” someone who copped to multiple instances of sexual harassment. I don’t want Louie to die in a fire or never hold another job again. But I think that holding powerful people accountable for egregious abuses of power like what Louie did is absolutely “worth” a lack of “redemption,” for him, whatever that means. Again I wouldn’t want that to legally enforceable or anything, I just... wish he went away forever. I also think we need to be clear about what a “mistake” is. What Louie did isn’t a “mistake.” He was a borderline or straight up serial sexual harasser. One doesn’t do that “mistakenly.” I’ve said stupid things to women. I’m not expecting anyone to be perfect. Anyway I’m unfocused and rambling. I don’t even know what I want, I just get bummed out that there are dudes in power out there willing to go out on a limb to talk about them missing someone who has been “gone” for what feels like 15 minutes.

Oh lord.

But some of the framers were just pretty fucking smart lawyer guys so... fuck you? I’ve got nothing.

What are you talking about? People absolutely push for more Indian, Hispanic, Asian, and Arab representation in movies.

I honestly don’t know what a qualified presidential candidate looks like other than someone who was the governor of a state.

I didn’t mean he’s not particularly special, again, he’s an incredible comedian. I meant that he’s not so special as to warrant “redemption” or a “comeback” from his behavior. I don’t even know what that means. He sexually harassed a bunch of women. How does one “come back” from that? A shitty apology and a rad comedy special? Fuck that and fuck him. He’s slime. I don’t know how else to say it. I want to see the death of a culture that tolerates sexual harassment and the gross application of patriarchal power. The least I can do is not give fuckwads like him attention (other than calling him out on his shit) and beyond that, money or views. I loved his comedy but I’m done with him.

I've done ITT what I can to right the rep wrongs.

Here's a post I made a month or so back about Blades in the Dark.

Agreed. He whipped it out and beat off in front of multiple women. What else would you call it?
