in gaming journalism

Wow, you don't read much news I'm guessing. Any and all news publications love to use it as a 'catch-all' term for, "he showed them what for!"

It's a bogus word describing action that the news can't otherwise report, because calling it 'verbal slaughter' triggers people.

If modern journalism had any integrity left, they'd call Trump what he is: a wannabe Hitlerian dictator.

Any publication that tries to curb that, is likely in bed with the money piles the network was given by the accused.

There's not a single goddamn person on the planet that doesn't have some sort of bias, that's journalism 101.

That's crazy. Not even counting time spent on pirated versions of games, any game that I truly enjoy has at least 300hrs logged. I think my most played game is sitting at a little over 1100hrs because fuuuck am I a sucker for a game dev that respects and engages their players, but that's a different story to tell.

Only twenty?!?? Man I play NMS like I play Sims or Minecraft. I put 100hrs in, get bored and don't play for a while, when I come back there's been at least one or two updates and I'm easily able to put back in another hundred with new/revised content.

Not that it's a competition, I'm just surprised cause of how much time I put into things. (x_x)

Yar, har, fiddle-do-dee, all you gotta do, is sail the high sea!

It was a beat-em-up hack 'n' slash that played like an early Devil May Cry game. It was really fun, and included everything that was Deadpool at the time (he was borderline schizo during the comics at this time, and the game included both of the "other voices" in his head as a pseudo-narrator kinda thing).

Honestly a really fun game, I pirated it when it came out and now that it doesn't exist anywhere except the high seas, I regret not paying for it then. To be fair though, it had little replayability, just the, "once every few years" kind. Still a fun game though.

Bruh, it's a meme. Use a Britta to filter the piss out of your cornflakes and grow a sense of humor

Social standards are not the benign excuse you think they are. If someone ever hits you, you hit back. If that's how they think you learn, then make them learn that getting hit hurts, and show them why they shouldn't be hitting.

Letting someone hit you just cause "it's normal" is called Stockholm Syndrome, and is objectively worse than being the one that's doing the hurting, because it teaches other people that hurting others is okay.

If you saw an adult, hitting and dragging away a child who's fighting back with all their might at a grocery store, there's 2 things that could be happening. A.) just a parent "disciplining" their kid, or B.) a literal kidnapping is taking place.

In your (clearly more informed) mind, it would always be scenario A, and you wouldn't even think twice about the possibility of scenario B, "because that's the social norm," according to you.

I'll say it one more time: IF YOU THROW HANDS, EXPECT TO CATCH HANDS, NO MATTER YOUR AGE, GENDER, OR FUCK ALL.

Who said anything about a nursing home? I thought we were talking about throwing punches? Cause as I said, as each party ages, they both learn who hits harder.

Any old person that acts like they can't catch hands, is literally asking for some to be thrown.

If you're 20yo still taking abuse from someone three times your age, you're not fighting hard enough for your own rights.

I hope to any and every god that may exist, that kid gets close enough to Erdogan one day, to return the favor tenfold.

That's a very black-and-white way of looking at it. As children grow older, so too do their elders. Eventually the power balance (so to speak) shifts, and both the child and the elder learn who can hit harder.

Or, hear me out, he grows up resentful of all who lord their undeserved power over him, like billions of other children already do?

Even the non political .ml communities are full of power-tripping, ban-happy, thread-nuking tyrants in my experience.
