US Elections 2016
I'm not going to vote for Clinton either, but a vote for Trump seems pretty insane.

I miss Bob Dole.

US Elections 2016
The Trump stuff, while entertaining, is starting to be worrying. Is this really going to be the candidate of a major political party? He's basically running opposite of everything Ronald Reagan stood for, which is odd considering Reagan is looked at so fondly by the Republican party. He genuinely seems to dislike the country. He praises the blind loyalty of his voters like that is somehow a good thing.

What's on the idiot box?
I've recently become a fan of the show Psych. I'm a bit late to the party, but it's a fun watch and my daughter is enjoying them with me.

The Kickstarter Thread
I think I own that game, kickstarted it back in the day. I may have played about 20 minutes of it one time. edit: Checked, it was Planet Explorers. Which seems somewhat similar.

US Elections 2016
Oh, I know the name, I was with my family at the pier just days before she was shot. However I'm much quicker to blame a terrible mental health care system than our porous border. This wasn't a criminal mastermind, he was a crazy person who didn't get the help he needed in either country. He always was deported, multiple times, so it would seem that the INS was actually doing their job in this case. That aside, my comment on diversity was actually about Bill Gates, capacity, and the refugee situation. Which has little to do with illegal immigration. Also, I think it is fair to point out that you live in a wide open space and I live in a community of field workers with questionable immigration status. I've helped our babysitter get citizenship, for goodness sake. They aren't all criminals, anymore than we all are criminals.

I don't know man, the people I see complaining about immigration the most tend to live in wide open spaces surrounded by mostly white people. Typically living among a diverse community makes it harder to be against diversity.

The Last (Court) Battle of GamerGate: Feminists Lost, Free Speech Won
If the investors are happy with the product, how does that harm crowdfunding? You are also making a judgement about being shortchanged. That is your opinion, one that does not seem to be shared by those willing to invest in Sarkeesian. You can make that same argument for Obsidian. Would it not bother you if a bunch of people complained about PoE being too old school and story based? You are clearly not her audience, so why should your opinion matter when it comes to crowdfunding. I am not her audience either, I wouldnt waste my time or money on such stuff, but as a business strategy I see nothing wrong with her approach, and actually admire her success. People make money off stupid stuff all the time. There is no fraud here.

The Last (Court) Battle of GamerGate: Feminists Lost, Free Speech Won
I've never understood why people who clearly disagree with Sarkeesian, probably don't watch her videos, and definitely did not pledge her kickstarter always try and make this argument. Judging by her kickstarter page, there are 12 videos up with 3 hours and 40 minutes of content. She has produced plenty of content. She made a pretty penny doing so. There is nothing wrong with that, it is capitalism at work. Looking at the comments from backers, it looks like quite a few of them are happy. The idea that her initial outline doesn't match up with what you feel was delivered is inconsequential, because that is generally accepted as the risk you run in any crowdfunding project.

Torment: Tides of Numero Uno
Yeah, Wasteland 2 taught me to stay away from the betas. The finished product was way better.

The Rape of Europe
But it sounds so much more sensational when you say "The Swedish State is funding sniper training for future terrorists."

I wouldn't put pineapple next to pepperoni as a staple, but I would say it can hold its own against things like olives. edit: I specifically said Hawaiian is up there with Pepperoni AND OLIVES. Clearly we need a serious analysis of these conflicting sales numbers!
