It's Time To Stop Giving Xbox Boss Phil Spencer A Pass (Opinion)
  • Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

    Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

    Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to repeat it for others.

    The "idiot" comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

  • Older patient gamers: what is your preferred gaming platform?
  • Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

    Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

  • Japan high court rules same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional
  • The article has a paragraph later on that says:

    In rejecting the plaintiffs' claims for damages, the court said, "It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet...regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution."

    I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.

  • Jamie Raskin Accuses Trump Attorney Habba of Thinking Like a 'New York Mobster'
  • This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.

    Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.

    It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.

  • Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
  • Way too harsh there.

    What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem?

    Your earlier comment was not "what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?" If it was meant to mean that, I don't understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player's, or the character's?

    The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.

  • Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
  • I just got here, but I'd guess it's because their comment reads like they are saying "no, facists aren't the bad guys, both sides show contempt for the weak sometimes!" It's a false balance fallacy.

    I'm not sure if that was the intention, or it was just unfortunately worded.
