“Remembering Prey”? The game is 7 years old, and has a release on current gen consoles. The nostalgia cycle is starting to spiral in on itself. Get ready for “Remember Baldurs Gate 3” next month.

If we want to talk about a game that is about ready for a nostalgic revival, featured unique gameplay for the time, told a story with interesting lore, and had the potential for interesting sequels, let’s remember Prey (2006). Also, it had a bus full of evil ghost kids on a spaceship. Can’t beat that.

You’re right. Let’s do nothing instead.

I dislike this take, as it dismisses the fact that some people are just selfish.

Sure, plenty of people have been persuaded into voting conservative because they are ill-informed, but I would wager that just as many know what the right stands for, but because conservatives cater their policy to older, wealthier groups, the older wealthier voters can ignore the rest.

Also homophobes and racists exist in all fields.

That glimmer of hope is the lure of the anglerfish, waiting to devour the naive millennial.

You’re right. With the numbers presented here, Israel is definitely acting worse right now.

These two groups of people are at war. One of them are using guerrilla terrorist tactics to kill civilians, and the other is using their political sway and superior firepower to commit genocide.

There is no “equally bad”, but if you support the eradication of either side, you are a horrible person in my eyes.

War crimes are being committed on both sides, but one side is in a far better political, economic, and defensive position. Treaties and councils have been written, but if the stronger party decides they want to break those agreements, and suffers no repercussions from doing so (so far as having essentially full support from the US government at one point), what can the smaller group do? Roll over and let their people be extinguished by a callous and racist government?

I do not condone attacks from either side, but saying that Palestine is “suffering the consequences”, while ignoring the actions that led to this attack (which could be seen as Israel suffering their own consequences) is short sighted and cruel.

I think the show is great and presents complex stories in simple ways. Assuming the creators of the show have a big hand in writing for the game, then I’d have confidence in this game.

The kids who need help might not associate Kutcher with the organisation, but donors and supporters sure as hell will.

At this point, he has written a letter of support, lauding the moral upstanding of a convicted rapist. Any way you slice it, it’s not a good look from a fundraising perspective. Why would I support the anti-sex trafficking group that has a rape apologist as it’s figurehead? The nuance of writing a letter to support a friend who has done terrible things is it’s own murky issue. But from a purely business standpoint, Kutcher is a liability for the moment.

Your example ignores the trajectory of the situation. If Kutcher had supported the rapist, received backlash, and joined the org, it would be an individual taking steps to make better choices. As it stands, he is this organisation to many people (I couldn’t name anyone else involved). His actions reflect directly on the org, and ignoring his actions is not a good look.

I understand that the 3DS and Vita are older handhelds, but it still doesn’t feel right to refer to them as ‘retro’ yet. Especially I’m the case of the 3DS, it was essentially the latest platform before the Switch.

I’m not staring down the barrel of my own aging mortality. YOU ARE!

That’s the thing. I wasn’t a knower. I live in Australia, and can recognise one person of the nine mugshots I’ve seen today. This is the first I’m hearing about mugshots, and the thumbnail image of the knockoff Purge killers was my first impression. I’m about as unknowing as you can get.

I think it is easy to dismiss “people” as dumb or uninformed, but people generally have pretty good instincts before their news outlet of choice starts spinning.

I think it makes them look deranged. Seeing the mugshot thumbnails before reading the title, I assumed it was a story about a couple of crazy murderers.

I know with context that these people are evil trash, but I don’t think even for the Ill-informed that a smiling mugshot conveys innocence…
