Yeah, I thought I might be getting whooshed there, but I also thought there might be people that saw the shit they were selling for real money and just assumed it was a free to play game, cuz clearly this sort of monetization has no place in $70 games, but well...here we are.
While I'm not familiar with all the books on this list they're banning, the ones I am familiar with is enough to convince me they aren't banning them because of "depications of sex". (Not that that's a reason to ban books in the first place.)
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Beloved by Toni Morrison
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Sure. You're banning these for "depictions of sex." Right.
The fact that A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah Maas is on the list but not A Court of Thorns and Roses especially cracks me up. Mist and Fury is the sequel to Thorns and Roses and both do indeed contain depictions of sex. A number of them! But in the one they banned, the protagonist learns that the dude she fell for in the first book had been gaslighting her the entire time and essentially holding her hostage. And then she forms a much healthier relationship with a different guy in the second book, but I guess that's not a good thing for young women to learn about.
Did you just read the quote of what he said or did you actually listen to it? By the way he says it, it's clear he's using it as a name.
I would say the article even printed the quote wrong. They wrote, "Oh look at that Mercedes, that's pretty good."
They dropped a word and in my opinion got the punctuation wrong. I would quote it as, "Oh look at that, wow. Mercedes, that's pretty good."
While it does seem like something he would do, watch the clip, listen to his cadence. He is not comparing her to a car, he is using Mercedes as a name.
Take em off the glass! Take em off the glass!
No Mr. Feeny. I'll give it a B-
Mistborn, developed by Insomniac. I feel like they could really do a good push/pull traversal mechanic.
Wait, are you saying yes it's unethical to give fake money to beggars and strippers, or yes, it's ok to give them fake money?
Cuz...it's really not ok to give either of them fake money.
Finally! A stylish shoe for the blind earthbender!
Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.
