Don't tell me, now we are demanding "ethics in fake journalism?" Read more

That was a big part of the original game. Read more

It puts the ethics in the journalism or else it gets the hose again. Read more

Might help GamerGaters if they could produce an actual example of a "corrupt" game review. Not a mean editorial, a corrupt review.

Little bit difficult to see what "ethics in journalism" has to do with a woman dating a reviewer who did not review her free-to-download game. Really, if this is the worstest of the worst… Read more

Why do all the walkers have long sleeves? Read more

Star Trek is pretend. Read more

Yeah, no please see the rest of this thread where I demonstrate repeatedly that I really, really, really, actually fully really fully get how this works. Over and over again.

One more time: the fundamental principle of relativity is that no physical object or information bearing signal can propagate faster than light.… Read more

Little bit difficult to be calling for integrity in journalism on the one hand while we spread unsubstantiated personal gossip about designers from their disgruntled exes on the other. Read more

GamerGate supports women! When will you stupid bitches shut up and realize that! Read more

There is no free speech protection for bomb threats. Read more

Once the opposition starts issuing death threats, they've demonized themselves. Read more

Will there be more dragons in this one? Not that I didn't have fun with Demon Ages I & II, but dragons were just big monsters. Demons, of course, had highly elaborate psychological idioms that played out against the strengths and weaknesses of the characters. The only dragons that did that in the game were demon… Read more

Who says she's not talking to the police? Just because you're not getting up to the minute memos doesn't mean there isn't an investigation. Read more

Um, Mighty Morphin Travel Agents? Read more

Cherry picked? I'm sure I could find one guy in the 70s who dropped dead right after being given a clean bill of health.

"Their one common factor was that they all believed that they were prone to heart disease."

The other common factor was they had heart disease. Again, I'm sure there are plenty of people who think… Read more

She had a motive to issue a bomb threat and then not publicize it for six months?

Okay, it's possible. It's 1% possible. Therefore let us not discuss the 99% possibility that it was one of the many lunatics who have been threatening to rape her to death since she started publishing. Read more

Yeah, it's also possible that she's posting all those rape threats to herself online.

There is one of her and at least a dozen nincompoops that I personally have seen threaten to kill her or worse on the internet, so I'd say odds are better that it's one of them. Read more

Argument From Motive. Read more

Please see the rest of the thread. I assure you, I fully grasp how this works. The point is that this technology does not allow a physical object to outrun a beam of light, which is the fundamental limit set by relativity.

In order for a vessel to travel to Proxima Centauri in fewer than four years, any beam of… Read more
