I'm not going so much off of publication dates, as I'm approximating when they were announced versus realized as a full, playable faction, and when they got their lore. Otherwise, we'd end up with incomprehensible jank like tyranids actually being one of the oldest factions in the game on...

You must be new here. Yes, dark eldar are dark elves. Warhammer, and particularly 40K, is satire -- in this case, satire of basically every science fiction/fantasy trope, as taken far beyond the point of reason or sanity but with a unique touch here and there to make them interesting. Why would...

You're letting "orange man bad" get in the way of facts. In 2016, Hillary's money total was $770m, and Trump's was $433. That's a 1.8:1 funding advantage in Hillary's favor. In 2020, Biden's was $1.6b, and Trump's was $1.08b. That's a 1.5:1 funding advantage in Biden's favor. To compare these...

He is, just not in the way you think and not against the people you think. You're just unlikely to see it unless you're a pro wrestling fan, which most Americans nowadays -- let alone anywhere else in the world -- aren't. Trump's real business is media and self-promotion, he's a self-avowed pro...

It's just going to be Loyd fart noises. Anything that may or may not be truly incriminating, will be redacted or stay sealed. This is just a pointless public gesture.

I'd say it's a pretty safe assumption when even Todd Howard himself admits without a shred of irony in interviews with major gaming news outlets this is exactly the case. Are they pre-ordering the game, or are their purchases counted in first-quarter sales figures, which are the industry-wide...

Siri, what are food deserts and food swamps?

It's not an untrue statement, but it is one which needs a bit of context. Starfield's production budget was $200m, and as the gaming industry's production-to-marketing cost ratio generally sits around 1:1, we can estimate a total cost of $400m. Meanwhile...$70 game, it was announced 10m copies...

Bethesda games are quite possibly the worst single hill to die on, on this one. The last TES/Fallout game released that wasn't a full-retail-price open beta banking on the modding community to drive sales, was arguably Oblivion as that was the last one to go retail without showstoppers. Which is...

They'll just call him the second coming of Pius XII.

Nah, they just have considerably smaller market share as compared to online porn, and are well beneath the notice of major financial institutions who want their pound of flesh. But otherwise, now that we've reached consensus on where we were, shall we have a conversation about the inglorious...

You...just don't remember the number of porn actresses who started between 15-18 with fake ID's, or who were coerced into porn acting by partners or pimps, who owned up to it later with little to zero legal action being taken on anyone? Of whom Traci lords was the most famous, and one of the few...

This ain't a "culture war" thing, it's a "late capitalism" thing pretending to be a "culture war" thing. Traditional media, payment processors, and investment firms controlling both, are using culture warriors as a distraction to maintain their monopoly over sexualized and sexual content...

Sure, how about operation Desert Storm for starters. There was a singular, clear, overarching operational objective: drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, disable Iraqi warfighting capability, and secure the Iraq-Kuwait and Iraq-Saudi border. To achieve this objective, coalition forces launched a...

Generally, the priority in a war is to achieve a limited, specific, identifiable and identified, series of strategic goals with minimal materiel cost, casualties, and collateral. The specific purpose in this is to erode an opponent's warfighting capacity and public morale -- AKA a population's...
