Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Re: [Obamacare repeal]: BCRA - MTP passes after Pence breaks tie, "debate" proceeds
If it starts looking like skinny repeal is going to be the thing, how is the healthcare industry not going to explode with protest? It's the worst of both worlds for them, here's all this extra stuff you have to do, but no insurance mandates.
Premiums would have to skyrocket.
They've already been protesting the whole repeal process.

Blue Cross really, really wants the individual mandate to stay.

Re: [Hearthstone] To Northrend! Victory or Death! Apparently just a lot of Death.
the forced archetype discussion is interesting because every card game has it to a certain degree - it's just that when you like it, you call it synergy instead of a forced archetype. if i were to hazard a guess as to why hearthstone started to view these things as forced:
1. they're usually bad. taunt warrior is sort of the poster child for both good and bad archetypes, because they pushed it for years before they actually finally pushed it to being good. beast druid, discolock, still languish in obscurity
2. the fact that there are 9 classes and a bunch of neutrals means that there's not necessarily a lot of room. in magic for example, if five red cards are dedicated to a certain archetype, there's still 30-40 that are other things! if there are 5 druid cards dedicated to an archetype, that means there's around 5 that aren't. if you don't like that archetype and you like druid, you get a pretty meaningfully diminished card pool from the expansion to be excited about

Re: Marvel [MCU] Iron Man 4 starring Iron Man and maybe Spider-man
Semantics.
What Harry meant, and most people mean, is the extra stuff he cut out being released.
So, an extended edition.

Re: Marvel [MCU] Iron Man 4 starring Iron Man and maybe Spider-man
That's not how director's cuts work!
Director's cut represents the director's approved cut of the movie.
It doesn't mean a cut filled with a bunch of deleted scenes, and it doesn't mean a cut that's different than the theatrical version. Any director's cut just means "whatever the director wanted it to be". It can have those other things, but that isn't what defines it.
If he had a chunk of extra time to work with, and chose not to, then that represents that this is probably how he wanted it.

Re: Transgender protections: Trump wants to bar transgender people from serving in military
These are brave people willing to stand up for a country even when that country has treated them like shit for being different.
It takes a real slimeball/bottom feeding scum to do this to them.
