    angry birds posits a fresh take on an age old quandry: what if racism... was good

    well??

    the answer is yes, racism is very good and we need to keep out the greedy pigs

    aren't the pigs literally stealing and eating unhatched angry bird eggs

    Just like the minorities are literally stealing and eating white babies

    Well, yeah. Can you blame them?

    Whites include the Irish now. And Irish babies are the most delicious.

    Hey, don't include me in that 'white' bullshit.

    Also yes, Irish babies are delicious, but that doesn't mean you should eat so many of them

    Yeah, in Limerick too.

    Lots of West Africans and Eastern Europeans too.

    A lot of Spanish people are still hanging around from when Dell hired of loads of them back in the late 90's.

    huh, the name got changed. still looks neat, kinda surprised it didn't have a bunch of feature bloat. looks like the dev actually scaled back on stuff, no more randomly generated campaigns or whatever

    Credit where credit's due

    The majority of the comments on the Playstation Blog post announcing the NMS delay are very kind, addressing Sean Murray and the team personally telling them to take all the time they need to deliver the best experience

    That was unexpected, and welcome

    You're probably dealing with someone who isn't super well adjusted there. Which can be funny and all, but I think the latest trend of posting screencaps of "let's make fun of this idiot hahahaha" ignores the fact that a person who gets that upset over a videogame is almost certainly having a really shitty time of it.

    I dunno, the fact they're leaning on "plenty of other people feel the same way" makes me not believe them to be genuine.
    They might as well be claiming that One Million Gamers are cancelling their preorders. (much better acronym than OMM)

    I think NMS will be a fun game and I don't care when it comes out. If they delayed it this late it was probably a pretty coherent reason.

    I'm just happy it's not a big delay. Hearing about a release date 3 months out is probably going to be more accurate than hearing one that's 9+ months out.

    delays at this stage are basically we could put this out now and fix it three weeks later but let's just skip to when it's good, right

    most folk don't know a whole lot about how gamedev works

    I really don't, and do my best to keep my ears open on the topic

    delays can often mean a better product at release, so I see no reason to stress out aboot it

    I am totally fine with "take the time you need" for this game

    Hello Games employees placed under protection for the foreseeable future after it was revealed that the delay in shipping of their upcoming game was the result of it being rebranded as No Person's Sky in order to be "more inclusive and in line with the ideals of our studio."

    I was more excited for No Man's Sky when they were stressing unlimited exploration. Ever since the word 'Survival' crept into the lexicon, though, I've been more wary.

    Either way, I think my enthusiasm peaked 2 years ago. I'll probably just never get to the point where I feel like putting money down to play, but I'm still quite happy that it exists.
