"Development on the next Mass Effect is ending": EA is shutting down RPG veteran Bioware "to align talent and investments where we see the greatest opportunities for players and long-term growth"

I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed Andromeda. They killed it by trying to force cashgrab multiplayer into it, and then when that didn't perform they abandoned it completely. However, the single player campaign was enjoyable. I just wish they'd held on long enough to fix the bugs that were plaguing it.

As always, EA can suck a cock.

Oh, yes, sorry, I wasn't taking into account "eastern" Christianity... Those were the good ones. They weren't reading from the same book.

This man, Father Molinari, preached a religion that has caused more death and suffering than any group in history. A willing culprit in genocide, slavery, bigotry, and misogyny. I say if their blood is spilled on the altar to their hate and fear then I won't mourn them.

Edit: Gather around, ye Christians, and tell me you aren't all bad. Surely the charity the church gives isn't a direct result if the massacres they've waged in God's name.

"Getting paid more money is for fools"

Just in case anyone is curious about how it works...

Your entire income isn't taxed at the same rate. Each chunk of your income is taxed differently. The first 11k is taxed at 10%, the next 35k is taxed at 12%, the next 50k is taxed at 22%, and it continues on at different intervals after that. This person believed that going from 44k to 45k would then change their tax bracket and their gross income would be taxed at 22%, thus reducing their net income. This is false. Only the amount over the threshold gets taxed at the higher rate. Always take a raise if it benefits you.
