I saw this in passing a day or two ago (the satirized headline about indie games version), laughed, and moved on thinking "good joke lol" then I saw it come up again and again and I was like "okay i have to investigate this now" While Kotaku provides the relevant context re: video games specifically, if you go to the NYT directly for the whole interview to go back a bit further the whole thing starts with a question about Facebook running false ads and Biden's thoughts on its power and the power of tech companies and Silicon Valley in general. There's some discussion on it and the NYT gets to a question about Silicon Valley's power expanding under Obama which is the question directly before Kotaku's excerpt starts and Biden just offers it up himself and it's like wait what? Kotaku brings up 3 different meetings they think might be possible as the one Biden refers to. The one that seems most in line with the context around Biden and the NYT's question because of the Leahy connection is a 2012 one close to SOPA but they note it might emotionally make more sense for Biden to be so charged up if he's conflating it with a meeting a year later in the wake of Sandy Hook. really the whole thing is just so bizarre The full NYT interview (it's part of a series where they interviewed all the candidates in the lead-up to their editorial board's endorsement due... in a few minutes? While I made this post? They're doing some dumb, self-indulgent Bachelor style thing with it right now but it's imminent): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/01/17/opinion/joe-biden-nytimes-interview.html --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:933202911] in Politics C...
