“Does that make sense?” is a way to check in with your listener. Confident communication need not be unidirectional communication.

Look, you might be just fine licking boots in your industry, and more power to you. The rest of us understand that “everyone does it this way” is not an excuse for anyone doing it this way. “It’s bad everywhere, so we should just give up trying to make it better anywhere,” is a cowardly, lazy outlook.

Why people in 2021 think being a snarky asshole is a viable personality type is beyond my understanding. You weren’t cool in the 90's, you aren’t cool now.

that’s not the same thing and you know it. we replaced cassette tapes with CDs and VHS tapes with DVDs. replacing one physical media for another. DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, and even vinyl records still exist. we never got rid of them.

It’s not idiotic just because you aren’t smart enough to understand it. 

I don’t understand the commenters who are cheering the slow demise of physical media. Like, fair enough if all-digital works for you, but why wouldn’t you want other people to have options?

“They write things I disagree with therefore they are shady”

Hi, please explain why the website Polygon is shady?

With so much entertainment vying for people’s free time, it’s pretty easy to ignore releases. You could play games every waking minute from now to the end of your days, still enjoy (if not objectively excellent, at least widely lauded) content, and not have to touch an Activision/Blizzard product. I could see people…

we’ve covered some porn games, we’ve covered sex workers on twitch, i don’t think we’ve covered an actual star from a specific game but it’s def not because we don’t think it’s a story. not sure if you were just spitballing there but if you know of actual people/situations there that are worth covering i’d love to…

She literally called Buck “senpai” in her “Canceled” video and tried to downplay him outing Lana Wachowski in Rolling Stone as a “petty squabble” between over Buck’s ex, whom he also outed as a sex worker in said Rolling Stone article. At best she does not care that Buck is a shitty person which says a lot about how…

Ok, I’m coming into this having heard of the situation for the first time. I don’t watch Amouranth, and microphone licking streams sound gross to me.

There’s a difference between men putting tons of naked women into videogames, and women themselves deciding to do hot-tub streams out of their own free will.

This article literally goes into some detail of this situation, including her response.

Everyone is allowed to have opinions, but they are not free of the consequences of sharing those opinions, including lost business opportunities.

Sure you can, if they’re using your platform. Clearly Epic is working with this kid so they can choose to terminate the relationship at any point if they choose to.
