Reading far more into "intentions” than the actual words in the post

I just dont get it. One person makes a joke that can be attributed as an attempt to slut shame and nobody does any investigation like this into it, they instead just label it as such and vilify the individual. And then something like this comes out and we go to the lengths to give her the benefit of the doubt as a

“because even a 5lb laptop can be ported from say, a home office to a couch or bed.”

OR across the city on your walk to work because being unable to carry 5lbs of weight for a stretch of time makes you a pussy. Seriously.

When did weight become such an issue? Its 5lbs. Thats nothing. I carry that regularly to work

A 15in 1080p i7 with an Nvidia card and 1TB of storage for $800 brand new is NOT overpriced for a laptop.

Douche

This is purely for the sake of argument/discussion, but...

Couldn’t someone then interpret that as sexist, though? I mean, if they just want the same situations (like when someone is captured and needs rescued) but with a female character model in place of a male one, isnt that the same as the guys who get vilified for

Besides a developer explicitly saying so, what are some of the elements employed in the development of popular titles that i can identify, to tell if a game was published with a female audience in mind vs just being a damn good game that appeals to everyone just on the basis of being a good game?

I’m not doubting that you’re right on this, but can you provide examples of exactly what a game like WoW, and some of the other games you mention, did differently from other popular games other than allowing you to be a female and having female characters and NPC’s (who dont act more feminine than any of the male

I dont get the news story here. This is what insurance companies do. Its a cold and un-empathetic kind of business. Are we supposed to be shocked that a business is completing its designated task? Sure, it seems ridiculous to put a price on stuff like that, but thats what general liability insurance is for. Its for

The new Berserk is garbage

So Nintendo itself didnt come up with the idea of Pokemon GO? Not surprising.

Well dont you think, on the flip side of your whole “Mentioning AMD would only confuse some readers and cause them to think Vulkan is AMD exclusive which it is explicitly not” argument, wouldnt ONLY mentioning Nvidia in this article, with a demo by Nvidia, make people think its an Nvidia only proprietary tech?

Hes

I love how many upvotes you got. Its like they upvoted the snark without actually having a grasp on the information, or how stupid your attempted snark was. Which is basically Kinja comments in a nutshell.

“If NVidia demo’d Doom’s Vulkan renderer then in an article about Doom’s Vulkan renderer it is probably ideal to mention NVidia.”

Thats not ideal. Whats ideal is providing accurate information, like a single sentence explaining that this works with ALL cards, not just mentioning Nvidia 3 times and possibly giving

Then perhaps they should mention that...perhaps that was his whole point....When its your job to provide information, its best to provide as much as you can. Leaving out a mention of AMD when talking about this makes it seem like another proprietary Nvidia tech for those unfamiliar with it.

Your opinion of AMD doesnt matter. Theyre talking about Vulkan and only mentioning Nvidia when BOTH card manufacturers can support it. Thats just bad reporting.

Yes they have. Its based on Mantle, which AMD helped develop

“Oh, and AMD can run Vulkan too, on capable cards?”

Wait, youre getting on this guys case because he is asking people who are supposed to provide accurate information to actually do so? TONS of people have AMD cards but might not be familiar with Vulkan. From this, the lack of a mention of AMD, and the inclusion of the

Because he asked a valid, relevant question? Actually, YOU’RE the reason we can’t have nice things?

Seriously, go fuck yourself
