I think you're honestly looking into it too much.

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what her endgame is. Not, you know, showcasing her product at a prestigious trade show and drumming up interest in it while daring to be female.

Hoping that I'm not coming off as desperately naive, because I know exactly what sort of people Ms. Wu deal with, but I'm legitimately wondering - is there a point where we just stop giving the sort of people that made this happen a stage? There's no excuse for threats and the like, and while I can't really say that…

I don't see how "soliticing donations" is suddenly an offense. By that logic, Sodapoppin, Sky Williams, Keyori, and literally ANY OTHER popular streamer is criminal. If it's proven that she's a fraud, then that's that - it would be no different (and in fact not nearly as severe as) that streamer who pretended he was…

In FFXV demo tonight, director Hajime Tabata was asked how much of the game is currently finished. Tabata replied, "We're now at 60 percent." Last September, Tabata told Kotaku the game was 55 percent done. Honestly, I imagine the team has been busy getting the game's demo out the door.

The thing there is it's hard to tell how much of that is because people aren't buying them, and how much of it is that they aren't being made. I'm willing to bet it's largely a case of the latter, since even if the "why does race matter?" camp isn't super helpful in breaking down barriers, they can generally be…

Not an excuse. Like it stated in the article, there's really no reason it can't be researched. Nobody's expecting developers to do it on their own, but it's a little concerning when a company is willing to put development funds into basically any kind of research EXCEPT groups of people that are, with few exemptions,…

In keeping with your "it's the job of everyone" theme, I don't think it's solely the fault of developers, I'd argue a very large portion of their end of things is publishers as well. This is an industry where developer wants and needs are often swept under the rug, which is generally why indie games tend to have the…

Yeah, probably - some super preliminary googling said average salary is above $100k, so it's a lot, but yeah. Even if someone's overpaid for a job, it's not because of their education.

I took $150k+ as either hyperbole or misunderstanding on OP's part. If that's actually the case, then that's definitely much higher than I'd imagine (That's what, $50/hour or so? I was making $15 in my case) but my disagreement was mostly with Stereotype's... use of stereotypes. I think a lot of unions are ridiculous…

Three little words sum up mage trolling in WoW:

I'm not a dockworker, but I worked in a distribution centre over the holidays while in college. It's not nearly as easy as people love to believe, and I'm astounded that in this economy people are still pretending that degree = job.

I remember this! Would be great for crossplayers too!

It's coming. It likely won't be that exact scenario, I'm legitimately worried it'll be a prominent POC streamer or something getting swatted because they have the audacity to not be white or some similar bullshit. And then they'll get that diamond in the rough shitty cop who "feels threatened" by someone with just a…

Okay, hypothetical situation - you're a member of SWAT team. You know that if you and your crew are being called in, it's because things have gotten quite serious, and beyond the scope of dangerous situations that normal beat cops are expected to deal with - hostage situations, someone on a rampage; you have to be…

Yeah, figured it might have been covered, I'm just the teeniest bit tired of people my age talking about baby boomers ripping on us while ripping on the next generation the same way. :P Wasn't trying to ruffle feathers if that's how it came across, just felt that it was a distinction worth making.

I strongly disagree with saying it's that we're raising a nation of selfish teenagers - that's a constant with any generation, teenagers are - generally, with obvious exception - shitty people without the empathy to completely understand the impact their actions have on others. The only thing that's changed is the…

Because it's not like people live with their parents because of the economy or anything as well.

No, it amounts to admitting that a SWAT team being called to a scene indicates it's a life or death situation - which is something we already knew, ESPECIALLY if the way to swat someone involves calling to say you have hostages and are ready to kill them. It's not an immediate death sentence, but SWAT officers are…

Cool! I can't wait to not be able to play the ones I want because of scalpers!
