I’d be very curious to know who used the word, because there are a lot of black people on the Timbers. Not sure I’d want to face down an angry Fanendo Adi...

Hahahaha, I’m sorry what?  Have you missed the news for the past month?  They just had a school shooter game controversy, there are a ton of pro-Nazi games; the only thing they seem to do a good job of is keeping out uncensored porn.

Valve’s current policy isn’t a result of logistical constraints. They already review every game that’s put on Steam. The problem is that their review standards are extremely lax. Unless a game is flagrantly racist or illegal, it gets a pass.

How do you have verified sources that can say a game is good? Players themselves can be bribed with free copies (or just small amounts of money). Reviewers can be bought off in similar ways. Descriptions, screenshots, videos can all be fairly quickly made that in no way show the actual game; there are dozens of shitty…

How was Deroir’s comment a confrontation? This is his original reply to her thread:

“Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John’s pizza for n*****s”

As I said in a post above, given the number of submissions there’s no way Valve can do any sort of QA without losing money on each game.  I suggest a  larger fee, say $2,000 or more, that goes towards a team to do some very basic QA.

The fact is that it’s the only real option to deter the flow of sludge into Steam. Having someone test the hundreds of games submitted each week would be impossible without a team of hundreds or even thousands of people, a cost far more than what Valve would recoup on a per-game basis. Now, that fee doesn’t…

She posted the initial thread about the difficulties of her job on a public site with a public Twitter account and he offered a very minor and valid critique, then she blew up about it including talking about how she is in “her space” and on “her time”. If you aren’t willing to see criticism of your opinions, don’t…

Counterpoint: get yourself the adult version of a kiddie pool, a one room AC unit.  Best $250 or so I ever spent.

Then she needs to get thicker skin, or stay off of social media. Honestly, I’ve worked a lot of jobs where half of my job was to be criticized (and that’s the polite way of putting it), often for something that wasn’t my fault or that I don’t have control over. If you represent your company on social media, you need…

There’s a reason why Deadspin has a whole section called “Never Tweet”.

Fuck yeah, just look at their ski team: 

Larry Nassar:

As someone with asthma, let me just tell Scott Pruit, I hope you die of AIDS-related complications and I hope it takes a very long time. I hope you get some sort of lung infection that your body can no longer fight, and that every day your breathing gets a little harder, every day your coughing up a little more phlegm…

Oh, PUBG is doing just fine, it’s more that the game that arguably jumped on the bandwagon after PUBG is killing them.  PUBG’s publisher did sue, then retract a lawsuit against Epic games alleging that they infringed on their copyright.

Weirdly enough, I’d say it’s anyone’s game at this point. On paper, France is the best team in the tournament and they should win it all with such paltry competition...but! Belgium just beat another very good team in Brazil, Sweden elminated by the Netherlands and Italy pre-tournament, Croatia won every game in a…

I’ve got a couple, for sheer “aww good for them” happiness, it’s hard to go wrong with Valkyria Chronicles.

Wait, it’s illegal to buy someone’s liver?  Well shit, what I am I going to do with this freezer full of them then?

The irony is that if they broke the copyright protection like that on a modern Nintendo console, Nintendo would just have them prosecuted.
