Make one accurate remark regarding naivety and all these internet tough guys come out the woodwork to talk shit. Best part is all the ignorant assumptions and remarks they’re making about you, while mentioning bigotry in the same sentence - ahh, ignorance, what a most unbeautiful thing all sides are plagued with.

There are some people that voted for Hillary, were surprised that Trump won, and have posted (on other sites) that they see this as a learning experience. They recognize that the American people are grouping themselves in silos of like-minded people and so they believe that everyone thinks like them.

This attitude is why you lost.

You’ve done a great job here pointing out a phenomenon known as “point-and-laugh liberalism.” Maybe if the Democrats adopted the a policy of unconditional respect, one that was advocated by... what’s his name.... the old white guy from Vermont, we wouldn’t be staring at this goddamn travesty. These people are

I think it’s funny that so many people place all their faith in those with political power. You need to put that faith in yourself! They’re not going to save you period. Not even Hillary.

And I’m pretty sure most of the script “issues” are of the “doesn’t have enough giant spiders” variety.

I think what’s so unsettling about it is how it interrupts our ideas of what a bona fide monster looks like. It hits uncomfortably close to home when people who have committed terrible atrocities do normal things, as though they’re not murdering millions of people some miles away. It makes it feel like that kind of

I wish developers who create things with strong implicit biases, could just admit they did so with bias involved. As humans, certain experiences make it very easy to create things that cater specifically narrow standards, right?

He’s saying Claudia Lo doesn’t deserve attention for decompiling his code and construing the way the game works (and in incorrect ways) to suit a narrative she wants to push. And he’s right. Lo continues to be a fucking laughing stock and it’s no surprise to me Kotaku continues to mirror RPS articles of this nature

I can’t testify as to Sylvester’s personal beliefs (and I have not played the game), but as a newbie programmer I do agree with him on the defense of his code: the name of variables (the objects that hold numbers and values in code, that in this case decide the sexuality of a character in the game) mean very little in

This right here. Is why I love this site. The articles are only the set ups for some truly great comments.

There’s nothing malicious about his ‘biases’, though.. Character interactions in the game only appear as a number value. Kim gained +2 relation with Georgette! Holy mother of motherfucking bias, batman! This guy claims women often like other women! When will this assault on my senses cease?

Sylvester claims that RimWorld was never intended to simulate real life. It’s a science-fiction game. “My goal is to non-judgmentally simulate, in a simplified way, a flawed group of people in a brutal, backwards environment, tuned for maximum drama. In no way are the characters in RimWorld meant as role models to

On the other hand, you’re bloggers who “Spend the Day Ripping Lines From Reddit,” so let’s call it even.

You forgot Hilary Clinton, and Barack Obama

It is every upper-class person, man or woman, black or white, who feels like the rules don’t apply to them.

ahh but you told me to just drop it....two months after the fact, after I had in fact, just dropped it. So I must ask, any updates on the Hindenburg? Perhaps the Titanic?

it’s stealing to download a ROM? you do realize that they are no longer made, correct? I get that sharing IP is a crime, but until they start making carts again, it’s the only avenue available.
