As an artist, what do I own if not my own IP? Stealing and selling other peoples’ ideas is not cool. Personally I’ve published some stuff under Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike which I think is cool, but I’ve also had my work stolen many times over the years.

The phrase, “toward the furtherance of a world better than the one we’re being made to endure,” is particularly eloquent and gets to the heart of the matter.

Even as a staunch defender of IP rights, it’s hard to sympathize with billion dollar corporations that will ruin people financially for the most minor of offenses. Nintendo might project a wholesome image but their lawyers are demons.

Sometimes when I see people complain about technical issues, I wish they had a QA / IT boot camp that people had to spend 2 weeks doing before they could comment.

A few million isn’t more money than you need in a lifetime, he couldn’t even retire with that unless he and his family moved somewhere super cheap. He doesn’t even make as much annually as the pundits and anchors on all those cable news shows. Get some fucking perspective. Redistributing even 10% of Bezos’s wealth…

Guy makes a lot but he's pro-tax and isn't hiding his wealth. Also millionaires aren't really the problem, it's the billionaires. There are hundreds of billionaires who have more money than Hasan could make on Twitch in a hundred years.

Hard to say since the first FF is about a repeating time loop. This could be a prequel, reboot, sequel, or some combination of all three.

This is just another example of a Western name seeming basic in English when it’s exotic in Japanese. Terra’s Japanese name is Tina, for example. And, FWIW, Jack is a homophone for the Japanese word 邪悪 (jaaku), which means “evil.”

It bears mentioning that D2R was developed by Vicarious Visions, not Blizzard Entertainment. They’ve since been merged with Blizzard, but afaik are still working remotely from their NY offices. So the people behind this game have nothing to do with the allegations beyond being under the greater ATVI umbrella.…

He’s not a gamer, dummy. He's a political commentator.

Or maybe don’t judge entirely on appearances. He regularly dons the hat and affects a southern accent to satirize conservatives. Also occasionally uses it while doing guerrilla journalism at right wing events.

Hasan isn’t a gamer, he only very rarely streams games. The vast majority of his content is covering current events and politics. He fairly regularly does guest interviews as well. It's basically talk radio for 6-8 hours a day.

Have you seen the house he bought? It’s a far cry from a mansion. 5 bedrooms and a tiny pool, and he's living there with his mom and some extended family.

This is such a stupid, ill-informed take. Hasan streams like 8 hours a day, spending most of it covering politics and current events and discussing it with his chat or guests. It’s basically leftist talk radio, but on Twitch.

Just coming in to say that this is 100% correct. Not that long ago Asmongold was an active GamerGater who contributed and encouraged more toxicity in the WoW community than just about any other content creator, with the possible exception of HeelsvsBabyface (who is now an anti-woke YouTuber in the style of the…

Asmongold has definitely been one of the more active personalities in the WoW community since at least 2013 and has been a pretty consistent source of negativity since then. His audience has historically been full of the worst kind of people you find on Twitch, and he actively courted them.

I’m less concerned that he encouraged people to /spit on people with store mounts and more concerned that he’s also encouraged harassment of people who play races he doesn’t like, like the “furry” races. And in the past has generally been a pretty gross GamerGater, anti-SJW, even as recently as last year anti-BLM,…

He’s certainly been actively rehabilitating his image for a couple years years. Maybe he’s getting older and more mature, maybe he’s just adapting to his newfound popularity, I don’t know. I do know that it wasn’t that long ago that he was a GamerGater who railed against SJWs and nurtured an audience of sexist, racist,…

Asmongold seems to be doing a pretty good job rehabilitating his image as he transitions to playing FFXIV. I think this is something he’s been trying to do ever since his popularity skyrocketed, but not that long ago he was a GamerGater and a Trumper and one of the most consistent sources of negativity and toxicity in…

Brack consistently missed the point. Even if all this shit hadn’t been going on, he’s been putting his foot in his mouth since well before he became president. I don’t really know how he wound up in the position at all, unless he just drew the short straw.
