When you are in school, it is reasonable to have your attention demanded.

It doesn’t sound insane at all. Nor absurd. Nor alarmist. You’re being unnecessarily condescending and antagonistic. YOU stop. Have some fucking respect for the profession of teaching.

While most of that is true, I wouldn’t conflate kids burying their noses in literature and educational reading materials with having their eyes glued to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and whatever other social media people use nowadays.

The landscape is such that you work on B2B because it a) allows people to get paid the most, b) allows the companies to pay the least taxes and c) forbids employees from really unionizing as such because everyone’s an independent contractor. It’s basically the same model as the WWE.

Ha ha man, I remember writing here before the game came out about how it had much the same setup as No Man’s Sky. Way too much hype, eager fans with imaginations and expectations run amok, no possibility in hell it could ever live up to what it was being sold as.

I’m really sad that it came down to this. The console versions (though maybe not on PS5 XBSX?) are pretty whack, but the PC version is really good. Slightly buggy for me, but really good. :/

“Twitch clarified that “simp,” “incel,” and “virgin” are not blanket banned and will only incur penalties when they “negatively refer to another person’s sexual practices.”

“You seem like a wonderful incel.”

“I’m very surprised you’re a virgin.”

“I am positive you are a simp. Go you!”

I’ve seen both sides of this, both having worked in the gaming industry and having my designed events targeted by sociopaths looking to destroy them, and currently now being into year 6 of a lunatic obsessing about me and posting endless rape and death threats all over the internet because of criticism of a particular…

Also I used to love Jahbu’s Channel, however I believe he shut it down to focus on his art. Check him out and support if you can. Ni No Kuni much love, Mr. Drippy! https://jahbu.com/

Weird never heard of Zombaekillz, I looked at her YouTube and has only 2 videos. Most of the people that I saw receive systems are on YouTube along with Twitch. I prefer Youtube because you can post and the creators will reply or just interesting conversation. For Instance Sunpi, is an awesome gamer who I recommend…

Yep, it’s why I said goodbye to IGN several years ago. I still follow my favorite people (Greg Miller, Brian, Altano, Naomi Kyle, etc.) on Twitter but I can’t bring myself to actually go to the site because the comment section makes me lose all hope in humanity.

Using “SJW” or “virtue signaling” in an un-ironic fashion signals to me someone doesn’t have the mental faculties needed for a healthy conversation.

Biggest ones get it first probably.

Yeah dude. Once somebody even says SJW I realize that the convo is worthless. 

Thank you for writing this Ash. I’m a Black game developer who has been in AAA for a long time, and I can definitively say that this problem will not be fixed by game companies because they have all of the same issues with White supremacy that their communities have.

Same. It is unfailingly toxic. Gamergate broke all of my faith in the community at large. 

Because there are almost zero negative repercussions for threatening people over the internet.

Despite this experience, Zinda continues to stream and still thinks of the gaming industry as being a good and transformative place for her and others.

Garbage fucking incels.

Man, what the fuck even is Fortnite at this point?
