The first thing going through my mind watching this in the theater was, “This is really low quality with really bad sound design (almost no music and someone just using their own voice for most of the sounds) and really choppy animation. But... I really love it? So maybe they did it on purpose?”

My question is more basic: Is the writer of that crap just a straight-up “slavery gave black people culture” racist? Because just the idea that a species could become “sapient” via enslavement seems immediately suspect. In fact, how could it be “enslavement” if they weren’t already beings who were conscious and aware?

This one is really rough. I don’t know how this got through any person with any familiarity with minstrel shows or racism against black people in America.

I imagine there will be a public statement at some point once they’ve gotten their heads around a plan of action to both remedy THIS instance and further steps to…

It’s that whole “I’m macho and a badass” motif all these Rome/gladiator movies and tv shows give off. 300, Spartacus, Gladiator, they all give cater to the incel crowd.

To be fair, in the 90s the Grocery Store was a hot place for pickups which would lead me to believe the 90s was the last time this guy had sex.

Also, as a woman, I find a guy who is still masking in public places to be incredibly hot. The mouth-breathers in my state ditched masks last June, more or less. I was in the grocery store last week, and a guy about my age was wearing an N95 mask like me. We made eye contact and I could tell he smiled as he gave a bit…

I mean, there’s also the fact that 1 each of 20 different berries and your bag is full, but 100 pieces of iron and you’re good to go.

This dude is absolutely taking advantage of children in front of god and the entire organization and honestly, I gotta respect that. I blame Cyllene for allowing this to continue next to her office, I KNOW she can hear his bullshit.

I think From has a catch 22 on their hands. If they made their games more accessible theyd get more sales but probably lose the interests of their hardcore audience who play for the  cache.

No thanks. I want to enjoy the story and exploration... Not be beaten over the head or forced to learn some secret pattern or whatever. This BDSM obsession gamers have, I don’t get it. It’s not like a difficulty setting would make the game easier for those people who want to suffer while opening access to people who…

Unannounced Survival Game...

Kind of? At least as far as a quick google/look at Wikipedia shows these guys are mostly above the board. I did find some stuff that was distasteful (a case against Mueller’s appointment most notably), but by and large they really do mostly seem to just object to cases of campaign finance violations and the like. They…

I pumped just under two hundred hours into the game in the opening two weeks. I have a full-time job. For that period of time, I had two. One of them was heavier than two full-time jobs rolled into one. I went to bed at 3AM and awoke at 7AM to avoid server wait times in EU.

Has anyone here played this game? If it was issue free, would it be fun?

^ This. It doesn’t matter what he chooses to do in the long run. He gets out scott free. He can literally do nothing and be fine. He wins. The real question is will he do the right thing? Probably not. Blizzard will most likely have to force him out or just have to ride it out till it can salvage something from this…

He has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Let’s be real, threatening to have an employee murdered and actively protecting people accused (and in one reported case, proven) of sexual assault ABSOLUTELY deserves being fired. Those are only A HANDFUL of the allegations against him.

He’s been in charge of this company for DECADES. The entire point of his obscenely high salary is that he is constantly claiming that everything the company does is related to him. You don’t get to claim credit for decades of success and say you weren’t responsible for the decades of abuse. Kotick even has a level of…

He thinks he can ride it out. No other explanation. He thinks we'll forget and move on and he can keep his vanity job.

I love it when people use "Way of life" as a euphemism for "Chattel Slavery".
