Well, no, not quite. There’s room for nuance here, and I’m sure that some misuses of “Karen” are rooted in misogyny. That’s, sadly, still how our society functions; terminology, especially from social justice areas, gets taken and watered down and misused, and it almost always ends up just harming women. Using it to…

Hopefully this is an indication that Marvel decided to bring her back as Skye. I know it’s wishful thinking, but Agents of SHIELD was such a bright spot in the MCU once it got going!

For what it’s worth, I stumbled upon this tweet today:

I mean, I didn’t say “it doesn’t look like a chud cesspool to me” and dismiss the fact that it is. I said I didn’t have time to look deeper into it and only saw what facade they put up, so I was glad to see someone explicitly mention what the sub is actually like. I’m not defending it at all lmfao

Oh for sure, I wasn’t saying it was unrealistic or anything, to be clear! The way Asian people have been treated throughout history is so so so awful. 

I’m excited for my copy to arrive!

The INSTANT I see someone’s named Iris in a Phoenix Wright game, I get suspicious. I hope this 10-year-old isn’t some hugely evil character, hahahaha.

Thanks for mentioning this! I took a quick glance at the sub and saw them cite a few progressive creators/criticisms in their crit of the game, so I was a little confused as to why the article mentions the sub is so ~anti-SJW~ and such. (I didn’t have a chance to dig in because I tend to go ham and spend way too much…

It’s easy to forget that the majority of people who play games probably don’t use social media or follow gaming sites. They might subscribe to Kotaku or Square-Enix or whatever on Facebook, but most people don’t participate in enthusiast communities; they play games, they talk about them with their friends, and then…

From what I understand as a very small-time content creator still building an audience (and seeing how other creators deal with their audiences), the biggest thing is to be vocal. Keep practicing your craft, and let your voice be heard through your work and through public comments (whether it’s social media,…

Would it be possible to include a link that scrolls directly to the updates, by any chance? That way we can see what games have been changed instead of manually scrolling down all the way (and the updates don’t take up a ton of room at the top). It’s nothing major, but just something that came to mind!

I think this is worth sharing.

The problem is, words can contribute to actions. Whether it’s supporting discriminatory practices/actions at school or flat-out harassing queer people around them by saying shit like that, it’s not quite as simple as “words are not actions.” When I was in high school, I had close friends that, once I came out, would…

I thought it was weird too, but it could be that they have a lot of players in locations where Pride Months aren’t in June. Otherwise, maybe they didn’t want to come off as just being another corporation using Pride during Pride Month to market and take advantage of rainbow capitalism? Doing it a different month might…

I mean, this isn’t just some random opinion in a vacuum; it’s the same sort of thinking that leads to people enacting laws harmful to queer people, that contributes to atmospheres of discrimination and potential danger, and so on. The kid wasn’t simply saying he’s uncomfortable around queer people because he’s not…

I mean, you can also educate him while still ensuring there are consequences. There are a lot of nuances to how social media can amplify criticism and how that might contribute to pile-ons, but “he should have stayed banned for an actual duration of more than a few hours” is far from hate. Part of education is…

Thanks for elaborating! I didn’t know the difference between the two chipsets, so I was mostly going off of what else I could glean. I’ve always thought of mobile processors as pretty low-key, so that’s good info!

I’d be surprised if that’s actually the case. If it can run ok on the iPhone 11, I’m not sure why it would have trouble on the Switch; I’m not super well-versed in the minutiae of computing parts, but both devices have 4 GB of RAM, and it seems like the GPU of the Switch is comparable if not more powerful than the…

I think they’re working on a port, last I heard? There are rumors it’s a power issue, but the Switch has the same amount of RAM that the iPhone 11 does, and I can’t imagine the GPU in the iPhone is more powerful than the Switch’s (though I’m not totally certain).
