They’re not literally invisible, just very very small. Some people can probably see them if they go looking. And imaging tech definitely can capture it, and will save it if it’s set to a high enough resolution.

But similarly, you could use an image manipulation program to hide the watermark, but then there might be…

Oh geez I never thought about that! Good tip.

Just use a black and white printer :)

Apparently not a huge capacity for demonstrating all of that crankiness, or in priority order.

But their shitheadedness gets more power to harm people when they’re backed by the *president*.

It’s more about rhetoric. The kinds of bigoted horrors we’ve seen historically didn’t just start all of a sudden with “welp, time to put Jews in concentration camps.” It’s about seeing more people in power: demonizing people who aren’t white/male, saying that white people are the only people to have invented…

Oh geez if that’s what happened I doubt many of the problems are really the dev team’s fault. If there’s high attrition, there’s a management problem.

I find it likely it’s much, much less about a bonus and more about pressure in general to regularly release products within fiscal year boundaries. Gotta make those stockholders happy (which will lead to bonuses for execs, yeah)

Is that actually typical? I thought defense lawyers often used “you didn’t go to the police right away” as evidence it didn’t really happen

It wasn’t a reference to Cosby’s other victims though, just rape victims in general

Uh, no they do not. Especially not if they’re black.

Ah, and as a youtube commenter pointed out, some of the melodic phrases from the map’s music are very similar to the Squid Sister’s Calamari Inkantation:

Wow, that stage looks more than a little like Splatoon. In fact if you’d shown me just that logo in the center of the map I would’ve assumed it was from Splatoon 2.

There’s a little satisfaction to be had from clearing the map that way, but for me it did not do nearly enough to cancel out the sense that this was a massive, boring waste of time.

Sure but you have to *know* about it to fix it. Not everybody spends their time reading about video games; some just have enough time to play them a little bit.

And if there’s one option that’s objectively better, the game should ship with that turned on by default.

Orrrrr make your graphical assets able to be rendered on a majority of machines with discrete graphics and then not be able to “turn up” anything from there.

from what i’ve seen people can also get hypercritical if they know you have any sort of condition that causes you to be different and they want to help you “fix” it. That example of “Don’t ask ‘How are you?’ if you don’t want an honest answer” — I’m assuming someone told you you shouldn’t answer that honestly? I…

Getting involved with an esports scene for a game is not inherently in the definition of “supporting” a game. You say it like it’s something companies ought to be obligated to do. Companies do it because it makes them money; if it didn’t, they wouldn’t. And Nintendo has chosen to say no to this money, like they often…

Is there any good reason to get it through kickstarter if you’re purchasing in the next week?

Yes. Wearing a headdress when you haven’t earned one, for example, is culturally equivalent to wearing a Purple Heart when you haven’t earned one. The problem is most people are ignorant about what this means, and so they just take something that looks cool and wear it around without any regard for its cultural…
