Well, not all of us are one of The Gamers™.

I just feel kind of awkward as their roster of games itself had been enough to make me not support their business.

Buy my BOOK! BUY my BOOK! BUY my BOOK!

And there are few protections in place to prevent troll-approved tactics like the persistent recording of streams via IP.

Because not telling you makes it impossible for you to fight them about it. No matter what you try to offer as an “if I was banned for *this*...”, in order to offer an explanation or correction, they’ve left themselves the convenient out/ insinuation that it was something else.

Violence from caregivers is just as prevalent here as it is there. More here (but it is still a huge problem in Japan because of their population decay and poor welfare systems) but it doesn’t make headlines because the media doesn’t really care about highlighting mental health and healthcare burdens, just political…

So I live in the area and thought about it for a second.  I do know that stop sign, and I don’t know what it is about that intersection but when I drive there at night I always forget its there.

Not gonna lie, I skipped most of the article because I don’t care about internet drama, but I wanted to comment on the point Steph failed at making.

It’s not inherently unfair. The way it gets used is unfair. Voice chat is simply a tool. But people abuse that tool.

So here’s my read: I don’t use voice chat unless I’m playing with very close friends and those friends alone. With any other group I don’t use it because I don’t need to be called a porch monkey while relaxing after work and such. 

I knew something was up the second I saw the standard circus of reactionary youtube gamer chuds all targeting one single person with a laser focus. Like, that’s your immediate clue to know whatever “anger” going on is entirely performative and in bad faith.  

They found their target of the month—and a woman too, how…

That punchline though.

We considered Deep Throat but ultimately decided that the Colombo crime family does not count as an independent production outfit.

Whomst among us did not weep openly when that tree the cat people liked fell down?
