Thanks for bringing that up! Actually, because we have depleted the land’s natural water tables, and because climate change-induced drought has kicked our butt so hard, and because historically the delta is a *wetland*, the land has subsided over the past hundred years of farm use to the point where we need levees to…
Because why should he get fired for that? I know you’re trying to equate it to Jessica Price’s firing, but it’s not the same thing. This was just an innocuous tweet. It’s the exact opposite of her tweets. She was fired for insulting innocent people who were just trying to discuss game design with her, calling them…
Whenever Kotaku gets a bad rap I’m always confused as to why, but then once in a blue moon a “controversial” article such as this arises and I know that’s what people will highlight first to prove a point. The morale of the story? Jessica Price was fired two days ago so hopefully this story blows over by morning and…
Also found out that she also apparently made a few comments after TotalBiscuit passed that were ... Celebratory of a man who had family, who died a miserable painful death. Rather callous, which tells me all I really need to know about the quality of her character.
This is a repeated mode of behavior for her. She got…
It’s a good thing I already saw the actual tweets in question which this article has neglected (likely intentionally) to post them. Because those tweets show her to be in the wrong. She blew up on someone asking a legitimate question, falsely attributed sexism to them (thankfully the person knew right away that no…
Deroir was not pretending to know more than Price. She continued an AMA discussion with a 29 tweet long thread about MMO PC characters, and he responded with this:
What’s between her legs has NOTHING to do with the fact that other people don’t know what’s possible due for reasons XYZ. EVERYONE has an issue with people outside their field of work or even outside the company acting as though they “know better”. There are a lot of things that seem like they should be straight…
think the big thing to establish is that she’s not obligated to reply, which I think we both probably agree on.
This article paints the entire Guild Wars 2 community as gamer gate fanatics who want blood, which is obscene and ridiculous. This article is also filled with mistakes. The entire event happened over two days. The incident happened, the community responded, and then the event was resolved.
I’m against the firing, but I do have to ask: if we want to give Price a pass because developers should not be on perpetual call to deal with the public, shouldn’t that courtesy be extended to all the other targets of our collective outrage, like those racist goobers who get fired because someone gets a cellphone…
Suppose, every day, I pick up litter around my house. Then, one day, a group of assholes comes in and says “There’s a bunch of litter around your house! You should pick it up, or we’ll stand out here and protest! Fuck you for allowing this trash to be all around your house.”, would I be wrong for going out the next…
Taking the original twitter spat alone, her behavior was ridiculous. She posted a multi-tweet essay, essentially, to a public space. Someone respectfully commented on that essay and she began passively insulting him.
It takes a cowardly stance. They never came out and officially DENOUNCED the Nazis. They just dance around it and pretend like they weren’t talking about them because it would mean they had to take a stand against Germany officially. Cowards.
You know, some people also didn’t like The Last Jedi because it’s a structurally questionable movie with some bad writing and underdeveloped (or underused) characters.
To be fair, Ford started in a similar way because they were sort of inventing mass production. Tesla is just learning how to do it.
As anyone who’s been to Xi’an knows, the Chinese have owned Warriors of Klay for thousands of years.
If BB8 hadn’t fallen into Rey’s lap with a holo map to Luke’s location, and begging to be reunited with Poe and the Resistance, she would have stayed on Jakku all her life, ending up like that old woman she sat across while they cleaned their loot.
Once the script magicked their respective hero’s journey into motion,…
Actually teaching Rey something about the Force? I mean, he did give her two lessons, but he promised three! And neither of them really have anything to do with what the Force is or the philosophy of the Jedi. In fact, one of them rejects the Jedi way, which rings hollow for the character, and I personally find the…
Millennial? Bruh, have you ever been to an automotive or tech gadgets blog? This is not at all a generational thing. This is a “people want to feel validated in their choices” thing.
I actually like the prequels but that’s beside the fact. At least we got three movies explaining the emperor. Star Wars is now a major franchise with a ton of lore. It’s not too much to at least get a quick little mention of who he is. That’s just bad storytelling
