“The action-packed tale of ‘Mega’ Manfred Jones (Mark Wahlberg), a no-nonsense cop with a chip on his shoulder and a heart of gold. One day, when Manfred loses his hand in a drug bust gone south, he’s enlisted in a secret government program to blend ballistics with prosthetics, headed by Cal ‘Light’ Toren (Jonah…

Kill the 3DS. It’s had a good run. Make this new Switch smaller, with a more efficient screen and a better battery. Go all in on the portable angle.

The whole scenario of casting a bunch of real life people as now generic young “sexy” sim characters sounds like a really fucking stupid idea from day one.

This really is one of those things that it is apparent wasn’t made by malicious intent but you still wonder how no one caught it before.

Ah, I got you. Yeah, from the perspective of the super-rich, 700k is certainly not in the high-tier by any stretch. Heh, I just mean from my perspective it seems pretty damn wealthy.

I live in NY as well, but I’m in Albany, which obviously has a wildly lower cost of living than where you are. 50k a year here can buy…

They want to be those execs.

Both SecretFish and SecretFish2 are burner accounts that have only came into existence on this article. 

I find it so interesting that until 2016, Nazis were universally an accepted enemy in popular movies and video games. And now there’s controversy about punching and shooting Nazis.

I mentioned it elsewhere but the attitudes you describe feel like they are perfectly summed up by the phrase “For those in a position of privilege, equality feels like oppression”

This comment section will invariably be interesting. This is another good report on the anti-progressive strain of thought that is very prevalent in many gaming corners.

While I can sympathize with those who feel like there are people on the left who can’t really see the forest for the trees and harp on slights that…

Great interview! I wanted to read more! I downloaded her report and will check it out later.

“A lot of people have, understandably, been focusing on the network graph I included in the report. But that graph, while illustrative, is not actually the point of the report.”

I don’t think you realize that a woman’s only event is not the the same as the systems and culture in place that prevented women from having a greater degree of influence in gaming.

Gamers are fucking garbage. Reddit is fucking garbage. Riot is fucking garbage. It’s disgusting that, despite being given a golden opportunity to fix their corporate culture, Riot seemingly still doesn’t care about the ultimate goal and would rather foster their toxic community.

That is not, in any way, what is happening.

Tell men that a single room at a single event is off limits to them for a couple of hours and it’s a war crime to be tried at the Hague. Implement and nourish a work culture openly hostile for over a decade and “ThaT’S JuSt VieDEo GamES BRo”

It’s legal in the US - generally safer for the employer to list requirements up front, but appearance is a valid and acceptable reason for termination in all 50 states - it is also a valid reason for unemployment, so you’ll typically see (even shittier) companies uses reasons that can’t collect unemployment to fire…

I think more people just went back and fourth like we did here; there would already be regulation in place. I think people on both sides hear the extremes of the debate and feel like the entirety of their stance is at risk. No one ever approaches with “lets make a compromise”. Kudos. Also yeah once I get out of work…

I would like to remind all the reactionary people on here that events like these do have actual causes. It’s not a random accident. There’s an element of randomness, sure, but just like in car accidents there is often some level of fault on various parties. Gun laws, culture, event organizing, security, masculinity,…
