Referring specifically to the individuals named in the article.

The women coding on temporary contracts with no healthcare (working class women) are precisely the ones I’m saying should be in the spotlight.

English, please.

You’re clearly not comprehending what I wrote. Various backgrounds = various races, sexes (that includes women!), ethnicities, etc.

Where did I say that?

This site regularly criticizes C-suite executives of gaming companies, and this article is explicitly about female journalists and developers. That’s the text of this article. Representation in this context refers to the gaming news desks that cover games and the development teams whose labor produces the games we all…

Gamergate was an organic spark that was studied and then accelerated as an experiment by Russian and Chinese intelligence as the first clear method to create significant social schism in the West, in a demographic that was resistive to talking heads and more traditional and subtle propaganda, more or less…

Identity politics: the clamoring of affluent, upper-middle class types for greater access to board rooms, positions, privileges, etc., on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. That is what the author’s reference to “representation” means in this context.

Future generations will look back on these games, which are made in close collaboration with the Pentagon and weapons manufacturers, as one of many expressions of the putrefaction of the capitalist system. These war simulators are cultural trash.

Drow society is matriarchal, where males are viewed as inferior. This is Lolth’s design. They aren’t lesbians, which is a concept among humans in “the real world.” Romantic interactions with males would no doubt be viewed harshly in the eyes of the Queen of the Demonweb Pits.

Yet another expression of the cesspool that is American culture, which itself is rooted in the decay of capitalism.

May they fully assimilate the lessons of 2077 as they work on this sequel.

I’ve never played this game, but the addition of level scaling is unfortunate. Perhaps there’s context here that I’m missing or not understanding, but I find that level scaling essentially imposes an easier difficulty upon the player.

With characters like the devout (and deeply racist) Cleric Shadowheart

“Shadowheart, the party’s resident cleric and racist...”

I played last night for the first time since the patch, and I found all this hubbub over the patch to be overblown. Of course, more testing is required to say definitively.

My first introduction to Dungeons & Dragons was Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and suffice to say it was a highly transcendental experience that shaped my taste in games.

And they say China is the issue.

Interesting that this appears in the context of the US and NATO’s military build-up against Russia and China. These accusations (i.e. not proof) serve to whip up anti-Chinese hysteria in the population, and pave the way for attacks on the First Amendment rights of US TikTok users.

As a proxy force for US imperialism, anything that the Ukrainian government and military do is overseen and directed by Washington.
