I’d buy that if they also didn’t fire and blackball the 2 casters for, I guess, not immediately karate chopping the player into unconsciousness or something. Blizzard did this to appease the Chinese government, not to set an example.

I don’t think anybody is thinking they are not within their rights. But it’s hard to imagine they didn’t have ulterior motives and natural to question those motives.

No, I act like someone who thinks indie studios shouldn’t have exclusivity deals in the way in-house development does. Your decision to read my post as pessimistically as possible is your own problem. Dot dot dot.

Shocked but pleased that Ori is making the switch, hoping for Will of the Wisps to come over eventually as well. Can’t stand Microsoft buying up indies and making them exclusive, never thought I’d see this happen.

Yeah, there’s a definite syntactic common thread there. A tendency to bloviate, self-mythologize, and unnecessarily use five-dollar words ina desperate attempt to sound smart, when actually sounding like a seventh-grader with thesaurus.com open in another tab. Null, in particular, comes across like he really likes the…

I doubt George reads anything but MRA and friendzone pages on Reddit.

Yeah... actually. It kinda is.

These were, for all purposes, male friends that I could get along with day-to-day as long as the precious subject of gaming came up.…

No character romancing? In a BioWare game? ... That must mean you can romance the mech suits! Of course!

I dunno, seems to me people in all walks of life should not be calling each other “fucking faggots” or “cunts,” or using the word “gay” as an insult.

My prediction is she replaces RiRi Williams as Ironheart if they kill of Iron Man in the Infinity Gauntlet movies as many are predicting, RDJ’s contract is up. She was so so so damn good and has awesome chemistry with Boseman.

The answer to your question is: ‘Yes, you are the problem, and you represent a cancer long plaguing the gaming community.’

The Babe story struck a nerve with me too. I had a few bad experiences like it described in my teens and early twenties. in the 1970’s. Quite a few guys approached sex as if it were a sales job—sometimes slick seduction, sometimes high pressure sales pitch.

Thanks for speaking up! That relationship sounds horrifying and I’m so sorry you had to go through that.

I read the original piece in an abject kind of horror at what straight women have to deal with. And yet some say this is a “bad date.” Like what the fuck?

So it has to be the right person, the right player, and those things have to come together at the right moment—which makes it especially hard for women in the scene right now.

I believe they might be afraid she would attract bears

first they came for the 12 year olds spamming slurs, and I said nothing ;.;
