I can see why people are so mad about Epic and the idea of competition for Steam. Who wouldn’t prefer this overwrought, Byzantine nonsense being their only option!

It’s times like these I remember how weirdly dystopian Steam is. “Buy more games so you can win this cute metagame to be entered into a lottery to win more games” and the unintended ramifications for both developers and customers is something I’d expect out of a too-on-the-nose cyberpunk setting.

Today I learned Valve still makes games. They are just inspired by predatory mobile games.

This is “Call Centre Culture” in a nutshell. I worked customer care for UK/IRELAND/UAE for an outsourcing company called Concentrix on a contract with “A global leader in tech and consumer products with fruit in its name,” as we were told to refer to it when we first joined. Yep, we were NDAed for the duration of our…

It’s not about right and wrong, she’s getting paid to represent the brand to the brand’s consumers, and she blew it. It would be the same thing in any industry if someone was to respond to a customer making a snide comment with what she said, or something close to it. She got fired for messing up at work, there’s not…

So if you’re frustrated with a woman taking advantage of you or doing something awful, it’s acceptable to just say “women are trash”?

Still have to be mindful of your position. The days people get fired all the time for things they posted in social media even when it had nothing to do with their job. Even stuff posted years ago. In this case her gig was as a social media influencer. So she did this in what amounts to her workplace. Also, as…

Crappy situation, but I’d say it’s the right call.

I’ve lived in SF for close to a decade, marched in the parade multiple years, and can barely stand it anymore. If I see one more god damn rainbow corporate logo...

“Although it makes sense for Blizzard to cater to what they believe their audience’s tastes are, one insider says that if Blizzard wants to be a force for change, they might have to make bolder decisions.”

What “bolder decisions” can Blizzard make other than having multiple gay characters in their game and fully…

I thought we were supposed to “respect other cultures”?  Isn’t that what progressives declare every time somebody brings up how problematic Muslim religion and culture are?

I kind of get what is happening in the game from all the trailers.

Die-Hardman is on the shortlist for best video game character name in recent years.

New here, been creeping for a while and finally decided to create an account and try my hand at the photoshop contest. My posts are pending and I don’t have an upload image button, but I have uploaded a pic here.

The True Wolf.

When you technically have better things to do but the idea just won’t leave your brain ...

These outrage articles over horny games are becoming more and more frequent and it’s a pretty funny side effect of the simultaneous attempt to normalize them.
These games are for fuckin weirdos to get off and always have been. 95% of the ones from Japan are going to have this horseshit in them. It sucks and is bad, but…

Daenerys Targaryen is 13 when Khal Drogo first rapes her in Game of Thrones. Yes it was rape, she’s visibly reluctant and miserable the entire time it’s depicted in the show. Then falls in love with him after she’s raped enough times.

This is not at all about making me happy. WTF. I am talking about discussion.

I am not writing a lot more because you clearly think I have an evil intent behind my comment and that sucks. I truly do not understand why. It is what I mean that there is not room for tolerance or discussion on any side anymore.
