Hmmm...if some indie dev made a Power Stone-inspired game, straight up mentioning it by name, Gamers would dogpile on Capcom.

Never heard back from the devs regarding that situation, now that I think about it.

May as well start, we will have to go there after Trump has blown up Earth.

If Wii taught us anything it’s that it’s gonna happen to someone..

Getting WiiMote through HDTV flashbacks.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the entire fucking point.

This whole post seems like trying to make a controversy out of nothing. The whole point of the show is to mock the tech industry. They even had a whole storyline about hiring women in the 2nd season.

Sorry, but if you’re only watching snippets, you’re not seeing the full satire on the industry. That’s your call, I don’t think everyone needs to like and watch the same thing, but if you want to critique it, you need to watch at least one full season.

...have you ever seen the show?

I honestly can’t remember and believe me it’s not cause I can’t count that high. Who even keeps track?

There was an entire subplot last season about that...

How is everyone missing the Pakistani dude in the top picture on a post about diversity?

Silicon Valley is pitch perfect and I love every minute of it. A parody doesn’t work if you attempt to change the optics of reality.

Hopefully every once and a while the show tries to point to how bizarro it is.

Agreed. As a woman in engineering and a fan of the show, they don’t hide the fact that there are few women in the business. They even have events where women are hired to be there, which is a real thing I’ve read about. They lampoon the dick-swinging dysfunctional culture quite often.

I live in Silicon Valley. There is NO diversity in tech. It’s white men and Asian men. The white men tend to be vastly over-represented in leadership roles. I know many, many people who work in tech, and almost none of them is a woman.

Do people really have so few important things to do with their lives that they want to moan and groan that a TV Show about an industry which is recognizedly, affirmatively, absolutely and completely non-diverse not being diverse?

Do they not realize that making the show diverse does not fix real life in any way, shape…

I’ve always seen the lack of diversity on the show as an implicit criticism of silicon valley culture. I think having a diverse cast despite the whiteness of the real silicon valley would serve to protect the very people they’re trying to mock.

Is this the actual cover? Is it supposed to look like it was made in 1993 on a home computer?
