On the “Katana to a Gunfight” note... We’re talking about a world where people can have nigh-impervious bodyarmor woven into their skin by nanomachines, or have their brain put into a massive cyborg body built like a goddamn tank, and reflexes can be boosted to the point where you can literally dodge bullets. (Or cut…

I would like to point out that someone being an asshole by following you, stealing your shit, keeping your from finishing tasks, or killing you is the point of the game, and not what this article is about.

Bbecause someone doesnt agree with a way some people choose to live their lives it does make them a "phobe" of any kind. If I said I don't agree with people eating so much as to be obese does that make me an obesephobe? Heck I'm far and can agree that it's not a good thing, if I tell someone my opinion on it it doesnt…

I agree with many of the other comments so far that this is a complicated issue. On one hand, yes, it’s not great from a healthy work/life balance point of view, as crunch never is. And it’s very unfortunate that one of the largest developers that had publicly made a stance against crunch now has to go against that…

It’s a “work saturdays for a month or so” level of crunch, not the cancerous “70 hours for 18 months” level that gets thrown around by other developers. Even if they worked at 100% until then, it’d only add, what, 1-2 weeks of work onto the project? It’d still be November, but with so much money already tied up in…

Yea doesnt seem that bad but it can be a slippery slope. This seems absolutely decent compared to other forced over time. Instead of video game industry crunch this seems like normal “we have to hit a deadline team” overtime.

This doesn’t seem like that big of a deal compared to what we normally hear about though. They’re having people work Saturdays for a while, which is a pretty normal thing for businesses when its needed. It doesn’t sound like they’re telling people they have to be there for 16 hour+ days or work 80+ hour weeks.

I am just going to say this but she should have retired in 2014 when the Dems still held the Senate and she knew she had end stage pancreatic cancer. She was an icon but that doesn’t mean she didn’t fuck us totally by not stepping down. 

Equally disturbing is the people who wanted it gone.  He didnt say gay bowser.  This is just like when Kotaku UK wrote an article about lyrics in a song from Persona 5 they thought sounded like a slur.  I guess we are now policing things we “think” we heard?  Hows Kotaku UK doing by the way?

I’d bet that a lot of the “outrage” came from people not of that culture who are “outraged on behalf of them”.

Ssssh, just let the white people be offended on your behalf

They use the colonizer term “Latinx” cause it sound better to white ears than the Spanish “Latino.” So I doubt they care about Hispanic takes. 

No. Someone was offended on behalf of you. God people are fucking stupid.

As a Hispanic person (though not Mexican), please let me say - those emotes are totally, totally fine.

I was speaking more to the “journalists” that cover this guff, but it works for every connotation of we.

Any time you think to preface a suggestion with “if we collectively agree” you can probably just stop right there.

And if they did, we wouldn’t be able to comment on it. 

Touche.
