I think it was an Overwatch article a while back, discussing how Chinese cheating is tied to the prevalence of net cafes, and how game licenses work for shared copies on public machines. Chinese gamers aren’t as tied to a single account or profile in many games, and are more willing to fire up a cheat for their throw…

Organized sports pretends there’s accountability but you have football towns that allow their football team to rape random girls with no repercussions (except for the girls who decide to be a bad sport and ruin the team by complaining about a little rape vs the rapist’s promising football career).

eSports “jocks”…

I don’t normally engage people ecpressing anti-immigrant sentiment/xeniphobia, but I majored in Economics and am the daughter of two formerly undocumented persons. I walked across the stage at my graduation from UC Berkeley while my dad sat in an ICE detetion center over 600 miles from my parents’ home. Only 2 people…

“Unless I’m missing something...” Well, there’s the understatement of the year. Since not every drop of drinking water coming out of the fountain is likely to go directly down someone’s throat, there would need to be a drain built into it, wouldn’t there? Ugh, I obviously need a couple days off.

I kid you not, Pai literally said after Clyburn finished, “So I assume that’s a no?” and then laughs were heard through the stream. The entire thing is a joke at the consumer expense.

I’m a voice person too. So much of how I enjoy certain things (streamers and audio books mostly) is based on the person’s voice. If a voice rubs me the wrong way I stop listening quickly. You know what I don’t do? Share those feelings in a public forum for strangers to see... ESPECIALLY in an article about the person…

I don’t know how I can take 3 more years of this. I am so tired. I am weary in my bones.

i walked right into that one.

It went from zero to BDSM so fast that it gave me whiplash.

Why do you think we have so many guns? There’s bears everywhere!!! ;-)

It’s never over until it’s over. Your opponent might be a dumb who just rode to the point of near-victory on pure luck and random chance and you took him for an actually good player, or he might have a brainfart and screw up, stumbling while victory celebrating before crossing the finishing line, allowing you to slip…

Using a DS4 to move the character but the headset to turn the head -

Dancers, who clubs classify as independent contractors, have to pay a house fee to work every night, in addition to tipping out other staff members.

This was inevitable.

An even bigger mistake was allowing his opponent an additional turn as part of his showboating. We showboaters learn that lesson quick - anything can happen if you give your opponent one more turn.

Should we really foster a society that doesn’t have any shits to give about exploitative business practices?

For anyone counting, this one IS a first amendment issue, what with the sheriff and that prosecutor saying they will try to bring charges. That is the government trying to suppress free speech (as opposed to twitter removing a checkmark, which is not). Now lets see those self styled libertarians on the alt!right…

Try to cut them so they’re like this?

“Look guys, we changed it so it’s less bad. We’re the good guys now!” No you’re fucking not. It’s still a grindfest so you can sell lootboxes. Everyone who pre-orders this/buys this in the first month is a dick for enabling them.

And this is the same ESRB that’s playing dumb about rating addictive gambling style systems in games because accurately rating them would keep them off the shelf in many retail stores. This is just god damn stupid and anti-developer and anti-consumer. The wolf has been watching the hen house for a while, and now…
