I’m just imagining some poor animator, sitting at his monitor, surrounded by a bunch of lawyers glowering at him, beads of sweat on his forehead as he nervously taps his arrows keys to adjust a slider on screen labelled “HOLLANDISER”.

Unions, can only work with the leverage they have. So while the union may be able to raise hell, they have to consider whether doing so will cause them to be shut out (remember this is more like a talent guild than a unionized shop, and unlike with film and movies, it's likely fairly easy for studio to choose not to…

The sad part is there are LTG types in every single community with hosting people who are considerably worse. I think thst competitive drive unveils the inner asshole in people but some people turn that mess up to 11 and just become a headache to be around.

Yep, but it’s definitely not a good idea to just gloss over them and blame it on negative media spins. Media didn’t make the EVO founder pay a bunch of kids to get naked in a pool nor did the media have a bunch of Smash players groom little kids. When people like Low Tier God exists the FGC will always be the hidden…

You gotta’ wonder how someone can seriously, with a straight face, and complete certainty, say, “I am not your ethnicity, but I’m going to use the derogatory term specifically used to harm your ethnicity, but I’m not being racist. My ignorance, or inability to care, can’t be classified as racism, because I’m not…

Yup. That sounds like a Nintendo multiplayer game.

Maybe, just maybe, your car isn’t a gaming system. Maybe it’s a two-tonne missile that you’re piloting around other two-tonne missiles, as well as a bunch of very soft, breakable humans who have as much as a right to be out there as you do.

I used to go to SA all the time, but thankfully never really ventured too deep into the forums. The articles and features like Photoshop Friday, along with occasionally insightful stuff like their article that taught me about Blackwater, were that specific brand of angry and mean-spirited humor that the mid-00s were…

4K textures add up real fast, it seems.

I love the idea that professional gamers have credentials in Japan.   Like now I am imagining someone getting in trouble and being called into the E-Sport Chiefs office and him yelling “Turn in your e-Sport badge and controller, you are off this circuit”

You know what? I’ll just leave this here.

Didn’t they say that due to ‘exceptional performance’ he’d be earning double the new base rate (i.e. his original salary) plus bonuses?

So true. Also, I’ve been seeing a lot of “well, worst case - install Windows on it instead!”, which just reveals how few people have thought through the unique usability hell of using Windows on a 7" 720p screen (as well as the lack of universal UI scaling across games and programs).

Haase is using his audience to harass and silence critics who suggest he is only in it for the money.

To be honest, I do debate joining the current gen on PS5 or Xbox Series X (and the fact they are next to impossible to find....@#$@ resellers, makes the decision easier), but I see nothing I really want at the moment. Like you said, Miles Morales I can get for my PS4. The only real reason I would like to upgrade is to…

I hear that the left wants to... *looking around* ... make the police accountable.
