Twitter wanted to sell itself; the offer was at a substantial premium and the leadership was both obligated to assess it and happy to receive it. That’s why they took Musk to court to force him to follow through on the deal when he attempted to renege on it on the basis that he felt he was overpaying after deeper…

Twitter was “forced” to sell itself to some dumb fuck

This would create havoc with existing and older cars on the roads, especially on roads with artificially low limits (4 lane divided roads with no homes around but the local popo slapped a 45 on it instead of 65 as city limits so they can), people going a prudent pace will be mixing it up with cars locked in at the…

This site regularly criticizes C-suite executives of gaming companies, and this article is explicitly about female journalists and developers. That’s the text of this article. Representation in this context refers to the gaming news desks that cover games and the development teams whose labor produces the games we all…

Right? It’s like complaining that the specifically Japanese male protagonist in Persona isn’t also a Muslim PoC woman who loves pancakes more than waffles but only on Tuesdays. Every character, silent protagonist or not, does not need to represent every single possible identifying marker known to humankind.

Agreed. I recognize that as a straight man, maybe I am a bit ignorant to certain issues but I do try to educate myself whenever I have the opportunity. I do know that it’s important to have queer (and other) representation, but writing the main character as a straight teenager without the option to pursue a gay…

When Ryuji asked the question, I fully expected my options to be limited exclusively to the women in the room, as that would reflect the original Persona 5’s extremely limited view of romance.

Glad to see this coming about. Now, I”m saying this as a first generation Japanese-American immigrant, who came to America as a young age but goes to Japan for work fairly regularly.

Identity politics: the clamoring of affluent, upper-middle class types for greater access to board rooms, positions, privileges, etc., on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. That is what the author’s reference to “representation” means in this context.

Though the GamerGate trolls have lessened in number since 2014 (or perhaps many of them have slunk back to their dank caves to hit their Juuls, wank, and blow the embedded food crumbs out from the crannies of their keyboards),

“I’ve never seen women habitually shout those judgements at men who are just walking down the street, or sidle up to a man in the (supermarket/bus/lift/ every other goddamn place) to tell him unprompted what they want to do to his body, or claim they’re too disgusted by his body to do those things.”

This. The number of times in my life I’ve heard a woman exclaim that her gaydar is being set off by a man far outways any speculation from men regarding the sexuality of women. And I get deep in the weeds with my fellow men probing their dark thoughts. In the many circles I’ve travelled, it just doesn’t seem to be as…

you obviously have never ran a business with employees. It is so funny to hear socialists claim to know everything about economics.

I have to say though... Maybe she doesn’t see much of this in her world, and maybe it’s a less than it used to be with her generation, but people are always trying to figure out if men are gay if they exhibit even the whiff of a “telltale sign”.

It’s not a slow year for RPGs at all. Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield, Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty, Colony Ship, WH40K: Rogue Trader, Sea of Stars, FF16, Diablo 4, Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn, Wartales, Persona 5 Tactica, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, For the King 2, etc.

It’s weird that she’s open about her attraction to women and then says something astoundingly hetero normative like boys don’t get judged for their bodies because girls are nice. Like there are no gay men. 

““Nobody ever says a thing about men’s bodies. If you’re muscular, cool. If you’re not, cool. If you’re rail thin, cool. If you have a dad bod, cool. If you’re pudgy, love it! Everybody’s happy with it.”

“If you’re muscular, cool. If you’re not, cool. If you’re rail thin, cool. If you have a dad bod, cool. If you’re pudgy, love it! Everybody’s happy with it.”

Everybody’s happy with it. You know why? Because girls are nice. They don’t give a fuck because we see people for who they are!”

Call me crazy but this marketing vehicle gussied up as an award show is not where I care to hear takes regarding Middle East conflicts.
