Admittedly, I haven't watched every video he's done on the matter, but I haven't interpreted his commentary as siding with gamergate per se. Far as I can tell, it's been more along the lines of "there are some legitimate grievances here" which is entirely different from support the actions of a group or affiliating

Yeah, that's none too good.

More people on the job is unlikely. Each active project gets 3-4 people and the CK2 team is currently 5, one of them is (mostly) focused on getting the converter working. That being said, working on the converter couldn't start until the dust had settled from both Charlemagne and Art of War. While there should

Yeah, that's unfortunate, but considering there's the one guy working on the converter, they could use a little slack.

Wait... unless I've missed something, are you talking about Wiz? Wiz worked at Paradox before he launched CK2+, he's their AI guy; however, he's currently the lead on the EUIV project. Or is the new lead on CK2+ been made a dev?

It's a stiff little son of a bitch. I imagine you watched the bendgate bend-test videos by Lou from unbox therapy? In his "unscientific" comparison he ended up calling the new Moto X the most durable of the bunch. If you get one, I'd recommend going unlocked and shelling out a bit more for a wood back (25 USD); mine

For this game, I'm not bothered at all. Lithariel isn't a stand-in for Talion. Actually, her skin comes with its own mission to complete. She also does slightly more damage than Talion, but doesn't have his health.

Yeah, no. While I'm good with RP'ing ladies, RP'ing a lady with an elf-dude inside of her would be really fucking weird.

Lithariel's story is pretty different from Talion's, so they're not all that interchangeable.

This is slightly dfferent as it's a themed restaurant. But I can see where you're coming from.

Depending on context, I'm willing to give the spiked helmet a pass. Depends on the spikes, really. If it's a single small to medium sized one coming out the top, that's relatively fine. Sure it's a combat liability, but it's not without precedent from the officer helms in antiquity to the German pickelhaube. It's

Hadn't thought of that.

Although, I suppose that's issue is endemic to any large protrusion, not just horns.

Doesn't have to be a long rant, as it's pretty simple. A horn is basically a handle, and having a handle on your helmet is suicidal. The reason why the Romans had that short crop hair we picture them with is because you can pull a man down by his hair and slit his throat. Strangely enough, it took them a while to

If dragons are at least half as smart as people, yes, yes they would. The old "pour boiling water/oil/tar" over the gatehouse trick was specifically used to cook the enemy alive.

It's mostly a case of the tactile experience. I believe they also have roll-over and key registration benefits over membrane, but don't quote me.

Good question, I don't actually have an answer for that. I was comparing them as groups (people who got a lot of shit vs. those who didn't) rather than individuals.

Although, I always figured Nathan was implied in the public railing against her. Not the other shit like doxxing though, just the angry comments.

Not to actively disagree with anything you've pointed out, but I think there's a bit more to why Quinn & Co. received more attention than anything else. I've got four major points to add, but it's by no means complete. (also, apologies for the wall of text are in order)

First, internet movements are reactionary in

Here's the short version:

1. an internet scandal that is sure to get ugly presents itself
2. the worst trolls from the deepest and darkest parts of the internet come out, even if they don't give a fuck about the issue(s)
3. Said trolls' actions dominate media coverage of the movement/backlash/whatever due to their

So, I have a theory.

In the US, we've seen a number of demonstrations and marches get their messages sidelined by looters. For some of these marches, it was literally an explicit group of anarchists with a flag, dress code, and everything. To be specific, I'm talking about some of the Occupy events and the G8 summit in
