Initially I was not going to reply to this, but there are some assumptions made about how ‘large’ this is or how much ‘visibility’ it has in relation to what I mentioned.. Or that everyone in the approval chains I refer to are strictly managerial.. — I can assure you, neither of these things in my experience ever…

Given the ‘offense’ in context, I think many people would like evidence.. Give people a sneak peek into your strange internal naming conventions and how the one, which is oddly specific to not so coded racism, ended up at the forefront of a corporate virtue signaling content drop.. — I don’t think that’s too much to…
As someone who deals with massive approval chains that affect important things, things like this happen ALL the time.. Because the people responsible in those approval chains are also approving 800 other important things that are all being rushed out door to meet deadlines. Human pencil whipping is always going to…
My brother in-law couldn’t be bothered to learn the cards until he played through the first half of the game. Near same with attachments. After repeating the same few things about building decks and picking up proper attachments after he died a dozen times did he start to take it serious. Some people want a game like…
Haven’t done “solo” (which ‘is’ an option), Matchmaking with PC players has been a mixed bag. I try to disable crossplay because I’m more likely to get queued with worse players.. occasionally I have got people who can’t help themselves from dropping expletives every other word (on console). — Sometimes I get ‘really’…
I’ve personally been wondering how long it’ll take until someone recognized the HiRez Smite character designs and asks ‘wtf’ to the company in a way that isn’t justified by male gazey “but they’re gods and often depicted nude/etc”, back when you know bodies didn’t look anything like they do on their models in clothing…
I concur. Having seen an instance in which a CTO requested and asked for a security assessment done with clear ROE that resulted in loss revenue due to service outages stipulated in the request — the only person fired was the technician who was told to run the tools. Higher level management is always fairly insulated…
What do you mean by “start taking getting rid of the massive numbers of toxic folks in their fanbase” — Who exactly are you describing here and in what capacity are they toxic? Genuine question. Are you refering to particular games, or instances? Also, I’m wondering how this sentiment can’t be made about ‘other’ games…
Sounds intuitively correct. Often people turn a blind eye to the other parts of his works that were quite questionable.. That being said the anthology I was taking bites of included “The Horror at Red Hook” and a couple others that the author of the collection noted were less savory examples of his writing.. Seems we…
What is peculiar to me is having read a whole load of lovecraft works in the last couple years to justify my interest in broader expanded mythos in other genres and influence in other lovecraftian inspired stuff. I found he wrote quite a bit about deserts and Egyptian style crypts (full of ‘crocadlians’ horrors of…
As defined by wiki “various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping therapy, gua sha, massage (tui na), bonesetter (die-da), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy” — I can tell you right now, 4 of those areas are filled to the brim with junk science and woo. Specifically under “Chinese Herbology” — “A…
Not convinced until their specific treatment methods and ingredients are listed in detail. For all we know, people are vying for using “Traditional Chinese Medicine” instead of actually making an effort to treat symptoms or properly care for themselves, thus even potentially making their symptoms or the epidemic worse.
wow yeah, that almost slipped by.. “Traditional”.. Ugh. Please reconsider this post.
My favorite post from Arnheim tackles this pretty succinctly:
My only issue with this is the idea that the uniform is offensive, while the majority of her other depictions are not? The fit a more frequency stereotype, thus it’s more ‘gross’ than the skin tight uniform that half the characters are given? C’mon, a majority of the game is centered around male gaze design dynamics,…
Of course people will get upset about cosmetics in videogames.. It’s the most VISUAL thing there is to the characters you’re playing as? But it’s pithy and sounds good. Easy “Recommend” stars.
Agreed. — Seems like a stupid unnecessary excuse. The ‘lore’ reason is a terrible reason because there is no ‘lore’ in the game that necessitates it. If it’s a cost prohibitive thing, then just explain it that way. If they’re afraid that if they ‘kowtow’ to articles will make them ‘look weak’ then they’re playing into…
1. Sometimes you only find out after an article is published, so hopefully the implication shouldn’t be that reporting on this isn’t worthwhile.
I think “round X colored shape with bland Y colored background” makes it easier to pick out stuff.. while “detailed pixel texture model against other detailed pixel texture background” might contain too much noise.
