How many people were murdered over Twitter death threats? Hmmm, 0.

It’s disturbingly easy to find out a person’s home and work address. Anyone with a clean record can go to Wal-Mart and have a gun and ammunition in less than an hour. The news is clotted with stories about people being murdered over trivial things everyday. Now, several complete strangers have all said that they are…

Real world definition: Professional dress is whatever my employer tells me I have to wear, because by wearing that I get to keep my job.

There are very few exceptions to my general opposition to the death penalty. This is one of them. And call me cruel and barbaric all you want, but lethal injection’s too good for him. Give him the chair.

You’re right. PC Gamer actually ran an article explaining this. Would be nice if Kotaku were to update the article to reflect as much.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Sweet Hell, now I can’t unsee it.

Those are actually two of my favorite Smashing Pumpkin songs. It’s kind of a shame you had to buy that soundtrack for them.

15a. Everyone playing this game has inhuman reflexes, a deep understanding of every character and their abilities, and can communicate with their teammates telepathically—except for me. I suck. I’m a horrible gamer and I should stop playing video games. I’m an embarrassment to the hobby and deserve every bit of grief…

I never thought that a straight adaptation of the Warcraft storyline would work as a movie. I always wanted the Warcraft movie to be one with original characters and a storyline that has little if anything to do with the narrative of the games set in the Warcraft universe. You could still integrate some of the major…

Except that Vikings is set in a historical era and geographic region where there was little, if any, racial integration. Having an all-white cast is actually reflective of the setting. Fast forward a century or two, or relocate to another area, and it may be a different story.

Not sure which comment you’re talking about or why, but I’m going to say no because there was more to their actions than just inconveniencing users.

I’m afraid that if some system was instituted where mods could be voted up or down, then this mod would get voted up such that it would not trigger an alert that Paradox could look into it.

They wanted to exercise as much control as possible over people using their game as a racist platform. If they could have the mod pulled from ModDB, they probably would. They may have tried only to find out they couldn’t. You can’t say you’re not okay with a mod, don’t support it, and don’t want players using it and…

I imagine they could pursue removing it from ModDB if they really want to, or patch the game so that the mod files wouldn’t install.

The thing is, not too many people are going to have much sympathy for this particular group—plus, the mod is still available. It’s just not available through Steam.

But I’m seriously afraid that this mod would get upvoted like crazy.

No, it’s a move designed to show that Paradox isn’t okay with people imposing racist values on their game.

And they can create a white character. This mod, however, makes it so that ALL human characters are white. It’s more than white people wanting to be white; it’s white people wanting a virtual world populated by only white people. If Paradox had remained silent about it, then they would basically be saying they’re okay…

Anime and Japanese games are (usually) meant to specifically depict Japanese culture and society, so it makes sense that they’re not inclusive. However, Stellaris was meant to reflect the demographics of the world as a whole, just on a much larger scale. It doesn’t make sense for every human character to be white. The…
