Almost bought this game this weekend on Steam. I came really close.

Thank you for posting this, along with the attempted retraction by the devs. If I hadn’t already put that money elsewhere, you’d possibly be saving me from spending it on this company.

Nothing at all to do with freeze peach here. It’s basically giving a safe zone for racists who don’t want to see non-whites. Is there an appropriate filter for any minorities, who only want to see minorities?

No? Then there you fucking go.

You signed up just to say that? I’d be a fair bit ashamed. Might want to think that one through better next time, and not end on up on the square that has you agreeing with shit policy.

This is not dissimilar at all to sotftball, which makes sense given that they are functionally very similar. I’ve seen people hit with foul softballs, my wife was actually hit with one a few years ago. Luckily it didn’t cause any permanent injuries, but soreness and headaches for a couple of weeks, and a nice…

Very much so. I’m of a similar bent, although more toward fantasy than scifi. I still collect physical books and like them, but for portability and access I really love the reader. Plus my kids play softball a lot, and I can read it at night, in bright daylight, when it’s raining, and have a large library with me that…

Right on man. E-readers may not be your thing, I’m half and half with them and print materials, but they are one way to use the library without physically visiting it too. If you like both, check to see if your local library has Overdrive or the like. It’s fantastic when that new book comes out, and I can download it…

Either event, always thrilled to meet another avid reader, and kudos to your mom. There’s not enough of us left, at least in fiction and definitely among men (huge gendered gap in fiction). I’m the oddball in my group, even among librarians, who reads a couple hundred books every year. We’ve got to stick together with…

Not entirely, but going there. **Actually currently it is under threat of total defunding, my mistake.** The first cuts after our current president made it into office, current cuts threatened will be a lot worse. It’s hurt a lot of libraries, really badly because some of them depend on it more than state or private…

No I get it. I would have gotten my back up too, under the circumstances. Sorry how I came off initially, and glad we’re talking it out.

It’s just hard man. In this field, you defend your fucking existence every day to every “Why are libraries here” or “Isn’t everything online” or “Libraries are for poor people” you…

My man, I will only say this one more time. You came across like a total ass, I responded in kind. Don’t put that evil on me Ricky Bobby.

We look like we’ve come to some civility here, so lets go from there right?

It may not, but it certainly comes across that way online man. Libraries have changed, reading and access to information and platforms has changed irrevocably. It comes across more as if you haven’t totally kept up with it, and are grumbling about the older days when these things might have meant more.

Reading simply…

That’s because you’re hinging the act of getting information from a medium on the the word “reading” which implies a physical and visual medium. Reading is one way to get the information of a book, but books are not the only mediums with that information, and reading’s not the only way to get it. Consider this, your…

See? Call me rude with shit like this? Dude, if you’d been in or worked in a library in several decades you might realize that A) we do this all the time, B) it’s the least of the services we offer, and C) there’s at least several different types of libraries and they don’t all do the same thing (academic research…

I’m trying really hard not to be. Really hard. It doesn’t help when poorly thought out and worded opinions that kind of crap on your field are typed out. I’ll try to check it, but you’re going to have to check how you’re coming across as well.

Seriously guy, quit with this shit. Let people like shit and have access in the way they want it without having to wonder if they’re going to be called out as fake fans. We have enough of hard time getting people into reading in the first place, without having to deal with shit like this on top of it.

You can listen…

It’s a shitty high-horse opinion that separates “real readers” and “fake readers” so you can feel good about that book you read this year. 

Correct. I am telling you that as a professional librarian of over a decade, with the degree and knowledge to back it up. You’re confusing container and content, and pretending that preferring physical books is the only way to go about it. Stop that shit.

Yes. If you sat through children’s hour, or only listened to audiobooks, I would consider you a fan of reading, books, and literature on a whole. Books are the physical containers (carriers in metadata speak), the information is what it contains (content in the same). Trust me, it’s not about the format but the…

Yes, I’ve watched a ton of sports. Never liked a single bit of it. Watched people play video games in arcades and on couches, also never much like that.

It’s fine to not like this as well, and not understand why people do like it. As long as your not casting stones, do your own thing.

True, he’s welcome to it. I just prefer being pedantic and right, to being pedantic and possibly right based on information that was unsaid and unable to be inferred.

And you are correct, that some people pay taxes that go to the library to help fund it, doesn’t actually mean they pay for services rendered later.…
