...I mean, sure. I’m not quite sure what your overall point is in regards to my comment?

I think really the point is, you shouldn’t have to work on it. You shouldn’t have to apologise when you felt bad because someone *tried to make you feel bad*. That’s like apologising for saying “Ow!” when someone punches you in the face.

Because that’s what it really boils down to. Bad sportsmanship is about…

Everything sounds pointless if you are reductive enough.

Was going to say the same thing - there’s a reason the NFL has rules against showboating or similar rules in othe rsports. If esports wants to be treated seriously then they have to learn to accept serious rules regarding conduct.

This is called a code of conduct, and good sportsmanship.

When I’m playing a competitive game I get emotionally invested, and unless I’m playing with friends something like a tea-bagging doesn’t come across good-natured but instead as an insult to me personally. Don’t need that aggravation in my life.

...I realize this is mostly a ***me*** problem, I have thin skin when it…

“Disrespecting your opponent can be a psychological play. A ban for taunting removes an important human aspect. Competitive games can tell a story about the players if you let them. Trying to force everyone to be ‘friendly’ is shortsighted.”

Seems like “no teabagging” is a no-brainer if you’re trying to have some sort of good sportmanship.

How can you create art or entertainment without putting a bit of yourself in it?

When people complain about politics in games, what they are really complaining about is “Hey why is there anything but my straight, white male worldview in this game? It makes me uncomfortable.”

Right? He was also obviously about to be executed by the Fireflies for his trouble. At a minimum you’d expect him to defend himself. They kinda screwed up too.

He’s not quite a villain. Things aren’t black and white in the last of us, he’s a complicated character who did awful things but he’s not just a straight up “villain”, most of what he did could be chalked up to losing everyone he loved and not being able to trust anyone after being betrayed and cheated so many times…

No, they simply never died. They just became less relevant. Oh but they are still very much around and stiill very much obsessed with all the bullshit they were obsessed with back at the start.

I mean, Gamergate IS the alt-right, isn’t it? Whiny pissboys who want to see the world burn because a girl was mean to them once?

You mean to tell me that Donald Trump has chosen to associate himself with people who have been involved with failed, fraudulent businesses and open racism?

Or you could do the math here and see that it make sense and plays out.

His schtick was funny to me the first time. I liked his WoW and Witcher segments, but this... made me want to punch myself in the face it was so unbelievably dumb.

A couple things.

I’ve been hoping games would start doing this for a while. There’s a lot of time, money, and effort that go into dubbing, especially if you want to do it well. Bad dubs ruin a game fast, to the point where there are games I’ve muted rather than listen to them (thankfully, those are much rarer these days.)

Weird, I always found the Japanese cast to be much better. I assumed they dropped the English because more people just played with Japanese voices anyways. Same thing with Guilty Gear.
