I’m seriously in no way downplaying what happened here or taking any blame away from the police for not deescalating this situation in a less muderriffic way, but seriously asking... If you believe this man was so disabled that he couldn’t understand or react to a group of uniformed officers screaming orders at him,…

Hah, uhh... Not saying I necessarily disagree on principle with what you’re saying here, but to suggest that the founders of this country weren’t (by today’s standards) racist and misogynistic is some pretty serious psychological projection. Also, while they were opposed to governmental authoritarianism, they were…

Trump is just an easy target... The guy has built a campaign on saying outrageous things so he can keep his name in the headlines. I don’t personally think he actually believes (or more importantly would be able to act on) half of the things he takes his controversial stances on, but it doesn’t stop it from riling the…

“news agencies have stories which strive to have no bias”

Well, I sort of agree, in that I know a dozen people who graduated with me that thought they were going to get a job BECAUSE of the degree, while I worked around the clock for years to get my foot in the door and the degree was just one piece of it, but it’s not just that they lied about job placement...

The larger…

Yeah, that was my basic experience with the place as well. I did learn a lot there, and I have worked in the field and several related ones (and still do), but that was largely because I did an exorbitant amount of my own work on the side... Everyone I graduated with works in totally unrelated fields now because the…

You’re absolutely right, and on top of that, it’s not that we thought we couldn’t do game development without a degree (I had made dozens of terrible Flash games and game mods before I went to school), it’s that we wanted a formal education in it, on top of the home-brew stuff.

The problem was, ITT either didn’t know,…

Yeah, as someone who graduated ITT in 2005, I can assure you, it was a much more difficult/confusing time for getting an education in game dev, and the school filled student’s heads with an absurd amount of misinformation on the topic... (And frankly, you’re kinda doing that too.)

I’ve worked in game dev (and a slew of…

Well, you’re sort of right... In hindsight I was definitely mixing up some of the details from the other incident with this one, and I’m not excusing/denying that... Most importantly that it was Terence Crutcher with the criminal history, not Keith Scott, but that changes nothing about what I said concerning the…

You’re making assumptions there and putting words into my mouth... I never questioned whether or not it was legitimate to shoot a man reaching for a gun who was also told to drop his gun. Just that I saw images that suggested he was reaching towards his waistband, and not simply standing in compliance with his hands…

I don’t presume to know... I have no idea how threatened they felt that day, what information they had, or what exactly went down. I do imagine it was less based on reasoning and more on instinct or training, but I have no clue whether it was a justified response in that moment.

All I was saying was that I saw an…

Reportedly, and there’s been some photos (stills from a video I believe) floating around this morning showing what (sort of, it’s grainy) appears to be a gun lying on the street afterwards, but who the hell knows what to believe at this point.

Not sure how he even became a person of interest in the first place, but I did see a story this morning detailing an extensive criminal record and the possibility of some outstanding warrants...

No idea whether it was true (finding it hard to believe any news outlet’s interpretations of events at this point), but it…

I haven’t seen word one about him brandishing it in any way, but I saw some stills (taken from a helicopter I believe) this morning that made it appear like his hand was reaching towards his waistband directly prior to being shot. Which is very likely enough to clear the officer of any charges sticking if he was…

It’s solid enough. Still has that RE jank/clunkiness, and you can definitely feel how compressed it is with how few enemy types and how enclosed all the spaces are, but it’s definitely one of the higher-end RE games...

I haven’t tried 2 yet, despite having it on PS+ for like a year now... Should really do that one of…

Bit of an overstatement to say it “killed the survival horror genre”... It certainly evolved it, and definitely made a bunch of them cross over with shooters, but that’s not killing the genre, that’s opening it up.

I mean, it’s pretty obviously responsible for Dead Space, which fell off it’s own cliff eventually, but…

I’m super-curious as to how movement will work in that game. Well, in most PsVR games really, but that one especially.

90% of the Oculus/Gear/Cardboard stuff seems so afraid to let people just walk around (ala FPS.) I’m surprised something that looks as free/chaotic in movement as Rigs does is among the PsVR launch…

Hah... I’d love a solid new Tenchu game, but equating this dev team to stealth at this point seems borderline insane to me...

They have so ingrained into me at this point that enemies can see me from 200 yards away, and through walls. (Unless of course, their backs are turned.)

God, that would be tiring, both physically and emotionally... I’m just envisioning that Wii-Boxing game where I felt like I was going to die after 10 minutes from physical exhaustion, except now, with the added stress of immersion in a jump-scare based world of demons, and the constant fear of insta-kills/death...

Yeah,…

Blerg... I know it sounds crazy to say it out-loud, but I love that the games kind of “encourage you” to be as cheap/cheesy as possible in your tactics, including hitting enemies in areas you can’t even reach. (Which would include behind gates/walls.)

I also enjoy how easy it is to get ravaged by something seemingly…
