Except that the players signed contracts with Blizzard to participate in the tournament, effectively putting them in the same position, and Blizzard explicitly stated in the rules that the code of conduct for streams only applied to their own; statements made outside the official streams aren't subject to those rules.…

So does sending supplies to those who need it in HK. People are just being fucking useless idiots.

Your vision is so bad that you see paying for a goddamn cosplayer to attend a fucking convention to be equal to sending needed supplies to the people risking their goddamn lives, asshat.

It's not that fucking hard, idiot. Contact people in HK through the subreddit. Pool resources, then use them to send needed supplies. Umbrellas with Winnie-the-Pooh on them or the like, perhaps, or just bottled water and canned food if needed. It's sure as hell going to be more fucking effective than paying for a…

So, wait. They put together a charity to harass a gaming convention INSTEAD of actually directly helping Hong Kong?

I’m going to respectfully disagree here. When someone is speaking on a sponsored video stream like this, they are acting as the voice of the company. Regardless of the content or company, making a political statement damages the image cultivated by the company and would result in removal in some form. That is a basic…

Yeah, China hasn't been communist in quite some time. It's planned capitalism under a bureaucratic dictatorship.

Imagine if they spent that time and energy actually supporting the protests in Hong Kong...

There’s a lot of people who are upset with the game specifically because it doesn’t follow conventional game design, largely forgetting how conventional game design is in itself far from perfect. He experimented with the design and tried something new, which you don’t get very often at all.

That’s incredibly impractical if you don’t have money. This was a single person’s passion project, just as Stardew Valley was, and in those situations, you typically can’t afford help. These games are developed entirely in someone’s free time. When it comes to Cube World, the hostility of the community is what caused…

Life in Aggro is not only decent, it's surprisingly topical, given the whole Greta thing.

Leveling may be fast, but you'll have to play through the main story (or pay to skip it) if you want to actually play later expansions. I personally recommend playing through, the writing and plotting start good and consistently improve from there as you play through. Doing so when overpowered is perfectly valid, but…

Nor do I have the interest or desire to do so.

Not strictly true. There are plenty of things that are available through legitimate means that are still pirated. This includes books, movies, music, art, games, and so much more.

Cips are open pieces of metal that hold a series of bullets. Magazines do the same thing, but are enclosed. Don't ever play a realistic WW1 or WW2 shorter, you'll just embarrass yourself.

Large SSDs are slower and more prone to failure than smaller ones, so a hybrid drive makes more sense in a use-case where individual programs use large amounts of space.

Arabic inspired, not Muslim inspired. The two often go together, but it's important to note the difference, especially these days.

Yes, by the time of the patch Classic is based around, each faction had multiple Auction Houses, and they were linked in content as well (patch 1.9 linked them).

Now, I’m clearly speaking for myself, but I do enjoy a certain amount of muscle. As far as I’m concerned, everyone should have their own ideal self to reach. You be who you want to be, and you’ll find the right person. Heck, being who you want to be gives you confidence, and that is downright desirable.

Board games are fantastic, if you can do scheduling and proximity. If you can’t do proximity, there’s always Tabletop Simulator.
