This is why we have chosen not to make an official political statement.

I don’t think most white people are racists. I think most white people don’t think about race because they don’t have to.

“Even as states are slowly reopening...”

There is still production things to consider. Normal Virtual Ticket just streams from Blizzcon. Now that it is not physically happening, they need to decide what kind of stream show they are gonna do, where to film it and how. If they want to have production values anywhere near worth the normal Virtual Ticket price,…

Well deserved on SonicFox’s part! They’re probably one of the best things to ever come out of the FGC and I’m just happy anytime I see a headline with their name on it. I love that they try to give the time of day to a lot of different fighting games and don’t just stick with the ones that they know really well but,…

until handicapped people can compete against professional players or what?

Women make up a full half of video game players, though you’d never know it because harassment is so bad few women use mics, even in games where women are a large share of, if not, the primary playerbase. The problem is both social and structural: there are quite a few misogynistic dorks out there, and it only takes tw…

With all respext, Billi, shut up.

It’s not that complicated a hypothesis.

And thus forcing everyone to be a participant in a confrontation not of their own making.

Your argument makes no sense. The “highest level of play” simply changes depending on the parameters prescribed to whatever you’re playing. If voice chat is not an option, then it simply would not be factored into the set of tools that would allow one to attain high levels of play, I.e hand-eye coordination, reads,…

“People are mean to me and I can’t play properly.”

short version: if everybody on one team can communicate without fear of being harassed (and therefore without the need to mute voice comms or whatever), they’re probably going to be more coordinated than a team with one or more members who can’t just easily use chat. even beyond the harassment issue, if you’re looking…

I think the harassment is the thing they are talking about specifically. Being harassed can effect how people play games. I’m not sure how that’s hard to comprehend. Of course this mostly pertains to competitive gaming with randoms, not organised play.

I think it has some merit and some flaws too, but nothing wrong…

Even though your face was probably right where the toys had been at some point? Most dishwashers sterilize, you know.

Why is it bad for Joe Biden to have to answer policy questions that are important to the voters he is going to have to win over in order to be President?

You don’t find it the least bit ironic that they “RESPECT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS” but don’t respect the laws they are sworn to uphold?

Yeah, it was called Dachau, and it took place over 80 years ago, and it wasn’t a game. It was real.

Counterpoints:

I find this whole “Pay $60 for 1/20 of the game is dumb” argument to be ridiculously stupid. You do realize that you’re paying not for the story but the new game in its entirety right? If you just want the story, I have news for you, just don’t buy it and watch a LetsPlay. You think Square can just crap out games of…
