Witcher 3 has quite a few typical “activity here” events like monster dens, but the majority of it is well-developed side-quests.

Yes, her playing league on her own time for years is definitely a “how do you do fellow gamers” and not that, and hear me out here, she might actually play games?

she’s 33 goddamn years old, what do you think the demographics of video games is like? 

It’s less of a pose when you’re actually a skateboarder/gamer. 

she’s younger than me and Ive been gaming since i was little, not sure why it’s difficult for you to imagine.

In fairness, Luke is just fearmongering about shit he doesn’t understand, so it’s only incredulous if you’re viewing it through the lens of a non-artist who doesn’t use utilities to generate art telling you about a field which he doesn’t participate in.

He’s the controlling shareholder — the only way he can ever take responsibility is by losing money. Him resigning wouldn’t change the fact that he retains de facto control of the company. Facebook is Zuck’s toy to screw up or not, and everyone who works there should be crystal clear that they are placing their…

LAN parties were the best (apart from whenever the guys got obsessed about the porn collection on someone’s PC). I remember one party where we spanned to buildings and the courtyard in between, where one person had to play on a laundry machine, others were outside with a blanket covering them. Ah the struggle with so…

I’d say Lan parties span a generation. Late Gen X, like me, did them but so did a lot of early Millenials, like many of my friends

Shouldn’t that be “extremely wired” point in video game history.

But seriously, what was so weird? 

While still disappointing, I don’t find it very surprising that a developer from a country in which 98% of the population share the same ethnicity and culture struggles to grasp the depht and importance of representation issues.

I often think about the “Pygmalion Effect” in that connection, where the outcome we expect to occur is in effect a self-fulfilling prophecy, because our expectations shape our actions and the choices we make, which brings about the expected outcome. (An experiment where teachers were told some children chosen at…

Agreed. I don’t think it’s the only reason, but the conflict in the writer’s room probably made it easier for him to walk away.

What exactly makes your uninformed speculation more accurate than anyone else’s?

I’m not all-in on this explanation, but it could certainly be part of the issue combined with Cavill getting more popular (and therefore probably harder to pay for and schedule around for an intensive series like this). Plus I can imagine even if he deeply loves the material and the character, being locked down to a…

There’s nothing more pathetic than some incel simping for Musk. Seek help.

the show is just an exhibit in wasted potential, especially wasting cavill.

He’s probably stepping down because the show sucks and the showrunners trash

Not to mention that he had warned Netflix after filming season 2 that if they veered away from the books any further he would leave. That might not be what happened here, but knowing that and hearing about the article you referenced makes me think something in the filming of season 3 or the script of season 4 bothered…

The show is worse than the books, which means the show writers are full of “literary merit”.
