I don’t mean that you’re attacking anyone personally, that was more a general statement because a lot of gamers are attacking devs recently.

The irrational/asking for too much part stems from developers being attacked and criticised as greedy or lazy for things outside their control.

stuff like Anthem and Bioware’s insistence to use Frostbite, is it’s own damn fault. So sometimes developers are just culpable if not more so than the execs

Have you ever worked in professional game development? I have, and some of the people disagreeing with you have.

Let the game breathe for a week or two and then take the temperature of the early adopters.

I watched a segment of this yesterday. When Ethan said he talked to one of the people whose videos Lengyel had stolen and Lengyel called the person a “paid actor”, and then tripled down on it when Ethan kept asking what he’d said, I think my eyes rolled a full 360 in my head.

That could be true. At first glance they sound different in that the HOA condition infringed a passive right (non-discrimination) whereas speech is an active right. This topic seems to be the subject of frequent debate, but I did see there’s at least some case law at state and federal levels in favour of these types…

To be honest, I don’t mind if they blame this one on exclusivity. Anything that might slap the SE execs into releasing on more platforms at launch is ultimately a good thing for the rest of us.

Yeah, I think this what he meant. Quake is classic, not retro. 40K Boltgun is retro, not classic. ‘Classic’ is intrinsic, ‘retro’ is fashion.

Doesn’t the first amendment only guard against government interference in speech? I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to voluntarily agree to limit your speech as part of the terms of a contract with a non-government party. It’s the same principle as NDAs.

Most things about him are fake, the smile is just the most visible one.

What do hot tub streams have to do with gambling?

I guess they’re still messing with the listings, or there was a regional glitch. When I looked at it before, it listed the Elite assembly for $35 and didn’t have the normal one at all. Even now when you click through the normal one, the description says Xbox Wireless Controller, but also that it “allows you to…

The problem with saying things like “Japan was ready to fight to the last citizen” is it projects the insane views of a small number of leadership figures onto the entire population. So-called “total war” was never more than a delusion among the war council and senior military, the same as if Hitler had believed every…

Where are you guys getting new Elite Wireless Series 2 controllers for $70?

I’ve tried both TKL and 96% formats, both for at least a month (I’m also a software engineer, ~25 years) to make sure I had time to form new muscle memory paths, and I found I was still noticeably slower on both compared to 100% boards.

Your adblocker is (rightly) removing them because they’re Amazon affiliate links. I’ve suggested in the past that they make the affiliate link a separate bit of text (like just putting the link on “(Amazon)“ after it) so it doesn’t affect the readability of the article, but evidently someone decided the affiliate…

It seems like holding ourselves to a high standard of empathy and doing our best not to trivialise mass deaths should probably take precedence over the fact bigots and war crime deniers still exist.

Doesn’t that seem like “sins of the father” reasoning though? Nobody involved in this current situation on either side was involved in what happened 70 years ago.

Are you sure?
