And the QFMS and SCWWS are essentially useless as long as Qatar's kafala system remains in place. Under kafala law, migrant workers are essentially indentured servants, completely at the mercy of their employers. Many migrant workers have their passports confiscated by their employers when they arrive in Qatar, and…

You're being way too generous by assuming free will. Honestly, just read through the entire ITUC report. A lot of the workers who arrive in Qatar do so expecting to get good jobs and live in nice places, because that's what the recruiters tell them will be there, only to get their passports seized before getting…
I won't comment on the stupidity of these particular players in the article, but the idea that creating AI that can beat a player in a shooter is difficult is quite true; in fact the opposite is quite true, the hardest part about making AI is making sure it isn't too good. To start with, you need to separate the AI…
My grandfather was a closeted homosexual (allegedly). Yeah, without his marriage to my grandmother, I wouldn't be, but it's exactly this "Why does it matter? Why does their sexuality have to be a thing? What if they're gay but you just don't know. Stop talking about it."-attitude that encourages it. It's not…
Wait, so why are we fixing something that wasn't broken? will this comment be seen by anyone? where will it go?
I've accepted how it looks, even if it's full of blank spaces, constantly animated shared articles, and bright backgrounds, which isn't really good for eye comfort.
so, life then?
Yes but Pokemon exists in a separate world from ours, and so the scientific term of evolution doesn't have to mean the same thing as it does in our world. To put it in simple terms, the word evolution, like the word table, or the word fire, or the word plastic, has many different meanings and usages. It has meant, and…
I don't think that the games use the word evolution in its scientific meaning. Evolution was a word that was around before Darwin's theory and is still used in the sense to mean a progression of something (the evolution of human rights for instance). So it's just a word to mean that Pokemon progress from one stage to…
"What is that beeping sound?
Look, I know this can't be helped much, and I'll probably sound a bit petty...
...followed by "what is that beeping noise?" and "I have no idea what B does, are those bombs? I think they're bombs!"
"Oh I can get hearts by killing monsters."
I would love to go to one of these and meet some gay gamers for a change. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. Of course being from a small town in Kentucky, isn't doing me any favors. Game on!
Because it seems that at least a portion of the straight male gamer population gets offended by even the slightest mention or hint of homosexuality, much less there being actual story lines involving it in a game. If you don't believe me see the outrage that people felt around having gay characters in the Dragon Age…
So you are saying a company creates a beautiful game that has rich lore, amazing voice acting, and fun gameplay to just give it to you for free? You might as well not ever buy a video game at that rate. I try to pay for games if i enjoy it so that the company can keep making good games. The only company that makes a…
MMO with sub is WAY better than any other model. GW sucks, every F2P MMO Costs more than 15 a month and, every MMO that has gone F2P puts all added content behind a pay wall. Games cost 60 new these days a d 15 a month is the norm for any decent MMO.
Everyone paid $60 for WoW when it came out plus $15 a month. The WoW client is free because it is almost 10 years old. If they make a quality game then pay for it! You guys are the reason we keep getting pay 2 win games and mobile crap. Why make a good MMO if your ready to not buy it before trying it?
I've tried. Oh believe me, I've tried. I've tried my hardest to get into the rhythm of Pokémon, to fall into the…
