I posted this article farther down, but it breaks down how the divide varies greatly by genre: https://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/

The structural challenges are huge in getting more women into e-sports I think and you hit on a big one. The people that go to tournaments largely are not representative of the at large gaming pool so its hard for a woman to fit in the stands let alone on stage.

“What Stops Women From Going Pro In Esports”

I’ve done a few freelance gigs as a moderator for fighting game tournament Twitch streams, and just the fact that every time a woman competes, I have to spend several minutes banning anyone who says”trap”, WHICH IS EVERYONE, makes me think we’re still a LONG way off from being an area welcome to female gamers.

I’m now waiting for the fifteen websites to run headlines with “According to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, next Assassin’s Creed to be set in Greece”

It’s tricky and amorphous, but that’s one of the rubrics we use when trying to decide when and how to report on something. Does this thing have “news value”? Is it really going to serve people to know this in advance? There’s never an easy answer — it’s a spectrum — but something like “the next project from storied…

Better than having a small team and trying to get them to make ambitious games that will never see the light of day!

But can we be sure? This is a man who runs the US branch of a multi-billion dollar company, who has a seat at the table and can on his word start careers and end them, with his only higher ups being at NOJ.

Sure Melee is fun. It’s also almost old enough to vote.

It seems as if all that salt he shed about Melee, Melee, FUCKING MELEE along with the undercurrent of being a bit of a ass might have finally caught up to him. Melee was released almost 18 fucking years ago. It had it’s time in the spotlight, more then it’s fair share and yet, we have folks like Hungrybox who seem to…

I would figure that’ll make it cost more than $20.

Because they can do this first, sell a bunch, then make marginal changes and do your suggestion. That’s how Nintendo has operated for peripherals.

Sums up the religion SO well “It’s the worth that Jesus promises but the church so often takes away.” 

I think it’s important that you noted that Faith must have had a previous life that she turned away from in order to be so singularly devoted to the cult.

If, as she says, she was plied with drugs and threatened by Joseph, then it follows that whatever he was offering was better than what she was leaving—as who would…

He isn’t talking about “the vast majority of Christians.” He’s talking about Evangelicals. The first hint is that it says “Evangelical” in the headline.

This is a great counterpoint but I feel it is a counterpoint that is purely one that only an outsider can make. Faith is simply unable to objectively view her actions within the prism of what is good or bad as she has no counterpoint to compare too. If she was able to live or even just observe a positive life outside…

This is a really wonderfully written counterpoint. Thank you for this.

I really appreciate that you took the time to parse out the nuance and complexity evident in Faith’s character. She really is trying to be all things to all people—but I stop short of according her the level of sympathy you’re showing here, for three reasons:

First and foremost, even if she’s now clean, she’s actively…
