I taught for 18 years. I had 1 altercation with a student. They hit me. I grabbed him and put out of the room. I told my principal the student needed to be moved to another room or i wouldn’t be coming back to work until he was out of my class - for both of our safety (his moreso than mine). According toy district,…

“I know I don’t throw racial slangs ever,” she said. “I know none of my family members that live in the house with me throw racial slangs ever.”

Except society inherently approves of those things, so if there were less men to do those things, they’d just be replaced by more women doing those things.

“Ms. Townsend should not be blamed for this mistake.”

I’m certain that accounts for some of it. But in the next few years they have OW2 and multiple mobile games lined up. And while mobile games may be roundly rejected by traditional Blizzard PC fans, there is an obscene amount of money to be made in that market.

I kinda assumed that the assholes in charge would be a bit more competent in hiding their bullshit, honestly.

Perhaps the most ridiculous and inane aspect of all of this for me is that, in the middle of being the biggest case study for gender-based discrimination in the US at the moment, when given the chance to publicly hire two people for the *exact same co-lead position* the leadership STILL decided to pay the female less…

I suggest you look up what “tokenization” means to understand the context. Actiblizz cynically tried to fit multiple marginalized identities into a single PR-stunt appointment, then treated her like shit.

On a positive note, she lasted two months longer than all other gay Asian-American female co-lead’s in the company’s history.

Oh, there’s that other shoe...been looking for that for a couple of weeks now.

The plot thickens....predictably. I don’t think one human on earth bought that she was doing anything other than lip service in that tweet, likely due to some pressure like her severance being held over her. At this point, I dunno if Activision/Blizzard will ever be redeemable, even with a fully replacment of it’s…

I had a manager years ago that tried making fun of me for going to play video games. I had to remind him that I was going to the home I own where my wife and child live, driving in a car I paid off to play games. I asked how is apartment was and how rough the dating scene had become. He did not have a response oddly…

As someone who spends at least a little time each week playing video games and watching porn, it does my heart good to know that I’m a disappointment to Josh Hawley.

It’s mindblowing that a guy who quit his show because he felt the audience was laughing with the racism and not at it has now thrown in his lot exclusively with the people that drove him to quit in the first place.

That he quit as one of the most celebrated comics of his era, and returned to comedy as generic boomer…

Yeah I’d give Dave a bit of leeway on the jokes. That’s not to say they aren’t offensive to people. Heck I watched the special and at times looked at the audience and could tell from their faces they were, at the very least, unimpressed with them. That’s jokes; some work, some don’t.

God bless them.

I don’t blame it on both parties, the developers/publishers or the customers, I blame it on GOG.

Yeah, this is a shitshow. It’s especially worrying because the no-DRM policy is the ONE reason to buy games on GOG and not Steam since Valve’s ecosystem, for all of its MANY flaws, has several “luxuries” that are simply nonexistent on CDPR’s storefront. It also has better and more frequent discounts.

Just a small correction, the Zone version is an homage to the original created by another artist named Minus8. Wanted to make sure they got their credit as well.
