I’ll buy that, but still, he is less small-folk than he is country club rich kid that happens to be lovable.

stand-in for the smallfolk

Whenever I hear about some notorious celebrity fuckup trashing their rented mansion, I always wonder who their landlord is and why they allowed a known lunatic to stay in their incredibly valuable property. Is googling your applicants a violation of the Fair Housing Act or something?

Your argument is essentially “video games aren’t art because I said so.” The Supreme Court disagrees. Gaming isn’t taken seriously by academia? Why are there so many journals, professional organizations, and conferences dedicated to the study of gaming? Why do major universities have programs solely dedicated to the…

Stardew is $15

I can start a fucking car. Or replace the battery, change a flat tire, swap a fuse, replace a head/tail light bulb, etc. Simple shit is easy. If I’m going to a mechanic it’s something intensive like brakes, the engine, air conditioner, etc.

Adam LaRoche isn’t like other professional athletes.

Its a giant social experiment.

“fuck you, I made this”

Quite frankly, what people who aren’t the developers want doesn’t really matter as long as A. people are still playing, and B. people are getting what they paid for.

Funny how watching people react to Rust’s changes in character creation actually ends up cementing the justification for those changes.

The gif alone grabbed my interest. The character sprites are very reminiscent of Harvest Moon, and boy did I love Harvest Moon.

I haven’t seen one valid argument against the developer’s choice to do this. People seem to content to just keep complaining and running their mouth without actually saying anything of worth.

I mean, there are plenty of folks in *real life* who are irritated with what gender they are

See, I understand where you’re comming from, but here’s my take.

Alternatively, if it doesn’t change gameplay in any way, why is it such a big deal to you? You’re still able to play the game and the mechanics are no different. It’s no different than GTA V campaigns where you have to play as one of the 3 designed characters, except this time you character is designed as you sign up…

They’re saying tough shit.

I totally agree with you and Newman’s statements. Developers should be able to create their vision without having to cater to certain people.

While I understand why some players are irritated with the permanence of the change, at the end of the day this is what Rust is. They lived through race, penis size, and much more, and games in Early Access are liable to change.

Just when I was starting to waver in my support of fan input after recent events, I’m glad…

I always love little tidbits like these, thanks for sharing!
