Yes, overworking is an industry-wide issue, but I don’t think that’s really what she was referring to as sexism in the industry. (Although bad work-life balance may disproportionately effect women anyway, who are more commonly expected to be the primary caretakers of children, households, and the elderly.) She talks…

“Work to live” rather than “live to work” is something a lot of business don’t quite understand. And it’s largely an American thing when you look at the benefits, vacation time, and union strength of other modern nations, especially those in the euro-zone.

Wow, definitely kind of bummed.

I think the people investigating this were not very good at it... I mean, have you seen the stuff people have found on other games? XD Way more complex then this.

Yeah, but a fucking Kickstarter can’t hurt, can it?

Amazing how men are so threatened by a woman doing what a man has done for years. Doris Burke on College Basketball was a breath of fresh air. The women ESPN have used in the booth for college football are excellent also like Pam Ward. Note to all self appointed taste makers of what sports needs to be, shut the fuck…

I get that, and that’s cool. I certainly think that is a benefit to the game and forces you to be on your toes at all time. However, you can’t guard against server issues. If I lost a character I’d workerd hard to build to server issues, you’d see me buying a new screen the next morning.

I used to think the same, but after playing a Hardcore character this season I found that I had a blast playing it. It forces you to play very differently, where every encounter with an elite pack (even blues) is a potentially deadly engagement. It made the game fun for me again by adding a certain “Dark Souls” -esque…

I agree with all those statements, plus I found the menus interface more intuitive, and the fact that you can carry up to 60 objects without management makes the PS3 version eons ahead of the PC version. Pre-marking items as garbage for recycling or vendoring with R3? Priceless. Having missus playing with me on shared…

It’s really not all your progress, you mainly lose whatever gear your character was currently wearing + your levels 1-70. Everything in your stash, everything you’ve leveled or learned in crafting, + all your paragon levels are kept.

maybe you don’t play hardcore mode... but the idea of rezing a character in it for any reason feels wrong.

This is why I don’t touch Hardcore at all. Not going to put my character’s life in the hands of garbage internets or bad server issues. I don’t care how rare it is, it only takes ONE hiccup and you’re fucked through no fault of your own.

Losing a hardcore character sucks! But it happens. Roll a new one and better luck next time!

Yea, a lot of people keep saying it’s “Battlefield with a Star Wars skin”, when it actually isn’t. I’ve played the closed alpha for a few hours and it’s pretty awesome. The gunplay and sound design is really good.

I don’t know how this didn’t already exist on the internet (you guys are slacking!), but I whipped it up now as it seems like an appropriate reaction to this prequel.

I was merely adding to the chorus with a paraphrased line from the movie.

Ixnay on the wishing for more Genie. No Williams, no deal.

You mean like all the Tinkerbell “Fairies” movies where she’s literally a tinker fairy and goes on engineering adventures? Yeah those are pretty awesome, too bad they haven’t done much with the property other than the movies. I would kill for a Tink workbench for my daughter.

you hit the nail on the head - no Williams, no genie
