I hear you! As a dad gamer with a full-time job I get like an hour a day max for gaming. Any game that requires me to “git gud” or promises to be infuriating is off the table.

I would love to play Elden Ring. But to save my sanity I must pass. As a chill gamer, any game that is infuriatingly difficult sends me into a rage (especially dying over and over again) and I am at the point where any kind of rage has no place in my life. Goosfrabah bro!

Maybe because being politely outraged didn’t fucking do anything and the world is being literally ruined for every creature but, possibly, ourselves? We’re going to literally drown millions, if not billions of people or at least their former habitats, because we were politely objecting to bad policies in the 20th…

I felt the same way. I’m curious how your second viewing goes tomorrow.

I felt better after my second time. Better in that I was less deflated and less unsure how I felt. I was not filled with excitement and curiosity and a desire for more star wars.

Rogue One did that. The Force Awakens, which i was pretty lukewarm on…

Do take the time to read the entire memo including at least including a glimpse of the references. The memo is PRO-diversity and even explains why everything should be read in the context of a set of distributions with greater differences (deviations) between the same gender population than between woman and men as…

Which one? Sexual dimorphism?

Choosing “screed” already dismisses it as angry and crackpot, before you even get to the rest of the commentary.

You’ve hit the nail right on the head here, Kaz.

Reading these comments, there’s the predominance of such comments as “racists always use such arguments to hide their racism” - which is actually a generic response that can be used anywhere, it’s really just a variant of “anyone who attempts to refute this argument is…

You have to fall in line with the “progressives” today or prepare to have an army of virtue signalling sheep come after you!

We’re done with being open to different perspectives and political viewpoints? That’s a genuinely terrifying thought.

Fail. Those facts continue demonstrating their veracity, which is why they didn’t need to outlaw opposing views. Your nonsense can’t withstand scrutiny, so you apply censorship and persecution. If your ideology were correct, you’d be lining up to overstay your visa in a flourishing Marxist Moscow, Pyongyang, Phnom…

Smug opinions such as yours gave rise to a Trump presidency.

Summarily dismissing the screed as being “anti-diversity” is exactly the problem it was outlining. Ms. Conger, it’s difficult to have discussions with people that prefer to affix labels out of some misguided sense of moral superiority. Listening to other perspectives, whether you agree with them or not, is just part…

The 2nd system has exactly the same stuff as the 1st, and the 50th.

“Yes. The American Civil War is not the only civil war. But its generally the only one Americans think about.” So Americans are self centered and only think about themselves? You said it not me.

Sun Microsystem created Java with the intent of making it available for the public, but overseeing its development direction. (Just like Sparc processor architecture. Or what Google is doing with Android today). I worked at Sun, when Java was created. The fact Oracle tried to make it proprietary is in violation of the…

Corporations have no reason to change at all because, quite frankly, boycotts are a failed tactic nowadays. It needs a lot of people, and you cannot count on “a lot of people.” Nor did I ever suggest a game must be catered to a particular person or group of people, so not really sure why you (apparently?) think I did.

Microsoft looked at the PC market and said “Hey this platform that we’ve been developing the #1 operating system for for the last 25 years, looks like it has the largest install base of any gaming platform. Let’s continually release distribution services that fuck them over.”
