Add me on WeChat and we can talk about this in more depth.

Yeah came here to say this. What actual censorship looks like, instead of, I dunno, making an internal decision to change card art to show less sideboob.

It sucks in the U.S. if you’re a fan of personal liberty and civil liberties right now but please don’t state or imply that things are as oppressive here as they are in China. That’s a bit much.

See, gamers: this is an example of a developer backing down because of actual problems brought on by censorship.

Disagree. They’re getting _better_ at it with new tech.

What you did there, I see it. 

Nothing is happening in China, this is how it’s been for decades.

This is either deeply meta or you hit send before you were done.

Oh yeah, “playtest without sprinting” is a big one too. Did you know a lot of people, maybe even most people, don’t always hold down the “run” button 100 percent of the time ? I didn’t know that until I built a level thinking all the jumps were “easy”...

A lot of this comes down to a more fundamental point: People don’t playtest their levels enough. If at all.

When you create a level, unless you’re deliberately doing a troll level, you’re going to be able to run through it very easily by the time you’re done. Unless you’re deliberately thinking about it you’re not…

I think there are enough people out there who wish they could play a modern Donkey Kong Country style game that don't own a Nintendo console. I haven't played Yooka-Laylee because of how poorly it was received but surely they've learned their lesson this time around.

The Iron Bank sees all kinds of real estate opportunities. Fleabottom becomes ‘FleBo’, and the coffee shop up north where Dany got her cup two weeks ago opens up a southern location.

This mythic suffering-artist bullshit is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and enables industry practices that exploit people’s enthusiasm for the field.

All geek culture is hyper capitalism as a lifestyle. We are defined by products. Capitalism at its core is exploitation. Thus our weabishness creates and continues the situation. 

Well, if she loses both, she can’t burn anyone, at least... :)

This is the AV Club, not io9.

... Aw, it’s not for you. It’s more of a VOLANTIS idea! 

My bet is by impersonating a charismatic stranger arriving in town to build King’s Landing’s first MONORAIL!!!
