It`s a wild take, but bear with me on this: Maybe he should hold his fanbase accountable for their actions?

In such a large company, I’m betting someone literally jumped at, and voraciously argued for, the chance to develop such a conlang. There are some diehard language nerds that take this shit super seriously, and enthusiastically. Tolkien being just the most well-known.

Isn’t this just the continuation of Early Access and the industry-wide shift where now development happens in to and after launch?

Sometimes they stick to the schedule and 6 months is all it takes to get it to where it was planned to, as well as sufficiently penetrate their slice of the market they wanted it to.

Sometime…

I still think Sean Murray over-promising and pushing things that No Man’s Sky could have in the future as something that would totally definitely be there on launch as the most disastrous part of it.

I played the game on launch and it was pretty fun if you ignored all the hype surrounding it, if a little flawed. But a…

I don’t have a tablet. So that right there is a clear use-case for a Switch on a stand.

I think the confusion is stemming from the fact that the article is clearly talking about Chess as in the digital version of Chess, while being a little facetious in its slightly click-bait title, as if it were referring to the physical version of Chess. And you’re opening argument (and why people are getting…

I think OP is more in your corner than not. Not to put words in their mouth, but it doesn’t seem like you tripped over any of their 3 rules? And OP’s all for cultural engagement anyways. They were replying to me though, who took a harsher stance, so maybe that was what you were trying to tackle?

A minor point on…

There’s a difference between a white friend garbed in Kente cloth today, and a white friend garbed in Kente cloth during the peak of colonialism and the Rape of Scramble for Africa.

At some point, it becomes acceptable for them to utter the names of African authors (at some point Africans are finally allowed to be autho…

4. Is your current community/culture oppressing that community/culture?

Dunno if that’s a step too far, but that’s where I’ve been making my line. Because it doesn’t matter if this hairstyle/dress/food is actually stifling their opportunities or not, if your entire community/culture is actually stifling their opportunit…

She’d normalize the fact that white people can wear the hairstyle for sure. And other high-profile celebrities have done similar things to normalize ethnic cultural artifacts before, normalizing the fact that white people can utilize them, while doing nada for the racial suppression of said ethnic groups.

White people…

If Google acted like Apple, we’d be faced with an effective duopoly. They’re not though, so half of us still have a choice. Sucks to be an Apple user who are under an effective monopoly of what apps they can buy. Not the most egregious case, but the power disparity inherent in that (monopoly-ish) relationship is…

Monopolies don’t force you to buy goods or services. It just means that those goods/services can only be bought from a certain group exclusively. And no competition means no incentive to improve the product and all the incentive in the world in gouging consumers.

Nobody is forcing you to buy stuff for your phone, it…

You don’t see that question asked of white people do you? How does anyone want to be represented. Normally.

Especially in a way that doesn’t disseminate in to the wider culture to strengthen damaging stereotypes. Erasing trans people will do that. But so will making a caricature of trans people.

Sadly, any inclusion of…

Not trans (and someone correct if I’ve got it wrong), but I think its that people want that inclusive future, its just that by definition, the steps towards that future are unavoidably self-inflicting.

Now reread what you’ve just written, replacing every mention of Orc with an oppressed minority of your choice, and understand that there are people out there who would unironically make that argument. A lot of people. And that living in such an overbearingly racist society, any racist-adjacent material directly feeds…

Riot spends how much money trying to rehabilitate their image every year? Every time I start to get even slightly convinced to give them a chance, shit like this comes out and goes to show that whatever systemic fixes they’re trying out, the problems are intrinsic at the upper levels. Good god.

Stop.Staring.Into.The.Sun.

Eh, as a bad player, getting to the Gulag is pretty much game over now. There’s a little tension as you enter the Gulag, but as its a straight up fight at range, I’m dead before I’ve even got my cursor anywhere near their body.

At least before, you had fun trying to mind game someone, turn the corner, and have an…

Satire only works when the comment is so ridiculous people can’t take it seriously. Sadly a lot of people do make that comment seriously. Because the world is filled with shitty people sometimes. And some of them even backtrack massively when called out, “its just a prank bro”. So while it sucks, even after your…

Its a spicy take that I’m not sure I’m totally on board with, even if I understand it, as I completely avoid voice chat when possible.

But hot damn, major props to her for sticking to her guns. That’s the kind of force of personality you need when you’re trying to inject diverse thinking in to a culture. Even if…
