Conversely all that stuff youre considering questionable is loved by people other than yourself, so at least you know AEW has a diverse audience. 

Im gonna say it has something to do with the money people being put directly in front the decision making if blizzards history is any indication of greater trends. Passionate people and skilled designers can self manage alright and pop out great games, but once the money people are involved... Everything starts to…

Can you guys try and hit up gamestop to find out what this is going to mean for their release bundle preorders that included this game? They really gonna ship a incomplete bundle and tie everyone else to preordering a game included thats not gonna come out for 3 months?

Djwheat, the “Director of Creator Development” at twitch once doxxed one of your own interns, who then got death threats, and never apologized. And youre surprised that the company he still thrived at has a culture problem? Kotaku could have broken this story years ago if anyone had the guts to take on twitch. 

My money is on the competitive scene been started by young people with no oversight, and the proclivity for the tournament organizers and community leaders to overlook shitty behavior in order to have big names at their tournaments. A decade of “oh insertplayername is a trash fire, but he brings the competition” has…

Most of the perpetrators have been in the scene since they themselves were minors. I’m more likely to believe the culture surrounding the “top players” has trained other up and comers to become predatory. There hasn’t been a case yet of “24 year old dude gets good at smash to prey on minors”. But top players have been…

In stores, sure. Not many online retailers tho.

Just gonna leave this here. 

Interesting. No mention of the fact that years ago, he faced allegations of sexual assault that people quickly forgot about him after Will Wheton retweeted his non-apology self defense? So people have known hes a garbage human for years? 

Im hype for this. With no release date on the horizon for Inazuma Eleven, this is the next best thing for sure.

The game and its developers could really care less as far as “Thats what you get”. Its only the players and community that lose out. 

I actually agree with him. They are dope, well made, and individually are fun experiences. But also remove my sense of immersion from the rest of the game, and feel like they remove the opportunity for in canon and in universe characters to be explored.

It feels a little... safe? To me? After How wild they went with Origins and Odessy, i was hoping for a little more punk rock and a little less opera. But im a huge norse mythology buff, so any new adaptation of my favorite gods will get my money.  

Hmm that is a fair aspect I hadn’t considered initially. I would still state the my my initial assertion is not unsual. But I will concede it may not be an option for the author.

Right, and by controlling the stimulus im exposed to i can control the reactions im prone to. Were on the same page there. Which is why i initially in my post suggested he stay off the pages where people are sharing the videos of ridiculously over modified towns. Hense removing that stimulus that instigates his…

If you say so. I dont need nsfw filters to not watch porn at work. 

What youre describing “as changing ones personality” i just describe as self control. But hey, ive been in therapy for my whole life. My relationship with my behavior may be far more clinical than most people. I also dont call it a privelege. Its the product have having to adapt to situations in order to survive in my…

Literally the last writer i care about besides Fahey, on their way out. What a goddamn shame. Fuck the corporate culture thats fired or forced out the diverse voices on this website.

Also its literally what the author of the article is doing. But rather than using a personal block like self control, is using an artificial block that prevents other elements that he isnt deliberately avoiding. 

If i remind myself to, yes. I dont go intense at call of duty, because i know i started getting frustrated if i start getting competitive in that kind of game. People adapt to situations to enjoy them better all the time. Its actually pretty common.
