Meshugger

Hohohoo, this gets even better, Chris Kluwe (the NFL guy that called GG pissbabies and such) tweeted this about the IGDA chairman: https://s3.amazonaws.com/upload.screenshot.co/a650948cee Who favoured it? Well, no other than Kate Edwards, the executive director of IGDA https://media.8chan.co/gg/src/1416642904928.png After all, this kind of blocking is completely warranted. I mean look what the guy has done https://media.8chan.co/gg/src/1416646368785.png https://i.4cdn.org/pol/1416642792303.png Monday will be quite interesting.

The guy should get a lawyer. Blacklisting is an illegal offence in most countries, and certainly is in USA. RogueStar is veeery contrarian and aggressive, one slightest "ironic silly insult" on twitter and he goes mushroomcloud mother****er on them. I still remember the rage the guy spouted on one of Sargon's streams, when he talked about burning, not only Gawker but all of yellow media, to the ground, it was like he was channeling Vhailor from PS:T. But i cannot help to find it interesting they shut out one of the most verbal pro-GGs because he is completely independent.

Blaspheme! anywho, am gonna sound like a broken record here for a sec, but our only genuine concern is tac cam stuff. most other complaints we has seen is bug related (which we will not need worry 'bout in six months when we eventual purchase) or trivialities that the complainers has largely ignored in other games. our recollection is that shady sands is playing the game with a gamepad on his pc, which is passing odd as bio did insist that the game were initial developed for the pc. many/most peoples seem to feel the game is better suited for console controls, which does give us pause but not a real reluctance as far as eventual purchase. however, we were wondering if you were annoyed by the camera. in da:o, we pretty much played the game with camera pulled back as far as possible. even with the limited amount we has played the poe beta, we reflexively keeps trying to pull back the camera. am not wanting to play the game looking over our avatar's shoulder. so, any thoughts on if cam is as bad as many claim, or if is simple a matter o' awkwardness that initially comes with anything different or new? thanks in advance. HA! Good Fun! +1 Anyone heard of patching the tac camera and its respective controls? D:OS has spoiled me by now

Do they travel by black helicopters dragons?

One of the writers of "Gamers are dead" articles are quitting and going freelance. https://archive.today/4BFnU

In the dystopian future this game will feature a stamp of "questionable content" as the story of Mario & Pals contain tropes that might not be suitable for the justiceunawares. It's already got that. Damsel in distress, remember? Me dumb, me don't follow.

Link it again. This thread is approaching the speed of light.

I am asking these questions because 1 in 6 means that every sixth girl i ever talked to have been treated like Tuesday Weld in Once upon a time in America. That just sounds way too high, because that means roughly 1 in 6 guys have done such a thing.

What is a sexual act? For example in India a kiss can be considered a sexual act.

Dear potential rapists and victims. What are we classifying as rape here?

Don't worry, it's just your internalized misogyny speaking for your agency, m'lady. Now don't you worry now. I am a very nice guy, not unlike those other nerds, and i will now escort you and your fragile body to our HugBox 2014-convention, entrance-fee only 1450$ a-piece. No, no, it's not at all my priviledge, it's entirely yours. You have now control of your own body. Just sit down, and listen & believe.

Rape Culture

My country, Croatia. Plenty of similar cases. It usually involves a trial with minimal exposure to media, usually when there's anotehr scandal or breaking news to occupy the masses. The sentence is a bear minimum in a minimum security prison. As soon as the media hype blows over the sentences gets quietly reduced to basically nothing for good behavior and stuff like that. In other words, they guy gets out in a matter of a few months, tops. Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe drove drunk and killed another guy from the band Hanoi Rocks. I don't even remember him serving a day prison for that. //Edit: point being, it seems like rich people get of easy no matter the crime. Not just rape.

Why do I have the nagging feeling that neither of you have read the article in question? Of course I have. Rich celebrities get even away with murder from time to time. I have still not met a guy or a group that jokes about rape, blames the victim and pat each other on the back about it. But of course i mingle with industry professionals, not the entertainment industry.

Yup. Pretty much.

As someone who has been working in the energy industry since several years, i can tell you the following: - The rape culture as described by the article doesn't exist. Granted i have only travelled in civilized countries like Europe though. I have dined and partied with higher ups in multi-billion companies and nowhere have i encountered a 'culture' like they are describing in the article. Rape is always considered a barbarian and low act of cowardice. I suspect that the article have extrapolated the immature bro-dude attitude that you can see on some american teens in collage. - Costs and payments are payed in bonuses for sales and management. The highest CEO do seldom earn more than in six figures per year, but with the stock options and bonuses as a carrot it rises very quickly and at the same time can be nothing the next year. Or even worse, nothing at all if they have index-based wages. - The sales teams officially work 40 hour weeks, but in reality they work 80-100 with all the travels and extended meetings. One day they sell and negotiate in Quatar, the other day in Norway. They are always on the move for the next big thing; it's like a rush for them to hunt for the next sale. Many say that this is an artform in itself, eventhough the design engineers would like to strangle them for selling a product with ridicolous terms that they cannot deliver. Anyhow, these people are also payed in percentages of the contracts that they managed to land. Sometimes 1000$ per month, then nothing and finally 150k in one big swoop by the end of the year. I am surprised how these people have functioning families. - Outsourcing puts a big strain on knowledge building and team expertise. The customers always chase for the lowest bidder, which means that you have to deliver the same quality of german engineering, the disciple of a japanese worker, but with the cost of mongolian desert herder. Even if you try to make the customer understand that the more expensive option of highly trained experts is the better longterm option, they still have to rely on a quarterly based budget and will chose the option that is practically designed by kazachstanian plumpers willing to live in a broom closet since that is a damn luxury compared to what they had before. Who cares if the damn thing brakes down in 5 years due to ignorance, incompentence and straight up stupidity, that's a new contract for a new company.

*derp* forgot i posted this already. Ignore

If proven true...Goddammit Bill, you were one of the good guys!

Topical: http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9376232/free-speech-is-so-last-century-todays-students-want-the-right-to-be-comfortable/ The pop song in question is "Blurred lines" by Robin Thicke. I wonder how they feel about songs like this: I mean the lyrics are downright frightning!

Yeah, i am neither going to touch this until they fix the tactical camera and especially its respective controls. TB's video above really showed how cumbersome it is. At least for now i have Divinity: Original Sin to play.

I fell for this CBC article, minus the audio for that reason - http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2014/09/23/new-york-artist-creates-art-that-is-invisible/ First thing that came to mind after reading that link:

My point is that if games wishes to be art, then please try to excel to the classics. Anyone can do anything and call it "modern art".

Modern art is the thought process, it's the journey as well as the desitination. It has ironic distance to the notion of itself. It's not supposed to look technically impressive, or at least that's not a goal in and off itself. Of course this makes it very easy for it to appear like some giant elaborate hoax to cheat rich people of their money. I was at the Leopoldmuzeum in Vienna where most of the modern art was exhibited and....well Gustav Klimt painted incredible works of art about the subconsciousness, but the rest were pretty much pretentious and simple "art" (think of four bathtubs with a pool of blood in one of them hanged on a wall). I can't think of it as though-provoking, meaningful, profound, beautiful or anything really. Just simple things for simple minds. Luckily the museum down the road had Caravaggio's "The crowning of thorns", "The Madonna and the Rosary". Not *that* was something.
