Meshugger

Zoe Quinn, developer of the indie game Depression Quest had sex with a games journalist, according to a butthurt ex-boyfriend. This led to accusations of nepotism and unprofessional behavior (also ****-shaming). That's about the whole story, really. More to it than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-51PfwI3M And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKmy5OKg6lo They are all degenerate hacks and hypocrites, and above all, they completely lack any integrity.

Who needs this? Considering the sexism in the industry, the industry does. Inclusion and diversity only help. Care to elaborate on the sexism part? Is it worse than the pharmaceutical industry, mining, engineering or any other sector? How do you measure it to begin with, what are the metrics? Why is inclusion and diversity necessary in itself? What instrinsic value is there to divide humans in a sector into different classes and genders instead of treating them like persons?

Haha, oh wow. This is just getting better, video part two of this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKmy5OKg6lo

Or is it?

Nah, the only way to get banned there is to ****post, meaning spamming with images or trying to link to something completely illegal.

Not only have the press ignored and tried to silence this with articles removed, reddits deleted, twitter-accounts banned, but apparantly 4chan claims that she hacked her own tumblr-account as a honey-pot for them to raid (they didn't bait) and promptly resumed damage control. Heck, even the staff at the 'Codex are starting to get PM:s about the topic: How can i even go to sleep tonight? This is more interesting than try to guess who shot JR in Dallas.

But, but, my social justice! *sniff-sniff*

I do not know if this belongs in the feminism-thread or in this one. But here goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-51PfwI3M TL;DR-version: SJW-journalists and developers are completely corrupt, both ethically and morally. And the drama is sooooooooo juicy.

He guy pretty much pissed off all the leaders of the western world, so there will be a lot of political pressure to see the guy hanged. But I for one, hope for more these leaks, no matter what happens to Assange. All those tears of crying politicians, beaurocrats and diplomats fuels my life force.

Wearing flip-flips in NYC is heavily frowned upon.

I have friends in swedish academia, and i can tell that a very popular opinion is the something in the vein of 1) Israel as a current state must cease to exist 2) All arms on both sides are dismantled, no army is allowed to exist 2) A new federal, two state union is created, called "The holy land" or something 3) All jewish settlers are removed back to the "jewish" part of the union 4) All Palestinian refugees are allowed back 5) Jerusalem will get a unique status, think of the Vatican, with its own military force and administered completely by the UN When that happens, radical islam will crumble, ISIS will implode, democracy will spread through all the middle east and peace will be on earth. Those ideas might be unique to the Swedish intelligentia, i can't tell for sure.

It's good to know that Bester knows better about travelling in the US than those that have actually done it. Internet sure does strange things to people. For the record, as a scandinavian from the "civilized world", the americans was probably the most polite and welcoming people that i ever met. Probably the best drivers too, i have had more problems travelling in Sweden than in the US. No, Bester is either someone with Aspberger's syndrome, whose whole character lead to all kinds of issues, or he is a troll.

You are sure missing something. I didn't meet one single cop on my coast to coast roadtrip. I saw some of their cars now and then though.

I liked him in Good Will Hunting and in Dead Poets Society, and his joke about golf. R.I.P.

Still no consciousness yet though, a pity.

That was the hype.. most Movies do. I meant the hype, as in one of the greatest movies this year.

So you would say that you are ok with mediocrity and banality in video games?

Guardians of the Galaxy It was ok, as in it didn't suck and wasn't stupid. I don't understand what the hype is about it though.

...I thought that they stayed and are still trying to learn the language to this very day. (Really, who ever says 'käytännällöstelemälläänkinköhän'? i sure have never heard it)

Thank you!

How the hell does that thing work to begin with? It's like putting a bunch of pigeons in a car and they making it lift if they were all flying at the same time. Did i miss something?

While his jokes are a hit and miss, i am glad that he raises these kinds of issues.

I'll show myself out.

But, but, but if consoles are computers, then the glorious PC Master Race is nullyfied as a social construct as they are really the same....but, but, but that means that they do not hate consoles, but they have been hating themselves all along. Now gather around me children, and repeat after me: "There is no PC, only awesome button" "There is no PC, only awesome button" "There is no PC, only awesome button" "There is no PC, only awesome button" "There is no PC, only awesome button"

Yellow card Bester, yellow card for spazzing out. While i disagree with Bruce on almost everything, but even i did understand that he meant from the POV of a history-buff.
