Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Heh, ok, so you're against condescension. Hm. Outside of Moosa there are some claiming CDPR are racist for this or espousing some white nationalism. And some of the harping over this trifle reaches that line. People love outrage, after all. Maybe Moosa will give some solutions, but not likely.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Well when you use a game as an example of the "problem" it is a negative thing against it. Is pretty ridiculous but people have become freaks that invest in a random NPC too much (if not then, erm, who cares?). Oh I did get a good laugh about how the game dehumanizes non whites, though. Implementation wise, would be nice to hear what is acceptable for CDPR to "fix" this. End up with a checklist I guess. You seem pretty butthurt about it, heh.

I guess it's a line of thought that all stereotypes are bad and you make people that don't match it feel 'less' of a member of that group (latter is BS to me, but I am trying to think up a reason ).

Predictable. Moosa even had a Twitter flounce to put the nails in his wrists for a bit. Good old Twitter CDPR can just release a quick reskin of a percentage of the NPCs to satisfy this crowd I guess. Nah, then they will complain no 'important' NPCs are non-white, hmm..

Disney lays off workers, makes them train their foregin replacements
Reporting for duty! Yeah, one shouldn't expect corporations to do the right thing, because... reasons. Regardless, I wouldn't hold my breath for legislation to fix this mess, because legislation is literally bought and paid for by the corporations it benefits. So I can't expect corporations not to **** me over, and I can't expect the Man not to **** me over. Hmm, that's nice. But not to worry, I'm sure that putting a piece of paper in a plastic box next year will totally change things this time. *thinks of puppies and sunshines* Putting brass in that steel container will.. (Not really, but that one liner feels natural at this moment)

Heh, my company played some game to show there were no acceptable Canadian candidates by trolling job sites and just using the resultant dross as proof (we did get some good ones but conveniently they didn't pan out) so they could hire foreigners. I hate dealing with these outsourced places though, insane turnover so the people become faceless and they seem to have come from degree mills.

Meant to be one of those 7.5 fl oz cans, perhaps. Good gimmick there, by the way.- Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Well, amusing doesn't mean guffaw worthy, mind you. But what was off-colour about the jab, there ?- Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Hopefully you survive the trauma. Was amusing and is a common dodge by those people on Twitter (can't expect much from that kind though )- Build Thread 2.0
Yep, why I didn't bother waiting (also had waited 6 months at that point so..). I may want to move up to 1440p some time, but space availability makes that not likely.- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2015]
Kind of a let down after Velen and Novigrad, quest line there is pretty short and the sidequests aren't all that grand for the most part. Is a fairly scenic region though.- Build Thread 2.0
Figures, just after I bought a 980 (ok, it's $200 cheaper than the Ti here)- Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Is it a problem if they're not there, though ? And practically - What kinds are needed ? and how many of them is acceptable ? what kind of role do they need to have for the game to not be 'problematic' ? \ Oh wait, this is 'faux shoehorning' concern according to Moosa and his ilk Which is a cheap dodge that doesn't want to think further down the line.- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2015]
Memory is shot, forget how she betrayed Ciri to the Lodge, but I know she did, heh. (Flipping around for this kind of thing is a weakness of ebooks) In game I thought she never told him about Yennefer - though that'd be an odd conversation to an amnesiac. Yen's ok in W3, but they play up the snarkiness a bit too much, she does boss Geralt around in the books but not to the abusive degree she does in quests here. You do get to tell her off a lot in Kaer Morhen as she is pretty much irritating everyone there. Huh, apparently there's a NG+ playthrough, or at least they left fragments of one in the game- Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
I....I agree. That has to be the first time. Polygon is gonna Polygon as usual: Bollywood cannot be Bollywood by the same logic. What problem would be fixed by this exactly? Oh never mind, it is whining by that Moosa fool. Yeah non whites are shown the door by Witcher 3.- Fallout 4 is coming!

That was a funny quest with Lambert.- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2015]
There's one involving her, rather short, you get it from Roche after a part of the Whoreson line.- Russia declares war on memes
Hm, might be interesting to watch to see what is so objectionable. Point for the sensationalist tile of the link, though. I guess it does depend on Russia 1's nature, CBC here is a state owned network but it's not too tightly held. - Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
