Steam now has Paywall mods
Well, it's worked well for Valve but with games proper

Looting and Rioting in Baltimore
Yeah, expected as much in response, though at this case I'm not sure the failure is completely external to them. Well, they're just digging a pit for them to wallow in in the future, I guess. Heh, hopefully the Baltimore mayor gets turfed at the next opportunity and that with the Guard out things calm down. In the lighter side of things in Baltimore

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
I said that was bad ? Personally, people getting emotional over polygons is very weird to me, but to each their own. It doesn't bode well for people who like games as they were, newer gamers seem to be difficulty averse (remember the article a ways back about games being inaccessible to those who suck ) But someone thought it was a casual v. non casual one that she was on about, when it wasn't.

Well, he wouldn't be a writer if he was not verbose. Not really sure there is a problem, games that resolve conflict in ways other than weapons do exist.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
More accurately: there was a description of a certain subset of gamers, there was an (arguably weird) assumption that people outside gaming equate gamers with that subset of gamers, and some readers made the (arguably weird) assumption that the description was meant to characterize all gamers/all hardcore gamers/whathaveyou. Sure, she was being very back handed about it, but I could see where the punch is, add in context of her attitudes and opinions and it isn't that unfair to her. She wasn't heralding casual gamers so much as ones wanting experiences and deep emotional content or some crap like that, if I recall.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Yeah but was some weird assumptions of what the non-casual gamers are like. But then again it was written by someone who slams people as nerds when the industry was built by those, so it is of questionable worth as is she. Irony in this thread is improving!

That's an impressive dodge there.

Some sort of irony about this post.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
I expect people to have some empathy and compassion. So people need to post some obvious stuff like "That's bad" in response to that, then ? Her missing the Navy SEAL meme was a bit funny, though. Just seems late to the party of Twitter abuse, it's not as if she is somehow special at this point.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Liana K got a bit of hate for not having an opinion about Calgary. Reading some anti-GG sites some people really like to lay into her for trying to not be a zealot in the whole thing. GG just tends to spew bile at the other side, after all it is in their interest to be welcoming to neutrals I think, more than anti-GG who have some that really buy into this being a crusade against evil or something like that. But as with all of this, nothing fits all as none of the parties involved are really a group in a proper sense. As for Wheaton's tale of woe, that's pretty much old hat and er, what kind of 'love' are you expecting ? She doesn't read here, after all, heh.

Can you see if both RAM sticks are good, in another PC or something ? Barring that that sounds like the motherboard has a fault

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Hm, for the latter one that tends to be an anti-GG thing, they hate people who are trying to be or seem to be neutral. Former though, it does seem that way, but again that is both sides (see above). Of course, to me it seems more like normal internet jackals rather than anything so grandiose as a hate group (maybe Mourinho can use this to label people who hate his club :lol)

980Ti is out next month it seems, late in the month though. Though I doubt that will press down 980 prices. Might as well buy my stuff now, before the CAD gets worse.

Russia declares war on memes
Well, I suppose you could say that is true, laws are for arseholes as they are aimed chiefly at behaviour of said group. That would be stretching the 'for' a bit beyond the commonly understood usage though.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2015]
I'd heard Vigo was in the game. I guess the best ending will get you all 3, heh. Triss is trying to help you get back your memory, so that's a mark in her column - she is Yennefer's friend after all.

Well it is, at least the people I think he's referring to. Not everyone is who concerned with social issues is a SJW, after all.
