  1. Waiting for the Glorious 2.1 patch before I return to (read:play for a bit then get bored again) D3. Crusader is pretty fun, feels quite tanky to play.
  2. So your anecdotal evidence trumps theirs ? Most are just not seeing this is heralding a new age of social justice aware games with female protagonists that check all the boxes to not be sexist, etc. I suppose if the majority of developers were women this might be a consideration, but consumers, eh..
  3. Hope any of you in California weren't affected by the quake.
  4. Miss the likes of Romero and Derek Smart
  5. HURR DURR FEMINISM IS TEH EVULZ Easy there SJW
  6. Reported
  7. Quinn also faked a doxing and her being the victim of a raid by Disney fans. Well that and complaining about nudes out there that she herself willingly put out there. So pretty believable she'd be sleazy to do that. Everyone involved in this can burn, but it's delightful entertainment. Fish hasn't killed himself yet, but give it time. Though in the end it will be spun as innocent female developer being victimized by nerds online. Walker, Kuchera and others will write scolding articles, and so on. Quinn will end up getting a lot of money out of this too
  8. "Literals. Such as numbers and strings" I have no idea.
  9. Meant Bruce and his low SJW-morale
  10. Just don't have a meltdown like Phil Fish did again - http://imgur.com/uDIaZkE Funny guy, that Fish.
  11. Ah, people want theirs used in that case. Most of the stuff I found identified it as a beta. Ah well, don't imagine such aspersions will get any grip
  12. Wonder what held up the idea of just ensuring the trucks are inspected properly and then let them on their way
  13. Well, I don't think many will take them seriously. Betas are supposed to be a little bit buggy. Tried playing it last night and it locked up and then crashed once so, that meets that
  14. It is their job, why is it bull to point that out ? Good for them doing what they're trained up and kitted out for. Good for you that you really like police and probably are of the line that they are heroes for putting on the badge each morning. I do suppose they warrant respect the same way you view the employee at the DMV, both are public servants (don't tell the police that though) and do their job. Just the article having an ex-cop with a one sided lecture with lip service to points on his own side was rather amusing. I'd say cop salaries, at least here locally, are pretty good - 100K+ with benefits and they tend to die infrequently (last one died as the hero forgot to buckle his seatbelt and was speeding..) and show up with overwhelming force (e.g. 8 cops for a drunk, 4 cops for an old lady shouting in her home). I think in the US last year 50 cops or so were killed in duty, from a search, rather than a car accident or a heart attack. Still, you'd think the police organizations near uniform mafia like behaviour or disdain for civilians (someone hasn't told them they are that) or militarization would be enough to cause a loss of respect for them.
  15. Hm, had forgotten about Wasteland 2. Was a bit surprised a scene group would care, but then again, gotta crack them all, etc.
  16. Someone brought up Eastern Europe as a bastion of good policing ? This is also in line http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/08/19/im-a-cop-if-you-dont-want-to-get-hurt-dont-challenge-me/ Even if the tone seems to be more on lecturing the public to give respect rather than indicating the police have to earn it or actually serve the public.
  17. Amazing, the Pillars of Eternity beta was pirated.
  18. How does it worsen the situation to have communities that automatically assume the worst about law enforcement? Heh. Well it is a fair question. In terms of public relations I doubt cops care much about what little people think of them. And the public will defer to cops out of fear rather than anything else but will defer. So not making much worse
  19. Yeah, there'll be more hand wringing SJW clickbait blogs and scolding articles. Other than that, things will change independently of this.
  20. Not relevant when you're looking at abuses of police and in this situation. I don't think the video was really meant as a slant at all police, in the first place, rather than the soldier-cop they should send to a warzone to see how he'd cut it. Even if you do the worst as a citizen and see the cops as Blue Mafia so ditch the 10% and the 90%, what do you lose ? You'll treat them the same way, just out of fear of them racking you up for some reason rather than, heh, respecting them for their noble work.
  21. Dealing with a client that is sending me screencaptures of emails rather than just forwarding me them. Strange people, we deal with. Planning to skip off work early to get started on my cleaning.
  22. Hm...no, I don't see why we should. Who cares if they deal with harsh crap that they sign up for ? If they can't hack it without becoming power tripping bullies, then they should find another line of work. Or perhaps look into joining up with OC groups. If they do good things, well again, that's their job, but not really relevant when talking about their abuses of authority or lusting for escalation. And how does that relate to this particular idiot showing brilliant control by aiming a rifle at someone to the point another officer had to be the adult and lead him away ?
