Ah yes, the "1v1 me brah".

Heh, Lees has been pretty amusing through out all this. Not too sure the idea that distrusting "journalists" like Walker or him (I suppose he considers himself one) means that you are automatically cool with psychos sending death threats is quite solid.

What are you playing now?
Bielefeld won the Euro Cup, 7-5 over Inter, any joy I have at that evaporates as I know the game let me win. Still playing Diablo 3 currently, rather addictive to hold out hope I'll get a legendary - got good luck as I manned up and took on T1. Also TLAD sucks, not much to do. Still think the core game was the best, TBoGT a close second.

Yeah, good thing Walker didn't surprise himself with his own questions.

https://archive.today/CeWxy RPS with a predictable response. I do love articles that have an author written Q&A in them, heh.

Does this really matter that much though, in terms of how this started. Clearly is a PR war and was so from the start. Quinn is an irrelevance now it seems. Also what are we complicit in ?

What took her so long? Once again its the victims fault right Sarex? Eh ? How on earth did you get that ? It is weird to have evidence for three weeks and just sit on it TW : Conspiracies https://storify.com/strictmachine/gameovergate

So apparently Quinn has posted logs that this is all a 4chan conspiracy. Which I suppose changes stuff.

Well, supposedly chased out anyway. "Exclusively", I dunno - Fish got chased out and this kind of abuse seems to be commonplace for anyone of any note on Twitter (it's the new Usenet!). It's funny to me, this whole drama - Cheong's the best so far.

Ah, 'helicopters' in GTA4, say no more. I play on PC and those are just awkward as hell to use

Which mission ? Also L2P Scrub. Right now powering Arminia Bielefeld through the Euro Cup. Rather amusing as the game refuses to recognize that my team exists in the voiceovers about the standings (name is a hint). Also the AI's BS cheating makes me think the game was just modified off of NHL 2014.

Tend to ignore anything from Kotaku, so will have to read that. Plenty of articles out there with that hand wavey tone though but I am rather skeptical of what explanation and solution they could come up with. They certainly want to talk about people full of hate on one side in a lot they have read (well or a subset of or a perception of one side, at any rate). Amusing true, just as the other side is fine with their behaviour as well - and not everyone angry at gaming 'press' is a 'neckbeard' necessarily. It's enjoyable watching them all hack at each other, SJWs doxxing people, MRA types being outraged at generalizations. Sadly the outcome will probably be in not much getting destroyed. Maybe Fish will go full on insane and run around Montreal in his underwear screaming or something.

Just how I see it defined, you're forcing a loss of something. You could say you do lose your identity though, at least in terms of the entries in databases which the system has to treat as truth. Ah well, much ado about nothing.

SQL Triggers are dangerous, and should come with warnings. A relatively new concept to me, only noticed it maybe 18 months ago, stupid Reddit. It is a bit weird to see it in some cases, so mocking it's overuse is fine. I guess those jokes were a trigger for you ?

Well you (whoever the 'we' is) can call it whatever you like, doesn't really make it fit. Invasion of privacy would be best, privacy is still invaded and abused when the photos are shared. I suppose it is piracy as well, as they are distributing content without the owner's permission.

Well it doesn't make much sense to call it theft to me, the items are still in the people's possession (well, assuming the cloud service didn't retain it against their wishes). Identity theft might make sense, at a point your identity no longer belongs to you as the criminal's messing around with things

Stealing digital things ? Nah. Definitely is an invasion of their privacy, people went nosing about where they shouldn't
