Figure of speech, I assume. Though Fish lost vital details in a "hack" like his SIN, financial details - so that might be it. It's a rather entertaining flame war basically, produces some funny gems.

What's hard to understand that people here might do differently to you and not rack up a lot of gamer female acquaintances ? It is rather unremarkable though, as the quote indicated, to meet people in an environment where you'd expect them to show as opposed to surveying a subway car.

Well, it's like being a sports fan that watches a match occasionally or one that knows every player in the squad and watches every match. Rather meaningless distinction, for sure, but it is what it is - a level of involvement.

Well, from some things I read about id Romero was a bit of a drama queen. Fittingly one could compare Quinn and what she's alleged to have done with Case and what people say about her. Should look up and see what Smart is up to, these days.

I'm just curious. Where on earth did TrueNeutral say any of that? Is that some Anti-SJW knee-jerk reaction you just added to vent? Or did I miss a really interesting discussion by not reading this entire thread? I never wrote he said that, though, hope that satisfies your 'curiosity'. Plenty of places I've read commenting on this article have been pretty deluded enough to assume what I wrote above though, strange people these days. But was just a general sense of everyone else shrugging at this. Not seeing why he would be 'concerned' about something as trivial as women playing games, though. Game market is way larger than when I was younger and more accessible, heh, so follows there'll be a lot of women playing these days than before, at least in PC anyway - I imagine were more console ones back then and now.

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.

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..

Hope any of you in California weren't affected by the quake.

Miss the likes of Romero and Derek Smart

HURR DURR FEMINISM IS TEH EVULZ Easy there SJW

Reported

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

"Literals. Such as numbers and strings" I have no idea.

Meant Bruce and his low SJW-morale

Just don't have a meltdown like Phil Fish did again - http://imgur.com/uDIaZkE Funny guy, that Fish.

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

Wonder what held up the idea of just ensuring the trucks are inspected properly and then let them on their way

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

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.

Hm, had forgotten about Wasteland 2. Was a bit surprised a scene group would care, but then again, gotta crack them all, etc.

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.

Amazing, the Pillars of Eternity beta was pirated.

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

How does it worsen the situation ?
