The Society of Professional Journalism got a panel together to discuss the failures in covering Gamergate and other leaderless movements and how they can do better going forward.

Supposedly it was expected and measures were taken preemptively so it wouldn't be too disruptive.

http://www.pcgamer.com/hatred-review/ Volo I see your game Hatred has been released...as expected it didn't score very high I was interested in it until the reviews started hitting and it wasn't just the subject matter people were objecting to. I'll give it a shot when it hits super cheap.

Dragon Age Inquisition isn't available on Steam, sadly. I would have preferred a steam version.

What Mods are you using? I am interested when I start playing DA:I I had a bunch of NPC appearance tweaks, so everyone isn't so shiny, one that changes the loot table to add more crafting materials and schematics to loot drops, and a store in Redcliffe that sells higher tier crafting materials. There really isn't much in the way of mods for it due to the file formats or something. And a lot of the mods named in top mod lists are no longer available. I believe the "Softer Cassandra" mod was taken down because the guy was being harassed by SJWs for daring to alter a strong female to make her more attractive. 1. Does that actually prevent updating when you try to a launch a game that has an update available for it? 2. Where is that option? There are no options for "updates": there are the "downloads" options, but there's no option like you suggest that I can see. Origin>Application Settings, scroll down to Updates, uncheck "Automatically keep my games up to date" I don't know if it prevents it from trying to update on launch, but launching in offline mode does.
-
Exactly how did you do that? I thought that option had been removed and the only three update options were: Always keep this game up to date Update only when you launch High Priority - update this game before all others Unless you play offline, my understanding was that one of those options is going to trigger. If there is a way around that, please share. I've lost a ton of EUIV time when Paradox redid the world map. Went into the options for updates and turned off automatic updates. Was a blanket option for all games, not an individual one. On Origin too.
-
I think it has something to do with the mods I was using. I turned off automatic updates so it doesn't happen again. Hopefully when the repair finishes I can try loading a different save. Edit: Finished the repair, game crashed to desktop before getting to the menu. Downloaded new version of mod manager, did a new merge, worked and loaded my game. 3 hour ordeal resulted in success, now I can go to bed knowing I can play tomorrow.

Dragon Age Inquisition updated last night and broke my savegames. Looks like 80 hours of progress lost.

Saw Avi Arad was a producer. Guess he'll have to add a blue bracelet to the red one.

I wish Blizzard would do a proper single player RPG set in the warcraft universe.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
Oerwinde replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
It struck me as a kind of wanna be Firefly with a female Mal. That's not a bad thing, it's a pretty decent show (it and Dark Matter are better than most of the stuff Syfy has put out lately.) It was created by the same person who created Lost Girl (which I'm annoyed they split the final season in half, and the second half isn't being shown until 2016, but that's neither here nor there.) I don't get what Showcase is doing with their original series. Lost Girl and Continuum were their top rated shows and they've treated them like crap -

I like the characters of Dark Matter better, and the world of Killjoys better. -
The other ones didn't really either. It was just the regular maps preceded by text to explain why you were there.

Amy Adams only wins as Lois because Margot Kidder's Lois comes off as kind of incompetent, and Kate Bosworth was just terrible. Erica Durance blew all three of them out of the water on Smallville, one of the only truly great things about that show. Were I to cast her for a movie now my first choice would be Rachel McAdams

Once DS9 gets into the war with the Klingons and the Dominion invasion it becomes the best Trek hands down. Though season 4 of Enterprise was still damn good. Minus the finale. -
First debate was last night. You can tell Macleans wasn't used to hosting a televised debate, usually the major networks(CBC, CTV, and Global) team up to host, but Harper wanted none of that this time. I only caught the first 20 minutes or so, but supposedly Green party leader Elizabeth May dominated, and was largely considered the winner by audiences, but all other leaders claimed victory and May isn't included in any but the Consortium debate (the major network one). But Harper and Mulcair have both now said they won't attend.

I liked him on Eureka -
Yea, I just caught that myself on the website. It's easy to forget that the new consoles are basically Athon + Radeon PCs that I don't suppose take as long to port as did the previous generation of RISC based consoles. The Dragon Age franchise has been moving to more of a console priority anyway. DA:O was ported to consoles, DA2 was developed concurrently, DAI was ported to PCs.

I know someone who saw it on Monday and the verdict is that Corman FF was better. The Corman one got Doom right if I remember right.

So Fantastic Four is currently sitting at 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. Major criticisms include bad script, bad direction, and the dark tone being completely out of place for the characters. Rumors are now swirling that Fox might try to trade the f4 rights back to marvel for the X-Men TV rights.

DS9 was my favorite Trek series. -

The writers try to force you to like Wesley. He buggers off to Starfleet Academy for a couple seasons before coming back though -
Io9 did an article about how there are too many white people in movies and the most liked comment on the facebook post is "**** off io9" I see more and more like that every day. People are getting sick of it.

I see he was using literally in the figurative sense
