Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
So basically they just used it as an excuse? Not very ethical, isn't it. I don't get what you mean. The HB's included a creator of a webcomic and were selling art at their booth, this is pretty much standard at most comic conventions. There are no rules they clearly broke, they did not shut a panel down(unless you consider politely offering an opinion disruption), and they did not harass other attendees of the con. The only explanation of why they were kicked out is that some people on twitter had a problem with their opinions and wanted them out. Kicking out women for having the wrong opinions does much more to keep women out of cons(and nerd culture at large) than allowing 5 women to operate a booth ever will. -

That is actually a surprising point. I didn't expect there to be so little effect from her pimping a "right" kind of game. Why? Gamers aren't their audience remember? -

Yes, but it was part of a joke where he insinuated that the opening to Disney's The Lion King was his birth. -

But one of them does do a webcomic and the booth was representing that. "Kotaku isn't the problem" -Kotaku -

How dare these women have an opinion not approved by a bourgeois hipster! -

The key is to be very vague about what you mean in order to avoid admitting you've said something stupid. In other news, the Honey Badgers, a group of women, were kicked out of the CalgaryExpo for gamergate art on display. The above was the evidence used to show that it was a plan to infiltrate a community they had been a part of for decades. The irony of SJWs getting women kicked out of a convention is also hilarious in a sad way. Advertisers for anyone in an e-mailing position. -
Sounds good. Fire Godlike Monk. Was born in poverty as the son of a farmer, had some success as a mercenary and now resides in Defiance Bay. Ashamed of his humble beginnings, and as such overcompensates by using big words and acting pretentious. I'll leave the name and gender up to you. Aumaua Barbarian. Brutal pirate who raided the coast before ending up shipwrecked near Defiance Bay. Quick to anger and engages in lots of violence, often ****ing up paychecks when temper gets in the way. Preferably female, name should be a nickname rather than a given. Probably should use Ruffian weapons, like sabre and pistol.

But they don't claim that gaming causes sexist attitudes, they claim that society causes sexist attitudes and media can affect people's attitudes, so therefore games can stimulate sexism that already existed. Of which there is no proof of either, just giving you guys a heads up in case you get in an argument and someone tries to weasel. Taking to task the non-argument "media affects people" is a good opening salvo I've found, also remember you are arguing from a position of strength when asking them to prove their claims if you claim not to have seen enough evidence to support their hypothesis. Anyways: https://m.soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/complete-answers-to-kotakus-titan-souls-questions Apparently Kotaku said some **** about TB so now the guy responds. -
It could be as bad as Blade 2.

Chewie is so vain. smh.Aside, according to the Chewbacca wiki page, he's already 200 yo when he joins up with Han! I don't think anything besides movies are canon anymore.

I considered doing that, but IMO part of BG is having to assemble your crew. Different strokes I suppose. -

I do manual install as well, with the pdf as a guide. Takes me about 3 hours, with level 1 npcs and SCS being about a third of the time. -

I ran into all of those on my first playthrough. Thinking of firing it up again as a BGT-BWP, going to do either a F/M/C or F/M/T(possibly with a kit cuz I'm a cheater). A bit put off by the time it takes to do a BWP install, but perhaps I'll find the time when I'm done with PoE.
