Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
When I first googled the name, I thought it was Jim Sterling in drag and I was looking at an elaborate joke. As to the prevalence of MtF trans, I have no idea.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
Daredevil, all 13 episodes. Thought the very end was a bit bland, but otherwise a good watch.

Thoughts about turning PotD on in the middle of the game to maintain "Hard" difficulty throughout?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Matt516's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)To reiterate, IE mod. Console commands are enabled without disabling achievements. All of you should be using it.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Matt516's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)In my experience(sill fairly early), PotD is quite a bit up from Hard so changing the difficult could be what you need to keep a more consistent difficulty.

Should discussion about The Poem be ... censored?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Hogfather's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Nature does not have intentions, and the results are not any indicator as to whether or not something is natural. I think you are confusing nature with productivity. It isn't communism at all. That's a really bizarre sentiment. Although I could be mistaken I believe that the proper term for what Striker meant is cultural Marxism (Probably sans the tinfoil hat baggage.), although it's actually more akin to the fabled "Rules for Radicals" at least as they are understood on the Right. (I understand that Leftists don't view them in the same negative light.) Most communists I've had the pleasure of talking to hate the Frankfurt school because it's pretentious bollocks. Could be that they tend to be some flavor of libertarian socialist, rather than authoritarian marxism-leninism or third world fetishization maoism. It should be noted that leftist ideologies tend to splinter easily and come up with lots of names. No idea why that is.

What are you playing now?
Oh I open all books and click all chat options, I just don't ... read them with super concentration, since I just forget it all after the next combat or two. There was a couple of lore tomes that had stories I liked enough to focus on them enough to remember I liked them, but not enough to quote them or their titles even. You're an oddity.I really wondered why so much time would be wasting developing such in game lore that had no relevance to the main plot. I guess it's for people like you. I've read all the BG2 books at some time or another. History of the Dead Three was always my favorite - Jergal becoming tired of his godhood and giving it away to Bhaal, Myrkul, and...Bane?...via a game of seeing who can throw a lich's head the farthest or some such. Good times, I think it was rolling dice, but the only things I clearly remember are (1)Bane was the warrior, Myrkul the mage, and Bhaal the assassin or thief (2) Bhaal got terrible thirds and the other two got btfo (3)Malar shows up and misses out

Getting a bit bored of PoE. I find the writing generally good with some dry spots, but the combat is much too repetitive.

Nope. What I saw (in my quick skim) was a man who is paler than me and has a whiter name than me and because of this I haphazardly assumed him to be white. Although I was facetious in my post, he does indeed have “white-passing privilege” however knowing America and his background, who knows, he probably has been subject to race based discrimination. Ah, but privilege is based on social relations. A Latino in the SW US will not be considered White by people in his area and therefore in his social interactions will not possess the privilege of being considered White. Therefore I must conclude that any "white-passing privilege" Mr. Correria would have in Australia(where you reside, IIRC) will not be applicable to him where he resides and is void when considering his current situation. But we aren't talking about being discriminated against by society, we are talking about being discriminated against in a SciFi/Fantasy award contest. With this in mind, how does Mr. Correria's politics invalidate his claims? Would claims by an Anarchist(not an-crap neo-fedualist) or Communist be similarly invalidated for not conforming to a specific neo-liberal ideology?

Har-dee-har, playing with fire man. I can out SJ speak you any day.Observe: White privilege is not determined by how one identifies but by how they're identified. Privilege is based on social relations and those who are of or are perceived as part of the privileged group will have privilege over those who are not.White-passing privilege is REALWhite-passing privilege is REALWhite-passing privilege is REALSincerely, a poc.Have you ever been to the Southwest US? Because in that area Larry Correria: Would be identified as hispanic(or mestizo if you want to be correct) to anyone who has encountered those of mestizo descent on a regular basis. But this has little to do with being discriminated against on the basis of his political views in a SciFi/Fantasy awards event. Would said alleged discrimination be more believable if it was a female, African, or homosexual individual alleging discrimination for holding similar beliefs? He's hispanic not white. Hispanic is not a race. Mestizo is, and I figured it would be easier to use the more familiar "hispanic" to describe Correia as most people will use those words interchangeably.

He's hispanic not white. He's Transcracker according to certain ideologies. Good to know they're using the proper pronouns this time. An affluent white-passing hispanic right-wing libertarian male feels discriminated against on the basis of his political beliefs.Better? Interesting you feel the need to whitewash non-whites when they disagree with you. If being discriminated against on the basis of politics is what is happening, then why is his ethnicity, sex, or orientation relevant?

I think the expansion could help fix that by introducing enemies that fall into the dreaded, "hard counter" category. I think it needs more than that honestly. I don't know exactly what to do, but when I'm using the same tactics every fight something is wrong IMO.

Sadly, there is an element of gamergate whose view on freedom of expression stops when said view agrees with SJWs. I don't agree with that view at all, and it has caused me to question my involvement with this bull****. Whatever, PoE has combat that gets repetitive as hell and isn't really affected by a poem being changed to tell certain folks off.

Socrates’ criticism of democracy (i.e why its BS)
If Anarchy destroyed the State, Bob Saget wouldn't have been accused of raping and murdering a girl in 1990. Checkmate statist scum. Ps, private property in an anarchist world would be impossible to enforce without violating the idea of anarchy. If you kept the principle of private property, you would be creating a feudalist environment.

Baldur's Gate in PoE's engine
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Gwynbleidd's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)uh, they can't. in fact, no commercial entity trying to make a crpg has permission to do so at this point. this is in fact, the main reason PoE is not Baldur's Gate 3. I for one welcome diversity, and would actually wish this game to be even FURTHER from the DnD ruleset than it is. vive la difference! I was talking about a remake of the IE games, which need to use some DnD ruleset. Given the choice between 2E and another system, I would pick 5E because 2E is bad.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Hogfather's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)While I was playing PoE over the easter break, my flatmate was playing DA:I, he made a character that looked as much like himself as he could manage, then proceeded to try to sleep with all the female characters. You should force your flatmate to play something that isn't ****. Seriously, slugging through 40 hours of dull gameplay for e-poontang is pretty bad.
