We contain multitudes. The temptation to laugh at Mojo Jojo is too much for my weak will to endure. I think having bad hair is a requirement for the pro-corruption crowd. It doesn't matter to the issues. However, I was suggesting a personal attachment, perhaps as part of an identity with one particular side of the divide. I realise it might be considered crude to bring it up. What I am really talking about is subjectivity, as in the different POV every human views the world with, which is of course completely inescapable.

Seemed plausible though.

Really... U sure ?

I was wondering about Briana Wu. Didn't she use to be a man. Just sayin', maybe that explains all the hyperbole. It's like she wants desperately to belong among this new wave of feminist developers. Not saying she can't belong, but maybe it's important to her personally to be constantly 'figthing the good fight', as it were. Even if that means picking a fight herself when there's nothing going on.

That was bizarre. I kinda wished the reporter had persisted. I mean he didn't walk away but tried to bully his way out of a question.

Reading the main stream media's (it's such a tired term) coverage of gamergate has done nothing to instil in me a sense that surely there are 'journalists' and there are, you know, old fashioned actual journalists - that those still exist. They barely even mention what was my main grievance the whole time that games journalists are in a symbiotic relationship to games publishers and PR departments and that it is therefore practically impossible for them not to be aware of one another's needs. Imagine a food critic who relied on revenue from the resturant he was reviewing to have a pay check every month. What would such a review be worth to anyone ?. At the end of the day the customers still need to know if the food is any good. There is going to be some kind of evaluation of that... The metaphor is getting long winded but you get my point. That's the stake I have in Gamergate. I had vain hopes that there would be some kind of groundswell of shame swept on game sites that would force them to change. Anita Sarkeesian, I wish her well in her career as a media critic, or whatever she is. May she sell milions of books, as long as I don't have to read them.

I'd just like to state that I in no way condone or associate myself with this statement. /rapidly backs away from Malcador Dont write stuff like that (Malacador). It's more potential work for the mod squad. Find some other way to

The traditional job og the hussars was to harry the enemy behind the lines. Surely they needed the extra edge provided by a ridiculous costume-uniform. Probably wouldn't wear that into battle though, what if it got damaged.

Crowd funding to write a book. mmm. I dunno, I kinda land on the side that if the book was going to be any good it would find a way to get written.

Hello Oby.

Apple stopped naming theirs after german tanks and went back to numbers didn't they ?

So it was one of them rhetorical questions then.

They got spooked when he moved and they should have been able to realise that they held every advantage and that there was time for another play. He wasn't going to run at them faster than a bullet. Missing leadership, experience ?. How do you make that decision in real time? It's not a turn based strategy game. They aren't trained to take shots like that. I'm not defending them either. It looks like a poorly handled situation. To me it doesn't matter whether 1 shot or 48 were fired, they should have tried to de-escalate the situation and they failed. Is this situation better if he's killed by 2 cops instead of 6? How do you make that decision in real time ?. By not getting spooked. Experience, leadership by someone in the group. He's not going to run at them faster than a bullet. There was time for another play besides yelling at him which with the dog and everything obviously had no effect.

Dude there are six cops there. Surely one or two could have attempted a non lethal shot. What's the downside.

Lots of young guys push eachother into talking to women, doesn't appear to matter what it's about or whether it ammounts to anything as long as you did it. I see a lot of men with bad one liners and no plan whatsoever beyond 'I'm the man because I can totally talk to random women on the street'. They need to learn better strategies and acknolwledge that it's not always better that you did it. I think we can assume that the majority don't want to fail or to be received as harassers.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..

Just sacrifice a few recruits to go push the button and have the rest of the squad standing by to run back. Easy.

It's like that eveywhere. Offer any kind of colegial utterance in a room full of strangers and they will assume that you are either insane or trying to sell them something. A cheerful lot us humans.

So who is Rosa Parks in this analogy. Gabe ?

Imagine an Xcom RPG though. That's a kickstarter for you.

It seems pretty clear to me that 'I AM GOING TO KILL GABE NEWELL' was an expression of exasperation not a real threat. STEAM probably have a policy they are following, and it makes sense to follow a policy every time if it has to do with death threats , that's kinda the point of having one. It's not unlike that guy who jokingly said 'just a bomb' when airport security asked him if he had anything to declare and then couldn't understand why he ended up on the no fly list. He got punished for being stupid. Nothing to see here, move along.

The long war. ...

Does Invisible War actually work. I was never able to complete it. No option for the last research after the capture outsider mission. Were they called outsiders ? the enemy bosses.

I couldn't get into it either. Have 2 hours on that and that's likely how it's going to stay.

Really now.
