Journalism and sexism in the games industry
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.

Police arrest, attack reporters; order reporters NOT to cover protest. IN UNITED STATES.
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.

Is this harrassment ?
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.

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.

Dev sends death threat to Valve CEO, has game removed from STEAM
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.

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Replace 'always' with 'nearly always' and it's probably true though. I don't know why men are more prone to violence, but history does seem to bear this observation out. Making a list of exceptions does not really disprove the point. And she is troll baiting as usual, this is what she does for a living now, and she's good at it. Got you lot to respond didn't she.

Wasteland 2
Well, it's allways going to affect your ability to fire twice if you have say 12 action points. You would be able to burst fire twice every other round. I believe the crit multiplier for assault rifles was 2. something ?. and headshot is 2.0. The aim penalty is also pretty severe. Only really suitable for big targets.
