Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
This whole Sad Puppies thing is eerily similar to GamerGate. Journalists don't do their job and everyone part of Sad Puppies is a racist misogynist.

The ride never ends part 2. Tigger Warning! Contains one f-word. I'm not going to discriminate against the other letters by not mentioning them simply because they didn't start the word so here it goes: c, k, and u. I hope this pleases everyone and nobody is offended.- Twitter outrage over the "[spoiler]" quest

Don't worry, there's a new one: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/75505-twitter-outrage-over-the-spoiler-quest/ The ride never ends, right Obsidian?- Limerick edit thread
What C2B said. I'm actually okay with the new one. It's sassy.- Patch notes for 1.03

I'm offended you would think I'm offended.- Controversial Limerick Discussion
If a mod could be created to remove it, then certainly a mod could be created to add it back. So if mods are a solution, why is either option bad (the "put out" party would just have to apply the mod if they felt that strongly about it). I think similarly as McFeeb, those perpetually offended would simply start to complain about something else, maybe Durance.

There's a mod that removes the joke. If you want to censor your gaming experience you can. Why isn't that enough? Why do you need to censor it for everyone?- Pillars of Metagaming
It's only metagaming if you have this scene running on the background while you fight the bear. https://youtu.be/9ALOI63X_CE- Trevor Noah to replace Jon Stewart

http://bgr.com/2015/03/30/meerkat-vs-periscope-analysis-journalism/ A couple of days old news and while not gaming related I think it really shows the weakness of modern day internet journalism. It doesn't matter if your piece is truthful or accurate, only thing that matters is writing about the subject while it's "hot" so you stay relevant.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry

Big MT (Part 4, the difficulty of making friends or how to waste over month of game time) This update is going to be bit different. There's going to be nothing fun here. No funny texts under screenshots, just the soundtrack of my sorrow. Because the pain is real, guys. The pain is real. I searched far and wide to find a friend with whom I could conquer the dangers of the Big Empty, but no one liked me. They all hated me. Before every meeting I had hope. Oh, how I had hope, but that hope turned to despair every time. I could have even been the sidekick... Perhaps I always was. Surely someone would have joined me if I was the main character. Scroll down slowly and melancholicly for ultimate effect. Important! Click here for the soundtrack! Important!- Steam achievement for being backer not populating.

Sex is bad, mmmkay. It should give a shame debuff, which is there for the full duration of the game.- Pillars of Eternity Expansion/Sequel Wishlist

Big MT (Part 3.5, the greatest love story ever told) Sure thing babe, I just need to check one thing that totally isn't your home and then I'm coming to see you. Looks good so far. I think she might be my second soul mate. Yeah, she's the one. Remember kids, it isn't stalking if she isn't home.- 33 hours gone down the drain ((bug))

Big MT (Part 3, I'm the Test Runner) First I'm going to get the gun that disables force fields, because if there's something I have learned from my moms stories is when your brain gets stolen and there are force fields: your brain is going to be behind a force field. It's just the way of the world. What a nice, modern, automatized kitchen. I'm sure it is kitchen and not some sort evil dissection room of doom for those who fail the tests. Little grave robbing never hurt anyone, but if you're going to pick up whole coffins it is important to remember to lift with your feet and not with your back. The F is for Fantastic like my mom used to say. Just some dogs playing poker, right? Wrong! Not one dog is wagging its tail. This means they have been taught to lie and that's just too far. There are some things science should stay out off and lying dogs is where I draw the line. Now nothing can stand my way! Muahhahaa! Well, except normal doors, walls, mountain sides and, you know, other stuff, but not force fields! I have total dominance over force fields. I'm sure this weapon is going to be super effective in Mojave too. - Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
