Things That Don't Bother You About Gaming

[Foggle]

Yeah, her game looks... special. Speaking on graphics alone, it's like a low-budget Dreamcast game where they forgot to hire a competent artist. And apparently the gameplay is nothing but QTEs? I'm sure there's a market for something like that, albeit a small one, but it's not just "bro" gamers (as she puts it) who wouldn't want to spend money on such a thing. I mean, really.

Though I guess at least it looks marginally better than this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8aEeUg62Po

The last few months I've been bordering on becoming Pro-GG, but they have too many jackasses on their side too. I just find the hypocritical hissy fits to be hilarious.

I really do not like GG one bit and am staunchly against it, but a lot of the most prominent antis are awful too. Like that guy whose "wife" is a realdoll. Or that lady who has openly discussed her pedophile and zoophile fantasies. What the fuck.

What's most hilarious about this Wu situation is how very little time has passed since she made a phony Sarin Gas threat at PAX, and she's almost acting like she's trying to be a peacekeeper.

Oh God, I remember reading about that. It's like she took that SVU episode seriously.

Was it confirmed to be phony, though? I don't think it's responsible to say that anyone has made stuff like that up unless we have legitimate proof.

Besides, trying to decipher if a death threat on the internet is phony is a lost cause thanks to how literally anyone with a twitter account can make death threats to anyone they wish.

Well, fuck.

I don't mean whether someone meant it (because most people don't), but whether someone had made it at all. Death threats are terrible and should never be made even in jest, and the fact that some people make them up for attention is despicable.

[Peanutbutter]

Yeah, it really is. I should point out that not all of Anti-GG turned on her, half of them are trying to defend her. Needless to say, the others aren't having it and now they're starting to attack each other.

This honestly looks like a decent N64 game I would play. Seriously.

Is it okay to reopen the Gamergate thread? It went just fine last time because everybody here are pretty chill about things. Plus Gary is long gone.

Sarah Butts? Hoo boy, that creep is by far the worst. And yet, a bunch of the antis take everything she misappropriates and believes them without question. The saddest thing is that Todd in the Shadows even retweets her garbage. Because if someone hates Gamergate, they can't be wrong.  Oh, that and Lindsay is friends with Anita Sarkeesian.

I'd rather we keep GG stuff off of this forum except to occasionally laugh when someone makes an extraordinary fool of themselves. I don't want to reopen the thread.

Eh, this isn't really a problem IMO. Some of her arguments are extremely bad, and the fact that she stole content is highly immoral, but after she posted that thing displaying how her funds are appropriated, I think she's just slow at making videos rather than a scammer.

Speaking of jokes, how about that Tim Schafer? Friendly reminder that 3.3 Million Dollar man can't into math. He made a stupid joke at GDC about GamerGate with a sock puppet about how many GGers it takes to make a game. 50. 1 to do the modeling, 1 to do materials, then 40 to say it's Not Your Shield. That's does not equal 50, Tim. No wonder you went over budget with Broken Age and cancelled Spacebase DF-9 with that math. It was kind of funny.... in a cringe-worthy kind of way.

May I ask why? I don't think anyone here is going to take things too far.

[Foggle]

Even if no one takes the discussion too far, it's still a poisonous topic. It could create tension between members, make people who feel strongly one way or the other angry, prevent new users from feeling comfortable about registering for the forum, etc.

So, Marvel's Civil War, then?

So, Marvel's Civil War, then?

Yes, but with worse writing and no enjoyable Cable & Deadpool issues.
