The thing that has been bugging me about the "Oh man video games sure are bad and all gamers are scum" thing is that all this misogyny isn't even remotely limited to gamers. Yeah it is a large problem within gaming but I feel like it's selling short the fact that our society as a whole has these problems in spades.
I'm really sorry that I worded things so badly, everyone. I really am. I am not the kind of person that you seem to think I am. I just wanted to discuss the issue, I really don't like it when I upset people, especially when I am just too naive to engage in the conversation in a sensitive way. I really feel horrible that these things are happening to Zoe Quinn and didn't want to justify anything those bad people are doing.
I know so many people that have formed sexual/romantic relationships with professional acquaintances. That someone could consider such a situation sexual payola or something because a person slept with someone who happens to cover their industry, and also never reviewed, or seriously even covered, their (free) game, is just absurd. It's seeing ghosts.
I am watching the CounterSpy Quick Look and this game still looks great to me
Carry on
Thank you Mr. G
I don't want to feel bad about pre-ordering it.
It's not gonna beat Shadow Complex or even Guacamelee, but for the 11 dollars it costs on pre-order it still looks like a good time
It might be pretty short though, like only 3 or 4 hours, which seems to defeat the purpose of a randomly generated mission-based structure but hey whatever

I just said it wrong
I don't think you actually upset anybody. Just a lot of incredulity around. I mean I know I was all set to yell at you before others all got there first.
The things you said were taken a certain way and now you know to avoid things like that.

In that case I'm sorry for calling you a concern troll.
After over a month of dealing with shit in a different industry with harassment problems maybe I jumped the gun there.

I, and most here, wouldn't make an absolute assumption about you as a person on the basis of any one post. It's cool, dogg.

Problem is the industry has pandered to them for so long they now feel entitled.
Boardgames are pretty rad these days.

I think I need to take a break from this thread. I keep getting halfway through typing up a reply and then I delete it because I can't tell when someone is being serious anymore.

Let's not pretend that boardgames don't have problems though. Their are companies that have entire product lines that are vile.
I want to play one of those ridiculous hex based wargames with huge maps and historical armies...
This is the aspect of boardgaming that I am just now getting into though I just jumped into the crazy deep end by going with Saints in Armor.
Probably going to scale it back to something more sane with Sekigahara and then dip my toe into true insanity with the Advanced Squad Leader starter kit.

Oh absolutely. It's particularly bad among games manufacturers with a focus on minis.
I would argue that boardgames tend to foster less toxic communities, though. Kinda hard to get people to play boardgames with you if you're an ass.

Hobby shops are cesspools
I'd rather play cod on Xbox live
This is also true.
And the owner of the biggest local one is kind of an ass.

I just today got back into reading after a long time of not doing so for reasons.
Making my triumphant return to reading books on the bus also be my very first Discworld book was a good choice.
cocaine?
Thank you Mr. G

This nekker trophy was awesome when it let me realize that I could actually wear it but now I want something radder.
Oh right PAX forgot about that.
Ever played Robinson Crusoe: Adventures On The Cursed Island?
You should, it rules
Indeed, we can talk about both of those things at the same time

It's a fun little version of futuristic basketball.
for a direct example, leigh alexander's drunk appearance on giant bomb v. dave lang's drunk appearance on giant bomb
This is also true.
And the owner of the biggest local one is kind of an ass.
Which is good cause Crusoe gets pretty intense
Also, Archipelago is super good aside from the weird kinda racial stuff going on in it
is it fairness if i thought both of those were pretty obnoxious
They were both super irritating
Only one got the person threats though
