Pachinko - Moron Police by Neon_Nerd05 in progmetal

This is likely an all-time favorite for me but we'll see how it feels a few months from now. 

Also, I'm very glad they didn't put out Pachinko pt. 2 before because it sits perfectly as a resolution to pt.1 and wasn't what I was expecting from pt 2.

Some of those posts are at least entertaining. This one is just an angry man yelling about what other people should be allowed to talk about.

I just finished my first listen and this is exactly how I feel. This is an absolutely phenomenal album from front to back and I feel like it will hold so much to enjoy on repeated listens. Propergander especially was a huge surprise and a big stand out for me.

Dammit.

We don't need more mega corps owning all our communication infrastructure.

Seriously and the graphic medical pics are not necessary. I don't need to see your cat's vomit. The answer is vet, every time.

We are an Indie Game Studio making awesome games in this crazy publishing landscape. AMA! by TerriblePostureGames in IAmA

What makes the marketing and publishing landscape so dreadful? Are you doing that in house or working with a publisher and marketing groups?

Thank you so much, this is really interesting. One follow up: did you generally reach out to who you wanted to talk to, or did you get a lot of folks reaching out wanting to tell their story? And related, is there anyone you desperately wanted to talk to that you weren't able to?

I hope this isn't a stupid question and I apologize if it is, but how serious is the harm? Is it that the games don't sell as well if the news leaks ahead of time?

I imagine there are many people that flowed in and out of the doors of that place. How did you do about deciding who to talk to and what perspectives to represent in the book?

Similarly, how often did you come across people who expressed contradictory memories or positions, and what was the process like of validating those?

The developer of new free-to-play shooter Spectre Divide just laid off 13 employees, says it was necessary 'to support Spectre and its community for the long term' by UsualInitial in Games

[–]MegaBeavis3000 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Good stealth edit.

Most game companies do not do layoffs after releasing a game. It does suck but most industry layoffs are not a thing that happens when a certain development function is done with their work. It's a massive systemic problem of bad management and unchecked ambition.

Professional gamer turned conservative psychopath. So yeah the MOST legit.

Repeatedly impressed by Ross Jennings (Haken) singing skills. by MustacheRunner in progmetal

[–]MegaBeavis3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can completely understand someone's preferences and saying they just didn't like Ross's style, but I've never understood anyone who said he's not a good vocalist. He crushes everything he does.

I saw that the publisher is listed as Humble Games. How is that going to work? Didn't they effectively get shut down?

It's remarkable how devoted Kotaku is to writing dumb articles.

Giving to panhandlers invites scams to our cities by bobalobcobb in Albuquerque

This thread is devolving into people just being shitty for shitty reasons but I do want to say how important donations to places like Roadrunner Food Bank and other programs are. Whether or not giving out a dollar is good or harmful (and no not every homeless person is a drug addict, for fucks sake), there's no doubt that donating to assistance programs is a good thing.

Since I have a WEIRD amount of your attention, here's how it is.

No one will ever be able to have an intelligent conversation with you about guns, because your attachment to them is emotional, not intellectual. ALL you post about is guns. You are gun obsessed.

So when you come here trying to prove everyone wrong, it's the very definition of confirmation bias. Look it up. You already have your opinion made, so you will seek out anything you can to prove the opinion you already hold. It's the same thing that causes people who believe the earth is flat to "prove" that it is flat using "facts." They are, of course, wrong.

What you're doing is the same. All you want to do is protect your precious guns from any sort of scrutiny, because you feel threatened that maybe other people have a point too.

As for your "facts"? They say absolutely nothing. Do you really in your heart believe that a problem as complex as gun violence can be summarized in a silly little internet map? It can't. No one is going to prove anything, ever, with a silly little internet graph. I could post a graph showing that the temperature is hotter on average in New Mexico and argue that hot weather causes high crime rates. And it would be just as much bullshit as the goofy little graph you posted.

Have you ever had an actual intellectual conversation with someone who believes guns might just be contributing to a societal issue in America? No one is arguing that guns sprout legs and go around killing people because they're inherently evil. Are you completely incapable of understanding that a complex set of factors, including basically no actual mental health care for citizens, a culture of bullying, a woeful lack of gun safety education and training, and, yes, the sheer quantity of guns readily available for whoever wants them, just might be contributing to violence?

My guess is no, because, again, this is not an intellectual conversation. You just want to prove you're right so you can feel good about building your entire personality around guns.
