I used to think the same when I was around 15-18 hours in. Now I'm finally reaching 100% completion and frankly, it's just very hard for me to argue this is not the best metroidvania ever released. It has a lot of hype, but I thin

I'm really at a loss on how to make this any more clear. You are looking at a case of a person LITERALLY admitting they are using it for propaganda and your reaction is "I'm sure it's actually not, it's actually neu

The article for Gamergate is basically an entire page ultimately sourcing from games journalism outlets when it was explicitly about calling out games journalism and collusion in the industry. And being fair, if there's one weakness in

The first problem is thinking it's uniquely about "The nazis" when it's equally about comments like this.

It's impossible to produce such material with a complete lack of bias, sure. I know of at least of one case in which a person publicly admits he is using Wikipedia to promote their political stances and who is right now at the center o

Sorry but I can't take this seriously. I've given more than enough contemporary examples, if you want to dismiss the whole of it and pretend nothing makes sense, that's a choice and I can't help you.

It's totally real, I've even contributed to the project, Admin has the patience of a saint in my experience. There are things which might not look too corporate-friendly, the humor, the anime styled girl mascot, I consider these t

Money? More money than Hollywood? California? Both of which lean left pretty hard? It's not 1980 anymore. "Vastly less power", pray tell, would you rather piss on a Christian cross and post it on social media or a LGBT flag?

Do you have enough cruelty to promote immigration, grabbing the best people a country has to offer, leaving it in the gutter?

This is incoherent babble. Not in a figurative or metaphorical way, you are not making sense and this kind of discourse is exactly what ensures that the far right will occupy most governments in Europe in some 10-20 years time, which I&#x27

It very evidently is not, I don't know how this saying ever became popular, it's so reductionist and silly. Is the purpose of the democratic system to get people like Trump in power? Apparently that's what it does, no?

It's a lifelong change and whatever the state of the first release is, chances are in 5 years time there'll be a better version and everything is safer.

Because it is a machine and has no agency. Same as why if you ask someone to stab you and they do they are liable for it, but if you do it yourself you don't get to blame the knife manufacturer.

Can you justify this kind of response after other explanations have already been given?

Not "digital spaces", but "capital and distribution". It's basically saying that the black population does have an impact on culture although there are no black CEOs of social media companies, just in a vaguely vict

I don't think I can come up with a worse reason to build an opinion on someone than not following the orthodoxy in the extremely stupid context of culture wars.

But this has been "squared" already. Can the police enter your home without a warrant? No? Why? I bet criminals are pretty secretive around their stuff too, no?

In the exact same way as if you had a godawful product and you want to sell it. Promote it, talk about it on social media, possibly contract some marketing services, find out who is more prone to purchasing it and focus on that group, etc e
