Unity 4.3 is gaining "native" 2d tooling: http://blogs.unity3d.com/2013/08/28/unity-native-2d-tools/

It's been a while and I don't know if you'll come back, but here goes... It is not sexist in any way. If you disagree, please elaborate. I know many women who don't find rape amusing. Most ugly rape jokes that I'v

Nope, totally read your post. And then deleted my rather angry response because you've got a couple of good points; sorry to straw man you there. All of your examples start from the comic. The rest of the discussion starts with PA&#x27

Honestly, I thought the original comic was spot-on and loved it. The dickwolves thing didn't get past my rape joke barometer. Still doesn't. Of course, I'm a mostly-white, cismale, upper-middle class programmer who's nev

I'm not sure how to engage with you on this because I'm not sure what you're saying. It sounds like you're saying, "PA shouldn't be blamed for the Internet trolls that are out there already all the time."
216.
by drhayes9 13y ago
Again, almost none of the controversy stems from the comic itself. Most of it comes from PA's reaction to their critics' feedback.

Because murder is equal opportunity and is generally seen as abhorrent cross-culturally, while rape is skewed towards specific marginalized people and is generally seen as not a problem. 1 in 6 women are sexually assaulted. 1 in 33 men are

Okay. But men don't exist in a culture that tells them to fear being raped, or that their physical appearance is what matters most about them, or that they should be demure and not like sex. In no way was I saying "men didn't

by drhayes9 13y ago
Nope. And, as a bonus, you're deliberately misinterpreting what I'm saying. Cool. Good humor punches up. Making a shirt that makes rape victims uncomfortable is punching down. Easy, right?

There is specific reprisal against one particular gender of critics. Outspoken women who critiqued the comic and PA's response were sent rape and death threats. http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Dickwolves

It's not the original comic that's at issue. It's Penny Arcade's response to the criticism they've received about it. It's not a "noisy rape-is-bad awareness show", it's protesting against a co

Totally agree. I'm not going to read Penny Arcade anymore, either. I don't support bullies.

Be sure to check out "Gods Will Be Watching", another game made in 48 hours with a seriously compelling story and art style. As long as you're checking out Haxe, I'd recommend Stencyl (which, in 3.0, is being rewritten t

I disagree. Not every company is Google -- both internally, as an employee, and externally, in people's minds. If your thought process goes, "I am a software engineer; I want to be the best software engineer I can be; Google does

You haven't outlined any points here about the language. I don't want Google to tell me what other people think its flaws are, I was asking you what in your experience are its flaws. Looking at your past comments on HN, you seem t

I hear you. I have extensions to your points and disagree here or there but, in general, all your points come down to the same thing: the developer toolchain for JS really frickin' sucks . Web development is a pain. Web developers hav

Maybe, but dismissing people doesn't sit right with me. Not to get to Yoda-y, but the anger here is real and deserves some scrutiny.
230.
by drhayes9 13y ago
The "developers" dig seems unnecessary. @cuttooth and @PommeDeTerre, since you both are pushing the "JS is a flawed language" angle, what do you find are its greatest flaws?

If the Farm Bill supported welfare, then yes. The others... not so much. But those things aren't direct effects of taxes, they're the direct result of legislative and executive action that can be, in part, enabled by taxes. Let&#x

Do you mean, "Let's not pay taxes" as a revolutionary tactic? Would that really work in the world of complex financial instruments, deficit spending, international aid, etc? The implicit violence argument behind taxes never h

Sorry to stick words in your mouth. I agree, you're right, his responses are terrible and he seems pretty rude.

I'd be more inclined to agree with you, that Fish is simply another troll, if I'd seen any evidence of him responding to a perfectly reasonable review of FEZ with more "choke-on-my-dick" trollia. There's a differenc

I gotta disagree with your last sentence: the absolute worst thing you can do about bullying is say that the victim deserved it . First, my bias: I'm a huge fan of FEZ, the game. Aren't you victim blaming? He deserves all the abu

FEZ is among my favorite video games of all time. I believe that it is a perfect expression of a 20-something's love of video games, a game mechanical representation of spiritual enlightenment, and a fiendish hedge maze of fractally sp

Second this. One of my favorite things is getting a slice, however small, of how truly great programmers get their work done, why they chose what they did, and what the results were. We actually need more of this on HN, not less.
