    Okay...because I'd like the subject to be discussed somewhat respectfully...

    As Supahewok said, hydra is the affectionate name prolific banjumper has been given. I know Pip's have been using it for a while because it seemed like as soon as one account of his was discovered and banned, more would pop up (much like hydra heads).

    Wew lad. I was only joking 😮 It's not like le hydra is much of a pain in the ass anymore is it, he's pretty easy to spot by now.

    Niantic Disables Pokemon GO Tracking, Shuts Down Third-Party Tracking Sites

    Welp that explains why I couldn't see the footprints any more. And there I was thinking my house was just overrun with Pokemon and I just couldn't see them. I can understand why people are upset, especially considering how much money it costs to keep up if you're not able to spend ages...

    Alice Through the Looking Glass - Don't Waste Our Time

    Avoided the first one 'cause I figured it would be a lazy merging of the two books. Guess I'll be sticking to the books regardless now...

    Tracer #Buttgate - Shots fired by professional cosplayer at Heroes Championships

    Welp, at least it shows how ridiculous the "it's a pin-up pose" assertions about the first innocuous pose were :')

    Baldur's Gate EE: Siege of Dragonspear - Writing

    @DementedSheep - "Saying it's "interesting" is more neutral. You can put whatever tone you want into that without them having to write a whole bunch more dialogue." In terms of English lang at least, it's the other way around in this example. "An interesting past" as opposed to say...

    Baldur's Gate EE: Siege of Dragonspear - Writing

    From the arguments and descriptions I've seen of the game and its universe, those dialog options actually seem realistic in both the real world and the game world. The NPC blurting out her life story to what appears to be total strangers(?) otoh, doesn't appear to be realistic in either the...

    Poll: Tracer pose poll

    Can't knock them if they truly feel the pose was not in their character's nature (though drawing her bum a touch more realistically may have fixed any perception of ~sexuality~ *shrug*). But if they could have done so without shitting on women in the process, that would have been greeeat.

    Has the heat died down? Is it OK to openly like Undertale again?

    Eric - I don't tend to read articles from a lot of sources, so I'm going by what I saw going by my timeline. From my view, loads of people loved undertale, all sorts of people. Then came the whole "undertale is an sj game, this is great!" thing, and apparently over on GameFAQs "undertale is...

    Has the heat died down? Is it OK to openly like Undertale again?

    It was largely a manufactured backlash. Remember when games pubs were talking about "gamergate" and the like hating undertale for being a "social justice" game? And how mad they'd be over it being popular and getting awards... When actually it was really popular within and without gg...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    @Olas - "pants don't conform to the butt like that", an assertion made based on a piece of digital artwork. "pants do conform to the butt like that", an assertion made based on photos of real people, and of people's real experiences (either first or secondhand xp). Belief in one of those...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    @EternallyBored - i admit usage of that phrase may be different based on location or environment, so yeah that particular bit could be a stretch. I hear it used all the time, so not seeing it said - especially when it's relevant to the discussion - raises some suspicion. And I've seen more than...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    The original complaint came from a man btw. That normally wouldn't matter, but this guy conveniently omitted that fact when using his daughter to divert attention from what his real motivations could be. Usually when someone points to their kids in that way, it's accompanied by a phrase like...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    @ThatOtherGirl - you've hit the nail on the head there. Excellent post! The initial complaint and arguments supporting the pose's change are so obviously old-school sexist. And it is aggravating and disappointing to see people happily going along with it. People who claim to be against...

    Ok... did I fall into another Escapist Troll Button?

    Whew, I'd been wondering if sommat had been slipped in my tea. Don't think I've ever been on a site where the web dev/tech team were so fun until posting here :) ... :( Given the circumstances maybe I shouldn't have, but I legit laughed out loud at this, well played. <3 holy...
