Are you kidding me? This is the beginning of a new golden era for The Escapist. I might even pay for a subscription at this rate.

I agree with most of this, but not all. A lot of people I know from single parent households have a lot of piss and vinegar in them that they carry with them into young adulthood. Anger and resentment is not something to be embraced. Sure, it helps you in the short run get over the motivation...

I'll make this post based on my own experiences and from what I've observed in some of my friends who grew up without fathers. The biggest thing to learn is respect for authority. A lot of guys I know who grow up without fathers have an inherent distrust of authority. I think it's because many...

It calls into question the neutrality of Valve as a distributor of games. This is especially true because they haven't said anything about why they made that decision, except some vague tweet about how it violated their ToS (which is BS because they probably were invoking the arbitrary catch-all...

Honestly, it's because there is no defending these types of censorship. The people who are defending it either haven't thought about the issue too hard or they're doing it out of some misplaced tribalist mindset (GG supports this, therefore I oppose it!). There are no good arguments for...

This makes no sense because Valve is a distributor, not a consumer. As such, they're not exercising any "basic consumer right". They're using their position of power to prevent that game from being distributed. Explain how this is any different from a publisher preventing a book from being...

I didn't say the poster was making a contradiction, just that said poster is speaking out of ignorance on the topic. It also ignores the fact that many games don't get any sales at all if they don't make it on Steam. They have a monopoly on digital distribution. I don't understand why...

I really liked Skyborn. It reminded me a lot of FF6, with the airships and whatnot. The story is pretty decent too. Claret reminds me of Lucca. Completing the game will take you around 12 hours. Edit: The gameplay is also slightly more challenging than typical jrpg fare, but not by much...

The game hasn't even come out yet. Shows how much you know about this subject.

That is NeoGAF's own fault. Actions can precipitate reactions. Maybe NeoGAF will think twice before meddling with the creative process next time. And again, if you don't like something, vote with your dollars. Outrage culture needs to stop. Allow everything and pay for what you like. Stop...

Honestly, he's exercising his right as a creator. If NeoGAFers are going to be dickparades and ruin it for everyone, then the blame falls solely on NeoGAF. It's not easy creating something. If I had to choose between Mr. Harada and the entirety of NeoGAF, I know which one I'd choose. Again...

Can we please talk about how ridiculous outrage culture has become? Whatever happened to, "If I don't like something, I won't play it." Why does a minority of people who are perpetually offended by everything get to dictate what is and is not sold? Why are people getting outraged over Lucky...

I really dislike it when people use slippery slope as a refutation, as if it invalidates any form of causality. Here's Stanford explaining why people who use this fallacy are wrong. "The argument that ?The attempt to use military might to put an end to terrorism is wrong because it will take...

It's not the only difference, but it's the most important one. It's like claiming the Nazis and Allies are equal because both have murdered people in cold blood. The difference is one advocates genocide while the other does not. If truth and fairness is not everyone's goal, then...

The difference is this: all Operation Disrespectful Nod did was politely inform Gawker's advertisers what kind of articles they were paying for by directly linking to the articles and tweets in question. It was 100% the truth. Whereas the people who filed this petition lied about the content...
