From the modder behind Doom RT and Serious Sam RT, comes Half-Life RT. Except it's delayed, so they got us Quake RT instead.

Remember that Blizzard Diversity bot or algorhythm or whatever kerfuffle? Apparently someone dug up some info and managed to derive a rough 'tier' list from it

It's fun. I invite everyone to laugh at this hilarious arbritrary yet inconcistent thing.

I’m not tainting (or tarnishing?) the main ER thread with this -


And a rebuttal -
This is nothing new. It's Polygon up to their usual shenanigans. They're not even worth getting upset and making a fuss over. I'm glad people are calling them out, but they're not even worth the middle finger at this point. They're that pathetic. They won't even get a pity from me. They never did the first time around.

I haven't bothered reading it because I doubt it's worth the few minutes to even do that and not worth the clicks. The title itself seems so incredibly clickbaity I don't want to give them the click.

If they'd like a better understanding of diversity, they could try hiring people who aren't young white straight American males and let them design some stuff.

(But no, that's pandering, somehow.)

Fighting game music.

I actually have the CD on that thumbnail.

Okay so there's a lot to talk about, although I feel like it would all boil down to "corporation can't win the the diversity battle"

But I just want to highlight that Bastion (the robot for those who never played) is considered non-binary. AH!

Afaik, Bastion does not identify as any gender at all, so technically yes, it is non-binary. Tho you could ask whether such terms really apply to something which ostensibly lacks the capacity to understand them, let alone self-identify as them.
