Even if GG initially spawned with the intent to have a legitimate discussion, that ship has long since sailed. It's been completely co-opted by maniacs and there's no going back. It's not a conspiracy.
no matter what gamergate's intentions were, after a day or two ir just became a hate campaign against women and "SJWs" in the gaming industry
Basically
You can explain how that's not the case all day long, but if that's not congruent with the general perception of the group from outsiders then that doesn't mean anything.

Whenever you generalize and dismiss then you're very likely doing something bad. It's the playbook of bigotry.

The pixel art in Hyper Light Drifter is fucking gorgeous. Why is it not letting me F12 to take screenshots?
I'd rather talk about video games. It causes me actual stress to try to explain shit to people. If you don't get it then you don't get it, and I think it's clear you don't. Awhile ago, I asked that the topic not drudge through here. This comes at a personal cost to me and if it leads nowhere then it's sacrificial for no reason.
Gondo - if you want a run down of what I meant then msg me and I'll respond.

Hold on a minute. You brought the topic up and challenged the assertions made to begin with. If people want to (rightfully, imo) say something about GamerGate that you don't agree with, and in the process they don't insult you personally (just your defense of it), then you don't get to dictate if people get to discuss it or not. That isn't how this website in particular works.
And we do get it. There isn't some line of reasoning or lack of information we are missing here. GamerGate is what it is, and there's no nuance or fluffing it up in some alternate language (movement against some nebulous authoritarianism that is seeking to punish videogames???) that changes the fact that it's core operates on mistreatment of women, minorities and outright harassment of said groups because of their hateful intentions.
If you don't like that this group has been co-opted (or even initially founded upon) by the aforementioned, then start a new movement with a clearer message that doesn't involve itself in those kinds of activities.

It's not really are job to understand either. Burden is on the social movement to communicate their message
And the outward message communicated by the actions of GG is one of hate that utilizes harassment and privacy invasion as it's tools for challenging individuals they view as enemies

Can I get a list of shit GG has done to fight authoritarianism? Hell can I get a list of accomplishments that isn't harassing women? I'm genuinely serious.
When something so nonsensical causes someone actual stress, you know you're dealing with a level of stupidity that can't be explained in words. Ignore at all cost.

I'm a little over 2 hours in. It's like A Link To The Past with a harsher difficulty level and minor rpg elements. I'm playing on a keyboard at the moment, so maybe that might have something to do with the challenge, thus far. lol. Get caught lacking and you can die in seconds tho.
Checkpoints seem reasonably fair. Upgrades are...few and far between.
Haven't run into any slowdown as of yet.
Fuck this dash challenge. :(
I'm actually probably just gonna get Sam warriors empires
My backlog is healthy rn. Plus I need to cleanse my mind for this gdlk destiny update

By vire Go To PostPretty depressed over this FFXV demo. Didn't know it would be THIS disappointing.felt like PS4 Net Yaroze, sequel to Terra Incognita
The fuck is going on in here.
I want an SNES RPG to play. Or maybe an action/platformer. Could someone recommend something?

This boss to the north is going to cause Steam refunds or tossed controllers. lmfao. I finally beat it, but it's a touch bullshit.
Only problem I'm having is losing track of the damn cursor at times. I guess that's on me, but the color kinda blends into the art in the north.
edit: Honestly, I kinda get why they aren't in...but I-frames would be nice to have with this dash. Shit can kill you at all times, kinda like a souls game.

Does it have to be SNES? :/
Yes. My relatively new and expensive laptop won't emulate anything better for some reason.
By Omzz Go To PostSuper Mario RPG
Played it already.
Secret of Mana, Terranigma, FF6 and Chrono.
Speaking of SNES stuff, I gave up trying to get through this boss in Axiom Verge. It's a complete hitpoint sponge. I keep hitting it over and over and over and the thing never goes from red to dead. Either I'm missing something or its just a cheesy amount of life that it has.

There's such a drought right now...
Yeah that FFXV is fucking awful and I kinda liked the one that came out with type 0. I'll still get it cause I am stuck in a terrible nostalgic loop when it comes to the series but I am not expecting much.
Which one is it? I don't remember any of them being particularly difficult

Hyper Light Drifter does some weird things. Like...it's still fun and good even, but some of the design choices are irritating as hell. Here is a gauntlet, and in this next room is something you haven't experienced the entire game (why wasn't this a staple throughout...). Hope you played flawlessly up until this point. If not, that auto-save is there to fuck you. Hope you didn't need that single health pack either. That type of shit only works in Dark Souls, because everything is reset when you die (and you can run past mobs). In the games of old, you had manual saves and passwords. There is no gradual curve in the combat challenges either. It feels like everything super creative was saved for the end game.
I think I have one more crystal shard to get, before the final boss. I'm in the south now.
edit: Also, Time Saving tip: When you resurrect from death, if you have a health pack, pressing heal will cancel out the reanimation animation. Situational, because you don't want to use health packs when you don't need to. Saves time, because that shit is hella long.

I'm at the final day in Parasite Eve. Not too sure about my armor (more concerned with the stats; I got plenty of resists on it) but I got a godlike grenade launcher that carried me through the Museum.
Might replay Red Dead Redemption after I clear PE.

It's so busy...
Finished Hyper Light Drifter. I didn't 100% it, but it took me 8 hours. Part of it was due to me dicking around with the dash and also getting lost. Not even going to fuck with NG+. Only 2 HP in a game where getting stun-locked to hell and back is a thing, on top of the unnecessary difficulty that comes with the keyboard and mouse controls. Nah.
