      Dude, I've told you multiple times before. Do I need to keep on explaining? I don't know how else to explain it. ''Explained in Autistic Detail'' is derogatory for genuinely Autistic people like me who are already having trouble with day to day lives. Just stop with using the phrase in your videos. Now.

    I never understood overwatch, like wtf is the point of telling people what each characters sexual preference or disability is in a game that HAS NO STORY? "We're gonna take this EMP bomb to this factory" Why? "I dunno, but did you know that Symmetra has autism" Ok? That's important because? "Cause somebody on twitter said she shows signs of having autism" All I wanted to know is why are we transporting a bomb....

    That "miss" incident happened to me during a class i had to take while studying some bullshit and we had social skills classes as well as straight up feminism classes. During one of those "miss" came up (señorita since im from spain but señora and señorita are missus and miss respectively) and the teacher got all up in arms, saying that miss is infantilizing and assumes marital status, which yeah, by definition it does but no one uses it like that, normally we uses miss for younger people and missus for older people, that's it.
    The whole class refused to accept anything the teacher said, it was like taking classes from a tumbler user.

    What I learned from this situation is the following:

    - Progressives are an easy lay but will make your life hell at the drop of a hat.
    - Progressives would rather post their harassment on twitter for ass pats than actually leave the toxic environment or pursue legal action.
    - HR can apparently ignore if someone commits sudoku and no one will bring it up unless they can cancel the company and get attention from it.

      There's the small but existing possibility that the lawsuit was brought by individuals rather than by the state to destabilize BZ for lower costs to be dropped/settled shortly afterwards which would not be possible with a state lawsuit.
      More than 90% of the lawsuit is hardly substantial "sexism in gaming" and other such frivolous allegations that seem more like a journo bait than actual serious legal claims.
      The viability of that theory will mostly depend on how both the lawsuit plays out now that the acquisition was made and what happens with those who brought it in the first place.

    Ehhh I'm not going to go straight to "Microsoft saved Blizzard" just yet. I learned that lesson when Disney bought Star Wars. Approach with optimism if you want, but remain cautious at the same time. Microsoft's been making some disconcerting moves on their own as of late that has me concerned about the direction the company is heading. So Micro owning Blizz is something I'm taking a "wait-and-see" approach.
    I will say that I have been entertaining the thought of ending my Blizzard Boycott after nearly four years with the news that Blizzard's been purchased and that many of their bad actors are likely to get the axe. But I don't want this to be a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" kind of moments.

Yes, the stocks and financial situation of Acti-Blizz is more solvent but that doesn't mean the quality of their games is going to improve. We may still get Twitter Pandery BS from a Microsoft owned company.
      I generally stand by my original stance of "approach with optimism, albeit cautious optimism."
      Believe me though, I pray that you end up being right on this one in the long-run. I grew up with Blizzard games so I want to be able to smile and say that my worries were for naught. Here's hoping I get to say #GundamWasRight honestly.

      As a PC gamer for 30+ years ik exactly how m$ operates, they play the long game but will drop support for you're platform of choice on a dime, never forget always online, anti second hand market tactics and ofc gfwl, m$ only looks out for m$, also they don't publish games, the last thing of note that wasn't Halo,gears or Forza was the mechwarrior and dungeon series that came out nearly 2 decades ago, also Forza horizon 5 is overrated AF, it's almost exactly the same game as 4 with even more cringe attached to it, you cant even disable that sht

    What I learned about sexual harassment in the work place is that it is ok for females to partake in it, but it is not ok for you as a male to report such behavior because if you do the tables will be turned on you and you will take the blame effectively snitching yourself out. I remember working for a company and having to strip naked in front of a all female staff for being blamed for stealing diamond earrings by the female staff. My sister's were a part of the staff and had to witness this treatment of my character. I apologized to my family and got naked on the property's camera to prove my innocence. I even argued that the non related females were just trying to see me naked. I was cleared of any wrong doing and then left the company on bad terms. It probably wasn't my first time getting nude in front of a crowd of people. Hell, everytime I get drunk, I wake up nude like oh no, not again.

    WoW was dying, Starcraft was dead, Warcraft was defiled, Diablo was a running joke, nobody knew what Heroes of the Storm was anymore and Hearthstone was ok I guess.

      It's seems that Nintendo (despite them having their own issues) and Indie devs are pretty much all we've got left when it comes to creativity and gameplay. All I seem to play anymore are indie games. They actually care for the product, respect the fan/playerbase (for the most part) and, even if it's released in early access, the game's stable and enjoyable

I was one of the firsts to get cable net, I my clan helped pioneer the in game t-bag in 1997, only we called it humping back then. I've seen many games come, and even more go. I've seen game dev teams go from a few dudes who love games making something out of passion and love to billion dollar investments and publicly traded game companies.
    We let them fucking destroy what we love. ANY TIME corporations take interest in something they feel they can extort for money, they do it, and they ruin it.

    As someone who sadly plays classic wow. It was so much fun watching all the virtue signaling changes they made to the game after the lawsuit.
    They also removed the /spit emote....mainly because when they added the first "store" mount to classic tbc, everyone would spit on anyone riding it. Gotta protect the pay pigs in the name of virtue. They also changed some female npcs into a mix of male/females and added a male succubus....among many other things

At this point it’s just a dismal black comedy that I will graciously laugh at how fucked up it all is. Popcorn and s’mores are on me if anybody wants to pull up a seat next to me.

    I remember when WoW was fun and GMs would personally respond to tickets in role play.
    Those days are long gone. The game lost it's touch in multiple ways.
    I think what ultimately broke my interest in WoW was a mass robbing of a guild vault, all because we trusted the wrong person. Blizzard didn't do anything about these ninjas to the point where ninjas would make guilds to prey on people's generosity (they'd take everything from the shared vault and than disband the guild and/or switch servers.)
    And these ninjas would brag about their thieving in trade chat, and Blizzard refused to take advantage of their banning for "any or no reason" policy. Even with the loot system changed, I can only imagine how much worse it's gotten. It's not fun when your good faith is so easily and openly used against you.

It's like their one moment in the spotlight. I've heard it attached to the rise of Trump, Jan 6th, the rise of the Alt Right, Nazis, Criticisms of any other media (such as ghost busters 2016, the new starwars trilogy, the state of comics, the Love of the Joker movie, etc), incels, the debate about trans issues...

      GG actually WAS the catalyst that kicked off the modern culture war. Five Guys Burgers and Fries was so egregiously corrupt but the entire media circled the wagons to label all criticism as being other “isms” by hyper focusing on fringe weirdos - and it worked extremely well at the cost of permanently waking up a small percentage of normies. The media has since over used this strategy and the small percent of normies permanently losing trust in the system has grown to unbelievable numbers and even more insane rhetoric.
      TLDR: you can literally draw a line from GG to the glowies getting sicced on PTA meetings
