Nintendo’s own-goals are getting embarrassing.
- Comment on Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again' 5 days ago:
Yes, but he’ll gaslight the rest of us into calling it “bee-GOH” Games.

Glad I don’t use Strava

There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.

If I read a forum where people are known to object to what I do, there’s a fair chance I’ll get my feelings hurt. That’s on me.

Ubisoft has problems. Ghoulish activist investor looking to destroy the company for a quick buck is not helping.

- Comment on Saber won't say whether their CEO wrote this highly baity comment about games "imposing morals on gamers" 2 months ago:
Whether he said it or not, social engineering is perhaps as inappropriate in games as in schools. I agree with the sentiment that I play games to get away from reality, not to get slapped with extra-strength RL issues.

It’ll definitely lead to a few never-imagined-by-humans campaigns.
Now I want to plug in the rules to ChatGPT and let it run a session, just for fun.
- Comment on Wine team now hosting Mono, looking to adopt the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct 2 months ago:
Someone wants to remind them that Ehmke lost. There’s such a backlash against her brand of approved discrimination that DEI is being dismantled, made illegal, and generally thrown in the dustbin. She’s probably not the best person to advise on equality issues.

Pretty sure that French would pronounce it /u/ not /ju/.

I’m not the one who brought athletics into this. I’m just following the conversation. But no, “esports” do not meet the definition of “sport.”
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
“Sport” is defined as athletic activity, and “athlete/athletic” refers to physical exercise, agility, stamina, and strength. So no, playing a video game doesn’t count.
If girls make you sweat, good for you. Sex could arguably be athletic, depending on what you get up to.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Nice work if you can get it, I guess.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Not sure if you’re an artist yourself or if your handle is meant to poke society’s nose. :)
Either way, yes, I know what art is. I also know that it is very much in the eye of the beholder. I just don’t happen to agree that playing video games rises to either an art form or a profession. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
“Used to”. And they also included architecture, chess, and dueling alongside other non-sport activities. They were dropped fairly early on.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
I did seem to find a soft spot, didn’t I?

Agreed

I’ve commented elsewhere on the death of modern Olympics.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Curling is at least a legitimate sport.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Not really, they haven’t. And videogames are hardly sports.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Professional, maybe by the definition this thread seems to prefer. Athletes, no.

- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Chess is an athletic competition?

Fair point.
