I think it could be possible but is very unlikely. Most indies need to maximize distribution and it is rare that any add deal is brokered with any specific system manufacturer or store front much less an exclusivity arrangement. Typically exclusivity arrangements are made between a publisher and...

There was a thing with zontar being banned so people added bleach to their avatars as a piss take the idiotic ban. Afterwards I though that the default avatar drinking bleach was a good summary of the site direction in general so I kept it.

as though the usual suspects aren't already regulars over at REEEEset

Whew the R&P folks are gonna be mad about this one. Great take though, never compromise art for authoritarians.

Well to answer op and not the train wreck that followed, I think men and women are divided into groups by generalities and or common biological factors neither of these groupings (being as broad as they are) are necessarily applicable to an individual and anyone trying to mesh fully with these...

Page 4 of the interview. Mostly about Markus tweeting negatively about them after a bunch of "journalists" wrote hit pieces on him for not capitulating to their world views when they demanded he do so. Luckily there are still sites like The Escapist (not perfect of definitely cleaning the...

Nope, not really a mannerism I have but I would probably avoid doing it out of concern about I would be femscolded by a femtitled femwhining feminist. Isn't gendering words that apply equally to everyone for no reason other than to attack a group of people different than you fun and not at...

Frankly as much as I think Jim is a self interested hypocrite he is right about these devs and hopefully this gets thrown out or it could set a really nasty industry precedent. Asset flipping and shovelware are a big problem in indie dev and it would be nice to see these guys nailed with a...

Not being a doctor I'm really not someone who likes to give medical advice, but I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that studies from the 80's out of Russia are probably worth being suspicious of. Honestly this whole thread reeks of science denialism and I always find that a bit concerning...

Wasn't DSMO the ointment believed to be involved in The whole Poison Blood fiasco? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Ramirez Pretty sure that isn't going to improve your health. More broadly medical conspiracies are incredibly damaging and can cause people to die from things that are...

I really liked it and to my understanding it is free to play now days.

I think a lot of the scorn comes from the fact that in the case of a "big publisher" game the project management team is often distinct from the developers making content (admittedly to a somewhat varied degree). This is not the same for an indie title where the individuals making the content...

Well it all depends on your definition of SJW. Also in opposition and opposite are very different contextually. With those caveat's out of the way, how it generally is used is to reference far left extremism, it is important to consider the fact that there is simply no direct or specific...

Obviously if you do not know better there is a certain level of assumption that goes into human interaction. If someone has a full beard and gets mad at you for calling them a he then that person is an irrational moron. If said person politely asks you to call her a she and you don't then...

A very touching story. For all the controversy and drama gaming sometimes sees, I think it is important to hear things like this to appreciate the fact that it is and likely always will be at it's core something that brings both joy and learning to others lives.
