    EA on women in Battlefield V; "If you don't like it, don't buy it"

    The article linked to looks like paid for apologetics for EA's cynical attempt to cash in on fortnite/PUBG royale battle games while using existing branding, I mean it's not like EA has a comprehensive history of doing exactly this sort of thing. It still amazes me that some people will fall...

    "It's Not My Job to Do Your Research for You"

    I think I am with the majority here, if you make a claim and want people to believe that claim it is your responsibility to back that claim up with evidence. If you cannot or will not that is fine, just don't expect a reasonable person to accept your claim on your word alone. In short...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    I can't help but feel you are missing the point with an uncharitably literal interpretation. Sure some people may not have a particularly great grasp of English and ask for an objective review when if taken a little more charitably than the obvious oxymoron, I would presume they are asking...

    5 Horrific Ways You Would Actually Die in Space

    Well I wasn't concerned with it killing you, just that it is reasonable for ice to form on the face (especially if sweaty) like seen in that one movie. Of course this would crack the skin and probably cause bleeding and then similar effects on deeper tissues. I suspect you'd be dead before...

    5 Horrific Ways You Would Actually Die in Space

    Hang on a second. Surely if you were exposed to a vacuum the water on the surface of your skin, eyes, and possibly in the capillaries would start to boil off right? Well, doesn't a liquid changing into a gas absorb temperature in that state transformation to grant it latent heat? Wouldn't...

    Jimquisition: The Wacky Harassment Blame Parade

    The idea of collective responsibility for individual actions isn't a particularly moral one, for one it absolves the actual perpetrator of their individual responsibility and it serves to fuel a guilt by association fallacy. The fact that two individuals share a single characteristic, in this...

    League of Legends Player Faces Eight Years For "Terroristic Threats"

    Was this supposed to be ironic? It's hard to tell sometimes. If you were serious, well I can only say that the choice between self censorship or mandated censorship is a distinction without a difference. Its like being given the choice to kneel or be knelt, the end result is the same. What...

    League of Legends Player Faces Eight Years For "Terroristic Threats"

    I remember reading in an exchange on a forum, one person accusing the other of being a nazi sympathiser [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwins_law], because they identified themselves as a feminist. The persons response was something along the lines of: "clearly because I support womens...

    "Entitled gamers" starting to remind me of "frivolous lawsuits".

    Shelling out for the most expensive dedicated gaming platform seems, to me at least, to be something which would require a certain amount of enthusiasm. It seems rather schizophrenic to release the most expensive dedicated gaming platform if their goal is to court the casuals who just want to...

    Gold Dupe Bug Forces Diablo 3 Auction House Offline

    Corrected. Supply being the actual goods in question that you want, and money being the amount of exchange tokens you have to spend on them. If there were an actual infinite increase in supply, then the value of all goods would be zero, which would be infinite deflation. Depending on how...

    On Dongles

    Well actually we look like we're discussing a bunch of things at once. A conference and two distinct parties, one a rave run by wargaming, and one a party run by YetiZen. I am going to go to pains to make a distinction because its going to be nightmarish to follow our conversation for anyone...

    On Dongles

    Which do you prefer night club raves where everyone is of the same ethnicity, country of origin, culture, sex, sexuality, or something where there are a more diverse range of people? I'm fairly certain that meeting people you are attracted to is part of the point of attending a rave, for...

    On Dongles

    If I were an event organiser who had to arrange a night clubbing for what must be a very large group of mostly males. Then one of my primary concerns would be in bringing the number of males to females in the club back to, or at least closer to parity. I've looked at this during some of my...

    On Dongles

    Oh I don't think so. I asked you a number of questions and I think you have made your position reasonably clear. As far as I can ascertain from your answers you do not believe that there should be organised after parties which exist for the purposes of fun. You simply feel that this is the...

    On Dongles

    Which is what they did. There was an optional rave event arranged which they could attend after the conference if they wanted to, which some people took advantage of. I mean you can say there is no 'need' for any form of after party, or entertainment based company outings. Various companies...
