reading through it
The context doesnt' SEEM as bad but
the language in the way it is used is well
a big yikes from me.
reading on a bit, everyone in the hall laughed at that bit and like
yeah
that's fucking problematic
COME ON RIOT, GET IT TOGETHER.

Cyberpunk also got me sad. Sad that I will have to save $2000 for a new pre-built to run it.
gonna be honest
Cyberpunk 2077 really doesn't do anything for me
then again I only liked TW3, I didn't really love it. It took me 2 years of playing it to finish it because I just never had the drive to just go all in on it, only play it for like 2 or 3 days then quite for a few months.
I might not get Spider-man either
But I made sure to preorder Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Monster Hunter GU!
and Dragon Quest XI
And Vesperia remaster
and Valkyria 4
hmm.

I'm reading through it slowly, taking it in.
FUCKING
YIKES
It's like that cyberpunk tweet.
When you use that specific term.
Like, it could be a coincidence.
But C'mon.
The joke is clearly reappropriating rape apologist terminology, the only question is whether you think that is OK or not.
EDIT: For the record, I don't have a huge issue with it and I certainly don't see it as condoning rape or anything like that. The most alarming thing in his post is the workplace language used by his co-workers imo.

Sure

in a vacuum I don't have a problem with the language used, but really, this is 2018, and after the expose from kotaku, these things add up and you start questioning whether it is reappropriated or whether it's simply feeding into the culture or a byproduct of it. and that is problematic
In a vacuum the joke doesn't even make sense. The joke literally is "we used the rapist phrase about something that isn't rape". Like I said, the only question is whether you think making that joke is OK or not.
JW had Willem Dafoe and a better soundtrack, but I'd still give the edge to JW2 for being an all-out onslaught from the first minute
In a vacuum away from the article kotaku did.
If this was a business thread, and it was something like, 'Never let a client go. No, doesn't necessarily mean no', that context would fit.
but after the kotaku expose, then well, that phrase takes a deeper meaning and it's indicative of the culture of rito at the time.
I don't want to curse ever in these forms or show off any vulgarity. But just this once, I'll break my rule.Riot Games: "no doesn't necessarily mean no"
Brandon Beck (CEO): No doesn't necessarily mean no.
holy shit wtf
Brandon Beck:
Nah, the way the article phrased it as how he paused and laughed shows that he clearly knows he's saying some shit.

Yeah, seeing Dan so into the game is making me want to go back and play it regularly like when it first released back in the day. I think It's the best MP game of this generation when it comes to FPS games.
That's one of the best scenes in the film. It clearly knows what it is and is having a fuck ton of fun with it.
RIght, how the hall where they were giving the AMA laughed
like
there's only one way you can think of that, and it's problematic.
I respect your commitment to be our clean and non vulgar community member lol.I don't want to curse ever in these forms or show off any vulgarity. But just this once, I'll break my rule.
Brandon Beck:
Yeah, I'm saying he intentionally used a rapist phrase and reappropriated to something that isn't rape. That is literally the joke and there is no innocent way to interpret it. The question is whether you think making a joke like that is OK, not whether or not the joke was offensive. It was intended to be offensive.
Muffins>>>>>>>>>>Cupcakes.Do y'all like muffins? I'm eating one of the blueberry variety and
They were both amazing
The grappling scenes in john wick 2 were amazing.
Most people can't pull off the Rockstar voice. They REALLY can't.
Cyberpunk 2077 just seems like dudebro cyberpunk prioritizing shock value, hyper-gore, and flashy tech over actually being punk or meaningfully questioning the meaning of humanity.
Maybe if you've only had Hostess or shitty grocery store bakery cupcakes, then sure.
YES
I the whole thing
How can anyone hate blueberry muffins
Muffins are life
Every time I see a clip from this show I am utterly confounded as to why it has a frame rate of like 5
I'm still tentatively curious about this game and will likely jump on board once it leaves Early Access.
So that MCC fix, #You're Microsoft, this is Halo, GET IT DONE, came out
Looking forward to playing the games in 4K, 60FPS w/ HDR
Will be a nice hold over until Spider-Man
