...Did y'all live in the same place or something growing up? I thought it was always pretty prevalent that people didn't quite understand society correctly. Or maybe it's from accidentally moving from the boonies to higher than expected suburbia as kid (then out of region for college), on my side.

I was forced to learn when every gaming publication, podcast, and my coworkers all universally agreed that gamers are evil and harass women.

I just wanted to play video games 😦

all of a sudden im seeing a plethora of news article calling the games that i love 'a shit'

I knew only basic of goobergate and what was going on but didn't care much since I underestimated how bad it was at first

Well I am like 17 and barely touch video games so I never ended up caring about gamergate at all

Be glad you didnt experience it, although it was enlightening, its was also incredibly stupid

Thinking of it, I was pretty insulated from the whole ordeal at first, because I was never much into social media so only heard about it from the original /v/ threads and stuff before mods banned it

gamergate resulted in me and a majority of 4channer beginning to question the media

because young me assumed that the media is always right

When you've been called a racist your whole life just because of where you grew up, you get pretty inured to this stuff.

GG achieved its goal of instituting ethics policies at game journo sites but certainly did not achieve the secondary goal of changing the minds of those within the industry away from the ideas they bandwagoned on to.

they doubled down over the next years

hard

It doesn't help that basically every major US game developer is in either Seattle or somewhere in California

I think Bethesda and Ubisoft is on the East Coast.

Depends on the studios themselves. Publishers own developers but they are separate entities.

its hard to setup a studio in middle america, very limited labor pool

Much of the talent is relocated anyway.

It is true though--plus it is hard to convince people to move to a place where there aren't other jobs to take when you're laid off after every project.

But yeah, point was you have a bunch of weak beta developers who agree with whatever they're told and mostly live in Commiefornia or Lenin Statue City.

Oh right that Lenin Statue

i find it funny because the statue is privately owned

Communism is pretty rampant there, they even elected someone from the "Socialist Alternative" party to the city council

If its okay to punch nazi because we fought a war against them, it should also be okay to punch commies because we fought them for much longer

Commies were worse in any metric but they weren't as picky about what kind of people to kill, they get pass I guess ?

Commies are worst by accident

They didn't intended to kill so many peope

Thats a lie

That's the joke

Welp

Woooosh

Lol

Basically, they wanted to do good so it's okay. We can try next time.

Well when you gotta feed everyone... but you only have food for half... it is the only logical conclusion

"It wasn't real communism"

those pesky right wingers hijacked the revolution - actual take from tankies

twitter is magical place

ive actually become more solidified in my ideology than i was maybe 5 years ago. but i was apolitical all my life. which is to say im not any more arrogent (couldent be any more arrogent) but ive thought about the picture of the world a lot more in recent years and have ideas now where i once just thought having ideas ment you were wrong to begin with

Twitter blue check marks are the most honest people out there what do you mean?

Holy shit I think I found a pic of Tim without his hat on 4chan

Is it ok if I post it

He looks like elon musk

I've seen him without beanie on the stream the picture is probably from.

I'll be honest, I think it's kinda rude to post it. If you really want, you can find it. There is no point in posting it here.

Ok <:3

I think its harder to find a picture of Tim smiling

(not screen capture)

oh he was so cute last stream when he was smiling

Tim's kawaii moment hahah

Tim's half Korean, so aegyo

Will Tim senpai ever notice us?

Does Tim do all nighters for videos?

Does Tim Tom even sleep?

`the tim` has moved beyond the need for a mortal circadian rhythm, `the tim` will be active for far longer than the natural duration of our lives before returning to his slumber, and in the far-off times of our unknown descendants, `the tim` shall awaken again

The idea was that no one would recognize him without the beanie

Well thats over

Tim should really sale custom beanies

Hmm

Imagine a beanie

With a *beanie* logo

I'm sorry it's a good thing I never went into fashion design

Did he not say the production effort for custom beanies is too high?

This is getting so chaotic

He can make you a T-shirt with a beanie logo 😉

and the beanie logo is a shirt with a beanie logo on it! and you get Beanieception!
