Any time I've heard that it's always from the weakest and most insecure people. It takes strength to be nice.

I always suspected that 4chan's history was going to be revealed to be worse than I thought, but I didn't really expect it to have been THIS intentionally evil.

The artists I know from that era didn't get decent pay for music sales either =/
Musicians always depended on merch and ticket sales at concerts for the majority of their income.

This sentiment should be ingrained in every gamedev's brain.
Ton of great follow-up links in the thread too.

The community of a game is in many ways a by-product of that game's design, and of design considerations that need to be thought of at the beginning if you want to be intentional about them.
When you're designing a multiplayer game you are also designing your game's community and social space

Bruuuuh. Ain't a single thing a critic has ever said that damaged me that hurt a fraction as much as the everyday BS the executives put us through and how much they underpay us.

So like, there are some good points to be made about this topic but holy shit CEOs of studios are the last people qualified to make those points.
The damage critics do to gamedevs' souls pales in comparison to the damage the executives do to us.

Anybody who thinks they've got it nailed down is just a narcissist that doesn't realize when they aren't welcome.
Try to catch eye contact, maybe a smile or nod, see if they notice you and give you a nod or smile in return. Then you just try to chat, and if they don't reciprocate you back off.

Every video Iโve seen directly contradicts the DHS narrative.
They say he approached the officers armed and ready to โmassacre law enforcement.โ
In reality, he was recording ICE then after they shoved a woman, he got in between them.
They then surrounded him and killed him.

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

So yeah hey, if you have a TikTok account and dont want to be on the secret police's list, you should delete your account.
TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
Theyโre collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether youโre trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.
