[QUOTE=Wii60;46033537]unverified skype chat logs involving moot [URL]http://pastebin.com/tAynguZP[/URL] probably fake but eh[/QUOTE] [b]Assuming this is real[/b], moot is "censoring" because he has a gun pointed at his head, possibly by people supporting Zoe Quinn. He didn't seem to care otherwise. Though his hands aren't clean either. Nobody wins.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46031816][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/I0WOvSq.png[/IMG] look at how bad the wiki article is: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GamerGate[/url][/QUOTE] Oh my god the fucking wikipedia article is locked.

[QUOTE=Mr. N;46034436]Oh my god the fucking wikipedia article is locked.[/QUOTE] As it should be, I think. Have a basic explanation on the page and let things settle down before unlocking it.

[QUOTE=Wii60;45971092][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5DfrmpD.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Not surprised, I made an account and a few blogs a few days ago and from what I've seen cis white men may actually count as persecuted minority there. If I look up [I]anything[/I] relating to social issues I'll probably have seen wilful ignorance or hate speech half a page down. Somehow this site where you actually can discuss in long form manages to be worse than Twitter in that regard. There's positively a flood of art and random anime/video games weirdness though, which means I'm going to keep using the site.

Holy shit there's a type of ant called gamergate.

[QUOTE=xxncxx;45974927]Editor in Chief of The Escapist: [img]http://puu.sh/bycml/d9971b5390.png[/img] I actually got to see this guy in person today at UNC for a panel about gaming basically. They touched a little on GamerGate but he and those with him definitely made it clear that they support the cause of bringing more transparency and legitimacy to the industry so I thought that'd be nice to share.[/QUOTE] "What is a UNC?"

[QUOTE=Impact1986;46034560]Damn ants! Bugging our videogames![/QUOTE] You know, I just realized. We're the ones using the SST references, these fuckers don't even know SST.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46034640] uhm [/QUOTE] "Instead I will ban people I disagree with, like you."

[QUOTE=Wii60;45975946][IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bxde-plCIAETWBo.jpg:large[/IMG] more info about stuff similar to that here: [url]http://www.zenofdesign.com/my-artistic-freedom-is-fine-thank-you/[/url][/QUOTE] I think I wrote this before, but it really is extremely annoying if you just post screencaps without links. If you just take an image from someone else it would still be really great if you typed out that url and saved the effort for 10+ others. (Not to mention that you're technically posting unsubstantiated claims by not doing that.)

I thought we already knew neoGAF was literally a shit hole.

[QUOTE=Devodiere;45976618]I actually found that LISTEN and BELIEVE thing from Anita's presentation pretty funny. The implication that people aren't listening and believing their experiences, I'm not sure whether it comes from condescension to just [I]believe[/I] what they say, not realising that experiences are subjective and that what you feel isn't necessarily truth, or just flat out arrogance that people couldn't possibly understand and disagree, they must just not be listening to what is said. Worst of all though is that listening and believing doesn't include discussing. A debate is between peers, each have their own arguments and make their case on equal grounds as adults, but this along with her history of not addressing any criticism shows she's not really interested in that. Funny for someone about equality to set up that kind of dynamic with the public.[/QUOTE] Are there any recordings of this? Even if there's nothing official something [I]should[/I] have leaked. [editline]21st September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=kapin_krunch;45977603]Holy shit,[URL="https://twitter.com/TheBestGamers"] @TheBestGamers[/URL] are spitting out some fucking tight words on twitter right now about Tim Schafer and this whole thing. He's even dropped his persona for a little bit to be full on about what he's saying. I would make a image showing it all but it's a tonne of tweets and he's still tweeting about it.[/QUOTE] I assume you or someone else here hit favourite or retweet on some of those. It would be nice to have a link since it would be difficult to find them now just from the vague +-1 day timestamp here on Facepunch. [editline]21st September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Rockeiro123;45978876]Choked on it and closed his twitter.[/QUOTE] Again. I expect him to be back in 3 months tops.

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46034752]Are there any recordings of this? Even if there's nothing official something [I]should[/I] have leaked.[/QUOTE] hopefully someone releases it online i want to see how insane it is

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;45979147]Woops my bad then[/QUOTE] The fake account is pure gold though, channels the role perfectly while being a lot more sane than the original :v: [editline]21st September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Wii60;46034873]hopefully someone releases it online i want to see how insane it is[/QUOTE] I wonder if we'll ever get a documentation about modern cults featuring stuff like this... I'd watch it, and it would fit right in even with crazy sensationalist channels like Discovery without making stuff up like they usually do. I'm actually tempted to chip in for that Sarkeesian Effect thing since from what I've seen from videos posted after that terrible pitch one, they actually seem to do journalistic work and provide sources/evidence. [editline]21st September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Banned?;45979323][url]http://imgur.com/a/Xwqrv[/url] Done.[/QUOTE] I suppose this is why one should read up to the end of the thread before asking something :v: Thanks!

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46034752]It would be nice to have a link since it would be difficult to find them now just from the vague +-1 day timestamp here on Facepunch..[/QUOTE] Search my posts in this thread, I made an imgur album.

[QUOTE=Banned?;45979323][url]http://imgur.com/a/Xwqrv[/url] Done.[/QUOTE] Ooh, The Iconoclasts! I can attest to everything about that game being completely amazing. Seems like it's still not released though, I probably would have noticed that. Actually, [URL="http://www.konjak.org/"]everything the dev makes is incredible good[/URL]. [URL="http://www.konjak.org/index.php?folder=4&file=11"]Play his Zelda fan game[/URL], it's awesome! (The soundtrack too, for some reason konjak is good at every single discipline needed to make good games. All his stuff is extremely polished too, which is probably the reason why he makes so few games.) I actually bought Noitu Love 2: Devolution a second time when it was released on Steam :v:

The new leak from 4Chan must be like, karmic justice for the bullshit pulled on /v/ and /b/.

[QUOTE=Swilly;46035219]The new leak from 4Chan must be like, karmic justice for the bullshit pulled on /v/ and /b/.[/QUOTE] New leak? You mean the supposed Skype transcript?

[QUOTE=Banned?;45979323][url]http://imgur.com/a/Xwqrv[/url] Done.[/QUOTE] This really hits me hard, because aside from physics the things I really love are good stories, people and games. There's something I want to create when I have the opportunity to, but I feel like I could never release it because it would be completely misunderstood if the climate got that incredibly toxic :( Well, who knows what the future holds. I still have years of work and learning ahead of me before I can even think about making this, so it could be much better once I actually manage to. The best I can do right now is writing generic game libraries I can use as stepping stones later on.

[QUOTE=Swilly;46035237]The new Nudes.[/QUOTE] Oh shit. I'm ASM'ing at the moment, so I can't look for myself. Care to give an overview?
