well I don't know about you but if people want to donate to a charity and also get something (subjectively) neat I'm not inclined to dissuade anyone
also, FP's character should be named Rusty, after everyone's favorite mod and the game that we've become known for.

I was wondering how long she would last. I could tell when Reddit was trying to make their own that the meme was just about to die.

nah I get that entirely that's just me being salty, don't sweat it, rate me dumb and move on. I totally forgot there's a charity behind it.
at first there's this 'me too" element but then I realize that's the point, we all gotta join up to kill the greater enemy so if we need a little avatar that's great
[editline]3rd September 2014[/editline]
so there's my 2 cents. We make our avatar a shitty little chav with gross hair, a can of soda, a cheap gasmask, and a bunch of tacticool airsoft gear, and we name him Rusty.
Found this on 4chan.

Apparently Zoe is still doing this.
is /v/ dead for anyone else? I can't post, and refreshing does nothing

I don't think she's dead, I just think they got way to happy way to fast.
When she gets into a game, or gets her own. If its a good game, they'll be proud.
By the way, Destiny Release is #GamerGate's time limit
people are betting thats when journalists will attempt to wipe all this away with a big game release.

You know this actually brings up a good point about women devs.
Just like the horrendous practice in Hollywood, sex is what gives women connections. This completely blows any argument about mysgony out the window because we're actually fighting against this system of connections that are created by this and money.
Now if I could only spell mysgongngnggy right.

call me a cynic but Destiny's release will come before any change, trust me. If these last few weeks are any indicator, we've done nothing but kill Phil Fish, and that was really us giving a gun to an already suicidal crazy man
I'm loving #NotYourShield.
One of my biggest issues with SJW's is how they all spend their time telling minorites how offended they SHOULD be.

The ones in my town aren't. If there aren't cars around, then the crosswalk button will cause the light to change.
In fact, many of the crosswalks never seem to say go unless you press the button.

Most of the modern ones are. they are there just so people pressin them go "ok i pressed the button hope that it lets me cross faster!"
it's why cities like NYC don't even have them, because there's no point.

He's doing Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's shaping up to be one hell of a game, if you wanna watch the development videos. They're trying to make it as historically accurate as possible.
I'm not trying to sell the game it just looks cool :tinfoil:

Its great when the person telling you to check your privilege turns out to be a white middleclass male.
(I was still more privileged due to their furryism according to the chart but its was funny nonetheless.)

That simply isn't going to happen though
These people are so far up their own ass that they have the audacity to tell me, someone who has been a gamer their whole life, that _I_ am the problem with the industry. I have people on tumblr and twitter calling me a fucking idiot and that I need to educate myself because I disagree with this fucked-up philosophy, and these are people that do little more than play the most recent flavor of the month RPGMaker game and phone games.
I NEVER use this phrase because it's usually used as a purely emotional play, but how [B]DARE[/B] these assholes do this? Why have people allowed this to happen? Why are publishers listening to these people? It's actually affecting the industry at this point.
Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've been able to go onto a game review site for more than a few minutes without running into some dumb drama article about how X game is offensive and how I should feel offended?

Why is her twitter uhm "thing, dunno what it is called" "@TheQuinnspiracy"? I thought the use of Quinnspiracy came into use after the whole thing with the Five Guys.
My BIGGEST Issue with all of this is the new trend going around, saying "horray for the death of the gamer". That's the ONE THING that I literally cannot fathom, for more than one reason. "Gamers" aren't dead, but the fact that they WANT them to be truly betrays their intentions. It's like I'm reading some satire on how the feminists are going to "destroy the industry", except it's not satire.
This is the worst part to me. On twitter, tumblr, all this shit. It started with jontron. SJWs have resorted to insulting people for their looks, and what they enjoy doing with their lives. These are the same people claiming to champion LGBT rights. Trans rights. They represent [U][I][B]/ME/. [/B][/I][/U]And they're making fun of people for how they look, what they do with their free time, and their hobbies. It's like schoolyard bullying, and the journalists are supporting them. Behavior like this in ANY OTHER INDUSTRY ANYWHERE would result in immediate termination. And in the end, I'm still the bad person for speaking against it to these people, the same people who bully people who are already social recluses. I am so, so, fucking ashamed.
Sorry for the rant, but my god.

Can someone repost the video of two best friends talking about the issue or am I just imagining things or can't find it
