While it's possible their intention has changed, someone who goes into this all for the money is at great risk of going corrupt.

money was a little aside to that, this is a cherry picked post, and i don't actually expect to make much if any at all. we're currently operating at a loss and that is okay. it's grown and changed a lot since its inception

[editline]6th December 2014[/editline]

i think it's pretty clear this whole thing actually means something to me

[QUOTE=uber.;46644339]Didn't you guys have a discussion thread for that website. Where did that go?[/QUOTE]

never had one, we might once we tighten it up. it's still in very early days and we have a lot of stuff we know we need to improve now that we've launched

seriously i encourage anybody to shoot me a message either on here or through the various emails we have on our site with any issues you have/anything you think should be changed.
at the end of the day i just want something i can be proud of!

Yes, and I hope you don't take it as a full personal assault or an attack on the project. I want to believe that you guys have the right intentions, and I understand the KTT isn't always 100% serious, but I hope you understand as well that that post made some of us ( at least me) concerned. I'm gonna stop de-railing the thread now.

PS. the site looks baller nice work.

Didn't you guys have a discussion thread for that website. Where did that go?

Since the beginning of this year, Gawker has lost $600,000 dollars.

Sounds about right.

[Not DuCT]

So I had my first GG/SJW dream last night.

Me and other people we're all at a place playing SSB for Wii U, and none other than Anita shows up. However, she wasn't her regular self, as everytime I would introduce myself to new people, I would accidentally say my name was Tulip, which would result in a glomp like hug from Sark, saying how awesome it was for me to reject my masculinity. Now this started to piss me off, so I would start saying prissy stuff and repeatably bear hug Anita. That got her back to her usual self, spouting on about harassment.

And then I woke up.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;46644875]Sounds about right.[/QUOTE]

Fine, let them maintain that mentality. Hopefully it just means they'll fuck up and give us more shit to bite into them over.

it has worked so far

I don't think we've truly won until Gawker ceases to exist.

[QUOTE=Quiet;46645236]I don't think we've truly won until Gawker ceases to exist.[/QUOTE]

I don't believe it's a job of winning.

It's reform. It's constant, it's ongoing, and the effects should not be push-pin points.

We're playing an MMO, not CoD.

Sargon responded to that 25 Priveleges video.

[Mickyan]

I like sargon's videos but sometimes I have to wonder what the hell is he thinking with some of his remarks

Ad hominems about appearance and sexual activity make him sound really petty and immature
That video was particularly bad in that regard

He could've torn McIntosh's video apart like he did with the previous one about 'narratives' but he went for cheap shots and not really making any good points

Kinda disappointing

I loved it though. "queerbag" left me laughing pretty hard and I'm gay myself.

I used to like this guy- I found it really funny how we have the same name online. But it's not just his views on Gamergate- he's revealed himself to actually be a little bit of an arsehole. This saddens me.

Not really sure how to word this in a way for non developer types to understand, but I'll give it a go:

1. Developer A submits a code change that simply changes a gendered pronoun.
2. Developer B says no, as it's trivial, and doesn't add or improve functionality.
3. Developer B gets thrown under the bus, nailed to a cross, and booted out.
4. The main developers realize that the project is being run by idiots, and take their ball to play somewhere else.
5. Uber, which had just recently had to deal with a sjw smear campaign, jumped to the new project almost immediately.

Am I crazy or is that Tim Schafer?
