I'm not gonna slight a guy who decided to take a principled stance that cost him a third of his income. I honestly cannot say I would have done the same.

I'd have had trouble not saying something;  but good lord how sheltered do you have to be to have a literal meltdown where you get pale faced and leave and can barely remember what happened over the next several minutes over sexist rabble?

Not trying to talk shit, but man... has he never heard anything like that?

More fodder for my conspiracy.

There's no way an adult who has had business meetings in the past would be so completely shattered over a banal sexist joke.

I dunno, like I said I appreciate the chutzpah but surely there was a better way to remain principled than that.

Yep. I’m gonna go with things that never happened.

Even if it did it would be more constructive to say ‘please don’t make sexist jokes’ instead of randomly getting up and leaving.

I am. even if he's telling the complete truth he's a dumbass for getting heated and dropping the contract instead of taking the sexist's money and donating it to planned parenthood or a womens' shelter or something productive. I promise you the next guy who will take the money won't be so generous. All he's done is lose money to earn kudos from a video game forum who hates video games.

[halfanhourglass]

And here I was thinking I might actually buy something from them. I'm so tired, so tired all the time.

CDPR is a Polish company. Poland is a country currently governed by a far-right basically fascist party. The type of party that is very popular with white men. White men are overrepresented in game companies.

I would say connect the dots but it's literally like two dots.

Polish people basking in their privilege. 

[Pwnz]

I don't even know what they're upset about with the screen grabs without a string of assumptions. Maybe the game will depict people that are bigots, like gta, context matters.

[stufte]

Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077! Also can't wait for the threads about it  on REE to be typically shit on by the progressive morality police.

[Pwnz]

Yeah cyberpunk is gonna make me build a new rig. My 2012 rig with a 3770k and a 1080ti and 16 GB of ram is hitting bottlenecks with CPU and RAM. I'll build a ridiculous rig and the game at rtm will still probably struggle, but CDPR will keep performance patching it and it'll run 60fps within a year.

Also I keep going back to the apparent suit for the 8k on an active project. There's no way the damages would just be for the 8k investment, what kinda contracts are these people signing?

How are these people qualified to make a cyberpunk game?

tfw when you make a game called Cyberpunk but all you know about Cyberpunk is that there are neat neon lights on it

lol at anyone thinking CDPR would ever do the Cyberpunk genre justice in regards to social issues

They’ll know who I am once I post this here so I’ll update you guys if they ban me from the server for sharing this exchange:

don't worry on that front, no dev reads or gives a shit about resetti.

If this idiot would spend a minute on wikipedia he'd know that the large cities in Poland are left leaning while the countryside is right leaning, you know, like in many other countries. Now guess where CDPR has their headquarter

[benjipwns]

OP breaks it down for you morons not good enough to pull off black ops in official video game discords:

Maybe people aren't quite understanding the two issues - one is that I wish the CDPR team would address diversity and representation more publicly and better.

The other is that a mod they have, who I believe is unpaid, said something shitty.

[benjipwns]

Era kept trying to convince me to give CD Projekt another chance after the last three scandals. But I really don't know about these guys.

Even if it's just an officially-sanctioned "volunteer", it's really hard not to call this a pattern...

[nachobro]

i like that the dev response was basically "we're not ready to talk about our world" and that's a  DECLINES TO COMMENT ON DIVERSITY IN GAMES

UNIONIZE MODS

[benjipwns]

I think we all need to understand that they're going to be some embarrassing ass shit in 2077. The staff involved doesn't seem to mind and seems be biting their tongues when it comes to talking about their vision of a "diverse city", their concept of which seems to be just a lot of worn stereotypes from other mediums.

I have no little doubt that 2077's "whore trading cards" is going to focus around race and gender relations.

Wait what?

In the Witcher 1, you get what are essentially trading cards of all the women you sleep with, most of which are prostitutes. It was a heavily criticized aspect of the game and it didn't return for the sequels.

[benjipwns]

Can someone sum up in 1 or 2 sentences what Cyberpunk did to fall from grace there?  I vaguely remember something about not having a trans option for character creation - was that it?

The 'assume their gender' thing?  Thought so.  Oh, well.  Their loss.  Those hyper-privileged Pollacks may not be able to screw in a lightbulb, but they know how to make a fine ass vidya game.  Shit looks fire.

[Occam]

Aluminium drink cans are coated with an extremely thin layer of epoxy varnish/lacquer that prevents oxidation and protects the beverage from absorbing aluminium taste. riotous is brains and beauty

If it's coated with plastic, it's fine, of course. But I have seen aluminum yogurt lids that weren't coated on the inside.

Edit: For instance
https://m.alibaba.com/product/60767696756/Aluminum-foil-lids-for-yogurt-Pre.html?s=p

These are pure aluminum.

[benjipwns]

OP of that thread actually has a summary of it:

Apolitical stances are a defense of the status quo and they’re far more tiring than the small effort to be progressive.

Let’s talk CD Projekt history-

We know they issued no apology and fired the guy who did the GoG transphobic joke, and it went down allegedly like this

On 22nd October, Polish game seller GOG - a part of CD Projekt - found itself in trouble again on Twitter. It had insensitively appropriated the trans civil rights hashtag WontBeErased. "Classic PC games #WontBeErased on our watch," it tweeted. "Yeah, how's that for some use of hashtags?"

That wasn’t the only bad tweet from GoG - they also tweeted a GamerGate supporting meme.

And do recall, CyberPunk 2077’s account tweeted a joke about trans issues as well - and we have no idea what the consequence was for them to correct it internally so that person may still be on the team unless we know otherwise for that account now

“Did you just assume their gender,” the tweet said. The account was responding to a fan saying that they wanted more from the “guys” at Gamescom.

Maybe we got off on the wrong foot 3 times, CD Projekt.

"We want to treat marginalized groups with respect, and fuck Nazis" shouldn't be a difficult thing to say.

this is the "GamerGate supporting meme" that got a bunch of websites to proclaim they won't cover GOG anymore and got Fez (lol) yanked from the store in solidarity:

And when the game doesn't end up an alt-right fantasy (big shocker) they'll probably pet themselves on the back and think it was their feedback

This thread is full of trash people barely pretending to hide their glee at the possibility that the report doesn’t bury Trump. Stop with the faux defeatism and just admit it.

Every day for the last x years Mueller was going to bring down Trump.

Now the report is out no one expects anything. Weird.

[benjipwns]

Trump is old news, we have real and actually dangerous enemies to fight now like Bernard and PewDiePie.
