Hey come on guys. It's not like GAF echo-chamber bad. I mean at least they didn't just quote him and say "wow" now they they're doing "LOL" that's a step forward right?

W is a much more complex looking letter than L, so if anything I see this as another regression.

Exact same thread existed on GAF. This is basically just a mod application at this point

That OP is pretty charged.

Even Poland today is 99.9% white.  And of those white people, nearly all are Polish.  A few Germans and neighboring European groups, but that's about it.  And the game is based on medieval Poland which is going to be even more homogeneous.  OP doesn't have a case.

actually medieval poland was less homogenous then now because
-the germans didnt murder 25% of the population
-the polish hadnt deported all germans
-polish borders where approx 300km to the east including many other nationalities

source: being polish and a degree in history

that said why does witcher 3 get all this slack? its a cultural work

well Mr. I have a college degree mcsmarty pants, how do you explain away the fact that Geralt can't have gay sex with prostitutes? Were there no gay witchers in medieval Poland? #notinclusive

Well I stand corrected.  And also lulz.

The last interesting EA game was like 5 years ago though, scamming or not. Not defending lootboxes, but I don't think they were in any game I've played in the last couple of years. I.e. play better games and avoid the problem altogether

So with Google/SpaceX plan to launch their satellite network in 2019/2020 wouldn't that effectively undercut Comcast/Vertizon's/ATT's ability mess with people's internet? There would finally be another provider for everyone int he country.

Not having read anything about those programs, but having worked with Sat network sin the past, all I can say is if that is your one hope, you're fucked.

- Typically an 800ms ping, even if you pay up for an SCPC link. Its just going to be that bad.

- KA-Band ha sit the worst, but satellite internet gets hit by Rain-Fade BAD. Any moisture in the air? Your internet cuts out.

Ehhhh. I'm not going to put this at the feet of just trans people. The people on the right have handled it universally awful. Aversion to them is 100% justified. The problem is that the opposite side, who has very real arguments, are often blinded by ideology. Which, to be fair, is usually nothing more than a defense mechanism. There's legit science out there that shows that being trans is very valid and real and conservatives choose to ignore it. Which forces trans people to double down because the other side is a brick fucking wall. Basically, it isn't a discussion. It's a giant riot every week and it's getting so tiresome having to constantly fight for your own humanity.

As far as I remember satellite is for the download leg only and you have to have some other bullshit connection handling upload (which is usually pathetic and super high latency if you're resorting to satellite)

Novid, please answer my Batman question, it is of great importance to me.

[clothedmacuser]

You know, that might happen, and it's horrible that that might happen, but at the same time if the university is censoring debate that exists in the real world and it's impossible to extricate that from the backlash some individuals might face, the information still has to be released.

The same with the Brett Winstein scandal, releasing the email he sent regardless of the consequences to his life (and there were consequences) had to be weighed against the newsworthiness of the content.

Arguing that the recording shouldn't have been released because some people might get backlash is a disingenuous complaint, and I doubt you would care if someone you disagreed with was the focus on the animus.

You are falling into the trap set up by the far right thinking that this is a question of freedom of speech and that we somehow have to 'tolerate' and actively invite and encourage the inclusion of far-right opinions and arguments in order to 'defeat them'. Freedom of speech has nothing to do with a university course and how to teach.

University courses have curricula. They have hiring practices. They have regulations stating that what topics and areas to teach. All the time teachers and professors decide on what literature and authors to include and exclude when teaching. All the time they decide what to say and how to balance teaching, course requirements, hand-ins, exams, etc. When they choose not to include everything, would you call this censorship as well? Obviously not. We constantly make value judgments on what fits best with the limited time in a course and not having the time to pick up on some far-right academic's views on gender pronouns and his ties to nazis is not a case of censorship - it's just saying that it's not worth the time of day.[/b]

Freedom of speech is just the societal equivalent to "ethics in games journalism". It's just a smokescreen to entice unaffected and unknowing people to listen to and recognize bigoted arguments as legitimate political positions. It has nothing to do with this specific case of university teaching.

Yeah who is this Transhuman poster, and why is he such a piece of shit? Also his username might be bigoted, there's a 50/50 chance.

LOL, lime is now a teacher. We need a list of all the identities Lime has claimed.

Besides which, the easy answer is: It's the fucking Nordic Countries in the 13th century along with it being a fantasy world that had a "conjunction of the spheres"/world-dimension traveling between monsters and vampires and humans/elves/dwarves.

This is the same dude who complained that you couldn't have gay sex with hookers in The Witcher 3.

I mean to be fair: That one is a legit complaint. You can see male prostitutes in the houses (as they're labeled clearly) but 1) Geralt is straight and 2) the developer is Polish so fat-chance Gay Sex With Canon Straight Male would've ever happened.

You can't have it both ways tho. It can't really be "well it's Nordic" and "it's magic." Surely black people can exist in a fantasy world where magic plays a bigger role than accurate historical facts.

Who's to say the Conjunction of the Spheres only had the White Countries put into the Dwarve/Elf's world along with vampires? Why does African countries have to be somehow justified in this work? I mean if we're going to attack the Witcher, we might as well attack Lord of the Rings, Lion Witch Wardrobe, etc. etc. etc. fantasy novels that simply didn't care to explain certain characters skin tones. Where does it end? Hence "It's Magic, I ain't gotta explain shit" to get around all these nitpicks.

I mean if you want your Geralt to be black in your head cannon (despite the fact the books say he's pale due to mutations): Be my guest, I couldn't really care. But the fact is, the books were based in the "north." The books didn't have an "eastern" country like Ofiri (IIRC) that was introduced in Hearts of Stone/DLC 1 for the Witcher 3 which introduced 2 middle Eastern-looking characters. Who's to say that the Witcher 4 wouldn't have Ciri dashing further south than Nilfgaard to a new country like Ofiri?

I mean shit, CDPR retconned

I mean no harm on any fgs scene but holy shit, I have some real animosity towards the 3S players. Lmao They don't play any other games at all.

Jenner turns out to be fucking mental and you have alienated support you used to have and split the people you do have between blind support of bullshit and backpedalling.

The Bruce Jenner thing is mind boggling to me. I don't see him as a female. I can't believe people do. He still has a dick. How can he be a female?

It isn't enough to just say "i feel like a woman" that's absurd. Maybe your friends will recognize that you're a female per your wishes, but why expect society to? If you transitioned at an early age, full blown switch, the acknowledgement is justified. Switching over at like 60, eh??? Or not fully switching over... sorry, Bruce buddy but no.
