The Kickstarter for my game Scraps is now funded, yay. Someone asked about an alternate payment option earlier. A PayPal option is now available from the main page. Sadly OuterWorlds Online didn't make its goal, so we may never see the MOBA DOTA RTS RPG open-world sandbox exploration MMO that the world was waiting for.

Just stay far far away from this conversation and never look back, lest ye be exposed to endless cries of "Check your privilege, shitlord" and "Shut up, you SJW human being" from college-aged kids who swear up and down that they "know" politics.

You know exactly what will happen as a result of this. Do you want to read a multi-page shitfest that will eventually stray so far away from video games that it will be as if you had stepped into D&D on accident? Or do you want to save us all some stress and talk about the fact that the early beta of Wasteland 2 is pretty loving rad and I encourage you all to try it out if you have the money and the patience to deal with any bugs? Because I sure do love talking about Wasteland.

It was basically "this girl said in one Twitter tweet that she never played a megaman game, but in a forum post LATER ON she said she thought Mega Man X was the best Mega Man game. LIAR!!!!!!" It was also about how Anita Sarkeesian(she's a cutie  ) has only released three videos since her Kickstarter funded.

Her YouTube videos are pretty impressive trolling and I'm not sure that would be the best person to be community manager since their job is to make people happy, not piss them off.

Fintilgin posted:No idea, and finding out apparently involves watching an annoying voiced man narrate gaming news for twenty loving minutes, so I'll probably never know. Some lady who submitted OC of Beck from Mighty Number 9 as a girl got hired by Comcept as a community manager. Some people looked through her tweets, found out that she had never played Mega Man before and was hired through her boyfriend (or best friend, dunno) and proceeded to get upset that she was hired despite being unqualified in their eyes. Unfortunately, some people went about it in the dumbest, most poo poo-headed way possible, and now you've got people straw-manning the hell out of all of them as misogynists. Really dumb situation that makes me glad I didn't donate. And I realize that, despite making a rant about talking about this poo poo, I'm talking about this poo poo. So, I'm just gonna go, see if I can find where I left 20 or some of my IQ points at, and chill out while playing Wasteland 2. Seriously, cannot recommend it enough and I'm eager to play the other two games of the Holy Kickstarter CRPG Trinity, Pillars of Eternity and Torment.

You don't have to have played any of the games before to get the job, or any games job. It's a professional position, not the nominated "Biggest Fan in the Universe". If she has actual CM qualifications and experience then what's the big deal?

Yeah ok this is going well, so let's talk about something that all Americans can really understand and get behind - a game about the 1979 Iranian Revolution where you play an idealistic young Iranian revolutionary overthrowing the US backed Shah and his government  It seems like an interesting setting, but it's not going to fund sadly. Possibly the gameplay lacking a little bit? NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Dec 14, 2013 |
