MrKurteous, do gaming w The Worst Lesson E3 Taught Me

This article is about the author’s personal relationship to E3 and how it reminds him about unhealthy work habits he has, which he also thinks are commonly occuring in games journalism.

I think it’s very fair not to like the article, I wasn’t overly interested in it myself, but honestly I can’t help but disagreeing with the negativity directed towards the author in many of these comments. Go ahead and dislike the point of the article, but making a uncharitable reading about the author just seems silly to me.

Look, I’m sorry you’re cat died dude, but just because some bad shit happened to you during E3 doesn’t mean that the escapism in video games can’t provide a healthy relief for other people. It’s also no different from books or TV in this aspect.

Honestly an incredibly narcissistic article

I didn’t find this article to be helpful or well written. I am not surprised they work for kotaku.

moreeni,

They don’t work for Kotaku anymore, Aftermath is a worker-owned website.

That title is the exact reason i’m going into aviation maintenance in December. Being able to take things apart and put them back together again plus fiddling around with them to see how they work? Perfect

BartsBigBugBag,

That will be cool! I do a lot of repair, but aviation is another level! Fixing things is honestly the most satisfying labor overall for me. I take any opportunity I can to learn a new device. I’m in assembly these days, though, so it’s mostly for friends and family. Do you need to go to school for aviation maintenance?

Bloodwoodsrisen,

I’m going to be going to a trade school for a few years to learn everything I need! AIM (Aviation Institute of Maintenance) has locations all over the US

I heard Chris mention this when GiantBomb had him on their podcast a week or two ago. It seems like a wild time.

With the resurgence of city builders, it would be a great time to remaster this game. I know my wife would adore the vibes of this game but would be frustrated by the outdated UX.

Oh now we all dislike Geoff Keighley? Finally noticed how much of a charisma devoid dingus he is, have we?

How the fuck have tech and game journalists become the most outspoken critics of the trump administration in the media??

Wolf314159, (edited ) do gaming w Everyone Who Worked On A Video Game Needs To Be In The Credits [Aftermath]

They should hide somewhere in the game itself the real credits of the people that spent significant effort to make the game. An Easter Egg if you will. Like just after defeating the dragon, you find a scroll in their horde with the real credits.

Cevilia, do gaming w Diablo Devs Unionize Following Layoffs And Dissatisfaction With AI, Pay | Aftermath

Did this title get cut off?

PatheticGroundThing,

It’s just a journalist thing to replace an ‘and’ with a comma. The devs are dissatisfied with AI and pay.

Cevilia,

Weird, the ampersand is right there. But ok :)

I’ll post my comment from another thread on the same subject: I have very little respect for Valens’ writing after seeing articles spreading lies and essentially striking out at a vtuber company for being rejected by them. Vice is crap, but Valens is no better.

Rose,

Not a great idea to call someone out for spreading lies but not support the claim with evidence. Also, what are your honest thoughts on Gamergate?

@bread@feddit.nl avatar

I’m not going to dispute point-for-point; I exclusively post from my phone and it would be too much work. An example would be taking a clip out of context, i.e. a vtuber talking about someone else’s talking points, and portraying it as though they are the vtuber’s opinions.

Gamergate? I don’t really care.

Rose,

You could still name names and link the article(s), then offer a verifiable summary as to why you believe the coverage is inaccurate. You’re not disputing that Kirsche is transphobic and that there is a genuine-looking clip of them being racist though, are you?

bread,

I’ll reply to the two last bits:

  1. Notice how it’s specifically about activists, not all trans people. As far as I’m aware she has not expressed hate for trans people.
  2. I think she was discussing Kier Starmer’s statement on the matter. There are two sides to “The Great Replacement Theory.” One is factual, and supported by people such as Starmer, and one is an antisemitic theory. She was talking about the former. That’s not racism.

At first I read it as “friendship isn’t real” and thought that was a weird thing to say
