I've been following all this since the story broke. This is going to have big repercussions. Maker fired half their company almost, it's suspicious that the author was "super not fired" after having a "miscommunication", the devs banded together in a way that is already leading to RebelJam, the women have all released their own statements that have gone gangbusters everywhere across the web, and the entire world is watching and every corporation is learning hard and fast that the way they've been treating the gaming development community just went up in flames in a single day. Maker and Polaris are reeling and any and all things considered standard in the development and marketing houses are going to be questioned and will come under fire, heavily from outside, without a doubt, and enough to make changes, but the banding of the devs is the real story here. That's going to continue to grow, and knowing how terribly they're treated, revolt will happen. It's a really exciting time to be a gamer.
Holy shit. Meriadoc and eightbitsamurai. Long-story short and unrelated ish to this article, but I got Tinder right? Well Zoe came up in it and I matched with her and have no fucking idea what to say that she hasn't heard a billion times.
ButterflyEffect calls on me to help him flirt with girls. http://i.imgur.com/7aJwm3V.gif Edit: I have no idea what to say, but you're not a weirdo gaming-neckbeardcreep so you're already winning, BE. Just be natural, mah man.
Oh shut up. I tagged you and Mer since I don't know who else might care and I'm feeling intimidated which doesn't happen often in these situations. ALSO: I hope your date went well. Am I allowed to ask how it went?
I think I've mentioned before, I've actually wrote in a group with Zoe before and talked to her. Granted I kinda up and left the group we were writing together in without a word, so that might not be a good conversational starter...and she probably doesn't remember me anyways, haha. NO, YOU CAN'T ASK. In all seriousness it went well so that's good. I'm not particularly in a "relationship-y" sort of mood as of late (I fucking love myself and no one else right now), but it was nice meeting her and we've hit it off well.
I did not see that, but that's really interesting. Freaking out tonight since A: Person I know is currently on CBS Sports, and B: This happened while that is happening. Those things combined blew my mind. That's really good to here...or hear (haha...get it? I'll show myself out). This is righteous and I'm glad you're upfront about that.I fucking love myself and no one else right now
That's awesome! You should look up some of the games she's worked on and can talk about gaming in general! I think I remember you being a gamer. She also made Depression Quest that you can probably relate to right now. And invite her to Hubski! That would be awesome to talk to her here and you can hit it off on introducing her to the site.
The Hubski thing is a great idea, sent her a message, we'll have to see if she responds or not.
