You know I could totally understand if she had an awesome personality or was funny or was even smart. Physical looks aren't everything.

However even if you totally believe her side of the story, she has a pretty poo poo personality and her youtube video is proof she is not smart or funny.

She is literally attractive to people because she's a girl who tries to make video games. That's it.

F.. F.. gently caress... the Patriarchy is serious now. They're launching large-scale raids. Assaults against our sanctified homes. Our homepages.

If I worked there I'd have freaked out long ago and smeared toner all over my naked body, flopping around to spell out "I TOLD YOU SO!" on the carpet until campus security could drag me away.
:xbone:
Its accepted Good Journalism to have an obit fleshed out and ready to go, right? Therefore is it Good Games Journalism to at least have an outline ready on Zoe and Phil, given the statically high chance of them succumbing to a histrionic lifestyle?

What I'm asking is, how many self-referential mentions do you think Pat 'No Journalistic Ethics' Kelpek has put into his Indie in-crowd hagiography at this point?

the gently caress does doxx even mean anymore
i thought it was to reveal a bunch of personal information, predominantly the name and address, of an anonymous person

guess it means hacking a website and changing it to something else

What a fucker. His company was going down anyways, so he decides to stage this poo poo just so he can say "gamers drove me out of the industry, I had to go out." as opposed to "welp my indie game company couldn't cut it."
