Is that something that gains folks credibility? Having gauges and tattoos and stuff? Not that I'm against them or anything, I'm just curious as to why it is a "thing" in the industry.

@DavidSGallant is also the creator of "I get this call every day", a simulator where you work in a call center. He developed this game while he was employed by the Canadian Government working in a call center, and was fired as a result due to feelings that it "potentially compromised the security of our clients".

I guess this got him a lot of cred in the indie games community, but I dont think he has worked on anything or with anyone since. A year after his firing, he has got I Get This Call Every Day HD greenlit on steam.

I Get This Call Every Day was greenlit for Steam back in April of 2014. I've decided that I'm not going to bring it to the service. Steam is central to "gamer" culture - the same culture aggressively harassing many of my friends (or being passive when that harassment is happening). I've had enough. I'm not going to contribute to this destructive culture anymore.

do you have brightly dyed hair, facial piercings, wear glasses, and have a beard (if male) while wearing clothes that come out of hipster lumberjack central? because it's not unique anymore. do whatever you want, but saying that your appearance has people "clutching their pearls" makes me chuckle

I have glasses because I am nearsighted but otherwise no. I know people who have those things, and I don't care and people who spout off this "the biggest conformists are the non-conformists! *rips bong*" poo poo are really annoying so I had to get it out.

They aren't non-conformists?

They can wear whatever they want, but when they're walking beside five other people that look like palette swaps of themselves while claiming they're not conforming and literally saying things like "clutching their pearls" there's a good chance that they're sort of dumb completely outside their appearances

Who cares? They're just people who are doing what they want to do, it's these pearl-clutching morons who make a big deal out of (non-) conformity and apply it to a situation where it doesn't apply. The perception is that "oh you're just getting a piercing to be a SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE, haha you're just like everyone else, idiot!" where in reality it's more like getting a pair of shoes or something.

Conforming to the standards of your chosen sub culture isn't expressing individuality or uniqueness.

You aren't proving how different you are by looking exactly like your peers.

Yeah, but the point is that no one (or most people, rather) is claiming to be a different special snowflake because of their fashion sense. That's a judgment applied by outsiders, so it's kind of irrelevant.
