After a quick browse, it seems the 'big news' is that a game has... [dramatic pause] had it's release date pushed back. Seriously who gives a gently caress?

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
I can't figure out people keep looking at the Libertarian Party as a fringe bunch of whackos rather than as a viable third party for those disgusted by Hillary and Trump.

My preferred timeline for this election had Trump screwed out of the nomination by the GOP and marching into the Libertarian convention to secure theirs.

It’s such a shame that didn’t come to pass.

A Game journalist caught wind of a rumor that the game got pushed back, and published said rumor. He was loudly criticized and called a hack and "not a true fan". When the actual announcement came out they escalated to death threats because he "Pushed sony's hand" and "Forced them to delay the game" and now they've started sending death threats to the lead developer of the game for having the audacity to release this hotly anticipated game a month and a half later than he "promised" because they're Backers and they have a right to have the game in their hands right now.


But then you look at Mighty No. 9 and Star Citizen and ?????

It's genuinely embarrassing the poo poo that happens. I heard this game reviewer talk about how she had to explain too her close friends and family who followed her on social media that the reason she was getting death and rape threats was because she gave a game a middling review (like 6/10 or some thing).

They just couldn't comprehend that stuff like this would happen over some thing so innocuous like video games.

From the stories I've heard sometimes while hunting you run into other hunters. Or, as you soon discover, poachers. Yes they will hold you up at gunpoint and take your deer. Enjoy!

Gun fans are a varied bunch, I'm sure you could tease a few rape threats out of them.

https://popehat.com/2016/05/25/fbi-actively-investigating-prenda-law-team-for-fraud/

Prenda law came to prominence for placing porn movies they owned the rights to (while claiming to have a client, who turned out to be fictitious) onto torrent sites and then suing the people who downloaded them. Between that and assorted other schemes they illegally raked in 3+ million.

Their misadventures in law came out when someone stood up to them and judge didn't let them do their usual withdraw and made them account for themselves, and then everything started to unravel.

There's more to come when the DOJ actually prosecute and then their inevitable slapfight with a judge and rambling lunatic defence but given they probably thought they'd gotten away without any criminal proceedings, this is a nice gently caress you.

I don't know. It seems to me that every hobby has a core of maladjusted lunatics who lash out at everything. My thinking is that anyone who associated their identity with their hobby has gone around the bend.
