So this company called Digital Homicide has a bunch of shovelware games on Steam. They tried (and failed) to sue a guy for $10M who had the audacity to call their garbage games garbage. They then tried to sue 100 random Steam users for $18M, subpoenaing Valve for their identities. Valve then delisted their games for being hostile to Steam users. I wonder if Valve will actually stick to their guns and keep them delisted, unlike basically every other time they've delisted a game on their own initiative, one of which included a dev threatening to kill Gaben.

They've actually upped the amount they're trying to sue Jim Sterling for to $15,000,000.

Frankly it could go either way with Valve. While Valve is usually very happy to just roll over when they could potentially make money off a game, AFAIK this is the first time a dev has tried mass-suing their users (to the point of attempting to subpoena Valve) so they might have more of a stake in this.

To be fair, Valve only relisted it after the game was sold for a lump sump to another publisher (that death threat guy didn’t work at).

I would bet 18 million dollars that this was the point of that 'lawsuit.' They're the kind of chucklefucks who would try the doxxing thing from time to time.

Also 'a bunch of shovelware' really doesn't cover it with DH- they're basically the poster child for developers making GBS threads up the Greenlight service with dozens of half-made default Unity-asset-store games. The fact that they do this despite not having the temperament or PR skills to deal with even one of their games being criticised turns them from 'typical stupid Unity developer' to 'very special case of narcissistic self-destruction.'

Probably moving the snake enough to count the number of eggs (a dumb move still, snakes can be very protective parents). Probably got overconfident but tbh no one should be loving with retics alone anyway, even a calm one.

As was mentioned it's clearly just a facial mask of some kind and then when the looked at each other their brains spontaneously fell out of their ears and they decided to take make that stupid snapchat post.

The thing is, it's not that their brains fell out of their ears, it's that behind closed doors white people think it's super hilarious to pretend to be black. Like, it's a thing - the joke being one's clearly hilarious, overt whiteness. White dads make 'god it feels good to be a gangsta' jokes and giggle gleefully to themselves. These dumb girls were probably sincerely shocked by this backlash, because it seems so clearly in the vein of that line of joking in white culture. If you've only spent time around white people, this kinda thing can be a slap in the face.

A well-deserved one, by the way. They need a bit of rear end-kicking coal-raking to thicken their skin and learn what's-what.

In the video interview the reporter specifically asks why they added that comment and their response was "not that this is a good thing but that word just kind of happens in our friend group... Also we're a big family so that word doesn't offend anyone in our group". Classy.

I think the girl on the swing at 1:20 is the first time I've ever actually clutched at my face in a Fail Video. Thankfully you can see that she was fine and it was in fact her elbows and not her face which dragged across the ground.

The "Well gently caress me" leg lift at 1:49 was priceless

Because (according to the information in the ad) he wants to implement gun-control legislation, in part due to his professional experience using weapons. "I know what I'm loving talking about when I say we need background checks, guys."

It's a single issue ad: he's explaining why he supports background checks for gun purchases, while also explaining that he supports second amendment rights and demonstrating that he knows guns better than his opponent.

It's not clear to me how his military experience informs him about background checks, but this isn't my home turf. (I'm in favour of background checks just intuitively, but I can't connect field-stripping to the validity of his presented position. Ooh-rah nonetheless!)

He's deflecting the criticism of his opponent, it's not that complicated. It shows that he wants background checks not because he's anti-gun or doesn't know what guns are all about, but because it's the sane thing to do. How is that confusing?
