I can understand having an alt account, I suppose, though I can't *really* fathom why you'd bother. But the idea of having an alt account to reply to yourself and boost your perceived popularity is just so pathetic. Like how do you even start to type a response to yourself without thinking 'wait what the gently caress am I doing' and choosing not to?

That's exactly what I was thinking HopperUK. You are so smart. And cool.

Tom Walker is playing Grand Theft Auto IV.

He is playing it normally, except all cars have their speed set to 999999.

he does not seem to be reuploading the VODs anywhere, so watch'em while you can or archive them yourself. here's the most recent one but there's three others

Think it's happened 2-3 times in recent memory?

I am glad my second and third profile existing will never, ever come back to bite me in the rear end. Sure, it did to those other people, but not me.

I was mostly curious because people brought it up without context. I don't have any real ties or feeling for Dark Id. I never watched their lps or interacted with them.

The internet really brings out some weird poo poo in people. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than before.

The general idea is that they are hired by game development studios to help write characters with a focus on diversity. The CEO of Sweet Baby said some stuff that people didn't like, and now gamers are using it as an excuse to be openly racist because of course they are.

Yeah, they consulted on a few popular titles and the worst people decided that they were a cabal of satanic pedophiles singlehandedly making the games woke.

Just losers trying to make Gamergate happen again, this happens maybe every 6 months or so, it's a nothingburger

Who gives a poo poo? We know the video games industry sucks rear end at diversity and representation, so here's a group who's here to get paid to think A LOT about it and help make the games. What's the problem?

sweet baby supposedly did work on susqua, so it's given losers a new veneer of leverage to point to them as the reason the game's writing is less than stellar

Consulting to check that you're not making some massive blunder due to a blind spot in your relatively small writing team seems sensible to me. A lot of game dev teams are solidly mono-cultural, they might try to be diverse and culturally sensitive but there is a real chance they're going to make some dumb mistake or just be poo poo at it because it's all second hand.

AAA studios should probably be able to do that in-house, but you could say that about a lot of niche functions that regularly get outsourced to contractors.

They're just not great contract writers. Recent example they did a Woke Lex Luther in the Suicide Squad disaster, pissing off both the incels and seriousl DC fans. But I repeat myself. Or maybe it's intentional and they write out of genius hate for publishers and gamers.

Yeah, this is something that sadly needs to exist, in the same way that intimacy coordinators need to be on movie sets. It's just a huge minefield and relying on the personal judgement of every one of the many, many people involved is not enough
