@xianc78 this hurts me because it is true and observable even at my own company. There's a bunch of internal special interest groups that I get emails from that I can't opt out of. Of all of them, I think the POC one is the most annoying. I will never forget when I was told to stop saying "hispanic" and to instead say "brown".

You would think it would be the other way around or they would tell you to say "Latinx".

I honestly don't give a fuck about the demographics of the company as long as they are competent and passionate. The key difference between western game studios of the past and western game studios now is that you can clearly see talent and passions with the former. The latter cares more about identity politics than the games themselves.

Nothing that filters couldn't fix

@coolboymew @Binkle He might be forced to use a proprietary email/webmail client that doesn't include filters.

@xianc78

I think you have never seen the studio developing Dwarf Fortress.

@nerdman I can't believe that a game studio involved with such a niche game would be so pozzed.

@xianc78

Toady isn't pozzed I don't think. It's like you took the schizophrenia out of Terry and got him to write games instead of operating systems.

@nerdman Didn't the Steam re-release get rid of some "politically incorrect" terms? It was probably developed by a different team, but still.

@xianc78

I haven't heard any of that actually. You might be right. If I have any energy left I'll find out more. Thanks for the heads up!

@xianc78

Whatever the postmodernist faggottry touches, it first poisons it and ultimately it breaks it.

I left the corpo IT world due to these reasons and there is no money I would return for.

@xianc78 Ion Storm even was a better company than the ones we have now, and Daikatana was a better game.

@collappsar I never played Daikatana. It looks like a bad game, but I don't think it was bad enough to destroy Romero's career. I can cut Romero some slack as he switch engines part-way through development.

@xianc78 "Why are games so buggy and uninspired nowdays? Surely it must be the lack of unqualified women and black commie teens. ZOG money is worth more than my soul. Time to stab myself in the pus factory."
