@LibertarianBlue Western progressives being so self-absorbed and myopic that they can't imagine anything outside their miniscule "lived experience"? NO, tell me it is not so! Next you'll tell me that their inability to imagine hardship greater than their own is why they believe they're oppressed.

@LAGlobalism @BritisherPaz49 @afneil It wasn't just that they have a stake in the country as all these new additions should have the same (though if they do is debatable) but that there was the concept of hereditary peers actually acting as stewards (noblesse oblige)

@M_Bohemond The flip-flopping of the left regarding death of the author, if harnessed for energy generation, could power humanity to Alpha Centauri.

@Light_artCavern @MadamSavvy Again like piracy it's a delivery/service issue, if it means you're missing part of a twitch stream, for example, then of course people are going to find ways to improve their experience.

@raggabrash119 @morakdais @RaltsAuthor It will be abuse victims of males, the same reasoning is why teenage boys are forced out of domestic violence refuges, even if they were victims alongside their mother, simply because they are male.

@PhoenixBeRobin2 @PlayWarframe Ember and Frost are more here is a point, lock it down and the newer frames are more agile dispersal, which is why most flock to the newer ones (Temple also) the main problem is that extra armour or damage reduction doesn't fell as good a protection as overguard.

@Undoomed There are instances where temporary insanity would be appropriate as a legal defence but when it gets to you've searched prior about murdering and/or weren't taking medication then the risk to the public and deterrent should outweigh rehabilitation concerns.

@HAmorata Just like the clergy with the printing press (that created their whole industry funnily enough) the journos now think they are the information gatekeepers and try to cling on to that veneer of authority.
Who knew more information to the consumer was such a terrible idea...

@thebritishertwi Everyday, I become more comfortable with throwing politicians and activists off a cliff.
The village idiots have shown themselves to be dangerous.

@RoyCalbeck @Creetosis22 It's the pure denial of human agency, same with Clancy.
Bad things just happen to people, they can't ever be the moving force in a situation, it's beyond bizarre that people think this way.

Hey folks,

I'm launching a website today: https://t.co/JolbgwKsO7

It started as a little database I built for myself. I use Metacritic and OpenCritic a lot and they're clearly useful, but to me as a designer the user experience always felt a bit lacking.

Then the thing kept growing, and at some point I realized it had become genuinely useful for any gamer, not just me. So here it is, for everyone.

My main problem with the existing aggregators: Their scores tell you how the press felt about a game, not how players did.

That made sense 20 years ago. I cared a lot what GameSpot gave a game back then. But today we can actually measure how players felt, and to me that will always matter more than how the press did. On https://t.co/JolbgwKsO7, players hold at least two-thirds of every score, by rule. Press still counts, it just can't outvote the people who bought the game.

The other big problem: Those sites rate a game once, at launch, and then never really touch it again.

But that's not how games work anymore. A game can launch rough and get patched shortly after, but on Metacritic and OpenCritic it carries that scarlet letter forever.

No Man's Sky is the obvious example: Famously rocky launch, and Hello Games has spent the years since relentlessly improving it. Its Metacritic score has never moved. On https://t.co/JolbgwKsO7 it launched at 50 and sits at 82 today, because scores here are LIVE: launch-era reviews fade out over time, and reviews written after a significant patch count the most. When player sentiment changes, the number changes. Simple.

And since press does still count, I ended up reviewing the reviewers too. Every outlet and creator gets a trust score based on one question: When they reviewed a game, did players end up agreeing? You can see who consistently calls games the way players see them, and who doesn't. Again, simple and fair.

And everything is transparent. Every game page shows exactly how its score was computed, and the full methodology is public. No editorial opinion, no magic number.

Anyway, I hope you get a kick out of it! Even just as a way to see the best games on each platform, find something you missed, or browse a site that isn't wallpapered in ads, I think it's already pretty useful.

Enjoy!👍❤️

@ShawnGoldbergED @colwight "Evidence-led leadership" Profile consists of venemous spitting of epithets, to make you seem virtuous.
Perhaps if university leadership had been evidence led, they wouldn't have placed a fantasist on such a pedestal that any fall would have been injurious.

@futurasaudade @ThomBrady5 As opposed to "there's always a bigger fish" the lefty luvvy circles run on "there's always a less well-off pampered princeling"

@TheDezembro @pcgamer Wolfenstein, early CoD, Sniper Elite, Zombie Army.
With Rebellion games you can watch testicles explode, bones shatter and brains squelch, so none of this is sounding novel but as ever game journo is going to show their gaming illiteracy with some larp of living under fascism.

@amaldorai @NielsHoven The number of YouTubers I hear mispronounce words like epitome (epi-tome instead of epi-to-me) does set off my hackles, but it's much more preferable to people who'll never be able to pick up a book and learn new/fancy words, like I did as a working class lad.

@OnceYouCAL @PoliceIncident So we'll just gloss over the two people she had already stabbed?
Am sure the "she was mentally ill" mantra will be great comfort to the family of the woman who is now dead...

@thingsshldwrk @NielsHoven Well it certainly explains a lot about the aversion to looking at the past and the desire to supplant language from even 20 years ago with neologisms and modern slang, we now have adults who are incapable of learning older or less used language.

@Xenos_RIFS @NilesSankey Criticism from the outside is not the same as internal censure and meddling, bit like that "institutional power" the Left keeps whinging about.
If something is rotten you may have to accept some bad before it gets better, you wouldn't leave it to become gangrenous.

@ThatNukemGuy @DreyfusJames The movement has been pushing the idea that words are violence, which justifies violence in response to speech, this is wrong and you continue to espouse that yourself.
This dude seems like a tosser but the response is to talk back to them, mock why he wants to film cottaging etc
