I'm a creative and a designer myself. My philosophy is that at the end of the day the products should be judged by its result. It's unfortunate because consumers often do not truly appreciate the amount of blood and trouble that goes into works when creatives feel they deserve a break sometimes. Again, at the end of the day, providing explanations why the game is shit is not going to make the game less shit.

What I don't get about all the criticism lobbied at The Game Awards is that other gaming award shows do exist, and have existed, but people don't fucking watch them and then they criticize TGA for doing what other awards shows didn't: get millions to actually watch it.

It's a PWA, which basically means it's just a website. If you're using Firefox on mobile opening up the website won't ask you to install it.

As far as I'm aware Trump has been the only pro-UK U.S. president in recent history. Both Biden and Obama have brushed off the UK.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I expected someone to bring up some shit like that. My point still stands.

I almost forgot about that period of VNN. I actually liked the sensationalism, even already knowing most of it was probably wrong, but it was still interesting to listen to especially if I'm not really paying attention, though I can see how that can easily impact his credibility and reputation.

Good luck expanding the fields of math and science without a PhD.

Yes I've had this argument with some Latino people. I guess they don't to be on the shitside of the stratification, but the racist whites hate them as well.

I hear this a lot and while I feel that's a contributing factor I find it difficult to believe that sexism is the only explanation for the overwhelming male dominance in tech, and both tech and science tend to lean liberal.

The fediverse heavily leans towards men, as does Reddit opposed to TikTok and Instagram where those social media apps lean towards women. From what I understand men outnumber women 10:1 on the fediverse.

We are still in it's infancy, the thing is even Reddit used to be this bad when it comes to that. I believe there's here's a certain point of critical mass that sites like these have to reach before you have a sustaining women population. But as the fediverse grows women focused communities are certain to grow albeit at a slower rate.

With that said keep expectations in check; while there's no reason women can't be as involved and active as men are it seems that sites focused on text-based forum discussions has a broader appeal towards males. Don't understand why that is but it just means that it will lean towards males, so the demographics will always be skewed.
