| scarletspeed7 05/10/19 9:29:42 PM #33 | Bane_Of_Despair posted... strangely enough I believe the people at the top of the big AAA game company will also be fine! Yeah, this wasn't what I was saying at all. Sorry if my poor articulation confused you! What I meant is that I'd like to think that a business cares about its employees until proven otherwise, because otherwise I have to live in a world where I can't palette yet another developer that previously gave me so much joy because of bad business practices. Bioware, Bethesda, Gearbox have all pretty much proven that I shouldn't be supplying them my money, and I'd like to think that maybe there's an out here. I know this seems stupid to a lot of people, but, again, I wasn't pushing an agenda. If you read my post, I'm honestly just trying to be conversant and mull the options, not take a position. Like I said, it sounds like it could be an unhealthy environment, but the nature of games journalism oftentimes doesn't get all of the necessary details, and I was just pointing out one that I think didn't get addressed. If I knew one way or the other, I would definitely have a firmer opinion. Not like my opinion matters to other people, but I enjoy conversation about video gaming. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

I mean the fact that you feel the need to protect the big AAA game company is funny but I'm sure they'll be fine I don't care about the company so much as the people at the top. I'd like to give people the benefit of the doubt in some video game company somewhere until proved otherwise because the alternative is to just hate video gaming as an industry all the time. I'd like to imagine that ethical behavior exists somewhere. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful |

| scarletspeed7 05/10/19 9:17:18 PM #26 | Bane_Of_Despair posted... yea charon and scarlet I feel like you guys misinterpreted the article, the guy wasn't saying "Screw NetherRealm they made me do all of this for fatalities and I tried to stop and they wouldn't let me!" Like literally in the article I think that the after-effect, regardless of intent, is the same. It creates an air of wrongdoing. Even if there isn't alleged wrongdoing by the former employee, it still creates the potential for current online culture to latch onto another corporate "malfeasance" and drag it down. That's been the story all year this year in the game industry and with gaming journalism. I'm not saying they SHOULDN'T do this; I just am worried that they didn't take this to Nether first and give them an opportunity to address it in-house. Instead, it's airing potential dirty laundry. TomNook posted... Also from the article: I think my above response also addresses this more. And I'm not blaming the employee for saying it, but I'm more worried about the results of it. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful |

| scarletspeed7 05/10/19 9:08:15 PM #20 | Charon has a point. The final product of MK fatalities is utterly unrealistic. Now if the research that goes into those completely fantastical productions is overly gross and gratuitous, I think it should really be incumbent on the people applying for those jobs to be informed of that ahead of time. We also don't know if the studio was mandating people watch this material for information. I think the nature of anonymity in this situation is that it's being used to snipe at Nether for whatever reason - it could be completely above-board, trying to point out a potential health and well-being issue at the studio. It could also be a way of petty retribution. The motive here matters because the entire situation has a lot of variables involved in it. This really ranges from "X can't hack it!" to "X was misled in interviews about the nature of the job and mandated to do things that aren't physically or emotionally healthy for someone." Again, it's tough when things are cloaked in anonymity. From the surface, I think that would be a pretty unhealthy work environment, and if the person who reported this had tried at Nether to address the other workers about it or their bosses and found no recourse, then I understand the point of putting this out there publicly. But this seems like the wrong way to address things because all it will lead to is a public Twitter-style outrage when a more constructive or positive course of action could actually help other developers. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

| scarletspeed7 05/09/19 11:36:29 AM #211 | foolm0r0n posted... HeroDelTiempo17 posted...She rolls with the sacrifices once they come but most of them are consequences of her refusal to compromise. I think a slightly different way to read it is that she has always had a battle in her mind - her children vs. power. Power has played a crucial role in warping her - she was in an abusive relationship with Robert and that defined the sort of control she sought. Power was a way to achieve self-preservation. And since she most valued her children, it was also a way to preserve them. But her understanding of mothering has always been both for and at the expense of children. You could argue this was based on her own breeding, but it's a moot point. She believes that poisoning herself and her child is a sign of love when Stannis comes to town. She has always believed in throwing the baby out with the bathwater. In some ways, you could argue that she is the absolute worst at playing the game. She has the most capital to expend in winning, and she still sits in a position to lose right now. Everyone else has had to work from positions of disadvantage against her. So the fact that she consistently makes decisions that lead to her childrens' deaths might actually be emblematic of this poor understanding. She loved Tommen. She enabled his suicide. Does she really understand and take ownership of that internally? It's hard to say. But killing everyone in the Sept is certainly not the sign of a deft hand in the world of political intrigue. It's the sign of a child lashing out with their biggest weapon. I think you're point about what Tyrion hit on is interesting in that we still don't actually know that she's pregnant. She's been in a defensive posture all season; hell, she's almost always been in a defensive posture. She wouldn't have slept with Euron otherwise. She still is that abused wife of Robert and that cowed daughter of Tywin, in the end. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful |

I was definitely trying to preserve the identity of Callis-Impact. If Callis could pull WWE guys, his first pick would be a Canadian superstar with great mic skills and good brawling. I was also drafting to a card whereas other people were drafting for value and didn't necessarily have a card set up. So I wasn't playing for the value so much as playing for the promotion. Like my first six picks were my first three matches. Straight up. Amazingly, I fucked Ed pretty hard with those picks! --- "It is too easy being monsters.
