I never claimed that her, her music, or her fans were treated the same. I absolutely agree that they are not. I had no ill will towards her in any way shape or form before recent news about her private jet usage and her rising to billionaire status. I’m a woman and I defended my cis straight friends who enjoyed her music against the ridicule they saw from other cis straight men in our group. Even if I wasn’t personally a fan of her genre of music.

Yes I’m sure there are people who only call her out because she is a woman or popular with young girls. I think most right wing people (who this meme seems to be about) are more calling her out due to her more left wing views. However I still believe she should be called out. Even if people I disagree with are also calling her out.

I don’t really think I took it personally. I was simply attempting to respond to a meme that seemed to be defending her, and I had something to say. Nothing in what I said had to do with her music or fans or the state of the music industry for women. It was simply about billionaires being a bs class that shouldn’t exist.

I dislike, criticize, and will continue to criticize all billionaires. Including Taylor Swift. Yes she happens to be much more relevant at the moment. That does not mean people rightly calling her out are just hating because she’s a woman and popular with teenage girls

Pajama Sam: There’s no need to hide when it’s dark outside

This article doesn’t interpret the Berlin interpretation correctly. The things the article says are “must haves” are actually just “high value factors” as the post says.

This list can be used to determine how roguelike a game is. Missing some points does not mean the game is not a roguelike. Likewise, possessing some points does not mean the game is a roguelike.

So while some of these are deemed important to roguelike, it can be a roguelike without all of those things.

Now personally I think the debate over the genre is silly, and I don’t think the Berlin interpretation is really accurate anymore. But to be fair to it, it does not say a game has to have everything on that list. Spelunky is a roguelike. Idc what anyone says. Just because it isn’t turn/grid based doesn’t mean it isn’t a roguelike. It has most all the other high value factors, and a handful of the low value factors as well.

Fair enough, but also team liquid has seemingly been around wayyyy longer than any of the city based teams. Of course there isn’t as much passion and history. They’ve barely been given a chance. I mean I’m not that invested in esports in general, and I’m totally willing to believe city based teams aren’t the way. But it’s something I was more familiar with and got me, someone with 0 interest in reports to care a little when I saw my city had a team. Also, not a man btw

Maybe I’m wrong. And it does seem like the manager is probably passionate about it. But please correct me if I’m wrong since I don’t know much about team liquid. I read the ownership section here and it just screams corporate to me.

I understand your point but I don’t think city based teams have to be a toxic thing. Fandom for any team can be taken to the extreme, and I feel city based teams give fun ways to entice more people to care and have fun with it. Also, I mean pretty much every sport entity is corporate. Can’t think of any esport team that isn’t extremely corporate, city based or not.

Sad about this. I know it’s fun to hate on overwatch, but the idea of an esports league being city based was really novel at the time. Ive always enjoyed overwatch, and despite overwatch 2s monetization being absolutely atrocious, the gameplay changes I have enjoyed for the most part

I’m… very cautiously optimistic for the sh2 remake. I really do not like bloober teams portfolio (and I’ve played most of it). However, I feel like since it’s not their own original thing, and it’s being supervised by some members of team silent, it could be good…

If it’s not good I won’t be too upset as the PC enhanced edition is so damn good. But I’ve got my eye on it.

Overall though, yeah townfall and f are more exciting to me

Nope, brand new game
