Ye lads - absolutely brilliant game

Yeeeee boi!!!! Happy

Best. Metroidvania. EVER

Buzzing for thissss

@gcunit Yeppp, genuinely just waiting for a patch then this would be a day one

Brilliant! Absolutely no downside to this, 100% positive

@N64-ROX Good on them!

@Jeronan Do you not understand how cross play works? There is explicitly no longer a lack of people to team up with

@munstahunta maybe don’t come to the site then?

@Savino “in your opinion”

@nessisonett I’ll always support flash games that come over! N++ ride or die

Card game? Sign me up

Am I laughing at the people who believed the Pro was definitely coming? Yes. Will I continue to laugh at the people who think the Switch will die without it? Yes.

@Manjushri We don’t stan just accepting sexism tbh

Absolutely wonderful article! And bang on as always

Absolutely brilliant, whenever I see an old flash game pop up on the store I ALWAYS buy it. n++, Castle crashers, Celeste, BOI etc.

@Bobb The accepted standard of nonsense for single player stuff is always wayyyy bigger, I know Skyrim is a joke but ESO is miles less glitchy - as an example

@StardusterEX No that’s exactly the info I was after! Thank you mate!

Very confused at the expensive dlc for this?

This is a brilliant game

@UmbreonsPapa That idea of waiting is super important. The level of passivity forced upon minority groups is insane “just wait and we’ll change!”

@Slowdive Really hope it says open too!

@Mountain_Man The stats linked explicitly, obviously afford for all the things you mention.

That’s why it’s called the controlled wage gap. If you still want to ignore it, I don’t know what to tell you

@Heavyarms55 I think one of the little fallacies people make is assuming the minority group is the one who is less capable.

In the UK, affirmative action works on an interview basis - not hiring. So people implying these things will somehow lead to less qualified people doing jobs is obviously very alien to me!

@Zuljaras The answer to the question depends solely on WHY you think they didn’t do as good.

1) They felt uncomfortable in an IT environment, due to the discrimination against women in the past (my guess)

2) Women are inherently bad at IT

3) Women inherently don’t care about IT or don’t care about education to the extent men do

4) Various soft factors, being made to feel unwelcome etc

@Phostachio Bahahahha, right on man

@Mountain_Man Nope, that’s wrong.
https://www.payscale.com/data/gender-pay-

The controlled gender pay gap, which controls for job title, years of experience, education, industry, location and other compensable factors, measures equal pay for equal work. The controlled pay gap has also decreased since 2015, but only by $0.01. Women in the controlled group make $0.98 for every $1.00 a man makes, meaning that women are still making less than men even when doing the exact same job.

the controlled gender pay gap increased to as much as $0.78 for positions such as Waiters and Waitresses

I can link to articles too!

@Mountain_Man The data, does not show that. And now we’re done. Lying is not an acceptable way to argue

@Heavyarms55 Genuinely not having a go. But what if the reason they’re under skilled is intrinsically linked to their ethnicity?

Look at aboriginal people in Australia, who’ve only been permitted to attend university for a few generations or so. Imagine the impact that has had on accruing wealth etc.

Then move to the modern day, is it genuinely fair to judge them with the same eye, when one is affected by historical racism?

@sadmapboi I do appreciate the opportunity to yoink some arguments from people who are arguing the good side better than myself, every cloud!

@sadmapboi These comments tend to be worse than my actual experience with people in the wild, if that helps

@Mountain_Man If hiring policies have been completely fair for 40-50 years (I’m assuming that’s what you believe), and yet 999999% of executives are still male, you can believe two things:

Either there is structural discrimination

OR

Women are inherently genetically inferior because there’s nothing stopping them, but they still can’t reach the top

What is it?

@Diogmites Good comment, scary icon

@Mountain_Man Sexism and racism exist. Hirers are not exempt from sexism and racism. Things like this exist to ensure even sexist and racist hirers cannot close their companies to those they dislike.

That’s as simple as I can make it, any less and I’ll be using pictures

@Ryu_Niiyama Elegant, wonderful way to phrase that man. Completely agree

@piecez You’d think you wouldn’t have to explain this 😂

@NoTimeForBS ‘full-time equivalent mean pay”

Is that a leftist lie too? Yeah?

@Crockin I know mate! I know, it’s genuinely just my personal defect, I should just clamp myself and stay away - but it’s difficult when you see such flagrantly wrong things spouted

@piecez Oh NO. Think of the products ((((

(he says while double-glazing the glass ceiling)

@Mountain_Man I’m clearly work off the basis of your points, not mine. And it’s wonderful you ignored the rest.

@Yorumi That’s certainly a take.

@NoTimeForBS Women are still less than men, that’s a pretty big one for me.

@Mountain_Man This is genuinely the last I’ll say on this. Women being allowed into the workplace is more important than a 8/10 review turning into a 7/10, if you don’t accept that proposition, I don’t know what to tell you.

This is the important bit. If you accept we live in a sexist society (we do), you can’t then ALSO expect companies (who are made of people, who are sexist, as per society) to act completely fair.

This is what you people don’t get. We aren’t playing a fair game. Companies NEED things like this forced upon them, otherwise they can simply grade their own homework and ignore it.

@Mountain_Man Yes. That is more important than subjective quality. Also “unqualified” is a weird word to use seeing as we’re dealing with a group of people who are all game developers, unless you don’t believe in hiring interns either?

There is, objectively, no downside to this and people pretending there is makes me a little terrified.

@Mountain_Man Women’s rights supersede the quality of your video game, sorry mate

@tkdboy1889 So game quality is more important to you than woman’s rights?

@johnvboy Not wrong tbf

@SwitchForce I mean, that’s like 90% of games now
