Quoting: Seegras

Quoting: tuubiI don't think fraud attempts, hate mongering and racism need a legitimate platform, and neither does extremism of any sort.

Your extremism is somebody elses mainstream. And "not giving extremism a platform" is thus nothing else but an extremist position in itself.

Extremism isn't the same as having an unpopular opinion and it should never be allowed to be mainstream. You can be a staunch supporter of anarchist ideology for example. That's perfectly fine, regardless of how you feel about their opinions, and they should be allowed to argue their stance. Or you can be an extremist advocating violent protests or let's say terror attacks on state infrastructure. The latter does not deserve a platform nor should it be tolerated.

Quoting: Stupendous ManBig publishers buying small studios is never a good thing for the customer. Do we really want a few large publishers only and not small independent studios with creative freedom?

Yet this is the way indies usually grow into AAA studios. I'm not a fan of big companies in general, but this isn't as simple as you might think. It's entirely up to the publisher if they give developers free rein or play it safe. Usually things go to shit when the bureaucracy grows big enough that the ones making decisions have no interest in the end product beyond how much money it brings in.

Quoting: rat2000Also, I use steam since 2007 I think, and I have gathered a lot of game since then, I would love an option to delete a game if I don't want it anymore(not hide it, delete it).

Contact steam support, they can delete games for you.

You don't even have to contact anybody. You can do it in the steam client directly by navigating to Steam Support -> Games, Software etc., then finding the game you want to get rid of and clicking "I want to permanently remove this game from my account". I've done that a couple of times and it works fine.

EDIT: I was slow.

Quoting: BeamboomSpeculative junk. Porn, shovelware, fraud attempts, hate mongering, racism, extremists political and religious agendas, and so forth.

And please note, This is content that I do not say should be BANNED - they just do not belong on the main street.

Well, some of the stuff you just mentioned is deservedly illegal in most of the civilized world, so it really should be banned. I don't think fraud attempts, hate mongering and racism need a legitimate platform, and neither does extremism of any sort. Porn (with consenting adults) and shovelware are less of a problem IMHO.

Saturday June 9th:

2v2 - 6PM UTC (EU)

The 1v1 was fine, but you actually seem to have set this one for 5PM UTC unless I'm mistaken. That's a proper shame as it means I'll have to skip my weekly sauna to play. :(

Any way you could reschedule it, or is it too late?

Woops, I've re-done that one to the correct time :)

Thanks! :)

But you have two times within your region to pick between. Are both bad times?

The other one is midnight my time so yeah, sadly a bit late for me. Otherwise I'd do both. It's not a big deal though.

I was just asking in case it was a mistake that Liam might be able to fix. Otherwise he'll have people reading this article and missing the tournament by an hour again.

Quoting: Alm888As we know, "Humble IGN" [...] with its overblown prices.

Humble simply doesn't do regional pricing, which naturally means they'll be more expensive for some. For me and many others their prices are about the same as on Steam. That said, most of my Humble library came from bundles.

This is your chance to show off your mad skills, have a bit of fun and hopefully not lose too badly.

Haha! Skills and not losing are a bit too much to ask, but I'll at least have fun. Can only do the 6PM UTC events though, and the 2v2 only if I can rope in some sucker a friend to lose play with me.

In any case, thanks for doing more of these!

If you want the failure to be truly epic, I could assist you. :D

I'm all about the epic fails. I'll be properly tired and relaxed after my sauna on Saturday evening so I promise to bring my best B game. :D

Friend invite sent on Steam.
