  1. I tried it. I didn't go past the ship flying tutorial. It's sooo bad, The opening sequence is pitiful. Say what you want about fallout 4, but the beginning with the bombs falling was kinda epic. This is so generic. Your generic character have to do a generic task, a generic strange thing happen, another generic character comes by, say some generic stuff, a generic space pirate faction appears and a generic fight ensues. Then everyone is impressed because you shoot to pirates (like everyone else) and they make you captain and git you a ship. So cool. The combat system is bad. Enemies are bullet sponges who don't even flinch when shot at. The space combat is a joke. Seems like a demo.
  2. Why? You take the fact that I don't obsess over the morality of someone that I don't know and is much a fictional character as a real human being to me, and from that deduce that I'm not a nice person. It's not healthy to get as mentally involved as to something that regards a friend or a family member or a neighbor to something that you see on a screen. It's not productive either, because you can't do anything and you don't really have a picture of it.
  3. This is not about hypocrisy. Maybe I'm saint. It's still not my place to judge - or care - about people living thousands of kilometers from me who my only association is to consume something they produced.
  4. I don't care. If i read a good book, I don't care if the writer is the nicest person in the world or a thief and a murderer. If it's a good book, it's a good book. Actually I don't really care who the writer is, nor I do want to know. I don't really care about the ethicality of the book writing process. Even if the writer forces his wife to type the book for him and then beat her every time she makes a mistake, I still don't care. I'm just reading a book, I'm not a policeman or a judge working in the area where the writer lives. "Ah, yes, this book is really good. BUT WAS THE WRITER A GOOD PERSON?" Doesn't make any sense. It's some kind of perverted moralistic voyeurism that seems to be oddly common in anglo-saxon society. Since I'm Italian, I don't care.
  5. That doesn't have anything to do with what I'm saying. There are theoretical contexts where having one employee saying "how you like to fuck" to another is not on your list. Theoretical. Like they were both acting a script. I don't know. Theoretical. Like they were in a relationship. That's why I used "alleged" It's alleged until proven. Because it's. It's not my point how what she says it's alleged. It's just a fact. My point is this mix these serious accusations (two) with a lot of normal workplace stuff that is not criminal and not even that bad and this feels manipulative.
  6. So there's no context that determines how one should decide what is inappropriate? Like you tell me I look good today. There's a sexual content to that and if I find it unwelcome you go to jail? What if I tell you that you are welcomed to say something, you say it but it's secretly unwelcome to me? Jail time? Context matters, sorry.
  7. Yeah or they could simply: 1) shut up about it 2) activate their lawyer 3) wait for 72 hours for the holy fire of internet outrage to fade out 4) continue their life as ever
  8. Is it? Full stop? What if she asked the same thing to the same person before? Would still be sexual harassment then? Context matters always. Even a person sticking a knife in someone's hearth could not be homicide depending on context. Sorry but you have to learn how to doubt.
  9. That's a straight example of my point. She alleges that at some point she was asked "How she liked to fuck" which, out of context, could be an allegation of sexual harassment. Next to it she put the fact that Linus was mad to a random woman on twitter, possibly thousands of kilometers away and raged not event talking to Madison. Like, so what?
  10. I'm not suggesting that I'm entitled to see such evidence. I'm suggesting that I'm entitled to doubt until I see such evidence.
  11. Yeah. It looks like that, because the two things are written next each other like are related. But pay attention. Re-read it. It doesn't state that they are related. For what we know the criticism could have preceded her complaints. To me this sounds like manipulative storytelling. Things are put together like they are related. Because if they are, yeah, that's really bad. Just it's not stated that they are related. It's not explained how they are related. They are just there, next to each other.
  12. No one is attacking anyone. Yes, when someone makes serious accusations without a scrap of evidence, normal people have doubts.
  13. Again, are you sure about what she says? She says that the senior management strongly criticized her work and abilities. Is that verbal abuse? We are provided no context. The whole thread is phrased like she was verbally abused but we have no real example of abuse. Saying "your last video was shit" maybe impolite but is not abuse. Also it's not clear who did this alleged "sexual harrasment". You conflate both the verbal abuse and the let's call it inappropriate behavior to be from the same people. But it's not clear. Everything is so vague, so undetermined, completely out of context. Things that are perfectly legitimate behavior described in the detail - like not putting a mirror in an office per employee request, like wtf? - are mixed with vague descriptions of what could be serious crimes. Like they are related. Except it's not stated that there's a relation. I'm sorry, but I read this and I feel like I'm being manipulated into outrage and it doesn't feel right.
  14. I don't like to be touched. I find it disrespectful. If someone touches me I feel grabbed inappropriately. Once I was in a bar and a guy put a hand on my arm while talking to me. I said to him that I didn't like to be touched and he kept doing it. Did he inappropriately grab me? Was he a jerk? Yes. But it wasn't sexual assault.
  15. Also a lot of the things she says shows poor judgment from her. She tells that she was tasked to manage the onlyfans account and she said she didn't want to and they told her to wait a little bit longer. She tells it like she's a victim here and they were evil for asking her to "wait a little bit longer". The hell? She was the social media manager. If I were Linus i would have told her that if she wasn't able to to her job, he would have find a new social media manager that could. Do you think social media management companies reject porn-related accounts because they employee don't like it? Do you think that a web developer that works in a company that landed a contract with a porn site can say "sorry I don't like it make someone else do it"? It's a job, you either do what you are asked to do or leave.
  16. I re-read her whole twitter thread the third time and I would like to point out again that 90% of what she says is meaningless "I didn't like the job" stuff that shouldn't have any public interest and 10% are the most generic sexual harassment allegations ever, without no proof or context provided. I ask again, what is "inappropriate grabbing"? If someone grab me by the shoulder and pull to have my attention, is definitely inappropriate, but it's not the same thing as grabbing my ass.
  17. updates, she now complains about: - linus being mad about some woman on twitter that has nothing to do with her - they being late installing new RAM on her computer - not buying her a notebook
  18. So one should not doubt allegations without evidence not to endanger the mental health of the accuser? The hell?
  19. Yep that's what I'm screaming on this thread for hours.
  20. Again, a lot of "oddly no one listened when I told them what to do" mixed with the vaguest possible sexual harassment allegation. Also, discussions about employees look and appearance in a media company where employee would appear on video? Oh gawd!
  21. Yes I read the whole thread. There are two groups of "problems". A: work was to much, management was not nice, they didn't listen to my criticism, I didn't like it in there etc. B: I was "inappropriately grabbed", someone asked me sexual questions and I've been asked to twerk for a collegue A are not crimes, B are vague allegations.
  22. Yes, becase I don't know about which tone to apply. I'm aware that sexual harassment can happen in the workplace or any other place. But it's a strange vague way of suggest that it happened
  23. Probably because it's not. Mostly she complains about the work being "too much" and the management not liking her. Nothing about that is illegal. There's a reference about "inappropriate grabbing" and "talking about sex" that we read as workplace sex abuse. But in reality she doesn't explain what she means. Someone can grab me from my arm to get my attention, and that would be inappropriate but won't be a crime.
