Dielan somehow slightly more believable is this HL3 "leak"

Dielan

Looks like Mercante finally sued SmashJT

In the opening statement she referenced Gamergate and unironically cited WIKIPEDIA as a source. You can't make this shit up

Not saying there isn't a case for this suit in particular but if I was a judge I'd stop reading right there. Embarassing

SkoomaDealer

I’m very confused by the statement. Even without the Wiki add on. There’s no statement in the statement. If this somehow goes to trial, she’s going to learn a lot about the side she’s “defending” and how they treat people who aren’t 100% spouting their exact rhetoric.

Dielan

SkoomaDealer Theres more pages I just didn't read them

Victim

Getting sick, but I'll be streaming the game awards most likely

SkoomaDealer

Wildly different tone, Among Us got name dropped by New York Post in this CEO assassination.

Dielan

SkoomaDealer 100% we will cover this

Dielan

Journos unhappily reaping what they sow:

SkoomaDealer

Dielan I want to say, I don’t fully blame game journos across the board for what’s happened. Yeah, they’re doing bad reporting, but I think it’s a symptom of the larger media changes. We need more, we need it now, and it need to be interesting has been wrecking many legacy media companies.

Dielan

I wonder if a switch 2 reveal will happen at the tgas

Here's another "leak" from a case manufacturer promo materials

Dielan

SkoomaDealer yeah I agree with this. This is why journos and bloggers treat youtubers and independent bloggers like they're subhuman. They refused change and got swept away by the tide

SkoomaDealer

Dielan

Yooo IGN doing layoffs again

Doing layoffs in December should be a hate crime

Dielan

Remember how I didn't read past the first page in Mercante's lawsuit? Well I heard something online I just had to verify for myself.

It would seem one of her legal arguments, is SmashJT would mention (she refers to his actions as harassment) her tweets where she praises and otherwise lusts after Hasan Piker and that got her in trouble at Kotaku for antisemitism.

So she actually was fired

SkoomaDealer

Oh man, just waits until she learns what harassment actually is.

Dielan

Given Limited Run Games' reputation I was starting to think this would never arrive

Dielan

Dielan oh shit it comes with manual printed in color WHAT YEAR IS IT

SkoomaDealer

Dielan The dichotomy of man with your blast from the past and then Veilguard bashing.

Dielan

Poor Niche Gamer fighting for their lives in the comments against the grummites

SkoomaDealer

Dielan what the hell is a Zau?

Dielan

SkoomaDealer its a game that flopped and worked with SBI

So ppl assume it's woke garbage, but what NG is saying here is they actually played it and it's not woke. Which is kinda funny watching people who didn't play it try to justify their stance with guilt-by-association arguments
