  • I’m gonna start by saying Twitter doesn’t respect your privacy, this we all should know. However, I don’t think this is what you think.

    You’re reading an RSS feed that Linux Handbook publishes to. They published something and likely published it elsewhere at the same (or similar) times. It shows up in your feed, and you’re reading it. At the same time, their post on Twitter has propagated to the point where followers are being notified and the algorithm is sending notifications to people that might be interested in it. You get a notification from Twitter. Panik

    It’s just a coincidence, and being skeptical has rotted your brain. Sometimes shit do just be like that. Everyone in privacy oriented communities has had this happen at some point, and because of how we think we end up feeling like it’s malicious.





  • Right. Many are hitting with the “it should have been handled in private” line, and it’s kind of annoying. Journalists report on things, and GN did just that. Reported on an issue that has been gaining in public discussion over time. This deserved transparency, and I hope that having it put out there will help LMG/LTT fix their shit. I’m sure I can speak for most of us in saying that we WANT LMG/LTT to SUCCEED. We want to see them produce quality content. But they can’t do that with accurate information right now, despite their public desire to provide that.


  • LTT: says they want more accuracy, so they build a whole fucking lab for it.

    Also LTT: puts bad data into the video anyway because time

    That’s literally enough said. It’s not an attack on LMG, it’s pointing out legitimate concerns about LMGs internal processes because these easy to catch errors are getting through all the time.

    They test a water block prototype on a card it wasn’t designed for, and then review it as a finished product with the bad data.

    It’s a pattern over a long period of time that has been called out by the community. GN is fully right to be putting this out there. Even if you disagree with Steve’s assessment, he’s right to be pointing out things he has concerns with.



  • His existence is justified by the fact that he was included in the game. Sorry you don’t like the character, you’re free to just leave him at the camp or murder him at the start of the game.

    You described two extremes as examples of parties he wouldn’t fit into, but conveniently left out neutral groups. God forbid if we have nuance and humanity in our playthroughs by being more complicated than the hero or villain archetype. I have him in my party because he’s a rogue, and his ability to assassinate people and pick locks helps me focus on not doing those things.

    It just seems so harsh to distill his character down to “creepy rapist”, especially without even scratching the surface on his backstory.

    I would imagine a vampire would sneakily attempt to drink my blood at night. That’s kinda their whole thing. How that equates to being a rapist is beyond me.
