Man, tankies are something else.

Word-for-word quote about the USSR:

It was not actually, it was a progressive and comparatively free society lead by socialist (until the end, when it was coup'd by rightist forces).

ALL HAIL PUTNAM, THE THIRD DEITY OF THE TWEFTH BAY!

We should have some standards. "Porn go on the back shelves" has always been an agreeable one to me.

We don't apply that standard to literature even a little, heh. Smut (usually somewhat disguised, but occasionally just... not) is one of the best selling sorts of books and they're often by the checkout aisle or whatever in major stores, displayed prominently in libraries, hit bestseller lists, etc. If we applied our general standards on the subject to games, those rather innocent seeming ones would be right at home

... of course, by those standards, Rance level stuff would probably be fine, too. Fifty Shades was a wildly popular book for a while and it was roughly as bad as Rance, if in somewhat different ways. Gaming's arguably held itself to a higher standard than we expect from several other sorts of media, which is probably why it was a wtf to see GOG displaying what it was.

anyway, yeah, congrats putnam. Now we have someone to blame for DF issues that isn't a site admin i joke, i joke... mostly :V

I'm an independent contractor who is neither a member of bay 12 nor employed by kitfox, to be clear

[Rolan7]

Behold Humility, one of Putnam's virtues!

Silliness aside I'm sharing in the excitement. Congratulations Putnam, and congrats to DF

He IS the Messiah!

[hector13]

He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.

[Magmacube_tr]

He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.

We must crucify him!

I volunteer!

I mean, the stuff in Fifty Shades was completely consentual BDSM (albeit with a bit skewed power dynamics) stuff, its wildly less problematic then straight up the good guy being an unrepentant rapist.

But that isn't the real bad part about Steam having porn on it.

Seriously steam, WTF, why do you insist on broadcasting it to all their friends whenever people play porn games.

[JoshuaFH]

Yeah Steam, wtf, you should also be casting it straight to the tv's of my friends and family automatically! Don't forget my bosses and colleagues as well! If you can somehow figure out how to turn on my webcam, obviously that should be on as well!

[pisskop]

I dont know, if I can read Playboy for the articles I should be allowed to stream Rance for the strategy

[Frumple]

Sure, but it'd probably be a bit weird to be doing either at the front door of walmart or somethin'

There's totally places you can stream Rance, though. Forget exactly what they are, but there's streaming sites that are okay with adult content so long as it's labeled appropriately and whatnot.

There... there is a strategy?

Also WTF is this series.

[Eric Blank]

It's a horror series about raping people. You're the monster.*

So, at work today, we apparently had a resident just walk out. Like, pack their bags, say they're done, and get on the bus.
