Can I just enjoy a fuckin game without being browbeat on DEI garbage?

The article is about sloppy journalism, not what you, personally, are allowed to enjoy, you illiterate fuckhead.

I kinda find PC Gamer to be irrelevant. Same as IGN and Kotaku.

Extremely hot take: I rather read through the uninformed shitty ai generated gamerant articles.

Eh, I kinda like IGN and occasionally PC Gamer. Yeah, they have some stupid takes, but in general I find something of value in most of their articles.

Ai generates texts with accordance to material it learned from. So it will be PC gamer, IGN and Kotaku combined.

Considering that the term “computer engineering” was created by a woman, programming is based on maths solved by a woman, and the push for graphics in adventure games was started by a woman, I don’t think PC Gamers list is worth even checking, as I know that many notable leaps in gaming I don’t know about have since been pushed by women.

Not OP but I believe he’s talking about Margaret Hamilton. She also wrote the descent module for the Apollo lander.

How do you make a gaming recap without mentioning Amy Hennig, she invented modern videogames
