@normandy Hmm, did you follow the install instructions about configuration? Reading the log you posted, it looks like your Redis is acting up in some way. But @takeshitakenji coded the redis queue so he would have a better idea than I would. -

@normandy Salmon working (direct replies) but not subscriptions (feed pulling) suggests the queue handler is malfunctioning. -

@sklaing I'm actually unaware of her having some sort of issue with the trans community, do you mind my asking what the story is there? -

@kitredgrave @rw Its the whole tribalism thing. As long as people treat it as US versus THEM and one bad person in a social group means they're all TERRIBLE [shitlords/gamers/nazis/SJWs/etc] you're not going to break the cycle. There's a very authoritarian bent to the over-arching culture wars. "You must associate with who I say you should, or else." -

@purplehippo 50 bucks these days for an EARLY ACCESS indie game. I think a lot of people seem to forget the appeal of Early Access in its infancy, before Steam basically stole that idea, was games like KSP or Mount & Blade having the increasing price model where as they built up the game it got more expensive before finally reaching a predetermined final retail pric… -

@sklaing Yes. Officially she was "going there to focus on family" since she has relatives there, but who visits family amidst a political scandal when she had the leadership of one of the UKs most influential political parties to look forward to? The scandal looked terribly bad for her and she wanted to duck out of the public eye and avoid scrutiny. She spent m… -

@kitredgrave @rw Exactly! The cronies as you put it really are the ones that should be the target if you ask me. But GG wasn't really about that for very long if it was at all, it was mostly about going after the social group they perceived as "attacking" them over the "Quinnspiracy" stuff and while the way that they treated people was reprehensible (on both side… -

@rw @kitredgrave If we can't recognize individual bad actors have individual responsibility for their actions then you just turn it into a game whereby you have publications or websites or "labels" that take the fall for the actions of the bad actors. As much as I rail on mastodon as a whole based on my experiences with many people from it, for example, here I am ta… -

@rw @kitredgrave The issue of media corruption is an important topic but GamerGate never really was about that, in retrospect. It was "us versus them", and I abhor that brand of tribalism. -

@kitredgrave @rw I ended up somewheres in the middle really. At the start I thought it was a bunch of bullshit because Zoe Quinn was basically not noteworthy or notable and the larger issues of corruption have been around for a long time and aren't specific to the gaming media (the US election was a good example of how shit the media in general is IMO), but then I … -

A lot of the stuff I complain about not having money for comes down to not so much not having money I could spend on it, but rather, knowing that money should be spent on something else. For instance, it's hard to justify buying game titles for 100$ a pop when I could feed myself for probably like a month and a half on that, if not longer. -

I really do try to keep money for a rainy day, probably to a fault, and the latter is why I sometimes just look at myself and say, you know what, its okay to spend money on your own enjoyment, too.
I mean even the vidya is for "work", so not even that's divorced from it. -

@kitredgrave @rw The gamergate tag might have turned to trash but I met my now-wife through it so it wasn't all terrible. -

@sklaing @somercet @lambadalambda Yeah, when I deal with certain developers in my own journalism/criticism thing I *always* keep copies of emails (headers and all for the paranoid lot) because there is just SO MUCH misrepresentation going on when it comes to both media and developers in the gaming sphere, and it's really just symptomatic of how bad the modern mass media is. -
