      I don't like pirate software like any other guy, but I want to put credit where credit is due.

      He wasn't ranting about Godot being woke last year. He was actually actively defending it from all the bigots. One of the very few YouTubers or streamers, I saw.

      You have probably mistaken him with Asmongold.
      He has long hair too, and he is right wing nutjob pos.

        Wait, did PirateSoftware rant about wokeness, or are you confusing him with fellow failed game dev Grummz?

          Okay, as much as I approve of mocking bigots, I didn't pronounce "Godot" properly for a few years because I had never heard the name spoken before. I'd only ever read it.

          Usually, if a word is used properly, but pronounced wrong, it's an indicator that the word was learned from reading, not from hearing. Typically, people receptive to learning will try to correct themselves when it's pointed out. I'm very self conscious of this because I'm awful at pronouncing words.

          But for folks like this, yeah, mock the hell out of them.

          Lol grew up reading a lot of books and such, so very similar and I am usually bad at assumed pronunciation, such as godot which I just learned thanks to this thread.

            Alright, so no review bombing going on then, as Twitter is full of dumbfucks anyway and can burn to the ground, and who the hell goes on Discord to review a game? It seems like it was about harassment, and not review bombing.

                    You do understand that on Steam if you have 50% or more negative reviews, it is a "Mostly Negative" and puts people off even trying. Bad reviews can have a serious effect on sales. 10 negative reviews in millions is nothing, 10 negative reviews alongside 10 positive is detrimental. It's all about the percentage and indie games work at a different scale.

                    I'm unsure what the point about working for Blizzard means. You'll have to elaborate.

                    On Steam you can report review bombing events to have the reviews struck from the list so...

                    And the working at blizzard line is mocking Thor for literally never shutting the fuck up about his nepobaby job.

                      Ubuntu.

                      Oo boon too?

                      Oo bun too?

                      Pretty sure the correct pronunciation is the first, but a lot of people say it as the second.

                      ... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.

                        There's an Arduino-based CNC controller firmware called GRBL. Gurble? Gerbil? Garble? GeeArrBeeElle? GuhRuhBuhLuh?

                          Pretty weird guy, honestly. Seems competent, but spends too much time complaining about other people instead of working on his own stuff.

                              I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too.

                              But it is oo-boon-too.

                                      What you're saying is true, that not knowing how to pronounce aloud a word you've only ever read is not some kind of 100% surefire sign you're a bigot or anything like that.

                                      It just means, as you say, that you've never heard it said aloud.

                                      But... that also means you never bothered to look up how it is pronounced (its on wikipedia, the actual Godot devs have videos of them saying it, etc)... and it does also mean you presumably are also unfamiliar with Waiting for Godot.

                                      So I would say you are also 'uncultured' in that way, but of course, simply being uncultured doesn't make one a bigot.

                                      You could just not have the time, money, etc, to have seen the play before.

                                      That by no means say anything else really concrete about you, or any other person, if that's like... the only single datapoint you know about them.

                                      In all seriousness, I do strongly recommend seeing the actual play, probably you could find a dramatic reading / radio drama version of it somewhere on the net, or even a full video captured performance of it on a forgotten youtube channel or the Internet Archive.

                                      I... don't know that its ever been adapted as a proper movie, perhaps a film snob can appear and call me uncultured, haja!

                                      not reading / watching a play by Beckett means you're uncultured

                                        Not that I'm aware of, but if you wanna start one, it might be a good idea to not fill it with fabricated quotes that remove all the surrounding context.

                                        Maybe you could go back to reddit, make a subreddit entirely devoted to shit stirring and drama there?

                                        Seems like a better fit to me.

                                          His defense of Godot and his stance on the attacks, seem very reasonable and correct: Clip 1, Clip 2. Nothing like what you remember, OP.

                                          Separating from Off Brand Games to protect them of the fallout of his opinions and public exposure also seems like a correct decision.
