Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Given the time frame, that would track. Intensely shitty mobile game made by a trans woman that couldn't stay off Twitter for five minutes if you put a gun to her head...yeah, you're probably right that sounds like the type that would be caught up in gamergate. I think it says something that most games at PAX either leave a positive impression or are forgettable. That one was so awful that ten years on I still remember getting to try it at that booth, and not for good reasons.
In case anyone was curious what game she was behind, I looked it up to verify I was thinking the right dev. It's called Revolution 60, and apparently there's a windows port of her iOS game available on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/350200/Revolution_60/
If I remember right, that was the same year that Actual Sunlight had a booth that was just a sign, a guy, and a single computer where you could demo the game. It stood out in the hall for how utterly sparse the booth was, and the game was amazing. It's a short (around an hour) RPG Maker title about a man with depression. It has one achievement, for completing the game. The description text for the achievement is "Thank you" and that really stabs at you if you see it from the voice of the main character. My favorite review for the game is a single sentence: "I came for an easy achievement, I left with emotional damage." Seriously, play this game, it's the other big one that stood out to me from the Indie section of the hall at PAX East 2014 and unlike Revolution 60, it was for good reasons.
