  • I don’t think he’s wrong about the busy release year and I would even agree that most people didn’t expect Baldur’s Gate to be as massive as it was. I think everybody knew it’d be big, but it pulled in a significant amount of people that likely never imagined playing D&D. There are probably people who have had sex playing it. I don’t know what the numbers are, but from the amount of people that played it in early access I’d imagine way more actually bought the full game after hearing the good praise it got. I also think he should acknowledge that Immortals shouldn’t have been a near full price ($59.99 USD) game; that’s honestly my only issue with the game. It’s got good gameplay, a fun over-the-top story and it’s a new IP that doesn’t have scummy monetization practices. It’s a perfect buy on sale game that will surprise more people than not.


  • I will also say, when I worked at a highschool a few years ago (I’m now middle school) a male teacher did pipe up about a student whose skirt was so short that he could see their underwear and buttocks and the parents called him a pedophile for trying to, “Look at their daughter,” however, he only complained because he was uncomfortable. A pedophile probably wouldn’t have said anything. Like I said, I don’t think there is going to be any one size solution. It’s pretty annoying. I do agree, school staff should be held to a high standard, but just in general. Teaching is a profession and we should present ourselves as professionals. I’m sorry if your experience with schools made you feel like teachers don’t care about students as real people. In my experience, being on staff at the district I went to, all the teachers I work with spent years in school learning how to help because they genuinely care for the kids.


  • I currently work in a school, and it can be very awkward walking up steps when students have incredibly short shorts, skirts, dresses, ect. The amount of underage skin (glutes, a little too much cleavage, and male nipples with loose tank tops) genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable and it’s not like I’m trying to see anything. There is no one solution to make everybody happy, and I don’t think uniforms are great or terrible, but I think it would always be better to air on the side of caution and establish standards/ dress codes. Almost every profession has standards and dress codes too, so I don’t see what’s wrong with trying to get students in the habit, at least in highschool when they start getting into the work field. Idk, disagree with me if you want, but I think this is reasonable.
