    It's the right thing to do in my not-so humble option. Elon Musk owns "only" 20% of Tesla and I would never buy a car from them because of that. There are probably hundred thousands of workers involved with the company. Jason Hall probably still owns 50% of the company with only a handful of people involved. Why should I not boycott them?

    In my mind it's the severity of the action. Among other things, Elon Musk helped put a fascist in the White House, then withheld food aid killing children in the developing world while that food rotted in warehouses. We should fight back against Elon in whichever way we can, including boycotts. Thor has a controversial opinion about video games.

      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.

      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. 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!

        I'll say it that way sometimes, haha! I also have a tendency to shorten 'good night' and 'good morning' and even 'good to see you!' into just basically g' with a glottal stop, haha.

          Most of the folks I've heard making tutorials about it pronounce it "guhDOUGH." To get that FOSS cred the name has to be a dumpster fire.

            They got 6, count them SIX, negative reviews in one day. Such review bombing, indeed.

                So... I actually tinker around in Godot. Whilst looking around to see if anyone had, or was developing an extension I would find useful... I discovered 'Redot'. Basically, there is a small but very vocal group of people who are very, very angry that a Godot community manager made some pro LGBT, inclusive twitter posts, turned that into a culture war flare up on twitter... And then forked Godot. To make the anti-woke version of Godot. Their youtube channel has, as best I can tell, absolutely no descriptions of any substantial differences from... you know, an actual game engine feature set perspective. Beyond of course being behind Godot now, lol. What they do have is a bunch of rants about politics and edrama for their 'non-political' game engine. Also... they pronounce Redot as Re-Dot, hard t. Godot is Godot as in Waiting for Godot. Go - Dough. God - Oh. ... of course these idiots are literally uncultured and have never read the screenplay or seen the stage play, so they have no idea how to pronounce the word. smdh

                      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.

                          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 is judt 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.
