Out of all the articles to consider yourself funny because you can post "tl;dr" this is not one of them. Some of us like reading longer articles, if you don't, shut the fuck up. Read more

Loved the article. Some think it's too long, some think there is too much "fluff" (i.e. they were too lazy to read the whole thing), but I found it to be a very well written and personal story. Lost Levels sounds like a fun gathering, I'll definitely have to check that out if I have the money to fly down next year.… Read more

This is awesome, and it will continue to be awesome if they stick to it. Read more

Well, I'm extremely biased, since my company Lone Shark Games is in Penny Arcade's office, and I did a game design panel with Mike Krahulik. Still, I really thought the space was great, and every time I was there people seemed to be having a good and respectful time. YMMV. Read more

There were official "Roll for Diversity" lanyards and panel schedules (panels were separate from the lounge itself) for those who wanted them, but it's like I always say: if you want to hide your deepest, darkest secrets where nobody will ever find them, put them on a convention lanyard. Read more

I think this is a good step for PAX, but personally I like the way Yaoicon handles things. Teach everybody respect for everybody, right up front, and let people know that douchenozzley shenanigans will not be tolerated. Have panels that are diverse and attract everybody, all promoted equally. Acknowledge and accept… Read more

Why is there a "Diversity" Lounge in the first place? Shouldn't they just be invited to be there with everyone else? Ya know, like real life? Seems like it's a great idea from the guys at PAX, and a step in the right direction, but ends up being some weird disservice to those who identify as "diverse." Read more

Oh hey I was one of the the four people playtesting thornwatch, my friend was the "guard" pictures above. We had a blast, and I thought he handle it really well. It didn't seem like making amends or groveling, but acknowledging that the area didn't get a lot of traffic, and advertising without making a big deal. It… Read more

I hope that I'm interpreting the article correctly, but if so then I'm really glad to hear that the lounge was generally successful and attendees and visitors enjoyed it. Although the article title and tone suggests that it was lacking, quoted interviewees seemed generally positive, which was great to read. I hope… Read more

All of the comments below this article are fucking despicable and highlight the very need for a safe space. I fucking hate gamer culture if these comments represent it in any capacity. Read more

Can any other convention really claim anything like this? I know GDC usually has some talks about diversity, but I can't recall seeing anything like this at another convention. It's an interesting addition, I'm curious to see how it works out given the inherent realities of the gaming community. Read more
