Baldwin was born in Winnetka, Illinois and studied at New Trier Township High School East in Winnetka.[4] He has three children with his wife, Ami.[5] He has no relation to the Baldwin brothers.
Politically, he has been a registered Democrat since 1980,[6] but states that he re-examined his views after being given a copy of David Horowitz's book Radical Son.[7] He now considers himself a "small government conservative libertarian",[8] and has contributed to The Huffington Post[9] and Big Hollywood.[10]

Twitter death threats have consequences! http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/20/7024585/gabe-newell-death-threat-paranautical-activity-steam-valve (Not actually GG related)

"This being a project I spent years of my life on, I was very frustrated by this mistake [Valve] made, so I tweeted a series of tweets calling them incompetent that eventually ended in me saying 'I swear I'm gonna fucking kill gabe' or something," Maulbeck said in an email to Polygon. "A statement I obviously didn't mean, but nonetheless was totally unacceptable and driven entirely by the heat of frustration I was feeling at the time."
Maulbeck let loose a series of vitriolic tweets, calling Valve "incompetent" and expressing anger at Steam's "awful fucking monopoly." Maulbeck then allegedly said in a since-deleted tweet, "I am going to kill gabe newell [sic]. He is going to die."
lol this impotent rage is extremely good stuff

Speaking of white supremacists/Lost Causes, the Calavier/Roundhead charge got tossed around a bunch during the American Civil War by Confederate politicos, who tried to connect their war as the continuation as the fight against Norman invaders.

Paranautical Activity is available through other digital distribution means, like Desura and the Humble Store, but Maulbeck lamented that the game sold 12 copies on non-Steam platforms today.

their absolute inability to read Sam Biddle's bullying comments as anything other than bullying - either they lack any sense of normal human interaction, or they're taking this as a threat in very very bad faith
― Terrific ribbon, Moe (stevie), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 12:59 (nine years ago) link
I think in the big picture joking about bullying on twitter, especially to these rubes who have no sense of context or irony, was a bad move, in retrospect
but holy shit are these people happy to take anything that they can conform to their narrative and hammer on it
― ⌘-B (mh), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 13:17 (nine years ago) link
xp
it was an unfortunate tweet tho' - obvious joke that hit a nerve (ie past or present experience) with a chunk of the sincere useful-idiot crowd & the cynics are exploiting it – they seem to be obsessively reframing a lot of this as bullying by SJWs now.

they were shooting at the boss and nothing was happening then the boss opened his biddle-eye and the eye pulsed red so they shot him in the biddle-eye and now mercedes benzes are crashing into gawker

Can I tell Mercedes that I will never buy their cars if they withdraw advertising from Gawker? Does the bullying work in that direction too?

Dear Mercedes, I have been a big fan of your cars for many years and have bought seven to twelve of them for my video games, however I never will gain, this is your last warning
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 13:57 (nine years ago) link
I really can't tell - the gg merc and bmw claims are noisy, but Gawker's denials are pretty clear.

The website of a Danish newspaper published an article on GamerGate, and goddammit, there's a guy spouting all the usual gamer bullshit. "#NotYourShield" The threats against Sarkeesian used SJW language, etc. I really hoped we didn't have guys like that.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 14:14 (nine years ago) link
In the comments. He is talking shit in the comments on the article.
total tl;dr preaching-to-choir post here but
their absolute inability to read Sam Biddle's bullying comments as anything other than bullying plus their inability to see their new meathead idol's glee for punching people (embarrassing/blackmailing people into being punched by him, no less), and putting people down AS bullying; the total free pass of GamerGate is well aware Nero hated us. Know what we like about him tho'? He actually did journalism. (reply to the Binder tweet D-40 linked to) while gnashing teeth over every perceived insult from any woman, games journalist, developer, all of whom are clearly SJW and not real gamer enough...
(srsly who wakes up one morning and goes "you know, I am not into games and totally don't even play them but I'm going to start thinking about them in a lot of depth, possibly even for a living" -- apparently everyone who ever thought the second half of that sentence, according to GamerGate)
...I have spent altogether too long reading my way round this rabbithole over the past week month (ugh) and I should probably stop. Mostly because it's a poor use of time which could be more constructively spent doing pretty much anything, including playing video games; but also because minds like that will not be changed, and finally I don't need to feed any pity or empathy for the imagined "moderates" or "useful idiots" any more, because if you can't see any problem with those mental contortions I. Don't. Even. etc

"embarrassing/blackmailing people into being punched by him" ok this is silly. making a big fucking song and dance about... oh who the fuck even cares. equal parts playground bully and every nasty manipulative stereotype implied by GG's "don't stick your dick in crazy" chorus and they don't even care because libertarian+lulz.
right, time to ignore it and get more coffee.

I wrote a long response to the Danish guy. There were people who knew nothing about it, and liked his comments. Hope I won't get attacked.

i've been looking at the sam b bullying tweet uproar (along with the gamer-death articles uproar and that whole anil dash saga) as mostly a willful misunderstanding, same way fox news likes to dig for anything that could be perceived as a gaffe and then spend weeks (or years #BENGHAZIIIIII) screaming about it w/tears in their eyes on camera
