Devuan, the once devil-may-care total fork of Debian, once linked to virulent internet sexism and gamer-gate affiliated image forums by Debian Developer Russel Coker, has mulled the option of enacting a Code of Conduct when one of its female members was insulted:

>jaromil jeez. we need to take precautions. and also I get the point from Sarah Mei we need a code of conduct on-line and later for on-site http://www.sarahmei.com/blog/2015/02/01/the-fos...

Devuan has been criticized for taking a "who gives a damn" and "real admins do it all by hand themselves every install" attitude towards security hardening scripts, and despise in particular any mention of the "bastille" linux hardening script (originally funded by Mandrake Linux).
Interestingly when Devuan was forming, the people behind Devuan cited the very person they are considering making the code of conduct against:

>VUA: It will be a governing body that puts the benefits of the users first, not the mystification of a "doacracy" delivering all the power to the package maintainers.
>Originally, Debian was created as a universal operating system for the users. The Free Software movement itself is there to defend users' rights. Sgryphon explains it well in this thread. ( http://www.debianuserforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=3031 )
>We will likely reproduce the governing body of Debian to follow its original mandate, with the advantage of starting small and more focused, hopefully with less pressure from the interest of commercial developers.

It was Hammerlock. There is one side quest where you have to get this box from a super large...skrags? Whatever those large bat wing looking things were, and Hammerlock asks you to get the pages of his book back while you are getting the box. He simply has a throw away line like "Yeah my ex stole it, it was a bad breakup" or something like that, nobody cared because it wasn't bitchslapping you with it like in PS. The PS feels like a game written by Reddit, its ALL SJW "did you know I'm a" (insert gay/trans/whatever) just pounding you with it...and you are right its their ONLY character trait which makes them parodies.
And I never had a problem with any RNG in BL2, because there was always the bosses you could farm for loot. I never understood everyone getting hung up on legendary because I had several legendary weapons (I ended up giving away a ton and still have lockers full of them) because you would often find a blue or purple weapon that was frankly better in every way. You slap the Morningstar sniper rifle in the hands of...aww crap, the guy with Bloodwing...and ooohhh mama, by the fifth round you could be popping for a million damage!
But I don't think they did it to fix RNG, I think they did it because of "gravity gun syndrome" where the devs fell in love with a mechanic and broke the game to push it like HL 2 did with the gravity gun or Infinite did with the skyhook, in the case of PS? Its the fucking grinder. If you didn't hear they had a grinder in the game, feed it 3 weapons and you would get one random of the next higher tier, 3 whites equal a green, three green a purple, etc. Problem was you ONLY ever found shit white guns in game, so either you spent all your time hoping a vending machine would pop up a legendary or you spent ALL THE DAMNED TIME being a glorified pack mule just dragging endless mounds of shit guns back and forth to the grinder. Between that and the SJW shit it completely ruined the game, so badly that I didn't even bother playing the DLC, I just tossed it.
As for BL1? I still play it for the DLC, I love General Knox "Oh look our glorious leader sent me a dragon made out of macaroni" and Zombie Island, just a blast to play, though not as polished as BL2. And I'd love a new SS, even if they went the Deus Ex route, but you just know they'd go reboot, and it'd be full of hipster fourth wall breaking and pop culture crap. I swear its like devs today just can't see how badly pop culture crap dates movies and so just keep sticking memes and Reddit crap into their games. Its not surprising though, did you see how EA fought against Battlefield I because they thoughts kids would be too dumb to know there was a WWI and would be expecting the same kinda shit they got in MW...sigh.
And it doesn't surprise me about Capcom, only Konami is worse at screwing up a franchise than Capcom, just look at how they keep trying to turn Resident Evil into a fricking action game, or the way they keep slowing down and bloating Street Fighter with one button specials and crap...yuck.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
