Valve president Gabe Newell has hinted at the idea of PC-only Steam games coming to consoles, and said we should know more "by the end of this year."
In a talk at Sancta Maria College in Auckland, New Zealand this week, Newell was asked by a student if Steam would be porting games to consoles, to which the legendary developer hesistated, before saying, "You will have a better idea of that by the end of this year. [laughs] For sure, you will, and, most likely, you will see changes to Steam.
Get ready for more ethical misrepresentations. One of the guys who cooked up that whole zombie death threat thing can't handle nitty gritty details.
When teens in Colorado increased the number of risks they assumed in order to intimidate or intimidate a friend, their friends stayed longer with them, a new study finds.
"I feel this a follow-up on my original paper," said study researcher Carole Lieberman, PhD, associate professor of social work at the University of Delaware's Pomeroy College of Business. "Through my former group of gay males, I learned that boys could feel more 'about' the target group, blaming the victim. We wondered if homophobia could actually be realized in the real world."
About 60 or so students, ages 14-17, were asked a series of questions about hypothetical scenarios in which the victim was an offensive gay male trying to show dominance over a group of friends. The slight increase in risks felt by the teenagers threatened the target of the bullies, but, in total, they were more likely to stay with the target than leave them without a friend.
"The big message from this study is that the amount of friendship pressure can be a powerful predictor of whether to stay loyal to a friend, and it isn't necessarily one that is affected by the victim's gender," said Harvard University research psychologist Victor E. Stortz, PhD, a co-author of the study. "It can also be influenced by whether the victim is aligned with a dominant group — bully or victim — at the time of the bullying.-Literature on the relationship between homophobia and social relationships is scant."
The researchers' explanation for what was going on appears to likely explain much of natural situations such as friendships. In an evolutionary sense, some males try to push their perceived social status up to the point that it risks damage to the group by striking the victim, and this serves as a communicative mechanism that both encourages cooperation and prevents heterosexual competition. Another or secondary explanation, the authors said, is that boys recruit other boys to attack the victim, reinforcing the perceived social benefits of the attack.
Crucially, this issue is universal. Although this study focused on two gay male groups, the security of being part of a close group with a bully may have previously been an advantage in bullying scenarios.
The study, published March 18 in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is one of
