But to not be too biased (by my own claim), thought it was worthwhile to post it. They do say here that it only reduced malicious comments by 0.9% (so it didn’t increase).
Here it says it doesn’t help. This article says discrimination increases, but I can’t find the original source. They say real names are better then full anonimity, but worse then pseudonimity.

But searching for the right study, I can’t seem to find it. Only news articles claiming it, but that’s not much of a study. So maybe I shouldn’t have said it increases, but it doesn’t decrease (depending on which study and which aggregate level you look at). A lot of articles point at facebook where people need to use their real name but still post a lot of unfriendly stuff.

There have been a few studies that say scams, discrimination, racism and bullying will increase when people are forced to use their real name. In this case it’s probably because off a different reason, but still.

Why does he look like he is shitting and crying at the same time?

Had the same feelings going to a Taylor Swift concert with my grilfriend as a middle age man. Turns out, nobody paid attention to me because they where to busy screaming their lungs out and filming the show. Yeah, I could be a background stander in someone’s video, but they definitely would be the main character, not me. Everybody was there to have a good time and enjoy the artists and other people’s outfit. Don’t worry, you’ll do fine. Especially if you also like the music, that will be a connection. And usually the crowd for these artists will make you forget being uncomfortable and you start dancing and singing yourself a bit. Because if you see people crying, screaming, moving as if they are epilleptic but actually are dancing, you are less bothered with how you yourself look. Only regret I had was that I didn’t get to experience the whole living up to the concert feeling, just because of the anxiety.

Pre-ordering is dead, live paid alpha testing is booming. There are so many games in development (alpha or beta testing) which can be bought. And as soon as the game is in the ballpark of “finished” it get’s the v1.0 mark. And way before that, there are already DLC’s available for an unfinished game.

This isn’t a too shabby of an idea. It probably won’t be used but a mix of stores and homes in one building sounds great.
