You’ve nailed the jist of most English Lit majors. They love stroking their vocabulary ego, even when writing pointless drivel like this fluff piece.

“Hey, you know how the game industry and gaming culture has no real standards of looks or fashion, making it casual and accessible, without alienating anyone? Lets demonise that. I feel like gamers should experience more stress about what they look like”
Exactly! These awards shows are primarily for gamers. Do they really think gamers give a fuck what people are wearing? No, they care about the games.
A professional writer using “Dripless fits” in the same sentence as “Violently oscillates” demonstrates to me, though they have a decent vocabulary, they are not above trying to hard to appeal to.... someone? This article screams of someone needing elevate themselves above a group of people. In the same paragraph you…
I’m 40 you little snot. Been playing games since Atari. I'm sure you'll have to look up what that is.
I’d love to read an article about diversifying the upper echelons of video game developing companies. I couldn’t give a rats ass less about what any of them are wearing.
As shitty and toxic as the tech industry can be, I feel like its casual lack of dress codes is a GREAT thing. I don’t really see a reason to make everyone rent a tux to pretend like they don’t wear comfortable clothes every day.
Yep, out of all the current issues with the industry, game execs and designers not wearing enough couture is definitely pressing.
Hey kids, what the fuck does “dripless” mean
This article: The Game Awards highlight this completely negligible thing that doesn’t have anything to do with the actual problems of the industry.
Me: The Game Awards highlight almost everything bad about the industry right now, like throwing money at a completely irrelevant event, that is only important because of…
If you wanted to talk about race and lack of people of color in the industry, you'd find like minded folks here but you prefaced using the fashion industry....dripless.
Alyssa, this article lacks so much drip, lady. You need to talk to some actual gamers(or hit me up) that you work with next time so you don’t look like a goof outside of your own element. I mean, this isn’t TMZ or April fool’s day, you can’t push out such a dripless article like this and expect to not get plowed by…
Who gives a flying fuck what someone wears to a video game award show? And more importantly, who gives a flying fuck about video game award shows?
Yes, how dare they... not dress fashionably enough?
His bomber jacket is probably a couple hundred dollars, and his dad jeans may be some pricey label. Although the bomber jacket covers his wrist, he strikes me as a Rolex kind of guy, but a TAG Heuer or Carty wouldn’t shock me. A TAG Carrera or Monaco in particular seems like something a Forza fan would dig.
And? This complaint doesn’t hold the kind of water today that it did 8-10 years ago when nearly ALL the woman in video games were designed around being nothing more than eye candy with the personality of being *juuuuuust* easy enough to where if you played your cards right she would throw you a pity lay. Yes,…
$15k for 20 hours of work isn’t “bad.” It’s well above the average rate for videogame VA and many, many times more than the average hourly rate for non-VA work.
To be fair, while Hideki Kamiya is a piece of work, whoever is actually doing the writing for Bayonetta actually manages to sneak in a lot of really good feminist themes hidden under all the sex appeal.
Good. Beating up cops should be its own reward.
Well I assume it’s because they didn’t need to incentivize players to beat up the cops
