To be fair, the KKK are right up there with Nazis when it comes to groups that are easy to hate and mock.

To be fair, ‘faking things to make people laugh’ is basically the definition of fiction.

Idk if I’d call the validity of an interaction in an online video game about being a cowboy, at all relevant to the concept of trumpification. It falls more in line with things like “old wives tales.” False, but ultimately harmless.  

And if someone’s enjoyment of the content REALLY hinges on racists getting clowned…

I’d take it a step further and say in this situation, I don’t think it even actually matters if this is real or not anyway. I don’t think anything tangibly changes either way.

In regular RDR2 I fondly remember taking out a group of kkk, capturing the leader, hogtieing him and throwing him on the back of my horse, took him to the train tracks, threw him on the ground positioned my horse so he shit on him then left him on the tracks till a train came. After he was run over by the train I put…

God this is such a weird thing. My first guess was that it started independently and they just slapped the title on and called it an adaptation so Ubisoft would fund it.

For the avoidance of doubt, when daddy’s at work and the boy is home, his climbing all over me is my being extremely lovely and letting him goof around even though I’ve got work to do. When I’m not working, we have many a splendid gaming time together, most recently our obsession with Minecraft Dungeons.

I wonder what it says about you that this is how your interpret the celebration of options that allow greater accessibility.

There is a six-year old child vying for your attention and you play a video game? Give him a controller, for crying out loud...

OMG yes. But also a toggle for "There's a 6yo literally climbing on me while I'm playing."

The BEST part is that the same nerds crying about how “Game Journalists can’t play games” all cite the exact same like, *four* examples and that’s it. Every time. It’s all they have.

I had to type that out in Notepad before I saw it. Wow, good spotting! 

Definitely was the right call, due to the games I can’t imagine Geralt with anything but that general raspy kind of voice. I thought Cavill’s raspy voice fit quite well and felt perfectly in place with the character of Geralt.  

At first this just came across as an “oops” sort of mistake. After seeing the way that the mineral sounds kind of like Dolemite, I’m now of the belief that this was someone on the localization team thinking they were being clever and getting caught. That does not seem as coincidental as one may first presume. Glad…

I’m guessing this is one of those occasions where from the surface the response might seem a little knee-jerk, but if you peek into what it had become in that community I could imagine it being pretty horrendous. The post doesn’t really dip into that, which is a shame.

In a post about the name change on the Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Reddit group, some players lament the renaming, while others wonder why it was necessary in the first place

In my previous job we were using a naming convention in which we would mash up the names of search providers with the language a given asset was targeting. We would put the two words together in all lowercase. So stuff like “googlefrench” or “bingenglish” or whatever.

his japanese name was DigHoru? so his name was Dig Hole? Thats great. why not just call him that? Dig Hole. lol

My entire list would just be “6" repeated over and over. It’s far and away the perfect Final Fantasy game in every respect.

I mean, lots of things with great art direction will always have people who simply just don’t like the end results. But I don’t think the existence of people with dissenting opinions, a slight against the important of art direction at the end of the day.
