Sorry to reply to you twice, but I meant to add this in.

The difference is Dragon’s Dogma Online, as awesome as it was(all you had to use was a vpn to play), it was a MMO experience, and MMOs are not for everyone. It may seem taboo nowadays to not have multiplayer but there was a gaming era not that long ago where publisher industries FORCED multiplayer in otherwise fine…

Yeah, they’re a bit of lost causes. Fearful of a world they feel they deserve to own from within their mother’s basement and behind a keyboard.

I bet their realization is what led to them being like this. They want their fantasies.

The word was quickly demonized when it was gaining steam on social media for having compassion and “awareness” for marginalized community suffering a few years back. A lot of people in power took it, twisted it, and turned it into a narrative that it means “anti-white”, “Anti-cis” or “anti-establishment”, etc, to…

Ah, another movement of incels, manbabies who fear the world, but feel they deserve to own it. Kind of explains their views of how women should look like.

It’s not that realistic to expect people with colossal egos to acknowledge humanity, because they have yet to see theirs or can’t look past their ego/sense of entitlement. Toxic gamers are a more condensed version of the toxic retail shopper.

Not quite the newest class, that award goes to the SWORDTRICKGUNROYALTRICK class Warfarer. This class was unveiled before it iirc. What’s more is that people who have played Dragon’s Dogma Online may see similarities to the High Sceptre and Spirit Lancer vocations and can conclude that this vocation is a combination…

My most anticipated game of the year and 2024 is packed to the brim with solid games. I’m also not pre-ordering my most anticipated game of the year unless Steam’s services are guaranteed to shut down on this game’s release - which is unlikely. They’re masterworks all, you can’t go wrong.

The first Dragon’s Dogma is…

God, and when I thought FF16's moogles were uncanny valley, especially when you talk to one and Clive is voiced, but the Moogle is not.

The thing is, the US government is doing a fine job of expressing how little they care about checks and balances and the law of the land. 99% of the stuff they do is ultimately self-serving. Trump and his cronies had inspired a lot of like-minded fools regardless of their experience in politics, or even high school…

As the saying goes, “Don’t meet your heroes.”

The Switch was Nintendo’s well-respected, late CEO Satoru Iwata’s final gift to us. This is going to be a bit hard to leave a solid console behind.

Honestly, I wouldn’t say no to a sequel like this. Magus has plenty of story to be told in his search for his sister. Lucca’s character is a strong, but cool-headed desire to right wrongs. What of Crono and Marle’s fate? How is Dalton affecting the present, etc. There’s plenty of story to be told if you understand the…

The industry’s salivating of “AI” in the arts is more an extension of their disdain towards the artists if anything. This is just going to be normalized in the future in our hustle/grifting culture in my pessimism. However, I agree, if your business, no matter how small cannot afford to pay the laborers, then you…

Yes, there has been a general disdain toward the arts, especially the artists. Hell the entire NFT/AI movement was birthed because of the disdain. The systemic issue, I argue, has only got worse. It all boils down to not paying the creative laborers in any industry, because business owners, publishers, corporate or…

Quantity over quality is what corporations all over the world push for.

Marvel is owned by Disney, and they have done a nice job at breaking down franchises mostly to avoid paying the people that work on the projects their due. It’s naive to think that in our creative industry today, or ever, really, that major corporations are on the creatives’ side. Why do you think they’re so invested…

Unfortunately, this is increasingly a normalized practice in ALL creative arts job positions, even the big companies. The business executive class get where they are by exploiting, and stealing from the working class.
