Just in case you feel like you’re going nuts just because you’re the one in the comments ranting and screaming about corporations and exploitation and the literal death of the author: +1.

I can’t tell if people can’t see how much of the corporatocracy’s work they’re doing for the companies or if they just don’t care.

The sequel so relentlessly mediocre that its mere mention is enough to make the average reader reinstall the original.

Thank god. I love that show, but fuck that episode.

I hope my earlier comment didn’t come across as disagreeing with yours. I was just a massive fan of Wright and hadn't heard about her recent vaxx stuff.

I did NOT crawl out from under my rock to find out that Letitia Wright is one of those.

I have to disagree - only about Odyssey. You’re exactly right about the other 3d games (Sunshine feels like it should be left out, but the letdown there was Mario’s moveset, not so much the challenge structure).

I tend not to stick to games unless they’re challenging in some way. Rather than letting this drastically…

Exactly! It felt like I was given a reward on a timer, no matter how little effort any given reward required.

Literally have no idea why I wrote “every,” I very much meant “most.”

YESSS, I agree! I feel for the developers, because what example in-series do they have? The Adventure games mostly hold up as campy fun, and the rest of the 3d entries are awful.

I think you’re onto something in your last paragraph: straightforward levels with branching paths that end in different beats. The joy isn’t…

Congrats?

I couldn’t disagree more; Odyssey is a game obsessed with handing over the only reward it can (moons) for things as inane as “look over this ledge” or “kick this one rock.” The less the game design world copies from that game the better we’ll all be.

Unless it’s his movement, or the camera. Both of those things were…

I thought the Arbiter sections were more fun than many of the Chief sections, which felt like more of the same. 

Yeah, for sure, let’s not blame the behemoth investment group trying their level best to turn gaming into the same sort of monopolized bullshit that has destroyed cinema.

“In addition to that, she has also gone on to become something of an icon to gay gamers, something of a minor icon for the kinds of feminists that can think beyond “if this is for males, it must be destroyed”

Please point me to the feminists who think “if this is for males, it must be destroyed.” Smells to me like…

Someone says “yawn” at a ... bad take about how portraying a sex-positive woman in tight leather must be anti-feminism and ... you think they should die?

Nope, Jake A Rowling is a fucking bigot. She’s so proud to BE a bigot that she has several pictures of herself wearing a shirt that brags about being one.

You say “it’s scummy,” I say it’s a billionaire using her massive platform to spread dangerous rhetoric which has led to a measurable physical harm towards trans…

Man I’m glad I wasn’t snarky about it or I’d be really embarrassed rn.

Not sure where you got $16k, though I may have missed something. I thought the article said she was offered $4k.

If they're paying established talent peanuts then they don't care about their new worker's health. Let's not pretend this is anything other than PLEASE BUY OUR GAME

#correction: flip “Black” and “ass” in the sentence after you say typing out that quote made you laugh.
