Because at least some of them recognize how bad that all looks to normal people and think that if they just get a photo op of them visiting a Jewish Deli or something that they’ll be able to say “See we’re tolerant and diverse, we accept everyone, which just so happens to include Nazis.”

Would love to know the in lore reason for why these girls exist. These gijinka gacha games always have explanations ranging from “Stop asking questions” to the most buckwild bizarre concepts. (Looking at you ‘isekai but for racehorses’ game)

Yeah exactly, and publishers aren’t going around using the sale of said books to say “Lovecraft was right actually.”

Yikes

Wow this goes way further than I expected; effectively calling on them to undo the merger from years ago? Feels like it might be so strong so that they can negotiate down to what they really want.

He thought he was really clever for that one huh?

I definitely hope party control is not removed and is simply not prominent in the UI. Tactical mode never worked great in DA but being able to switch character control was always fun and key to strategizing.

Yeah, the footage here looks so rough that I’m hesitant to draw conclusions about almost anything. Plus we still have no real release date so it’s not like the game is coming out in a couple months and this is the state it’s in.

I completely forgot the battle mode was different originally, should’ve realized the Splatoon arena would not have been in the original just timeline wise.

Being LGBT myself, I’ve always gravitated towards healer/support roles in multiplayer games and it’s definitely a mixture of the “important but not usually verbally harassed” (except by Genjis that think jumping ten miles behind the enemy is a good use of my time) and a sort of desire to support the team by filling…

I maintain that Mario Kart 8 is, bizarrely, one of the best examples of a multiplayer focused, post launch supported game in the current era. While obviously it’s now receiving a massive content injection, initially it just released like four map packs and then coasted for 8 years on just that and a re-release that…

I don’t remember Left Behind getting the same level of flak tbh. I’m sure it did somewhat, but certainly not what we saw with TLOU2 and now this. Wonder how much of that is because Ellie was young (conservatives love to write that off as confused) and also because of how it ends. If it’s unhappy then that’s usually…

I also see a lot of people complaining and saying “the show is about Joel and Ellie” they used that flimsy excuse to rip apart the second game too, but hey, newsflash, this game and tv show adaption is called “The Last of Us.” not “The Joel and Ellie Show.”

My general view of AI is that it’s ability to be interesting is an inversion of it’s uncanny valley. There’s a point (like this ‘show’ seems to be at) where it’s almost able to depict something but only in such an inhumanly distorted manner that it feels alien and thus, fascinating to watch/observe. Before that…

Literally no different than the talking points you hear over here about how we need to induce a recession to solve the “labor shortage” (people choosing jobs that pay fairly instead of exploit them)

Supposedly Engage was originally going to be an anniversary title, before it’s schedule got jumbled up by covid, and so I can imagine that might be part of the reason it was pared back; to harken back to Fire Emblem’s earlier days (probably why it also has that extremely plain UI, which has huge NES Fire Emblem vibes)

I tried to keep an open mind; after all if the battling is great then it’s a bummer but not that important if the writing is nonexistent right? And I’ve enjoyed tactics games with totally nameless soldiers before. But after watching playthroughs to judge, the dearth of world building and character writing isn’t just…

I haven’t even picked up Engage and just from what I’ve seen it’s also making me want to just pick up Three Houses again. And I already did all the routes lol.

Coming back to this because it only just struck me he decided to keep his chat overlay on for his apology. Absolutely incredible.

Sims 4 may be DLC hell but they really seem ahead of the curve on stuff like this. I really hope it is present from the start whenever this fabled Sims 5 comes around.
