Jeeze, I still remember the exact time and place I learned about Miis. They are retro now. ugh.

Straight people and their holiday drinking events are wild man. Gays go nuts, don’t get me wrong (Pride, various street and kink fairs in various cities, etc.), but there is something about the St. Pat’s/Cinco de Mayo/Santa Run/NYE that is so heterosexual and messy I just can’t look away.

It’s interesting what companies you are covering that do this and that that don’t. Gameloft, which has a few offices in Ukraine, donated 600,000 Euros:

Dudes are made to feel worse about themselves about the size of their dicks. At least you didn’t have to wake up and choose to be one.

wow do you not at all remember the amazing best restaurant feature on old Gawker? It was incredible: https://www.gawker.com/the-best-restaurant-in-new-york-is-the-american-girl-ca-1546979492

It’s funny how these games can get great reviews and just not be the right kind of game for a huge population. 

I have a friend who worked on this game and it sounds like a total shit show from what they told me. People are being pushed out left and right, key leaders are dickbags and sex pests, key features haven’t been started. Oof

Get those clicks to pay your $45000 salary, gal!

I think if you have a reasonable sense of humor about it later and aren’t a dirtbag parent in the important things, this isn’t the worst.

This stuff will work on airheads too. My sister would always be an asshole and control the TV each night. Promptly fall asleep too, so what I would do is fast forward to the end credits of the movie she wanted to watch, wake her up, and she would go right to be.

But...this isn’t everything at the Nintendo Direct.

You in a comment offered more thoughtful and valid criticism than this article. Thank you for pointing out the flaws in CR in way fewer words and without throwing out the good they are trying to do. I agree this is very much shades of grey here. 

Then I welcome it, but so much of the frustration from the people on “the other side” is that there doesn’t seem to be a clearly defined line of what they can do. Instead, these articles at best start a good conversation with no “action items, at worse vilify the well-intentioned allies, and at the worst, become an…

I think this is valid and fair, and I think they can also do more to incorporate more people from the marginalized group. I could also say that CR could just give and not do anything remotely touching SWANA groups and those demographics would have even less representation. I don’t think in the context of this article…

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

I would not be sad if this little shitfuck accidentally shoots his nose off. 

I’m confused, so is Paul now a legit boxer?

I played this on a base PS4 and it looked worse than this and I paid full retail price soooo....sorry?

Sooooo, anime-only games?

I’m sorry you are going through this. This is awful. (This is also why I’m so pissed at Texas and Georgia and the Supreme Court - pregnancy isn’t easy, and they are expecting people in horrible situations do just deal with it). Like fuck, if men had to go through what you are going through, shit would be different.
