I’m getting older and I’m busy a lot and there is a lot of games out there. If you don’t make it easy for me to buy your game, I won’t bother. If you try to sell me a 60$ game for 100$ by having crap dlc? You’re out. Gameplay focused around lootboxes and microtransaction? out. I’m not boycoting stuff that comes out…

By the way Josh, you should consider writing an article regarding the Epic store and the game Darq. I know I know lol that would go against the narrative and this isn’t going to get a response whatsoever. We have to make sure Epic and its developers are the victims, even when they are evil as fuck on this shit show.…

In covering the Epic Games Store, Kotaku has written about how the consistent, perpetual rage over its mere existence

Hey look at that. He managed to do it without screwing over the fans that were already paying and supporting the game and then pulling the rug from under them(ooblets), he didn’t resort to calling the people supporting his game a bunch of petty labels(ooblets), and then didn’t tell his fans who can’t even pay for…

First up, why not just “Latins”?

because of a fad that came from english speaking countries

Yeah, the term is in its infancy so it makes sense that it is only used by certain groups and in certain situations. It’s fair to discuss why that is, how it might change/evolve, etc. I guess the main thing that irks me is the people saying “this term is never used”, even though it clearly is, especially when they…

The tricky part there is that the phrase is just variations of “ladies and gentlemen”, which is calling out two specific genders, and is therefore less inclusive than a completely genderless term.

not at the whims of people that speak another language

Hay más dinosaurios en la Real Academia que en Parque Jurásico.

To be frank, now that I know it makes you, in particular, uncomfortable, I’m even happier to identify as Latinx.

This assumes that we are not attempting to do this, and that we are on an equal playing field when it comes to getting projects off the ground financially, and that we can break our game into the broader pop culture. A lot of us can barely stop ourselves from getting rounded up by the country we were born in, and put…

I know, right? If only people heard what I’m saying, they’d know that the issue with Latinx has more to do with nationality and class perception within the Latino communities than with some supposed ethnic outsiders inventing a term to apply to Latino people.

While it is true that the Cuban flag inspired the Puerto Rican one, there’s no need to throw shade. After decades of it being a felony to fly our own flag, we’re touchy about that shit.

They don’t speak for you. They speak for themselves, these first-generation-and-on people who choose to use Latinx. But again, you are so bigoted that you insist they aren’t real Latinos. Fuck that.

Are you serious? Go read a book from 50-100 years ago and the people in that book will sound almost completely foreign; even if you recognize all the words, the way they are used, and their precise meanings, will be different, as will some of the grammar. Languages does not wait on a bunch of struldbrugs in some…

I’m Latinx and I identify as such as do dozens of people I know. :)
