Still no. Liking a cartoon character isn’t the same as being in that furry fandom whose members have dressing up as furries and identifying as them as a lifestyle choice. These guys go way beyond a cosplay hobby too.

But Vik describes furries as people who just love cartoon animals. “Do you like Bugs Bunny? Hate to break it to ya then, but you’re a furry.”

Everyone is entitled to a wrong opinion or two I suppose.

I’ve played through this game a few times and I’m not sure I’d describe it as a “smart, charming game” - a lot of the dialogue is sort of incoherent, the plot is difficult to figure out from the limited context the game gives you, and the endings seem to think you’ll be much more attached to these characters than you…

Finding the extremists on both sides of an argument equally distasteful is not a refusal to commit. It’s a refusal to sacrifice your values in the name of fitting in with the crowd.

OMG peached got kidnapped again we better get the pitchforks out and hang nintendo for using a damsel in distress trope.

Wow talk about missing the point...

fuck.

We’ve changed. South Park has always pushed the line, while more and more we back away from it.

If you liked the Book of Mormon but don’t like South Park anymore, I’m extremely skeptical about the sincerity of any argument for the latter that isn’t “I don’t like it when they needle some of the absurd extremities people I agree with or sympathize with take their arguments to”.

I posted this during a discussion about this issue at the AVClub:

It’s true that the original trangressive slant of South Park worked better when we were lambasting regressive social norms, but now that norms have become more progressive it has served as fertilizer for conservative/regressive attitudes. Being…

I’ve had my Switch for about as long and I’m in the same boat. I’ve also got Mario Kart 8 and have downloaded a bunch of demos but haven’t played almost any thing at all besides Zelda.

What’s your end game? Was that therapeutic to you, or are you looking for some yes-men..?

Say what you will but those MTV Gamecubes looked pretty damn slick.

It depends.

Let’s face it, Stephen King’s not a great writer, period. And yeah, his sex scenes are pretty bad in general. He’s a great story teller and has one hell of an imagination, but his style is lacking, to say the least.

Exactly. There’s a reason devs shouldn’t always listen to fan suggestions - if it’s an idea you had as a player, I almost guarantee that the devs thought of it too already and there’s a reason it doesn’t exist. However, this is a terrible reason, and terrible analogy.

That’s sort of my problem with it. I could buy the “we don’t want you to burn out, just trust us” approach to salmon run, especially when it went to being regularly for 12 hour blocks. I could find ways to fit it into my schedule.

I’m actually willing to sometimes believe the notion that “game developers know what’s best for you” even though a lot of gamers hate it, but I will say that at least in this specific case with Salmon Run, I’m not seeing it. If there was another example, great, but this is an odd one.

Basically, “because that’s how it is in Japan!”

Which can explain a LOT of game-related decisions.
