Yup happened with Aloy too because she “wasn’t attractive enough” to be a female lead character

I wonder if women get briefed by developers/publishers when they’re hired to act or model for a game, if they’re at all made aware of what will happen in social media as a consequence of being hired. I wonder if, whoever will end up being cast as Abby in HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, she will be made aware that,…

No Nexus? I mean if 2.5D and vita games count , surely VR does as well?

You know those trap-py TikTok videos about video game nostalgia?

As I’ve gotten older, games like Revelations, about older people, figuring out their actual reason for being, finding a family, and also realizing you’re not the main character, which is what Ezio realizes when he helps Desmond find himself at the end, that a lot of what he had spent his life doing wasn’t meant for…

Did Brotherhood feel like a really big expansion to AC2?

Syndicate is the best game, don’t @ me! :) 

Consumerism is absolutely out of control.

My interest in Stanley remains flat.

Oh, absolutely. Even if Peter will most likely be in the game too, if only in the third act to give the heroes a hand when they need it most, they will howl the moment they don’t see him front and center in a trailer.

Basically, every mission where you had to help, or worse play as, a person of colour, a queer person and/or a person with a disability was a proof that the game was infected with woke politics. This included the missions that “forced” you to play as Miles. Oh and the ending were Miles “replaces” Peter as Spider-Man.

And every one of the movies was written and directed by men,with the exception of the movie held up to be the best of them all, Empire, which was written by Leigh Brackett.

Also, arguably a big part of what made the originals work was the main woman involved in their production, that being thier editor, Marcia Lucas.

It is “fans” in the selective way, much like any christian denomination in the US. It is selective about what they actually consider valid and then selective on the interoperation of what makes it past the first cut.

Add fake Spider-Man fans to this - I recently became aware of “fan backlash” against the wokeness in the new Spider-Man 2 video game. Said wokeness consisted of:

I found it extremely telling how keyboard warriors could write thousand-word screeds about how Kennedy ruined Star Wars with the sequel trilogy, but had almost nothing to say about Bob Iger or the executives at Disney.

Yeah I still buy Blu Rays from time to time for TV shows that I already love and dont want to pay streaming services for. Bought all of Brooklyn 99 for like 45 bucks on Blu Ray and that was way better than paying for peacock for a few months. As for CDs, Im pretty sure without even trying that there is no device in my…

The actors and writers went on strike to get a piece of the streaming pie last year. It was a very big, public thing.

Fuck the creatives that depend on royalties, I guess.

This is a good deal - the Quest 2 is pretty awesome as a standalone headset and makes for a pretty decent PCVR solution.

But if you can afford a Quest3, do that instead. They’re better in quite a few ways.
