I once gave a retro streamer $20 to help pay his cat’s vet bills. Pretty much the same thing.

I decided to give Fortnite a try again and wow has it changed quite a lot. No-build mode, Apex-like vaulting/sliding/ziplines, EVERYTHING is destructible now and have rigid body physics. Gold currency loot that drives a bounty, vending, NPC and weapon upgrade system.. vehicles, vaults/cases with good gear in them that…

I’ve tried to kill myself twice and don’t need to be lectured on the complexity of what causes people to do this. I said clearly I didn’t know him or what his personal life was like. When I wrote my comment, there were only three others here, two were jokes and one was an action figure tribute. Having struggled with…

It’s not about her playing video games. Video games are played by what, somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of the country? Something tells me that there are multiple members of the US Congress that play video games.

Last time I heard anything about him was when he was pressured to donating money to an organization, and then his far-right fans pressured him to change his mind.

So you *don’t* think that we can make everyone be treated equally-well...

So your argument is that white people should get as few second chances as non-privileged folk, rather than that everyone should be given the same opportunities to change as white people are? Seems like you’ve got this weirdly backwards.

Jake Paul and Pewdiepie are not at all in the same category. Take the time to watch a pewdiepie video and you’ll see how much he’s changed.

you meant “sentient” not “sapient” just fyi 

Yeah, I mean, the Roman Empire stretched to parts of Africa so there were literally black Romans. But I’m not gonna be upset about very little to none black people depicted in Rome, Italy in some game. 

And Jade Empire did have a token european. Although, to be fair, he was literally a joke.

This right here is exactly why, while disappointing, no one should be surprised by this, Japan does not have a history of healthy representation of diversity in any of its media. But at least it’s shown signs of getting better. I Am rewatching DBZ right now, just began the Buu saga and holy fuck I forgot about the…

While still disappointing, I don’t find it very surprising that a developer from a country in which 98% of the population share the same ethnicity and culture struggles to grasp the depht and importance of representation issues.

That’s fair. I think I’d be more receptive to some of those criticisms if they weren’t attached (fairly or unfairly) to conspiracy theories. And to DeMayo’s gossipy nonsense. That’s where it becomes a little muddied for me. I want to take criticisms of the show seriously but if they come from fan whining and a diva…

Have you...have you looked at Cavill’s prior statements about the show in articles in interviews? It’s pretty clear he was having lots of disagreements and issues in the case of this particular show. He all but outright said it in a few interviews, trying to avoid defamation/pr/career issues.

The fact the writers wanted to make the roach death scene a comedic scene, have Geralt barely talk until Cavill pushed against it, did what they did to Eskel, no less with little payoff due to lack of build up for the character on screen, character assassinated Yennefer, changed Elder Blood and a number of other…

The problem a lot of people seem to be unable to fully grasp is that an unfaithful adaptation isn’t necessarily a bad one. The Witcher Netflix series while not faithful to the source material is a great series. The same is true for the video game series.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is completely unfaithful to the source…

Stans are the worst.

I’m with you there.  Part of the reason I wasn’t all in on the CoD hate that was prominent during the late the 2010s is because I respected the single player campaign as scripted blockbuster affairs that could go crazy in ways that other games just didn’t.
