Or, you know, they just removed it because a pose that screams “look at my ass! LOOK AT IT!” for a character who isn’t flirtatious is both out-of-character and lazy. But yes, Western society does have... “Issues” when it comes to what types of bodies are “allowed” to be sexy.

Are you making an argument that the Over the Shoulder pose was the only thing that was ever sexy or portrayed as sexy about Tracer? And that by removing it they both permanently and purposedfully removed any trace of her attractiveness from the game?

What sexuality? It was a victory pose.

So, now you’re advocating an eating disorder. Continually lowering the amount of calories you take in will never be a good idea. At a certain point, you are sacrificing your health to be thin. You lose nutrients and, eventually, hit a starvation point (which just makes your body hold on to fat that much harder.)

If it were that simple, there wouldn’t be certain medicines or medical conditions that make you rapidly gain weight. The body can and does react to calorie restriction. 

Except that this is complicated by many things, including the fact that, when the body detects an imbalance in the calories in and calories out, it is incredibly good at reducing at rest activity and increasing cravings - all to bring things into balance again. This is something we obviously don’t want, but the…

Them is Florida prices. Special mark up to cover the kickbacks under the table. 

I would love a remake of Killer Klowns From Outer Space that incorporates social commentary

It’s Pittsburgh.  The rest of the story is that the hole the car got stuck in wasn’t the one they were working in.  That hole had been there since 1973.

No, you are conflating what the author is saying with a “slippery slope” argument so that you can both dismiss their criticism and absolve the target of their criticism from having to take any action. Whether you are doing this purposefully or just because you fundamentally don’t understand what the author is actually…

How is thoughtful critique “eating” anyone? I’m a white person, and goddamn are we embarassingly thin-skinned. If any of y’all whining in the comments could muster half the thoughtfulness that this post required, maybe an interesting discussion could happen. But it never will because you’re so inordinately upset by…

Yeah but you can’t just paint all white people costumes with the same brush.

Well the mistake here is that liberals are not leftists and rich white people are not particularly good at standing in solidarity with marginalized populations.

And that’s kinda the point of this article. The players don’t know how to interact with this setting because they don’t know anything about it so what’s the point of using that setting? They can hire as many consultants as they want but in the end the predominantly white cast is telling the story that they don’t know…

“...well-intentioned people...”

Do you need a million examples of how good intentions poorly executed do not measure up to their own intent?

It’s not enough to mean well if you don’t do well.

The “solution” is the same as it ever was: Listen to the criticism of marginalized people and try to do better next time.

“Even though they hired consultants to help build the world of Marquet, the consultants aren’t the people through whose eyes we’re seeing that world.”

No, Dorfromantik means something like “the romance of villages.” Seems like a very apt name for the game, since it is about building lovely little villages.

I’m not sure for you can call it "missing" when it's not a feature listed, planned, or even normal for the genre. These games are usually done by a small group of people and I'd much rather they spend their resources on something other than trying to add a first - person mess that would just make your city look like…

Great to see it getting some love! I’ve been playing it the last few days and having a ball - as you say, its just the right level of relaxing.

The only caution I’d give is that I think it’s misleading to describe it as a city-builder.  It’s actually a puzzle game with the veneer of city-building.  Like, you could…
