I am trans, so I’d like to think my viewpoint holds weight. Plus I also know more than a few transfolk myself, and their opinions would likely vary (most leaning on the side of disliking this kind of shit), but all of them are irritated by the fact that we’re never the ones that get to lead the conversation about…

Man, this site’s a fucking joke if it’s calling out transphobia in GTA, but isn’t doing jack shit about actual fucking hate speech on its articles. I swear I even saw a response to me get shadow banned after they speculated they were keeping this asshole’s posts up for “engagement”.

Oh hey look, someone proving my exact fucking point, too bad they’re prolly gonna get removed for hate speech.

It’s about punching down, and if there was at least one trans writer we knew of in the team to make sure that any jokes or criticism of anything trans has at least some representation and lived experience behind it, it’d be a very different story. You can have gritty, cynical humor without being an asshole to people…

Cue the wave of cis people whining about this like it actually affects them. As is the usual, the conversation won’t actually be lead by trans folk, but people who don’t have a horse in the race arguing what’s best for people they know nothing about.

The fact you think they’re gonna strip away Disney stuff makes me kinda doubt that a little tbh. III had virtually no FF representation, but KH is almost entirely sold on its Disney worlds and reps. Disney gives them carte blanche to use whatever IPs they want, and that’s what people really care about first and…

You lost me when you started rambling about wokeness and leftism. It made your message damn near incoherent. You can’t just toss buzzwords in and expect them to mean something.

Are you implying Russia’s on top, and Finland’s scrambling to catch up? If so, hoo boy you must be living under a rock, so lemme just direct you to the news of the past month, and for dessert check out the history of the Winter War.

Ciri’s medallion is from a Cat school witcher she knew in the books - she took his medallion and uses it, you can see it on her model in TW3.

I disagree with the article solely because that’s an insanely high “standard” imo. You’re just setting yourself up for disappointment by expecting a second round of lightning in a bottle, bare minimum. They had the perfect storm to make the game and dialogue system they did, and like you said - trying to just slap…

*Spoilers for the first stonesword dungeon, the one next to the tutorial*

I don’t really even think the easy mode argument stacks up with Elden Ring, given that the game is designed around more or less being able to customize the difficulty of the vast bulk of the content in the game. There’s essentially a difficulty slider already built into the game - if you’re struggling to take on x…

Hot takes:

1, that’s really hard to actually do unless you’ve already read/watched the scene. You’ll be skipping around trying to find where it starts/ends. Skip too little, you end up seeing it anyhow. Skip too much, you might miss serious story context if say, you just go over the whole chapter and not the scene. The site I…

For me, it doesn’t matter how it’s played, or what the author’s intention is - it’s not something I want to see at all, and any media that has it is a hard pass for me.

Any content warnings other than gore? I’m especially averse to anything with sexual violence, and seeing how much this series is compared to Berserk makes me uneasy and unsure if I should give it a try.

This entire thread is weird to read as someone who’s never owned a dishwasher.

Game’s out in a day ffs, just stay away from your usual internet haunts if you’re that spoiler-averse 

Cool but I ain’t touching them until the bundle goes down to $60, absolute max I’m willing to pay for an okay remaster collection of NES/SNES games.

He did this a little under 4 years ago, and that damn near captures the spirit of character as well as I’ve ever seen anyone else do.
