Dreamlight Valley is such a weird game. I had fun backwhen I played it. It was something weirdly charming about helping wall-e build a house, then convince Ursula to give Eric turned scrotum back to Ariel, cook with a rat and then throw a love curse on Anna from Frozen. All in a day. And then Scar moves in...

If this is done well it could be amazing. I love the Forgotten Realms, and a surival/life sim set in it could be a fantastic way to relax. Fingers crossed they do it justice.

All rape is (also) psychological abuse. I don't see your point. There is no good rape.

It’s wild how the person you’re responding to doesn’t understand that “but it’s okay because they DESERVE it” is exactly what rape apologists believe. They just draw the line at who “deserves it” differently.

There’s a pretty common attitude that all manner of atrocities - murder, torture, rape, even war and genocide - are fine as long as they happen to the “deserving”.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

how could that possibly be done ‘instantly’?

Nothing to do with the business and distribution model. It is solely about reporting growth to shareholders, and layoffs are the fastest way to free up cash.  It is short term strategy and happens in every industry. Good old capitalism.

“And also, I didn’t do anything wrong by bringing up George Floyd! After all, Kendall Jenner showed us that all he needed to do was offer the police officers a Pepsi Candoval.”

“I’d like to think Anne Frank would have been a Fandoval”

“Random strangers were mean to me online and it’s like I was LITERALLY MURDERED BY AGENTS OF THE STATE!”

Correct, but we didn’t know what the narrative payoff was until the last hour, where said narrative payoff is: Look Zack is alive again and we’re in a multiverse! There are ways that they could’ve made the Whispers and some characters knowing the future work. Especially if they leaned into meta commentary on the…

Right there on the PlayStation blog dated September 13, 2022.

Man, this game has so many people yelling at so many clouds in other places.

It’s not an error. It’s 100% the official English language version of the name. It’s right there on the Playstation blog, too - despite the comment you are quoting claiming it isn’t.

So, uhh... about that...

But it’s free! Free! Is it milking it if it’s free? If you get the milk for free, then why buy the Cownami? Pretty sure I’ve heard that before.

We’ll see if it’s good, but Konami may have learned something about public relations, and this could potentially sway opinions...
