Assimung Myazaki’s words for the Souls series still ring true, the developer intent is for players to have specific feelings. That goal may be at odds with what the player wants from the game, but it’s their game to make.

No, it’s the nature of the medium to use input devices. And it’s the nature of certain types of games to require certain speed/fidelity of movement to play adeptly. Culture isn’t preventing whatever evolution of the medium that would be needed to engage these games preserving the developer decisions while also…

He’s not the one making the decision.

No, it’s not.

Why is this about him?

> In this example, an easy mode or even a series of toggles that allow players to customize game experiences is about allowing them to participate in that experience.

A slight correction:The design decisions making up this game, for which the person you’re responding to is in no way responsible, is contingent on other people not being able to enjoy the game.

This is something specifically singled out in the rules. This isn’t something someone had to dig for to divert attention from somewhere else. It’s clearly spelled out and not someone manufacturing something to steal your thunder.

So wait, are you for or against erotic fandoms? I ask because there being a lot of material for that purpose is directly related to people openly making it around whatever they want.

Sounds like the issue is bad moderation. Looks like the solution isn’t improving moderation. Good luck to them with that approach.

Because DeviantArt didn’t allow a lot of the decidedly pornographic content that Tumblr did.

If the comments that initially incited this were something one might be told to be thick skinned about you’d have a point. That isn’t the case here. It’s not being dellicate, it’s reciprocating the courtesy a specific individual shows you. If someone slashes your tires you don’t slash the tires of the next random car…

Not sure if you’re even still reading replies to this but I thought I’d interject here to point out a few points:

Her 3D artist is creating something that real women with agency would wear, therefore just by being in that outfit doesn’t mean that the character was intended to appear devoid of agency within the work.

No, non-violent games, which do exist, do not challenge the way we view violence. They simply don’t acknowledge it, which can’t and won’t alter the way we think about violence in games that do feature it. It’s not a challenge at all. It’s avoiding any such challenge.

KI season 3 has an 86 compared to the 85 posted, I’m not seeing a more recent one on a simple search. If I were fanboying, I’d go with the initial release 73. I’ll grant you cuphead is an interesting omission, but again we’re talking 88/86 depending on platform.

No, that’s not fanboying to leave those out. Having flops doesn’t negate the hits. No man’s sky hasn’t diminished my time on Nier:A, Bloodborne or HZD (and actually NMS did give me some fun before the staleness set in).

Parental controls and age verification exist for a reason. As does adult supervision. Why it should be on twitch to reduce the range of content they offer because 10 year olds might see the same thing they see at a pool is beyond me. Perhaps we need to divorce ourselves from the notion that twitch is/should be a child…

Yes, yes you can. Visibly having breasts doesn’t reduce a woman to being nothing but breasts. If it does that’s wholly an attitude issue on the part of the objectifying viewer. Also, you’re discounting her agency in the decision to use her sexuality for a profit. Sexualization isn’t inherently objectification.…

I haven’t seen it, and I’ve tried to get into sessions that I’m pretty sure filled between when I loaded the SOS flares and when I tried to join.
