The team behavior and this statement are completely incongruous. While I agree with Kaplan that generally the meta is not something your average player needs to or should worry about the game balance is constantly shifted and adjusted based on what the OWL is doing so the game is adjusted according to that meta.…

Imagine playing a modern riff of Lovecraft, thinking the idea is pretty cool, then going on to read almost any of his writing. Like, close your eyes and throw a dart at a board picking what to read.
in modern parlance, it geenrally just means cosmic horror. scary world where investigators uncover a growing mystery that reveals a upended world where monsters, aliens and cult demons are the powerful ones and humanity, for all of our technology and advancement are just bugs. now the underlying racism is there if you…
Who said we should burn it? We ought to be aware of its underpinnings and much of his fiction had horribly racists elements in it. I imagine they did this to warn anyone who plays the game that the original texts are pretty screwed up. That seems like a good idea, does it not?
If an artist is racist but a work is not transparently racist, can you separate the art from the artist and enjoy it?
Not really true in Lovecraft’s case, though.
That’s not really the “lovecraftian” part of what people consider lovecraftian.
He was super racist, but more importantly, he was the worlds biggest piss-scared-baby. So while his stories had things like awful portrayals of foreign people and cultures, the majority of the themes stemmed from his overall fear of things…
Nah, it’s in a bunch of the stories, sadly. Read the description of the first reanimated corpse in Herbert West––Reanimator for the most explicit version.
Reread The Call of Cthulu and pay attention to his descriptions of people, you’ll notice that it’s not as separate from his writings as you think.
Lovecraftian describes a certain style of cosmic horror and weird fiction popularized but not created or pioneered by Lovecraft. Many authors writing similar stories before, during, and after his career were much better. But, Lovecraft had lore, and nerds fucking love lore.
By that same reasoning then the Fallout series has no reason to be ‘impolite’
Ask yourself a question. Did the speedrunner changing their name from TomatoAnus to TomatoAngus for this single event inconvenience you in the slightest? Did it inconvenience you more than, say, a parent watching the streams for fun with their younger children?
I believe I suggested exactly the opposite, actually. As I said, just because one is displaying art that contains vulgarity doesn’t mean one has be vulgar in how they choose to display it.
It’s not a matter of “too much.” It’s a matter of “don’t be impolite, because it’s not necessary.”
It’s not about “controversial.” It’s about basic common politeness. I can go see an R rated movie and not shout vulgarities while waiting in line for tickets, even though I know I’m surrounded by adults, because that’s the considerate thing to do.
Suddenly it’s “PC” to not talk about your butthole in a public, sponsored setting.
The SNES CPU was better at certain tasks, but while it was 16 bit, it only had an 8 bit data bus and thus required two memory reads to pull the data into the CPU, wasting cycles. The Genesis had a full 16 bit data bus and was run at a higher clockspeed making it quite a bit more powerfull, especially when it came to…
In terms of arithmetic power, the numbers speak against you. The SNES CPU was rather slow clocked compared to the twice as fast clock rate of the Genesis CPU (and back then, the clockrate actually did translate to more horsepower). The SNES had a lot of extra hardware to help the CPU, but the CPU itself was not as…
Actually the Genesis could do a lot of the same effects as Mode 7, except with less limitations. The SNES could only apply the effect to one entire background layer at a time, which is why in Mario World for example when there was a rotating object it would be against a completely black background.
Not be negligent enough in their responsibilities to allow a contractor to submit clearly plagiarized work, and then release that work to the public in the form of an advertisement without first performing the due diligence of reviewing the content, something any community college art professor has no problem…
