Unintentional Religious References is also the name of my thrash band.

Absolutely agreed. It’d be one thing if the original text were making a satirical joke about the KKK, or about NKK having some sort of racist practices- but it’s p. clear that he’s just getting his panties in a twist about common practices in localization.

Agree. If the Japanese didn’t realize that the KKK was something then I think it’s fine. Correct me if I’m wrong but the developers said it was NOT intended as a joke nor did they know of the social implications of KKK in the US. If I’m not mistaken in Japan, it’s often seen that simple puns are acceptible jokes or…

Yeah, I generally support liberal localization unless it devolves into utter sillyness (like some of the Fire Emblem stuff) or plain censorship... but this is not it. And he thinks he’s helping his cause by “starting a conversation”, but he’s doing the opposite.

“I want my huge tittied 15 year olds” is a very strange hill to die on.

Yeah, if the original game actually had a KKK reference, I would agree with him. So many games get censored when coming in the west while other games get censored when going in the east in the same way but in for some reason they are fine in the country of origin. But in this case, the KKK reference was not even…

This isn’t censorship, this is one guy trying to defend a bad joke that has no basis in the original text. It even says outright that the original name is a pun on light switches. What in the hell do light switches have to do with a radicalized Christian terrorist group?

No, not garbage. Driving was really good and super responsive. All of the races and modes were extra fun. Of course crash mode was really missing but you can’t say it was garbage.

Most Police training in the USA is very short and from admittedly very little research I recall that a large chunk of it is firearms training at the expense of using that time for other things such as de-escalation training or giving a shit about other people being people training.

Right, like being swindled by a fraudulent university run by a corrupt real estate failure.

Threatening extrajudicial execution is not proper procedure.

I funded Shenmue III to the tune of $315 and regret nothing because not only do I trust Suzuki-san, but he came forward with a clear plan and had pretty much gotten the band back together from Shenmue I and II.

Gone Home is really great within historical context and I still think many designers could learn a lot from how it told us about characters through the game space itself. Scanner Sombre doesn’t quite manage to hit that level of.. well, level design but it compensates for it with a lot of beautiful imagery.

Yeah, but it probably looked really cool to the other cop(s) standing around, and they had a big laugh about it back at the station, which is all that really matters, isn’t it?

These preachers obviously don’t even believe in God but they do know marketing!

So homosexuality is a sin but poverty pimping aka prosperity gospel preaching is the way?

Alas, there are video game moments so good that they should always remain pure.

Native New Orleanian here. After two years of intense fighting with the less informed old whites in my family, all I can say is fucking amazing! I now genuinely look forward to the wonderful taste of their Tabasco flavored tears. This erasure of a history of hate and ignorance makes me proud to live in this life raft…

I have said this before and it never stops being true: Donnie sounds like someone trying to have a serious conversation on a ball of cocaine. I really can’t listen to him talk, and when I read the shit he said, he sounds like a puppy that has too many shiny objects and noise makers around it.
