Someone needs to add “what toxic means” to the high-school curriculum. I’m getting tired of people calling valid criticism toxicity.  Is every comedy special and SNL toxic for making fun of things that are broken in society?  Come on people.  Sure, there’s some toxic content, but making fun of broken things isn’t…

Replying to myself instead of all the rest — no, a Kickstarter backer isn’t an investor. You’ve pre-purchased a product that *may never happen* — go read the terms of service again. You have gained NO equity in the company and have NO say in the product unless the dev wants to give you some. If you really understand…

KS backers are a special kind of privileged children sometimes.

So its basically a remake that would’ve looked fine on a 3D TV and saved people a headset.

Its like rewriting Metal Gear Solid not to use on the nose jokes and puns.  Crazy talk.

Wow. Someone’s out of touch. $20 for the pretty city? That’s the part that actually costs so much. The story and quests are cheap compared to actually doing all that art design and engine work.

“And to further ground expectations, you also have to consider that a next-gen upgrade for a six-year-old game will no doubt make it look prettier and load faster, but you’ll still be playing a six-year-old game.” Wait, what? Have you actually replayed the Witcher 3 recently? In almost no way does it feel like a six…

You mean these? There’s ~400 of them. Sure, lots are re-releases with higher resolutions but I’ve yet to figure out how that makes them less of a PS5 game.  And its a pretty wide variety of game types too.  Maybe inform yourself?

They were in first place, now they’re not, so they’re doomed?  Right.  Logic there.

You seem to have a hard time with what clarity is. The evidence was clearly visible.  What it meant was not clear.  These are two different statements.

You’re thinking of Microsoft and Apple.

I find it strange when geeks hate on successful geeks. Let's celebrate each other instead.

I’m sorry who exactly do you think Musk is? Surely you don’t realize what he’s done for EVs or for space flight or for Internet availability or for Internet payments for that matter because your rant sounds like it's about someone else and not Musk.

Way to totally miss the point. The people in question (Activision/Blizzard) are not leftist liberals — they’re virtue signalling by removing some ‘nudity’ instead of ACTUALLY being virtuous by treating women properly in the workplace.

There was nothing wrong with those images in the game in the first place.  And nothing wrong with the nudes at the art gallery either.  The problem is with how they treat women in the actual real world.

I’m impressed at how many people don’t understand what you’ve said.

By making the women cover up more, they’re inferring that being uncovered was more wrong in the first place.  Its not.

Its almost like they really don’t get it at all.

It’s different entirely and yet isn’t, but this is one way I really appreciate the way Gloomhaven was designed; the combat system allows you to work out in advance if you will succeed or fail and that lets the player make better if unrealistic decisions.

You kill five or six people because you have to, and things aren’t noticeably worse the next chapter. This has been documented elsewhere:
