What bothers me is the number of steps involved in the new fatalities. You do something that would clearly kill someone, and then you do more stuff to the corpse, just because.

This is an old, old problem. I remember Urban Rivals having disproportionate demand for female characters with “skin,” and that was 2006.

I don’t like the image rights approach to this, because I feel like it’s too broad. I mean, Donald Trump doesn’t have the right to sue you if you write a fanfic about him having sex with Mitch McConnell. I’d rather approach it in terms of reputation damage from a realistic-looking deepfake.

I just don’t think Harry Potter is unique enough to be worth this rage. I mean, I like Mortal Kombat, and NetherRealm literally gives its employees PTSD. I enjoyed High on Life, and I read the articles here about Justin Roiland. Nothing I’ve heard about the Harry Potter game sounds like anything I would ever play, but…

Warning: Observation expects you to read blurry text in low lighting conditions. It gave me a migraine on PC.

When you target “people who are consuming media wrong,” people who consume that media are correct to predict that your target identification will suck and you’ll also target people who’re doing nothing wrong. Their anger at you is both predictable and justified.

It’s like the writers thought that if a character experienced an emotion, that would automatically cause the player to experience the same emotion. Like when a character who’s barely been characterized dies, and the other characters mourn, and it’s taken for granted the player will mourn.

More like it has 3 endings with 20 brief slideshows.

It seems weird to go “he joked about someone having sex with their grandson, so it’s natural that he beat his girlfriend.” By that logic, wouldn’t it be more natural for him to have sex with his grandson?

Have you seen that ad that asks if you want to torture a prisoner or pat her head? Someone actually played the game, and you’re forcing convicts to fight monsters, but you don’t torture them. (No word on whether you pat their heads.)

This reminds me of how Persona 3 has time management because it reminds you t0 do the most you can with your limited time on Earth, and then 4 and 5 have time management because 3 did.

I’ve seen references to a game where a banana called Pedro tells you to kill people. Is that a stoned game?

Man, Chorus is weird. You’re some kind of Space Buddhist fighting other, evil Space Buddhists who’ve been corrupted by the dark side, only it’s more of a Buddhist dark side.

I just want my pseudo-Europe to include some pseudo-Moors for once.

I don’t trust Scarlet Hollow. It’s a lot easier to make tons of choices for chapter 1 than to provide meaningful consequences for those choices all the way through chapter 7.

“You should have picked Mercy,

I think Hollow Knight counts for horror. I certainly freaked the hell out when I met the living beehives who didn’t even understand what had happened to their bodies.

And Kanye thought Spike Lee was the one who was gonna kill him.

I loved Endeavor, a platform game where you’re a lost dwarf trying to return home.

I realize this is a rude thing to say, but I don’t have a clear sense of how much Sisi Jiang knows about Japanese culture. I mean, I can’t necessarily speak of French or Dutch culture.
