Likewise! I remember when it leaked around 2017ish and I lost my entire mind over the concept. Now we’re getting closer and closer to release date and its tinged with all the grossness in the back of my mind. Might buy a used copy a few years down the line. 

Rent or buy secondhand, if that helps. Or just pirate it outright, though I saw people saying it might take a beefy PC to run properly. You’re the one who’d know what you’d be okay with, but just know your options.

I have wanted a truly full, immersive Hogwarts-based game for over two decades now, and have literally dreamed about it in that time. It absolutely kills me that it’s finally coming out, and that I cannot in good conscience buy it and subsidize rowling’s bigotry.

Hogwarts Legacy takes place roughly a hundred years before the books, which might explain the seemingly blase attitude of the in-universe characters to child torture

It’s really interesting seeing creative types come to grips with generative AI and learning algorithms and their output. It’s the impact of open source images.

I also would like to know and think is an important piece to all of this.

The fact that people are upset that they actually did something that in reality favors the consumer pretty much proves that these mechanics are preying upon addiction.

I consider them lite-gamers or casual gamers

A sidebar question: are mobile players considered gamers?

Something else radioactive? Molesting your children.

gifted and beautiful, but sexually she was radioactive

I think it has been reported, but she herself has never confirmed the diagnosis.

I don’t know about Britney but Melania for sure had body doubles, no question.

It’s just really weird. Fraser has been obese. The writer has been heavy, we don’t know how heavy but I’m guessing a lot worse than merely “overweight”. Aronofsky isn’t either but I don’t think, as a fat person, that being fat is hard to comprehend, and I don’t think “fat-positive” stuff is helpful when it’s about…

And they sure as hell didn’t need Fraser or any other actor pounding milkshakes to gain weight.

But I’m perfectly happy if we never make another movie about some fat fuck. 

Agreed. For the wrong reasons or not, there are just not a lot of skilled actors who fit the actual body type depicted.

It’s not like Fraiser was a skinny guy when he made it, he was husky to say the least. The movie did not need to hire a 600 pound person for the movie.
