We paid to experience the story that we love.

Hell yeah, my dude is gonna be pretty af.

The fact that you relegate this to just being about capitalism, shows me you simply do not care. And as a black male grateful for what the civil rights movement affords me today, that sentiment saddens me. You’re a low key bigot but you use “it’s pandering and about making a dollar” as your shield and excuse. Yes sir…

If you don’t have a problem with lack of representation in video games, no one can “argue you” into caring about it. There are only about a thousand studies to back up how important representation in media is to the emotional and mental health of people from marginalized groups. If you haven’t internalized that…

Thats insane and indicitive of an oblivious person

Excellent question. If only someone might patiently explain it to you in roughly 2,100 words or so.

If only...

Everything you’re saying is true. But the people who need to hear it just fuuuuuuuuuuuucking refuse. I’ve tried all kinds of approaches to talking w/ other commenters here about gender or race-bias in gaming: listening first; keeping things hyper-rational and citing data; letting things get emotional and appealing to…

Gaming got popular, and a subset of people who built their identity around gaming being non-popular are hostile of anything that gives it wider appeal.

It’s all exhausting. Suddenly if a dev even includes women or something, then the Gamers™ lose their shit and call it SJW propaganda or pandering and run to their youtubers to confirm their bullshit. It’s become a 3-month cycle, with the same arguments being presented on both sides.

I literally just dismissed one. There’s no end to their mewling about “but what about the source material?!?1" The source material didn’t have singing crustaceans or musical numbers in it, but I don’t see these lame fucks complaining about that 🙄 They need to just admit that they’re mad that a Black woman got a great…

When you think of the Carribean, you don’t think of white people, so these racists should get a history lesson.

Chrono Trigger will always and forever be my #1.

I’ve never had the bartender knock my drink on the floor and try to steal my buffalo wings....

Filled with smoke?? Are you in Florida?

This ain’t no bar, looks like a coffee shop.

Hahaha, there is something super satisfying about spending 4 hours taking down a Lynel with bombs.

i recently completed the story and some side quests but even while the weapon breaking mechanic becomes less of a thing the more you play, it’s at its most punishing in the early game which is kind of the worst way to get people used to the game. The reason it eventually becomes less of a big deal is that as you grow…

Museums are the best way to test someone. I personally like the Mutter museum in Philly as a good ‘How’s this whole thing gonna go’ test. It’s a medical history museum with everything from a wall of human skulls to draws full of wild things that people ate. If you don’t think that’s neat as hell I’m not sure what…

I mean, if you can do 100 pushups/situps/squats and a 10k run then you’re already in pretty damn good shape.

Because of educational requirements, and the ubiquity of American culture even in the Far East, quite a large number of Japanese citizens speak passable English. One of the most poignant facts about Japan actually. Some older people know it quite well, but will refuse to answer in English, simply because of the…
