Also a strong argument against the theory that we all live in a Matrix-style simulation.

It reminds me of 15-year-old me starting modding for Thief on DromEd and thinking he’s going to revolutionize the modding scene by painstakingly building every single brick as a game object instead of using make-believe textures.

Flower on PS3 had better grass than this

I think this response sums things up pretty well.

Well, plasma or acid arrows.

If you somehow missed Beta literally spelling it out that no, the Zenith did NOT send the signal, then I’m hesitant to really take any opinion in this article seriously.

Really don’t get the criticisms of the story of Forbidden West here as though somehow it’s a sudden leap from Zero Dawn when almost all of it is set up in Zero Dawn (what happened to the Odyssey, what was the signal that turned GAIA into rogue AIs, what is Sylens trying to obtain from HADES), or the idea somehow this…

Thank you for saying it because I was coming here to post exactly this. Like, yeah, the game goes buckwild - but a lot of the things that had confusion expressed about them in this chat were just like . . answered directly by the game. And not buried in lore and journal entries either - like outright stated in major…

Aren’t they a bunch of friends who played DnD together anyway? Like... ‘They should hire a PoC’ is literally asking them to have a ‘token black friend’.

The problem with talking about “cast members” is that...they aren’t. From its beginning, the show has been just a group of friends getting together every week to play a game. They can certainly bring plenty of guests on, but they can no more recast in pursuit of diversity than one could “recast” half their group of…

This is getting absolutely absurd. I’m a diehard leftist, and every single of these knee jerk reactionary articles makes us all look bad. This is exactly what the right wingers in our country think we are, and as whole, articles like this only serve to parody ourselves.

The term “colonizer” and “colonialist” is being…

You write, “If someone is truly invested in forward progress, this kind of criticism should be welcomed and encouraged.” But this is just a trap. You’re basically saying that anyone who disagrees with an accusation that they were racially insensitive must be wrong, since by definition a person who is “invested in…

I’m glad most of the readers here see this article as the ingenuine click bait that it is. Really wish this wasn’t the only videogame site that hasn’t been blocked by my work firewall.

Yeah but there is no better that they can do. According to the author, the original cast is fundamentally incapable of doing right by any setting that isn’t traditional ‘European’ fantasy.

Yup, the whole “Curse them if they do. Curse them if they don’t”.

A bunch of white people start streaming their home game 5 years ago, become wildly popular, and now they’re not allowed to do anything that anyone else playing D&D are allowed to do ever again.

Maybe they thought that dressing up in traditional attire of cultures that aren’t their own as white people would’ve been 10x worse.

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

I do miss Icons. That was a great docuseries.

Well, glad I am not the only one who had issues with this. I ordered one because I love the idea of a more “socially acceptable” respirator style mask with affordable, replaceable filters. I was really excited when I finally got my order to go through, and then extremely disappointed when I actually got it. I have…
