Now you want to play a game where I name a title, and you shoot it down for not being gay enough. By your standards Celeste doesn’t have a queer protagonist, despite the game’s creator explicitly stating so.

I’ve only played half of those games, and of the half I have played only two stick out for having a relationship mentioned at all. One of them I’ve never even heard of, Duke Nukem hasn’t been relevant since the 90s except as a meme, and the latest Mario game gives you several blank slate characters to choose from.…

“The vast majority of games force you to play as straight characters”

This is equally true: “Some games let you choose to be straight but very few require that you be straight.”

Because I don’t see a meaningful difference.

I’ma just paste your ORIGINAL POSITION: “publishers avoid LGBTQ protagonists. Losing 40% your potential revenue isn’t an appealing prospect, especially with AAA”

Go check what AAA game was Game of the Year in 2023 and tell me again that AAA games need to be more conservative.

I agree. In case it wasn’t clear, I was using “super gay” as a term of endearment.

I did read your full comment. I didn’t go back and reread the entire conversation. Sorry I missed a single sentence buried at the end of the very first post. Sheesh.

Name checks out.

I hope they finally make the Head of Vecna artifact canon.

For BG3 the horniness has been a big part of its word-of-mouth spread, partially due to a bug that lowered the thresholds to romance party members, which made it seem like everyone was down to fuck at all times.

Games like Hades, Baldur’s Gate 3, Celeste, or The Sims don’t seem to lose out on revenue with LGBTQ protagonists.

The issue isn’t that there’s bird shit on a cliff, it’s that your character is INTENTIONALLY AIMING for the bird shit when climbing, and only climbing on it.

That’s worse than yellow. Yellow is clearly something artificial that the developers added. White looks like bird shit.

On top of that, red is a terrible color to draw attention to things when around 4% of people are colorblind.

Airplane!s

“I also like Hulk 2003 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, so you should also take my opinion with a grain of salt”

Only one of the movies you listed is as bad as Thor 2, and you missed the one that is worse: Eternals.

I think you’re right. It’s not that the movies are worse, it’s that they’re too same-y.
