The aesthetic and concept are generic and dumb, yeah, and I'm assuming based on what was shown that it's unlikely to rise above that.

A new IP that was actually interesting wouldn't get this backlash. This is a super generic, played out steampunk game with really, really bad graphics. The fact it's steampunk alone sort of makes it seem dated and stupid to be honest.

It's a really stupid IP and it 's just a rehash of a zillion comic books and novels and even a few computer games. So it's the worst of both worlds. It's not a remake or sequel people want, but it's not a genuinely interesting new IP. It's just really stupid generic steampunk.

Wow. What an ugly game. And what a hackneyed and dated premise.

It's also worth noting that Zelda is associated with Nayru, goddess of Wisdom, whose colour is blue. So it's kinda silly that she's historically in purple and pink.

So this is a sequel to Wind Waker, right? Because the dude spent like half the video talking about Wind Waker, the art style resembles Wind Waker's shading more than Skyward Sword's painterly look, and Link's wearing the same blue tunic you start Wind Waker in.

He's even wearing his pajamas.

Most jobs in Sims 3 have a social requirement, but it's one that makes sense. Your relationship with your boss and co-workers (or in some cases, just one key co-worker) for instance. You also choose *how* you're working in 3, which has an effect on your performance, and there's a couple social work modes that fill the…

The Sims 3 sold more than five times as many copies as the last Dragon Age game, despite being handicapped by being PC-only. It also sold millions upon millions of expansion packs.

Can't ruin something that was never good.

Oh great. Another bioware game. I can't wait for poor core gameplay and collecting a zillion fucking codex entries because Bioware cannot into exposition.

Wow. Scooped by This American Life. How embarrassing for you.

He probably doesn't have one of "his own". He's got representation though, in part because he owns Slenderman and there are a lot of for-profit projects that use his intellectual property, and whoever's representing him's probably got someone.

Well, Obsidian has had shitloads of Mormons in one of their games. I doubt that jews would be off the table.

Cicada's almost definitely not MI6. They actually used to recruit analysts that way, but it didn't really bring in a higher caliber of applicants, and some of the ones that they *did* get were... not great.

Fun Fact! Bob Hare once told a journalist that the PCL-R low-balled the number of psychopaths in the general population because it relies in part on records of chronic criminality, which means that the young and the wealthy have lower scores than they otherwise would have.

I think counter-messaging is a good tactic as well. Make it clear that, ultimately, he's still pathetic.

He was sick. I think these men are sick. That doesn't make their misogyny disappear in a puff of sparkles and unicorn farts. They're dangerous misogynists and that does not just spring, fully formed, from the chasm. It comes from the culture around them.

I think the impulse to just say "Mental Illness!" any ignore all the other factors (the availability of firearms, the echo-chamber effect of these toxic online communities, and of course, the deeply ingrained cultural misogyny) comes from ignorance about mental illness.

I bought a grenade launcher and it still counted as completed? I think the goal is supposed to be "buy a weapon" but has outdated text, or something.
