I really dislike the articles of Rift in Sankaku Complex, especially since he posts tweets of people actually saying the hate and anger of issues. But at least I know where the smoke is coming from. Sorry miss Yow, but in this particular subject, maybe its just you?

You see by putting in that proviso they get to sweep that interpretation of their article to the side as illegitimate. I don’t make the rules, but that’s how they work.  This allows them to then proceed to engage in the overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation, because at the end of the day that’s much easier than…

Yikes

This is the article that will cause me to finally unsubscribe from Kotaku. What an absolute load of shit.

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

No one is ‘so mad’, it’s just like 20 people on Twitter. I’ve seen just as many people be happy to be represented and feel seen by the campaign.

In the end...it really is just Dungeons and Dragons.  It has inspirations from other cultures...sure.  It also has dragons and talking robots and people who can shoot fire from their hands.  Why doesn’t the author make the same complaint of Wizards of the Coast themselves?

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

It’s Dungeons and Dragons.

I’ll be back when someone posts the list.  I don’t come to a BLOG to watch videos.

Really? You didn’t put the better Adam Sandler football movie on the list?

I do think “disease may kill me but most people survive” and “disease turns me into a fucking ravenous zombie that has taken over the majority of the world” might inspire more urgency among the anti-vaxxers. Some of them probably still wouldn’t take it though, lol.

The game doesn’t say that, though.

Imagine if you had paid into the Star Citizen Kickstarter at 50!

That’s the problem. There may be a group of people who are OK with Luke just missing the point of his own films. But honestly, a lot of us just aren’t. It feels like a writers cheap convenience to tell the story they want to tell. The cheapness of it is the problem (for us).

Last year’s “Boss Level” was not half bad...

In theory they could act as a bargaining chip - You take the C0D, we take the Destiny - but given that these deals are in the work months in advance it’s not like you can just revenge buy something.

Find the Halo, win the war? Did Hollywood decide to change the story that already exists with deep lore? What’s with the human leading the Convenant?

I don’t understand why Cortana had to be live-action. they could have just lifted her character model from Halo 4 and animated her for the scenes that she’s in. instead we have this.....

Ask her if she knows what a Salmon ladder is, that might explain it.
