I guess he was the White Power Ranger all along, huh.

If there’s one thing that’s good at moving forward it’s a juggernaut.

No, what SBI said is that companies come to them for an extra polish, as well as consultation for their already existing characters to see if they read properly (this even includes a finnish company like Remedy checking that their white male american character consistently comes across as intended)

Saga being a Black woman is perfectly integrated into the story and even adds to the story during an early investigation scene.

You can still absolutely do that, this article just completely misunderstood what Miyazaki said. The dlc is going to have a new leveling element specific to it, on top of the existing one. If you wanna grind untill you are powerful enough to make it through you absolutely can, you just have to do it in the dlc area.

Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth.

Another week, another comment from Beefsquatch reminding saying bring back the guillotine. Late stage capitalism is the enemy and shareholders are the cancer 

100%. I work for a fortune 500, and it is the same cycle every time. Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth. When you lay off all of these people, it frees up reporting cash for shareholders to see. Which means when they actually do have growth, they will need to re-hire anyways and have massive…

Over 6000 layoffs in the video game industry, but how many people have been laid off in the Tech Industry altogether from 2023-present? The fact that companies can just throw their workers away while claiming record profits is ugly capitalism at its finest, but the sheer unchecked accountability for companies to…

Screw the meta.......but they really need to do a balance patch when they can because there are a LOT of weapons that don’t feel like you’re getting your worth out of them.

I thought there were too many remakes/remasters/ports. Weird how people still only want those.

It’s only a generation old! It’s still playable! It still looks great!

Hey! The weapons -are- kinda customizable.

The homophobia is absolutely brutal, and its a genre that still hews slavishly to the male gaze.

So like, as I have grown in the years since first playing Persona 5, not only is the absence and hostility towards queerness, but the idea that as a male protagonist I just have this buffet of women at my beck and call and…

To be fair, gay tetris sounds pretty fun. 

Yeah God of War Ragnarok did these painted on runes that felt like they fit the world, even if it did leave you wondering who painted them. Not every developer can swing it, but I’d also be down if the accessibility options made these things more or less apparent. 

I’m a little divided over the topic... I’d personally prefer something that’s more contextually appropriate than just yellow paint anywhere anytime. This is a rock wall, you could make the path apparent by having different types of rock stand out (color, sheen, shape) and that would be good for me.

Look, I’m a designer - I’ve been building levels and encounters in games for 20 years - and on this topic of outrage I know three things are absolutely certain:

1. The VAST majority of people complaining about yellow paint are fragile males who crumple at the thought that a designer put that paint there specifically for…

for better or worse, yellow in video games now is an affordance for interactivity. everyone who has played a couple AAA games from the past few years knows exactly what it means. could developers come up with a more subtle, on-theme indicator of interactivity for each game? absolutely. but, they then will have to deal…

Well, I’d rather they pass on me than feed an excuse that is used to kill us, obviously I’m not going to deny much needed good representation, but I wouldn’t call that a step backwards to stop pouring gasoline on the fire, either.
