Are you actually serious? This has got to be like, satire or something right?

I should have been more clear.

You sound like the kind of motherfucker who gets (really, extremely) upset when things you like get popular.

Careful, now. Last time I mentioned in passing that I was purposefully not buying Ubisofts products around here, I had a little capital G Gamer start feeling some kind of way about how I spent my money.

July 2021 was the kind of “big mood” I wasn’t quite ready for today.

Yes, I was. But I see each site in the Gawkerverse quite differently. They all have their own cultures and standards, which are always fluid. Gawker was always a rag, imo, for example, but how much of one it was fluctuated quite a bit.

It is hard to talk about when I don’t want to call anyone out by name, because I don’t think this is a big enough deal to shit on people over it, especially when some of the writers I respect quite a bit, I just strongly disagree with their takes on this one thing. Even the one writer who’s take I ALWAYS disagree with…

I suggest playing the demo. It’s small and short, playtime literally in the minutes, but tells you exactly what kind of game you’re in for.

I wasn’t saying it was the most egregious example, just how it feels to me. The existence of something more blatant doesn’t invalidate my point. Plus, I don’t see Fahey getting defensive and shitty in the comments like I saw of one writer of an Immortal article do.

Every positively-spun article Kotaku writers have written about this game have felt like an addict defensively scrambling to justify their actions. The lack of self-awareness is... not something I expected. All of them are missing the forest for the trees.

My guy, the game has been in dev for twenty fucking years. This, Everquest, and UnReal World are the oldest actively developed games I know of. It’s been a while since I actively followed DF development, but they’ve always been -very very- open that DF is a game that will ALWAYS be in Dev Hell. It will never be…

The purpose of the Geth was to serve the Quarians, but that’s not how they end in the series. And again, this depends on shit like their social structure and hierarchy but, if your assumption is correct, why would an individual Reaper voice concerns to the group until they had figured out a solution? All it’d take is…

We don’t know hardly anything about the social structure and hierarchy of the Reapers, the reasons each individual Reaper goes along with the plan, anything like that. Assuming they’re all 100% on board, evil, whatever, would be the same mistake as basing assumptions off of ME1's Geth. Also, it’s not controlling and…

You’re telling me you think enslaving a race of people (who are actually made up of several races) is less bad than making everyone glow slightly green?

All four decisions are Shepard exerting their will on unconsenting sentients. When enslavement and genocide are the two other options...

Do not buy any of the Legacy of Kain games on Steam. I don’t know how it is on other platforms, but the Steam versions of each game have a large chance to be unplayable for you. Control issues, crashes, graphics bugs galore.

Psssst.

I mean, it’s not really that bad an idea. From did it in Bloodborne, albeit slightly differently.

It is. She sleeps while the camera is tracking her. Restroom breaks are the only time it’s not.

Idol culture is toxic as hell and those companies are absolutely exploitative, one of the reasons I didn’t watch vtubers for a long time. Still don’t watch eastern corporate vtubers despite most of them being quite talented.
