Semi-random post, but sometimes when I'm playing older games I see some things that make me wonder "imagine what would happen if this was in a modern game". Stuff like this:



It's from Baldur's Gate.

Fine, I'll bite - this is what that would look like "in a modern game":

It's from Baldur's Gate.

That the main character can question the logic of the statement seems already a step further than what you get in Veilguard. Also wonder if there are different dialogue options depending on the player characters gender.

All the "oh man, this would be called woke today" is pretty flimsy to begin with. 
Like if games were always "woke" then why would you even need consultancy companies? 
Then there's also the simple fact that 99% of the time it turns out the old product actually wasn't woke enough and they need to remove or adjust content when it's re-released. 
Hell, even the avatar live action remake couldn't handle the complexities of a Nickelodeon show

[karambollostpassword]

late as hell, but that indonesian guy with the affair from the few pages back? he had to be banned from the Marvel Snap OT (or regularly banned) because he was having suicidal meltdowns over being so bad at the game

blowing up your life because of an affair with a 10/10 hottie is understandable, imagine doing the same for someone that cant handle a children card game

so I think this IS the way it would be written in a modern game, meaning it's not in the original

Beamdog had done a "sensitivity pass" over the game and added/changed various things

the Baldur's Gate wiki makes no mention of this second dialogue line about "don't we need men to survive," which is probably just an opportunity for her to criticize the player and spread feminist ideals

the quest is straightforward, she asks you to rescue a nymph and all you can do is agree

https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Lady_Hannah

reminder that Beamdog was in hot water for their modern BG expansion Siege of Dragonspear where they put in a trans character who immediately outs herself to the party, and trans people were freaking out because the whole point of being trans is to be stealth and nobody ever realizes you're actually trans, you would never just tell strangers

major props to him for taking it in stride and good humor instead of doing what nepenthe or dubs would do in the same situation

No option to do penance push-ups either. Shocking.

I'll be honest, Tik Tok and possibly Reddit (maybe now BlueSky?) feel like some of the last sources for potentially reliable information. Not that there isn't astroturfing or censorship there, but traditional media outlets feel completely bought at this point.

Pretty weak that they didn't print that comic tbh.

I feel like the most you could do is leave an anonymous tip like "hey if you have any cold cases involving missing women, maybe poke around this old gas station by the river".

I think most you can do is anonymous Reddit post using the phone number so it shows up on google searches.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills seeing comments like these. The dude didn't want to give out all his personal information to meet up for what was presumably casual sex, the OP then doxxed him and considered reporting him to the police (???) and now you want OP to use the perfectly innocuous information gained by said doxxing to potentially ruin his life?

What. The. Fuck.

One of the metrics these soulless corporations use is online engagement, and chuds absolutely control the narrative there for anything that is not a smash hit blockbuster. In fact legitimate criticism just adds fuel to the same fire they stoke whenever anything is not bad to middling.

Exactly.

It doesn't matter if your "Captain Marvel bad" video covers only actual criticisim, it's existence will make the algorithm feed chud "DISNEY WOKE? *Brie Larson Crying Face* EPIC FAIL!" videos to anyone looking for criticism of a film.
