It's depressing to see those who try to turn all threads of this game into ban bait and get mad when they don't get any response from people who excited about the game.

I hope this circulation end when the full game comes out.

Also, only 1 day left for the demo 🤘🏻

Some mod is really, really, really mad about Stellar Blade.

Wrong. It's actually lots of mods, because they have a committee of mods or whatever the fuck to decide every single ban.

The vegetables are arguing about washing themselves again. No surprise but then Nep appears -

Part of the lack of nuance is a cultural backlash. Plenty of minorities on this forum who grew up with daily bathing routines due to the pervasive belief that white people found us smelly and disgusting.

So now we see largely white folks going like "I don't shower for a few days, don't wash my hands after shitting, and also walk around the city streets barefoot" and all other manner of tomfoolery, and we're not supposed to clown the irony?

You all will live with a lack of nuance

Is there anything that exists she doesn't use as an excuse to spread her racist views?

Nep's life will always suck because she always blames others for her problems. It's why she loves communism. It's a philosophy built around blaming others for your problems.

I'm assuming this retard is raging over the extra boob covering on the Stellar Blade outfit, right? 

What a fucking idiot. 

Another reminder that if you care either way about this culture war bullshit outside of making fun of people who take vidya too seriously, you're a fucking moron and should probably kill yourself.

In the case of Stellar Blade it seems so oddly specific what was kept and what was censored (not just in terms of cleavage but also blood and gore) that it seems like they just had to skate around some age rating thing in Germany or something so they could sell the same version of the game everywhere.

It reminds me a bit of the Top Gun jacket controversy with the flag of Taiwan removed in the trailer, which they later restored as the film wouldn't be released in China.

With all that said, Aspyr restored or is restoring the removed Lara Croft posters from Tomb Raider II in a patch after the public outcry they were removed post release.
There have also been patches for Unicorn Overlord to restore the original translation and remove the 'localization' after players pointed out the script had been altered a lot.

yeah this is pretty much always meaningless, could be as simple as a technicality like sony said they wanted it changed, and then the devs were the ones who actually made the changes

Is this something Nepenthe's mom told her to get to her take a bath everyday?

I loved it a LOT. Adored the tone of the movie. And so glad it actually acknowledged the fucked up shit that happened to innocents in Salem. As an actual witch, I hate how much it's romanticized.

 The thing everyone universally condemns and all popular media about it condemns for this very reason?

[benji]

Also normally I wouldn't become so anal about language choices but with the "as an actual witch" disclaimer (plus this being the same staff member who got upset about people mocking astrology) I'm going to assume there's some kind of position involved here where they think there weren't only innocents in all historical witch trials.

1. Witch hunt is literally short hand for an unfair prosecution of innocents. How is that romanticized?

2. If you're an actual Witch, does this mean you would not have been innocent

[Hap Shaughnessy]

"actual witch"

[Steven Snell]

Pronouns: They/He/She

A dude for sure. But honestly how messed up and just a total freak must you be to go by all those pronouns lol.

[benji]

Wait, I figured it out. They want to use the witch trials as an example of their people being persecuted. The focus on the "innocents" downplays that horrific crime of suppressing witches.

[Boredfrom]

Still dumb because a bunch of those idiots are turning on shift up.

Again, this is not the first time shift up has deal with this kind of bitching. My impression is that, if they could, they would totally roll back this changes, but they are also not going to burn bridges with Sony because is not worth it just to appease a bunch of idiots that cannot take a win. 


If Mark Kern is so desperate for 3D boobies, he can buy Honey Select 2 on steam and make a Eve look alike.

[benji]

The witch trials are actually a great example of why "just asking questions" is super important. The higher legal officials weren't skeptical about the existence of witchcraft but they were skeptical about the accusers claims about what was evidence of witchcraft, especially because it was incoherent and contradictory and often clearly based in personal dislike. That's what, alongside a related insistence on due process, wound up ending them.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Mark Kern really has a constant need for attention. All of this is pathetic.

So I checked up on Shreds. Got surprised because I thought she found a girlfriend!

But alas, it was just a shreds makeover! You naughty girl ...looking more beautiful than ever. Can't quite put my finger on what changed

I'm actually a pagan who follows the Greek pantheon! And I LOVE all of the POC representation in the game, and the way their personalities are written. And you can still tell the writers did tons of research.

If you're interested, the webcomic "Lore Olympus" does some really interesting stuff with the Greek gods as well. However TW: Rape & Abuse, despite that its still very heartwarming and funny.

[Potato]

Honestly, calling yourself a witch in 2024 just screams cultural appropriation to me. 

Much like these white American women stole yoga from the Indians and exploited it for profit, they are stealing witchcraft from poor women in small European villages for the same purpose.

Ahhh, Greek Pantheon! 

Cultural appropriation!!! Cultural appropriation!!! Keep your damn filthy yank hands off my culture you appropriator!!!

[benji]

I also feel the need to point out that if witchcraft were real that putting hexes and curses on people should pretty clearly be criminal. (And considering the modern regulatory state progressives demand, all of witchcraft should be highly regulated by the state.)
