Hopefully now, you can escape a ban for misgendering Ezra Miller if you DM a video of yourself doing 10 push-ups to Plagiarize.

I agree that lots of lefties are histrionic and dumb, but Trump wasn't a business-as-usual president.

As far as I am aware, SkillUp specifically appeared consistently on the gamergate/alt right YT channel Laymen Gaming (Which has since ended, I believe), so his content is banned here, and any content he makes involving progressive games should be given the side-eye, no matter how well made it seems to be.

oh word? veilguard is a progressive game? not one of those normal mass market games, it's progressive, you can tell because it was marketed as such and all

Yes, let this dude in charge of the nukes one more time, now with more sycophants.

The Presidency requires clarity in judgement, decisiveness, and calm under pressure that few have a natural ability to manage, or the life experience to successfully undertake. It is a job where decisions are made that routinely involve American lives – some urgently but not without thought. The job requires sober analysis of frightening scenarios, and the instinct to lead with resolve.

For me, for the future of our country, to meet enormous challenges, and for the proven policy accomplishments above, I believe we are best served by voting for
@realDonaldTrump

Gay Autistic Trans Woman.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

I liked the previous Dragon Age games so I'll most likely enjoy this one. The pronoun stuff is dumb I agree, but it's not directly affecting the entire story so it's a mountain out of a molehill situation for me. Reminds me of the pronoun thing with Starfield last year as well, was dumb as fuck to get mad over it.

At least Xenoblade Chronicles X is getting remastered and hopefully a few more remasters will be announced soon. I'm more into those nowadays and games that aren't as expensive but offer a ton of value.

Knowing me, I'll probably end up getting Dustborn like an idiot down the line to see if it's actually that bad

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

When it's like $5, so I don't totally waste my money. It'll probably be that cheap within a year.

Also fuck Laura. She's an idiot. Being trans, autistic and "gay" isn't your entire personality. I get annoyed when people get diagnosed with something and make it their entire personality. Like I'm on the spectrum and I honestly forget I am 99% of the time as it's not what defines me entirely.

[Jansen]

Seems like being autistic is a prerequisite to being trans

[AnnoyedCanadian]

Seems like being autistic is a prerequisite to being trans

The trans people I know in real life aren't. So it's probably for the ones who are terminally online, don't try to pass, act like they always have and are insufferable cunts. Self diagnosed too probably. I realize getting a diagnosis for being autistic is not the easiest thing but I was clinically diagnosed so I have a bone to pick with self diagnosed people.

One of my partners and I sent in our ballots earlier in Nebraska (not in Omaha unfortunately), so our 2+ for Kamala won't make any difference but we did vote for Osborn though! Also managed to get my partner's mom (who live in Arizona, she's in her late 70s) to vote for the very first time, going for Kamala! So we did our part. Our lives are on stake especially as we're gay and trans!

Anyways, going to say my feelings on the 2024 election, I don't think the election will be as close as most people are making it out to be and that Kamala's win will be clear compared to 2020 election between Biden and Trump. We should not be using polls as a predictor on election and that it have been wrong in past elections more often than people would like to admit to.

Yes, Trump and his MAGA loyalists are not going down without a fight so we'll see them get frivolous with lawsuits regarding the election that will continue til December at least, maybe even into January but they're not going to succeed. We just might have to be on our edge of the seats for little longer due to that but I'm confident that Kamala will win, and they're all prepared for this to happen as well.

So yeah we'll find out what happens in over a week now, hopefully that's the case.

Been catching up to this very page and I did not expect some people to be freaking out over Biden's comment when it's not even going to do anything. Frankly, it's pretty offensive to me as a non-white person reading that because it's being compared to orange man's racist and nazi MSG rally.

That being said, Kamala's closing speech earlier is marvelous! It's just making me more confident that she'll be the clear winner, and that election is not going to be as close As most people are making it out to be (but we'll see soon enough). Again, polls shouldn't used as a predictor (being treated more like an estimate) for an election.

Looks like burka thread is gonna demand this site to get on the ban list

https://www.psypost.org/new-research-on-female-video-game-characters-uncovers-a-surprising-twist/

The researchers conducted two controlled experiments to investigate how different design elements influence perceptions of female video game characters. Each experiment used unique character designs created in the fighting game SOULCALIBUR VI, providing participants with a range of female characters that varied systematically in their sexualization and strength cues.

Oh, we know who they're talking about

“That said, I was surprised to see that in our first study women still selected the most sexualized character when asked which character they would choose to play. It’s important to remember that this character was also rated as the most feminine, so it’s possible that women were just selecting the character they most identified with.”

“However, this finding highlight why this research is so important,” Lynch continued. “If women are conflating sexual appeal with femininity, then can they disassociate those two concepts? And, if entertainment media like video games continue to portray female characters by emphasizing sex appeal, how does that shape expectations of women and women’s value in society?”

Yeah sure, it's videogames doing that. That's why every female popstar has her tits and ass out (no complaints here).

Out of touch with newer Soul Calibur games, but boy do I remember Soul Calibur 4 being a lot. Taki’s skin tight outfit had her nipples protruding, like Barney Frank. Sophitia, who wore some armor in previous games, just has on a negligee barely containing her honkers. Ivy…probably about the same as other games.

[JoeBoy101]

Watched that Skillup review and goddamn, look how they massacred my boy.

I love ERA going bananas at it, castigating it, when the worst he said along the lines of DEI bullshit was “every interaction sounds like HR is in the room”. 

Nothing else. And none of them try to repudiate anything he’s saying, instead just trying to burn him as a heretic.

Sorry, that review was comprehensive, detailed, and killed the last dying embers of interest I had in that game.

I can’t stand Andromeda because it also had that same shit dialogue and writing, and I just can’t muddle through it again.

I dunno, if the game is good, the pronoun stuff won’t bother me at all. Krem was likable in Inquisition and if the games good, who cares?

What I’m concerned about is the ‘game being good’ part. Because I haven’t seen a thing yet to convince me of it from the High School Drama Club dialogue, to the overwrought environments, to the questionable gameplay.

Then we have the game's beta failure being a spectator sport via steam concurrent numbers just after, which was essentially the start gun for YouTuber circlejerks, hate watching and chuds supremacy - the game was largely ignored before that, which is bad in its own right.

I'm still so salty about this, not really with Sony shutting them down, but more the gaming community relishing the situation for the lols and how often I hear people say it's about the gameplay but are ready to kill a game because of one or two character models (nobody talks about Kyps because she's the GOAT) without uttering a word about gameplay. The same types bitch and moan about yearly COD or a lack of innovation but it's just yap in the end.

Always framing it in good guys (us) vs bad guys, except in this case, Concord had 1/3 the players than that thread has posts in it.  And yet, they're not pointing the fingers at each other.  It's still "the chuds."

I've gotten a couple comments on the other place that "game journalists are all woke and you know it" and I think the phenomenon they are actually observing is just that people with hard-right views are generally unpleasant to be around so of course normal people don't want to work with them.

"Why aren't there more big fuckin' dickheads in games media??"

I dunno man.

You will probably not be hired at a major outlet if you are an outspoken bigot. This isn't some huge secret.

If you want to participate in the grown-up world you have to act like a grown-up. I don't know what to tell you. Someone should have impressed this on you at some point.

Don't understand how so many of these AAA games get high scores with so poor/mediocre writing/dialogue/voice acting. 

I get some players are more gameplay focused, but we're talking about story heavy videogames. It's in the package.

User banned (1 week): inflammatory insinuations

Every minority is in some kind of danger if Trump wins. As for muslims, remember that guy had a ban and that was in a time where he had checks and balance. I am sure Miller and the other nazis in his future cabinet are salivating at the possibilities.

The guy thinks Biden is too hard on Bibi. He is using "palestinian" as an insult. Only thing he would need is some event on US soil, like a terrorist attack, to blame it on minorities he doesn't like.

And with his rhetoric, Trump won't even need law enforcement or the military to accomplish this. You'll have right wing fanatics terrorizing minorities, especially Arab and Muslim. See above, where the rich white business owner in Ohio is receiving death threats. Now imagine he's brown. Somebody is likely to make good on those threats.

I seriously hope you guys folks are at least pirating these sort of games before you buy. I know gamers have comically low standards, but surely there are better ways to spend your money than blindly on things you don't even know you will enjoy at all.
