Why wouldn’t Stellar Blade be talked about a month from now? More desperation that the game won’t sell well, I see 

Sorry, you chuds have lost. Nobody cares about your obsession. Stop trying to make fetch happen.

[BIONIC]

SIE isn't going to treat Eve like a first party character, that's not going to happen. She doesn't belong to them. Stellar Blade is not going to have an impact outside of this year, which is being generous of if the game even is talked about much in a month.

A Stellar Blade GAAS project is a different story, but even then there will be limits to how it will impact anything.

Legit i dont expect it to be talked about when it releases beside some stupid comments about how it got "robbed" when GOTY talks happen at the end of the year (there is no way it will ever be considered), and of course when any sales numbers appear and grifters try to make stupid tweets and videos claiming the "woke has begun to be destroyed" or some shit

Oh, so now it's already irrelevant and the last month plus of bitching about how it was going to set back women's rights globally was for nothing.

By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

Really surprised that the company with the C-suite that took absolutely no responsibility for that 8kun AMA is also not taking any responsibility for their entire enterprise going belly up.

I like how the focus is on the vague allegations and fears of antisemitism from a minority of bad actors rather than the fact that the administration is siccing the fucking NYPD on peacefully protesting students, many of whom are themselves Jewish and standing against genocide.

“Only take the Jews from my side seriously.”

The Left Before Oct 7: "If 1 Nazi is sitting at the table with 9 other people you have 10 Nazis"

The left since then: "it's a few bad apples (don't remember the "spoiling the whole bunch" part of the idiom)"

Going back and seeing The Bully Brigade have the audacity to say it’s cowardly to not call them out by name and try to play the fucking victim, knowing damn well what already happened in that very thread when people DID call them and their hypocrisy out by name is some truly insane shit.

Using this logic, everyone from earlier in the thread should be unbanned and allowed to call you out by name again. Sound good bullies? 

Also, you DO need to justify your hypocrisy after waltzing in earlier in the thread, being openly hostile towards everyone who disagrees with you, getting them banned and now turning around and loving the game? 

Bdubs, we know you read this board. And you have to be one of the most spineless fucking moderators in the history of the Internet. Any other board would have long ago banned every single one of them, took back control of the board and told anyone who had a problem with it to also take a hike. But you let these losers take your balls like the cuck it seems you love being.

That reminds me, these idiots are always screaming about how "unsustainable" the industry is and how horrible and broken it is that companies do layoffs "these days" and all this other ignorant shit. I found this in a magazine from 1996 the other day:

While lots of them have subsequently been banned, it’s fucking wild what was not considered directly worthy of a ban back then. Especially when even this iteration of Era had a reputation for being nutty.

It's crazy how the narrative on this did a complete 180° and there was like never any acknowledgement that it changed. Suddenly it was just a bigoted argument

bout to go ask chatgpt to write me 500 studies reaching some specific conclusion, yes all the people are made up and the testing didn't really happen and nothing was actually researched, listen a lot of studies have various flaws like these, but I don't know if you can argue with 500 of them, that's a lot, surely some of them have to be mostly accurate just by sheer chance

I don't think there's a mention of "gender" anywhere in this song

"sex" is a spectrum, your "sex" isn't binary

coupled with arguments from people like Bill Nye to say "um ackchewally very rarely people are born with strange conditions where they have 3 X chromosomes and 2 Y chromosomes so that means biology is as much a rainbow spectrum as gender"

as if those conditions weren't representative of something having gone wrong

people are born with one leg and we don't say legs are a spectrum

There were a bunch of articles in places like Scientific American and other such "skeptical" places around the same time that came out claiming sex was more complex than two sexes.

It's actually much older:

In a 1993 paper titled "The Five Sexes", Fausto-Sterling laid out a thought experiment considering an alternative model of gender containing five sexes: male, female, merm, ferm, and herm.[3] She later said that the paper "had intended to be provocative, but I had also written with tongue firmly in cheek".[4]

Fausto-Sterling has written two books intended for a general audience. The first of those books, Myths of Gender, was first published in 1985.[5] Her second book for the general public is Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality, published in 2000.[6][7] In the book she sets out to "convince readers of the need for theories that allow for a good deal of human variation and that integrate the analytical powers of the biological and the social into the systematic analysis of human development."[8]

"As in her now classic book, Myths of Gender, Fausto-Sterling draws on a wealth of scientific and medical information, along with social, anthropological and feminist theory, to make the case that "choosing which criteria to use in determining sex, and choosing to make the determination at all, are social decisions for which scientists can offer no absolute guidelines.""

These books were demolished at the time (hence her claim that it was "tongue-in-cheek" after being criticized even though she didn't really change her opinion after) but were rediscovered as scientific sources around the same time that Judith Butler's similarly older works were being elevated to a religious canon as the first half of the incorrect premises.

As gaming companies get more 'professional' and gaming is mainstream they just deal with the same shit any other 'mature' industry is dealing with.

- Innovation is risky, slow and non-existent
- Most money is made from established products and brands
- It's difficult to launch a new brand or product
- They've hit the limit of industry growth sooner than projected
- People that make games no longer do it to innovate but for the money and job security
- It's no longer the new 'cool' thing with lots of exciting opportunities, something else is (AI mostly)

Sakurai did a video recently on 1986:



Absolutely crazy year when some of the franchises that are still huge today were created and this pace of innovation continued well into the 90s and early 2000s.
Developers were upping their game for each new release and not complaining about how certain developers put in 'too much effort' or created 'unrealistic expectations'.
The sort of commentary we see today when soy 9 to 5 workers from Ubisoft, Sony and EA play Elden Ring or Tears of the Kingdom. 

There is a reason why South Korea still has that spark, their gaming industry is fairly new. This is Shift Ups first console game which just means they'll be more passionate about it than anyone at EA working on the 20th(?) Battlefield game.

If we look at the market today the big graphical enhancement (Ray Tracing) was released in 2018 and that boils down to 'better reflections'.
As far as hardware goes the new exciting form factor (Nintendo Switch) hit the market in 2017. 
Google shit the bed but maybe if Amazon and Apple had followed through on their console plans the market would've looked a lot different.
But lets face it, the gaming industry is a known quantity at this point and you aren't going to get some insane player like SEGA enter the ring willing to bankrupt themselves to develop Shenmue.

Like Tesla and EVs did for cars an outside force is needed to shake it up.

I hope they enjoy their DIY HRT and their Discord channels pushing it. Then when law enforcement finally cracks down Melody can be moved out of their parents house and into a jailcell.

this view of 5 sexes was fairly clearly dismantled in a relatively easy to understand deconstruction, I believe it was called the fermi paradox

I doubt there's more than a tiny handful of us on prescribed HRT that wouldn't go to DIY if our prescriptions get taken away.

I'd DIY in a heartbeat.

Don’t you work as IT In a Police Department?

I definitely don't have a cupboard full of prescribed HRT from skipping doses occasionally the last 10+ years, just in case I get problems getting my prescription filled.

There are studies on expired medication which show that tablets are still good 15 years after the expiry date, so I'm not too worried about the efficacy of stuff from 2014.

I certainly haven't got more than 180mg stock piled from when my dosing was changed and they wrote me a script for 2mg tablets shortly after giving me a three month refill of 1mg tablets.

Hasn't changed his name, still presenting as a male, somehow on a prescription for HRT and worried about having to bathub gin his placebos despite living in the most blue state.

I mean, there's fucking stupid and then there's plagiarize stupid.

Why not just take the 2014 drugs and keep the newer ones as reserve?

[benji]

Bill Nye used to be a transphobic chud, don't believe his lies:

[kaleidoscopium]

I wish the Costumes weren't a thing so bad, it would be so easy to get behind this developer otherwise.

Well, there's also the accusation that they fired women for having "feminist" views. So it goes beyond the costumes. (I'd say it's a big part of what makes the costumes and character design as problematic as they are.)

this show was an attempt at becoming relevant again and quickly fell on its face after this episode

at the time, Netflix also censored an episode from his old 90s show where they explained about the 50/50 chance of being a boy or girl, removing that segment

Isn’t it a crime to hold onto prescription medication that long after the expiration date?

[kaleidoscopium]

Isn’t it a crime to hold onto prescription medication that long after the expiration date?

Depends on the drug but yeah, not sure if hormones fall under that

[benji]

What would the crime be if you have a valid prescription?

You fash won't stop trying to come up with ways to criminalize people living their best lives.

[Nintex]

It just doesn't seem like a good idea to munch on 10 year old pills in general  
They ain't exactly stored in a sterile and controlled environment either. 

From what I know about it most expired medication can still be used but is less effective over time and most tests done on the subject usually answer questions like: 
"Is it ok if I take Aspirins from the medical kit at my workplace if they expired last week/month/year?"

or

"Can we donate these 2 year old stocks of vaccines and medicines kept in our climate controlled storage at the hospital to charity?"

The answer is usually "yes, but..."

I don't think they did any research on transbians keeping a stock of 10 year old HRT treatments in their cum sock.
