Quote:[Gematsu] Every announcement at State of Play: September 24, 2024
Sony Pony Frozen forgot there was like 1 exclusive game for Sony while everything is third party which were announced long time ago. I thought Hell is Us was one of the exclusive but it's third party too.

Am I crazy for seeing this? Women always having manicured looking fingernails is an unsung but very real character design trope in anime, one that I haven't been able to unsee for some time now. Ghost of Yotei isn't anime obviously, but it seems to be abiding by this particular beauty standard for some reason, even if it doesn't make any sense for the character, a killer on the run in the wilderness.
If I'm wrong on this, ignore me. This thread was the only place I could think of to post this.
The Babylonians were doing manicures. I'm pretty sure there's Egyptian art about it still around.

Despite the idea of anime appearing out of the aether, they’re just cartoons and comics written by and for the Japanese. And it’s quite common to see elaborate fingernails among all sorts of people and professions. I had to sign for a delivery and the lady carting around cardboard boxes all day had decked out nails. People like to look nice and kempt and presentable. That “looking good, feeling good” thing. Maybe it’s a two way street. If rocking the norwood mullet is a reflection of your internal self, maybe start by cleaning up the outside, and the inside will follow.

Quote:Salma Hayek’s body exists. Sofia Vergara’s body exists. Megan Thee Stallion exists. When we looked at [BioWare’s Q&A] where they talked about representing everybody’s bodies, it was all white people. There is a Eurocentric idea of what bodies are. And so usually when people talk about going against beauty standards, they are often talking about including people with a larger build, which is what this game does. However, most people designing this are white people. Nobody actually thinks about what has happened historically for women of color, particularly Black and brown women who do live in bodies that have consistently been oppressed because of the way they look and have been fetishized because of the way they look. And instead of actually allowing players [to create characters with those types of bodies] or even acknowledging that Black and brown women would play this game and deserve the ability to make their bodies in this game, [it’s almost as if] those can’t exist because everybody has co-opted [that body type] and made it automatically be sexualized. When no, big breasts aren’t necessarily sexualized.
Oh and they also blame the evil chuds for being the reason that the devs didn't add big breasts
Quote:I have triple Ds. I am a 38 triple D. That is my breast size. I didn’t alter my body. I didn’t choose to have them. That is what I have. And there are a lot of women who have that breast size. And so it is frustrating when I am being told that my body type, my body can’t exist in these games because they’re aiming for something “realistic.” And I do think the Dragon Age team is very well-meaning in wanting everybody to feel represented, but all of the Black and brown women in my life, my friends, none of our bodies can be represented in there. And a lot of it is because they have just kind of ceded the idea. It’s an overcorrection for the really crappy people saying that things need to be sexy without recognizing that I can’t control if somebody sexualizes a picture of me and my breasts, right? And if we keep those options out, they are very effectively not recognizing that these bodies are something that we have to live in, and that we are consistently told aren’t okay.

Depends on the kind of white.  and only if the white guy gets the Shogun treatment of being seen as a barbarian. I'd rather Assassins Creed have a Japanese cast thank you very much!
I'd be fine with Yasuke if Ubisoft hadn't tried so hard to make it seem completely historical. The Japanese finally get their turn in Assassins Creed and its taken from them.
Quote:Ugh, I won't even start with this topic...
Because I would REALLY get going.
Awareness of others in public, in shared spaces, is what I consider the most important part of "general civil decorum".
It has continually gotten worse since I've been born and there is nothing I can do to fight it.
I can only control how angry it makes me, because that only serves to make me suffer.
I choose not to suffer.

Please ignore this post. Ubisoft is an amazing game company and Assassin's Creed: Shadows will be the perfect addition to the Assassin's Creed series line.

This Shinobi chump (who I'm assuming is fat, benji plz confirm) is going hard for Dragon Age. Very hard. 'I'm literally being paid to be a fanboy of this game' levels of hard, perhaps. Game looks like hot dog sick and he's out there pushing hard to make sure you don't believe your lying eyes.
I have no clue what Shinobis job is at the moment but it can be best described as corporate whore I think.
