However if George Lucas came out against gays and trans people, would you taint the entire franchise?

Yes. I would immediately lose ibr interest in Star Wars and go do something else. There’s plenty of entertainment out there that’s not made by shitty bigots.

I was a moderately engaged HP fan before I learned what a colossally awful human the author is, but her TERF ramblings also made me realize there’s quite a lot of racial and ethnic stereotypes baked into the franchise. It’s probably the fastest I’ve ever totally abandoned an interest in a series. Even if we do separate the works from the author like so many fanbois suggest, they’re still awful.

In that sense, it worked. Let’s face it: The people who don’t care about the author’s raging bigotry were never going to be convinced regardless, but there were a lot of us who didn’t even consider playing it because of the TERF.

Disgusting

I’m in luck then because I never could get Mass Effect to create saves on my PC for some reason.

I agree! That game is just pure fun!

I’m not sure why I didn’t feel quite the same about Eternal.

Just started The Outer Worlds, which I got free on EGS during the holiday.

I love the aesthetics and voice acting. The movement feels a bit floaty, but it’s alright. At least the configuration of the controls is intuitive.

I know some people who’ve played it. Some say they really enjoyed it, while others said it was rather bland. I’m really enjoying it so far, but I’m not too far in. It seems like a game where I could get caught up in the side quests without ever advancing in the main quest.

This game looks darkly hilarious. Has anyone played it?

I’m not a tech person, and I’m currently using a SearXNG instance

I’ve thought the same thing, and I’ve concluded there must be a significant percentage of people who use search engines in a completely different way than I do. Like my dad saying to his tablet, “Ok google, play [song from the 1960s].” If people think this is what a search engine is supposed to do, then I imagine a search engine that actually behaves like a search engine would be pretty disappointing.
