Zero disagreement with any of that. It’s a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.

Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥

This is one of those situations where you’re correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don’t regularly play games or can’t afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.

Yup, you’re entirely correct, Obsidian is often and loudly praised, they deserve it. But also…

… they deserve a lil more… always a lil’ more!

(I’m just being silly and dum. I have just recently started their games and just wanted to sing their praises myself. Don’t mind me, just a lil fan girling out about great world building. 🥹)

Obsidian as a studio is super underrated. Both pillars of eternity has amazing worldbuilding and narrative. They aren’t unknown or anything, but gotdang they are some of the most creative devs out there!

Please don’t give money to people who explicitly use it to perscuit, harass and restrict the rights of a minority group. There are so many other games, give your business to anyone else.

Xbox itself, sure. But this boycott is for the larger war crimes that Microsoft is abetting via surveillance, storage and AI informed bombing in palestine. The corporation itself isn’t rotting, but a thriving pumpkin patch.

So much so that nearly all businesses and much government run and rely on Windows. Which is why Xbox in particular is being targeted. It’s a strictly consumer product that is not strictly nessecary with substitutions available.

You’re right, tradition is a poor reason for anything, abundantly agree. However this is an incredibly pedantic topic to deploy that argument. You’re taking a trueism and applying it to something with such low stakes that it becomes a little silly.

Which is why you’re getting so much push back. You’re repeating the same truth, but that’s not relevant to why people are down voting and sassing ya.

It’s fiction, not reality. I agree its a lot, I looked away a bit, but ya don’t have to be judgemental when no one was ACTUALLY hurt.

Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.

In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

and every cunt with a “he/him” or “she/her” in twitter bio that doesnt need it.

🙄

Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.

And this right here is a great reason to buy anything else other than pre-order GTA6.

Holy heck in wow! Love the art direction! I’m always a sucker for deck builders, but I haven’t seen one with such a cute style! Might just be picking this up soon.

So I’m not into megs man, platformer shooters are super not my thing. But after loving Paradise Killer I think detective games just might be. I’ve never played any of the Ace games, any suggestions on which is a good entry point to the series? Is there an overall story of are the games self contained?

The uno reverse card you’re trying to play is so silly. Yes, I am intolerant of intolerance. This sort of queerphobic bigotry is hateful, cringe and diametrically opposed to “acceptance”. You can’t be supportive of queer lives when you are also demonizing queer repsentation as ugly.

None of the characters were attractive. One was morbidly obese. Almost all of them were gender non-conforming

Some real capital G-amer takes here. Come everyone, let’s join hands and “objectively” agree to hate minority bodies.

Temtem. Like I’m not trying to be a troll, but Tem has so much more going on in its world.

Finicial authority beats moral everytime.

Don’t pick me. This is just inspiration to do like my… 5th-ish playthrough. Fantastic game and a real treat for any new farmers!

But, the real question is… when ya gonna haunt them chocolates ape!!!

That’s honestly heart breaking, all three gave exceptional performances. I hope in time people will understand the artistic merit in both voice acting and video games as a medium, but these people deserved to skyrocket into their own franchises.

WARNING : Playing excellent, well told, thought provoking puzzle games about AI will make you so much madder about the silly folk that say “I turned AI sentient” folk. 🙄

Great game, solid sequel too.

Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.

Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I’m picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it’s regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I’m pleased to see it at $10.

Attack the arguments, not the person.

I mean… Piratesoftware certainly went after the person.

Bastion and Transistor, sure. Without a doubt, imoactful clever stories that were well delivered.

Pyre always felt like a buggy mess tho. I tried multiple times to get into it but it’s just not on the level of the first two.

It’s a niche masterpiece, but my 600 hours of play time agrees I am in that niche

Hey sis, I feel where you are coming from and I truly understand, there are a lot of scary things happening in the world and what others do with their time isn’t something you should ever worry about.

I have a lot of emotions when I see people talk about HP, primarily dissapointment, my guess is that all trans folk do. But it wasn’t a fight we lost, because it wasn’t a fight, but slow incremental progress. If something simple as media choices are a stumbling block for “allies”, then they are just fairweather friends. Naturally people react defensively to criticism, such as GirlfriendReviews, but that doesn’t make make giving money to those that persecute us any less valid critique.

You’re exhausted, so am I, we all are. Transphobia is rampant, yet it’s better than ten years ago, better than 30 and better than a 100. The progress is slow, but talking about the ways our community is harmed is the way to make the next 100 years better.

Potionomics!

Fantastic story, voice acting and mechanics. It’s such an odd mix of deck building, crafting and VN romance. Yet it delivered on all fronts with a solid character writing that kept surprising me.

Jfc. That’s so sad. Fuck you WB. For this and many other reasons.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling or not…

Is that seriously in the new one?

Buy our new device that you can use like a computer mouse!

But I already have a computer with a mouse…?

Yeeeah… I’m coming in to this situation cold, aside from seeing King of Kong years ago. Billy is without question an asshole, but saying he was happy about a suicide AND that the suicide was linked to his lawsuit, are both pretty clear cut examples of defamation.

I’m suprised and a lil’ confused why you would share this story in response. Respectfully, it feels like you’re shifting blame. Like, okay, sure, It’s your sister’s birthdays fault you gave money to a terf.

I mean, you do you but if the trans persecution isn’t a deal breaker when it comes to something so basic as media choices. Then, whatever. Own it.

Glad that the term “exclusive” expires, pre-ordering to get something is a FOMO that I personally don’t find enticing, but understand from a business stand point. But over time it just becomes silly to arbitrarily block existing content for players that purchased YEARS after release.

I’ve been watching Severance and thinking about Control lately, might be time for a replay.

Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.

Please stop giving money to bigots. You’re directly funding the legislation against a minority group.

I just asked it to show me every video game magazine in our collection in chronological order that says “Metroidvania.”

That example is impressive. Sorta doubt I personally will use this much, but I am sure that content creators I already enjoy sure will!

Well neat! That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thank ya, I’ll pick it up.

I’ve been keeping my eye on it ever since I saw the super cute release trailer. How worthwhile is it? What games is it simmiliar to?

I’m not totally sure I agree, my wife and I just played through BL 2 and laughed most of the way. Just as we both seperately did a decade-ish prior. The humor itself didn’t age poorly, just BL3 and Presequal.

My wife and I each 100%'d Talos 2 and it was abundantly amazing. It had been years since either of us completed 1 but the way the story is structured you hear about the events of the first game in detail pretty regularly. I’m trying to be vague for spoilers. And of course I’m not trying to talk out of replaying 1, but just know you don’t have to, understand 2, and in my opinion it might be a touch tedious to do them back to back.

Both fantastic games tho that started a lot of good conversations between us.
