I have heard women use ick. It appears to be a word that in recent years they use all of the time. Basically it indicates a lack of comfort, but also a weird desire to have everything conform to their desires.

They're culturally forbidden to use language that adults might use to describe how they feel about something. If this guy said "Starfield sucks ass" like a normal person then he'd get so many angry messages from people on his team he'd have to delete his account.

He's right but not how he thinks.

I hate the women in the pirates/special forces/gangs because it's just outright immersion breaking in games.

You don't see women in real life fighting against cops out in the streets of Mexico.

You don't see women tangling it up in the favelas against BOPE.

You don't see women on the frontlines in any of the videos coming out of the fake Ukraine/Russia conflict.

When you do see women in police situations (regardless of where in the world it's taking place) they're royally screwing up the situation or getting manhandled one way or the other. But that isn't how they're portrayed in games.

They keep trying to make it like women are just as tough/competent as men. And every time I see them in combat roles I just roll my eyes and am reminded of just how ridiculous it all is. Unless they're in exo-suits/mechs/etc., there is no situation where them being in the field of combat makes sense.

That being said, the guy is a retard. And just shows further how the more you kowtow to the Left the more you simply cannot win. But every retarded studio that does kowtow to them, I hope they keep bending over backwards to make their games as unplayable and ridiculous as possible and keep shutting down. It's entertaining to see people not learn their lesson and ruin their lives in the process of trying to appease insufferably insatiable twatwaffles.

Funny about the women pirates. I've been playing and the women in the Crimson Fleet are what made me decide to destroy them. EVERY SINGLE CHICK there is a major obnoxious asshole to you, barring maybe one of them. They're just so unlikable compared to the dudes.

Are there aliens in this game? Or is everyone just a (very ugly) human? Are there also women among the aliens or are they rightly “non-binary,” since, you know, they’re NOT HUMAN?

My understanding is there are no sentient aliens in the game, or at least not in such a capacity that you interact with them much or at all. What aliens are there are essentially wildlife.

Dude made one interesting game that has almost zero replayability and can be beaten in a few hours. And now he's in the indie clique circle so he will be forever "relevant."

Also, is he saying that there's a difference between men and women? Because I don't see gender or sex when it comes to these weirdos or their "artistic" output -- they're all unappealing vaguely androgynous humanoids.

Jonathan Blow -- made a game called "Braid" like 15 years ago that was a puzzle twist on Super Mario Brothers and had an unbelievably pretentious (mostly ignorable) story about a princess and nuclear bombs. Also had a secret that requires the player to sit and wait for like 45 minutes. Would recommend a playthrough if you like action platform puzzlers and can get it for < $5.

He's made a game or two since then but nothing as noteworthy.

This tweet should explain everything about why he's unable to finish anything any more. It's hard to explain to non-programmers, but his code is overcomplicated in an extremely "I'm too smart for readable code" sort of way, and that sort of code really slows the process down.

Every programmer goes through that stage at some point, where they become good enough to write convoluted yet highly compact code. But no matter how good you are, that sort of code really slows you down when you're debugging it later, even if you're the one who wrote it. Most people mature out of this phase and retvrn to writing highly legible code, but pseuds like Blow just get worse and worse.

Braid's reception got him believing that he's a genius and he never made anything good again. Many such cases.

Oh so he's one of those people. Yeah, fuck anyone who subscribes to that approach to writing code. They should be beaten with a 2x4.

God I hate people who are like that. They think they're being cute and clever when all they're doing is making code that's so unmanageable that it should simply be deleted on sight. If they ever progress past that stage, instead of writing good code they latch onto the bullshit idea of "self documenting code" and then outright refuse to comment their code base, because again they think that they're oh so clever.

The stream I was watching the guy was playing a pirate and ran across a "school bus" spaceship supposedly full of kids. He tried blowing it up and nothing happened. The actual whole spaceship was fucking invincible. It didn't even react to getting shot.

I can understand major story characters

Honestly I think that's another lazy development trope, a crutch that Bethesda and others just do because they can. Starfield itself has "hidden" story branches that react to certain unconventional actions of the player. It would only be slightly more challenging to add more branches for when major characters are killed off. For example in some games when a quest giver was killed, another random NPC would take his place and give you the same quests.

There we have it folks. They finally get what they want, and they use infantile language to tell people how it makes them uncomfortable.

For the millionth time, never capitulate to the left, for what they want is control and power over you, doesn't matter what they're asking for. They just want to see you do what they want.

Also I just realized this is the Braid guy. How long can someone cling to relevance when their last well known game was more than a decade ago. Fifteen years in fact. Oh, and his other title The Witness was seven years ago.
