Trying to map out how these people think will fuck you up. It's like trying to plot the logic of a serial killer, if they were retarded and smoked up.
I could brush this off if I really felt that the members of whatever government in the room listening to her wouldn't agree and take this to heart. They're all in the same range of stupid and fanatical.
Ubisoft knew they'd be marching Skull and Bones out to die no matter how complete it was.
WB honestly believed SS would be a huge success because it checked the right boxes and had a live service which meant constant profit for them, and that's what makes its failure more entertaining.
I keep thinking of the scene in Goodfellas where Tommy gets executed; WB thought they'd be walking into a promotion and opportunity but ended up getting whacked by the gamer community.
So now we need to push a Competency, Organizational, Professionalism, & Efficiency (COPE) score to measure actual business productivity and investment viability.
It will, of course, be the opposite of whatever the BRIDGE compliance rating comes in at.
Their hate is only harmless until you're alone with them, your back is turned, or they realize the cameras are off.
Every gamer out there should be considered qualified. We are all well aware, painfully aware, of these topics and their impact on every aspect of gaming including sales, community impact, and established canon. We're up to date and selecting product based on advanced identification hueristics. We're networked and constantly renewing consensus. All we need to do is come up with a legit sounding name.
"I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it."
A sane world wouldn't. You managed to fuck up in one of the few ways anyone with your amount of privilege points still can. Bye now.
Immersion matters. Leave it to them to ignore the guidelines for creating a work of fiction.
Just wait until you get the notice that your project is canceled before it gets a beta build.
This would require playing the games, which would ruin their skimming reddit for current 'hot thing' nuggets, funny screenshots, and edgelord comments to write filler articles about.
Kotaku writers are the type of people who would see playing video games as actual labor, and even more so if those are games they wouldn't pick for themselves. The "life is strange" crowd would see playing Helldivers as doing hard time.
Yeah but at least she has an arc through the series and it comes to an end. It's more about the lasting impact on Cal Kestis than herself.
It's a good game if you can stand Debra Wilson, who everyone complains about. Her character is tolerable in this series since they don't make a thing out of her race at all. The game is fun, though some of the maps get annoying if you're going for 100%. BD-1 is a bro.
It's not half bad. They do nail the characters, it's not woke, it's got tons of licensed 80s tunes in it, and it's a fairly long ride with a lot of cameos in it. The combat is kind of vanilla at times but it's not a slog. I even laughed at the jokes more than a few times. It's worth a play through.
When liberals feel like someone has their backs, they immediately turn into angsty, entitled teenage edgelords; lashing out, cursing, insulting, and no longer attempting to make valid arguments. Deep down they're all feral and waiting for someone to tell them that their instability is a virtue.
It doesn't convey well in text but I use the term in a derogatory sense against anyone dumb enough to prefer it. Adding X to your identity screams that you revel in victimhood, and are willing to water down your own heritage in order to feel sorry for yourself. It's a pretense of being a member of some exotic but crushed people, lost to the ages because of some unnamable wrong that's definitely not your fault so everyone everywhere should feel bad for you forever.
I do not hate Latins. All are different and respectable in their origins. The term denies them that.
Nothing says "we're the good guys" like pre-committing yourself to be as toxic and harmful as possible to people whose views you disagree with.
They took a few jabs. "The American dream doesn't come in our color!"
Ironically the one with an all-Latinx cast, set on an island that is all their own, taking time to complain about the US, turns out to be the worst entry in the series by a mile.
Wait, are they showing that thing with the body cosmetic piece from a female skin and the head from the male skin (they are interchangeable) and then complaining that doing so is blahblahphobic?
This is old news for these characters but that this one has male and female sets with interchangeable pieces is new. They're just exploiting this feature and odd choice to invent some grievous offense.
Some SJW at Marvel definitely orgasmed while writing this garbage.
So you chose a wide array of all sorts of dysfunctional people and invited them to bring all their issues with them to add to your project, pleasing nobody. Well done.
It's basic writing and laziness that the diversity hires who threw it together don't understand. The first one uses the music to move the story and demonstrate a motivation. The second one flat out interrupts everything to just put words on the screen in the least entertaining conceptually bankrupt way, and it's all CG to begin with so it's extra lazy and annoying, obviously shoehorned in to eat running time.
I have a friend who does this. He subjects himself to media he knows sucks. He does not expect to be wrong, he just has a curiosity about exactly how bad it is.
We've dubbed the condition "cinemasochism"
