Still Harry Potter, but you have to tear out all mentions of J.K. Rowling's name from it.
I have the ultimate subversion: the Others stop faffing around and execute their plan, bulldozing the Wall down, overrunning Westeros, bringing on an eternal winter to it, and killing everyone. Because bad guys and the universe as a whole don't just wait around for everyone else to finish their character arcs before taking action. Bam, big story about deconstructing fantasy conventions done.
Every now and then, I ask myself: why is this arrogant fat fuck still alive, while the younger, more health-conscious, and incredibly humble Kentaro Miura dead?
You don't need to cover up the face, because that could easily belong to a man too, or at least a teenage boy. Even the sex scene does little to depict any femininity in Abby, since the abomination looks like it's taking it up the ass.
Don't need a screening by a medical professional to see where the cancer is on them.
I'd gloat, but like all other award shows, they're trash, never indicative of real quality, and at the end of the day, are just overpaid celebrities and media personalities patting themselves on the back. So there's no schadenfreude for me to enjoy. Though I suppose I can get some at seeing how once again, no matter what you do for women, wokists, and feminists, it'll never be enough.
But so was "The Problem with Jon Stewart." I wish he would just disappear because he's a dangerous propogandist that normies actually listen to. And it's clear he's returning to push the anti-Trump and extreme leftist machine extra hard this year.
Feminists should be angry. What the hell is the Academy Awards thinking, giving all the props to a man, especially a STRAIGHT WHITE MAN, from a movie built from the ground up to be female supremacist propoganda?
Either she really is that clueless, or she knows the answer but understands she can't actually say it because it is one of The Things that Do Not Ever Happen, at least according to the MSM, who are more than happy to destroy the lives of anyone who speaks out of turn.
Anime studios still haven't figured out what Pixar did almost 30 years ago.
The Witcher was a slight step up in complexity from the mindless auto-attack systems that are common in RPGs, and especially in MMORPGs. The only thing it added in was a rhythm game mechanic where you clicked the mouse once the cursor prompt appeared, and a dodge you would occasionally use to avoid getting mobbed. The only way to get confused by the controls was to not bother reading the tutorial messages in the prologue.
That game was amazing.
Even Viconia's non-romance, non-alignment-change ending implied a redemption for her happened, where she fell out of favor with Shar and assisted do-gooder Drizzt in saving Suldanessalar from a Zhentarim plot. Seems the writers at Larian really hated her and Sarevok and felt the need to go out of their way including them in a story that didn't require them just to assassinate them, character-wise and literally.
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. This game was yet another attempt to copy the GTA formula in the PS2 era, but unlike nearly all the others, it actually worked! Set in a militaristic warzone, the game set you on the task of capturing an entire Deck of 52 and more or less just let you decide how you were going to go about that. There was no linear story to follow; just gather intel by doing jobs for four factions that didn't always cooperate with one another, and figure out where the faces and aces were so you could capture or assassinate them. What was great about it was that every mission let you decide how you wanted to accomplish it. Sometimes, you'd be given some toys and air support options to help you, or you could think outside the box by ordering even more things from your friends in the Russian Mafia. Unfortunately, no one talked about this game at release, and after the failure of the second one, it vanished into the void. It's never even gotten ported to PC or newer consoles
War of the Monsters: Awesome kaiju beat-em-up made in a similar vein to the King of the Monsters games from the 16-bit days (which are also examples). Unfortunately, it showed up with minimal hype and disappeared swiftly thereafter. And I seem to be the only one who ever played it (or owned it).
The Witcher. Yes, everyone and their grandmother is familiar with The Witcher now, but as far they're concerned, the third game is the only one that exists. No one ever wants to even try the first game, even though it frequently goes on sale for a freaking dollar and can be run on a potato chip. Why? Because they're so convinced it's a confusing and unplayable janky-ass mess simply because it's old (as in it was made before 2011), even though it really isn't either of those things anymore. And because they would rather play the latest buggy-at-release piece of crap at $70. It's very irritating.
Lately, I've found it's easy to judge the quality of an RPG's companions (and by extension, the quality of the RPG as a whole) simply by just looking at them. Do they look like they were designed with woke sensibilities in mind? Do they seem like they're meant to appeal to a very specific and narrow sexual fetish? Are they wearing obviously gay fashion just to loudly flaunt how gay they are? Look out of place in the setting? Are the females overwhelmingly ugly, plain, and/or sporting odd facial proportions, yet still advertised as love interests? Do they seriously look like they could be skilled adventurers with storied pasts who could probably have been the cover heroes (or villains) of their own tales, and not like they were selected from a stock catalogue of NPC images or by pressing the Randomize button on FaceGen? If the answer to at least a couple of these questions is yes, then chances are you got a really bad roster and RPG with it.
Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Baldur's Gate 3 definitely got the alarm bells ringing for me for all the above reasons.
Also Virconia, not sure what her point was, I did not find a way to have her join me.
What they did to Viconia (and Sarevok) was complete bullshit and was the final determinator in my decision to not get this game. If the original characters don't deserve to have their redemption arcs, why the hell should any of Larian's get any?
Is Seth on the Epstein list?
Most definitely.
To everyone downvoting the topic based on the title alone: it's the sarcastic and clickbaity title of the video, which itself is trashing and arguing against the rising trend of making games more cinematic and the industry's pursuit of the completely undeserved prestige of degenerate Hollywood.
I know one way they can reduce costs: stop hiring Hollywood actors to voice all the characters, and go back to regular voice actors.
What are they gonna do? Ship him on a plane back home, toss him into the nearest embassy and let them deal with him, or drop him into the ocean?
Wish that blond bitch would have shut the fuck up and let him talk.
Then you can go live in the post-apocalyptic ruins caused by that dipshit Japanese kid who couldn't just find the decency to kill himself. By the way, he'll be you only company in the world. Well, him and the redheaded bitch. Have fun!
But he doesn't count because trannies aren't violent! Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster said so!
Out of 29 men, only about maybe 5 were policitically incompatible with her. Which would mean the vast majority are more in lockstep with her views. And yet she can't stand men who are easily triggered, do copious amounts of drugs, don't work, aren't legal citizens, or are into sexual degeneracy. All things that her politics encourage.
One thing I do notice about her complaints is that she never says the actual dates were bad. She just didn't like the guys. And while some of these guys do sound like they could be awful people or irritating to be around (though I need actual context to make a call on that, not some random chick's rants), others don't sound like they were bad at all; they just weren't the kind of people she was looking for in a relationship. If you don't like them, fine, that's your prerogative. Be as petty about your wants and needs as you like. But don't bitch about how awful your dating experience has been. The purpose of dating is for people to test the waters and see if they're compatible with one another. It's working as intended for you; your problem is that you call things off immediately for the pettiest of reasons.
And finally, list your dealbreakers on your profile yourself, like how you don't want children. Stop expecting everyone else to read your goddamn mind.
No, they still haven't decoupled themselves from the Harry Potter franchise. They're as obsessed with it as ever before; they just try to pretend that a heretic like Rowling didn't create it. And the funny thing about Hogwarts Legacy is that it's the only piece of Harry Potter media they attacked. Didn't see anyone attacking Universal Studios for their Harry Potter rides and attractions, Barnes and Noble for devoting entire shelves to Harry Potter books and merchandise in their stores, or LEGO for still producing and selling Harry Potter sets. No, it was just this one retarded game that drew all their ire for some reason. And personally, I wouldn't be surprised if the troons and Marxists screaming about the game still bought it because they just couldn't resist the temptation of living out their fantasy of attending magic high school.
