This is just business as usual, these orgs and people do not operate in any other way.

Globohomo's chomopomo prophets openly talk about their love of pedos:

These days, especially in America, boy-love is not only scandalous and criminal, but somehow in bad taste. On the evening news, one sees handcuffed teachers, priests and Boy Scout leaders hustled into police vans. Therapists call them maladjusted, emotionally immature. But beauty has its own laws, inconsistent with Christian morality. As a woman, I feel free to protest that men today are pilloried for something that was rational and honorable in Greece at the height of its civilization.

-Camille Paglia, Sexual Personae

any child old enough to decide whether or not she or he wants to eat spinach, play with trucks or wear shoes is old enough to decide whether or not she or he wants to run around naked in the sun, masturbate sit in somebody's lap or engage in sexual activity... Instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them. They need us badly.

-Pat Califia, The Aftermath of the Great Kiddy-Porn Panic of '77

Naked kids have been a staple of delight for centuries, for both parents and onlookers. So to label pedophilia as criminal is ridiculous.

-Allen Ginsberg, The Liberation is the Word, literary author, gay activist and founding member of NAMBLA

This notion of consent is a trap, in any case. What is sure is that the legal form of an intersexual consent is nonsense. No one signs a contract before making love... When we say that children are 'consenting' in these cases, all we intend to say is this: in any case, there was no violence, or organized manipulation in order to wrench out of them affective or erotic relations.

-Guy Hocquenghem, Sexual Morality and the Law, signer of the 1977 petition against age of consent laws

Like communists and homosexuals in the 1950s, boylovers are so stigmatized that it is difficult to find defenders for their civil liberties, let alone for their erotic orientation.

-Gayle Rubin, Thinking Sex, widely regarded as a founding text of Gay/Lesbian studies and Queer Theory

But pederasty is probably historically the most common form of homosexuality in Western culture, as well as many other cultures. It exists in all cultures, and in some is considered the norm, even today (e.g., Iran, among the Pashtuns). To label it 'child abuse' or 'child molestation' is preposterous and stupid.

-David Thorstad, rage email, president of both the Gay Activists Alliance and Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in NYC in the 1970s, founder of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), compared being a pederast in the US with being "a Jew in Nazi Germany"

It is not necessary to figure parent-child incest as a unilateral impingement on the child by the parent, since whatever impingement takes place will also be registered within the sphere of fantasy. In fact, to understand the violation that incest can be and also to distinguish between those occasions of incest that are violation and those that are not ­it is unnecessary to figure the body of the child exclusively as a surface imposed upon from the outside... The reification of the child’s body as passive surface would thus constitute, at a theoretical level, a further deprivation of the child: the deprivation of psychic life.

-Judith Butler, Undoing Gender, most influential living gender theorist. She sees incest taboo as working towards heteronormativity and asks that prohibition on incest be rethought to prevent the "violation" that is heteronormativity.

If I were to see the case of a boy aged ten or eleven who's intensely erotically attracted toward a man in his twenties or thirties, if the relationship is totally mutual, and the bonding is genuinely totally mutual ... then I would not call it pathological in any way.

-John Money, Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia, psychologist who forced a boy to be a girl and get humped by his twin brother after a botched circumcision. Both of the Reimer brothers committed suicide.

But, after all, listening to a child, hearing him speak, hearing him explain what his relations actually were with someone, adult or not, provided one listens with enough sympathy, must allow one to establish more or less what degree of violence if any was used or what degree of consent was given. And to assume that a child is incapable of explaining what happened and was incapable of giving his consent are two abuses that are intolerable, quite unacceptable.

-Michel Foucault, The Danger of Child Sexuality, Pope of Chomopomo, most cited academic in grievance studies, signer of the 1977 petition against age of consent laws

Suppression of the natural sexuality in the child, particularly of its genital sexuality, makes the child apprehensive, shy, obedient, afraid of authority, good and adjusted in the authoritarian sense; it paralyzes the rebellious forces because any rebellion is laden with anxiety; it produces, by inhibiting sexual curiosity and sexual thinking in the child, a general inhibition of thinking and of critical faculties. In brief, the goal of sexual suppression is that of producing an individual who is adjusted to the authoritarian order and who will submit to it in spite of all misery and degradation. Initially, the child has to submit to the structure of the authoritarian miniature state, the family, which process makes it capable of later subordination to the general authoritarian system. The formation of the authoritarian structure takes place through the anchoring of sexual inhibition and anxiety.

-Wilhem Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism

Other notable globohomo clergy:

Judge Brett Blomme, organizer of Drag Queen Story hour, made child porn in his home.

Henry "Harry" Hay, pioneer in US Gay rights, founder of the first sustained gay rights group in the US. Supported NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) and marched in the pride parade with a "NAMBLA walks with me" shirt.

Magnus Hirschfeld founder in 1897 of an institute deemed "the first advocacy for homosexual and transgender rights", considered homosexual "ephebophiles" as something common and nonpathological.

Simone de Beauvoir, lesbian feminist superhero second to none, of "every woman is homosexual by nature" fame, was one of the signers of the 1977 petition against age of consent laws demanding "recognition of the right of children and adolescents to maintain relationships with persons of their choice". It was in reaction to three men being taken to trial for grooming boys and girls under 15 years of age, but allegedly "without violence".

Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in California, of Oscar winning biopic about his life, and has a Navy ship named after him. Milk took advantage of his work with at-risk youth to groom at least one 16yo runaway Jack Galen McKinley who had substance abuse problems and lived on the streets of NYC (where the age of consent was 17). Jack would end up comitting suicide years later.

Outside of the game you got the ESG bit

You are correct in both instances. Sifu was released in 2022 but on the epic game store and moved over to steam in 2023.

Elden ring is 2022. Closest you got is perhaps reboot of Lords of The Fallen. But the nominees are weird in general, I mean FC24 and Overwatch 2 for games you suck at?

Haha, Bethesda also forgot the lunar landing games mechanic and used a cutscene instead

Proably consider to try once more and get the Mod Store up and running, Imagine a future where you as a company do not need to pay any devs, nor QA and only take a cut on every transaction, this is the Bethesda goal

Yes, a game that could not implement vehicle even tough they have had horses in earlier iteration of the engine... There were so many other ways they could have hacked something that at least would seem a bit more innovative even if forced to use that old engine.

You are suggesting that the dev playing helps them reinforce a certain playstyle that they are used and then only using that as a standard in order to iterate? In which case yes that is certainly a case that can happen, it is also something that even QA might get stuck into. But I do not agree that the devs playing their own game does nothing to help it. The very first iterations of a prototype would be something that the devs themself played in order to have any idea if the game is even feasible or fun. Later in the development process playing the game your self ensure that you can spot some obvious flaws (ofc with being human there will be blind spot which is why you bring in some other perspective to try new stuff)

Now with modern games being live service and such as your example were the iteration of endgame seems to be mostly in the balancing rather than trying more grand new features or other stuff or just removal of old stuff, I agree that the dev's own perspective starts being less useful.

Often times, it just makes them more certain in themselves that the player is wrong.

Is this not more the standard folly of man when they believe themself to be expert and loses all their humility? In which case i'm not sure that the devs playing the game itself is the flaw rather than the ego, they could just be declaring themself anointed without playing.

In some AAA companies that might be considered cruel and unusual torment xD

Play your own fucking games devs wtf, I have no respect for this.

It would be interesting to see the stats on the amount of time that is played by each department on their own products and then compare that to how it used to be. The anecdotes i got is that they are not that much of nerds of playing their own games unless forced by the job anymore, rather they find other games they are not involved in.

It really is atrocious and I am thinking of two titles in particular Baldur's Gate 3 and Rogue Trader. It's extremely annoying because even the negative reviews don't really talk about any of this which is why letting normies into gaming was a mistake. There are some game breaking bugs in these games that are either incredibly annoying to the point it made me not want to go near it anymore or they break the game and mean you can't even progress anymore.

The modern corpo mantra is that the customer is the test base this is helped by the customer base is not getting refunds. Just look at the amount of refunds of cyberpunk 2077 and the people whom defend that mess even when it was at the worst. The customer is blamed for all the faults of the producer and trying to say enough is enough will get you banned on corp forums and the shills heckling you. Gaslighting is part of normal communication and has been for a long while, this leads to normal consumers breaking down a bit and accepting the state of the gaming industry.

In regards to the dev parts to some extent is the quality of coders going down the drain, the passions is no longer encouraged due to all the fun office politics and the deadline is always insane and if you can fix a bug you could instead create a new feature for the sales team or work on something else.

Owlcat is extra fun since they sold an alpha and beta of their games which intentionally limited the endgame part of the game which means that in theory they had free QA for the first parts and would just need to pay for the end part (although one can argue how good they handle the first part of their game)

The swedes to some extent and mainly the younger generation, but is more due to the American culture influence in general. (regarding Tornados).

As other as mentioned they have their cash cow and their side business of Unreal engine. Games is also a weird stuff when it comes to supply and demand especially in the modern era where it is full digital, most of the game that epic gives away does so only for the base version, thus trying to get you to buy the dlc, or are mediocre titles that thus have outlived their profit (well major profit which means that the license to give them away is probably not as expensive as you think). Now a question for you do you think the modern audience will start going back and try the older titles? where there are no battle passes or constant events? were there are none of the friends to play with?

No leftism eh? You want me to find the 17 SDG being talked in a school manga setting? xD There is minor leftism in them but it's more on the level before the madness really settle in the west and it depends on the author ofc.

If you want to hear is own opinion on trump you can find it here.

You will not get a response, He has deemed himself above the rabble, He is enlightened. His only public goal here is to shill his work and "record history"...

Not too much knowledge about french law, nor their situation in its entirely so on sure how much this will help and then we also got the bureaucrats which is not handled here which is the major problem in other european nations.

I mean Musk public stated goal with Twitter is to create the X platform for everything which obvious means your digital id among other nefarious goals. It just he want to be the corpo stakeholder.

Ehh, If it is the choice between western localizer or AI, then the lesser evil is AI.

Since it seems most scanlator groups (or they are really pumping out with AI) just like the old piracy groups is dying out. Is this due to normies getting into anime thus creating such a huge market demand, or AI making it cheap enough to try and overtake it all for the drying ad revenue? Or are the next generation just so retarded that they cannot take up the mantle xD

Were the scanlator group for that not doing off the Chinese translation or am misremembering it?

Hmm, The Combat make it look too bullet sponge to be any fun if you ask me (could be overcome with better animations and perhaps damage states) and having without any destruction of those bases seems like a missed opportunity.

I think I will stick to remnant 1 and 2 for now

Now to the important question, do we know which AI they will use?

EDIT: Shiet (mantra AI), they are using some sort of consult firm that seems to setup custom solutions using other AI, and not using their own most of their case they use the IBM Watson (since that is one of their partners in their product sales pitchs) so yea...

Ehh, i'm going to guess no.

Gone are the fun wholesome times of Halo LAN party and Mario Kart 64 no, what we witness is every thot that will put out is what happens when women start getting involved in anything and not only do they establish cliques there's a visible hierarchy. Devs simping for female employees to appease them because they're scared of their art mediums getting them angry.

Yea, that is a fucking pain, man does the simping go over the top. Still perhaps it is just me being the social outcast xD but getting people together for lan party's is damn hard these days even when you ensure that no subversive elements get invited.

You seem to be stuck on the lie, that they repeat, it does not matter for the lie is merely a tool to get more control over culture in this case, you have also seen the lie on more "serious" matter. My point is why do you still expect them to speak truthfully? The higher ups get rewarded for their ignorance and the wormtounges get a chance of promotion.

The small business which does not live in utopia will react accordingly (and the state will force them to be neutralized if needed) and unless you speak to higher ups and can convince them that this deal is a deal with the devil they will not change path.

Yes, even their own studies of data says that the platform women play on the most is mobile and the most favorite game is match-3 or similar puzzle games, with farm/family games in between.
