She decries them because they were a product of the marketing department, against the wishes of the developers. Nowhere in the games was her sex appeal played up. She was designed to be visibly female with PS1 graphics.

What you're saying about the classic games is a milder version of what the woke say about them, including the likes of Crystal. It might not be convenient that Melonie is right on this one, but she is. Lara's sexuality wasn't played up in the games until Crystal got their hands on the franchise.

There was none of that in the classic games. Pierre had a jacket with a naked woman that was impossible to make out in the original game? What has that to do with how Lara was presented?

It's possible to simultaneously acknowledge the she is a grifter and that she isn't lying about this one thing.

This game was made in the 90's and is being remastered by the same company that did the practically perfect TR remasters.

What more do you want.

You're supposed to not want it, otherwise it won't demoralize you.

Great if it's a Wukong style actual-videogame-not-slots-machine-disguised-as-game.

But it won't be.

Trump: Many people are committing a crime. I want to stop them all from committing that crime.

US: 43% do not support

Sounds about right.

"There's no threat to white race/culture, but by trying to protect it you're preventing a more equitable world"

So, there's no threat, but protecting against a threat is preventing something from happening. Hmm.

Oh wow, it's Ronon and Sheppard.

Anyway, 'All you need is the spirit' - if anyone who identifies are Irish is Irish, can you tell me what is an Irishman.

Why are we, among all white people, so targeted by Americans for actual unironic cultural appropriation.

The game takes every possible opportunity to remind you that the interracial lesbian couple are a gay lesbian couple who are gay and lesbian by the way.

Some days I think that grouping all non-whites as "people of color" might actually have some basis in reality. This is one of those days.

I'm glad they clarified that it's the brain that gets confused, and not one of the other parts of humanoids that can experience confusion.

People who answer survey questions likely to give the socially acceptable answer, survey finds.

I skimmed the EU study on piracy recently (the video game kind not the boat kind), and a not insignificant part of it was determining how much of the survey results they collected were lies.

I wonder if this survey did the same.

Don't have to find compatible sub file

Subs are built in on downloaded files just like on streams?

don't have to look for quality

That's true with streams as there is no quality to be found, torrents are clearly labelled as to which aren't shit though

don't have to worry about hardcoded subs

Hardcoded subs haven't been a thing in decades

viruses

You're downloading video files

time it would take to download

Streams download at approx 1x, literally any other method is faster

watch the first episode to see if you like it

Just prioritize the first episode?

reading people's reactions to episode

Literally what the comments on torrent sites are for

Is this some kind of bizarro troll post I've fallen for?

Makes fun of people pushing their values via videogames, then advertises games that push their values.

Intredasting.

Exactly, for some reason the article is written as if the consoles have suffered a hardware failure or something.

"the situation raises awkward questions about the future prospects of console hardware reliant on an internet connection to fully function" - it actually doesn't though? Things that require online services do in fact require those online services. Wow, shocker. Ultimately, what the console can do while offline is all the console itself is really able to do.

Speaking of Linux, this is also why I'm leery of package managers and looking into ways to archive installed packages before I'd even consider switching.

Why should some third party company have any sort of control over the games I bought on steam?

Why should steam have any control over games you bought on steam? If I buy a physical game off amazon I don't have to sign in to my amazon account to use it. Same goes for GoG.

Steam got started by pulling the exact same shit as this with HL2. So, while I agree that requiring two accounts is even dumber than requiring one, complaining about this while buying the game on steam is moronic.

We need to return to monke. An awful lot of content on Youtube could be presented in a written format instead, as it used to be. Easily self-hosted.

We get and agree that they're not actively spying on (most) people.

The one moment of sanity in this whatever this is.

This new feature requires new hardware in your PC because it moves the processing out of their cloud and onto your local system. But this is somehow actually a move to make spying easier because... your government listens in on a public network?

Future versions of windows will be just like the previous versions. A whole lot of hysteria, followed by the release of a simple tool to turn off all the new crap they added, so that it continues to look and act like windows 7.

People who think this means windows is spying on them are going to lose their minds when they realize that Teams, another Microsoft product, can record everything you camera sees and your microphone hears and has existed for years.

Checking wikipedia, if you disregard handhelds, PS4 is the second best selling games console of all time, and is still selling.

PS5 is struggling (compared to previous gens) for various reasons, but has obliterated the XBox.

It's amazing isn't it, how people will rally to such a degree to change the least bad thing about the game, but ignore everything else wrong with it.

Gamers rise up etc.
