I agree, for every conservative preaching unity (not really that many, but some for sure) there are 1000 liberals screaming and chanting fight/revolt/etc.
They will only ramp up their rhetoric and continue foaming at the mouth imo.
Kind of in between real games to play at this point. Been casually playing Stranger of Fantasy and while not great it is kind of fun.
I miss playing an MMORPG and being invested in it, but in general they tend to feel like a waste of time and TOO much of an investment.
I mean that all makes sense, I just don't know a person that is interested in this, and as small as my world may be, I'm shocked there is any hype around this at all.
There are things I understand normies falling for, like the Rings of Power or Disney+ shows, games like Spider-Man 2 for ps5/pc, I'm not surprised normies hop along with it and say its so great despite how lackluster it is.
But this is a medium-ish? fantasy series that hasn't had a good game for years and years and years, so this level of support/hype artificially or naturally is very strange to me.
I am absolutely fucking flabbergasted they even approached 60k after looking at a single image of the game, truly.
Like if you watch a trailer, look at a screenshot, there shouldn't, realistically, be any reason to draw you into this game, but even more so if you actually like fantasy or Dragon Age.
I am genuinely impressed that they even approached that number, that will be an overwhelming success in their eyes, and this concept will repeat for as long as this is part of the general video game discussion.
The only reason I am saying this is because they will point at any big game and say its numbers are lower for as long as they possibly can.
Well Jeremy Clark there is the reason it all changed, clearly (the faggot in the image)
That dude is likely a tranny at this point and tweeting about how he can't wait to fuck all the they/thems in Dragon Age whenever it officially releases
At no point did anyone but you bring up how long people have been around.
Above he said they must all be deported because he likely thinks they aren't compatible with a civilized society.
No part of it has to do with age, tenure, seniority, or anything like that.
Both Minthara and Karlach aren't too bad either, especially as you spend more time with them in-game, probably the voice actors helped quite a bit.
Sadly the build your own waifu thing is a full on bait at the beginning, unless you are talking about making your own MC compared to the guardian thing.
While I agree with tracking this, I want to track the stuff that goes woke and doesn't go broke as well. Partially for a sort of "what is the line" sort of thing, as well as just figuring out what is acceptable to the larger population but not the smaller population.
For example BG3 - gayness fucking everywhere, endlessly, hyper inclusive, every settlement is a metropolitan queer's diverse utopia where we are still racist to each other but at least 2 of the gate guards are black :)
Hugely successful, very woke from character creator to actual content in-game, but is glossed over for the most part because it is a pretty solidly built game. I'm not saying any of you are giving the game a pass but at least from the broader perspective of this topic, it wouldn't ever be considered a 'go woke go broke' with their level of success.
***Also thought of a few more for your list - Lightyear was a big wakeup for Disney, lost them a lot of money for adding in unnecessary gayness to a children's movie, and lead to them actively telling their staff to "avoid making her too gay" when referring to a character in that emotions movie (forgot the name).
Always loved his videos but preferred when he was out on the street talking to people and letting them expose their own stupidity. Still enjoy the content overall but wish there wasn't as much focus on the podcast/news coverage stuff and miss the old formats.
That was one of the things I really liked about Divinity Original Sin 2, you could play as a skeleton/undead race of each race, but if you went out in public in town you were attacked on sight.
To work around it as long as you wore armor covering your face, or had a special disguise mask you could still play those characters. But if you wanted to not hide your face you went through the game fighting most city NPCs all over the world.
I think it is likely SMT/Persona, probably Atlus as a whole got pozzed awhile back just because of the way some of their games have been. It has been more subtle with things I have played, and there has been the normal localization drama, but it is clear they are moving towards that "modern" "progressive" kind of messaging.
The funny thing is, he just got banned for nothing. Then as time passed they just quietly unbanned him because he didn't do anything.
Like the channel didn't get hacked, they never had actual 'hateful conduct' he would just have some zoomer stream the rallies for him on twitch so it was normal TV content.
But I mean according to the anti-trump people anything he says is hateful or racist or w/e so it fits with their world view.
Seeing the usual suspects with localization this time, bragging about ruining things others like for their purposes, despite having a cool style and me usually liking Atlus games I have to full on avoid this one.
Had to full on avoid SMTV:V as well since it had the same localizer, but I at least played the original V before that one came around, and it may have had some localization fuckery I'm unaware of too.
I don't think I have ever gotten past Naruto Ending 1 - Wind, it's a weirdly beautiful song and not quite like too many other anime openings/endings.
I also will always love Unravel for Tokyo Ghoul, I didn't even enjoy the anime much myself but I like the OP a lot.
I think that may be the way to go, I just am such an over the top introvert these days that I am not really looking to go out. I mean I work every week and enjoy spending time with my team to be honest, but that is just about all the social interaction I need at that point. By the time I am free for the weekend/evenings I just want to relax and look at dumb shit on the internet in between gaming.
But this is all some first world problem whiny shit, I'm not asking for anyone to solve my problems with this one, I've gotta make some changes myself.
I'd like to find something like that too, I get pretty sick of politics being the only type of content on every website I view.
I'd prefer to casually bounce between somewhere like here and x, but it just eventually wears me down as well.
So now, if you try to make this claim to the type of people that like this - they will aggressively point at the black women that helped do paperwork for the Apollo missions.
If you push back against this, they will make the claim that it was impossible without these black women, and that they wrote the entire launch plan, did all the calculations for orbit, etc.
If you attempt to provide any proof this wasn't the case they will send you clips of the movie they made years back about it.
So despite there still, including the women above, being no significant black female scientists or engineers, they have tricked themselves into believing there are.
I actually can't believe people can misunderstand incredibly clear and straightforward storytelling this extremely.
There is not a small number of demon defenders that have seen the show - they definitely didn't read the manga, as it is even more clear what the demons are since it isn't dubbed over and you don't have plausible deniability of misunderstanding the tone or words somehow.
This is like thinking that lava is redeemable if you are just friendly to it. Demons don't care about who you are, what you are, they view humans as less than insects and have absolutely no framework for anything that could be called morality.
There isn't even a single moment that has you "question the morality of the demons", the closest it gets is showing you that demons can fake the guise of humanity with the entire purpose of killing/eating/destroying all the humans around it.
Something that really sucks about this is that Scarlet/Violet really is a big improvement and big steps towards what pokemon could/should have been for years now.
Bigger world, non-linear path through the region, huge mix of different gens/forms of pokemon all over, them actually moving around the world and doing things within it, just tons of good improvements to the world itself.
But the characters are all amorphous, agender, ugly blobs. Every other NPC is some vague, ethnically ambiguous shade of brown. Most of them look like people you would make an active effort to avoid in public, just because they look like creepy freaks at a glance.
They had the design of characters and style down for like 20~ or so years, but the games were incredibly simple and basic forever. They got a step or two into the right direction and then sacrificed their appealing characters at the altar of diversity and making everyone ugly and mixed-race.
In a situation where he is an actual samurai (well aware he wasnt) they would have bowed to him, because he was a samurai, and because the Japanese for essentially all of their history have typically been a rule-following type of people
he wasnt a samurai and fuck them in general for making it, but within the frame of their retarded worldview and perspective it is likely they would bow to him and treat him respectfully if he were a samurai
I'm not so sure this is going to flop with the astro-turfing being done for it so far. I don't think normies can see through this type of stuff often, and my buddy who is very conservative, had no idea about any of these features and had only seen fluff on it so far but it was eye opening for him.
BG3 really popped off and while it wasn't full of tranny stuff per se it had plenty of degeneracy in it so I think their goal is to ride that wave. I just don't trust some braindead console-only ps/xbox normie to not understand this isn't a message/agenda-driven mess and just buy it anyway.
Why do you guys highlight her so much, talk about her so much?
I imagine if people stopped making YT videos about her, quoting/replying to her tweets, etc. Wouldn't she simply disappear? Non-terminally online people certainly have no idea she exists, so maybe I just need to get off the internet lol. Honestly probably just anyone not aware of culture war bullshit probably doesn't know she exists which is the vast majority of the world.
I'm just sick of talking about these retards, reading about these retards, and acting like their opinions hold any water or matter to us as anything other than something to mock. But the mocking gets old real quick for me I suppose.
