He’s right, but not for the reason he thinks. AAAs continuing to prove indies are the best place to find interesting games.

Bummer :/

If it’s a site you use often, right-click and “block element” is your friend. Might be able to sus out a universal block as well if you dig around the different elements there.

If the rest of those turned their crimes into social media hustles, the cops would have a much easier time.

Interesting. Thanks!

It’s not so much “built in” asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don’t: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

Are there other versions of connect or strands? I don’t mind not playing those, but having alternatives would be nice.

I have enough shit to go around.

He claims he did. This tweet seems like plenty enough to render his claims in anything suspect at best.

Tfw your mountain is defaced by being enfaced.

Arguing a single point ≠ claiming to be “right all the time”. What’s your next condescending bit of “advice” that’s totally not a poorly disguised character attack?

Apologizing? For what?

Lol. The admonishment for “misusing” gamergate by citing horseshoe theory as if it’s in any way applicable is hilariously on point. Good luck with that “enlightened” centrism.

What does this even mean?

Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled.

You didn’t read my comment, did you? Like the part where I specifically mention that? I don’t care if the scene was shot on a camcorder for a student created after-school special on a PTA budget. Acting like that’s the problem instead of any of the reactionary bullshit to it is not the viewpoint of someone who truly cares about these populations. Where’s the “helpful” article about shitty hetero romance scenes in countless movies/shows/games and how we should do better there? Those don’t cause a blip. But this? This is a “problem”. Fuck that.

and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

This reads like those losers that rage about black people in The Witcher because it’s “noT hIStoRIcaLlY AccuRAtE”. Bemoaning “modern terminology” is so pointless. They’re also speaking modern languages through the majority of the game. Gonna write a Forbes “article” about that, too?

I just want to voice my opinion that not every article about video games needs to be shared/promoted, particularly gamergate-lite shit like this. “Only” whinging about how non-cis white male characters are included in games is hardly any better than the chuds bombing the game on metacritic.

I’d also argue this violates your own sub’s rule (rule 9), not because it’s about “political” genders, but for explicitly calling peoples’ existence “political messaging”.

Depends on how you view the monarchy, I suppose.

EA: It’s in the grave!

(Hopefully)

Journalists really milking that headline.
