This is like that 30 Rock episode where Tina Fey had an emotional breakdown and started wearing a wedding dress everywhere until she broke down crying and eating a ham sandwich. Jerry Seinfeld was also there. It was much funnier than this. This is just depressing.

I don't want to blame these people for what they may not have done, but whoever thought 'sweet baby' was a good name for a video game sensitivity reader company probably has some level of brain damage. They seem completely deranged in all the stereotypical lefty activist ways. There's no amount of ass biting they don't deserve for trying to cancel a random dude on Steam for identifying their games.

It would be amazing, but it'd have to be a lot different. Ralph isn't exactly the type of guy who can pull off a successful kidnapping or, y'know, do anything that required physical activity.

The best way to do it would be in the style of a Law and Order: Criminal Intent episode, where it keeps switching between the perspective of the cops and the criminals. Raina Punjabi, long since given up her dream of making video games after the events of the original episode, has divorced her husband and is in an abusive, co-dependent relationship with Not-Ralph, who has revived the original Gamer Hate Group (K.O.B.S.) and makes terroristic threats while hosting a podcast. He rapes a chick in the bathroom of a gaming convention, and then starts making bomb threats and swatting people. Something cool and exciting to really hook the viewers in!

The big climax is Raina leaving him and helping the police find Not-Ralph and take him down, and she finally returns to making video games again! The Rage Pig, meanwhile, strips naked in a dark alley and wears a rotten pig head as a mask, and starts hacking people with a chainsaw while shouting "I DIDN'T SHIT MYSELF! IF I SHIT MYSELF I WOULD TELL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!" and the cops gotta stop him!

This might be late (and is definitely gay) but I'd bet the money in my pockets against the money in yours that the ESG/DIE push by Blackrock, Vanguard, et al is just BRICS all over again.

BRICS of course being a nonsensical package of lies and contradictions created by a Goldman Sachs trader in order to bamboozle rubes (either with 401Ks or running pension funds) into buying low quality but highly profitable (for Goldman) securities.

Now instead of "Invest in China, guaranteed returns! Pinky promise!" it's "Invest responsibility! Show everyone what a morally upright holder of correct opinions you are to liberal friends!".

Same shit, different package.

Oh it probably is, and I agree with the sentiment on the BRICS shit. Even outside of investors and 401k bullshit you had companies being scammed into developing products for BRICS that never made it to those places(because they didn't have power or infrastructure to make use of a $5 wifi router and crap like that) and just wound up in biglots/ollies/etc. and then eventually the landfill. Saw it happen myself when it was still just BRIC before they tried tacking on South Africa of all fucking places to it... you know, the country that used to have infrastructure and now can't keep power on regularly? Those places need a lot more than cheap tech bullshit.

Oh, you can't imagine. Games used to be a way to explore different worlds, new stories, escape reality and maybe stress from work, just a way to enjoy and relax. But now you have game characters reminding you to be sensitive towards fucking fictional characters. In The Evil Within 2 (would have never expected that from a Japanese studio), a side character, a Japanese psychologist, reprimands the protagonist for using the word psycho when talking about the antagonist, who is a fucking psycho. She says "we psychologists don't appreciate the use of the term psycho". Or in Square Enix' game Final Fantasy 14, the leatherworker talks about morals of killing animals for making leather and that many quit the job because it is too much to bear.

That honestly doesn't sound too far off from what an actual psychologist would say, I can personally vouch for that.

The most ludicrous part of this is the implication that Japan has psychologists.

The most generic and predictable lefty culture war shit ever, "muh fascist gamergate", you could throw it all into an ai and it would be indistinguishible. I wonder if Kotaku's audience consists solely of redditors, r/gaming circlejerk ones at that.

Since we are sperging about the current state of Games in 2024, I want too screech about Guerilla Games. They created the Killzone franchise. That gave us the fucking Helghast.
View attachment 5794310

They then went in a different direction with Horizon Zero Dawn, but that was still a GREAT game despite its woke elements. I really jived with the Tech Bros causing the robot apocalypse thing. And the concept of family and motherhood was genuinely heartfelt and tugged at the feels.

Then they released Horizon Forbidden West.

Aloy went from smoking hot Red Headed Tomboy to Body Positive

View attachment 5794328

And too add final insult to injury they made her fucking gay. A complete slap to the face from the other games themes of just how important motherhood and family is. Nah, throw that out the window for a virtue signal about being LGBTQBBQ in the post apocalypse.

I supsed DEI consultants had alot too do with it. The themes between the first and second games were jarring. The quality was worse too. Nothing was improved on with the game play. It was the exact same shit, but worse.
Click to expand...

Horizon had great gameplay and the opening bit with the father figure was a good hook but they did the whole "everywhere is cosmopolitan NYC" thing and tried to explain it in the lore but it still made no sense and all the NPCs talked like modern people despite living a low tech existence of suffering and tribalism... and then as the plot drags on it gets more and more woke as they introduce, hard core constructivism ("if only the library module had survived!"), hyper-incompetent male CEO to blame for everything, Alloy as Mary Sue past and present...

It could have been so much better if they didn't dilute and pozz the world.

I actually have a sci-fi plot kicking around in my head that sounds a lot like Horizon at first glance. Bait and switch starts off like a fantasy and turns into sci-fi... Tribal matriarchy living in the garden of Eden where the sacred mother tree(s) take care of all needs... but eden is dying, fruits are withering, branches grow gnarled and crooked, eventually it is revealed that their whole world was genetically engineered and that mutation (accelerated by radiation) is driving everything off the rails... but nobody can understand or fix this because the very nature of this Eden removes the need for hunting, development, exploration, engineering (masculine things) and erases those traditions and ideas over generations.... Enter 2nd and 3rd parties and the plot goes from there.

For me it is. I would expect something like "this is a job not everyone can deal with" or "hunting animals is not for the weak mind" or "this job requires a lot of skill and coming to terms with using animals to produce goods" or something. But guilt tripping is not down my alley when offering a job is not the best approach in my opinion. There is beauty in leatherworking, killing animals is part of the job and either you do it or you feel guilty and cry about facts that animals can be used to produce different goods that can be used for making food or clothing.
For me, the approach of "this profession makes people sad" is annoying. It reminds me of how now the companies are heavily advertising their meat with "fair to the animal". You can't be fair to something to kill to made food out of it. You can make sure the animal isn't coming from a mass factory and other cruel ways of meat productions, but you can't make it ethical or morally right. You can go to a local farmer where the animals live on fenced pastures and farmers don't rely heavily on chemicals and antibiotics to stop animals from getting sick. This is how it's used to be until the mass factories came to power and started replacing local farmers. My main point is: what sense does it make to guilt trip when it's the logical consequence that you'll kill an animal? Does the game want me to not pick leatherworking because killing animals is bad? Why even offer it then?

The fuck do I need to be sensitive about? I am sensitive to them of course, in the act of sympathizing with them over their struggle and why they fight. The thin skinned asswipes who push pampered horseshit onto actual writers with no experience of living in the actual world have never learned of extreme poverty and knowing that nature is also not all that kind either. FFXI's Beastmaster class deliberately made you fight your newly recruited monster pal to finish the battle. I doubt either than anyone in the worlds of the games I've played tolerates monsters for being voracious terrifying and awful creatures who would wipe out entire communities and prey upon people in the most brutal and slowest, blood curdling ways. Also, psychologists aren't to be trusted either, be it in real life or in fiction. They're the people who run the decision if you need to be put away for their definition of normal (and knowing bias, that shit doesn't go away no matter how cold of a person you seem to be) or need to numb your brain for their convenience (and wallets) than to ever come to terms with your actual feelings and find catharsis to move on.

If we think back like 2 decades ago, the media always has been on a crusade against games. I immediately think of when a German teenager ran amok with a gun in a school in the early 2000s and immediately everyone jumped on "ego shooter breed killers". This video is in German but several German public news station started talking about "killer games force kids to kill other players or they will get hurt themselves". The whole way they talk about the game is mental. And there's no proof the kid played all of these evil brutal "killer games". Germans literally call them killer games and not ego shooters. It was a controversial debate, every newspaper, every news station and political discussion was full with "we have to ban those killer games" and they included games like Half Life whenever they reported on it. The video I linked is one I was able to find quickly about this exact case, the guy in the video debunks the claims from the news station --> "hose killer games were released for players age 16+" but in reality it was 18+. And not even in German... Maybe YouTube offers auto translation because this "ban killer games" movement from early 2000s was showing how blatantly the news lie about things. Suddenly, games like Counterstrike and Half Life were seen as the reason why teenagers turn violent, it wasn't being a social outcast and getting bullied.

What's funnier is that when Sweet Baby was blowing up, the last actual remnants of GG on 8/v/ were just doing their typical thing of jerking off to NTR porn and talking about the age of consent. These are the scary "fascists" they think will rise up and march in their jackboots to lynch all women and minorities or whatever the fuck these retards think, nevermind the fact that last remaining "leaders" of GG are some washed up grifting e-celebs, a fat mentally retarded jew and some pedophile who sold people out to the feds with a genuine blacked cuckolding fetish. Yep, real hardcore fascists right here!

They banned talk about this on their official discord on sight. Because nobody was causing problems other than the troons.

They had it made loud and clear very early on that if they want problems, cater to troons.
