This is the only design that I truly can't get over.
Outside of being fat, outside of not being fuckable, why does it look like he's wearing random thrifted garbage?
Is it part of his backstory? That he grabbed whatever was laying around in his great-aunt's garage and went out to save the galaxy or whatever? It looks so intentionally amateur that I can't believe it wasn't a design choice to make him "endearingly frumpy" rather than "badass."
idk alana and others have talked about 5 being seen as bad but i think working functionally should only get you a guaranteed 4. below average minimum for your game then. idk where this idea comes from that 5 is just this cookie you give out. imo since ign covers mainly large studio releases 5 should be like a shelf filler but buy kinda deal. like a game you buy if its kinda middling but maybe you like the gimmick or meh its open world and the studios green so the lore kinda sucks but its kinda neat looking and you can have running around a bit and messing with things. if you cant recommend it to buy as a meh sort of game then its a 4 at best even if it functions.
It's also insulting that Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown got 5s and even 6s from gaming journalists, even though parts of the game don't even work, i.e. the many server issues the game had since launch, and the massive amount of bugs. (the devs literally said that the next patch will attempt to fix 300 bugs) A game in that state should be getting more 2s, 3s, and 4s instead.

A game in that state shouldn't have fucking been released because the publisher knew it was shit.
Imagine if you went to the grocery store, home improvement store, sporting goods store, etc. and 50% of the products there to buy just didn't fucking work until some random point in the future after you've already made the purchase, and sometimes not even months later?
apparently over the last couple of days, the godot official twitter has been going absolutely insane blocking everyone they can because it's run by this sparkling example of humanity: murderveggie on xitter | archive
this coming after the twitter apparently attempted to embrace a 'woke' label when given it by some random nobody troll who was clearly fucking with people.
the context posted under is an obvious troll.
apparently this dumb bitch blocked an individual who is a big supporter of godot.
for some reason he thinks he might get better treatment on discord, so he goes there and asks to be unblocked, much more politely, i might add, than i would be for sure. only for the tranny jannies to go full authoritarian and sweep it all up, while allegedly allowing people flaming him to continue unmolested.
for the vile crime of daring to ask to be unblocked as a huge supporter (100 Euro per month according to godot's website) he was muted and told to think about what he was doing, intentionally trying to own the libs that way.
(side note, look how many of these servers have fag flags on them)
so knowing how it's going even for people who are paying customers of the godot engine, let's check in on the creator of godot, i'm sure he's issuing a level-headed and calming response that will really soothe the problems that gamers have had lately.
this is the industry that birthed concord. it's only going to get worse for them before it gets better. they let these leftist faggot types infest their studios. i guarantee you without a shadow of a doubt that this sort of cockroach makes its nest quite comfortably within sony's different american branches, and if this is any indication, it would seem these types have not learned anything from the absolute disaster that concord became. let it all burn to the ground.
I'm playing the devil's advocate: The creator of Godot is burning his own creation and reputation to the ground. He wasn't responsible for developing a 200+ million dollar disaster. He hired or let someone hire mentally ill tranny freaks and seemingly agrees with them. I'd rather have these faggots destroy their own work.
Anyone involved mention how much the donations have been affected aside from the couple of people mentioned? I'm sure it had to take a hit aside from them.
For the sake of keeping an eye on it, here's where it's at right now.
Her summary is that game journos play more games on average than us and thus the games we see get rated 7/10, 70/100, etc fall into that because they've played more 1-6 rated games. Of course the problem is that they almost never review the 1-6 rated games(because they only want to review the big AAA games since those are the ones that get clicks) so the entire bottom half of the scale may as well not fucking exist.
The answer is much simpler than that. 70% in school means "passing, but barely," while anything below 60% is a failing grade. The average grade in most courses is about 75%, not 50%. Game journos have been approaching the 1-10 scale with the "7 is passing" mentality forever.
You'd think it would be obvious but I've heard some pretty stupid bullshit in my time.
Now I don't know what possesses me to say this but it's been pulling at my subconscious like some kind of malignant spirit; on the subject of the game this thread is actually about, I actually like the design of Green Man Not-Starlord. Boring hot sauce personality and apparent man bun aside, I could play a game as that green dude.

Godot needs to go away. There's no point in a so-called "game engine" where if you remotely disagree with the insane cunt apparently in charge of who is allowed to sponsor the project, you're immediately banned from all input.
Just quit supporting this fake project, it isn't a real game project, it's just a fake SJW joke.

I feel like this (Godot in general) either deserves it's own thread, or should be posted on something like the Sweet Baby Inc. thread cause it's more of a general wokeness & DEI thread now.
I wanted to write more updates on this situation, but I kinda ended up with an entire write-up on it. I'm trying to limit myself here due to the 10 pic rule. Apparently the replies also count in that rule, so I had to remove pics from that for my comment. WTF Null?
Edit: I somehow managed to put the pictures in, & I'm gonna christen this faggotry with it's own symbol.
I kinda feel bad about removing the OP's pictures, so I'm gonna put in as many of those as I can too.
This is the tweet that started it all. This led to Godot going full retard later.
The funniest part is that "anti-woke" people weren't even going after Godot, their CM just decided to insert the company they represent into a divisive political topic & then started banning people. Not just from social media, but going scorched earth & even banning people from Github now too (I didn't even knew you could do that on GitHub), literally going against the core values of open-source. Mind you, this puts forth a major baffling fact that a Community Manager has access to the repo (I was very wrong about this, there's a worse lore to it later).
Now, to talk out of my ass for a bit, I'd like to include this might actually be illegal too. See, Godot is licensed under the MIT License, which is one of the most permissive open source licences. At the very least, any blocked devs are legally entitled to fork the project & essentially tell the authors to go dilate troonnigger.
By the way, this is not even including things such as basic Tortious Interference with businesses that use Godot being affected by this (we gotta get Ty Beard on this, /sneed), & probably the discrimination claims too, at least in the UK, if this is about Gender Critical beliefs.
Now, the person behind this entire thing:
Nat/@murderveggie [Better Archive]
This is my personal autism, but this DP rainbow ring is essentially a virtual septum ring (or as I call it, cattle ring) at this point.
The cliff notes version of this would be: > Godot has insane forward momentum after Unity basically committing career suicide.
> Gained massive amount of support, even monetary.
> Unquestionably seen as "the good guys"
> Gets a green danger-haired community manager.
> Everything catches fire immediately.
Now to get into what makes it so retarded:
Godot's official account later joined in with this retardation with their "Wokot" moment.
Of course, non wokes called this out too, & this is one of the most famous ones.
Because he later got banned on Twitter.
Starkium, the creator of Life Art Studios, got banned for wrongthink, despite being a Titanium member. For those who have no idea, that is around $111/£100 per month. He has self-admittedly been a member for around 15 months, so he has basically donated around £1500 by this point. Honestly, this shit is worth calling the bank & telling them to charge back every amount paid to that account. I checked, & you can still find his name there.
He tried to appeal on Discord later too.
He didn't get any updates on this for a while... until he did. He got timed-out.
By the way, the green danger-hair wasn't the one behind this. This is the tranny janny that timed him out, said jannie basically indirectly calls Starkium a "reactionary chud" despite the fact that the entire server was shitting on him. Basically, the mod is a fucking redditor.
What makes this even worse is that if you look at the Twitter timings, they blocked & only gave him around one hour, let the timer run out, & THEN responded with his retarded remarks. Also, while it's not mentioned in his main tweets, he confirms in the comments that he was essentially berated in the #off-topic chat by the other members (mainly the LGTVQHD+ ones) of the Discord server.

People have found out even more shit since, one of which being that apart from Redditors & power maniac danger-hairs, they might also have woke Arabs who might be going through Troll's Remorse.
I present thee all, xananax:
Here's him responding to the entire drama:
Here's his troll's remorse being found out:
I also found his Reddit account, & it's as schizophrenic as you would imagine.
In fact, the entire Discord server seems to have a bit of history on saying nigger, & many of it's variations a lot such as sand nigger, snow nigger, etc.
Now, one would imagine that some inexperienced idiolog got promoted to the head of the company in charge of Godot & now is imposing all their ideological points on the customer base. That, or Unity sent a sleeper agent to Godot after the commercial suicide they did once, to make a sleeper cell, which is now activated just after Unity made its comeback by removing it's infamous installation fee (still no source code available tho). Honestly, I joke about Unity, but they also do this kind of shit [GA] (archive today doesn't work with the main site, so I archived the Ghost Archive, which also didn't work). But seriously, imagine your biggest competitor considered almost a colossus you can't beat, suddenly fucks up extra fuckenningly, & now you have a sudden chance to dethrone them & take their place... And you fumble even harder.
Guess what, you'd be right on the former, for as it turns out the real perpetrator behind all is their Project Manager, Rémi Verschelde (@akien) (why is it always the fucking Frenchie?) who according to this tweet* (Full details mentioned below) by King Harkinian (@Mahboiii) is a bigtime true-believer Activist who wants to use the project/engine as a means to spread his Far-Left political beliefs.
*@Mahboiii's tweet is actually pretty detailed, but I found some extra stuff since that might help support & call it out at the same time.
Juan Linietsky (@reduzio) is not a political guy. He has some "enemies" but clearly dodges politics like the plague. His twitter is 99% technical & he always gives your typical naive responses to anything political ("I don't believe in conspiracy theories" or "this policy is about equality, there's no problem with it" even as it gets everyone banned for not being far left). He worked on Godot for nearly 10 years, carried it & basically developed it alone for a long time.
There have been numerous odd signs around Godot in the past 6 months to a year.
Yuri Sizov (@YuriSizov), who was one of the top contributors, suddenly got fired. The weird part about it is that he stayed very active & tried supporting the engine even after he got fired, so clearly didn't want to be kicked out. When people asked in the old Discord about why, the answer was an incredibly strange "we can't say, if Yuri wants to talk about it, he will", which makes no sense. Either he was fired for a clear reason, either he left & doesn't wanna say why. The guess is that he was fired for purely political reasons. He's Russian, he was fired over Ukraine war reasons & basically not wanting to say "Russia is evil". You can have your own opinions about him not being against his own country, but he clearly didn't bring politics in the engine & his work was top tier, has numerous blogposts on the official Godot website too. He was heavily dogged around by an (obviously Ukrainian) hater, but that guy got kicked out of the engine too & still goes around throwing hate posts, including against Linietsky.
My intuition to put this in the SBI thread was actually validated, cause apparently while Akien was bitching about Gamergate 2: Electric Troonaloo because of Kabrutus' SBI Steam Curator, Yuri was for it & against the retard war & basically BTFO'd Remy with good logic.
Some few months ago, the current CM Nat (@murderveggie) was introduced. Green hair & all. 2 things happened since:
> They immediately decided that the longstanding Godot Discord server, now renamed Godot Café, was just "not good enough" despite years of good functionality and a community of 90K+, & wanted an "official server". The justification for the official server was to "prevent hostile takeovers" & "get the people the moderation they deserved". I.E. a power grab. This was the green haired trolls wanting full control of the system & ability to ban anyone they didn't like. Apparently the new server is full of far left crap and every obsession with LGTVQHD+ shit being enforced as the main subject, while the old Godot Café is still active, fully apolitical & is all about Godot & game-dev.
> The new server was followed by a new Code of Conduct which was, through & through, about far left shit. It was basically "kiss the troon girlcock, or get banned". It's still the functional hub of historical Godot users.
Juan is basically the scrapegoat here, cause the real culprit behind this all might actually be their Project Manager, Rémi Verschelde (@Akien), who is a known far left advocate & has many, many political posts. To illustrate just how far left the guy is, I (@Mahboii) remember this kind of conversation:
Linietsky: "This engine is so everyone can do gamedev, it's not really about the poor or the rich or any political camp"
Verschelde: "I wouldn't say that, we're doing this engine for a good cause, to push the right camp up"
Words are apocryphal, but the spirit is that. Linietsky always did this with the intent to make Godot a true FOSS engine. Akien/Verschelde absolutely wants to use it as a vessel to push the "right" ideologies & concepts forward. His twitter is full of political crap & has been for years.
There's also self-admitted evidence of him being behind the GitHub banning, so it's not as retarded as CMs having access to repos.
Hell, he even admitted to a 3rd one later.
The reason as to why Akien was allowed to push his little far left scumbag friends is because he is the project manager & effectively merges nearly all pull requests to the engine. Typical far left/commie tactic of holding control over what gets in & what doesn't. I don't know if he's abused that position or not.
To summarise: > Linietsky is an apolitical trying to please everyone and is being manipulated into taking all the pressure and conflict, and is entirely the victim here. > Akien/Verschelde might be the one to be fully the one pushing for leftoid infestation of Godot & to have been the one pushing for this CM (& to be forcing them to stay in right now). > People like Yuri Sizov shouldn't have been fired & were fired for political reasons. > Linietsky needs to be spared, not pressured. > Akien should be directly seen as the problem.
However, despite that whole tweet, I believe that Godot's creator, Juan Linietsky isn't entirely innocent as also in that post it paints the man as huge pushover as a result of being a people-pleaser who's too nice for his own good, kinda like the Skullgirls drama. Also, he has gone protected mode & locked his account.
However, multiple accounts beforehand tried to show the situation to him, he just doesn't care or even endorses it.
Also, people are already forking Godot, so now there's MAGE (this removes the MIT bullshittery), PlumAI (an AI powered Godot), ReDot (pretty much the most famous fork), etc.
Godot needs to go away. There's no point in a so-called "game engine" where if you remotely disagree with the insane cunt apparently in charge of who is allowed to sponsor the project, you're immediately banned from all input.
Just quit supporting this fake project, it isn't a real game project, it's just a fake SJW joke.

I can't think of any other place to post this, but the Godot Foundation has responded
I can't tell what's the funniest thing here honestly. This is so beyond pathetic at this point that isn't even funny in the slightest anymore is just boring to see & read. Literally not even an apology, “we’re sorry you guys hate this Evil political radical system we’re pushing, but that’s hate speech so go fuck yourselves. Still give us money though". Also, "A tweet that led to harassment". Play the victim, even if it doesn't make any logical sense just play the victim. That's the only weapon they want to use.
Also, "We firmly stand by our mission to keep our community spaces free from hate, discrimination, & other toxic behaviors" is basically saying that "we will continue to do this to people who don't agree with us because we're not going to focus on the engine & still do woke non-sense". Then there's the "Not hired” because they're jannies, so by technicality, they do it for free.
Also, "Not a spokesperson” Bullshit, community managers are by definition spokesperson as soon as you give a person power in your community, you’re responsible for what comes out of their mouth.
$50 on the tranny janny threatens the lead devs/lead team with doxes/porn/transphobia/rape threats, so they have to comply otherwise the tranny turns onto them.
The Death of the Game video is actually pretty well done...well, the first part of it anyways. It's pretty much made in the same way he does every single one of his other videos and it's a good way to get a glimpse as to non-woke reasons why the game failed(believe me, there is still plenty).
Where he shits the bed is the second part of the video which is just seething at the chuds for questioning his precious DEI. I didn't get too far into this section but I did get far enough to see what the rest of the video was going to be.
Examples offered within the first few minutes as to why Concord is "not woke":
*If these multi-million corporations are woke, why do they still make money and appeal to the wide masses?(Not related to Concord, and the example here is McDonalds. He shows footage of the most disgusting commercial I have ever seen in my life, as if I needed even less reason to eat that slop)
*Strawmans all people talking about Concord being woke(it is) as some sort of grifters who just like laughing at women(too hot to touch the fags/minorities, huh?) and does this libshit thing where he does a baby mocking voice with a stupid argument nobody would ever make to make his opponents look stupid(has the exact opposite effect)
*Claims Sweet Baby Inc. dindu nuffin and are wrongly accused by chuds because...not every single game they were involved in bombed, and therefore they shouldn't get any blame for the games that did.
*Claims Sony isn't a woke company(the point in which I started laughing and turned off the video)
Looking forward to seeing his Suicide Squad video if he copes about that game not being woke as well.
I think the most damning thing in that video is actually seeing the footage of the game itself, as you cannot play it yourself since the game is DEAD LOL!
It is the most generic, uninspired shooter I have ever seen. It would have flopped even without DEI stuff, that was just cherry on top. My beloved Daw here is probably unironically the most memorable thing about this game and only because he's been memed to death as the poster boy for this woke, by-committee design that appeals to nobody.
