Well, well, look, who came crawling back, guess that layoffs didn't fixed everything huh?:

Ah, its the Hyperlight Drifter guys, I had to look them up because I couldn't remember what they did , lol.

Eternal reminder (from the HLD credits under "Special Thanks"):

What they did was ruin any possible franchise they had by including both Anita Sarkeesian and Chelsea van Valkenburg ("Zoe Quinn") in it.

I always go back to Mass Effect Andromeda. The males looked just their face models, the women were turned into fish eyed abominations. Another example is the Ubisoft 2B cameo. And of course, the east have no issue with it. You can make the argument that they're incompetent, but that's not really a win. I still think it's done maliciously.

I don't think this is restricted to games. I think there’s an intentional strategy that’s done where heterosexual erotic themes or just, you know attractive character design aesthetics in popular art forms are censored and repressed, and then you get every he/him or they/them nerd (some of whom are well entrenched in the entertainment industry) saying “just watch porn my dude it’s that simple". Things must either be bland and sexless, or outright pornographic. Nothing outside of those two things, which leads to, again: “What’s the matter? Just go watch porn bro!” To these people, a female character in a string bikini is a bridge too far. They can't comprehend that people can like fanservice without it being jackoff material. There's no difference, apparently, between Bayonetta and "Nasty Backdoor Whores, Vol. 25". Zero difference between some shovelware porn game and, say, Rainbow Mika wearing a revealing outfit.

The sort of people who think female characters in fighting games like Street Fighter need to wear more concealing outfits and cheer on censorship are the same ones telling you to watch graphic pornography instead. A lot of these people are the same whiners who say that film crews should have “intimacy coordinators”.

An increasing number of people, if you can classify them as that, make it incredibly plain they believe that sensuality and sexuality should only exist in an explicit pornographic context. It is a very anti-human idea.

The same people that cheer for censorship also advocate for pornographic books in school libraries and for weirdos in revealing fetish outfits to give speeches at children.

 

[Xenomorphs Are Cute]

I get that, but it’s like the people who say “umm akshually they/them has been used as a singular pronoun for hundreds of years so it’s perfectly normal sweaty ”; it’s technically accurate, but 90% of the people who say Xmas don’t know/care about that historical context and only use it as a way to avoid saying Christ.

There's also the 10% who write X-Mas cause it's short, same with B'day. They're just too lazy to write the whole thing. I can assure you this is true, because I'm one of them.

 

[just Reading a post]

how talented Debra Wilson is.

She is very talented. She shuts her mouth on social media about social issues. And has become the industry go to for face scanning.
But what is happening to her is what i call the Jack Black effect.
She is over exposed, in nearly everything and general audiences are getting bored of looking at her. Nothing to do with politics, race relations or anything like that.
Jack Black is suffering the same thing. Same with The Rock. They are just taking every paycheck and lazy film execs and game devs are just banking on a rotating line up of these people.
Debra Willson fighting Jedis, Debra Willson fighting Nazis, Debra Willson fighting the Combine.
I remember that picture that floated on /v/ about how the game devs were all obsessed with black women with hoop earrings and afros across like 6 different games. A number of them were face scanned Debra.

I can get that for a short enough post, and I’ll take your word for it, but I call bullshit when someone types out 1-2 long paragraphs and decides “hmm yes THIS is the one specific word I want to save 0.8 seconds on typing” when nothing else indicates that they’re trying to be concise. It’s too (((coincidental))).

You have every right to call bullshit on that because most people who make the claim are lying.

I liked Jedi Fallen Order. It was pretty good imo. Wolfenstein 2 was decent too. Despite that game being woke asf.

I'm gonna be honest if I had video games where I could see and hear my grandparents I'd probably own three copies of each.

An increasing number of people, if you can classify them as that, make it incredibly plain they believe that sensuality and sexuality should only exist in an explicit pornographic context. It is a very anti-human idea.

Anti-human idea? During substantial part of human history any sort of sensuality or sexuality was associated with immorality, let alone pornography. Substantial parts of the world still maintain such unspoken outlook of "keep your kinks to yourself", as if it's some kind of infectious disease. The truly weird thing is, why do lefties find appeal in such ideas? I guess it is a bizarre balancing act of promoting sexual liberation while simultaneously opposing objectification, but issue is that what does and does not constitute objectification gets murky the more you analyze it.

Going back to pornography, being a porn actor is just about the most objectifying job you can possibly do, as it remains one of the few jobs where you can be legally rejected purely based of race, because the porno shoot may be looking for a black dude, not a white person for a specific shoot. There likely are entire porn companies that specialize in "blacked" content and thus will exclusively hire black guys, and it works vice versa and in hundreds of other different ways with dozens of different races, ages, genders, etc. It is a workplace defined by you being hired off of your physical traits, that could rival haplogroup theory enthusiasts. Like we all accept it as normal, but it's still kind of funny when you think about it. The closest thing I hear leftists discussing in regards how to minimize objectification in pornography is letting female actors becoming directors of their own shoots, but that's about it. I have not seen any discussion on whether or not it is ethical for a porno shoot to reject a black guy, purely because the director specifically demands a white guy instead. Like that's the kind of stuff that would never happen during the development of Netflix historical dramas.

I suspect that amongst leftist circles only nerds really read theory or really think about what objectification really means or what it implies, and so it kind of ends up being a nebulous concept in the mainstream, that people end up applying to anything they don't like.

@Skylavijas I think this is a rabbit hole that they won't dig into, since you know... Sex work is real work, sexual positivity or pornbrain and all that jazz.

Let’s get back on topic, tits are great, but why should I have to go through a bunch of obnoxious accessibility menus to start a game before installing? Can’t retards get their helper to go to set that shit for them?

Never had experience of this from the games I've played, besides there being "color blindness" features being tucked away somewhere in the options menu... the closest thing I can think of is me being forced to install a whole separate storefront launcher to play a game I bought on steam, which does absolutely suck donkey dick.

I've never run into this. About the only settings I can recall ever needing to set before just getting to the game itself(other than adjusting graphics/sound/etc.) are things like brightness adjustment, and maybe language/subtitles.
