If they made a new Alien game, would the Alien be a tranny?

Funny you make that comparison. The Xenomorph from Alien was recently added to the roster of tranny-infested slasher game Dead by Daylight and has inspired a hearty dose of cope-fueled Reddit gender debates. See here. There are also rumours that one of the movie tie-in cosmetics for the character was cut due to it depicting the Alien as an outright hermaphrodite, but I don’t know enough about the movies to comment adequately on the situation.

I don't even grasp why tranny's want representation and not the experience of just running around as a true and honest woman in virtual space.

Because it’s not just about being women, it’s about being better than women.

You'd think so, but Volition unironically thought their Saints Row reboot was a good idea and launched it with the firm belief that the market would prove all those chuds wrong. Arrogance and hubris can really help carry bad ideas a long damn way before reality finally slaps it down.

I remember seeing on TWH3 thread someone saying that out of all the employees, only one person knows how the legacy system works. Would make sense if CA is aping 40K mechanicus and literally cannot know how its own shit works and just builds upon the old legacy code, explaining why features keep disappearing.

This is one of the bigger signs that the industry in general (or at least the mid- to big-tier studios) is rotting on the inside and unsustainable in its current form.

This notion of "there's only one greybeard left who knows how this [old] engine works" is such a bizarre concept to me (and my other colleagues -- though we don't work in the game industry). The (rhetorical) question this always raises is "why aren't there any newer developers around actively learning from the greybeard or just doing their jobs and reading the old code themselves and experimenting to glean how it works on their own?" The smart approach to development is to reuse what works and only replace/reimplement stuff that doesn't.

The answer of course is that the caliber of developer modern schools are cranking out can't do that. Engine changes don't happen on a whim, or just because they're "getting old," but because of brain drain and a lack of competent replacements.
 
If they're gonna make a shitpost of a video game, they should have gone all the way and made it offensive to EVERYONE. But that isn't happening because leftists are creatively bankrupt by design.



Troons are so despicable that making them the butt of jokes is a necessity.

You wouldn't believe the amount of critical infrastructure that's running on 60's tech that barely anyone still alive knows how to maintain let alone build again. This stuff is ancient but its reliable, almost bulletproof, and it was a huge investment which means it would take a similar if not bigger investment to replace with a more modern but unproven version so its left alone, "not broken, don't fix it".

One particular case I know is of a major industrial facility (wont powerlevel) that needed to fix systems that were written in FORTRAN which is even older than COBOL. The only guy still alive who had the knowledge to fix that had been retired for nearly 30 years, they sent company reps to find him camping near a lake only for him to tell them "I'm done with that", I shit you not its like something out of an action movie when they go looking for the hero except the guy was a literal pocket protector-wearing square glasses nerd from the space age.

It's kind of amazing no one thought "Hey, this infrastructure is from the fucking 60s. Maybe we should make plans to replace it soon since if it fails, we might be up shit creek without a paddle." ever since the 2000s (I can give a bit of grace period to the executives of the 70s-90s since the infrastructure wasn't ancient yet and the people working on it were still there). It really goes to show how short sighted business people really are and why America, Canada and Europe are so fucked up. This shit should either have been taught to newer employees at some point or just outright replaced, but I guess making money NOW beats long-term investments.

Shit, you remember the Alien-Human hybrid from Resurrection? They had to edit out the genitals on it because it grossed the editor out so much.
But the Xenomorph's is an "It." Not a he, she or a "they." It's an it. It's a fucked up space monster non-mammalian parasite creature. Worrying about its gender is missing the point.

The issue in modern gaming in my opinion is that studios are too fucking big and aspiring good developers are fucked doing menial tasks instead of headlining projects, which is done instead by people that actively hate gaming and good at politicking. It's better to those people to just work in regular hitech jobs that will give them more money rather than being in an even gayer copy of Hollywood. The same crisis will probably hit Japanese devs once they let go of their old guard and have no one good to replace them with.

They won't. Larry Fink has already "stepped back to spend time with his family". Vanguard, the other ESG investment firm, has done a 180 and started asking people for actual profitability. The whole ESG scheme was dependent on 0% interest loans from the Federal Reserve, and with the rate hikes causing the money to dry up, ESG is on its way out.

You'd think Kiwis of all people would be more up-to-date on these things...

And you rarely have to wait long to find a game. Compared to the ghost towns that are other online games, it's still thriving at nearly 2 decades young. It's no wonder Lord Gaben has a higher net worth than Trump.

Is this why good games are so rare? Someone truly ingenious can crank out a few hits and retire in luxury, while a mediocre developer must plug away at one dud after another?

I think any entertainment medium is gonna be like that. For every NYT Bestseller or Oscar nomination, there's dozens of pulps, lemons, and shovelware that came and went around it.

They said they would drop the term ESG and instead use the term "Inclusive Capitalism" since ESG had become hated by both the far-right and the far-left. (the far-left one surprised me somewhat as I haven't found any significant push-back against it from far-lefties, although ideologically it makes sense as it takes away from the whole class struggle thing)

People like this will just jump from term to term and company to company as they're exposed until they're dead. If blackrock ends up as complete poison it will just change name just like Academi private security used to go by Blackwater. Different name same people behind it.

A Mentiswave vid on the topic said the reason why ESG is so perennial is that it's a tool to push the Sustainable Development goals the US government adopted in the early 2000s using cronies as middlemen. The whole point is to be subtle (by US government standards), so no wonder a rebrand is necessary!

Nah, there are plenty of games and pieces of fiction with ugly characters that do fine and are even masterpieces.

The problem is these people are ugly on the inside as well. Not evil, but just utterly uninteresting and unsympathetic. This type of ugly is also just especially bad because actually terrible people or at the least dispassionate people made them to look good.

Yeah but not of all the heroes and main characters, in nearly every bit of fiction! That's the difference. And i wouldn't call super modern trends examples of it "working" since there is massive incentive to accept, support and defend such things.
 
Did the gaming industry seriously forget how to character concept? All of these look like shitty teenage SJW OCs. They look like cheap asset store trash. The best looking one is ironically the redneck guy.

If you're gonna gun for the big dogs, you have to at minimum be as aesthetically pleasing to look at as them. If Blizzard knows how to do one thing, it's to make sharp looking characters. Even the purposely ugly ones are aesthetically pleasing.
 
It's probably already been said a hundred times before in this thread already but I can't be asked to read through all the other replies to check:

Literally all the devs had to do was make this a furfag game and they'd be fucking rolling in money. Surely at least one of them had to know, right?
 
You could've told me that Hyenas was meant to be an expensive joke at the expense of SJWs everywhere and I'd believe you.

How far up your ass does one have to be to think that people would unironically ENJOY this concept? It's almost like they're making fun of themselves with their laughable character designs and backstory, but they were 100% serious that they think this is "cool."
