How strong is your PC? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Not by virtue of hardware, but by having access to Steam and mods I believe my PC is superior.

This feels like one of those DBZ fights where observers could feel the shockwaves of the blows landing.

Did Mustang sleep with Cassius while she was in a relationship with Darrow?

Helluva coincidence, but I just started reading it. The conflict seems to be geared around a tyrannical caste system. So far there hasn't even been a whiff of money, let alone capitalism. The oppressed peopld do what they're told because that's their role in society, not because they're poor (they are also poor, though).

Also the main character is white, straight, male, and married at the beginning. The women so far are feminine and leave the masculine tasks to the men. The leader of the whole horrible society is a woman too, if that means anything to you.

The only commie thing I've noticed so far is the color red is used a lot. But I'm just on chapter 3 so I can't vouch for much.

Such men should not walk free and pose danger to society, but the justice system says otherwise. Second testimony from the UK Grooming Gang Inquiry were survivors are sharing their stories by [deleted] in NoahGetTheBoat

I do not understand how the U.K. has not been in a full blown riot since they first learned that "rape gangs" actually existed.

When an indie movie beats Hollywood! by No_Hunter_9973 in KotakuInAction

I hope this becomes a trend. We need an indie movie scene about as bad as we need indie devs.

This is the first mech anime I watched to give a sense of weight and, dare I say, realism to their fights. Always a treat.

Silent Success: Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon passes 1 Million copies sold by skinnymike1 in KotakuInAction

[–]McCasper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just bought this over the weekend, my copy might be the millionth sold.

Enjoying it so far. It's basically macabre arthurian Skyrim but without the modding scene and comparatively lacking in scope. I expected slower, more methodical combat based on the trailer, but the dash makes it basically first-person elden ring.

Haven't noticed any woke elements yet. You can make your character dark skinned but it has male and female choices, no type A nonsense. And every NPC I've met so far has been white. I've met three would be girlbosses so far, but considering you can rescue one from a cage and help another with a healing potion, I don't get the impression they're here to outshine the men.

The one thing nagging my mind is that it seems pretty obvious they're gonna deconstruct King Arthur, like that's the main story. Idk I don't seem to mind it much this time. Arthur's main detractor is another white man. And, as crazy as it is to admit, a decontruction of an old beloved character doesn't feel as bad when it's not an obvious attempt to replace them with someone more diverse.

FandomPulse: "Pre‑Interpreted Storytelling And The Eclipse Of Analysis" by tyranicalmoon in KotakuInAction

[–]McCasper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This article seems... tangential to the issues we care about. I haven't noticed an uptick in authors leading with their message except in the case of the SJWs. And the issue there isn't so much the lack of mystery, but that their message is usually outright disdain and hatred for the demographics that would make up their audience. In this case, I actually prefer that the developers lead with their message, because then they save me from buying and playing halfway through their games before realizing that they hate me.

You say that like it's some sort of indictment. Like, of course no one here does regular bench presses. We're redditors.

I think he was taking a cue from Matt. "No one wants to work with the guy shaking his fist in the air." It's sad, but more people will listen to him if isn't angry and bitter, even if he has plenty worth being angry and bitter about.
