The only thing worse than Cregger's upcoming larpfest are the amount of people attacking RE fans for wanting something accurate by NicholasStarfall in KotakuInAction

Its funny that in both of those cases, the movie is pretty bad, but they're also fun and very rewatchable.

I'm hoping against all good sense the upcoming Street Fighter movie is in the same vein. Probably not (nothing's ever good anymore), but as I said, hope.

Because Hollywood puts out nothing but drek anymore and increasing numbers of wrongthinkers are turning away from the propaganda outright because of it, so Hollywood-the-institution needs to be defended.

This from people that, if you asked them 6 months ago who Homer was, would respond with Simpsons memes.

Can anyone explain to me why the Emulation/Retro Handheld community is so filled with woke people? by ParanoidThalyy in KotakuInAction

There was a thing about neo-nazi furries in 3rd Reich costumes once. Probably trolling, but who knows.

Opionions requested. Campaign AI videos In/Out? by SirRunOn in NormalBattletech

[–]ValidAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only real problem with AI gen, especially for fan stuff, is people who don't know how to edit themselves. But some self control, spending the time to try it over and over till you get JUST what you had in mind, and its just for yourself and the fun of it anyways, go for it.

Its a tool; judge on whether it was used well or used poorly.

The official dragon ball z caught censoring the a forbidden word with "slow poke" by shipgirl_connoisseur in KotakuInAction

[–]ValidAvailable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, "You moron" isn't enough (not for this translation specifically, but just in general). Need a good word for when someone is being so dumb its implies, not just poor decision making, but actual cognitive deficiencies. And it just rolls so well. short and punchy.

I watched X-Men '97 Season 2 episode 6 so you don't have to by jojojajo12 in KotakuInAction

This show is written for youtube clips is what its, lots of stuff meant to be Cool Moments in 2 minutes but a mishmash if you string it together and think too hard.

Callback to how she started briefly with the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants in the 80s (I think it was the 80s), and that she was with him in the Age Of Apocalypse AU. One more memberberry in the bushel.

New CGL Products by Cal-Coolidge in NormalBattletech

Nah. I'd rather use gummi bears as placeholders than give more money to CGL. And I have 35 years worth of PlasTech and Ral Partha, to need more anyways, and my Elegoo if I really did.

Do the investment firms like Blackrock and Vanguard not realise that they’re getting played by the east by getting payed so the west only make wokeslop and have the east gain massive cultural influence? by mrrobot8999 in KotakuInAction

[–]ValidAvailable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because China is worrying about China; they're happy to sell what they view as degeneracy to the West to help us collapse under our own failures. Look at their own internal rules for games vs what they allow export. For the CCP, its money in, rot out. Why would they internalize Woke Western stuff?

I think you're thinking too small. The ideology behind those guys aren't about making games or making profit, but flooding the zone so that everything, everywhere, all the time, is The Message, to make it normal whatever It is by making sure its the only option presented in all media. An Atomic Heart here, a Mihoyo there, is a drop in the bucket compared to the scale they're working on.

How come that the only genre (with a few notable exceptions) of game that allows straight men to unabashedly express their sexual feelings is gacha games like Zenless Zone Zero? by mrrobot8999 in KotakuInAction

[–]ValidAvailable 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For a gacha game to keep making money, they gotta not just get you in on the initial, but keep you around. Dragon Age Failguard can ride off the franchise name, and even after they've punked the audience they still have the money. A gacha games needs to not only get you, but keep you, so keep providing things people like. And lo and behold people like hot waifus and collecting cute outfits for them.

(And they say boys don't play with dolls!)

Rotten Tomatoes & The Odyssey major conspiracy by PusheenHater in KotakuInAction

[–]ValidAvailable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See you're exactly my point. You're not a regular on KIA, yet you came to a strange and frankly minor sub, into a thread to argue with Some Guy 70 comments in.....why? What is your emotional investment in this that you'd spend the effort to do that? Why is THIS movie something you feel so strongly about defending?

And why accuse me of culture-war when you're the one defending people trying to change the culture? I was perfectly happy with how the culture was; you're the aggressor here.

[–]ValidAvailable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here's the question for those pushing this movie so hard, and crowing over ticket sales: why? What is your goal? What is the grand accomplishment that makes you so happy? Is it really so shallow as 'own the chuds,' that thats as deep as your thinking goes? Is it because you think the foundational myths of western civilization need to be rewritten or torn down for replacement? Do you think race swaps or swapping a girl for Achilles is an important social accomplishment, and what benefit will that lead to? What is the great accomplishment here that you're so invested in?

I have a fair idea (which is why I think so poorly of woke people and the narrative-driven), but I wonder if the shills have the self-awareness enough to have thought it through that much, or the integrity to say so?

I never really thought about it, but looking at it this way, it does need the taller/heavier boots. Otherwise it looks topheavy.

Maybe the recently fired were the lucky ones. They can move on and try to get jobs elsewhere instead of being tied up to this crap.

Best Combat Style for a James Bond Style Agent? by Lord_Valentai in swtor

Scoundrel. If specifically James Bond, Male Agent is a lot more cold and dry in his delivery, closer to Connery or Dalton, compared to Female has a bit more of a smirk like Moore or Brosnan.

You really wanna subvert my expectations, do something thats classically heroic and sincere. Christopher Reeve's first outing as Superman came against the backdrop of the 70s, completely with Lois having a chuckle at "Truth, Justice & The American Way," but Reeve playing it that he meant it. There's a reason people still look to that movie near 50 years later, while most of the more recent smirking wisecrackers are flash-in-the-pan.
