Did people get this insanely angry after the Norton's Niggas tag started going around? That one even kind of affiliates the gangtag owner with the word, this is more like reminding people, "hey remember that one time Bowser said a slur? Good times," every time we post, which is a community service really.

The Walking Dead games are a really great example at how even a tiny bit of engaging interactivity (and good writing) can make even an interactive novel really emotionally investing and is a testament to how loving bad games that can't even pull that off are

Game storytelling on an actual writing level is nothing special but it's also a really good medium for super easily conveying settings + empathy and that's not really a bad thing? Games writing is bad because game devs hire whatever schmuck in the testing department came up with a cool name for a subboss once not because the medium is inherently terrible at storytelling, and while having variables in a story can be one of games' strengths it's also not like every game is under the pretense that you're doing anything more than filling a role and uncovering a predetermined story

I think the real answer we can all agree on is that devs need to stop writing lovely stories for video games and instead write good ones.

i doubt they will realise that it's clickable

the funny thing is that i guarantee they will but it won't change their opinion on it because it would get in the way of BLIND INDIGNATION

You're right. Who am I to stand in the way of Funny Thing being applied to literally everything? Sucks to "playing it out," let's run this poo poo into the ground!
