Making Tracer a lesbian was the safest thing they could have done as a company, it's why it took them like four months or whatever between their comment and this comic. I'm just surprised people are calling it brave.

Is it not brave? People still get super upset at the idea of anything but sexually straight and white characters in media. It actually seems to be a gigantic portion of the population that hates the idea of a gay character in media. The level of hate towards the LGBT community is still extremely high and violent.

I suppose it is, though I believe it would have been more impactful if one of the male cast was chosen instead. Though that would have ruffled way, way more feathers.

If you want it put more simply, games attract kids, and kids are more likely to have impossible, stupid fantasies like a love affair with an entirely fictional character. At least a Harry Potter fan could dream of boning actual Emma Watson via some complicated, Rube Goldbergian twist of fate but an Overwatch fan doesn't even have that And it doesn't help that there are online circles that pretend to indulge impossible fantasies as something 'cute' or 'fun' but then some people fall for it and take it dead loving serious

Movie chat from pages back inspired me to rewatch Mortal Kombat. I still think the best video game movie moment is when Johnny Cage confronts Goro. "Those were $500 sunglasses, rear end in a top hat."

Lizard Wizard posted:Just the instructions? God, people are dumb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kVPStKzLes&hd=1 It's an insanely hard game, I never beat it. I always made it to...the jungle level, I believe, and then ran out of lives. Really fun until I inevitably game overed though. A lot of the carts floating around aren't legit, it's one of the more notable bootlegged SNES carts, I had a ton of folks message me asking for proof of its legitimacy(detailed photos of the cart and label all around). The manual is apparently way, way rarer since a lot of people tend not to keep the game manuals. This is also why other SNES game manuals can get pricey, like I sold Super Bomberman 2's manual for 20 bucks. edit: apparently Gamepro called it "an improved Cybernator" which I agree with Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Dec 22, 2016 |

How is the NieR Automata demo? I'm traveling so I can't play it yet. Also does the menu font/color/style in it remind anyone else of MGS3, or just me?oddium posted:the zelda guy said link can't be a girl because then zelda would have no role but then everyone agreed link is a girl already and there was no fighting My take was always, why bother making Link a girl? Just put him in distress--a suitably Link-style distress, like he's sleeping for seven years or something--and let us play as Zelda. We've established that Zelda has been extremely capable in multiple games, a skilled magician, a good archer, and, in Ocarina, a loving ninja. So let us play as her, that'd own. I'd be a little disappointed if they made a female Link, just because I'd feel like it's a missed opportunity to play as Zelda. But I wouldn't be mad, female Link would still be cool in a different way.

VideoGames posted:I thought it would be fun to impose a sort of limit on what I play, rather than looking at my list and getting into a tizz of what to boot up. Sometimes I enjoy structure like that. If the first month is bad and I don't have the fun I think I will then I'll stop I'm completely awful at KOF, I never know when to use which jump when, and so much of good KOF play is have a pitch perfect anti air game because of said jumps...I still love playing them though, and I hope you dig it when you get there.

In other fighting games when I practice I look up a simple combo and try to drill it, or practice like wake ups and hit confirms etc. in KOFXIV I'm still just sitting there doing all the jumps around the screen

Huh. I assumed from that one guy who was really hype for Astroneer when NMS came out that he'd have made a thread for it when Early Access opened, but no such luck. Think I am gonna pick it up anyway, looks pretty chill and the gameplay seems more interesting.

Yo I'd like to throw shoutouts to Gemcraft Chapter 2 (I think it's called Chasing Shadows) for being the perfect game to play while I'm stuck in bed with nausea and these loving kidney stones. Not too much fast-paced action, and perfect controls for slowing the game down so I can play it with the touchpad on this crappy laptop.
