Does Jonathan McIntosh actually like video games, like, at all? I mean, the criticism is sort of basically valid, but also intensely pointless.

Terrible Opinions posted:I mean even with artificial wombs at least one parents needs to be with the fetus 24/7 during late development so all this means is that it's possible for the not pregnant partner to take that job. So if he's somehow terrified that people wouldn't care for their kids in favor of work that's also invalid, unless for osme reason you thinks it NEEDS to be the pregnant woman who is the primary caretaker. a fantastic element of a lot of cyberpunk is the complete dehumanization in child raising, where AIs/Corporate schools/etc basically handle raising a kid until they're old enough to join the company themselves and become another drone. Shadowrun especially does neat things with this kinda weird corpo-nationalism that forms as a part of youth culture that maybe even means more than parents do at times. Adding in artificial birth programs to a concept like that could make a genuinely chilling part of the game to explore. Or we can holler about womz wanting to work and smoke their drat Virginia Slims, yea cool. I am so genuinely annoyed that this thing I've been hoping for, a cool cyberpunk survival game, is covered in the juices of a smoothbrained 'muh gamer rights' babyman.

He was saying that women are bad for wanting to gestate children outside of their bodies, a technological advancement that would literally liberate humanity to an extent unseen since, like, penicillin or indoor plumbing.

It's too bad that McIntosh keeps deleting tweets. He had one claiming that you couldn't end segregation in schools with violence, apparently forgetting that US troops were deployed to enforce desegregation. He deleted the tweet shortly after someone pointed this out. Edit: Really McIntosh is a useful idiot for fascists cause he keeps telling the left to not bash the fash.

"Revolutionary technology that would improve the world in ways that we can only begin to fathom is actually bad because it makes the author, and old man, slightly uncomfortable" is one of Science Fiction's classic stories, he's pulling from a long and proud tradition. The pettiest version of this is probably Surrogates, where a revolutionary technology that would grant full mobility to the physically disabled and prevent people all over the world from destroying their bodies in backbreaking or dangerous jobs must be abolished because Bruce Willis is in a loveless marriage.

The pettiest version of this is Star Trek where being post scarcity turns everyone into religious predestination fanatics. Though that appears to be unintentional on the part of the writers.

BigRed0427 posted:Wait, was this the game Projeck CD Red was working on? Thankfully no. This is an indie cyberpunk game, The Last Night that was shown briefly at Microsoft's blitz of game announcements that was their E3 conference. It looked neat and then people realized who was behind it. The CD Projeck Red game is I think literally called Cyberpunk [insert year here because I can't remember].

The Last Night is probably going to be insanely short and overly simplistic with the kind of art it has. Owlboy wasn't very long and it took like 7+ years to produce all of the gorgeous pixel art in it. The premise is so weird and stupid I'm almost interested to see it now. lol if you pay release price for it though. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Jun 13, 2017 |

Though that appears to be unintentional on the part of the writers. Star Trek generally dodges what was talking about, though. It would be more applicable if after the first "transporter/holodeck glitch causes mayhem" plot, they all agree that the Enterprise was a mistake and scuttle the entire Federation fleet. No intelligent species ever ventures into space again.

Yeah, literally nobody is going to disagree with that. That's just a completely different lovely message than what cyberpunk gamergator was going for, and what he's going for just happens to be my single least favorite stock sci fi plot. If I was a crazy billionaire, I would absolutely fund a version of this as a film set about 100 years go, where our hero is a hard-drinking detective who hates cars because his son died in an auto accident and his wife was too busy driving to the voting station one time to make dinner. It turns out that the hit-and-run-murders he was investigating were orchestrated by Henry Ford himself and the final scene is our hero looking on approvingly from atop his horse while the entire public transportation infrastructure is destroyed. With Ford's body swinging from a lamppost, humanity is free from this technology that is unarguably evil because selfish people can for bad things sometimes. Nobody would ever willingly watch this film.

There was that one episode of Enterprise where the doctor created a cure for a plague that was decimating an entire species, then changed his mind and refused to hand it over because he decided that they were supposed to die off to make room for another species on the same planet. And that was set before the prime directive was invented, so the characters couldn’t even claim to be sticking to regulations, as stupid as that is. They basically just declared that doctors shouldn’t try to come up with new disease treatments because they might interfere with evolution. It’s complete bullshit.

In a way the current Kimble Justice FFVIII series feels a bit different than the FFVII one, on which it's less, less polarizing and isn't as much of an historical artifact. Whereas FFVII still suffered from having this game everyone had in their minds, FVIII's "Let's make everything obscure as poo poo, OOOOH This Major Plot Point Is Shoved in a Random Alley Or On a Tiny Computer That You Won't Give a poo poo About" shtick means that even super through Let's Plays gloss over a lot of points that KJ is currently going thru. Heck, I thought it was outlandish to fly your Garden all the way to Galbadia's crater on VoiceOfDog's stream, but not "Oh yeah the guy who used to run it was unceremoniously thrown out and you can only talk to him if you gently caress off as Irvine to a tiny screen and see him sit on a pier" or "They gave Seifer control of Deling City". Like, as far as internet criticism goes, KJ easily topples whatever other document there is on a field that the biggest one until then was the Spoony FFVIII review, which was a huge, huge product of its time where just posting yourself droning to the Atari ET game as a Vietnam flashback was considered "good criticism".
