I think that's the first mention of an Ouya Ive seen since the last Ouya thread that I read here back in 2014? Ish? I'm kind of surprised it lasted this long.

The Ouya will truly go down in history for not being vaporware. Congratulations to the Ouya: despite all expectations, you existed.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


I haven't thought about OUYA in a while too, let's see what the CEO has been up to.

Well, at least she made a career out of it.

I guess in all honesty though if not in this current market, then when, right?

The funny thing is it turned out digital distribution was the future, just there's no point in releasing a dedicated device for it when you can just slap it onto the machines everyone already has.

Sony has main HQ in Cali that's asking all games on Sony systems, regardless of where they're being made and released, to tone down on the insane gross pedophile stuff, and The Gamers are having a fit over it.

uh my understanding is that two thirds of this is straight up wrong

first off: it's not just gross pedophile stuff, it's basically any sexual content that wouldn't fly in a PG-13 movie, to my knowledge. like Dead or Alive is consistently horny for full grown women, as far as I'm aware, and it's been running into weird issues with Sony for a while.

second off: "regardless of where they're made" is their policy on paper, but is basically a fig leaf, because Western devs are allowed to appeal rulings, whereas the appeal process is deliberately made impossible for non-Anglophone devs (they auto-reject appeals in Japanese, specifically). this is something i know for a fact the Japanese indie scene is pissed about, simply because if you don't have any concrete info on where the line's drawn, and you can't appeal a ruling on whether your game gets to come out, developing for PS4/Vita is a legit gamble.

Yea, but I think it's funny is all that the "I read it for the articles" thing exists in spite of playboy historically having good articles worth reading in addition to the t&a that most people buy it for.

"You had best not do that, Avatar!"
Ayane's been officially an adult for a few years...and had arguably looked like one at a glance even before that (in other words, if you asked a random person to guess the character's age).

If you want to criticize modern DOA for sexualizing people who actually look underage, regardless of whatever the official age claims, there's a much easier target: Marie Rose. Everything about her character upsets me (and should probably upset you too).

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, and if I am then please feel free to tell me I am, but isn't this basically another way of saying "well she looked like an adult"?

e: like, whenever I see an argument against the "sexualizing minors is bad" thing, the arguments either end up saying one or more of the following:

1. They're fictional, so what does it matter?
2. They look like an adult so it doesn't matter what their listed age is.
3. Actually the age of consent is :goonsay:
4. Why do you care? You caring is creepier than the people who made them.

Personally, I believe that it is important to not try and normalize the sexualization of minors. I feel that while yes the argument that they are fictional and as such nobody is hurt by it is the strongest argument, I still feel like it doesn't work because by accepting that argument, it helps to normalize and invite more of that content into the open when it should instead stay in its own little corner where people know that what they like isn't hurting anybody but also that they should not make attempts to normalize it lest it lead to being abused to actually hurt someone.

The other 3 arguments are just weak though imo because one of them is just deflecting, one is a misunderstanding of age of consent laws, and one is just not a good look on anyone saying it. Anybody would look bad if they looked at someone like that and went "well, yeah she's 14 but she LOOKS like an adult" for the same reason it'd be a pretty bad look if you said "well she LOOKS like a child but she's actually 999 years-old"

Yeah using a fictional character's "official" age as a metric of whether or not it's okay to sexualize them is a stupid metric to go by because then you wind up with the 1000-year-old child meme, which is how tons of anime justify it. Doing the inverse of drawing someone who clearly looks like an adult and then saying "just kidding she's actually ten years old" is like yeah I'm sure. I say this because I'm 1000% positive if I go to the DoA wiki and check Marie Rose's age it's gonna say she's 18.

My point is it's the almost opposite case of drawing a fictional child who looks 13 and then telling you they're actually 100 years old because reasons.
