Codependent Poster posted:lol oh so you're going with "it's okay" because it's not specifically her dog, just a dog she had a bond with and was friendly with and played fetch with and pet This isn’t accurate either. Probably a huge spoiler from the noise I’ve gleaned: You play the second half of the game as the woman who kills Joel and it is her dog. Ellie is hunting you as the antagonist.

grieving for Gandalf posted:well, maybe it at least passes the Bechdel test It wasnt meant to be an actual test you apply to literally all media it was just a joke a lesbian made about how hard it was to find content that appealed to her. Unfortunately it got turned into something dudes use to say their het fantasy novels where the protag fucks seven elf wenches are feminist

Which hey maybe the elf wench loving is feminist, just that the part where it passes the bechdel test isnt the part where it becomes feminist and it still probably wouldnt appeal to a lesbian Edit: unless the one doing the elf wench loving is also an elf wench i guess

Stux posted:a game not giving you a choice isnt manipulative its a narrative device lmao It's manipulative because it forces you to do something and then lectures you about how doing that thing was bad. It is a specifically video game thing, where the player's agency can and will gently caress with situations where characters are put into situations like this and make bad choices.

Instead of the the credits being all of the people that worked 60+ hours a week to make this game it's going to be the names of every person and dog you killed in the game.

The premise of the film is that an oblivious white lady adopts a dog which has been trained to attack black people, so she has to seek out an animal trainer to see if they can make the dog not racist

I gotta say, the chud/nazi super gross transphobic angle on the game has created a fascinating scenario where there are now people preparing to hold axes over virtual dogs to stick it to the horrible nazis.
