Infinitum posted:Had a google and yeaaaaaah forgot how insanely gross they got I'm really wondering how they'll go because Season 4 ends with Dracula resurrected with his wife planning a worldwide trip, so it'd be disappointing if they made him evil again for no reason or killed Lisa again to make Dracula evil. There's the evil priest in Rondo I guess.

Vermain posted:the reviews i've read indicate that it's basically the first game with more open world elements and a dreadful PC port that's struggling to hit 30 FPS on beef PCs, so waiting for a sale is in your best interest Ugh yeah I'll approach w caution in like a year if they iron out the PC port. Open-world elements are basically guaranteed to cut the gaming experience with a bunch of gristle and sawdust to bulk up the playtime and I've been avoiding them more and more as I get older and just have less time in general lovely day-one PC ports are one of the things that make me want to get a PS5 or Series Boner but most things are still getting ported to PC and are usually eventually OK

The 7th Guest posted:these waypoint moments seem like singular disconnected points in time and not necessarily a pattern of malicious behavior, especially considering the person who wrote the RSC article left like 6-7 years ago I agree here, I also think the original Red Strings Club article was extremely misguided and shouldn't have run, but that the follow-up interview with the devs a day later was a reasonably mature response to criticism and a reasonably good-faith effort on Danielle's part to take accountability. not going to tell anyone here that they have to agree with the latter half of that statement (and I am a cis guy, to be fair) and definitely not gonna relitigate the specifics of the deadnaming controversy, but even if you don't think the follow-up was sufficient accountability, I do question the wisdom of treating that as an indictment of Waypoint and everything they ever published to the point where you're dancing on its grave, especially when there are no shortage of truly awful opinions in games media that nobody responsible has ever taken an iota of accountability for. oh well, YMMV Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Apr 28, 2023 |

kotaku once ran an article in the early 2010s about a guy bragging that he had sex with a woman in his Sonic racecar bed it was the only article he ever wrote and he was just some guy trying to get a lovely cartoon funded on Kickstarter i pin these things primarily on article writer, and editor in chief that isn't paying enough attention. although in the Sonic bed case I want to award the EIC a medal for running it e: except for the Nathalie Lawhead stuff because it was psychotic of so many people around games journalism to circle the wagons around Cecilia. that's one instance where it goes beyond just a person doing something really stupid and is actually indicative of major problems within the field The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Apr 28, 2023 |

Sonic fans sometimes have a notorious reputation among the general internet populace that we're terribly annoying, way too demanding, and that we have an unwarranted sense of entitlement. As a fan, I can boldly proclaim that while all of that is 100 percent factual (in an opinion kind of way), I can also say that I'm the only Sonic fan, nay, the only gamer to get a girl to sleep with me upon a bed of Sonic. I moved out of my parent's house at the ripe age of 20, and let me tell you something, it was the best move I've ever made. At home I had rules and regulations on how I was to enjoy myself (bringing girls to my room was a big no-no) so I did the only logical thing and hit the road. At my new place I was a free man, a man who was free to decorate his room the way he felt a man-cave should look: covered from head to toe in Sonic the Hedgehog memorabilia. Action figures still in their packaging lined the walls, a poster of Eddie Lebron's live-action fan film starring Jaleel White in the kitchen, and the cream of the crop – a giant Sonic the Hedgehog throw blanket with matching pillow cases on my bed. Now, one might take a look at such an apartment and immediately declare "this guy will never get laid," As a self-proclaimed ladies-man, I made it my job to disprove such a theory. I believe that any guy can land any kind of girl if he's both confident and true to himself, so when I found acting like a fool wasn't working, I decided it was time for change. I tried online dating, checked out a few girls, and got checked out myself. One girl in particular was cute, funny, smart, and most-notable-in-the-context-of-this-article, wasn't a nerd at all. Another thing that caught my eye – she had never dated a nerd before. We met up at the local Starbucks where we got to know each other over some coffee, nothing big. There was definitely a mutual attraction going on, mostly because neither of us made the "date" out to be more than it was. I treated her like I would treat any of my friends, which made her feel really comfortable. She thought it was cool how I just did my own thing, and she was really interested in my comedy. I was confident about myself, and she instantly dug that. I invited her over my apartment, and of course she wanted to see my bedroom. She broke out into hysterical laughter at my over-the-top Sonic the Hedgehog room, and I will admit I was a little embarrassed at first, but she was totally into it. She thought it was endearing, in a way. We then had sex on the fabled Sonic the Hedgehog blanket, and it was good. Trust me, she wasn't the only one to enjoy His Royal Kailness upon such luxuries. In fact, there were many others (which you can read about in my book Slacker's Paradise). The truth is, if you're a nerd, geek, gamer, lamer, whatever – you can get the girl. Interests don't matter much in the end, the best way to get a girl interested is to be confident in yourself, don't try so hard, and make sure they feel comfortable. Remember my golden rule – A.B.C, Always Be Closing. My next goal is to decorate my room in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic memorabilia and see if my girlfriend doesn't make me sleep in the yard for a week. Once you get tied down everything starts looking more and more like an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. Kris Kail is a comedian, life-long gamer, and author of the book "Slacker's Paradise – The Collective Writings of an Internet Radio Host". You can find him on Twitter under the name @DudeGurlz and you can read about all of his wacky antics at Kail's Big Time Burger Joint. [Editor's Note: We've taken some heat for this story. Some didn't find it funny. To that I expect condemnation only for our taste. But to those who feel the story supported a view that our readers are all straight, male gamers, I do apologize. I should have caught that in the editing process of what was intended to be a light, humorous story. No article on this site should make you feel that you don't count as a gamer. If this article made you feel that way, I apologize. That's not on Kris, who was simply trying to entertain our readers. That's on me. -Stephen Totilo, Editor-in-Chief, Kotaku.com ]

The 7th Guest posted:e: i don't have all my thoughts fully formed on this subject yet but given how many sites have freelance/guest writers, games journalism feels a lot more individualized despite the big bannerheads. it's always a big deal when a writer leaves one site and goes to another for example. or when a group of writers get laid off. that's why whenever ppl would respond to an article on kotaku with "TYPICAL KOTAKU" i'd think 'what is typical kotaku', because their lineup of writers and even editors changes frequently. the dumbass who wrote that cis people couldn't find bayonetta attractive for example wasn't at kotaku a year prior to writing that article. so i guess that's why i don't mind people sharing cool articles from waypoint because a number of them likely were guest spots or freelanced or from people who left years ago or w/e heck with kotaku there was also that period of time where tim rogers was heavily doing his tim rogers thing for the site so it'd be wild to see his videos attract those kind of comments by people who'd just read a video title and would immediately post that stuff without watching it

In a world where anyone can just watch a full game online, or hell just buy and return a game on steam, journalists gotta stay controversial if they wanna stay relevant. That's why my next article is "Non-Japanese People Playing JRPGs Are Committing Cultural Appropriation".

Vampire Survivors is awesome, and I am really happy for the person who made the game and their success. This game feels like proof that exploitative DLC and monetization is not in fact necessary to make good games, but a choice with no other motivation behind it.
