imo the pride flag thing is less of an issue because the system of hanging charms from the hooks was in long before pride flag charms were in, and there's not really any other place to put them that other players have a decent chance of seeing any given game (on the gens maybe?)
I think it is exclusively not weird to only people who have already played DbD so much that the game's themes and horror aspects have become borderline invisible to them and it is strictly a pvp time management game. if you take anyone not immersed in the dbd fanbase and show them the murder meathook pride flag they are raising an eyebrow at the very least

every like 5 years this happens when a developer says "this is the most immersive world where literally anything is possible and we couldn't have done it without the superior immersive power of the emotion engineintel core duocell processorgood ram in the ps4ps5" and for whatever reason gamers slop that poo poo up and assume it's literally true. even when they don't say that! todd howard came out and said "hey yall we're making skyrim in space" and gamers were so disappointed that it didn't just let them gently caress the computer and instead was literally skyrim in space
also this kinda thing is very funny because it's the same thing every time-very sad and gullible idiot gamers who just want their perfectly realistic forever game.

it just kinda feels like trying to cram corporate inclusion into a game and premise that doesnt really fit it. pride flag weapon charms in overwatch, w/e, but while i dont think its the worst thing ever the hooks thing definitely comes across weirder

It's definitely just, because survivors have their charms on their belt and the hooks are the easiest option for the killer equivalent since their models wouldn't look right with the pins on them.

what's funny is they've backed themselves into a bit of a corner there because what's the alternative? you can't display your pride flag in the same place everyone puts their cute animals or ranked emblems? no one can display anything on the one object everyone's guaranteed to look at each game? I don't really blame them for not looking that far ahead, but I'm still gonna lol at them

Baffling that they didn't tell the actress what she was voicing. "It's a Mandela Catalog monster" is very simple.

LazyMaybe posted:

even just stuff like the "you can put the pride flag on the meathooks the serial killers hang their victims from :) " is so insanely tonedeaf. dunno wtf goes on behind marketing choices like this



inclusivity win!! the trapper supports gay rights
The actual reasoning is that charms as a whole for hooks and survivors are the obligatory cosmetic no one wants or cares about used to fill out a battle pass and nothing else. So you basically see killers take the most reflective/glowy ones to help with navigation on maps with bad lighting and there is no reason to take any charms on survivors.

there's a decent chance they didn't even know what exactly what she was voicing at the time either. the monster just kind of came out of nowhere and the theming is a little weird to begin with. not excusing them or anything because if that were the case they still shouldn't have gone with the skin-stealer theme, but it would at least partially explain their bone-headedness

every couple of months some clip of some twitch streamer who only plays cod and apex talking about games not being fun anymore shows up on my twitter feed, and its like dude you made your job playing poo poo games, go play xenoblade 3 or something

They should join forces with the Total Warhammer streamer who wanted streamers to unionize and force game devs to make good games again (because bad games effect them financially since no one wants to see a bad game streamed)

youtube search recently has gotten insanely bad. it seems to favor pushing big channels over anything else. if you search anything remotely video game related you just get a giant wall of asmongold's 15 channels.

I got recommended one of his videos that was him telling people to stop tipping wait staff for some reason and I think its hilarious for a streamer to a tipping abolitionist.

Don't forget:

yeah I was more referring to the cut and paste dungeons, Oblivion was the better one for quests and having a personality, Skyrim's rando dungeons/POIs were mostly better just for being actually created rather than procgened and not repeating but the better overall game was Oblivion

morrowind had the best combat of the elder scrolls games, unironically. anyone's who's played a real RPG knows that missing because of a behind-the-scenes dice roll is infinitely better than The Bare Minimum Action Combat. It legitimatized your build and functioned as a better representation of your character's actual skills than being able to M1 faster than the other guy

also morrowind had silt striders, and why would I walk when I could ride?
