Whenever I feel the itch to go back to a 3D collectathon platformer I've honestly just gone back to Mario 64. That game has aged surprisingly well for what it is and when it came out.

A game where you start out fat and ugly, but you can grind a lot to be super ripped and get cosmetic surgery to look more attractive. But at the beginning of the game people won't bang you because you're ugly. If you get all the changes, they still won't bang you because they just don't like you that way. In fact, they actually got with someone who's not very attractive either but has a great personality while you were busy minmaxing your image. But like, in a way that this comes off as critical towards the player and not in a MRA kinda way.

Wow that actually sounds impossible to accomplish. Like 90% of gamers would take away the message of "wow, bitches, amirite?"

I turned the entire hud off in Witcher 3 and learned what each herb actually looked like. That's right. I can't identify any plants in real life, but when I was playing Witcher I was practically a botanist.

edit: Nier: Automata is literally on track to outsell Bloodborne.

I kinda doubt that it actually will, but it had a hell of a strong start.

I fuckin hate this, but goons dogpile on me every time I suggest that you should be able to just say "no" to a quest and not have it added to your log in these games, so I feel like something of a kindred spirit.

edit: And even when you can say "no", it's not like, "no I don't want to do the quest". Your character phrases it as "No, I don't want to do it but I will when I feel like it". gently caress you, I said no, I'm not helping you carry your sofa up the stairs to your apartment for 30 caps or whatever.

Just do what I do and kill people who annoy you. In games. Not real life.

One of the many times I tried to start Fallout: New Vegas, there was some dick who was asking for help and then being an ungrateful dick about it, so I shot him in the head. I did that to a lot of people. I could never get into that game.

Brutal, but acceptable.

edit: And I was only barely exaggerating/joking when I made that post. It genuinely is annoying that these games will just assault you with stuff to do, it's a problem many open world games have (most recently Nier Automata). They just give you a gigantic list of random assorted things to do and imo it makes it feel cluttered and annoying. And Nier Automata is like the first game of its kind I've seen that lets you straight up say 'no' and come back to help when you're not already busy.

it's part of what kills New vegas for me. I have the complete edition or whatever, so everytime I start a new game, it gives me a full inventory of DLC poo poo and gives me like 5 extra quest markers.

I think that non-pokemon animals used to exist, and pokemon evolved (considering what evolution means in pokemon, this makes perfect sense) as an invasive species and all non pokemon animals went extinct.

edit: Any sufficiently evolved pokemon is indistinguishable from human.

Yeah, and gay characters on TV in a good light and not just complete stereotypes feels like something that happened entirely in the last decade. I guess almost 2 decades. It feels like we've come such a long way though. Like 2 shows I'm watching now both had characters (not major ones) who just happened to be gay and it wasn't some kind of plot point and was treated as entirely normal by every other character.

Does Will and Grace count as a step forward or a step back?

I never watched Will and Grace, or a whole lot of 90s TV, but I was counting it in the "stereotype" column by reputation. Dawson and Buffy both did gay and lesbian (respectively) primary cast characters around the same time in the late 90s/early 00s. I'm sure they weren't the only ones to do it in that time period. There are much earlier outliers too: I know that Golden Girls did at least one episode about lesbian acceptance in season 2 (1986). I think they did more later, but I'm only halfway through season 3 right now, so I haven't gotten to them yet. It's still different from having a primary cast member though.

It's been a long learning process. I remember the chatter during that show's run about Jack being a total stereotype, but still valuable because there were so few examples of representation that were on network TV every week.

It's like how Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was such a big thing but now that Netflix wants to remake it everyone is rolling their eyes

I mean, as much as stereotypical portrayals can be bad and can set things back, I feel like portrayal of stereotypes as acceptable, good people in society is still a stepping stone.

"Blaxsploitation" as an umbrella genre, contained plenty of films that reinforced stereotypes in a negative way. The term "Blaxsploitation" was coined by Junius Griffin, who was executive director of the Hollywood branch of the NAACP in 1972. He argued that these films exploited black culture and warped children's minds with violence and cultural lies. But at the same time, the existence of the economic powerhouse of the blaxsploitation genre paved the way for black film makers and created opportunities for black actors and actresses that would not have existed without that stepping stone. The Black Panthers embraced blaxsploitation films that showed strong willed black characters. James Earl Jones said "even the black exploitation movie has a role to play. The groups trying to cancel these movies are fighting a losing battle. I think there is a call for such movies. The black image is in a state of creation."

That's paraphrased from Allyson Field's L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema

But I feel like the portrayal of gay and lesbian characters in television has been following a similar trajectory from exoticism, to exploitation, to real acceptance. Trans acceptance is lagging behind, but I hope that it catches up quickly.

I got into SA from the front page. Like, I had gaming friends in first college who would share front page articles and stuff. After awhile of following that, I mentioned a front page article to one of them, and they were like "oh, I don't even look at the front page anymore, I just hang out on the forums". So of course I looked into that. Now I haven't looked at the front page in years.

I use both. The great thing about reddit is how much you can curate the content. By editing your subscriptions and creating multireddits and stuff. I don't think it's much more toxic than this place as long as you use tools to avoid or tag toxic elements.

It's gotten very worse much recently, probably due to Trump. A lot of misogynist poo poo is making it to the unfiltered front page. But that's what happens when you take a cross section of the entire internet.
