I have seen some of that in terms of popular culture. But one of the things I will note is that a game I have a load of fondness for hasn't seen it yet. Disco Elysium. People were saying "this is really good" and it's been 6 months or so since it came out and I've yet to see any real "worm is turning" on it.

Part of me does like the "bad thing = good now" argument, because at least it creates new avenues for folks to express how they feel about it.

imo DE has one big fault: the horrible thing that happens when you fail the dancing/singing check in the church/club

you are not given any chance to prevent it, and the game reacts as if you the player made a bad choice morally (like it does the rest of in the game when you would actually do)

I think the argument is:

Chris Brown was hurt, and Yellow thinks he was right to hurt back, and only because of him being percieved as male does that not count. Reciprocal abuse means everyone has a right to hurt someone back, it means every gender is equal. If you only give women the right to abuse you are erasing anyone presenting as man. I think?

all this AC:Od talk is weird because canonically Kassandra was still alive in 2018

even weirder when you see her last 2018 cutscene before any talk of marriage and babys in greece come up (you can blame the new levelling system for that)


(also she totally slays in a business suit and I hate it they just threw that idea away)

I'm sorry, what? Please explain
assume Kassandra is the canon hero of Oddyssey

the last expansion for Oddyssey leads Kassandra to Atlantis, the 2018 lady Layla then uses that knowledge to find Atlantis too! it has some very cool interactions with Kassandras dad and an alien AI that can see the future (2018) and the actual player (Kassandra in the simulation kinda breaks the 4th wall)

and when Layla fails to activate Atlantis, actual for real Kassandra in a business suit walks up, Atlantis' McGuffin kept her immortal, and they hug it out (in a pretty well done emotional scene for an Ubisoft game)

also the dweeb that you marry in the first expansion never is mentioned lol

Thing is in that game all the gangs apart from like the mox, voodoo boys and uh... 6th street??? Are ridiculously violent psychopaths. So it makes sense in the game that you shoot them. But this is actually more insidious because there's no chance for the player to have the realization you just wrote. In the game the Corps are obviously corrupt and inhumane but they are correct that all the youths are violent and will steal your cyber spleen. No one in the game is ever just 'littering near a corpo vending machine'. Everyone is a cyber organ harvester and aspiring snuff film producer. It's so perfectly crypto-fash because it says 'we get it, the world is a gently caress' and then spends the rest of the game telling you the corpos are right and you should just shoot everyone. Cha-ching!

always awesome when people who haven't played the game rant about poo poo they imagine it to be

it would have been tolerable if he were a teen and stupid when he posted those, but he was in his 40s so gently caress him

I'm sorry I asked a question about the mod where you put a bomb collar on a girl to make her your slave.

the game doesn't force you though? it's like people never played DE or Bloodlines

the real problem why you didn't make this connection is that the mod has just bad writing and can easily be discarded once you copy the driving code


edit I was wrong after reading the NV thread in games

The thing is, backtracking through the thread, this is all in response to the creators of Magic: The Gathering (which predates Harry Potter by quite a bit of time) publishing a series of books about a magic school and publicly saying it's not them ripping off Harry Potter, which is what they would say even if JK Rowling had never said a single controversial thing ever.

No idea what the politics of these new books will be, but your opinion of JK Rowling shouldn't have anything to do with these new books.

Steven The Reasonable is still an idiot, though.

It should also be noted that there's a poo poo ton of books that came out before Harry Potter that were about kids in a magic school, and I assume most of the people behind these new books are aware of them, so it's probably a safe assumption they have more inspiration than just Harry Potter.

not books, new cards in an expansion centered around a Wizard School
