i'm sure it's something people here don't want to hear but really any young to middle-aged straight white male with attitude and charisma. policy doesn't really matter for the public opinion.

personally i would love AOC, but let's talk realpolitik. a black woman will NEVER win. And remember you can be as progressive as you want and as pure as you want, but it doesn't really matter if you can't win.

people will blast me for this, but that's the reality.

Don't be an asshole or a bigot.

...or don't know what race AOC is

What other game company is directly involved in a genocide?

Did you forget about HOGWARTS LEGACY chud?

Keep up the pressure and if you can boycott their games. That includes Call of Duty and anything Blizzard related. It sucks for the devs who aren't responsible but the Genocide in Gaza is the biggest moral failing of our time as it's being supported and enable by the "good guys" of the west.

Wow, biggest moral failing? Putting yourselves above the transbian WLW genocide of 2016-now? Wow, just wow. You ain’t slick.

Oh, is this why they still hate Chris Avellone?

[kaleidoscopium]

Microsoft the multi trillion dollar corporation is not going to feel any pressure because a small games journalist asked a midlevel employee from an unrelated division of the corporation questions that the journalist knew that the employee could not possibly have the knowledge or authority to answer without putting their career at risk. It's obviously not a bad thing to highlight their complicity in genocide but let's not pretend like almost any other question, controversial or not, about things that are not related to the employee's work would get any other response.

This. It needs to be a constant reminder everywhere, to those involved at Microsoft and to those who continue to fund genocide by buying Microsoft and Xbox products.

The most pathetic part is that this prick should be saying to himself:

"WTF? I tried to be an ally and Nepenthe banned me for a month. Fuck this forum, never going back."

But nope. As soon as the ban is over, this cunt will be back posting, like nothing ever happened, hoping to never piss Nep-Nep off ever again, like all the other assholes that always get banned for 1/3/6 months (FatFuck4All, PlanetSmasher, ZeoVGM and Visawife, take a bow)

Shameless.

Have you guys tried getting your local progressive video game forum to ban threads promoting and discussing Microsoft products? I noticed a lot of posts in that thread demanding others keep pushing and asking Microsoft employees about nothing else until they "crack." Feels like that could be done a lot closer to home to damage the funding of genocide that comes from buying Microsoft and Xbox products including Call of Duty and anything Blizzard related like Overwatch skins for Lucio.

"The staff have said to stop asking for things to be banned."

Oh, I guess your account, civility and decorum is more important than Palestinian lives. Smol bean staff like Transistor and Nepenthe just can't help but run defense for the greatest moral failing of our time and you wouldn't want them to face their complicity in genocide let alone sexual abusers like B-Chuds.

Kind of surreal that Lego Batman is the game to include regular henchwomen (it's always silly when video games do the "men only from grunts") before the Arkham games did. Nice choice.

(and no, the League of Assassins weren't grunts, they were clearly treated like specialists, similar with other game where women can only be snipers or special characters when their villains because of the chauvinistic idea that it would sexist for superheroes/main characters to hit women... Under the sexist idea that ANY woman, from Wonder Woman, Ninjas, clearly strong fighters, street gangs etc are inherently "weak" and "frail").

The thing is that console prices aren't uniquely high in the US (PS5 is 550€ in the EU), so claiming that this is solely because of the tariffs always seemed a bit too simple for me

It's because Kotaku would run a headline "NEW BATMAN GAME LETS YOU LIVE OUT YOUR WOMEN BEATING FANTASIES" and Era would have a 30 page thread about it full of chuds dismissing concerns that ladies like you would have to seek refuge in the Burka thread from. It would become "well known" that the devs did this so chuds could seek out the women specifically to beat during streams and videos to convert everyone to fascism. For years to come prominent posters would rush into threads to say things like "people are really buying the women beating simulator? Fucking capitalism."

[Snoopy]

If they didn't allow recording of the demo to avoid unfavorable footage of the game in an earlier state, why even demo the game? Contractual obligation? If the game is dipping to 10-15 FPS in the open-world in an open-world game then don't show it, now they've earned the 'Elden Ring on Switch 2 is not good' thumbnails that will be plastered on forums to fuel cherry-picked analysis that ignores the other high-quality PS4 ports. It's difficult to wipe the stench of a first bad impression.

Hi, did a similar thread a few days ago on the Etcetra side of ERA so why not try to make a big positive thread here as well.



What are those video game characters, scene from video games or just video games themselves that make you feel happy? Give you joy whenever you play them and make you smile with joy; whether because of childhood nostalgia, they make you feel good when you're sad etc?



Please don't judge or be mean to others in this thread, this is meant to be a positive thread. 


Bellossom, my favourite Pokémon always makes me smile, they've been my fav since my original run through of Pokémon Silver 25 years ago (that just made me feel old).



Tekken Tag Tournament 2 always makes me happy to play, love that game and was my stress reliever for a long time when I suffering extreme stress at Secondary School.



Cammy and scenes with her with cats or relating to her cat obsession, I find this VERY relatable, adorable and the scene in Super/Ultra SF4 where she greats the Hospital ridden future girlfriend Juni with a white cat to cheer her up always makes me smile.
