This technically isn't a "low effort" thread but it's a massive waste of time to post regardless 😜

I never understood how their ban on "list threads" works because what is this thread if not a list thread. The Op is a list and the replies are a list.

Wow, I checked back and they pinned the fucking thing.

Stickying this thread for a few days since this is an unprecedentally insane month

If you really want to see the games coming out in any month, it's likely easier to google (or use the "coming soon" section of your platform of choice) rather than attempting to scroll that mess to find something interesting. Especially since you'll have to do that anyway to wishlist or actually buy stuff!

More importantly, Angie never offers any real insight whatsoever into anything. She is essentially a bot.

Probably a bit dramatic, but every time I see this it feels a bit like the death of game visuals to me. It really feels gross. So many talented artists I've known training their entire lives to create these detailed and believable worlds just to have some filter over top adjusting it to be something else, just feels wrong. I hope this is more of an interesting fad than a glimpse of how games will be made…



But maybe this is the last push to kill gaming realism and make people go back to more stylized artistry etc.



I've always said when you watch shows like Breaking Bad you aren't constantly amazed by the visuals, it is just reality and you are enveloped in the stories, acting, compositions etc. and eventually that genre of game will be the same, reality is a back drop for a different type of story. Maybe this just pushes that distinction even further?



But I absolutely hate it turning subtle stylized games into forced photo-realism. That shit seems wrong…



Anyways, just ranting. Hate it.

The death of game visuals where all the talented artists have a filter put over top of their work....a filter that the developers themselves fit and tune into their own game before release, deliberately integrating it around their own rendering pipeline and artistic vision they intentionally chose if they decide to use it....fuck this hellscape.

She's the one that signed up to do a marketing campaign that firmly placed her front and center in the culture war and tied her wagon to MAGA

I'm interested to see how she feels about that association now, she failed horribly at trying to cleaning up and dodging the allegations

Make no mistake, she, her lawyer, and her agent had a long talk about the calculus of becoming MAGA Barbie, they all agreed to this as a collective and went forward with it

Is that what actually happened though or is it something else they’ve told themselves enough times that now it’s just the truth, despite it not actually being true?

stumbled across this, was curious, since generally she doesn't do all that much besides defend against everyone attacking her

https://www.them.us/entertainment/celebrity/jk-rowling-transphobia-ranked

11 Times J.K. Rowling Did Something Wildly Transphobic, Ranked

the list:

11. Tone deaf Dolly Parton tribute (it's transphobic to...write a message in memoriam of someone you respect)

10. Accidentally wrote “f*ck up some TERFs” on a child’s drawing (mistaken text paste, embarrassing)

9. Accused Olympic boxer Imane Khelif of being trans (she has the SRY gene which provides physical advantages in sport)

8. Transvestigated another athlete (dumb of her)

7. Smoked a cigar to celebrate being a TERF (actually smoked a cigar to celebrate a human rights win in court)

6. Accidentally turned herself into a meme (it's transphobic to...change your profile picture partly depicting a wall that some users decided has black mold on it?)

5. Whined about being doxxed (it's transphobic to whine about being doxed)

4. Wrote a transphobic character that sounds an awful lot like herself (sure)

3. Called David Tennant the "gender Taliban" (sure, I suppose)

2. Dared police to arrest her (it's transphobic to dare police to arrest you on the basis of gender-related speech, and then they don't, which must prove you weren't being transphobic?)

1. Posted an upskirt photo (didn't)

I thought all the outrage about that was a right-wing myth and nobody, not even the many posters on Era saying otherwise, thought it was a deliberate eugenics ad from the Zios at American Eagle demanding the forced extermination of all non-Aryans? 

You know, eugenics, the thing MAGA never stops talking about wanting because of their incredible love of state public health officials with grand visions for society inbetween thinking Fauci is trying to kill everyone with vaccines and 5G and labeling everyone they don't like as an adrenochrome addict pedophile.

I can't help but feel they've blown their load too early. I was expecting the release date to be at TGA, but finding out it's coming out in April is like 7 months away.



Yet I feel I've seen the whole game.



It dilludes my anticipation and hype a little bit and I don't need to see anything more till like March.



Like compare to the Ocarina of Time remake, which is coming out in the next few months and we only have a tiny little teaser so far



Feels like they're overplaying their hand a little bit, is all.

Lol at 5 over the last few years they basically proved her point that many trans 'activists' are abusive narcissists who when not obeyed, quickly move to threats of murder and rape on women and girls not playing their game. And they never get called out by their community, for being psychotic pieces of shit. We've all seen Reee members previously infer she should be attacked. Though Mods seem to have clamped down on any threats to public figures after some of the nutters there started saying President Cheeto should be 'dealt' with,  

On the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance in 2021, comedian Holly Stars, actor Georgia Frost and drag king Richard Energy protested Rowling’s anti-trans views by staging a demonstration and posting a photo holding signs in front of the author’s home near Edinburgh, Scotland.

Rowling took exception to her house numbers being visible in the photo and accused the “actor activists” of “doxxing” her in an eight-tweet rant on X. But is it doxxing if the information is already public? Rowling claimed she received “so many death threats I could paper the house with them,” but both of her residences are historical landmarks, and one even has its own Wikipedia page.

They thought trying to doxx her would make her back down.

Nope.



I know a lot of these folks regret even trying to go toe to toe with her. She has time and more importantly profile and money to keep this going. 

I was told by a lot of leftists that they don't bully or doxx anyone.

My guy was sexually assaulting cats that he mistook for female skunks.

He didn't take no for an answer.

Even as a wee lad I thought it was very very weird. I felt for the cats.

I know the whole Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies line is hella problematic overall, but I fully understand the Le Pew's weirdo vibe pretty early.

I know the character wasn't even in the new Space Jam. Looks like he's on ice.

wasn't the joke always that he's a stinky smelly skunk and NOBODY wanted to be near him? there's usually an establishing shot at the start where he wilts flowers and random passerby run from him in terror

his targets aren't trying to get away from him because of sexual assault, they're trying to get away because he stinks

there's also the matter that he's, y'know, romancing them with gifts and poetry, not raping them

he also regularly got the tables turned on him

No, wasn’t, or at least I remember his cartoons always ended with him still harassing the cat. I don’t remember he ever having some slapstick punishment that the coyote got.

the last example in this video is actually a pretty wholesome one, a cat was born with a stripe and cannot attract a boyfriend because everyone thinks she's a skunk, but pepe and her discover each other and enthusiastically embrace...but she can't tolerate his smell, and tries multiple times to find a way to reciprocate (sprays him with perfume but his smell overpowers it) because she really does want to be with him. pepe eventually finds out what "pew" means, and gets himself de-scented so he can be with his love, and in the meantime the cat decides that she might as well become as stinky as him and goes to a limburger cheese facility, the next time they embrace pepe runs from her smell as she chases him

I love Ree threads on the impossibility of dating where it becomes apparent that before they’ve even met the girl they’ve started sperging about modding games and Marvel movies

Here's a pic of him from two years ago, he's even fatter now. No wonder he cries about his health issues to RE, he's pushing forty and this is the state he's in.

All those physical games and his still a fatass.

Just browsing the threads for Monster Hunter Ascendance DLC, FFVII news, Crimson Desert DLC, etc., it genuinely looks like this community doesn't even like video games.  It's just petulant gripes and whining. 

AI is killing gaming! The industry is collapsing due to corporate greed! Gaming companies are evil and firing their talented devs!



But also...

fuck these stupid games they're making for not catering to my very specific tastes; they all look like trash. Fuck Capcom, Fuck Square-Enix, fuck Sony, Fuck Microsoft.    

Do these fuckers even enjoy this hobby?    Or has it simply become a conduit to scream into the void and be miserable?

REEE have made it abundantly clear they care more about talking about videogames than actually playing them. A normal person would just read the headlines of whatever game event or turn on/off the stream when it's something they do/don't care about but ohohoho not REEEE. They HAVE to be hooked into the stream and online 24/7 shoot their worthless opinions out into the void on frame 1 or else their life has no meaning. FOMO's a bitch.

I mean, he still did sexual harassment with the whole kissing without their consent.
