started playing both Ultrakill and Fields of Mistria, which feels like two completely opposite ends of the spectrum lmao

reckon that will carry over to PoE2? or do you think I’ll be able to basically route around the dev intent for the class designs?

how much do you reckon classes matter then? Shame that there really isn’t that much variety in the fem body types, but if classes are loose then i suppose it’s something

I was really looking forward to PoE2, but I was working under the assumption that would be something they’d fix but it really does feel like women characters are locked down to specific class tropes :/

just found out about Scion (the only strength woman char in POE1) and then promptly found out they’re specifically not bringing her across to POE2

i just wanna be a girl and swing big weapons :((

are POE2 genders locked to classes again? I like playing as STR women characters in RPGs and I remember in POE1 you could only play thin, dex or int based female chars (because buff women don’t exist)

unless im mistaken about POE1?

funny enough i think alan wake in the sequel joins this club too

behold the face of a man who’s lost control of his life

I wanna take everyone on this site with good faith, and im gonna take Ulysses’ advice and ask cos i might be misreading entirely and it’s irresponsible of me to be making assumptions so I’m really sorry about that, but are you not saying that Japan was able to make ‘GTA but Good’ because they’re Japanese (i.e. not steeped in western culture like the GTA team)? sorry if I misunderstood the ‘Japanese Approach’ comment

am I misreading this? you talked about how Yakuza and GTA being different, and then doublepepperoni chipped in that that’s because it’s like GTA but with ‘a Japanese approach’

then you said that what you meant is the lack of edginess, the care for the characters, and then doublepepperoni said that that’s what they mean by ‘Japanese approach’

i took that to mean like, Japan was able to create ‘GTA without being edgy’ because the devs behind it were either Japanese or coming from Japanese culture

which maybe has its merits? but it does feel a little idk it feels iffy i dont know what to tell you

again, i get it if that’s not actually what’s being implied, i might be on edge because I’ve been dealing with a lot of privileged white people getting stuck in their ‘Eastern Mysticism’ stuff and I’m seeing issues where there are none, which would be valid

calling this a ‘Japanese Approach’ has some weird racial undertones that aren’t really alleviated by doubling down

also pretending that Japanese media doesn’t also have its fair share of edginess for its own sake is wild

wouldn’t be surprised, i luckily don’t have an algorithm that serves me that but the crowd is one hundred percent from the chud Gamer-sphere

you can tell because they start off getting mad that ‘the Official Godot twitter account is blocking customers who replied in good faith’ which is already laughable, and then when you press them on it they go on about how politics is going to make Godot go broke (also laughable)

im so glad that the term tourist has gained the meaning it has - cos that’s what all these people complaining about ‘woke’ godot are

tourists looking to try and pick a fight with the indie game dev crowd, and you know they aren’t part of that crowd cos if they ever even interacted with it once they would know how fucking queer and anti-capitalist our scene is

pro-tip: do not look at the reddit comments for this whole controversy, so many motherfuckers in there who are so clearly just drive-bys

i mean, to me it very much looks like a corset/bodice/bodysuit, considering the lace goes right down to her crotch, but either way we’re now entering ‘she dresses horny because it makes her feel empowered’ territory of male-driven treatistry

i like how she’s super badass, wearing all this armour on 90 percent of her body, wielding those massive guns and yet the artist still took the time to have her pose to push her boobs out, which are coincidentally the most highlighted part of her figure lmao

they just can’t help themselves

eta: i just looked a the full picture - i didnt realise she was wearing a mask, meaning her boobs are the ONLY exposed part of her lmfao

been playing a bunch of Satisfactory, gotten myself to Tier 7 which is the furthest I’ve gotten

also been throwing in some Deadlock, been having a bit of fun with that now that I know what I’m doing

thinking about picking up Ultrakill or replaying some Doom 2016 for some level design inspiration for game dev stuff too :)

he might like Fallout 3, there’s a church in it

the small text at the bottom is the Frederick Douglass quote ‘freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude’ over and over

dunno if it goes harder but i’ve always thought the cover for It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back went hard

man i was really looking forward to getting back into RoR2 :(

fuck the big publishers, i need more indie houses taking the lead and maybe one day we’ll bleed them dry

thank god im not the only one who hates this fucking nepo baby god i hate how much the algorithm has been pushing him

yknow i had been craving some minecraft

if it’s a US based server my ping is gonna be horrendous but that shouldn’t be too bad in minecraft right
