I'm old enough to remember when the sci-fi notion of a disembodied computer voice waking you up in the morning, knowing enough about you to strike up a conversation, and accompanying you through your daily routine sounded wonderful.
Now it gives me chills. That old wonderful dream is actually possible now if I turned off all my malware blockers and let :lord-bezos-amused: fully into my home.
It's so weird, it's like art fans that hate the very idea of art.
They claim to be all about "free speech", but want games to be inoffensive, flavorless mush. Even Hades, a game about fucking GREEK MYTH was denounced as garbage because Zagreus could enter a same-sex relationship. Hell, they consider it to be too PC (and therefore dangerously subversive) for Thor to be fat and red-haired instead of a carbon copy of Marvel thor in the new God of War game.
Has it ever occurred to them, that they are NOT the target audience for a lot of games? Gaming is diverse and unique. You may not like every game and that's okay, there's bound to be one that hits just right. Fuck Gamergate for trying to gentrify it into being some Haye's code friendly, soccer mom approved, Walmartified version of my hobby. Meanwhile. claiming that they have a Monopoly on gaming culture (and in a way, they're kinda right now).
Ancient Greek stuff without LGBTQIA+ characteristics is downright offensive to me. It's such a grossly ignorant (or malicious and deliberate) distortion of the literature and mythos as it was written.
Nope. Not once ever.
