I’m not sure what this means.
 
So they're saying that people attempting to transcend their physical forms and turning into horrific, insane humanoid abominations as a result is a trans allegory?

Pretty apt, ngl.
Better not show these people the cancelled Looking Glass RPG where one of the example quests is a bunch of people on an asteroid who worship an alien race altering their DNA to become horrifying malfunctioning mutants.
I can see the IGN exclusive headline already "THE 90'S RPG THAT WAS CANCELLED DUE TO TRANSPHOBIA?" ...if any game journos even knew who the fuck Looking Glass were.

Just one quest? Bioshock was entirely about people altering themselves to the point of freakhood with questionable medical practices.

Thanks for reminding me about what they took from us. The LG game, not the heavy-handed and retarded tranny allegories.
 
  1. To get games protected status from government censorship. That was at a time when every other conservative political pundit was trying to say GTA, Mortal Kombat, and Manhunt were turning people into killers.
Or more recently, to get the government literally funding worthless "games" so the loser "devs" don't have to compete in the marketplace. The "devs" still chimp out when nobody wants to buy their sophomoric crap.

Case in point:

And what do they blame for nobody wanting to buy their shitty government-funded game? Why capitalism of course. They're owed free money from people for shit nobody wants.

Wasn't there stuff like that with the original Sailor Moon dub or something?
They were pretty inconsistent about it especially with other markets, ironically including the United States even though it would be bold and beautiful to do that now. They even had them called "cousins" in at least one dub, which considering the obvious innuendoes makes it kind of creepy really. Good job, take a normal relationship and turn it into incest.

Anyway even after they officially stated they were canonically a couple, some time in the last couple years they still issued some kind of merch calling them just "friends" and apologized for it.

Canada already has this issue where stuff funded by art grants usually winds up being vaporware or very poorly finished. This and their animation industry are full of gay bullshit like this were you have serial offenders who just open up studios in order to close them and then re-open a new studio to get more money.

I wonder if anyone equating body horror to being trans is aware they are basically calling trans people unnatural abominations.
 
This is probably the start for all of that confession,
Loads of single tweets, so I'll try to take as few as I can, but still comprehensible.
TL;DR: Ben is against NFT, while Dean Takahashi and Venture Beat advocate for it.
But all of this, I feel this whole thing is more suitable in the game journalism thread more than here.

After this, it's to Steelplatedheart post of Ben's tweets.

Then more of them on Ben's twitter, but he isn't really afraid of going to trial.

Idk why he needs to have his kids opinion to validate/confirm his belief against NFT.

I'm sure they're all corrupt.
Ben sounds like a schizo though.

I think NFTs are retarded but it's important to be clear here that beyond my personal taste in internet pog derivatives, NFTs and crypto have been so thoroughly smeared politically on the left that mentioning them in anything but disparaging terms is looking for trouble. Kuchera is just signaling his virtue and burning some old useless bridges on the way out because he wouldn't be doing this if Dean "how do I beat tutorial" Takeshi still had utility.

They don't hate NFTs because they're stupid, they hate them because they've been told that the people they hate might like them. Simple as.
 
So what finally broke the inner circle of game journos wasn't corruption scandals or a string of failing websites, but arguing over NFTs? As long as it gets the job done I'm happy.
 
Someone gifted me Mass Effect legendary edition and I have a question. They changed some of the camera angles to focus less on Miranda's butt in cut scenes but Jacks outfit which is literally leather straps covering her nipples and EDI's robo nips and camel toe were left intact.

Both those things are way more sexualized than the butt shot so what was the fucking point of that?
