We need to find the person who caused gaming to go "mainstream" and beat him to death with a solid gold brick that has a lemon wrapped around it.
Barry Manilow was popular in the 70's and 80's. Nobody would bring him up as a safe boring pop star by the mid 90's. By that time he was releasing big band music, concept albums and covering oldies instead of making pop music. It's like me shitting on modern pop and then talking about Friday by Rebecca Black. These devs are complete retards.

With how corrupt the gaming industry is, what do you guys think the chances of Mixtape getting a nomination spot in the 2026 Game Awards are? Or, God forbid, they manage to snag a few awards?
Kinda depends what the rest of the year looks like. I have a bad feeling it will get some nominations. To play devils advocate, it is different and unique in some areas. The issue is that it is not a game.

Something I think they could've done to shield themselves of all the criticism about how insufferable the main character is that they should've had the last scene be like 10 years in the future where Rockford is hooked up to a ventilator and in a coma in a hospital and Slater and Cassandra go visit her. That would've framed the entire game as more of the romanticized visions of a dying person which I think would reframe how insufferable and twee this "game" is.
Still wouldn't make it a 10/10, but would be less obvious that this is just a developers fantasy of what he would've done if he had a normal childhood and was born a woman instead of the reality that he's a man who was already a multi multimillionaire before he could walk.

People easily forget how long ago this shit started in gaming.


Unfortunately, for Annapurna Interactive it'll keep going so long as the banks are afraid of losing Daddy's business.
that music list is very 2010's. 90s cali/west coast would be southern cali punk or grunge. maybe they couldn't get the rights for the real music. how is there no No doubt, if not even pre tragic kingdom songs?
 
There is some sick fuck on /v/ that has been making porn threads about Mixtape none stop. Not just any porn, its fanfic between Casandra (the asian girl) and her dad fucking.

Wasn't she supposed to be hispanic, with the last name of "Morino"?
Morino could be of Italian or Japanese origin, judging by the simple fact that there are cities in either country named Morino. However, her father does neither look specifically Italian nor Japanese, so it's just wild guessing.

It could also be filipino, and he's noticeably browner than the other characters. I assumed he was supposed to be some sort of mexican, but it wouldn't be entirely out of place for something from the 80s or 90s to include an ambiguously brown person. I don;'t think they're actually supposed to be asian, as that usually would have been more obvious. Of course this is also dependent on the creators having any sense of what media from the 80s and 90s looked like and clearly they didn't... so who the fuck knows.

But Italian or Japanese? I doubt it.
 
You know, some people just happen to have somewhat darker or lighter skin. It's natural variation, and a brunette would be more likely to be a little bit darker. Or, she may be spending more time outside.
