I don't recall when I first heard it. Funny, I still never played SOTN but I did play all the GBA castlevania games via emulation.
Wait, i swear i have seen blobber being used as a term in other places, in fact, i think i saw it before i even learned of RPG Codex?
Doing a Google Search shows it is a term used to describe a genre, Wikipedia, Giantbomb, Urban Dictionary and other sites like RPGWatch have used the term blobber, i don't know when it started but i wouldn't be suprised if it predated RPG Codex.
Besides, even if it's associated with something the poster hates, what else will he call it, it's just like metroidvania, a term some people hate but fits so well and became so popular it will never dissapear.
the only people who use it are codexersBlobbers seemed to spread across the interwebs.
I always feel bad about my score on the white-black test, so I figured I could feel better about myself by taking the Native American one. I can say with all honesty that I have never once had a negative thought about Native Americans as a group. I had to struggle to even think of a Native American slur. Not only that, but I also don't think I've even met anyone who expressed a racist opinion about Native Americans. If anything, I've always been exposed to positive associations.
My scores were worse than they were on the white-black test. I may not think Native Americans are "bad"; I just think they're over. I took that test about three weeks ago, and I've thought about it every day since then.
In short, I thought, I got this.
Well, Harvard got the best of me.
Reminds me of the true believer in 1984 who makes anti-party remarks in his sleep and is grateful to his son for snitching on him. The implicit bias bullshit is the peak of white people inventing ways to prove to themselves that they're always going to be racist no matter what and always have an reason for self-flagellating.
I wonder what is the average results by blacks or native americans if they try these tests.
Most white people, and even an unfortunate percentage of black people
There's lots of bias based on skin color. Just check e.g., the kind of money that gets pumped into urban schools(minority white) vs rural schools(massive-majority white.)I wonder how much of all this bias and "systemic racism" has more to do with people's socio-economic status than their skin colour.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/us/politics/rural-schools-funding-cut.htmlIn states like Connecticut, Michigan, and Massachusetts, rural districts received 50 percent less funding from the federal government per poor pupil than urban counties. Even in other states, urban districts received between 20 to 50 percent more funding than their rural counterparts.
...Yet rural schools tend to produce children with better educations despite the massive lack of funding.Rural school districts, which serve nearly one in seven public-school students, have long been considered the most underfunded and ignored in the country.
Unless you live near a reservation your odds of even encountering a real indigenous person are extremely low. I can't even remember the last time I interacted with one.I remember my brother who studied in the US telling my how people looked down on (some) Native Americans because they walked instead of driving, for example.
I mean, he's played how many games over how many years?He should probably just put the project on hiatus and take a break, since he is clearly burned out.

And having a blog must make it feel like work sometimes, and i doubt every game is exactly great, i find people that take "play hundreds of games challenges" to be a bit insane, like those who want to play ever NES or Game Boy game ever made.
I don't think he ever found any joy in it.

The Addict has decided to take a break from not writing about Angband (honestly, I should have predicted he'd do a poor job of that game - he's made clear over the years that one of the prime sources of enjoyment for him in RPGs is being able to undertake exhaustive mapping. Angband, with its infinite, random levels largely devoid of special features, doesn't offer much in this regard) to talk about problematic depictions of Native Americans.
