[dukeofwoodberry]

You shouldn't get all butt hurt because a character is straight.

Like you getting butt hurt by BG3 characters being gay. lol

Yeah all of them being gay is retarded and immersion breaking

Do you know what the cheapest modification most RPG devs can do to their games to appeal to a wider audience?
Make every character fall for the MC whether he's a male or female. I hope you enjoy the coming wave of RPGs

Except it's the number one complain about the game you tooth pick arm faggot

Haters on suicide watch

It's a good thing these paid reviews are cheap.

This is Sports Illustrated, an old hobby magazine. Do you know how old time magazines work? Whenever they review something it's paid as part of an advertising campaign. And that's for magazines in any subject. They existed for the purpose to provide bathroom or waiting room reading while as much space as possible is filled with ads to generate more revenue.

Difficulty is. Only a few loudmouth faggots like you complain about bears and gays

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Most creative people are shitlibs and a lot of nerd culture is derived from their "Reagan Bad" or "Nixon Bad" products

Why is it tho that most alt-right culture warriors always sit on the absolute bottom of the consoomer chain? The numbers of right wingers actually creating something that also resonates with a broad audience is very small.

Is it because "BG3 - Tiefling Holocaust" sounds like shit? Probably. Makes you think, does it?

I came across the ogre mounting scene last night, I too have felt the great shame of scuttling a fat bitch like the bugbear did.

You are aware of who is the source of the original photo which was traced to become this portrait, right? If yes, then you understand why some snowflake might have wanted revenge against Viconia in BG3.

who dat

Zdenka Podkapova. Google her. God knows lots of genetic material has been wasted on her photosessions over the years.

Gays are a great thing to complain about. We've been complaining about sodomites since 4000 BC as Jewish Tradition.

Star Trek, Star Wars

The show was made for subversion to begin with . The director is literally on the record saying he chose the space setting so he could push narratives about Vietnam and Racial Relations indirectly(because those things weren't allowed back then). George Lucas said also said Star Wars was about Vietnam, the evil Empire was supposed to be United States.

It's the easiest path to take - just parody something that someone else banged their head to come up with. Just "riff off", never say anything concrete, because then you would be vulnerable to criticism as well, and that's painful.

The most comfortable position in the world - write a shitty song about how "war is stupid" (literal lyrics) and just bathe in the applause.

They latch onto the trending thing - in the VIetnam era it was Vietnam. In the late cold war - it was the nukes*. It's only a sign of things improving that the biggest world evil they can latch onto today is the problem of young people feeling insecure in their teenage years.

/Politics mode off

* Notice how no one wrote crying songs about Afghanistani children or Iraqis (in neither of the wars pre- and post-Cold war), I guess they weren't as marketable

The greatest works of fictions are based on human fear in the future. That is why both sw and st will be forgotten in a generation,they were based on the now not the future.

You could say they have outlived the societal and cultural context which made them iconic. But in that context then, their creation was more or less inevitable.

I wonder sometimes what would be the subject matter and the story and characters who would summarize the post-2010 era? What would be the Star Wars movie of present day - would it feature AIs, eccentric tech billionaires, corrupt politicians? If you had to do a "the 2010s in one picture" the same way you have "the 1990s in one picture", what would that be?

We are already seeing the influx of superficial CRPG fans into the hobby, who are immediatly telling veterans that gay promiscuity being everywhere was always in D&D, beards on women is not a stomach-turning concept for 99.9% of the human race, Platonic male friendship does not exist, and that there is no agenda being driven, etc. All while there is plenty of evidence people are uncomfortable with this normalisation. Remember that beard drag queen thing in Eurovision a few years back (even if you don't watch it, it was in the news); an image literally nobody wanted to see normalised, just mysteriously being pushed as the winner, publicised as much as possible, nothing to see.





Geeks have learned through bitter experience that the moment people like this, often women (a group that famously can't seem to form Platonic friendships with each other), often gay (a group that famously sexualises all relations), are normalised into a masculine hobby, the hobby is marked for death. The hobby was always created by straight white men, paid for by them, maintained by them, brought to it's current popularity by them, often involving high levels of cameraderie, then the other communities jump on at the very end, as if this constitutes some kind of achievement, equal to originating it's entire creative energy then carrying it for 40 years. Think on that, and if you have a modicum of awareness the narrative should start to look shaky. The vectors of this propaganda themselves will not understand why they push what they push. They worship the shrine of egalitarianism obviously, without ever questioning whether egalitarianism is actually morally defensible or good for humanity. Their progressive axioms are too deeply ingrained, flatter their ego consciousness too much, to seriously question the damage their axioms do. Gatekeepers, knowing the process, feel they have to get nasty, tell these people to fuck off, make their hobby ngovernable, to maintain any hope of having their hard-won culture survive.

Happened to all sorts of pop culture in the last 20 years. Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, half of gaming, etc, etc, etc. Now it is CRPG's time. Critical Role did it for tabletop. Now Baldur's Gate III having 800,000 concurrent players, millions of sales, etc, will do it for CRPG gaming. Codex, prepare yourself for the next few years of entreeist subversion. The superior path is to create new tasteful gamers out of them.

Now now, we can have a reasonable discussion without outright implying that Star Wars or all the decades of capeshit from Marvel and DC were good at any point. These were always aimed at the lowest common denominator and cannot ever be redeemed. Pop culture? More like worthless shit culture.

There has always been and is a high brow culture alongside the pop culture. The problem there is that everyone sings its praises but a very small minority actually partake in it (not "consume" because it's not for consumption). I dare not summon Lacrymas, but he can explain more

 

[AwesomeButton]

You could say Baldur's Gate (1, II and 3) is a top achievement in the pop culture segment of an inherently pop culture medium.

Yep.

Each according to their abilities. Now fix my toilet.

Yeah, and despite their issues, I have more tolerance for poor/generic narratives in videogames. In the end, I’m mostly looking for good level design and gameplay mechanics. Conversely, no matter how many billions Marvel invests in their movies every year they still lack any redeeming qualities.

On the other hand, the worst of gaming (GaaS) can be much worse and evil than even the most atrocious content from the other segments of pop culture.
