Look out Kodex, she has a penis!

Looks like a cock reveal lmao

What a twist. The whole game we're led to believe Taash is FtM, when it's actually MtFtM.

I watched the Shillup review and I am shocked by how horrendous the voice acting is. If Bioware wanted to do a dating sim this should have been one of their number one priorities. Compare this



to the voice direction in Elden Ring, a game I am replaying right now:

Ali Hillis is a good voice actress and she voiced Liara, it's a problem with DA:V's dialogues and writing in general.

RIGHTEOUS TARNISHED

CURSE YOU BAYLE!

How am I just now realizing that Ranni has the same voice actress as Mio in Xenoblade 3?

She is pretty cute

 

[kangaxx]

Is that the bird from Slow Horses?

Unionised American actors vs. some random English bloke that Miyazaki met in a maid cafe

What the fuck is that cut scene direction? All that is missing is a dangling horsecock. To think these people have censored Miranda's ass some time ago.

 

[Spectral Pontifex]

These "people" really do hate anything beautiful and want to bring the world down to their level.

Yes Taash, Trash, whatever, come here: let me show you how we do it old school

So it's a man who pretends to be a woman who pretends to be a man.

It's heteronormativity with extra steps.

Wasn't it with Moorcock that the moral revisionism of fantasy began? The first novel, a fix-up of short stories from the 1960s, had themes of incest, sadomasochism, cuckoldry, homosexuality, transvestism, transsexualism and hermaphrodism. Plus a lot of nihilism. And yet Elric, Jerry's multiverse variant, is the basis of both the beloved Codex The Wither and Warhammer...

I think we can safely admit that today's state of fantasy is just another step in the great march away from Tolkien and Howard.

Even Moorcock has more nuance than any of this slop though.

I was just wondering out loud, but I guess some people took my post a little too literally.

The problem is - whether we can really talk about the inevitability of degeneration when we move away from stable moral patterns (Tolkien is an obvious case, but Conan is a character with a strong moral backbone, even if non-Christian). This is a broader issue, isn't it? If straying from orthodoxy is the path to degeneration, it would mean we could never afford to take liberties. We would always have to stick to the basics so as not to wake up one day in a world of chaos. If this is true, human life would be a terrible endeavor.

I was thinking about this because personally I have always preferred Moorcock, even if realizing the imperfections of his writing. Therefore, the question about Moorcock is a question about myself as a recipient - whether, through my liking, I contributed, along with him, to the state we have today.

Let's start from " Make Blight a Thing Again!"

There, done.

This was a proper way for Dragon Age - edgy, bloody, gore.

When referencing The Bard's Tale, please always rely on the glorious Commodore Amiga graphics and animations:

Sadness. That's what this whole thing is: sadness. The RPG genre is being killed right before our eyes.

IIRC this was literally the first time he ever did voice acting work for a video game

This was all under the watchful eye of FromSoftware President Hidetaka Miyazaki, who Lintern reveals was present for both of his sessions. Although the two didn't communicate much directly due to the language barrier, the actor says Miyazaki was deeply involved in the feedback loop by poring over every recorded line with his creative team, including voice director Adam Chapman, whom he praised for easing him into his first-ever video game voice role. As for the recording process itself, the 61-year-old actor said basically all the feedback he received in between takes came down to Chapman asking him to "explode" even more.

Lintern ultimately described his experience working with FromSoftware as utterly "epic," likening Igon to some of Shakespeare's characters that he played, not least because of how serious the creative process of bringing him to life was.

Simply typing “Dragon Age Veilguard” into Youtube just brings up a bunch of videos that either dunk on it or talk about how the review scores are obviously inflated. Occasionally, a shill video will sneak it’s way into the search results, but they’re few and far between.

Aren't Youtube searches personalized for you?

Yes, when you’re logged in or if it takes your search and watch history into account. I did it in a incognito tab.

Yes, like Google search. If you have been watching any of the current videos about shitguard being shit you will get more videos about that on your feed and searches. Just like if you started to watch horse dick futas you will get a bunch of related videos.

"Chapters 12 to 14"

Bro, is this fucking War and Peace? Is this the version of the Iliad where Paris runs off with Henry of Troy?

Speaking of the writer. Apparently *it* has a website, and, well, it's something to behold indeed:

https://patrickweekes.com/about/

Imagine your father deciding to become non-binary, change his name from Patrick to trick, and dye his hair blue. In his late 40s.

"Patrick Weekes lives in Canada with their non-platonic life partner Karin, their children,"

"I identify as pan and non-binary and use They/Them as my pronouns. My favorite part of being non-binary is arguing with different formal style guides about whether it has a hyphen."

I wish I can understand they/them pronouns, but I cant because they dont exist in my language. Too bad the same thing cant be said about these people.

Finally watched the IGN review. The fake, forced positivity is too much to bear. They earned those 43K dislikes.

Just because somebody is a journalist, doesn't necessarily mean he's a master of the beauty in language.

That was actually a prerequisite in a previous century when journalism was still independent and not a marketing arm of corpo-establishment.

Hunter Thompson comes to my mind for example. There were alot of great game journos also.
All lost. Like tears in a rain.
Enjoy shitty YouTube grifters.

Maybe it's a good game and the people who gave those dislikes are just butthurt.
