Can someone explain this "chud" thing to me? What's this supposed to mean? Is "chud" the new "incel racist"?

 

[damager]

Yes. I think it's supposed to combine chad with cuck. They got butthurt getting called cucks so hey came up with this.

But we made it our own in no time. Chud Life baby

The one time the left manages to meme they make a name that sounds like straight out our playbook and hand it to us to dunk on them more

Imagine playing an RPG in current year and not being able to play as evil, one of the most entertaining things to do an RPG.

This is not a game anymore; like I read it elsewhere, it's just ridiculous political indoctrination for toddlers masked as a game.

EA Boss Says BioWare Has Returned to Its Strengths With Dragon Age, Predicts 'Breakout Potential' Thanks in Part to 'Limited Competition'​

"BioWare has rallied around what made BioWare a fan-favorite studio and a fan-favorite brand and the types of games they make – incredibly rich worlds, incredibly nuanced characters, really powerful and compelling stories with comaraderie and friendships and relationships, and decisions that matter in the context of gameplay," Wilson said. "And I think it’s been that return to what made BioWare great and giving the studio time to deliver against what makes BioWare great in the context of the Dragon Age world is what amounts to Dragon Age: The Veilguard."

Looking ahead to The Veilguard's release, Wilson praised its solid reviews and suggested that it has "breakout potential" thanks to BioWare's existing fanbase and the relatively clear release calendar. "We're going into a market with limited competition for this category of game given some of the moves that has happened across the broader industry," Wilson said, likely referring to Ubisoft's decision to delay Assassin's Creed Shadows into 2025.

“BioWare has Return.” Hey, the EA boss is saying the same thing all those over the top blowjob reviews from different outlets are saying, what a coincidence.

Limited competition is pretty funny. This fucking shit is going to get buried by the Monster Hunter Wild beta that’s going on. There will be more people playing that beta on Steam than playing this thing tomorrow.

Chud has become a swear word in the Arkhangelsk region. As late as 1920, people of that region used legends of the Chuds to scare small naughty children.

There.

Legends of the Chuds sounds like a good game title.

My theory is that for someone to end up as soft and sensitive as these types of people, you have to be a victim of bullies for your whole life without ever figuring out how to bite back. So they're all trash at being mean to people. Anyone with a lick of sense would hear the word chud and know it has a nice ring to it. Can't hurt someone's feelings with a nice ring.

I bring you the good stuff. I recorded all sequences from the Qunari non-binary companion, Taash. Spoilers are a given (unless you don't care about her story).

RE: Did wokeness cause the awful writing - I honestly think trying to be woke and inoffensive is a big reason this game is shit. When nothing can be "problematic" and "bad representation", where is the drama and conflict going to come from? There is nothing to these characters outside of being LGBT. Where are my disaster bisexuals who wake up half drunk in ditches not knowing how they got there? Where is the overcompensating gay macho who constantly gets into unnecessary fights to prove he's macho and gets beat up in taverns? The homeless junkie who is constantly high on lyrium but can somehow swing a spell or two because of that?

There is none of that, just the Qunari (coming from an extremely rigid society) explaining what non-binary is and how to use "they" in a sentence. Taash would've been a great exploration of what happens when a person born in the Qun simply can't conform to the expectations. Ostracization and homelessness aren't out of the question.

The Penny Arcade guys have noticed the games media's "confused" attitude towards this game:

1 day and 7 hours, aren't you all excited

 

[Asymptotics]

Aren't chuds the underground horse people from Rick and Morty?

Sorry, we don't have 150 IQ to watch Rick and Morty.

 

[Hag]

Aren't chuds the underground horse people from Rick and Morty?

May be a reference to the '84 CHUD movie.

That looks really cool, going to watch it.

It comes from a movie.

Weird similarities:

Not at bloody all.


You see, game reviewers play a load of games. That doesn't necessarily make them masters of beauty though. "Return to form" is one of those trite and banal phrases, dead language that has a mass revival every time another Fifa or COD (or Dragon Age) is released.

Google "return to form + Black Ops 6".
Google "return to form + Fifa"
Google "return to form + Call Of Duty"

Or go looking.

Do you believe in coincidences?

 

[Lacrymas]

Also, reminder that "return to form" for BioWare would be BG1, not DA:O. DA:O was hated here when it launched and was declared a harbinger of decline.
