Mass Effect board game

This is so pathetic.

They can't even be bothered to proofread.
Big bold capital letters - Priority Hagalaz.And in the very first sentence below, “Halagaz”.



THE FUCK

 

[Padzi]

Well.
More horrors: "arenaline" is on all the cards that have this ability. If they decide to reprint, they'll need to seriously invest in spellchecking.

 

[Alienman]

Man, didn't even run it through a spellcheck before printing.

That picture is out of date. It's now up to 164 ratings of one.

Oh, interesting. It looks like around 50 of those 1-star reviews were removed.

Well, to have a review on a site, you should at least have played the thing. It'd be nice if a few Codexers figured that one out.

Anyway, I get why that game designer's so pissed. He hit the anvil while it was hot, having the perfect tie in for a video game that many people hated only 12 years after it released. Try capturing that lightning in a bottle again.

Jennifer Hale doesn't earn a premium, she just makes more because she has lines in every game.

Or cartoons/movies for that matter. She's one of disney voice actresses for fuck sack.

It is more of a commentary on the other female voice actors. Those that make themselves difficult to work with or schedule don't get repeat business. Hale is someone who shows up when you have a job. Most of her peers think they are secretly an unappreciated movie star that is slumming it for some pocket money and make themselves difficult to work with.

Well, that's one game I won't be buying.

Decided to go see how the liberals on BGG were reacting. Apparently, it's censorship now. I thought changing things during localization wasn't censorship. As usual for these kinds of threads, half the posts are deleted.

A representative from Asmodee Blackfire CZ, the producer of the Czech language version, recently posted on the largest Czech board-gaming website. They stated that they are actively pursuing and negotiating with the developer to avoid using pronouns in the Czech version. The representative added, 'Feel free to play the game with the notion that she (Liara) identifies as a tram.'. This came directly from their Brand Manager. This is not only extremely childish, rude, and insulting to all transgender and non-binary individuals, but they also shamelessly admit that they are actively trying to censor the game for the Czech market.

Good. Liara never, ever referred to herself as "they". Damn, I hate that people want to teach us how to live. They can call us out, point things out to us, but when we don’t like their views, we’re suddenly the evil ones.

Right. Reverting stuff back to the Mass Effect canon with no pronoun bullshit is suddenly "censorship" for the wokes.

It's probably because the Asari are a monogender race and they really wanted to shoehorn that pronoun in.

I agree 100%.
Also it's the only "new" pronoun for character.
Rest is just she or he.
They can really skip it.

Masqueoca are the guys who are getting boycotted at BGG because they made promotional Iron Crosses for their latest WWII game and gave them to crowdfunding backers and to some people at Essen, thereby offending the cucks. Good on them.

Edit - the aforementioned Iron Cross:

 

[Alienman]

Heh, reminds me of when Paradox were cool. The anthology package for Hearts of Iron 2 came with something similar. However, they got around it a bit...

Spoiler

Here's hoping they won't back down. This insanity has to end.
