Beige Games.

You know Beige Games. Bland experiences that ride off the coattails of better products or exist by the numbers. Scrub things too cleanly, play everything too safe or use little breadcrumbs of things for the media to talk about instead of quality to advertise now https://t.co/uWphcKMQfW

They are farted out and forgotten about. They are never trending because "Wow look at how cool this is" but purely because some journo found a tweet with two impressions to stoke controversy, praised for how clean it is or "look this character is the first gay ever to exist"

You're either trans or your not, though. Being trans isn't some wishy-washy art thing.

I can get how it can be trans symbolism but there's a massive bridge between "this character is symbolism" and "this character is literally trans, fight me"

Literally any progression of character development can mean a character is trans in that respect.

If a character is canonically trans then that's fine. It's set in stone.

But if a character is confirmed cis, what then? The goalposts get moved and the argument rages on.

The problem with having so few big sites is many of them can make absolutely terrible decisions that no one likes and there won't be any pushback that matters because there's no viable alternative

Discord with usernames, Reddit with its API, Twitch with is crackdown on ads... It's like anything YouTube does. They can ban half its videos tomorrow for some vague reason and what'll happen is people will get mad... and continue with YouTube because there's no real alternative. It's like they're going "What are you gonna do, go to DailyMotion? Pfft."

Porn addiction arguments are always

"I should be allowed to spend $500,000 on feet pics with no one questioning me"

Vs

"You should be murdered for even looking at someone you're attracted to"

It's never anything about how to treat an addiction as if its alcoholism or smoking "Porn Addiction" is the most Reddit addiction ever.

There's literally no desire to help those "addicted" without the ulterior motive of converting them to some weird ass even more toxic way of thinking that makes having 500tb of Nicole Watterson porn look sane.

If you let a youtuber "indoctrinate" you into anything that says more about your parents and how they should have banned you from the internet.

Reading this it's like they really, desperately WANTED to be "indoctrinated" so they can overcome something and look good. But they can't say they willingly watched actual Alt-Right stuff so they go for the "pipeline" picks that aren't fully cancellable.

Literally both of these appearances are about him playing second fiddle to a version of Peter Parker.

Miles can be cool, both of those things are good, but Peter Parker isn't going to be secondary to Miles Morales who still has to have a game with the title "Miles Morales" in it so people know which Spider-Man you're playing as.

I might be drunk but Twitch/streamer posting is just a worse version of Pro Wrestling.

All twitch drama is fabricated, every controversy is beneficial and these actors need marks to draw them dimes.

And there are obsessives that think the love is real and pay their money.

Like Pokimane knows what's she's doing. They ALL know what they're doing. When one drama ends, one will sprout up. The next story is written and then when that runs its course another will come up.

None of these people are real. At least someone gets sent through a table in WWE.

First impressions of Forza Horizon 5 is basically "Looks smoother, plays smoother" but it's essentially taking the hard work of 4 and putting it in a new game

Things put in it that annoy me (like a needless voiced protag, removal of cars ect) but most will eventually be solved Forza Horizon 4 did a LOT of muscle in middle of it's life cycle to add things and improve things from release. No doubt 5 will be doing the exact same.

But at the moment all it does is make me want to get back to 4, which felt more fully made and less annoying.

The GTA Trilogy gets worse and worse the more I see.

- 25 songs missing from Vice City alone (including half of K-Rock and a song SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR THE GAME)
- Some cheats removed
- Unnecessary censorship
- Literally just didn't try with certain art assets - Reportedly glitchy as all hell
- 22 songs missing from San Andreas (another half of an entire station is cut)
- Some really weird character rigging

It's really, really weird.

My take on video game difficulty is the same as it ever was.

I'm fine with options. I'm fine with people playing on super easy modes. I'm also fine with games choosing a single difficulty if it serves a purpose.

And I'm fine with people modding said hard games to be easier. I'm not a hardcore elitist with difficulty. I tend to just play on the middle difficulty or the one recommended and go harder on repeat playthroughs.

I've tried to play Dark Souls and Bloodborne. I just didn't like it. If I can get over the fact a game isn't for me, you can too.

My friend, I say this as one of Crunchyrolls biggest critics and has someone who does want to see them just go.

This is woeful stuff.

This is how you give people irony poisoning into defending Crunchyroll.

This is a Crunchyroll psyop and you cannot convince me otherwise
