Sex workers are pretty, but not every studio wants to design women in games to look like they are there to do sex work.

Even then they give them swimsuit and other outfits to emphasize their sexuality, like look at the first descendant original designs. Even while wearing body suits that hugged the butt, they were still pretty tame compared to the swimsuits and some of the later outfits.

Or Expedition 33, where most of the outfits are dress clothes and their Expedition suits, but have a swimsuit for everyone.

Or Street Fighter 6, which had some complaints about how Chun Li looked until they actually saw her in action and now they gave her a new swimsuit. That because of her movement it’s just constant butt and croch shots.

But that’s not good enough to the incels online, to the point of using Chun li nude mods to play Street Fighter 6. With the most famous example being a dude at a tournament, who ā€œforgotā€ to turn off his mods before his match.

I’m sure for someone who loved FF7 and loves contemporary action games etc it’s superb. It’s clearly really well made.

I just don’t… care.

I don’t understand why the post is written like an apology. You gotta do what you gotta do. Patreon I’m not sure, but there’s been plenty of indie teams who have used Kickstarter to fund projects. Crowd funding to keep the lights on, not fire people, and provide content isn’t the worst outcome. Hopefully they find more stable ground soon.

For that matter all the literal porn games. For better or worse more of everything is available to satisfy different groups of people nowadays. If they really wanted to make an argument about it, I could see some more reasonable ones about the credit card companies policing morality.

I’m not out to kink shame anyone. I certainly don’t need my browser history revealed. And I enjoy some good Nightwing, er Powergirl variant covers myself. It’s just, guys it takes a certain type to think the entire world is against them because not every female character in every video game is a malnutritioned supermodel.

This would make a lot of sense to me if true. I don’t see how this could be brought up by anyone but bad actors or rage baiters. I know nothing about the CEO, but I also hope the game does well. It seems to have a good fanbase.

For those that were erroneously flagged by a user for, calling out incels (and the misogyny they breed in the gaming sphere, which is why most women don’t want to talk to them in the first place), just know that those flags have been rejected and the user has been addressed.

For the record: I, at least, do not support the very mechanisms which allow the incel hatred that has led to mass harassment of women and the LGBTQ community, actual murders, and political upheavals which will take decades to repair. So please, when you see someone clearly starting to spew that bullshit here, please flag and tag me if necessary.

Sounds rough, I think I understand why they’re going with Patreon as that doesn’t have a set date to reach the needed money to fund the project. In this instance, I guess is whatever cut Patreon takes seems like a better option that hoping they could reach their goal in time.

But then I have to wonder how many people they would need to help with the funding? Since a lot of kickstsrters also have really large donations thrown in with the smaller ones.

I’m there, I loved the first two in the series and seeing what Larian can do with their current experience and resource-level, will certainly be a treat :slight_smile:

At some point, it’s an addiction and a perversion. It should be treated as it is. It’s not a sane and normal behavior.

Was checking out the Xbox end of the end of the year vid on Xboxera when I noticed that Jerryrigeverything has a durability video for the Xbox Ally X.

Has anyone played the FF VII remake demo yet? Is it a decent port?

It’s a miserable video if memory serves, mostly just says ā€œbuy a steam deckā€ a bunch of times.

It ran flawlessly for me on performance mode; however chapter one is not really where the game usually suffers issues.

Nah. It’s not that serious, lol. But as someone that just can’t really enjoy TB combat it’s disappointing to hear. I’d love to see a Larian game with all the elements BG3 has but with real-time combat.

Well that TB won GOTY, so you better like it!

I’m kidding.
