& I'll say it again:
Oh no! Not pronouns!
It makes me so so sad to see that Alex effing Jones has a net positive rating on Steam. That POS really needs to fall off the planet.
“Someone, someone… a sodomite… sent me a bucket of poop.”
“It’s time to pray.”
The people who download something like this are well and truly lost to start with.
I love you.
First time caller? 🤣
And yet, they consider the woke to be the snowflake bitches.
Projection is the only thing they do correctly and consistently
aka projection
80% of it is just about them whining gaming lost its "niche"...
I bought a friend Cassette Beasts and they stopped playing the minute it showed him pronouns. I called him a fucken bigot, convinced him to buy me the Elden Ring DLC, and I haven't touched it.
The only games I've ever played with no pronouns were games that didn't have any written story. Like Tetris. Super Mario has pronouns
You can't expect these people to understand what pronouns are
My friend group did a video game Secret Santa back in January. Incidentally, I think 6 out of the 7 games had some form of pronoun choice, with like 4/7 directly letting you choose and the other two being a character selector with fixed pronouns for the characters. Cassette Beasts was the first game opened, and there were quite a few references to that one streamer yelling about pronouns.
I didn't even know you could romance any partner you wanted or what that would even be like. The only experience I had with pronouns were the character select and it was just an option for they/them. Then Frankie, but you had to practically beat most of the game to see her and it doesn't outright say she is trans she just has a little trans pin on her bag. Totally avoidable I guess if you're a bigot. I gotta say I got down with my boy Barkley and never looked back. Dog over people any day.
To be fair cassette beasts is SUPER woke, and I love it. Very diverse cast, you can romance anyone (I think, I never selected those options), and one of your party members is literally a communist and his whole side quest is kicking landlords off the island (Eugene my beloved).
That game deserves some kind of award it was so damn good. I loved every character, place, sound. It was by all meanings of the word dope. It felt so human and that it was just made to be art.
Cassette beasts is amazing
the cherry on top – you can’t leave reviews if you haven’t bought the game or played it through Steam (free to play, family share)
Not necessary for curators, I believe. Those are not reviews in a normal sense, but are just lists with notes.
Here's the problem, modern review systems have become some kind of stupid cultural football so I don't know if something is genuinely good or not though the review system.
I was looking at Homeworld 3 but the reviews are overwhelmingly negative, and they all read so wishy washy about it.
generally, on either Steam or Amazon, I find the negative reviews more useful – not for the actual reviews themselves, but the overall tone – if all the negatives are just whiny conservative pearl-clutchers then the game is going to be just fine – if all the negatives are talking about bugs, broken gameplay, unfinished storylines, predatory microtransactions then it’s more EA shovelware
You avoid Sweet Baby because they are "woke".
I avoid Sweet Baby because every time they get involved the story becomes flatter than an open soda container forgotten in the fridge for a week.
We are not the same.
Mister BoneSaw buying his way into the games industry is not a good thing. No matter what side of the aisle you are on.
Talk shit about Dad of War one more time
