The obvious reality is that the only compelling business reason to launch day-and-date across multiple platforms is to maximize marketing spend.

Nearly all the marketing for Nier: Automata has been aimed specifically at the Japanese market, where obviously PS4 is the primary platform, as Sony's ecosystem is where Yoko's previous works have been targeted and where its proven fanbase is centered.

The plain fact is the best way for SE to sell the game on PC is off the back of an enthusiastic reception on PS4 - because they surely aren't going to spend a fortune on marketing a sequel to a game that sold modestly at best outside of Japan.

If the game gets great reviews and/or word of mouth from fans, its going to help sales on PC a few months down the line.

It's a corny ad for a loan company disguised as an infographic.  As useful as the DeBeers "guide" that tells you to spend x months' salary on an engagement ring. 

The outraged replies and immediate modbot lock were fucking hilarious, though.

49.9% APR.  A real upstanding outfit.

Representative 49.9% APR (variable)
Representative Example: Borrowing £4000 over 36 months, repaying £195.16 per month, total repayable £7025.76. Interest rate 49.9% (variable).

Wow this was really perfectly designed to trigger GAF.

"Hey do you feel insecure about falling behind in life? Look at this handy graphic!"

I am ahead on some accounts I see. Leave home at age 22? In Scandinavia it is more like 18.

And making 40k at age 37 threw me for a loop (appears to be British pounds). I was already making that when still in graduate school.

But I am still behind on that whole having a couple of kids thing.

[nudemacusers]

somewhere in that list should be 'stop growing shitty facial hair you fucking nerd' from goatee to full beard

[WanderingWind]

That is an amazingly shitty graphic. It's not too bad until it's saying buy a flat at 27 and then a house two years later is a thing people do. That's some new money rich person stupid shit right there.

[WanderingWind]

Also, I mean, look capitalism hurrah! and all, but goddamn, BUY CONSUME DIE isn't a cheery, pastel lifestyle. It's at best, a necessity in a world with few other viable options. Shit might as well be a lighthearted attempt at mapping out your end-of-life planning.

Age 60 (cheery graphic of grandma baking cookies): Begin pondering the inevitability that you're living on borrowed time.
Age 63 (graphic of kid sitting, talking with grandpa): Wonder constantly if family is visiting simply to remind you to put them in your will
Age 65 (happy poop emoji): Have a bowel movement without thinking "what if I die here, god please let me at least have enough time to pull up my pants"
Age 68 (couple in bed): Wake up without the fading dreams of death chasing you down a shrinking corridor lingering in your morning memory

[Joe Molotov]

Aged 22: First GAF post about killing yourself
Aged 34: Sort your videogame collection alphabetically by title and by system
Aged 60: Move out
Aged 61: Stop posting dank memes
Aged 62: Start posting dank memes agian

40K (Pounds or Dollars) at 37 as a milestone you should be proud of is hilarious.

Man this post. But specifically this part:

All the -isms. All of them.

Game of Thrones is sexist. And racist. And homophobic. And ableist. Rape is used for shock value, and the patriarchy exists except when it doesn't (that fucking dinner scene at Horn Hill, urghghghghgh). No, Dany, Arya, Sansa, Brienne and Ellaria brutally and remorselessly murdering people is not "empowering". Violence isn't empowering. Violence is just violent.

Then there's the Dothraki, who are admittedly problematic in the book as well, but this is taken up to eleven in the show. Dany burns down their most sacred temple with all their khals inside and instead of killing her they bow to her, because those savage brown people know their place. And Tyrion whitesplaining to Missandei and Grey Worm in Meereen, fucking kill me. When Missandei told Tyrion he didn't understand what it was to be a slave I fucking cheered. You go girl. Tell that condescending asshole.

Homophobic. Loras. Oh my god, Loras. What the fuck did they do to you?! Book Loras joins the kingsguard, because in his words, "when the sun has set, no candle can replace it" ;A;. He is a renowned knight, a supreme badass - a little hot headed and reckless, but hey, he's young - and extremely protective of his beloved sister Margaery. In the show, he is GAY! Did you know that Loras is GAY? He likes MEN! He likes FASHION because he is GAY! He sleeps with prostitutes because he's just so GAY! And then in season 6, the gay man gets tortured and scarified with religious iconography before getting blown up. Oberyn and Ellaria, both bisexual, live in a fucking brothel. In the book, Oberyn makes an offhand comment about them "sharing a beautiful blonde", but they also have four young children together and are doting parents. But no, those crazy brown bisexuals amirite.

Ableism. Jaime, Jaime, Jaime. He stops a sword with his golden hand! How wacky. And Hodor, because disability can't just be, it has to have a reason behind it. I know this is taken from the books, and if it's in the same context as in the show I will be upset. The beetles monologue, ugh.

Conclusion

Game of Thrones is a poorly-written problematic piece of shit. Discuss!

FICTION IS PROBLEMATIC!!! 

My kids learned the difference between fantasy and reality when they were 6. Rape and murder in fiction isn't rape and murder in real life you weirdos.

That post isn't wrong. GoT is a poorly written and acted show that uses all of those problematic isms, nudity, and violence to cover for the story being dogshit nonsense.

True, but the problem with that post is that it's not talking about those things being a substitute for weak writing, it's the moralizing about the content as if the characters are *real people* that are in need of saving and attributing some nefarious reasoning for it by the show writers (hating women, brown people).

Another problem is that is difficult to tell what GAF considers good writting, as there is posters decrying the term Mary Sue.

For real. One of the main characters being a white lady who's the savior of every group of brown people she stumbles over in middle earth is less offensive than five seasons of that which end up fuckin' nowhere

What's with this economic anxiety thing?
People claimed "economic anxiety" was the main reason people were voting for trump when his base was primarily older relatively-well-off middle/upper-middle-class whites, so whenever trump or one of his supporters did something transparently racist during the campaign, people would wryly say something about "economic anxiety," when the real issue driving votes was racism.

"Because as you know,  old white people are racist scum."

Never thought I'd want this feature, but I wish Humble Bundle gave the option to exclude games from the pack that you purchase.

After Blow's comments criticizing protesters regarding giving trolls like Milo an academic platform, I cannot bring myself to support him or his projects anymore. Guess I'll pass on this :/

So this has been a thought that has stuck with me for some time, like, I get hate speech laws and am not inherently against having well considered ones, but in the case of someone like Milo or other "deplorable" speakers. Like what is the point of trying to shut him down completely? I get protesting and all that, but actually shutting it down is where it loses me.

So Milo comes and speaks to the already converted, ok? He doesnt come and the same people just circle jerk over on TheDonald and there you go. You shut him down and what was actually achieved constructively on your end?

Like who are you protecting? What are you defending? What does shutting it down actually achieve? I just struggle with the A to Z logic of what is trying to be achieved by the act of shutting it down.
