I'm also not a big fan of this culture we live in where as long as you can find your "token offended person", said person can be weaponized into accusations that if you don't agree with them, you in some way abuse/mock/ridicule them. As I said in my post, I can understand WHY people may NEVER approve of something used within art/music/film/tv/etc, and I can respect their absolutist stance for whatever emotional/impactful reasoning they give. However, I am still capable of being honest about something and having no moral qualms about explaining the context/intent of something controversial/provocative and why it existing is not the moral panic it may be suggested it is/could be.

Yea who would just do that, find a “token offended person” and weaponize them??? ::cough cough:: y’all just did that with ms galaxy and people were quite literally quoting her outrage as a response.

Amazing how quickly the thread turned once those fucking Muppets actually watched the video. Even the OP changed their stance.

Amazing what a little context and reading past the headlines will do.

Also, outrage culture doesn't exist... /s

Quote from: Tigress, post: 19326646, member: 4237

Wow... I can't believe how many people are still bitter over a game. You guys act like he took all your money and ran. When he took 60 dollars (which if that is near all your money than you shouldn't have been buying a video game anyways as you probably had much more important things to spend it on) and then kept working on the game and improving it. Oh, and yeah, many people got refunds so they didn't even lose the 60 bux! Nevermind some of the bitter people who outright admit they didn't even buy the game so they lost nothing!

And a lot of the lies were small things that other game companies have done that people don't get near as upset about. Oh wait, it's because you wanted multiplayer and even though he kept saying it was a single player game there was a large group who kept insisting they'd play it MP over a feature that wasn't supposed to be the main part of the game. And yes, that feature wasn't in the game. What he's put in the game already is way more than he ever promised MP wise at launch (to the chagrin of those of us who wanted the SP game he originally promised). But then when people started pointing out that he had emphasized many times it was an SP game, it was time to find all the other nitpicks to prove that it was about his lies you were upset about and not that it wasn't an MP game.

Funny now even now the detractors still just focus on MP and most people have settled down once he introduced MP elements (hell, now the bitter people just hang on the well he lied and I refuse to endorse it even if he made it better later). And no one is nitpicking the nitpicks that still aren't in the game (cause that really wasn't what they cared about).

Well, at least now we mostly don't hear from you guys until the topic of the launch comes up (i.e. in threads talking about the game itself we can actually talk about the game and not about "his lies!").

Quote from: Tigress, post: 19328192, member: 4237

No, the level of spin people put on claiming that he said it was an MP game when he kept insisting it was an SP game with some online elements meant to enhance gameplay is amazing. And then they started finding other little nitpicks to try to rpove it wasn't cause it was MP they were upset. And yet funny how he hasn't fixed most those things and now most are happy with it or if they aren't they are saying too late (as in they admit it is fixed). Funny how it is him putting MP in the game which got a lot of the complaints to disappear. I mean I remember way before the game warning people it wasn't MP and not to expect to find other people.

And a lot of the stuff people yelled about they give EA and Ubisoft a lot less shit about (or at least don't keep harping on it for years).

Add in it's a fucking game! It amazes me it has taken this long for the bitter people to actually not pop in every NMS thread. It wasn't until the last update that you could actually talk about NMS without the people who still won't move on sidetracking the discussion to how it was all lies and they will never forgive Sean and how we all should totally be still pissed at him. It's ridiculous. Move the hell on already (ok, so most finally did but yeesh).

Oh, and the people who still feel Sean was trying to scam them. No, scammers don't come back and try to fix things. He had your money, if he was scamming he would have ran with it and you wouldn't have seen any more updates on it. I highly doubt he meant to scam anyone. From everything I gather and what makes the most sense they ran out of money and it was release it then and deal with the backlash and try to use the money gotten to continue working on it or release it never. Shit happens. Nobody who was purposely trying to scam you would have put this much effort back into the game when they already had your money. Hell, if he was just trying to run a business he wouldn't have put this much effort into something that was a high risk (by that point the damage could easily have well been done and nothing would bring people back). This obviouslly was a project HG personally cared for. So, yeah, sorry but not sorry that I'm willing to realize shit happens and at least he tried to make good and I'm not yelling that no one should ever give him money again.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/empathy-is-not-enough-part-1-how-empathy-became-a-buzzword-in-the-games-industry.108254/

I'm not reading that whole article, TBH, so this isn't actually a criticism of the article, because I don't know what it says. But I'm using it to springboard off of to talk about empathy.

One of my biggest gripes with RE is that they've twisted and mutated such a wonderful thing like empathy to mean something completely different: hating the right people. Real empathy is different. If someone hates their oppressors, real empathy doesn't require you hate them too. Real empathy doesn't require you agree with a person, or think what they're doing is right.

In fact, true empathy requires you try to understand the oppressor, too. Understand why they believe what they believe. Understand what makes them tick. Understand what parts of their beliefs and behavior are their fault, and which ones aren't.

Instead, RE's view of empathy is like a high school girl listening to her friend cry about how horrible her boyfriend is and just nodding and saying, "Yeah, he's the worst!" without looking further into it to see what is true and what's not. It's such an incredibly juvenile view of empathy, and then someone comes along that expresses true empathy for all parties, and they have the gall to shout, "HAVE SOME EMPATHY, YOU HUMAN GARBAGE!"

Jussie Smollett is nominated for an NAACP Image Award for his work on “Empire,” but it’s still unknown if he will attend the upcoming festivities on Saturday at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

Anthony Anderson, who returns as host for the sixth consecutive year, hopes the actor will make an appearance.

“I hope to see him here,” the “Black-ish” star told Variety during a preview of the Awards on Wednesday morning. “I hope he wins. I’m happy for him that the system worked for him in his favor because the system isn’t always fair, especially for people of color.”

“So I’m glad it worked out for him,” Anderson continued.

Quote

A lawyer for Jussie Smollett on Wednesday left open the possibility that the “Empire” star — who Chicago prosecutors acknowledged had lied about being a hate crime victim — may now sue over the alleged attack.

Tina Glandian appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to address prosecutors’ stunning decision the day before to drop all 16 felony counts against the actor.

“We’re weighing our options now,” Glandian said in response to co-host George Stephanopoulos’ question, “Are you going to sue?”

“For Jussie, what’s really important is he really just wants his career and his life back,” the lawyer continued. “Again, he did not ask for any of this, he was a victim of a crime.”

Polygon posted this minutes after the reveal:
Polygon: Borderlands 3’s trailer is a disappointment
Quote
“More” isn’t a good excuse for a sequel; the best sequels are defined by a more complex word: “better.”
Quote
Fans have been sold or at least offered an extensive amount of content that isn’t a numbered sequel, and that trend will continue: Gearbox also announced during Thursday’s panel at PAX East a remaster of the original Borderlands, as well as free 4K texture packs for Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

That level of support for older games isn’t a bad thing, but it’s been going on for six years.
Quote
If you had told me that this trailer was a fan edit that used scenes from existing games, I likely would have believed you.
Quote
It doesn’t look like a retro game, which might have been charming; it just looks like an outdated game
Quote
But after this lackluster trailer, I’d welcome news about a battle royale mode, because what else is there?
