I also love that these people think translators and localized just send games with translations out into the world and the poor renowned creators and multimillion dollar organizations just cant do anything about it. Meanwhile it probably went through 5 hands in Japan to verify brand integrity.

Are the weak little easily influenced babies who cant be held accountable for their actions or are they all based chads who shouldnt be held accountable for their actions? Id argue a secret third thing where theyre sentient human beings like the rest of us who should be criticized like any artist is

Its the typical fascist paradox where if the creator intentionally makes fun of gay people they're based and you cant censor them because its their culture, if a nuanced queer character is presented its wokery and western influence and not natural to Japanese culture.

My favorite part of this is people pretending gay and trans people just don't exist in Japan and any gay people in Japanese media that arent a joke are the result of western influence.

Its nothing if not incredibly sincere, earnest and uncynical and I love that about it

That said we are going on our first disney cruise with our one year old nephew and this made me look forward to it.

Workers on these ships and the locals at the destination deserve so much more. They are always the best part of our experiences and they are brutally unrecognized or treated cruelly by people who take them for granted.

Even as someone who enjoys cruises (I even got married on one) I thank you for making me stop and think about the costs of it all and being willing to try to see what we enjoy about them even if sometimes they are a mess.

Also when asked if its ethical for him to be a therapist when he has such hatred towards pretty much every minority group, queer people and women who arent his equally shitty wife, he said it doesn't impact his judgements in therapeutic situations

To be clear, I usually like Polygon, but it feels like they hired a random Scott Jennings gamer for balance or something

He also puts some of them in completely empty solitary confinement cells without so much as toy to occupy them lol If were looking for bare minimum evil threshold, hes hit it

This is coming from someone playing these games for the first time who is only up to MG2 Solid Snake in terms of playing the full series and played Metal gear solid once forever ago

At the very least he lets a bunch of war orphans wander around in a dangerous quicksand filled swamp, sewers and a dangerous military base where live fire is happening all the time in Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. Claiming the child endangerer is good actually is wild

She's just kinda boring and not who we signed up to see in a 13 sequel

AJ Stromberg @ajs8812.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Also sorry to all the Serah fans out there but elevating her from elevated McGuffin, motivation for Snow in the OG to main character in the sequels is...baffling. Its like making a side game about Rachel, Locke's dead lover from FF6

AJ Stromberg @ajs8812.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I feel like they abandon the themes of 13 to just be like lol random in the sequels and again to push lightning when a lot of her appeal is how she fits into the group dynamic eventually

AJ Stromberg @ajs8812.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I kind of have the opposite opinion about this. I really love the OG but fell of the sequel hard. All the things that do click once you get into 13, some of the set pieces, Vanille and Fang's relationship, the culmination of the Hope/Snow plot line even though it starts really annoyingly

Its the relationships between you and even amongst characters that really make this game for me. They're so well written ane earnest

Whats really funny about this is that he is probably of the gamergaters the only one Id believe is a true believer and his loyalty to the cause resulted in him being turned into a lolcow by his own community and largely ignored. He put a rake on the floor and kept stepping on it and blaming women.

I love how every "Society is failing/ rejecting cis straight men" article could also be rephrase to be "Straight Cis Men have erected a mental/emotional rake maze to prevent them from ever doing anything fun or good for them. More on how this is someone elses problem at 11"

Its like they cant even picture the idea of having kids and wanting to play something they can watch or play with you or even just sharing the couch with your partner and playing/watching something that doesnt potentially make your other half uncomfortable. Domesticity is a foreign land to them

Everytime I hear these complaints brought up I now think of November Kelly on Trashfuture ranting about a guy who was dismissive of capped bus fares because he doesn't ride the bus. Same issue. These weirdos dont understand that they live in a society and that the world doesn't end with them.

Its absence in Pocahontas is extremely noticeable when you know where to look because its used a leitmotif in most of the scoring not saying it would've fixed a mixed and problematic movie but it makes the musical theater nerd in me cringe and feel sad nonetheless

I want to like the trailers for their new game Ill especially as a horror fan there are some unique and gruesome designs but the premise just seems like oops all body horror so its gonna be one Im gonna wait for reviews on

Currently two of the highest grossing longest running shows on Broadway have people from various cultures, races, sexualities and gender identity playing English Queens and founding fathers. Stanley Tucci aka Mister Italy is playing a Greek man in Oedipus. Where is your rage Zack?

I think whats so irritating to me about this and something that gives away the grift is that theater does this all the time and none of these clowns say boo because they know their audience doesn't care about theater. Beside the obvious bigotry, the pandering is just so lazy

Its apparently completely incoherent too. Armie Hammers character is an undocumented immigrant hunting undocumented immigrants. Also hes a landlord who gets distracted during sex with a prostitute by mold on the wall.

Sigh...who are they mad at this time? A trans person, a POC or a woman? And are they real or in a video game. Bonus points if they accurately called this crowd pedos. Theyre so predictable.

This the former crypto grifter who says she wants to repeal the 19th and says fat people are amoral? Because if so, yes, she is beyond desperate for attention and showing only red flags to the point that she shares texts from her own family pointing this out. Don't be like this. Ever.

While youre looking at indies you should look at witchfire which is an early access single player extraction shooter. Think Dark Souls Mixed with marathon and set during the witch trials

Probably because he claims to hate certain games but then will pay for early access 100% them, grift for about a month or so more and then pretend like he always thought it was good if public opinion says it was good
