  • It’s honestly insane that (even as rarely as it’s relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of “latine”. All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I’m being told that there’s been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I’m trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I’m in. I can just say latine.




  • Maybe because it’s an unreleased game, so regardless of dislike for previous iterations you can’t really judge it.

    Also there’s a difference between “I wish these games were good” and “I wish I liked these games”. Like no shit you’re going into a thread only interesting to people that like a series and say “the series sucks” completely unprompted, adding nothing of value. Of course you’ll get booed out of the room.

    That’s not what fascism is either lol

    I wouldn’t call china fascist, though doubtlessly authoritarian. But I don’t have nearly as much info on china, it seems to me the persecution of minorities is less of a central political scapegoat and more some weird side thing. But without speaking chinese, I might be wrong. The US had plenty of fascist characteristics at this point and is rather open about the persecution.


  • It’s just p2w with extra steps. Pay to get stronger, or pay someone to play for you to get stronger. When games are designed to either make you play a lot or pay to get stuff to make you stronger, some people will gladly pay to either feel powerful, or just skip enough of the grind that they can focus on what’s fun.

    I kind of get it, but at the point where I’d be spending hundreds or make someone play for me, I’d just look for a different game.
