The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Yeah I just started playing it last night and Lara's head got squished flat by a boulder like five times before I realized I was pushing the wrong button. It's a bit much.
there was some like, soldier of fortune game or something, was the grossest thing I ever played
just like, a selling point was how people had skeletons and you could blow off any part of the body and carve faces down to the bone! and blood would flow from it realistically
sick shit

oh I remember that game
you were a mustache guy and it had an eagle symbol
while I think showing realistic violence in media can be a valuable reminder of it's consequences seeing as the entertainment industry usually displays it as almost harmless and something to be shrugged off.
It has to be surrounded by some kind of criticism or else it's just realistic gore for it's own sake which is yeah kind of fetishistic and gross. I

Lara's enormous violence against other humans is (at least somewhat) criticized, or exists in a critical context
Most of her ultra violent deaths are environmental, though, like being impaled through the mouth by a steel pipe that juts out the back of her skull
There's no human element to her death except for her own
My wife watched me play Tomb Raider for a bit and said to me, "You know I heard this game had a lot of horrible death in it, but I guess it was overblown"
"I'm just good at avoiding it"
"Really?"
I purposely get impaled about four seconds after she says that, and look at her. My wife's a real thoughtful sorta gal, and she looks at it for a second before looking at me
"Somewhere on the design team someone was getting a boner every time one of these came up"
futore told me, in no uncertain terms, that if I showed my face in there again he'd take whatever little pretty it had left out of it with the business end of a shovel

my dog died recently and i suspect it's because i posted a pic of myself in the thread without his permission
I had to give up on Tomb Raider for a couple days because there was a QTE sequence I wasn't doing good at and I was getting really repulsed by the death scene.
The idolatry discussion reminds me of that Christian Broadcast couple who took people down to the bull statue on wall street during the financial crisis and prayed with their hands on it for the markets to change.
Anywho, I tried to post today's Strong Female Protagonist, but it just copy-pasted 300,000 random characters and 232 A's.

your fraud would be easily spotted by a true used condom connoisseur
I know quite a few ladies who see the treatment of death in Tomb Raider as almost fetishistic
try the fashion thread?

But no developer ever would say they dont care if girls play a game. Women are a huge untapped market in video games
what can mere peasants such as ourselves ever hope to do
Real talk I like the expressions in panel 2 and 3 here
Good progression of dumbstruck revulsion and horror
