the thing about KC1 being very white, was that it was actually historically accurate
there weren't really dark-skinned people in bohemia at that point in history except the invading turkic peoples
but the game also had health potions, and lockpicking, and nobles that actually talk to commoners, and plate mail that you can just kinda put on, etc...
The worst of KC1's social media/ outward facing people insisted the typical "black people literally didn't EXIST in this area" bull crap instead of the much more reasonable "they were rare in this area at this time and as such, don't factor into the main storyline." They were trying to score points off of NOT having them in the game, instead of just happening to not include any out of an organic development process.
I actually find a lot of the Steam forums are fine for smaller games. I think the fact that they tend to have nothing on the wider internet helps people be a little less shitty to each other because it's the one place to ask questions about bugs and stuff.
Like, for whatever its worth, I am living in Eastern Europe since birth.
I needed to move to the capital city of my country, start working there, and still I was only able to talk to someone with different skin colour than mine when I was something like 27 years old.
We really are not as culturally and racially diverse as USA and western Europe.
Asmongold can't clean up his room, somebody thought he could edit his own videos?
So, the real stupid thing about this is, Elon Musk doesn't seem to realize that "editors" means video editors. Rather, he's insinuating that Asmongold's opinions are inauthentic because they're being bestowed on him by editors, as in newspaper editors. That's why he thinks this is a viable avenue of attack.
Yeah it took me a second to parse what was going on cause at first I thought it was Asmongold leaked their DM's showing how dumb Musk is, only to then realize it was Musk leaking them to show how dumb he is.
Wasn't there an article from an actual historian that called bullshit on the whole "only white people existed in this period here" when KCD first released and that noxious interview answer was heard?
For a second I went "wait, shit, did I buy Kingdom Come Deliverance on a Steam sale and give those fuckers money?" but I checked and it was Kingdoms of Amalur that is sitting in my backlog.

Opposite. They consulted Czech historians. Bohemia in the later half of the Middle Ages is hella white. 200 years later itād be different, but that game takes place in the backwoods to boot

Lots of folks have it from a Humble Bundle/Choice.
One day, gamers will live in a dystopian society and their games will be in VR and have settings to only see what you want.
What's that? You hate seeing a bunch of DEI stuff? No problem! The lead character is male and any females are only in support roles and love the main character. Love Nintendo? Great! It's all colorful Nintendo IPs!
I hated just typing that out.

Now that's a fun game. And honestly I really like how it chose to portray the elves/fey. The big names are basically roles that other people can inherit, and their stories can be recreated to achieve various effects, like a story about a knight retrieving a treasure from a troll can be reenacted to get the same treasure.
Also it's very fun to have a game where the entire world is based on Fate being this big unchangeable tapestry that can be known, but never defied, and what happens to that world when you show up with thread rippers.

Wait did it go to RI or did RI money go to the company?
Wait the company shut down, who gets the money from sales now?
I managed to turn into Godzilla on my first match on this new fortnite thing, very fun to turn into a kaiju in the middle of a battle royale match and murder a bunch of people.
Rest of my night shows it was not very indicative of how easy it is to get.
I honestly think that while there is probably choices theyāve made that could be better with the animations, a lot of it comes down to having the same animation contrivances as every other fighting game except with a realistic look to the character models and very little effects and flourishes to cover it up. As their games have gotten more and more realistic models, theyāve looked worse and worse animation wise
most fighting games, even ones like tekken, are highly stylised or cartoony and so it covers up how awkward animation overall actually looks in fighting games generally, because thereās frame time considerations and such which constrain things and force the animators hands. Itās not really an excuse, I just think it makes odd things look more noticeable compared to games that are more stylised like street fighter
New Frame Plus, a game animation youtube channel, also made the pretty good argument that part of what they're doing is deliberately paying homage to the stilted, awkward rotoscoped animations of the original games
it doesn't work for me at all, i hate to look at mortal kombat with my eyes, but i can at least appreciate that side of it
If you want to pay homage to the older gameās art and animation styles, you do so with a singular character or two. Just like in Smash Bros with Mr. Game and Watch.
Donāt subject your entire roster to that dusty mindset.

nrs makes very little use of squash/stretch/deform for its normal animations, nor do models hold poses for anticipation or impact to further "sell" a big hit or attack
some of this is due to how they setup their animation system and character meshes, and some is due to their house style and gameplay, where you can "dial a combo" and not need to have animation cues that a player will have to look out for in order to time their next input, so there's far fewer hitstop frames
this system does tend to speed up animations a lot, which creates its own problem since a lot of nrs animations are awkwardly timed when compared to each other, where in some combos leaping up into the air to hit someone in the face and then dropping back down takes fewer frames than throwing a quick punch, but is slower than a big wind-up swing that launches someone into the air for a juggle
You might look at this exhibit and not notice anything special about it if you don't play the game. But this is the first exhibit I made using null barricades which means I built the wall out of building pieces instead of the barriers the game provides since all the youtube creators I watch play the game do that too. It lets you lower the barricade more than the provided ones and look more like barricades you'll see in real life, especially for the tortoises as I did here. Now the mistake is that this is African Spurred Tortoise who is technically in the Asian part of the zoo, but there are no Asian exhibit tortoises or turtles available in the game and it is still next to the Africa section of the zoo as well so I don't think it's too big of an issue.
Behind that habitat I built a dining section. Lots of seating, bathrooms, and a bunch of shops and restaurants including an atm and a few vending machines. Used predesigned shells for the shops, but they look good so I didn't feel like spending a bunch of time customizing one. Especially as the zoo is starting to get too big for my computer to handle as things are running slowly when trying to move large distances in the zoo.
I think we're going to have to go with a primate section in the zoo as I haven't really put many of them into any of my zoos and they're a staple, plus there are a lot of primates to choose from in the Asian area.
I'm 90 minutes in, 9 people locked-in, into The Roottrees are Dead and it's just great. Lots of tiny clues interspersed that I know are only relevant once I know another piece of information. Really, really fun.

Diablo is also incredibly build based, like yeah thereās tonnes of skill involved at the high end, but a tonne of it is the right build and the right equipment, which thereās no way he had time for. He might have been #1 but Iām sorry thereās just no way he played that account all the time, he had help, which is fine, who cares, do you. But also, donāt do whatever this is that heās currently doing
On another not playing forgive me father 1, on console, and while the art style is neat, why does it blur the character models constantly? Is it a glitch or a console error, or is it just something about the games engine
"The richest man in the world feels the need to lie about videogames through his estranged wife" is some shit I'd whisper to my estranged dad on his deathbed to get that last heart attack going
there was this quote that went around shortly after elon musk bought twitter. he was talkin about all the code and shit, and a guy who's a programmer said on twitter something to the effect of. "now i don't know much about space travel. so when elon talks about spacex, i go sure, sound smart. and i don't know much about tesla, so when elon talks about electric cars, i say sounds good. but i DO know a lot about programming, and i'm suddenly learning a lot about what he said about spacex and tesla"
Speaking of games Iāve been playing Nex Machina a bit and itās a really spectacular score-attack arcade game. Intimidating to think of actually getting through all six levels but itās got a lot of fun ideas and it is pretty generous with lower difficulties allowing you to plow through and at least see the later stages with a ton of continues.
Also I finally fully dug into Cyberpunk and itās very cool. Although Iām getting weird super-low framerate during bits of scripted interactions? Not everything but some like custom animation close-ups just slow to a crawl.
Still Iām surprised by how quickly Iāve been charmed by this big dumb city full of assholes wearing ridiculous clothes.
We're all in this together

I recall hearing about Musk doing some live stream in PoE2 because he had a level 97 hardcore character that nobody believes he actually played, and he could barely even play the game and seemed to know basically morning about it.
Very funny that he craves this nerd cred so badly and he cannot successfully buy it.

No point in looking for additional reasons to feel enraged, our world is enraging enough without it.

but the game also had health potions, and lockpicking, and nobles that actually talk to commoners, and plate mail that you can just kinda put on, etc...
also one of the directors had a nazi background
And this is why Penny Arcade, and the soon to be amazing Coin Return, are extremely important to me.
