Sheesh, some of you are being overly petty...

Strange, I never noticed that they were pushing Miranda's ass on the player more than other characters. I'm pretty sure they had strategic camera shots of all the characters. I didn't notice the ones where they focus on the male characters, bending over working on things or camera shots that accentuate their upper body strength. I found that it was all subtle enough to flow into the normal gameplay. Men and women like different things, having some visual stimulation in the game for the men helps the game, and having some emotional stimulation and conversations for women helps the game too, you don't need to take one or the other out of the game. I'm not upset when characters have too much conversation between them or have moments where they talk about their feelings. All the characters in the game are super idealized because it's fantasy, that includes physical perfection.

The irony is Miranda is a fairly strong female character, and a very attractive one too. I don't see how that can be annoying to women. You can't really win though, can you? If you make a strong, attractive female character it's sexist because it hurts women's self esteem, they compare themselves with that character; but if you make a weak, unattractive female character it's sexist because it portrays women in a bad light. There's no winning that no matter what stance you take, they are overall irrational arguments, the only winning move is not to play.

I'm all for MORE games that she can relate to, but I strongly object to the need to change CURRENT games. If there's actually a market for a type of game that nobody is satisfying, it would be a gold mine. I don't want someone to take away my ability to enjoy the Miranda's in gaming(though as a character she was far from my favorite), if they don't like it they don't have to buy that particular type of game. If a game's market is primarily male, it makes no financial sense to change the game so it doesn't market to men.

I think you look too much into it, sjw is just definition of type of person. most people use it out of habit to describe certain mentality. As for it being used as insult, those people take anything as insult, hell snowflake became an insult cause it was used as means to describe them to avoid ban.

If you actually think it was used as an insult not definition then you're prolly the very edgelord you describe yourself.


edit: oh sorry, didn't notice you use word bigot, I apologize, I assumed you're on the other side. Guess you never were edgelord after all.

Hmm I don't find things as dire as you, not yet. But I will say there are a lot of new landmines out there, I was burned by the ethically dubious pronoun nonsense in battletech. I'm having to be more careful, for the first time in my life, about who is making a game and whether they're pushing an agenda through that game. I hope Cyberpunk is unaffected by these sorts of problems, I have faith that it will be, but I will need to proceed carefully with it.

Miranda was oversexualized and at the same time too much of a feminist wet dream... strange mix. I'm straigh male and I found her a bit annoying, and her character bland. Like a blown up doll that got added feminist traits to avoid triggering people.

I can only empathize with the woman, especially after recent newsletter about books from humble.

You think we haven't seen a raid before? Go back to your chanboard or whatever.

Because I have no life, I've been keeping track of the people who have vowed never to shop here again who have open profiles, and a few of them have bought games since then.

I guess your principles were no match for the weekend sale. :P

1. "Gimme $35000 or I kill myself" is not lifesaving, it's extortion.

2. On the contrary, the scam, and later attempts to "honestly" beg for cash to waste on frivolous nonsense, is what killed him whe he actually was broke and homeless, asked for $675 and got nothing.

PS. If there's a moral to this story, it's "don't invent justifications for mental illness".

Looks like we've moved onto pissing on the graves of real people.

In defense of gog in a general sense, when I was banned from having a reasonable discussion about the battletech pronoun nonsense in many other places, we were permitted to have a long conversation about it in the forums here. That prompted me to start buying things from here again, and they still have some goodwill from me for allowing that. I'm not so sure they've gone full crazy sjw. The fact that this thread has been allowed to continue unhampered speaks well for them, a lot of places would have locked it down immediately.

with both barrels? :p

A raid primarily consisting of people who have mostly free games and the occasional purchase. I don't care if it's reddit, 4chan, 8chan, or whatever hive of scum and villainy it is, but the MO is obvious. Very few of the people who have turned up have any legitimacy in calling themselves longterm or loyal customers, so if you're going to threaten boycotts you should just be shown the door. You were good for a laugh, but now it's getting tedious.

Weak cowtowing wimps.

I wonder if Cyberpunk 2077 will have same lack of value & common sense.

OH WELL. Great news however, cheap keyshops always exist
