Re: On the "wokeness" of recent Gundam

Holy media illiteracy... I'll give you this. You're not wrong starting out. Gundam is very interpersonal. It's dramatic. Char and Amuro and everyone they're close to, their lovers, enemies, friends, there's a lot going on. And Amuro isn't super enthusiastic about finding himself shanghaid into his ...

Re: On the "wokeness" of recent Gundam

What you just described is the opposite of Gundam. The first two Gundam anime were all about drama and character interpersonal fighting. The conflict between Char and Amuro. Char's betrayal of Garma. The love triangle between Lala Sune, Char and Amuro. Giren's ambition. The original Gundam was abou...

Re: MADDEN 24 as an Prime Example of Today's Society

Sportsball video games getting worse strikes me as a just and natural thing. This is like complaining that slot machines used to be prettier. The veneer is failing. These games are American Genshin Impact but devoted to something disgustingly mundane, as opposed to Genshin's superficial fantastical ...

Re: Bad Reputation, Gud Gaem

Many of my favourite games, many that I've greatly enjoyed. Most recently FarCry1. https://i.ibb.co/vzrT44X/Far-Cry0001.jpg I was just discussing a moronic video essay on this game with Rake. https://youtu.be/xKmo-gMyFZo Nobody has any idea how to talk about a game in which you have a gun and the pe...

Re: Castlevania season 3 coming out on March the 3rd

I watched all of this show and didn't really enjoy any of it for what it was. It's a very good case-study of the bad media of our time though. Worth seeing just to appreciate how you can screw something like this up. Animation is serious work, a lot of man-hours would have gone into creating four se...

Video Game Streisand Effects

Shamelessly stealing this thread's OP from a /v/ post because the thought is wasted on that place. DEFINITION OF STREISAND EFFECT: >"A phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often ...

Re: Your All-Time Favorite Games?

For me the #1 goes to the original UFO: Enemy Unknown. https://i.ibb.co/4fjGYSf/screen025.png I think it's a perfect game. I can't imagine another game trying to do what it does surpassing it. It's a practically perfect realisation of its premise. There's a setting, a premise, goals, tools, options,...
