EMMYCH'S PROFILE

I'm pretty happy with how this thread has been going for the most part (i.e. staff not putting up with total bullshit) and was content to just leave it alone, but can we not now do the thing where we strawman marginalized groups for the sake of a joke? Like the "assist" comment and the comment about asexual folks.

If you really want to make fun of people, maybe don't punch down. Make fun of people who are trying to debate the legitimacy of using actual hate speech under the grounds that it is their GOD GIVEN RIGHT~~~ as CITIZENS~~~ or whatever the heck they're going off about these days.

Like idk as a person who has several intersecting identities that are often berated and assigned slurs, I don't find that kind of joking around particularly funny.

@SylphNatural: I'm sure you'll be able to find some if you look around~
Hit the search bar, comrade!

Emmych I think you're just a bad player. If something is good then it's worth the effort.

look, there's the other part there: i'd rather CREATE stuff than consume it. As a kid, I was certainly creative, but nothing really came of my attempts to create, and I was largely satisfied with consuming media since I was able to find stuff that covered the stuff I was interested in. Now I am older and my tastes are different, aka when it comes to games, there aren't enough cool ladies, there aren't enough queer folks, games focus too much on punching and not enough on conflict resolution, there's too many oscar bait games, too many games that have lazy plotlines I don't give a fuck about, etc. etc. etc.

Games are also demanding as fuck! Sometimes they want you to sink 60+ hours in, and MAAAAN. Maaaaan I don't have time for that, especially when I'd rather be doing something else. And the fact games are expensive? Ha ha ha I gotta save up for tuition and rent and other stuff, man. I don't have the cash to be dropping $50-70 on every cool game that comes out, so of course I'll play it safe and only buy games that I know I'll like, such as the Pokemon Sapphire and Majora's Mask re-makes.

If I even hit the point where I'm going to be spending an hour or two on a game, I've already bought it and it's already passed my "sure I'll try this" tests. Like the only reason I got DA:I is because I knew I could play as a cool lady in a party of cool ladies and be BFFs with some queer peeps. Like, I am a simple person with simple tastes: I promise you, if I'm into what you're offering, I'll know pretty quickly. I can't think of many games that I've slogged through for a few hours and ended up loving, if any.

tl;dr i'd rather spend my time writing about lesbian vampires than risk dropping a bunch of dollars and time on a boring game

OH NO THAT IS CUTE

Nah, I don't think so. I dig it the way it is~
It still FEELS retro, which is the important thing, imo.
