@matrix >big property with a lot of buildings and such

Wtf does this even mean

Man I had a great corn dog but it gave me bad acid reflux for some reason. That ain't normal for me.

@The_Vile_Delinquent @ChristiJunior @matana @JungersGhost @RehnSturm256 i just included you in here because you didn't know if it was true or not and i was explaining the situation. i agree with you though.

@LukeAlmighty @Arty24 american krogan strikes again. i'm surprised that dude still uses twitter.

@JungersGhost @ChristiJunior @RehnSturm256 @matana @The_Vile_Delinquent

alright so first of all this tweet in the thumbnail doesn't exist, it's SUPER clickbaity. and this exact update that hero hei reads was seriously 2 years ago in a one-off joke. nobody was offended it by it back then because it is pretty funny but now some twatter user gets to it and includes game jewrnalist articles so now everyone is up in arms. nowhere in the update does it mention whiteness or even males. take a look for yourself if you don't believe me: store.steampowered.com/news/ap

since the game is in development, they are obviously getting analytics so they can figure out how people play the game in order to focus more on those features. in a perfect world, they'd see that most people are playing generic white guys and either give generic white male humans more customization options to make them look more unique or make some options for other playable races that seem more enticing to make playing those other races worth it.

it's kind of like if you have a game with a bunch of different characters and there is a character practically nobody plays, it's probably best to try and give that character some buffs or some unique aspects to make them more enticing to play. i don't know why anyone is surprised by this and they even say in the update to read the EULA to see what data they're collecting lol.

they're probably just making fun of people for straight up making themselves in a fantasy game where you can be a bunch of different shit and that sort of thing gets thrown around at the d&d table all the time when you've got the one guy who always just plays himself with a different coat of paint and the same exact class; in our case, a barbarian fighter who has played 2 humans and one tiefling with the same personality). he thinks it's pretty funny too but that's the character he likes to play.

on top of that, there are definitely areas where, as a game dev, you want players to explore things and try to break them so you can fix them and maybe address things you didn't even think about. how can a dev do that if not enough people are actually using the stuff they added to the game? it's not just about female characters or black characters, it's about different races entirely like tieflings/gnomes/halflings/elves/etc.

and btw "default vault dweller" isn't some generated gamer slur or whatever, it literally just means the default character when you play fallout. it's always a white dude with short brown hair which is exactly like the average created character in bg3.

literally a nothing burger that people are getting upset at because they have nothing better to do but be offended online. and this coming from people who make fun of SJWs for being sensitive lol.

@matana @berkberkman maybe it's because i have vitiligo and i see it on myself 24/7 but i look at this character and i just have absolutely zero care for it either way. i barely recognize it. if we weren't talking about vitiligo specifically i probably never would have noticed.

the new splatoon character designs kinda suck right, but this nigga is aight in my book. his name's "big man" how can you not like him?

@matana as someone with vitiligo i do not give a single shit if it's represented in a character creator or not. Partly because I rarely make myself in character creators. I still don't understand people who want to be just as disabled/disfigured in a game as they do in real life.... Especially something like D&D.

finished half life. it was better than i expected it to be considering how long it's been since its release. there were a couple things here and there that didn't age super well, especially the movement, and xen was a pain in the ass. other than that though, pretty solid game.
