If i'm to assume this is genuine and not some kind of israeli PR stunt (which would of course be the intent of the stunt), then a discerning person such as me, dick flattening ethusiast, would see this as a reasonable response to an ally's consistent pattern of shitty behaviour.

In the framing of this story, Trump is getting really frustrated with this exceedingly jewish behaviour of being antagonistic at the expense of someone else's standing and reputation. Trump keeps saying israel is a swell guy, and Israel keeps bombing civilians. Again. And again. And again. And now Trump has to acknowledge the situation, which makes him look very bad.

The story is even trying to salvage the public perception of israel as a whole by shifting blame to Bibi himself, saying "you're the reason everyone hates beautiful, gorgeous israel".

So if this is completely genuine, which i doubt, it would seem the walls are closing in a little bit tighter around the paradigm of infinite special treatment for israel. But if it's some PR stunt to save face for the US, then the walls really must be closing in fast because this is what it looks like when a propaganda machine is running out of runway and has to publish things that look awful because the alternative is even worse.

Yeah in any case these games are always failures artistically if not financially.

@Jens_Rasmussen @LittleTom Yeah, I believe so.

Here's what I'm thinking:
This kind of light purple/magenta colors, also known as "bisexual lighting", is a choice that's common to designers of a certain culture (or mindset / orientation / demographic, whatever).
The title image is decided on by the lead designer, and this indicates to an extent the culture of the rest of the development team.

It's not a 100% guaranteed, but it's a good indicator:

Bisexual lighting ↓
probably progressive lead designer ↓
likely progressive team ↓
progressive values, writing, and talent hiring policy ↓
failed project.

This chain can be broken at any point, where you can have competent developers and gay designers, but it's usually not the case.

@Jens_Rasmussen @LittleTom WotR wasn't too bad, but it was very gay.
I think purple games tend to be gay, and gay games tend to be failures.

So it's a case of looking at A→C and missing the A→B→C.
Still, it's a fairly good model, decent predictive capability.

oh yeah, it looks like falcom is bringing the dragon slayer franchise back. i hope we get some lore that's sorely lacking.
