Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@nessisonett let me guess,hyper light never got the negativity of those people that TLOU gets despite anita being involved?

sure it's a smaller game but still,would again show the hypocrisy those people have. i guess TLOU is just an easy target because it's an exclusive and high profile.

they so want to push their own biggot agenda (see the irony?) but only do so by picking and choosing. i guess hating on a smaller game does not get them the views. (which it is all about in the end)

@jdv95 A quick Google of ‘Hyper Light Drifter Anita Sarkeesian’ reveals some... interesting viewpoints. Zoe Quinn’s also credited in the Special Thanks, same as Kanye West. It’s kinda hilarious how these ones go on and on and on about leftie SJW snowflakes being offended over nothing... while boycotting a game because someone’s credited in the special thanks section. There was a big stink about Celeste/Towerfall as well because surprise surprise, indie devs are far more likely to be young and accepting and less likely to care about sacrificing their vision for the sake of an extra few bucks from w*nkers. And then there’s the Ion Fury review on NLife with 100+ comments, mostly attacking the literal editor in chief of NLife, that proves that humanity isn’t ready for the Internet (for once I stayed away, pretty proud of myself ngl).

@nessisonett nevermind the removed post,i had my facts wrong.

Anyway you did good of staying away. It's a shame that everything has to be ruined by a select group of people regardless their stance. But it is so scary to see the comunity always be wary of any game that has a female protagonist even if she is white and hetrosexual. Where does this hatred of representing women come from? I can't believe those people act like this around women in real life. I mean surely some of them are married to women with good and respected jobs,do they Also resent their wife than? How do their wifes react to that if so? It's all so sureal to think that there are still people around that are convinced that any game or movie with a non male protagonist has an agenda. It has been like this since forever but still.

@jdv95 Didn’t you know? Family values are all about railing against those that don’t fit ‘the norm’ 😉

Anyone have a favorite podcast? I mostly listen to Conan O'Brian needs a friend for some good humor, but started searching for a good gamer podcast. So far I like ACG. Any other recommendations?

@Elodin You could try checking here:

@RogerRoger @Neolit Just checking to see if you fancy running the screenshot competition in September this year? Last year it clashed with the end of the year which is usually reserved for the GOTY. I will be stepping away from that cup and leaving you gents in charge. I'm sure @AdamNovice would be up for assisting in a trio (maybe have 3 topics like scene / funny / action or something). Let me know either way!

@JohnnyShoulder ahh, nice. Thanks

@RogerRoger Tbh I prefer to actually take part in the competition but if near the time no one else steps up I'll consider it.
@themcnoisy Also I'm not sure about doing it in September still a fair few big games are yet to come out. I reckon November is better.

@AdamNovice @RogerRoger that's fair comment, you can still take part. I will leave it up to you gents to decide how it plays out! Mention me whenever you start it up and I will cc everyone on here and my ps4 to join in.

Can't seem to directly link the tweet (most likely cos I don't have a twitter account), but I think this is very cool. Love the codec with David Hayter.

@JohnnyShoulder

@Thrillho Cheers pal! 👍

Here is the concept art for those who can't be bothered to click on a link!

I'm might set these as my desktop wallpapers.

@RogerRoger Unfortunately it has been at this stage for about 6 years, and this is closest thing we've seen of anything of note in that time. I wouldn't get any hopes up just yet. But still they sure are good to look at, and the coded made me laugh too!

@RogerRoger TBH I don't really seeing it being in development at all at the moment. You can never rule anything out in this day and age, but I will be pleasantly surprised if we hear that any progress has been made.

For goodness sake, people are upset over a popstar (Adele) losing weight? Whatever next, people upset that covid-19 has been cured?

@JohnnyShoulder Given that she doesn’t have a breakup to record a boring album about, perhaps we’ll be treated to 10 songs about weight loss?

@nessisonett I can't wait to hear her warble on about having eating rice cakes and pooing more. Triple platinum album right there.

@nessisonett I'm sure she has enough material from lockdown to bore us all when some are already bored to death.

Ha ha I love this Where's Wally/Waldo version of Mortal Kombat!

Here is the link to the source incase anyone is unable to zoom in.
