βIf somebody can show me how we get an outcome, how we get a result, how do we get an answer to this, I'm all for it."
"But if we are going to be sitting here in endless quorum calls, I don't know if that's in the best interest.β
No excuses. You GET THE RESULT through FIGHTING.

@Pirat_Nation Honestly, the pixel remaster of FF6 is the definitive way to play IMO.
β - Orchestral Score
β - Better battle and nav controls
β - Quick save anywhere
β - Loyal but improved visuals (looking at you Opera scene)
Easily worth the physical copy for Switch 2 on Amazon.
@AnthropicAI Goodbye, Anthropic.
We've witnessed the fallout of your type of behavior in government now for the last several decades of "not a monopoly" monopolies. It's never good for anyone but the people lobbying government.
I won't have my money going to support that BS. Get bent.
GamerGate has destroyed an industry.
And the perpetrators couldn't be happier.
To them, it was worth destroying dosens of studios and all the jobs in the industry so a handful of women who felt wronged could exact their revenge.
Say what you may about the breast milk brotherhood but those guys were apparently holding back a tidal wave of unfunny millennial women taking complete control of this franchise. Look at this dawg we are never getting anything cool from blizzard ever again
So sick and tired of this stuff ruining games that could have been successful. Not just that, they could have had the definitive edition here. Now it's garbage.
All the same cliches:
forced modern narratives that make absolutely zero sense in context
an absolute phobia of making anything womanly, traditional or otherwise, sexy or indulgent of
FULFILLING THE FANTASY OF PLAYING A VIDEO GAME
Having women in the game is fine (e.g. Kat in Reach was well written). I've written women into my own games. The issue is artificial writing and lack of awareness.
It's clear that the devs needed to force more diversity into the story, so they made the new main character a girl, as if everything MUST be 50/50, evenly distributed against all logic.
Then they use the excuse of "lore" to make a poorly written character that immediately berates the player, even though it's contextually ridiculous.
The end result is a cliche girl boss telling the player how terrible they are, in a game where your (primarily) male audience is already very skeptical of forced social politics. But the devs/leads never stopped and said "Hmm, maybe the end result here is not achieving our goals of winning back our primary demographic."
It's tone deaf on top of being poorly executed. And this hurts branding, it hurts sales, and will destroy a studio's reputation (whatever's left of it anyway)
This should horrify every American
A man tries to walk through Minneapolis with an American Flag
He immediately gets harassed, threatened with physical violence. Shortly after a car pulls up quickly and a man gets out to rush him to cause harm. He has to run and yell heβs calling the cops
The American canβt even sit in his car without worried about being assaulted
βThis sh*t hurts my heart, man. I can't even sit here without feeling like I got to roll my fucking window up and lock my door because somebody walks by
It's a f*cking disgrace. No one can f*cking have kids safe down here, especially if you're white βThis sh*t's a joke. What the f*ck has this state come toβ
This is literally horrifying. We need the national guard. All these people should be rounded up and deported. Denaturalize and deport
We donβt have to live like this
