Not really looking forward to Riot MMO because of who they keep hiring.
I feel like ANet is the only group going "How can we make this different and better?". While everyone else wants to make WoW2. GW2, even today, still more fun than most other MMOs.
@erikkain I was reading a thread on Reddit about the amount of money raised by Ozzy's concert for charity.
I didn't make it a few comments in before someone said "woke".
In a music thread. About Ozzy and charity.
I am very much over the "woke" / "anti-woke" words and nonsense.
@praeco Kudos to throwing yourself out there. Reading and responding to fan input / theories / conspiracies, for the last few weeks. I'd go bonkers.
Nice to see a creative handle it with tact rather than childish name calling. Though I'm sure you do that privately =)
Metaphor: ReFantazio's success is further proof that politics are good in videogames, actually—no matter what reactionaries tell you. https://t.co/GICVbsoOEd
Maybe if you insult voters just a little more it would work?
Did everyone try calling Trump, “Super Mega Ultra Hitler 9000X”?
Maybe just one more celebrity endorsement? What’s Skeelo up to?
Have we tried being even MORE condescending? Especially to Hispanic men?
In a fantasy setting you have the creative freedom to make new cultures. New words that reflect those cultures. It can be elaborate and anything you want.
Why be lazy and use words we use?
Good writing is creating your own worlds and words - letting people draw parallels.
Creatively shallow.
Non binary is a recent word. It was created from our time and culture. They wouldn’t use that word - or “trans”. They would have their own words, created by their times and cultures.
This applies to everywhere around the world.
I want to reiterate here that I fully support inclusion in video games and fantasy RPGs. What bothers me is the hamfisted, preachy manner in which it is done. I genuinely believe this does more harm than good. https://t.co/TTSsrVNEzc
Each with their own words that reflect their own cultures and times.
Not to mention that no one talks like they do in game. It comes off as very “imaginary” and fake. There’s no humanity behind any of it.
All these technological advancements. Sending cars in space. Rovers to Mars. Internet where ever. “AI” making videos of dead people.
I refuse to believe we don’t have the technology to exterminate mosquitos.
Make them go extinct.
