And to start my return on a good note, check out this amazing art I got last month from the amazing @queenchikkibug.bsky.social ! What can I say? I love being on my back with my legs up and ready~
If I see you talking about how much you love Arcane or Cyberpunk while bitching about BG3 having euro-normative beauty standards, you're clearly not pissed off about that you're trying to find things to say about the popular new thing to drive engagement. And one of those companies didn't do crunch.
Like how many games *do* have good character creators for letting you play fat characters?? And meanwhile they're defending shit with much more heinous crimes, especially against the actual people making the games, and it's like... at some point you have to wonder how much it's just contrarianism?
Like yeah it would have been great for the game to have more fat people, or more PoC, or whatever the complaint of the minute is, but also like, that's an issue with games as a whole? and it's good even to talk about this stuff! but then they act like it's some specific crime from larian and it's???
It's the classic swing back, because it got very popular a specific brand of ~~rather insufferable~~ fandom-leftist has now dedicated their online presence entirely to talking about how much it sucks. Like, idk, I feel like there are more productive ends to direct this stuff at sometimes perhaps.
holy shit that picture looks drier than I can believe
I think the novelty is really important here, one of the important and rewarding things about helping something to grow, narratively, is that it's not 100% predictable.
