I'm not the one making kids think they need to be sterilized by parroting the BS.
A majority of them ain't forcing kids to do this. You definitely don't know your shit. Everyone knows you don't put kids through transition early that want it. Their body has to mature physically and mentally. In order to process it and when they become ready of age. Like I mentioned before. The ones that did screw up. They screwed up but a majority of them aren't doing that. They don't speak for the ones who actually do it right and know their job.

You're prejudice and hatred is showing itself. You clearly don't give a shit about the kids. Or at the very least, not in the way you're thinking. I'll hear nothing else otherwise. So don't even try it. I suggest you check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Shows you don't think about this at all. What I'm saying is that you are indoctrinating them at a young age by spreading the BS (and it is BS), leading to transition later if now early. It's sick. It's evil. Just stop.

Since you're gonna keep bringing up the Ghosts of Yotei comments forever and the guy above already let it be known that I disgust him, I will add that I object to the VA's transgender message as well.

Boy sees his female classmates surpass the boys academically. (Partly because schools are structured to the way girls learn and teachers favor girls.) The women in his life typically have more attractive professions than the men because of how far ahead of the boys they were in K12 school, how many exclusive college scholarships they have and because women are usually picked over men for the same positions. Because of what filmmakers call toxic masculinity, the men that he watches in movies and TV shows are typically less assertive, more foolish, vile and weaker than their predecessors, while woman are usually portrayed positively. The boy is also isolated. He walks on eggshells all the time, with the opposite sex, again because of the modern hostility towards masculinity. If he does gather the courage to approach a girl and manages to do it in a way that is not considered creepy or repulsive by modern standards, the girl will very likely reject him anyway. A forty year concentration of wealth has made her, like most, gravitate towards the few men still able to succeed. Boy doesn't have the looks to make up for that, isn't in the top percentile of men. He tries to build charisma, but has grown up on technology. It has both made him worse at socializing and made the girl less receptive. She comes off as cold, perhaps unintentionally, because she is using her phone or because her mind is elsewhere: in the digital. Car-obsessive city planning, the death of walkable cities after the 1950s, doesn't give him many opportunities to encounter women. His life after high school is mostly the lone commute (in a car) and the destination, where he sees the same few people all the time. When so many young people are not having sex that it's called alarming and concerning, it's no longer just on the individual, it's systemic.

Boy has no pride, no male role models, no prospects, feels isolated, has been shamed little by little over the course of his life. Depression inevitably festers. He sees women own the dating market at age 20, sees how much better women are treated and portrayed. Becomes convinced that he was born in the wrong body, because no one was ever there to help him make sense of his life. Those who might have explained kept their mouths shut for fear of being alienated by their friends, family, colleagues. The voices around him were almost exclusively pro-trans.

Makes sense that men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women and that men transition three to four times as often as women. They have to bottle up their feelings and can't be as emotional. The worst thing about people spreading this harebrained theory of being born into the wrong body is that children believe it after hearing it enough, eventually leading to destructive hormone therapy and self-mutilation. This is why the right calls them groomers, which they can't grasp for some reason. The reason it's scientific consensus is because the researchers who wanted to prove it got grants by a medical industry that wants to sell drugs and surgery. Nobody will give a grant to someone researching if gender dysphoria is a sham. It would make the company look bigoted.

An eighteen year old boy died in April 2023 from complications within 24 hours of his vaginoplasty. They used a part of his colon. I thought those doctors were uniquely moronic to use his colon, but it's common practice when puberty blockers prevent the penis from developing enough to craft an artificial vagina. Trans proponents won't talk about tragedies like that, nor be honest about what these procedures actually entail. They silently accept it as the cost of inclusivity. Some will tell you that it's fine to give children hormone blockers because it can be stopped if the child changes their mind. No, the damage is permanent.

I won't attack trans people. I won't be mean to them when I see them or need to interact with them. But the advocates deserve scorn. They refuse to acknowledge that boys are so much unhappier than girls (proven by the suicide numbers) and can't think about the factors because they don't wanna be associated with "them." With incels, Nazis or whatever they wanna call us. It's all political for them, at the expense of children.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
How expected that you would focus on that.

How are the all gender restrooms in this game designed? Is there a single room where women have to share space with the men or do they have three separate rooms: men, women, trans? If it's three separate rooms, then the creators unintentionally implied that trans people are still not welcomed in their "inclusive" vision of the future. That women don't want to share the restroom with men who think they are women, and vise versa. Not to mention how cost and space-prohibitive it would be to make a separate restroom for such a small minority of people. If it's a single room, then why are there three symbols at all? "WC" or something else would make more sense. Why is "all gender" written there, except to smack the message in the player's face harder? Are restrooms off the station the way we have them now then? That pointlessly raises questions about the state of gender politics in the future (all gender restrooms here but not there), again making trans people look ostracized, contrary to the developer's intentions. If it's still two rooms, then the creators implied that, again, there is still widespread fighting over this in the future and men and women have to be reminded with a sign that trans people are welcome in their restrooms.

I expressed my thoughts about the trans movement yesterday morning. It's evil.
Oh holy shit, I never expected to find one of your ilk in the wild outside of trolls/retards in the steam forums. Oh, so excited, ok, ok ok, calm down. What are a few games that aren't woke?

Adam Conover without a script he's reading from isn't really good (his hilarious takes when he was on Joe Rogan are proof of that and on these type shows/podcasts). You watch/listen for the guest and not him. I listen to most stuff like this when driving so I'm not actually taking real time away from doing other things to watch this. He did an "AI" episode like this and they just b!tched about Facebook and social media, and I skipped to the next "podcast" on the playlist after like 10-15 mins of the conversation going nowhere interesting.

I just get error-links at your Steam-links.
Yeah, you are going to have to google it. It's a JPRG; the author says they would translate it, so I would wait for that, but I am using a semi-translated version, and the guy who made it is like the JPRG George RR Martin. Also, please do yourself a favor and click no on the NSFW aspect of it.

This game made by the same guy is less depressing but still depressing. Also, click no for the NSFW.


I mean, if this were a book, I would be buying it. It's good. The Plant Guy plotline itself is so good.

I also now have a rule for all stories: The more fleshed out the characters are, and the more people die the better the story.

I would, if I knew their titles. All I get from your post's links is the message "ERROR: could not load information about this article".
King's Exit is the English name. I won't spoil why that's the title.

Not really. There's more to gaming than just the AAA sector. Some of the remakes I mentioned are either indie or lower budget/niche games. If they were truly killing the industry, then everyone would've seen the effects years ago.
They did, that's why they're saying it's killing the industry.

Not sure if this is a hot take or not but; the next mainline Pokémon game after Legends 2 should either:

A) Go back to the sprite system but tarted up to 4K for its overworld and keep the full 3D for battles and maybe cutscenes.

B) If stay full 3D they must, then they should look into cell shading to give the overall look a bit more pizaz.

Not really. If they did, then all of those remakes would have died and failed. Plenty of other new shits coming out. It's just a matter of people paying basic attention and not sniffing their own farts.

That is all I have to say, and I am not doing back and forth on this. My word is final.

Killing the industry artistically. I didn't think that needed to be spelled out.

Once again, not really. There's plenty of artistic games that still come out. You're just not paying attention. We're not even bothered to play them. Also, most of these remakes look and play great. Clear care was put into them. I don't care how much you dislike them. The people developed in most of these did and actually do care.

Remakes and moronic spending are killing the industry artistically. I enjoy a good indie game as much as the next guy, but small developers are pretty limited in what they can produce.

Moronic spending part? Yes. Remakes themselves? Not really. Unless you're Square Enix, but they don't count for the whole fucking industry. They are a special and unique case of expecting so much, yet can never match the unrealistic goals they set for themselves.

Artistically, these remakes ain't killing shit. Especially when they have great art design, unique or revamped looks, and bunch of hidden details you won't find your first time through.
