The games are mainly more realistic in theme because of the Lara murder porn (that everyone laughs at) and the integration of the super generic crafting mechanics that every game has to have nowadays. The writers are at least in the beginning wanting the tone more serious and Lara to overcome "trials and tribulations" as her origin story of how she becomes the Lara Croft we know. Though, in the end, the games (I didn't play the last one though) are like B action movies that don't really know how to have enough fun with themselves, and the writers aren't very good as well. The gameplay is, outside of the crafting, a fun action game akin to Uncharted. The bow is so OPed in the games, it's not even funny; just google search "tomb raider bow overpowered".
I didn't mean to imply that the bow isn't a good weapon in game.

When I said that the bow wasn't a weapon of choice I literally meant that Lara Croft doesn't choose to use a bow. In both the first and second game the bow is your first projectile weapon and is a found/built weapon. In the first game she finds the bow on a dead body hanging from a tree, and in the second game she builds a make-shift bow out of sticks.

If you saying dual-wielding pistols is too unrealistic for the new trilogy, the way the bow functions in-game is even more unrealistic than dual-wielding pistols.

Like the stripes of a gurning wasp, thumbnail is also visual aid part of content warning. Trust, after seeing the mess in motion, you will start to miss the merciful simplicity of that thumbnail.
The embarrassingly sad experience of seeing Jim Breuer once has thankfully faded mostly from my memory, so I'll refrain from making that mistake again.

As someone who is trained in using a bow (both recurve and compound) and has done bow hunting before, as well as someone who owns multiple guns and shoots guns often I can say with great confidence that there is not a single game that has ever gotten bows or guns right. Not even the mil-sim ones.

Exposing the go woke go broke grift. Birdman exposes the lie of go woke, go broke. Being diverse or appealing to those of a different demographic does not lead to financial failure these people like to push. Nike and Apple have proven this time and again. They saw an increase in profit that is still ongoing. Movies in all forms. Immediate entertainment are included. Barbie, Zootopia, GotG3, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Spider-Verse, Get Out, etc. Netflix with all of its diversity and inclusion options. Plenty of movies, tv shows, and animated shows are still on the streaming platform and are doing great. They've all proven this narrative false. What people like critical drink or do is deflect or constantly move the gold hosts whenever these media or property succeed, and only cherry pick bad examples and either missed the point or intentionally lie about why those specific media failed. Or they'll hide behind old movie examples like Aliens or T2, and contradict themselves to make it seem like they're not bigoted or full of hate for people being not straight white men. from them Birdman Does talk about the Assassin's Creed Shadows situation, and how despite all the vocal minority online, it's still one of the highest pre ordered games right now. Bird man does not come to the fence of pre. Orders, it feels the systems outdated but it proves how fake in full of shit go woke go broke truly is.

So it seems Rogue the barely legal BAT has been censored a bit by having her bare back covered. Oh no! Won't someone think of the furries!

Predictable some circles are throwing a hissy fit about it. Over the BAT.

Most Sonic/Sega fans, and the kids buying this game especially, do not give a shit nor aware. Mainly the kids aren't aware of the censorship nor would care much either.

Pro tip. The human diversity foundation is literally a nazi think tank money funnel, originally known as the pioneer fund: doing the same for actual Hitler n nazi co since 1937


The problem with some weirdly consistently white male atheists is they get too lost in ego, with complacency dulling critical thought and end up stumbling into indoctrination from the weeping sermons far up their own arseholes. It's not difficult to be atheist and non-racist. In fact I'd say it's a whole lot easier to be atheist without racism. It's just all too much bloody effort I'm afraid, cannot be bothered.

I'd agree that no game has recreated firing either guns or bows properly, especially with a mouse because the aiming is just too good. The new TR trilogy is not going so realistic you can't have dual-wielding pistols or they are giving Lara the specific muscles for mountain climbing and stuff like that.

Even Joseph Seed would find Trump and his cronies too wacky for him. I still laughed.


Continue to burn in your own hell Logan Paul.


This is a sad one. Death by suicide and falling in love with someone that was never real.


ReviewTecUSA finally imploded on himself. Fuck him.

ex wife's deposition mentioned Hitler speeches kept beside bed. And yet, strangely not the first gop politician to have been outed as doing so, though trying to search without all results being "trump new thing trump" is as hopeless as trying to find an obscure opioid that isn't "fentanyl omg panic new thing fentanyl!"


Uh, almost forgot


Robert and Miles talk about the mid-century crisis in American masculinity and then catch up to the modern era, and Gamergate.

You know, I'm not even convinced it was a conscious change. I think somebody was just asked to model Rouge the Bat and didn't get obsessed over details
