Oddbean new post about login | logout @Rasterman If The Game Award pedophiles snub TotK for GOTY, you now know why (that, and Baldur's Gay 3 being pozzed and promoting literal animal-fucking).
The weird part of BG3 is that the animal fucking us a miniscule part of the game that can only happen if you romance a certain character in a certain way. Why it was promoted as a big deal or a key part is only explainable if they were actively trying to appeal to degens which again is weird because the other 99.9% of the game has nothing to do with that 10 second scene. I really just don't get it at all. Why advertise shit like that for your game? Public perception of the game goes from "best RPG released this year, GOTY for sure" to "pozzed animal fucking game for degen fucks" as soon as you show and promote degeneracy like that.
@SapientPearwood @Rasterman They're absolutely actively pandering to sick fucks. Keep in mind, while the beastiality might just be one scene, the game as a whole is full of poisonous garbage: https://youtu.be/fkKHAa9FiZ0?si=EGmtBno8rXW9dQ_G&t=1687
@Christi Junior @SapientPearwood @Rasterman yeah arent most of the female characters also bossy dykes? there's also some shit related to non-binary shit on the character maker right?
@43a37488 @Rasterman @SapientPearwood The character creator alone makes Baldur's Gate 3 shit in my eyes: It only lets you select "body type" and "identity", not your sex, "nonbinary" is a valid category, the default human being is a nigger etc. Some people also mock the game for having a vitiligo option. I have no strong opinions on that, but apparently that's also a somewhat advanced form of virtue signaling.
@Christi Junior @Rasterman @SapientPearwood yep also you can't really make good looking female characters. most options have a certain level of dykeness to them
@Christi Junior @Rasterman @43a37488 @SapientPearwood Vitilogo is straight up Tumblrism diversity shit. I know a guy who has it and the topic is very awkward to even breach but every hint I get is that he'd much rather not have it.
@Christi Junior @Rasterman @SapientPearwood @43a37488 specifically what I mean by Tumblrism is that it gets pushed by Tumblr centric artists and/or orbiters of those kind of circles. If you see some fan art or an OC with vitiligo you can guarantee it's a piece by some they/them weirdo fetishizing a skin illness.
@52791e0c @Rasterman @43a37488 @SapientPearwood So it's a weirdo fetish, and not diversity/representation bullshit?
The character creator bullshit really had me pissed off. No one wants to start out with nignog characters. Jesus, just give me a fucking Drow if you want to start out with a dark skinned character, not some retarded jungle bunny.
@Christi Junior @43a37488 @SapientPearwood I've seen a tad of BG3 gameplay because Warski made an Ethan Ralph dwarf and PPP reads his lines in character. Seems like a real game with real mechanics... but with that much pandering for the worst people in society, it's never gonna be a good game to me. :drake_dislike:
a meatboy obstacle course to avoid having gay sex
The weirdest part to me was when Astarion asks to feed on you to sate his craving for blood. Reasonable request but instead of being a normal non-sexual thing there were heavy sexual undertones and it leads to Astarion having a hard-on for you for the rest of the game. Absolutely disgusting.
that doesn't surprise me too much since vampires have been sex objects for weird women and weirdos in general for decades, but it's still gross
@Christi Junior GOTY is clearly going to be Baldur's Gate 3. With all the homosexuality in it, it couldn't be any other way. That line alone disqualifies the game from any Western media award show. The question would be if the game journalists made it past the Great Sky Island. Remember this is an annoying game with combat that distracts from the gameplay. https://detroitriotcity.com/media/e60e26caedeafc60b49131bedc8203fc3a4f6d6e1ab8cb5c89a5b203eda35276.png
@Rasterman Gaming Would Be Much Better Without The Journalists
@Rasterman @Christi Junior been playing zolda lately. im kinda enjoying the combat just because you can use almost anything as a weapon and that appeals to my sadistic side :doge_laugh:
@43a37488 @Rasterman Some random combinations are remarkably effective, especially in terms of shit you can stick on your shield.
@Christi Junior @Rasterman i really like using the flamethrower shield or sticking red slime to a shield because it explodes :doge_laugh: also been using the fans to push enemies of cliffs or using bat wings to get precise shoots at those bokoblin convoys that carry green slime parts
Especially the kart and bomb shields I would not have known if I wasnt such an autist
@Christi Junior @43a37488 I tried a lot of shield combos trying to find a way to finish the unlit shrine. It seems the wing and fan do nothing. For a moment, I thought I could maybe shield surf and then glide; but the only way to do that was behind Ganondorf.
@43a37488 @Christi Junior Good. Basically, if you can target something with Ultrahand, you can also use Fuse on it, so there are a lot of combinations to try.
@Rasterman @Christi Junior yes, tho i still find funny the idea of ussing a boomerang with a rock attached to it to kill enemies :doge_laugh:
@43a37488 @Christi Junior Just two days ago I tried attaching a wing to a boomerang to find it flies farther and faster. Try a Zonai flamethrower on it for a shitshow. :laugh_evil:
