i thought these fit the topic pretty well.

But the second one is actually happening. Dev consoles go out on the 28th.

that's part of the joke once you read into what types of games they were promising on the thing to get more idiots to throw money at them.

What games are they promising?

tell me when you see anything like this on the console, which is what the people who funded it believed they would get. all they're going to get is iphone games, because the "console" is an iphone with a different shape.

But they are still delivering the console. People being dumb expecting 3/4 of those titles is nothing new. The project was to create a console and they are doing just that. What happens with it after release is up to devs.

Also, video game misogyny is literally the dumbest thing about feminism.

I still remain convinced GW2 was so bad largely because so many feminists were on the dev team. Men would not have designed a game like that for the reason that know better than to try to insulate players from themselves.

GW2 had brilliant graphics and a promising game engine. What made it unplayable was the endless "second chance" mechanics (hated the 'downed' crap especially) and the pervasive triviality. With good lead devs who understand gaming it could have been amazing. Too bad.

Without the downed mechanic, i think they'd have had to institute healers into the game.

The downed mechanic is the result of feminism. Yeah, no.

I'm surprised WoW didn't make it on to that list.

Just forget I said anything. Mea culpa.

True, but there are varying degrees of crazy. Some crazy functions in society, other kinds of crazy do not.

That's saying a lot when you consider it's an insane philosophy that attempts to legitimize itself with vague, sweeping assertions about "privilege" and "patriarchy."
