Started playing again with a duo partner and was a bit shocked at the toxicity in Trade chat. Iโve been playing the game less and less over the years, and I guess I was used to it at one point. I suppose I also just have less tolerance for bullshit than I used to.
I donโt know how it is now, but Classic was even worse at launch. Blizzard underestimated player demand for the product from the start, so a company that had already slashed their GM staff to the bone wasnโt ready for it (and players in public chat channels were aware and took full advantage).
Hrm, kind of an odd mix of classics and recent releases that arenโt going to be remembered five years from now. That said, Iโm just glad Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is on here. Itโs a wonderful hidden gem that barely gets talked about. I donโt even like puzzle games much, but the gorgeous pixel art and soundtrack helped me get really into it.
Iโm also reminded that I need to get back to Citizen Sleeper. Was very surprised by it when I tried it (before I got sucked into Honkai: Star Rail).
Iโm gonna be hopelessly far behind on this series forever (currently on Ayesha).
This is a dimension of the conversation I wish was talked about more. By linking strict norms to behavior in public, weโre telling petite women of the age of majority that donโt have curves that they canโt ever be sexually attractive because itโs extremely immoral and taboo. Itโs especially a problem for trans women who canโt afford/donโt want breast augmentation surgery or otherwise canโt develop biological markers that we code as adult. Being told only pedophiles will be attracted to you is harmful to everyone involved.
With todayโs news that a licensed song is being removed in a future update of Alan Wake, Iโm reminded that television shows have also been getting similar โupdatesโ for a little while now. The staggered release schedule of television shows makes it the only medium off the top of my head that does anything similar. Pilot shows were generally unpolished products, often followed up by recasting or other major changes. Abrupt cancellations also could mean unfinished stories (no, Iโm not still bitter about Stargate Universe).
Game development is an iterative process, so as soon as I first started seeing open beta testing come about as a part of digital distribution decades ago, I figured it was only a matter of time before profiteering got us to where we are now.
Iโll have to ask you about this one sometime. Been meaning to play it for a while now.
