legend

I've put a bunch more time into it. It's absolutely good and I think they have the foundation to expand it even more than VS. There are a surprisingly decent number of different character classes too. I've been spreading out playing them all which is probably not the best idea if I wanted to get through act 1 faster, but it's fun experimenting with the different styles.

I fully plan on discussing it once I get a chance to play it, much like I did for the demo

It's not even clear it's censored instead of just an artistic choice. The lace is pretty and see through, and various other outfits still have all out cleavage. You know you're fucked when even this release of Stellar Blade isn't sexualized enough for you.

This is the best thread on the citadel.

We should just drop it. Your life is going to be hard enough as it is when ChatGPT is already exceeding your reading comprehension and ability to grasp analogies.

You can have both. Bear in mind this whole discussion started because I said I think in the context of Stellar Blade, Eve is fine -- the game is deliberately over the top in all aspects. It's not fine when it's demanded to be universal in all games and inserted into places it doesn't belong. If only I could think of an analogy for it being inserted in places it doesn't belong...

If only there were a record of the conversation that would allow you find the context. Guess we'll never know.

I brought up Arwen. Liv and Cate are indeed beautiful. The point being made in that comment wasn't that they were not beautiful, it's that it would look stupid if they were running around in bikinis. It was contrasting the difference between have attractive characters and having overly sexualized characters in a setting that doesn't make sense. That they are beautiful, but not sexualized and that the former works but the latter doesn't in that story was the point.

This game is awesome and only $7. It's in early access, but it plays completely fine from my couple of hours. Its' a rogue like, but it has persistent Diablo-like loot you collect. You also get what are effectively boons from different gods who have short chats with you ala Hades. And finally, the mobs feel very Vampire Survivors-like. Get this game.

$350 for a 42" is fucking nuts. Making me wonder if I should get one as a work screen!

I appreciate the concession! Your statement was "Some examples of western developed games with female characters in them that seem to have been deliberately made less attractive looking" which claims a motive of the developers to make their female character less attractive. That's simply not it in any meaningful capacity (I'm sure we can find *some* games where the character by design is unattractive, but that's not a meaningful trend and not the case for many of the games you cited). There are far more benign reasons than an intent to make characters less attractive, such as some of the things I enumerated in my earlier response. Ooph. My man, you have no idea. The amount of shit developers get is legendary. And to top if off, they work incredibly long hours, for often comparably low pay to other fields, and then get laid off when the game they put the whole lives into was successful, because the execs need to report "growth" every quarter for shareholders over the people who bled for it and laying people off is the easy way for them to do it.

Looking like the character is not proof. 1. Writers don't direct the art, nor create the character models. 2. There is a credited model for the actual character, who is so much the actual model, she got toxic attacks for it. 3. Insomniac directly confirmed that they used the same model for the appearance as the first, because of the false accusations. All facts point to it not being the writer. Clinging to "no, it has to be her because she looks like her, all official sources must be lying" is not proof of anything. It's conspiracy theory. That's the essence of the whole point: you're leaping to a false accusation on flimsy grounds for this belief in general, although this instance is particularly acute. You can prefer characters to look however you want, but making baseless accusations about the motivations of developers just because you don't like it really isn't cool. Especially not when developers are treated like absolute shit for all the hard work they put in. Don't pile this nonsense on top.

Both width and length are a problem. Sit at window and lack of length makes it a major pain to get out. Sit on aisle and the attendants will smash into you all the time from lack of width. Put a bag under the front seat, say good bye to stretching your legs assuming you can fit it in.

Maybe a side benefit is if this discourages them from these tactics to always get completely full flights we will not have to run into the nonsense about there not being enough room for carry on luggage. Airplanes are so fucking cramped it's a nightmare.

I'm so glad to hear it's polished and performs well. Goes a long way for an action game like this.
