    Reading everything they’ve added to FO76 since launch though and what the FUCK were they thinking launching it like they did. They got lucky they might get another shot now because of the show. It took two years before human npcs?!?! And the subscription service came out BEFORE that?????

    The unfortunate reality of live service games.  If they stayed in development until the content that justified their existence was done, they'd never get made.

    I would easily be the worst GM in the NFL as I'd absolutely never keep first-round picks if I had them. I'm trading those away for as many later round or future draft picks as I could possibly get away with.

     

    I'm a firm believer that in the NFL draft -- much like warfare -- "quantity has a quality all its own".

    The scientific studies agree with you. 

    NFL teams know the best way to draft, so why aren’t they doing it? (https_theathletic.com)

    It’s got it all.  Girls in bikinis is stock for their key art.

     

    I think people have oddly selective memory about this franchise.  You know, thank goodness we don’t get games like Duke Nukem 3D anymore, but never mind the game where you can fuck then shoot the scantily clad women.

     

    If they brought back ‘hot coffee’ today, I’m not sure people would make such a deal of it anymore.  Sexualization in Western games may not always be as visual, but its become more gameified than when games were targeting teenagers.

    The "select the right three dialog prompts to fuck the NPC" is always kinda gross.

    Lara Croft was just boobs and guns when she was originally introduced. 

    Lara Croft wasn't in a bikini.  And if the best example people have is a game from 1996, I'm moving on.

    Good Faith Discussion -- talking about things that are actually in games

    Bad Faith Discussion -- coming up with fictitious examples and basing your entire discussion around it

    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.

    You keep bringing up Bikinis, and I have no idea why.
