All right, it's time for 2024 resolutions. Here's one:
2024 is the year of the TOMBOY.
That's right. No "enbies", no labels, no pretending you have to be part of the LGBTIABBQT+ alphabet soup, just girls being girls and women being women! We celebrate their strength, their
Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
We’re still

No matter how hard you try, how desperately you dress it up, coming in from the outside and demanding a hobby be changed to suit your preferences is never going to be a good argument.
@CBR
This is what happens when you teach kids there's no such thing as objective reality. They think they can just say something and it becomes true because they say it.
In this case, denial in the face of her face.
@joindicebreaker
Not using Black Isle for BG3 is understandable - they were no longer a studio.
Not using Larian for BG4, on the other hand, is rather hard to understand.
I guess they didn't make a microtransaction-ridden, perpetually-monetizable game so they are not "the right studio".
@LGBTfdn
Those made-up "pronouns" are all third person. They are only used when talking about a person, and said person is not present at the time (otherwise you'd use the person's name).
They're an absolutely pointless attempt at controlling other people's speech.
So, no.
@The_Conscript
@MrsKonradCurze
That has to be the dumbest attempt at reframing an argument I've seen in years. The fact that you followed it up with a "sit down" is just *Chef's Kiss*
@helldivers2
You better start working on a North Pole set of missions, because it'll be a cold day in hell before I make a Playstation account.
Off my Wishlist I guess. Have a wonderful life.

If these people had been in charge then, James Earl Jones would have never been the voice of Darth Vader.
Just try to imagine that timeline.

"this guy who’s every walking stereotype of anti-SJWs."
Except that he's not, and you'd know if you'd seen more from him than one specific clip. And even then, his point stands: You cannot give these wokies an inch.
@XMenUpdate
Calling the fans of the works you've decided to change -ists and -phobes to force them to like it. What a bold, new strategy. I'm sure we've never seen it before or know how it'll end.
Bottom line is simple: There was a thing, people liked the thing, then a creator decided to
@ObsoleteSony
100% wrong, for two reasons:
Games were novel in the past. The vast majority of modern games are prettier to look at and have higher production values, but are merely iterations of the same old concepts.
Games had to be tight and optimized back then. Modern games are buggy,

Remember kids: Put your $2,000 STRAIGHT into crypto/gold/silver. If you need it later, you can always sell it. But inflation is going to crush the purchasing power of that $2,000.
@DrPhillipsMD
He was clearly wearing a mask. Or are you saying masks don't work?
And what makes you think the SS were "forced" to play? Maybe the SS driver agreed voluntarily. Maybe he already had COVID and is, thus, highly immunized.
@reddit_lies
Reminds me of that post on Reddit by some thirty-something "sex worker" complaining that men online lied to her. She kept hearing how it was no big deal and only insecure men would care, then when she wanted to "settle down" men were avoiding her like the plague. Good times.
@DemonicDgen
My favorite part is the follow-up "you need to understand why so many women would choose the bear!"
Sad thing is, we do understand. But it's beyond our power to reconnect them with reality.
@JoshAnimator
@MelonieMac
Correct. This is what min-maxing your DEI score looks like. Put everything into one ultra-woke-diverse character, then the rest can be normal.
@alyssa_merc
Or you can post the requested proof that it's real, and literally own these "conspiracy theorists" in the eyes of everyone else in about 3 seconds.
But you won't.
Because it's fake.

has been an amazing success. It has shown all the stages of a communist takeover in such a succinct and efficient manner it's laudable. They were out of food and starving in only two days, and in just a week they already have a warlord ruling!
@RollingStone
Except that survey after survey shows the Star Wars fandom to be majority male. It doesn't mean no women like it, it never has meant no women like it, but it does mean the fandom and audience are predominantly male.
Cope all you want, reality doesn't care about your feelings.
@ChristinaTasty
Obsidian seemed to do their best only when they were under immense pressure from the publishers. See: KOTOR2 and FO:NV.
Then they got free reign and we ended up with a snoozefest.
@RealEricCarmen
Before the Plandemic you could get a prescription for HCQ just by saying you were going to a country where malaria could be present. That's how "dangerous" it is.
@Independent
Someone who talks about the Bechdel test unironically deserves neither your attention, nor your time. They may not even deserve oxygen, but we're more generous than circumstances warrant.
@AyishaMuhamad
"It's different when we do it!" is a hilariously bad take. Reminder that Muslims were raiding Europe for slaves well into the 19th Century, and that's just for starters:
Also hilarious that you talk about "looted artifacts", when we've seen Muslim

The tl;dr of the thread is that doing things well is hard and that you're all perverts who just want to whack to porn.
He also had the audacity of comparing that thing to Sigourney Weaver.
That's it, that's the tread.
