i don't talk a lot about gaming bc i don't do it regularly enough, but when i do, i commit like 400 hours to one game and then don't touch it again for ages. alas

anyway so let's talk games! let's talk about all these fucked up game factories that have ruined some truly iconic STELLAR games and series, just out of greed

- overwatch (when they lost kaplan and started fucking with balance on a weekly basis it was over tbh - also all the gross SH shit with Blizzard 😒)

- dragon age (veilguard was a flop technically - i have yet to play this properly, but dragon age fan friends have told me it feels rushed and not as well written as previous DAs and also clearly been Fortnite'd so it's more shiny and attractive AND look what EA just fkn did to BioWare lmao)

- the sims (dissolving maxis has reduced the quality of the games significantly and it's taken them almost 10 years to get back to their former glory, and not even - also EA prioritising financial gain over integrity, surprise..)

- cyberpunk 2077 (this almost goes without saying bc they've been raked over the coals over this, BUT have realised their mistake and recovered beautifully - still an example of corporate greed, that uhhh no execs in the game industry have learned shit from i guess)

- final fantasy (don't get me fuckin started lmao... it has simply not been the same since ff10 lbr - they had to remake ff7 to get people interested in FF again, and the most recent FF came out to no fanfare whatsoever, and tbh it's the most polished turd i have ever seen - although I have heard good things about FF14, despite its initial broken-ness)

I'm sure there's more - let's make a salt train!

This fuckery has got to be talked about more, and looking at the big picture too. They can't make the world hell and then also fuck with the alternate worlds that we use to escape and connect with others.

Not to mention all of the artists, designers, writers, techs that are a part of our communities getting laid off and fucked over

At least one of the good things about games is that if a game is compromised we can tell, and will vote with our money accordingly

huh it's almost like when you hurry art up before it's properly finished and overprice it to get more money sooner it reduces its quality and people can tell

wow 😦 what a concept

ender woke up a little salty so here's a late munday opinion: ppl need to actually research how to write kids more often. like yea theres varying circumstances and situations for muses i get that, but sometimes its like.... "and you couldn't have just made them a young adult why..?" bc its like ppl are writing mini adults; there's a difference between a mini adult and a kid actually trying to be perceived as an adult. for the love of everything do research or watch how kids actually act. its such a horrid pet peeve of mine.

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

🔥- Vegapunk is not a good man. He is complacent in what is done to those the government has experimented on. Complacency to evil does not equate good. From what we have seen of him he seems to think himself better than those who do the direct evil actions, like Judge or Queen or Ceaser.... but they learned from someone, they strove to surpass him and as such he is the direct cause of all the pain they have subjected their victims to. I refuse to say that a man who admits to not joining those fighting to liberate the world solely because they cannot pay him enough is 'good'.

🔥- I refuse to believe the story is going as fast as Oda says that it is. The short time frame eliminates a lot of travel and implies that the world is not as big and expansive and unexplored as was implied in early chapters. I refuse to believe that it is only a few short weeks between Fishman Island and the start of Wano. Luffy should not have still been 17 by the time they hit Sabaody, he should have been 18 at the least. This implies that Luffy spent more time with Shanks than he did his own crew. It makes no sense from a narrative perspective. It's a similar issue I have with GO.T, travel should not be like teleporting, especially when sailing ships are involved.

Where is the exploration, where is the adventure? Why have we not seen any unexplored islands, only the Island of Rare Animals, Little Garden, the Boin Archipelago and Rusikuina can be considered true exploration. LET THEM HAVE ADVENTURES, LET THEM DISCOVER MORE ISLANDS WHERE THERE IS NOT CIVILIZATION. Civilization at every turn, and a map at each island implies that the world is mapped. This cheapens and over all insults Nami's dream to draw a map of the world, if the map already exists aside from one single island.

Asians are not white asians are not white asians are not white WE ASIANS ARE NOT WHITE. can we have paler skin? Yes. Can some of us pass as white if one parent was asian and the other not? Sure. But stop calling us white.

in honor of that wizard game releasing : it always amazes me how quick hp fans are to say they are "anti jkr" and don't share her views, while only ever talking about the transphobia. yeah, the transphobia is bad, and any support of her ( both monetary and implicit ) boosts her ability to hurt trans people.

but they never fucking talk about her other bigotry. her rampant antisemitism, for one. people are bending over backwards to try and justify buying antisemitism : the game. her ableism, specifically toward autistic people. her fatphobia. her racism. how about calling gay men with aids p*doph*les?

you can say you're anti jkr all you want, but silence on all her bigotry speaks louder. the fact you are engaging with her work at all, when she has said her fans agree with her, they are just too scared to say so, and that she is your mouthpiece, then her words are louder than your own. all you do is boost that voice louder.

lemme sum up my issues with the series with this:

you cannot make a character get better or overcome issues or have any kind of development without first understanding them and why they have those issues to begin with.

[saltlordofold]

double tank team issues 😔

[deadkenndy]

I legit think they could've done something interesting with maria and her revenge motivations.

🔥 🔥 🔥 gimme gimme gimme

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

🔥- Barto is not someone I enjoy seeing on my screen or on the page. This has nothing to do with the character and everything to do with the gag that he portrays. The fan aspect is blown to creepy proportions, including going to the point of a shrine on the Barto Club ship for the Strawhats. Speaking of that ship.... it is an atrocity of a ship and something that each time I see it I shudder. Designing something to look like a person is something that will never sit right with me.

🔥- I am prefectly fine with the casting of Vivi and Cobra in season 2 of the live action. I have seen a disgusting amount of hate directed at the actress and actor. Do I wish I could see a Arab actor play, due to Arab actors and actresses being rather rare? Yes. But ALABASTA IS A FICTIONAL COUNTRY. It takes heavy influences from Egypt, yes but it also takes influences from other cultures including India (looking at those dancer outfits most of all, that was NOT a thing in Egypt, it looks more like outfits I have seen from traditional India's dancers). More than that, Oda has final say in the casting. HE GAVE THESE TWO THE GREENLIGHT.

🔥- Can we please stop infantalizing the women in One Piece? I have seen people refer to Perona as a minor when she was 23 when we first meet her, and I have seen similar in regards to Nami who was 18. These women can be girly and feminine without being referred to as kids. Let adult women be childish, especially ones who were obviously spoiled like Perona was.

As much as the dub/kids wants you to forget the main yugioh cast are Japanese, they still fucking are. Tired of seeing people americanize or westernize them without even acknowledging the original source is Japanese. The main casnt wouldn't celebrate Christmas like we do in the west, it's more of a couples holiday in Japan and is celebrated Christmas eve and almost no one gets off work that day since New Years is their big break of like, 1 week. Majority of Japanese children do not grow up decorating Christmas trees or believing in Santa ffs im tired ok
