Replaying Megaman Battle Network 1 and forgot how dark the BN setting actually is. Within two bosses, there's been children learning how to fight viruses and net criminals as a regular class, a child standing 3 ft from an oven while connected via GBA Cable, the man behind said oven fire threatening to kill said child (he's 11), a brainwashing program unleashed in the protagonist's school, and implications that it's led students at other schools- possibly as young as first grade- into committing acts of destruction. All while 80% of NPCs live in fear of the WWW's next move.

This is ignoring the twist that MegaMan.EXE is actually Lan's twin brother uploaded to digital space. He is around Lan's age (so also 11) and has been short-circuited to the point of paralysis twice (so far). Also, due to being formerly human, he has unique abilities that other Navis don't. At this point, Lan's friends have two pure support Navis and Gutsman. Who exploded within three seconds of attempting to delete the aforementioned brainwashing program. MegaMan's overall strength plus his unique powers mean it only makes sense he'll be called upon to save the world six times in a row.

So these two eleven-year-old children have to do almost everything themselves (so far) and are also most definitely on the WWW's shit list by now. Oh, yeah, did I mention this is game one of six? Please get these two some therapy.

we need 15-20 episode seasons again these limited series have the worst pacing in the world and none of the character decisions hold any weight

Limbus Company fans are so special!

Like. Wow! No other fanbase is so quick to shut down any discussion or critique about how patriarchy and misogyny affects company culture in both South Korea and also a worldwide scale! God forbid we bring up past issues and how they were handled poorly, and how Kim Ji Hoon is a flawed man who can't help but play into such misogyny sometimes due to some downright spineless PR!

So, Arknights and Limbus confirmed a collab.

[that-spider-witch]

I greatly enjoyed the Arknights x Destiny collab, I hope the Limbus collab is just like it.

“It’s ya boy Guzma” is probably the smoothest translation of ore-sama I’ve ever seen (makes eyes at Hetalia and TTGL) but it’s also unfortunately hilarious wwwww

Arknights had two collabs with Ubisoft, so this isn't new. Shitty companies are everywhere and are behind pretty much every piece of media nowadays, so at this point I just can't bring myself to care that much and I just avoid spending money on anything even if I like the fictional story of the product the shitty company is making…

Does that make me an "ethical gacha gamer"? If so, sure, whatever, I don't care.

(Also, Arknights stopped being an "ethical" game to play the moment they became part of the "let's name these completely made-up deer skull monsters after an indigenous myth and completely misrepresent and bastardize that myth's meaning and cultural context in the process" club. Like seriously, stop calling humanoid deer monsters that. And stop infantilizing indigenous people while you are at it too.)

limbus x arknights coming and the entire community of these basement dwellers on a 50 | 50 split between being excited for these slops or fucking waking their internal "ethical gooner" sign while the limbustards go pull out tsunul's video as their fucking bible.

huge day for the Ethical Gacha Gamers and their gambling games that exploit female employees (I’m sure that’s just a metacommentary on capitalism, limbus company is so sophisticated in its storytelling) and slot machines with ethnic slurs & more (but who cares cuz it’s not Genshin right?). How about linking that fucking video again? I want to play my game guilt free! These aren’t like other gachas! How about linking that same fucking video again? “Glory to project moon!” Where would they be without it LOL

REBLOG IF YOU THINK AROACE / aro/ ace PEOPLE ARE A VALID PART OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY , LIKE IF YOU DON’T

I'd care if the person I reblogged this from committed suicide.

Reblog this from anybody. literally. ANYBODY. even if you dont like them or even know them that well. YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE.

"don't want the wokies entering their gacha game" has to be one of the most hilarious sentences I have ever read because which of the two gachas were they even talking about, because last time I checked both of those games already had a lot of what such people would call "wokies" playing them. Yes, even Limbus, despite all the bullshit related to Project Moon and its CEO.

The mass of people being extremely upset over Limbus collabbing with Arknights because of that one incident as if it's some unacceptable line for Arknights to cross is really funny.

Didn't see any of y'all when Arknights had 2 collabs with Ubisoft, famed sexual harassment studio which got sued over it so bad it's execs got detained. Hate to break it to y'all but that's way way worse than what happened with Project Moon.

veilguard is maddeningly racist and we have got to have this conversation outside of "fantasy racism" terms. we are not talking about fantasy elves. it is anti-indigenous racism, the elves are intentionally indigenous coded as previously stated by Gaider (and it honestly doesn't matter if it's been "confirmed," it is obviously true, no matter what Weekes tries to argue now) and insinuating that your indigenous coded characters 1. are deserving of their oppression, 2. are in any way responsible for it, 3. should feel guilty about it, 4. are foolish and dangerous for wanting to reconnect with and preserve their history, and 5. are "stuck in the past" and "too traditional," (why don't they just assimilate already?) are all insidious, racist ideas that this game perpetuates. and there is very little pushback from the narrative that the player can engage in, which is what a lot of the criticism is discussing. we're not talking about "fantasy racism" or fantasy slurs, we are talking about the real world racism this game is perpetuating.

I mean... In my eyes, they are both bad. Period. But Ubisoft is a much bigger company and their crimes are more widely known, while Project Moon is literally just a small team of people with a loyal fanbase that's constantly white-knighting them.

Also from what I understand about it, what happened with Project Moon wasn't just that one incident and that was it, it is part of a whole systemic issue in the Korean gaming industry that Project Moon's CEO has deliberately chosen to either ignore or even enable himself time and time again.

At this point, it's just shitty companies being shitty, it is just something you have to live with even if you like their products. The gaming industry in particular as a whole is so full of shit. Just pirate what you can at this point, just saying. Or in this case, just don't spend money on it.

And I'm gonna be honest here: I truly believe you should never be spending any real money whatsoever on any gacha game anyway, no matter how good of a game it might be. Just... Don't.
