A useful reminder that even people who are responsible for something brilliant can have some really terrible opinions! π
FΓ€nde ich spannend! π
Like I said, it might have something to do with the Hibakusha having been disregarded (or outright discriminated against) for so long?! Maybe even such a small act of recognition and visibility might be an attempt at finally acknowledging the group? Just what I would read into it, though.
Haha, I wish I could have been there! π€£
On a semi-related note, just finished REANIMAL last week, and itβs actually the second game I have played where I would come to the exact same verdict!
Doppelt irre, weil es sich auch von der anderen Seite aus mega wagemutig anfΓΌhlte, auf eine Anzeige zu reagieren oder womΓΆglich *schluck* irgendwo anzurufenβ¦ π
Probably has something to do with the fact that survivors of atomic bombs are an actual, long disregarded, minority group in Japan, I suppose?!
To be fair: Wenn es gut gemacht ist, ist jede Textmenge die richtige, aber was mir so derbe auf den Keks geht, ist dass wir wirklich gar nicht mehr auf die Intention der Entwickler*innen vertrauen, sondern deren Arbeit irgendwie auf Teufel komm raus mit zusΓ€tzlichem βContentβ aufblΓ€hen wollen π©
Am liebsten aus dem Leben der βWelcome to Corneria!β-NPCs am Ortseingang β aus deren Leben wollten wir schon immer SEHR viel mehr hΓΆren!
Zu wenig NPC-Dialog β auf jeden Fall eines der groΓen ungelΓΆsten Probleme des Mediums Videospielβ¦
A quick and dirty rule of thumb would be that books by Dan Abnett and Aaron Dembski-Bowden (among others) ALWAYS have the human viewpoint characters.
Happy birthday! π
Cor blimey! π

War, ehrlich gesagt, auch meine erste Assoziation β und allein, dass man diese DeutungsmΓΆglichkeit billigend in Kauf nimmt, ist schon fΓΌrchterlich genug. Und das ist noch die freundlichste Auslegungβ¦ π€’
Hast Du mal die Kindervariante von Aloy aus Horizon Zero Dawn gesehen? Da beginnt der wahre Horrorβ¦ π
That film already kind of exists, and itβs called βWizardsβ π€£
If this goes on, theyβll just re-iterate the entire history of modern medicine from first principles β but at what cost? π
Bei βUffbasse, Helga!β wΓ€re ich vor Lachen fast vom Stuhl gefallen! π€£
Aber mal im Ernst: Wenn Du ein RPG sehen willst, dass einerseits tatsΓ€chlich eine Inspiration fΓΌr Clair Obscur war & andererseits eine maximal faszinierend-weirde Perspektive auf europΓ€ische (auch deutsche!) Kultur & Literatur ca. WWI bietet, guckβ Dir mal Shadow Hearts:Covenant an!
βFΓΌr die, wo hinnerherkumma!β

Game 4/26: REANIMAL
I'm a big fan of @tarsierstudios.bsky.social's Little Nightmares I & II, and while REANIMAL does tread some of the same ground, I think the biggest compliment I can give is that nothing could possibly prepare your for its last 10 minutes. Highly uncomfortable & very compelling!
I just unironically started a work e-mail with the words "Dear Ester", and that gave me a pleasant shiver of nostalgia because of...reasons (IYKYK) π

I hate it when devs feel completely boxed-in by audience expectations for a series, even when one of the main parts of the series is that each part is different from the others to some degree. Iβd rather see the devs make the game they *want* to make (and tell the story they *want* to tell).

And he should be, because heβs simply delightful! ππ

Iβm by no means an expert on UK politics, but since weβre seeing this all over Europe, and the world, really, itβs racists being racist & divise, waging a culture war, while calling the other side racist & divisive and accuse them of waging a culture war. Seems to be the new conservative playbook π€’
