    Chess 2: The Sequel

    Just released on Steam, game is blasphemous as hell, in a good way It's got 6 factions, a weird but interesting dueling mechanic, and a suuuuuper good new win condition (if your King passes the middle of the board, you win. Makes games go way faster, endgames have way more material on the...

    who has been 'demanding' anything? if someone forces a designer to make a change against their will, then yeah, that's generally pretty fucking bad i'll give you that. that's not even remotely what the situation is, though, hahaha

    Oh sure, but when is that ever the only motivation? Changing the gender of the protagonist is a meaningful artistic change with real consequences on how people receive the character; it can never really be some isolated political thing, can it? Ultimately, it's always going to be informed by...

    Feminists aren't making arguments in lieu of making games, they're doing it in addition to making games. Which I think is how it should be! I agree that marginalized groups should make more games, but you seem to be adding this additional "also stop complaining about existing things"...

    she got hired by the company making one of the most anticipated indie games ever. she quite possibly has the ability to influence the project in some way, which is exactly why people were and are angry to begin with. to suggest that that doesn't have the potential to affect 'meaningful...

    yeah it's great for people to contribute their own content, that should definitely happen. in fact, it's that kind of forward-thinking that probably motivated the MN9 community manager to do the things she did, wouldn't you say

    yeah that's feminism dude. that's like the very definition of a feminist agenda it's not important what you think, it's a deeply upsetting term to marginalized groups i really am not sure how to even express just how much you should stop using that term great, so am i. i choose to point out...

    you're saying that we don't need feminism in the gaming community because the gaming community will find its way, 'just like other art forms have.' what i'm saying is, other art forms haven't found their way. they're probably doing better than games are, but to suggest that they just naturally...

    this problem doesn't just exist in the nascent gaming industry, it exists across art forms. films have this issue, television has this issue, novels have this issue. you're right. that's because many of the people who write cool female characters are, in fact, the people doing the poking to...

    there is a reason that the public narrative surrounding video game culture is maturing. the reason is that there are activist groups "forcing their ideologies" on people. who else do you think is responsible for that, lol (of course by "forcing their ideologies i mean "expressing their...

    Mighty No. 9

    No, see, it actually is a big deal, which is what i'm saying lol. I'm saying it's very much worth lots of pages of discussion, because people keep not getting it. it's not like it's some resolved thing. as you can see:

    yeah it's a misunderstanding. a consistent, harmful one that needs to end
  16. Kristoph

    Mighty No. 9

    Yeah, but this isn't about that. Maybe that's really what it's about for you, but I think as a member of the Skullgirls community you might have a little more tolerance for a community manager who doesn't always get things right. But of course we know the reality, which is that the vast...

    Not really? The idea that the 'gaming community' shouldn't want feminism is just sort of an embarrassing, laughable thing, i think.

    Possible new IPS

    "unbalanced damage between different characters" i've always found it weird when people complain about this in skullgirls. parasoul players complained about it in SDE when she had somewhat less damage output than the rest of the cast and it made no sense to me then either. sounds like...
