Yeah, can we please just stop talking about him?

Like, especially for things that have absolutely nothing to do with him..

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The best bit of is I don't think he even said anything? He said he didn't play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn't morally do it, that's super dumb but I haven't seen anything he said about the characters and no one in here is talking about it.

I think people have imagined how he probably feels and now we have to hear about that too!

For future reference, whenever you show a graphic of a globe, please rotate the globe such that North America is facing the viewer. This is considered good etiquette. Thanks

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know it's not relevant here, but since we're talking globe etiquette: if your graphic of a globe shows New Zealand, be sure to shop it out to not reveal its location. At least cover it with a spoiler tag.

Damn Elon is the very fucking last thing I'd think of when I consider video game reviews. What's Bill Gate's opinion?

GTA made a name for itself by scaring parents for being violent and edgy. They do the same thing now, except it's far more terrifying to just scare fragile white losers.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (5 children)

At least Bill Gates was connected to Xbox, or something.

Righties 4ish years ago: “Those cuckwokes in the land Downunder are pulling GTA V from shelves over violence, what a bunch of snowflakes. 😂😂”

Righties today: “um, could you stop doing violence in the M rated video game? My Hypothetical children are getting influenced. 🤓🤓”

The only thing consistent on that side of the fence is their inconsistency.

I like how he's turning extwitter into 4chan. Advertisers hate it though, but advertising only accounts for 90% of their revenue, nbd

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 14 points 11 months ago

I don't remember hearing what Jack Dorsey thought of anything.

Musk has literally paid 30 billion to have his own private megaphone on the internet.

[–] vivadanang@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's ok, Muskoid is going to sue the ADL and Media Matters, and based on his extremely flawed ideas regarding Freedom Of Speech, he probably believes he can win lol.

he's such a fucking clown

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (26 children)

His claim for suing Media Matters is that ads don't always appear next to Neo-Nazis, therefore they had to hit refresh until one did.

Which... they never said otherwise? And that doesn't really change things?

I hope the writers in charge of the radio station dialog are. This is great fodder.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I can definitely see them including a Musk-like character.

Full Lethal Weapon 2 accent, over compensating hair, quests to test his wacky inventions, crushed in a quest where you help him move server racks.

Then Rockstar and Take-Two get their Twitter accounts locked under some bullshit about "incitement of violence" against him and his family.

A jackass not being a fan of something is, to me, a pretty good advertisement for that thing.

It’s like a loud, obnoxious racist complaining about a nearby bar. “They don’t believe in freedom! They asked my friends and I to leave just for telling a few jokes!”

Oh, they don’t put up with bigots and aren’t afraid to kick them out? Maybe I should start hanging out there!

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 31 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Wait do people not like the new GTA lady?

I remember a time when we all liked bobs and vagene.

[–] SpookyUnderwear@eviltoast.org 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I used to. I still do, but I used to too.

A very tiny loud minority on the Internet.

[–] HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

Those people confuse me. GTA6 protag is realistic but still at model level of conventional beauty.

It's not like Sarah Rider (Mass Effect Andromeda) or Jesse Faden (Control), who aren't as "conventionally" attractive. Although after writing that, Jesse is super hot, and I'm not sure if I've been gaslit by the internet into thinking she's not "conventionally" attractive.

Being charitable and taking these people at their word, I feel like with the more divisive examples it's a problem with modern lighting being softer and more dynamic? Leading to more "bad" angles and softer looking features. Most professional photoshoots have very contrasty and deliberate lighting, so maybe they're too used to that?

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Jesse Faden is modeled after a soap-opera actress lol, are people really saying she's not attractive?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Jesse Faden not conventially attractive? Wow, the internet is a wild place

It’s not even that the protagonist is a woman, the Boer said that he didn't want to play GTA V because he just couldn’t kill police officers

He’s a fuckin’ virtue-signaling wiener who needs to be given a swirly; I doubt it’s even true but if it were, he’d use the same reason not to play any of the Wolfenstein games

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (10 children)

Hell, she's actually pretty cute. I'll take her over the typical 2020s female character design style.

She's honestly fucking fine.

This picture is wrong. Whole world is shaped like Murica . nothing else is known to man or so they say.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Man, someone needs to make a filter that checks images.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, why is Hawaii no longer in the after?
