Wow, this is absolutely wild. From launch to delisting in two weeks. Yeah, there's a good chance that this is temporary while they pivot to a free-to-play model, but holy crap. Guess the PS5 player count must not be substantially higher than the abysmal Steam player count.
Yeah, hopefully the inclusiveness trend continues.
Then we'd be going back to having the vast majority of games having a cis male protagonist. No thanks. I don't mind playing as them from time to time, but I want a choice, especially if the main character is one of those blank slate types.
I'm headed back into the office today after having had COVID last week. Yaaaaaaaay
For me, anyway, they/them is in its own category, where they aren't my pronouns, but I have no issue with someone using them for me. I wouldn't get upset unless someone is blatantly trying to use it to misgender me for whatever reason. In your situation, if it makes you feel more comfy to use gender neutral pronouns for me, I'm fine with it.
Interesting idea, but I don't think that'd work for me. I only have one set of pronouns (she/her), anything else feels like a misgender to me.
Yikes. Well, at least we have something easy to point to when we're asked why we're defederated from lemmy.world.
I agree completely. Our collective minds in the U.S. have been warped by decades(if not centuries) of propaganda by the rich and powerful. Things aren't exactly going to change overnight. Change needs to come from the bottom up, and that's not going to happen until we start working together to build a culture of compassion.
I'm doing a replay of Dragon Age Origins. Slogging my way through my least favorite part of the game(the Deep Roads) right now. I'm not that good at the game, so for the harder encounters, I've cheesed them by having one member of my party run forward to aggro one group, then run back to where the rest are in order to deal with them one group at a time. If I let my party fight normally, they accidentally aggro multiple groups and they get overwhelmed. That plus saving after every difficult encounter is helping me get through it.
My warden is an elven mage; she's mostly built for casting ice magic and healing. I usually use Alistair as a tank, Zevran as a dual wielding damage dealer and Leliana as an archer/support unit.
Just so you know, you're commenting in a Beehaw community, and we expect that people be(e) nice here. Being gatekeepy isn't nice.
Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first game I ever played, waaaay back in the early 90s. That hooked me into gaming for life, and every few years, I do a no warp playthrough of the game that started it all for me.
Then, a few years later, I tried Super Mario 64 in a Toys R Us. It blew my mind and I absolutely had to have an N64.
I despise Nintendo's business practices, but there's no doubt they had a formative influence on my childhood.
oof. Yeah, they did the right thing pulling the plug on this for now. You'd probably spend more time waiting for a match to queue up than actually playing the game.
