kinda annoyed that haitian people in a videogame (cyberpunk 2077) are involved in voodoo yet again.

so far, RDR2 is the only game I've ever played that didn't have a stereotypical depiction of haitians.

it's like if you want to tell me there is a Haitian gang that wants to upload their consciousness into like the digital space cool, as humans we tend to self-segregate to an extent that's fine but then:

No one:

CDPR: The Haitians sure love voodoo

Ugh, seeing Bloodlines and Cyberpunk gameplay look so rough around the edges on top of CDPR's apparent transphobia popping back up is massively disappointing.

How were the segments last night? Anything aside from staff check in worth watching?

Is......is Cyberpunk going to be terrible?

Terrible at racial representation and depictions of LGBTQ folks? Almost certainly, at this point. And if that side of it is bad, people will be a lot less willing to forgive annoying parts of the actual gameplay. I can definitely see it having a fairly negative reception, at least around here.

The last three segments were all great.

Thanks!

Just started watching the Pat GIll/Gita Jackson segment. Its really good! Though I for one am happy Sonic is legally required to wear shoes at all times.

Like, they're obviously very talented game developers, but they're so fucking tone-deaf when it comes to cultural and social issues. And by now they should know it's a blind spot for them and perhaps bring in outside voices and inputs to help with the writing and the worlduilding. But that's not even getting into the issue of their crunch and working conditions. Ugh.

Cyberpunk is giving me vibes of Kingdom Come, a game I'll eventually buy and play and enjoy but then feel really shitty and guilty about morally.

FWIW the most recent overwatch character is haitian and he is delightful


not to say overwatch doesn't have issues with representation but it feels like they did an alright job here

I mean if you don't want to feel shitty about it, donate the equal or more, value of the game purchased to like the Trevor Project or another good charity.

Though when you think about it Neuromancer literally had space rastafarians.

So you know.

In keeping with some of the genre's more shitty parts.

Funny (or mroe sad, really) thing is, in the reference material (tabletop game) the Voodoo Boys are mainly white dudes trying to be edgy with feathers and shit.

cyberpunk 2077's rpg stuff is gonna be great (this is cd projekt red we're talking about after all). idk about everything else though (such as combat, stealth, driving, if NPC A.I. interaction is gonna on the level of RDR2 or GTA). also it's approach to social or political issues might suck.

Been going through bluray.com looking at what films released recently so I could make a list for next month and I came across this film...

I do not remember the last time I laughed this hard at a film's poster and title.

Still never made my way through all of 2018's nite shows. They are hard to listen to as podcasts cause you put it down mid-segment by the time you come back you forget who you're listening to and there's no faces to match to a voice.

It would be a shitton of podcasts to download but I wouldn't mind if they put them up segmented like they do the videos on the site. Or maybe just timestamps in the descriptions of the pods of what guests are on during each segment

It came out in 2012 lol
i was like "no no no that cant be right, it came out in 2010 or 2011" but i looked it up and damn. I know i got mine in the leadup to tearaway which wouldve been late 2012-late 2013 and shortly after i was with a friend trying to buy one for them but no one was carrying it until we wound up finding the one gamestop in atlanta selling a refurbished one

i dont think i realized just how fast that thing sank lmao

Hi, I'm sorry, I tried looking through the last two pages to find the answer to this question and I couldn't, although I'm sure it's been talked about: are we getting the night shows as podcasts this year?

Loving the GB @ Nite stuff so far. I could listen to that guy talk about designing the Elite Controller 2 forever.

Do most people watch the segments or the straight through videos?
