I got really good news today that I can't really go into, but I might be able to do a lot of things I've been planning finally. Going back to school was at the top of that list.

Give them the left side of the controller, while you take the right.

I don't think Disco Elysium is particularly liberal. The picture it paints of its world is deeply Marxist insofar as it's very informed by historical materialism. A huge part of the game's writing and plot is explicitly concerned with how inequalities in material conditions, racism, bigotry, etc. dictate individuals' ideologies, and with how social and cultural situations are the product of conflicts between groups informed by different ideologies.
I think the game treats racism with nuance without engaging in both-sides-ism: It explicitly makes racism out to be a condemnable, ugly worldview, but also takes the effects of racism seriously, and treats it (correctly) as a major motivating force in how many people conceive of the world. I wish more games did that, and it's incredibly frustrating to me that people at GB would confuse the presence of racism for the fulfillment of some "racist fantasy"—not least because Disco Elysium does not equivocate about the implicit and explicit violences that racism represents and produces. I'm disappointed, in general, with how many putatively-lefty games writers seem to decry any treatment of racism in games that's more complex than "racism is bad".
I just had essential cargo get destroyed and it game overed me after walking like 2000 meters toward my destination.
My brain is mush. This thing might not be for me
probably not. doesnt seem very fun. at least you know now.I just had essential cargo get destroyed and it game overed me after walking like 2000 meters toward my destination.

Oh you can't just... fail missions? The survival-postman stuff feels so at odds with everything else in the game.I just had essential cargo get destroyed and it game overed me after walking like 2000 meters toward my destination.

Can I play Disco Elysium without my own gaming pc with GeForceExperienceThey phased it out because they weren't able to figure out power and battery management at the time. Too much heat. Then they off-loaded those chips to Nintendo for the switch.
If you load custom firmware on the switch you can get Nvidia's GameStream app and use it to stream games from GeForceExperience to your switch.
i mean it is a series that started with "gotta fuck em all" collectible cards of the women you bang in the first game so it's not on the best footing with thatI remember Abby saying she bounced off the Witcher because it "starts with a camera up a woman's ass" even though the first scene is with naked Gerald in the tub
At this point, its really just a waste of time to point out all the things she doesnt like because of some made up reason that isn't real. It's at the point of just letting Dan go for worshiping Vince and WWE, and Jeff for only liking fps and old games. It's just not worth discussing anymore.I remember Abby saying she bounced off the Witcher because it "starts with a camera up a woman's ass" even though the first scene is with naked Gerald in the tub
The whole thing seems like a critical analysis straight out of 2014 or something, it's just so shocking shallow. Critical theory for games from a left-wing perspective has come so far, and developed such nuance since 5 years ago. (Leftist politics in general has evolved so much since then. Its become a lot less stuck-up in the reality of Trump being President, frankly.)

What is the wooden spoon that will prevent this from happening? An Endurance Run?if you want a meta title for the next thread you can use giantbomb ot 18: barely suppressed resentment constantly boiling over
I think right after that is a fully naked Yennefer lounging with her back to the camera, which is probably what Abby is referring to.I remember Abby saying she bounced off the Witcher because it "starts with a camera up a woman's ass" even though the first scene is with naked Gerald in the tub
If 2019 leftism is going to depend on Chapo Trap House and other purveoys of "dirtbag leftism" who are less "stuck up" (ie. OK with racism and sexism because they've gotten annoyed by somebody 'woke') think being best buddies with Cumtown and such, nah, I'm good with lots of people not being OK with it.

You seem very into vore today
To be fair, America was a name first before it was a country.
who the fuck cares enough to moderate what other people say out loud about a videogame fuck
Yah this.I think right after that is a fully naked Yennefer lounging with her back to the camera, which is probably what Abby is referring to.
I mean this is a much deeper conversation than a Giant Bomb community thread does justice but I'll just say I think the fact that hard-left politics has gained small footholds in places and has more of a noticeable voice in the political conversation is in large part because it became more self-secure, nuanced, and capable of laughing at itself instead of treating individual instances of problematic behavior as contagious diseases. Chapo (which has many problems - and is also listened to a liked by multiple members of GB and Waypoint ftr) is popular because they decided to actually be funny instead of be scolds.
As far as Abby goes, she's often justified in what she calls problematic, (the Witcher for instance is wildly sexist) my issues with her mostly stem from the fact that her capability in analyzing something doesn't go beyond being able to assign the label.
