Anybody playing Forza Horizon 4 on PC? I'm still only about halfway through Horizon 3. Is 4 leaps and bounds better?
Fucking RIP Obsidian.
That makes me sad. They've really been on the fucking down.
Pillars of Eternity really was going to be their magnum opus.
yup

the game's pretty good
"While the game directly addresses I\*\*\*'s gender politics, it is equally informed by my identity as a middle eastern person in modern-day America. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is specifically about I\*\*\* because of American perception of the middle east. To many white Americans, I\*\*\* is just a group of brown boogeymen in the desert. I\*\*\* is universally disavowed by Muslims - they are not a representative depiction of Islam. And yet, Americans tend to use I\*\*\* as the face of Islam and the middle east, and that terrifies me because they literally can't tell us apart and think we deserve to die. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is a satire about this American perception. It's a satire of the dehumanizing, inaccurate, atrocious politics of American perception of middle eastern people. It's a desperate plea that we recognize how harmful that perception is."
Artists statement on The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator
hmm how will the brown men in the middle east treat that developer?
"Female characters in many dating SIMs are built as sexual objects for heterosexual male players. I wanted to contribute a grounded, accurate, female perspective to this genre typically dominated by the male gaze. The protagonist's story arc in the game centers around the questions that I asked myself as a young woman."
> universally disavowed
yeah they're clearly making a great effort to prevent I***
what was that survey, the one where the vast majority of Muslims said they wouldn't report other Muslims they believed to be linked to terrorism?
shes not doing it to prevent I***. Its to protect her people from white males
the "they" in my statement was Muslims as a group
not the author of the game
think it was like 80% of them will not report a family or community member for terrorism and similar crimes
white people are the bigger threat
was last week an article in a local news paper of a ex Muslim girl that did drop her hijab. she had to get a secret address with a new identity from all the real dearth threats several from her own family
But its a choice!
Never played it but they both look younger than the characters
It is because they are using pics from witcher 3. The actresses look closer to their witcher 1 ages
Since it will be different than the books makes sense
I’ve Only ever played Witcher 3 so I dunno
Hahaha I see ciri isn’t of color
Or they are basing it off the only part of witcher 3 they played. The opening.
going to love the drama when the progressive finds out the guy playing Gerald is over 10 years older then the females
'First pathfinder game'
*cries in Pathfinder Adventures*
First one based on the ttrpg. Pathfinder adventures is just the video game version of the card adventure game
