“Why wear armor if you don’t plan on getting hit at all?” “It is a running tradition of Soulsborne games that the naked players are the most powerful beings in the game,” he replies. “I would like to express my apology to those I have failed.”īut, why what is most compelling to me is his explanation for the signature attire he wears while doing this amazing service: “Sometimes the lag between the host and myself is too much so I get killed instantly sometimes, or miss the crucial dodge timing on Malenia’s waterfowl dance,” he says. So yeah, if you’ve seen fan art or an image of this dual wielding hero - that’s why, that and his displaying the opposite of the notorious “git gud” mentality.
“Let Me Solo Her” is a highly skilled player who volunteers to carry players with one of the hardest boss fights in Elden Ring (The latest game from FromSoft, creators of Dark Souls and Bloodborne) through the summon system. We’ve featured Ayumi of X-Blade before… but I wanted to compare the protagonist to a recent hero of the video game world.
Activision’s “Diversity Tool” Is F*cking Awful - The Jimquisition (video).Activision Blizzard’s New Diversity Game Tool Comes Across Terribly & Activision Blizzard’s Diversity Tool Has A Long, Even More Embarrassing History - Kotaku.Activision Blizzard Discusses Tool to Calculate Diversity in Video Game Characters, May Also Be Investing in Lab Coats - The Mary Sue.Activision Inexplicably Introduces Tool to Rate Character Diversity Metrics - FanByte.If we could put a number on how out of touch this is, ActiBlizz PR would score off their little dystopian charts!īut hey, it’s not like we’ve been pointing out for years that Blizz seems to do diversity by begrudgingly ticking off boxes on a list of superficial character features ( and only after ticking some boxes multiple times), right? Moreover, despite now edited-out claims in the official announcement about the diversity tool, Overwatch 2 developers deny using it or even knowing about it prior to the media buzz. Also with obligatory mentions of how this does the opposite of improving the company’s image in the light of their bigoted, toxic work culture and corrupt business practices. Thankfully, most of the fandom and media seems to react to this idea with well-deserved bewilderment and mockery (like comparisons to phrenology, a racist pseudoscience). If you don’t see what’s wrong with that picture, please stop to ask youself how you’d represent something like ethnicity or gender on a numeric scale. Just another, sadly unsurprising step in Blizzard’s long, long journey of promising a more diverse respesentation followed by more sexism and tokenism every time.
So I suppose you’re dying to know how she looked in the censored-for-the-children wester version right? There’s a lot of things you’d have to change right, I mean if you’re going to limit guns to being imaginary then you’d surely have to redo the whole design…Īctvision Blizzard decides to “improve” diversity in their games by quantifying things like ethnicity, culture and sexual orientation. It was pretty ridiculous, but at least it wasn’t imaginary guns ridiculous. The cards themselves also had a weird history of censorship with there being a general trend to just paint bodysuits onto them for non-Japanese releases (a strategy later controversially adopted in the Divinity games. Now the Yugioh property has an interesting and eccentric history in itself, but it’s worth remembering that this is generally understood to be a show for children… to the extent they awkwardly airbrushed out guns in one scene in a… not particularly effective manner. Sadly, there is no way way to make such a design that would not be essentially indistinguishable from many sincere creations… such as this Harpie from the Yugioh cartoon. Occasionally we get people messaging with the idea to try to ironically design bikini armor badly, so badly it will showcase the overall absurdity etc.
