It's not illegal, SF public schools track it for 9th grade. They're currently discussing adding it back as an 8th grade option. This is a nonbinding resolution to signal support for it and get the school board to move their butts.

I mean there has to be a line drawn somewhere, otherwise you don't have any story at all. You just have a sandbox. Which is fine if you like sandboxes, but the appeal of something more structured is reactivity.

You can go into a sandbox and blow up an enemy fortress. But then it's on you to decide how the enemies respond. Do they surrender? Do they retreat? Did ignoring them doom a local village to oppression under them?

If you have to make up the consequences to your own actions you aren't really playing a game, but doing a creative writing exercise. >_>

this doesn't even make sense as a criticism lol. "they may or may not want to be involved in"? If you don't want to be involved in the plot then why are you playing the game? Why are you going to buy a game about destroying magic nazis and then criticize it for railroading you into fighting magic nazis instead of fucking off to some podunk to be a cobbler? >_> It seems like you're looking for life sims rather than anything actually story-based. <_<

Even in a pen-and-paper setting the worldbuilding is going to be limited to what your game master can think up. If you're dead set on being a black smith and not giving a shit about fighting Necromancer Nate the Undead Lord, but your game master has fuck all ideas on how to run a campaign about smithing, you're going to have awkward sessions >_>

There is a difference between role playing, and choose your own adventure.

Role playing you often make a character or role and play out the story your dungeon master planned out.

With chose your own adventure you decide the path you take through the planned out story.

They often mix together, but can be separate things. Like role playing in the bed room you may dress as a French maid, but you usually just end up having sex, not cleaning.

I could be mistaken obviously, and if so I apologize.

Well, if anyone wants to give intelligent responses about what does and does not constitute an RPG

That is not necessarily true. Also, at the very least you can heavily customize your character

This New Vegas nerd is mad so good job getting some Todd Howard slop over actual Fallout I guess?

I think if they expanded on the ADB system(ff12), that could have been the best

This "debate" is incredibly dumb since it's all subjective.

I don't mind a little charring... that's part of the flavor of the meat and preparation.
I find uncooked and under-cooked meat gross and in taste and texture...

Some people feel the exact opposite and we are both right.

And what comes out when you're frying it?

Yep, bloody meat is disgusting, :/

They are also grooming dogs, those monsters.

Hikikomori is the more accurate weeb term.

Where did I said I needed any of those things.

I don't give a shit what someone buys or doesn't buy. I'm responding to what people say on a message board.

Would it make sense for me to only play games that Sweet Baby make because I'm assuming their contributions make game better?

I never said it was.

I think they have every right to exist and do their work, as long as they do so ethically.

But, going forward, I would much prefer to avoid giving any of my money to games that hired them to consult.

Can you think of a better way of attempting to get rid of Sweetbaby than to make a very public boycott?

Or

or

You can not be a bigot and still not like SweetBaby

just a thought

This is awful conflation.

That's a thread from the group. They themselves are coming down on the sporadic bigoted posts.

It's not that thinly veiled, really. The pushback is largely against diversity spreadsheets and quota checklists that don't actually make the game any better. It's push back against a culture that constantly puts out articles about how "this game is awesome but I have to give it a bad review because it has too many white people in it"

it's gamergate lol

I would like to ask you to explain how the page owner's not-actually-hateful conduct during the interview has anything to do with the company trying to brigade and mass report the list itself

Isn't that Asmongolb guy some kind of right wing lunatic?

Yeah I dont get how a security guard working for Walmart, but not hired by Walmart.
Somehow they contacted the owners of the strip mall and had him banned.
not Walmart himself, but a random security guard working for a business.
Doesnt make sense

Okay, but how is that actually relevant to this situation?

Meanwhile, the actual controversy around them pertains to a Steam page
