UnfairRepresent 06/13/19 10:33:38 PM #1:	So you agree that having sex would be painful if you were that heavily injured, but you still call it 'taking advantage'? I thought it was fairly clear that Janine was the instigator. She's on top, look. I considered making it seem closer to a sexual assault than anything consensual but that weirded me out even more. Fact is, this is me trying to do something disturbing without realising that I'm the only one it disturbs. I've come to develop a weird aversion to sex. I've never been really sold on it. It's possible I have some hangups from a few things from my past, but these days I'm pretty much celibate (and it's not for want of female (or even male) attention, thank you very much, I mean, I own a bar, for christ's sake). I don't think it's immoral, or anything. I just find it a bit gross. This may be linked to the fact that I hate kids and the thought of having any of my own makes me want to stick a gun in my mouth. The sex scene was intended to be grotesque, not in any way titillating. It's about characters succumbing to something animalistic as they lose their grip on reality. It's an expression of Janine's descent into madness (consider how she's behaving immediately afterwards), and another torture device to pile onto Theo. In case it's not been obvious enough so far, the theme of 6 Days is the Blessed Agonies, and how a comparatively short period of experiencing them is enough to turn Theo, the ultimate everyman, into something to Chzo's liking. And the sex thing is part of it. It's just plain physically painful but he's doing it because it's what Janine wants, and she's completely and utterly doomed. But I understand that most people don't see sex the same way I do, so the intention might have been lost. I defend the concept, but not so much the execution. Doing it again, I probably would make Janine overtly rape him. At least that's got the shock value. And lose the text. Or at least change it to something like "AAAAAAAAAA FUCKING HELL GET OFF AAAAAAAA" https://imgur.com/WFs6aB8 80/80 Context is he made a video game where an incredibly injured man with a broken neck had sex with a chick and ~~then she died instantly afterwards.~~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXWPLXYVDDw" data-time="&start=834 He got a lot of flack and confusion for the scene and this was his explanation. --- ^ Hey now that's completely woke! https://imgtc.com/i/bHqCLJF.png https://i.imgtc.com/YnvkpvU.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:923281290] in Zero Puntu...

Like if I were to review a sports game and I didn't like sports games, but others did, I would explain that I don't like sports games and why the game isn't for me and why it doesn't have value to someone who doesn't like sports games.

Guide 06/15/19 3:51:03 AM #33:	Milkman5 posted... Guide posted... Your point is you get mad at framing. It's a very stale old point. what makes a reviewer or a review good? A good reviewer is able to concisely communicate the highlights and drawbacks of a game, drawing from an established perspective. You use a reviewer for information about a game, as well as a measuring tool of sorts, with which you compare and contrast your interests. For example, Yahtzee dislikes fighting games from a competitive aspect, but can still tell me about the features of a fighting game aside from that. So his input on character balance would be meaningless, but if the menus are glitchy shit, that's something that would inform my purchase. Also, please reply to, or at least read, UR's post above. --- [break the meta] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU <cite>Guide posted [p:923339460] in Zero Puntu...

For example, Arin Hanson hates story and cutscenes in video games and speaks for everyone when he says how bad they are and how story is bad game design when in reality, most people LIKE story and cutscenes and games that have story are catering to their fans and the market. It's like arguing Phoenix Wright has bad game design because you don't like to read. It's funny that you mention Phoenix Wright as your example because he just finished the first two chapters on Game Grumps and they both loved it. Arin has played them before back when they first came out and upon seeing the title card for the 3rd episode he said "but this is the best one!" and explained the concept of the chapter to Danny. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconigliaro posted [p:923342106] in Zero Puntu...
