Not
Reality check time, Tesla is actually quite shitty and is even worse than Chinese brand electric vehicles. And that’s before mentioning the absolutely horrendous post sale service.
I guess the cognitive dissonance lies elsewhere 🤔

Good to know that when squeezed you’re analogous to Moscow Mitch.
So you can’t then, and, are full of shit. How am I not surprised.
Lol. Merica, fuck yeah!
Can you distill that to concrete sentences with citations.
Where and when he doesn’t know what he talks about. Given his works are open access it should be easy for you to elaborate on that. I look forward to your rebuttal.
Pearls to pigs.
TIL citing Nina Huntemann, a staple in the theme of feminism in games is “do your own research”.
Cool beans. What’s next, you’re going to say that advocating for POC feminism is facebook research right?
You’re so US american it’s not even funny!
You’re welcome to elaborate.
“lowering myself” to debate feminism with someone citing academic research when my only argument is self-serving.
FTFY
You lost me at:
literally a baby’s first feminist analysis video series???
The field of feminism, particularly in video games, is wide and old. Start with Nina Huntemann.
Grifters gonna grift and cash in on other’s work and victim points.
Also, when the average US american tells you they’re italian or Irish c’ause peepaw was Italian/Irish I’m skeptical. Also your post history is full of americanisms.
Go read some research and then come back to lecture me about feminism.
You’re most likely not European.
The fact you don’t put Anita and Elon in the same bag, US grifters, tells me all I need to know. Anita is a blundering idiot that grifted a bunch of parasites into a market that should have never existed. Instead of using Alanah Pearce (Lawd has she been harassed) Lucy James and the like, that actually work in the field and know the ACTUAL problems rather than creating rage bate to cash in on victim points. She and the much maligned sweet baby were consulting on games that were subcontracting slavelike labour in Indonesia and other SE Asian countries during their consulting. Most of the victims at those places were women. Grifters gonna grift! Sarkeesian and her ilk have done nothing for the feminist movement (which I’m a part of), worse, they set us back decades. She left all blue collar women on whom the lion’s share of injustice falls upon, behind. She could have addressed the preponderance of women in QA and community management and how that disproportionately makes them more likely to be laid off. How also in gaming, they make less for the same work. How career progress is usually limited by patriarchal hierarchical organisations in AAA studios. Fuck that noise, feminism is bitching about a bald dude killing some nuns in spandex in a videogame. She ignored the real issues because those were very likely to avoid her getting hired to consult on games as the C types don’t really like left wing talking points flying around the office. Fucking bougie causes.

Thank you for your recognition of my keyboard warriorship service.
US american, right?
Never once claimed to be smart, for someone claiming to be so smart, reading comprehension is not your forte. If minimum A -> B is a pretty easy concept to grasp.
Regarding the purported success of Avowed I just have to sit and wait for the other shoe to drop, so, I’m good. See ya at the next layoff party.
Took you guys over a decade to get here. Thank you for listening to me and mocking me and calling me a ludite because I hated Elon Musk and everything he represented. Also, visit Thunderfoot’s youtube channel, apologise and thank him for his activism.
Let’s put the marketing cope for the absolute flop aside (marketing can get anyone to install a game on gamepass for “free”, we’ve seen with HiFi Rush and Veilguard that mimdgame is complete trash at predicting anything).
I like games, what I don’t like is being advertised a deep RPG from one of the old greats, paying 70€ and refunding because I was not served an RPG but a middle of the road first person fantasy shooter with a static world and a bunch of numbers on weapons, that are even more insignificant that the RPG elements of destiny. Logically that creates antibodies towards what was supposed to be a great game and, conversely, ended up as a mindless shooter that would not be out of place among steam greenlight projects.
Avowed is not a good game, it’s a C, painfully mediocre and unimaginative. Coming from Obsidian, with 6y of development and after the ad campaign they did, together with asking for 70€ upront!? Fuck that noise, that is unacceptable. Of course, Microsoft has a great marketing team, so they created a culture war around the game, if you like it, you’re woke, if you don’t, you’re a chud. This poisons the well and destroys the discussion about how one of the dearest RPG developers in the West is now writing characters that sound like they were written by chat GPT. There’s a reason the best RPGs of the past few years come from independent European devs and the best Action games come from Japan… So, keep your dearest mediocre game and your culture wars, Obsidian lost yet another fan and because of people burying their head in the sand, they won’t know about the very large amount they lost… Well, they kinda do, looking at Grounded (not a masterpiece but a mediocre game like Avowed that conversely did not promise the wprld), priced at max 39€, and already for a long time on gamepass, 30k peak, current 3,5k. Avowed, the deep RPG, 19k peak, 2,8k current. Avowed flopped hard. Keep your feelings about the game however you want, it’s quite obvious for anyone with two neurons avowed flopped and is yet another symptom of the “mobile game” trajectory a lot of US American devs are taking due to the subscription model becoming ubiquitous. Strap in for the slop avalanche à lá Netflix.
It’s a AAA studio and it’s part of the MS roster.
Clearly Avellone did something right, other than the great pentiment (which started as a rogue project), they have yet to release anything of note since he left.
Gtfo with this BS
