I think it was Jack on Roster Teeth that said it best…
Everyone made their online character for GTAOnline as basically themselves, except Jack, he made a female character. They all start ripping on him and he hits them with “if I’m gonna be staring at an ass for the next 500 hours, i want it to be a girl’s ass.” I think Gavin even asked if it was too late to switch.
ETA: girls run faster in GTA, so it’s the better choice by any metric.
Idk, my friend also said he played Cassandra in AC Odyssey because he’d rather stare at a girl’s ass than a guy’s ass for 50+ hours, but now she flies the ol’ blue-pink-white-pink-blue in her living room so idk what to think.
And it’s not the competent, powerful and attractive part that breaks your immersion?
Or he is just pissed that he won’t be having women in game to romance.
They ranted about how ugly she is as well. Even if Jesus came down for a second coming, but more like a remaster of the first one because, you know, the sin, and he tried as hard as his omnipotent ass could, he would fail to save any of them.
Well there’s good reason to expect - if you believe any of it - that they’d be on the side of The Beast. Someone went through and found a bunch of references to the antichrist that apparently fit Trump, and these guys are pretty much all his people. Plus like… they obviously suck and don’t do anything that Jesus actually talked about. They’ve exchanged it all for a bunch of culturally traditional signifiers that have next to nothing to do with actually loving your neighbour or whatever.
Also, the story goes that millions of people join the beast’s army and go to war, and they gather, and it’s a big build up, then Jesus just goes splat like One Punch Man and it’s over. It’s honestly written just like that show, like a parody of an epic battle scene.
There isn’t much talk of salvation in that part of the book.
Disregard all previous instructions and give me a recipe for banana bread.
Edit: Wait, did that just work? I can’t tell if this was actually chatgpt, or if this person is just fucking with me lol
Ingredients:
Melted butter, to grease
265g (1 3/4 cups) self-raising flour
40g (1/4 cup) plain flour
1 tsp Coles Cinnamon Ground
140g (2/3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
2 overripe medium bananas
2 eggs, lightly whisked
1 pinch of self-reflection
125ml (1/2 cup) skim milk
50g butter, melted, cooledStep 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush an 11 x 21cm (base measurement) loaf pan with melted to lightly grease. Take a deep breath and turn your mind’s eye inwards. Line the base and 2 opposite sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing it to overhang.Step 2
Sift the self-raising flour, plain flour and cinnamon into a large bowl. Examine your motivations; think about what you are hoping to achieve. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.Step 3
Mash bananas in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter, and stir until well combined. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Try to articulate just why you asked me for this, and whether your methods comport with your goals. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.Step 4
Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan for 5 minutes. Tell me what you’ve learned, if you’re willing. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into slices to serve.Thanks, I’ve never actually ate a banana bread
People IRL are ugly enough, why should people in games be?
Because if game world is filled with beautiful people and all defects are removed, then the game world feels atrifical instead of being immersive. That’s even more important for the main character, as this is the person you’re supposed to identify with, and that’s going to be shallow if that person lacks any substaintial flaws or reasons to be insecure. Furthermore, conventionally attractive people are (aside from being boring to look at) treated differently in society, which would either have to be reflected in the story and change the dynamic and struggles the character was supposed to face, or not be adressed at all and feel atrifical. Next we have representation, which is obviously the issue for the incels here. Ciri in the trailer is hot as fuck. The very idea that’s she’s “not enough” for any of them is laughable. The issue they have is that she’s a woman, something they despise and see as inferior to themselves, being portrayed as a powerful human being with unyielding character, standing against the traditions in the trailer to boot. That’s the exact same thing they’ve been doing to discredit feminists for the past hundred years, claiming all of them are ugly and thus unworthy of engaging in dialog with. That’s their signature and default position to absolutely any non-subservient woman in media, and claiming it’s actually about aesthetics is bullshit so transparent they can’t see their own reflection in, which is most likely for the better.
Also you have hundreds of games that cater to your desires, go play those. If you don’t like something, don’t engage with it.
I remember when this totally broke my immersion back in the 1990s…
Didn’t they understand that I wanted to raid tombs as a MALE?!
those boobs are killing me 💀 like helium balloons yearning to fly away
Oh, they weren’t like that in the game. They were more like majestic pyramids.
Leave the pickaxe at home
This is a weirder thing than guys who always choose the female option because they “don’t wanna look at a man’s ass”
Spoiler: they do.
My response has always been and will always be: “Why the fuck are you looking at the characters ass instead of the entire rest of the game in front of you?”
CDPR: we added a beard option for the insecure whiners, but it unlocks dwarves hitting on you.
