“The female characters are still attractive, as are the men, but first and foremost they are fighters,” Saito said.

In Dead or Alive 6, female characters’ breasts no longer jiggle and bounce in the exaggerated fashion the series became increasingly known for, and the costumes we have seen so far are less revealing. Female characters are depicted in a more natural way, which makes them feel more human and believable than before.
REAL SHIT?

i am fucking elated (unless this is some kind of ruse)

I can't be the only one that thought the skit and self-awareness at Bethesda were cringier than the things they're making fun of.
i think you could be tbh

trying to catch up

EA: 2/10
Microsoft: 7/10
Bethesda: 6/10 (but literally only for the brilliant key skit; they get an A+ for self-awareness)

sounds like i can just skip squenix
You can, their presentation is only around 25 minutes long though. What else is 25 minutes long?

You can't even have something without someone going "oh that offends me, how dare you talk about it this way, that's racist/sexist" or like "That's not a very feminist thing to do" or like "That's politically incorrect, you're offensive!"

Nobody—literally nobody—talks like this.

Ah missed that. Your updates are usually longer.

The hat you get from killing (or saving) Solaire is great to explore the Tomb Of Giants, so I always do Izalith first.
sometimes i'll drop tidbits of info of what i'm currently doing just to prove that i'm playing

right now i'm fighting the next boss and it's a fun one even though i've already died like ten times

whatever this shit is

2907
i figured there was probably a way to save him or something, but i didn't have the faintest idea what to do

game doesn't exactly give you any hints about it either, but whatever, i'm sure it happens to everyone

There's also a room just before the Firesage's place I forgot to mention. It's just a weird hallway with dead trees, strange arachnoid things that aren't hostile, and a door that won't open—even after all I've done so far. The spiders aren't hostile, even though I had a kneejerk reaction and killed one. Not sure what else I have to do here.
If you want a small hint about that door:

Spoiler
It will open but you have to sacrifice a ton of humanity.
And another fairly significant hint
You have to open this door to save Solaire from going mad.
lmao too late
You opened it then? Or found the other side?

tell me what you think is good in the world and i'll tell you precisely why it's actually bad
hearing people say what they think is good in the world and then telling them precisely why it's actually bad
could easily have adverse effects

people have always had different ways of processing uncomfortable truths—some can handle it, others can't

perhaps for some, the notion that there's anything good in the world is all that's keeping them happy, sane, or away from toxic ideologies like nihilism, which is not really something i'd want to take away from anyone

that's not to say these people should be lied to, but it's not always necessary to be so blunt about the iniquities and imperfections of life, and in a lot of cases, the only ones some people will hear the truth from are themselves
You're wrong because being wrong is the worst thing someone can be, so you ought to educate them.

See? Feels great
i can think of worse
More likely than not, it falls under the umbrella term "wrong".
surely you'd have to recognize, though, that there's often better ways of educating people than just simply informing them that they're wrong, thereby making the endeavor a waste of time in a majority of cases

if someone were to ask me what's so bad about something, it's not like i'm always gonna be able to convince them—i'm not a master of persuasion, unless you're suggesting that's something i ought to become (or is even possible to become)
Just stating that someone's wrong isn't the case being argued, though; it is a case of precisely explaining why they are wrong. Which, in and of itself, lends more to the idea that you are communicating a correct rationality and educating them as to their wrongness.

Spoiler
This is also a lot of hubbub around a joke
dragging things on longer than is needed has always been my calling
