#CYBERPUNK 2077 đŸ’»

it seems to me like you’re adamant that you don’t need to engage after you keep dismissing everyone else’s opinions, which is not a great position to defend!

Let’s see how many boxes this post ticks off on the “I’m not mad” poster bingo:

  1. You’re misrepresenting me
  2. Everyone else is too emotional
  3. I’m the only rational and coherent person here
  4. I don’t have to respond to you

I dunno what about Cyberpunk 2077 makes you so brittle to commentary on a game you didn’t make and haven’t played, but as Felix points out these are not great positions to defend. Try talking about what you’re interested in re: the game, so that you are engaging in a dialogue instead of sneering. I suspect you’ll get better responses that way.

on sb, i shape posts, crafting hot takes as i please. if i wish, i can post it all. around me is a burgeoning empire of brand engagement. from my throne room, lines of power careen into the void of cyberspace. my posts will become lightning bolts that emphasize the ignorance of humanity. out of the chaos, they will blood potion and reply, praying for me to end their tedious bigotry. i am empowered with this vision. woke: the title suits me well.

They definitely do (how we support representation is a major topic, especially as it’s a ‘new’ problem to solve), but I think the problem is that it’s one of many, many plates to spin and thoughts at that level are more thinking about slicing demographics and appealing to broader audiences and divining the zeitgeist.

In other words, executive/creative decision-making at this budget level is very reactionary because everything is so risky

Yes, okay, I’ll believe you that they’re simply bad at it!

I think it’s fair to view some of these decisions as malice now that they’ve dug so deep a hole but both are possible in the timidity of these environments

if everything is so risky maybe we need to have another videogames crash and start anew

god, so many of our arguments I want to solve by reducing fidelity and budget – as a designer, I don’t understand why we can’t just be using text boxes to illustrate elegant complexity

somebody’s gotta pick up the pieces

Not even the street can find its own use for this game.

Help, I don’t know how to format those jokey IC one liner reviews.

what’s not substantiated? this dev has a history of producing transphobic speech, and their new product features transphobic speech

if it quacks like a duck, etc

:musical_note: I wrote a post today
in the void of cy-ber space :musical_note:

also:

for real, like, I had a “idk it’s Just Tweets” moment before this but now it’s In The Text, we don’t need to know if the author’s dead.

i feel like the “idk its just tweets” thing is something people do a lot but its always undeserved. if a company is willing to allow transphobic shit on their twitter its pretty safe to say thats a reflection of their company as a whole. cdpr only apologized because people got mad lol, if they were proactive in the first place it would say a lot!!

Yes, obviously I was wrong and they didn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt from wishful thinking. I am chronically credulous and it sucks.

its not the worst trait in the world to have, but when it comes to matters of capital it sure is the easiest way to become a sucker

for me it’s easier even to get to “maybe they’re just annoyed and blowing off steam at being confronted with so many obviously correct responses to a dumb thing they did and they just need a minute to reconsider” than “oh they’re awful and they intend to be” which always makes me wonder if I’m somehow projecting that everyone is a reactionary with a heart of gold

probably not flattering if so

i mean like as a trans woman 90% of the people who are shitty to me are being deliberately shitty because its SUCH a fucking low bar to not be shitty so i naturally assume most people are being assholes because they can get away with it! its got a lot to do with how much of this shit affects your actual life, its much easier to give people the benefit of the doubt when you arent constantly being fucked with or treated like shit

the thing that bothers me is people rightfully having issues with cyberpunk 2077 will just galvanize assholes to buy it 10x over to ‘spite SJWS’
