what do you have against it xp
― 乒乓, Sunday, 21 April 2013 22:58 (ten years ago) link
just that it sounds like the kinda thing that would be racist if it was engendered outside the community? and it's not really clear that it was? like is a black bear a... well i dunno, a black bear?

this is outside my ambit but as far as im concerned a gay asian dude can call himself whatever hte fuck he wants

not arguing that fact, you asked what i had against it

what im asking is, what puts you in a position to judge?

hooboy, not going down that road with you dude. are you genuinely offended/surprised that i wrote "seriously?" on the internet at a first exposure to the idea of a gay asian subgroup called "pandas"?
― brb buying poppers w/my employee discount (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 21 April 2013 23:54 (ten years ago) link
the whole subgroup may just be THE HENRY for all i know o'course

^solitary posts, etci decided to share my opinion precisely BECAUSE i have no experience with it and was hoping one of ilx's many all-purpose mavens would step up and let me know "yes this is a thing, here's some background *let me google that for you*" or alternately "i am a large gay asian man and ime this dude is on some ish that's just his own thing". of course, this being ilx, i am being capn-save-a-panda'd

so there's some stupid fucking anime game (dragon's crown) (this is all i know about it) with big tittied ladies and people are mad about it, which is fine, and the penny arcade asshole weighs in:
It’s very weird to pull up a story about a game with frankly visionary art and hear why it shouldn’t exist, or to hear what I supposedly fantasize about, or what kind of power I supposedly revere, and any attempt to defend oneself from these psychotic projections or to assert that creators may create is evidence of a dark seed sprouting in the heart. It’s an incredible state of affairs. They’re not censors, though - oh, no no. You’ll understand it eventually; what you need to do is censor yourself.
i just... hate this guy. this like george will smugness. it enrages me.

did this go unmentioned at the time? just started playing saboteur. the free-with-purchase dlc adds... tits.

afaict it adds no 'real' game content, but makes all the burlesque showgirls topless. jfc.
― goole, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:25 (ten years ago) link
yo is that game any good? i got it for like a dollar but haven't even booted it up

concept, variety of activity, mission design (so far): good!story, v/o, etc: average-to-poor. depends on your tolerance for one euro accent after another.visuals, gameplay: average for 09, pretty dated now

sorry, it also adds "new Parisian hiding spots, [and] a new minigame"

there are lots of good reasons to hate oneself, but pixelated titties? eh

are the new parisian hiding spots in breasts?

"dragon's crown" is pretty bad as far as the fantasy title stakes go
― the bitcoin comic (thomp), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 22:42 (ten years ago) link
i keep trying to think of a similarly useless (fantasy noun + possessive marker + fantasy noun) name but they all end up making more sense. chimeara's sword. orc's ring. goblin's robes. wtf does a dragon even want a crown for. mb he is ruling over other dragons, nm, is there a kingdom of dragons in this game, that could rule
someone posted some of the concept art upthread but it's been occluded by the whole panda thing
