Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

it is pretty funny that one generation suddenly decided that several thousands of years (or actually the entire history of our species; a few hundred thousand years if we’re talking about the “homo sapien” variant, I think) of human biology is incorrect, apparently because they just said so. :rofl: Everything is arbitrary; anyone can be anything at this point.

Back on the main topic here… I got back into Dead Cells once again; there’s another update that has hit all versions at this point… the “Corrupted Update”…I’m not even sure what is different yet, but the game is still fun to me…it’s another one I probably won’t ever get tired of.

I now have mental images of police officers shooting OG Xbox controllers and white women slipping one in their punani.

They added new weapons, new mutations, new powers, a new biome and a little section at the beginning where instead of 2 weapons and a shield there are 5 tubes with full sets of equipment to start your run(unlock by killing the giant on 1BC or higher).

Dead Cells easily one of the best games released this generation. Game is 25$ and they’re still fucking adding content. Game shits on some full AAA or AA releases without trying.

I can’t even wrap my head around labeling a vg controller ‘gender neutral’. Like…the only controller in history that I would even try to stretch to say leaned one way or another was ‘The Duke’ and that’s me trying to reach hard af.

Is this what we are going to do now? Just slap gender neutral on stuff that nobody thought had a gender tied to it in the first place?

I want race neutral controllers next. It’s always white and black.

Was a rhetorical question.

Keep in mind that google is infested with dumbasses that have been pushing for less “problematic” terminology on the computational science, like master and slave hdds, or trying to come up with a more inclusive way to code, because binary is problematic, lol.

Hey I get the doubt cause it does look suspect and people are always going to put on tinfoil hats for things. The thing is though…if you look at the publications that are part of ‘the powers that be’ a majority of them put out reviews saying they like DS or better. The math kinda checks out on that otherwise I’d be full on calling BS on Keighley.

Which have all been the default controller color and has been except for the gamecube’s purple controller but even then there was a gray alternative.
