« Frequently, Zelda has dissociated. »

literally i could not care less about your problems man

i am very uninterested in the dude i have to work with here in the beginning i want to dump him

i am disappointed that it only has dialogue options for "sweet angel" and "transparent villain" and not "apathetic self-interested asshole"

anyway i picked up kotor and am playing it for the first time

nintendo has also started doing this which is the only reason i care

anyway the goal of activision blizzard isn't to tell interesting stories or make good art but to produce highly-optimized fandom bait which manages to target as broad of an audience as possible with as little investment necessary from the relevant team, i just personally find it to be a repugnant approach to storytelling is all

like this would only work IN THEORY if you then went and hired writers whose identities at least somewhat matched the identities you defined

hand them over to your straight white male writing team to try to build something out of??

activision blizzard's tool is horribly broken and simply will not work for its intended purpose because the way it attempts to model diversity (as a flat metrical unidirectional deviation from a norm) does not in any way actually model diversity

BUT EVEN IF IT WORKED, like, you have all these diverse characters, what do you do now?

imagine, if you will, being able to create a diverse cast of characters with surgical precision, and then being utterly incapable of using them to tell a compelling story

what a literal representation of “centring whiteness”

yeah i see you, you’re not fooling me

20somethings really be like “i am not interested in dating women in their 30s” and then go listen to florence welch

the succeeding track is titled “Dream Girl Evil”

this has been a public service announcement

Florence + the Machine released a new album and it has a song titled “Girls Against God”

the games literally do not make sense in the third person

a lot of fans want a legend of zelda movie without understanding how absolutely horrible that would actually be
