Unsurprisingly, most people really didn't like it.
Silksong is 89% positive on Steam compared to Hollow Knight's 96% positive. While a reduction, I would not call it "most people didn't like it".

The obviously corruption-infested right hand? Why wouldn't it be larger than normal?

If we're going to argue about bad faith then the chuds on xitter who are angry that a game isn't 100% white males by volume are just as guilty.

I suppose I could see that some part of the backlash are people with a very ingrained artist background getting wrong vibes from the proportions. I wouldn't see any difference without side by side comparison.
And in any case, as you said, there is a variance. Isn't it more realistic that a woman with mannish proportions would be better suited to the job of an adventurer?
It's culture war overdose. No one would call her looking like a trans male 20 years ago. Hell, not even 10 years ago. There's a word for a woman with short hair and "jaw too sharp" or whatever: it's called a tomboy.
I do not share the visceral disgust for shades darker than white some people seem to have, and consider having them in the game to be generally an improvement in the same way having several sprites for weapons (that perform the same thing) would be.
It's a game. I don't care about unrealistic female frontline combatants or "historically accurate" racial representation (especially in the games that are not even set on Earth). I want to see many different things in it unless the game, or the particular part of it, is explicitly about everything being the same. I don't want a gaggle of generic anime waifus as a cast.
The same reason why the chuds defend "their" games from woke hecklers who want more diversity. Even if they wouldn't mind a bit more diversity, surrender to the people who hate you and don't participate in your hobbies anyway (or participate in all the wrong ways) is a mistake.
From my perspective, more likely than not a partisan criticising a piece of media based on political aesthetics - from either side - is likely to be retarded and shouldn't be listened to if we are to enjoy good shit.

Either that or sell fast lane subscriptions and everyone else is still in traffic.

Well I'm not a superintelligence, I'm a human, so I want them to be aligned to humanity.

Not quite a videogame but I've finished DMing the Exalted scenario I've been running. Taking a break now before I continue (if I continue).
Fairly stressful as my first DMing experience, but decent. The struggle with the roll20 module and its quirks was a good part of it. If y'all use VTT, make sure it's a very good setup before you commit, or just stick to google sheets.
I can see what some people meant when they say "don't play TTRPGs with friends". As in, it's fine to include friends, but it's really not something everyone in a given circle of friends is going to be apt for. Better to fill extra slots with enthusiastic strangers.
(If Baldur's Gate is a videogame then multiplayer Baldur's Gate I have to run on my brain is still a videogame)

Quote from FFT OP:
This thread is not for anything Culture War related
Content that is both fun and CW is thus excluded.
If you don't think a particular post fits those declared standards, you should be reporting it.

Therefore jokes about sex and sexuality are not fun, therefore not funny, therefore do not count as jokes.
The quote above doesn't say sex jokes aren't funny. It says sex jokes are CW material and belong in the CW material thread, even if they're funny.

Depends on who lives to negotiate peace. Could be pretty sweet to the point where Russian natives regularly make grumbling sounds in the general direction of "who's supposed to be the vassal state here".
It's not a society I would like to live in, but on the metrics of their traditions being unmolested by the imperial center and their coffers being filled from the Tsar's treasury, they rank quite high.

You are going to evoke concepts such as "good" or "truth" knowing it has no stable grounding and that tomorrow it can completely invert.
I will, while you invoke them not knowing that tomorrow they can completely invert.
Justification is not subjective, it is normative otherwise I can just say that Conan's response to question of what is good in life in form of "Crush your enemies, drive them before you and listen to lamentation of their women" is "justified" by his subjective perception of "philosophical concepts". So it then at least two of the criteria of Justified True Belief are met, and since truth is also subjective, Conan's moral prerogative counts as Justified True Belief as well in this insane system. It is "his Truth" in postmodern sense. Your subjective relativistic worldview completely vacates any possibility of truth, goodness and even possibility of any debate . *It's Conan's truth bro, he justifies it by his subjective experience of philosophical and moral concepts just like you, leave him be".
Debate is when you try to convince Conan that he doesn't see everything there is and so his "good" will eventually lead to his "bad". Such as, for example, positing that there is an entity that he couldn't possibly see whose good alings with your good more than his, which is capable of inflicting arbitrarily high punishment on Conan for diverting.
When that debate fails, people go secular and shoot Conan dead.
Or I can say that my philosophical concepts are "justified" because of "sbd sfnwefg esfdge".
This is exactly what you're saying when you say "God". "My philosophical concepts are justified because I say so".
I do not suffer from your problem
I do not suffer either, because just like you, I'm perfectly capable of telling myself "actually my beliefs do have grounding". As long as you're convinced that there is no point in looking for any common ground unless it is on your Christian terms, I do not see the point of saying more.
At the end of the day no amount of constructing philosophical concepts like God and declaring that it is that concept alone that provides meaning will actually change anything. I will continue to act as if my actions hold meaning despite no materialistic evidence to it (I never said I am a materialist).
You seem to believe that I need some objective philosophical justification. Untrue: I only need a subjective philosophical justification. That's all I have, and furthermore that's all you have, because your perception of so-called objective philosophical concepts is itself subjective. Who knows, maybe you're the one who lives in the Matrix and what you believe and remember about the Christian God's goodness changes on the daily.
(Why was it the Christian God again, specifically?)
Needless to say, whether you or I live in the Matrix or the Boltzmann brains or whatever perfect illusion you conceive would have absolutely no, zero, nada bearing on what we believe and do. Suppose I even admitted that some sort of objective morality must conceptually exist. It would change nothing because there is no basis on accepting any religion as the true source of that objective morality. For all we know, God wants us to do the complete opposite of what you believe God wants us to do.
You claim God is the only possible basis for truth, yet who said that truth has any relation to the world around us? You claim God is what gives life purpose, yet who said that this purpose needs to be benevolent? What exactly would be the point of having a purpose if that purpose is, for example, to suffer in confusion.
Oh really? Were you there 2000 year ago as some elf from Tolkien story?
Don't tell me that you can't tell the difference between me having been there and the kind of thinking being similar.

You do not have any grounding for epistemology either.
I have the same grounding as yours: my senses and reason. These are not perfect. You talk about a human not having the capacity to judge God, but your positive claims about God are no less hubristic than Job's attempt to judge God. Your claims of objective morality are unfounded.
Guess what, what is obvious to you is completely alien to somebody else such as saying that of course my sense of morality is based partly on meat desires.
Do not pretend that "knowing true things is good, believing in false things is bad" is something that wouldn't be obvious to you even without any religious indoctrination. You don't need God to not walk into traffic, assured that the traffic isn't there.
You are a nihilist, your declaration of something being good has the same meaning as writing "safbdsnbdsv a,fmbdsf sdfd" - an equally arbitrary and meaningless statement.
You would not be replying if what I was saying was random noise. You act as if informational value below 1 is the same as zero.
So stop appropriating moral language of Christianity that actually at least allows for objective morality to exist in its paradigm and pressuposition.
The kind of morality I am employing predates Christianity and operates closer to reality. Rich of you to forbid me to use maths because your version of maths allows division by zero.
Knowing what you know and what you don't know correctly generally turns out better for you (in a very self-obvious way that you'd have to be deliberately obtuse to not understand), if you haven't arrived to that conclusion in life I don't have anything else to tell you. By the time you're an adult, you're supposed to figure that one out rather than relying on "because I said so" from your parents.
Of course my sense of morality is based partly on meat desires and partly on post-Christian values instilled in childhood, I am not going to pretend that these are any less arbitrary than they are. Meanwhile your sense of morality is not going to become less arbitrary no matter how long you plug your ears and chant "I believe in Jesus Christ the King and Saviour".

Do you have a better answer to it?
The better answer is to admit you don't have objective morality rather than writing a book that says "this is the objective truth, trust" and deriving secondhand moral authority from it, i.e. sparkling personal preference.

I do not see a lot of typical victims in power. In mainstream perhaps, there are more. Those who get in power are, as the other guy noted, still the bully type, even if not the locker-showing jock type.
If you're thinking of the modal trans activist moderator, he wouldn't be bullied into insignificance, he'd just adapt to grow up into a duckspeak comissar of some other ideology.

Also:
Reagan made a counteroffer: not doing any of that. And if Hell used any nuclear weapons, he would nuke the whole world, destroying all human life. Thamiel’s goal, he said, was to corrupt humanity and make them suffer. Piss off the Untied States, and they would knock humanity beyond all corruptability and pain forever. Some would go to Hell, others to Heaven, and that would be the end of that for all time. Mutually assured destruction was the only way that anyone had ever prevented nuclear war, and sometimes that meant threatening something terrible in the hopes that your enemy didn’t want it either. Reagan gambled everything on the idea that the Devil didn’t want a final end to all sin.
No one would be able to use the word "replaced" like it's something evil and vile if they didn't imply that the removal of whites to be later replaced is deliberate and done by the same actors.
So I don't ask you to disbelieve anything, I just want you to speak plainly. If you wish to have a white people (well, "heritage american") guild like they had craftsmen guilds in the past and still have unions in some areas of labor, so that the white people can go on strike whenever they want and can't be replaced with scabs, you can say so.
And more generally, if you really believe there's going to be an annihilation race war and it's going to be initiated by the non-whites I would like to see an actual outline of what you think is going to happen, because so far it looks like vague scaremongering as justification for enacting a white-initiated annihilation race war.
"Reproduction suppressed economically" is an argument I'm used to hearing from the permanent adolescents who do not dare to have even one child until they are 40, paid mortgage on a house and have college funds.
What is this economic curse that makes whites so poor they objectively can't maintain a TFR of 2.1?
I've played it. The puzzle part is great, but at some point, the roguelike walking around the estate part starts to hobble the appeal. I gave up on it somewhere at 70-75% total completion, after realizing how much busywork coaxing out the next set of clues was going to take.
If you don't mind parts where you know what to do, but actually doing it requires getting the correct rooms with RNG even with all the RNG mitigation available, taking an hour or more just to set up, then you're going to love it. As it stands, I merely liked it.
There's like... I don't think it's a spoiler, but there's a library room, and suppose you want to read a particular book. Tough luck, you have to check it out on a library form first, and then you get to read it the next time you roll a library, which is normally only in the next run at the soonest.

I can take an educated guess that it's not so. I can't know if there is a Heaven, or Hell, or no Heaven and 9999 layers of Hell, either.
"Souls exist in a substantial enough way to experience things while lacking a body" is, of course, yet another argument against being particularly fearful of nonexistence.
I've found this group rating games as woke because they have a woman or a black person in a military game in Europe (or Europe-esque fantasy) more than once. I wish I was exaggerating. Some people are beyond parody.
