thanks, i'll be honest, i'm probably not watching skullboi's 2 hour video essay about all this

including asmongold attempt anti-woke critique and completely miss the point of things like why characters in hades II are designed the way they are. Video ends.Oh i guess his thesis is thst gamers don't want booba in the games because they want them for masturbation fuel, it's because that cohort of gamers wants to be the primary audience again amd these games are the 'battleground'. Skullboi points to the fact that in BG3 players have unparalleled choice to design their characters how they want and romance who they want, but the alleged 'wOkErAtI' never 'raged' against because it was a good game.

The moment I heard some stupid chud whining about how "lame" it is that Hephasteus can't walk, and them not understanding how incredibly funny that complaint is, will be seared in my brain for eternity. I'm going to occasionally chuckle about that until the day I die.
Hades 1&2 are also good games, but smaller. I think the chuds just felt on a deep level that if they'd rant about the multi award winning, full price super popular game, they'd be laughed out of the room whereas they can get away with “hades bad”
