For future reference, whenever you show a graphic of a globe, please rotate the globe such that North America is facing the viewer. This is considered good etiquette. Thanks
I bet Rockstar is thinking twice about *checks notes* making a normal looking female character.

I know it’s not relevant here, but since we’re talking globe etiquette: if your graphic of a globe shows New Zealand, be sure to shop it out to not reveal its location. At least cover it with a spoiler tag.

Damn Elon is the very fucking last thing I’d think of when I consider video game reviews. What’s Bill Gate’s opinion?
SPRUNT@lemmy.world 11 months ago
At least Bill Gates was connected to Xbox, or something.

I think he even invented Halo or so I’ve heard! He’s a true gamer.

Righties 4ish years ago: “Those cuckwokes in the land Downunder are pulling GTA V from shelves over violence, what a bunch of snowflakes. 😂😂”
Righties today: “um, could you stop doing violence in the M rated video game? My Hypothetical children are getting influenced. 🤓🤓”
The only thing consistent on that side of the fence is their inconsistency.

Elon Musk’s many children are only insofar hypothetical that he has yet to see them

I like how he’s turning extwitter into 4chan. Advertisers hate it though, but advertising only accounts for 90% of their revenue, nbd
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
I don’t remember hearing what Jack Dorsey thought of anything.
Musk has literally paid 30 billion to have his own private megaphone on the internet.
vivadanang@lemm.ee 11 months ago
That’s ok, Muskoid is going to sue the ADL and Media Matters, and based on his extremely flawed ideas regarding Freedom Of Speech, he probably believes he can win lol.
he’s such a fucking clown
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
His claim for suing Media Matters is that ads don’t always appear next to Neo-Nazis, therefore they had to hit refresh until one did.
Which… they never said otherwise? And that doesn’t really change things?
jaybone@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What’s the advertising like on 4chan? I haven’t been on there in like 15 years. Maybe there were banner ads last time I was on there lol.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Weeb merch, dick pills and malicious links. So pretty much what it’s always been tbh.

I hope the writers in charge of the radio station dialog are. This is great fodder.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
I can definitely see them including a Musk-like character.
Full Lethal Weapon 2 accent, over compensating hair, quests to test his wacky inventions, crushed in a quest where you help him move server racks.
Then Rockstar and Take-Two get their Twitter accounts locked under some bullshit about “incitement of violence” against him and his family.
magnetosphere@kbin.social 11 months ago
A jackass not being a fan of something is, to me, a pretty good advertisement for that thing.
It’s like a loud, obnoxious racist complaining about a nearby bar. “They don’t believe in freedom! They asked my friends and I to leave just for telling a few jokes!”
Oh, they don’t put up with bigots and aren’t afraid to kick them out? Maybe I should start hanging out there!
LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I swear lemmy just feels like an Elon hate forum. I hate the guy too but 80% of the content is just about him
pancakes@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Maybe you’re in the wrong communities, i see one Elon post every 100 or so posts.
Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Half of the posts I see are about awesome animals like cats, dogs, owls, bats, opossums and racoons.
Crowfiend@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Low hanging fruit tempts more people, more easily. He’s just a really easy to hate person, last decade it was Zuckerberg, this decade it’s Elon.
I just hope the next person to steal the spotlight is less insufferable.
DannyMac@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He’s a con man and everyone needs to know it. There are still too many people who think he’s the best person on Earth.
Arcity@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Yes, but him whining about GTA isn’t exposing him as a con man
PrinceWith999Enemies@lemmy.world 11 months ago
These kinds of posts always come off like when Trump complains that the people prosecuting him and judges are just anti-Trump.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Its an easy target. Low effort, high reward. I have a colleague who is frantic about numerology and anti-vax stuff. It’s always a success to crack a joke about that.
victorz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You should find some communities you like. It’s not all 80% for me. Much, much lower.

HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 11 months ago
These people confuse me. GTA6 protag is realistic but still at model level of conventional beauty.
It’s not like Sarah Rider (Mass Effect Andromeda) or Jesse Faden (Control), who aren’t as “conventionally” attractive. Although after writing that, Jesse is super hot, and I’m not sure if I’ve been gaslit by the internet into thinking she’s not “conventionally” attractive.
Being charitable and taking these people at their word, I feel like with the more divisive examples it’s a problem with modern lighting being softer and more dynamic? Leading to more “bad” angles and softer looking features. Most professional photoshoots have very contrasty and deliberate lighting, so maybe they’re too used to that?

Incels don’t like seeing a woman have any sort of power over their own lives, or seeing non-white/white-asian women
root_beer@midwest.social 11 months ago
It’s not even that the protagonist is a woman, the Boer said that he didn’t want to play GTA V because he just couldn’t kill police officers
He’s a fuckin’ virtue-signaling wiener who needs to be given a swirly; I doubt it’s even true but if it were, he’d use the same reason not to play any of the Wolfenstein games

Yeah, can we please just stop talking about him?
Like, especially for things that have absolutely nothing to do with him…
Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
The best bit of is I don’t think he even said anything? He said he didn’t play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn’t morally do it, that’s super dumb but I haven’t seen anything he said about the characters and no one in here is talking about it.
I think people have imagined how he probably feels and now we have to hear about that too!
Empricorn@feddit.nl 11 months ago
How you play a video game is as much a moral choice as writing/reading about the same.
I’ve found it’s a huge red flag when someone’s opinions are always hardline and binary like this. It’s literally choosing to be unreasonable when you never consider nuance, context, etc. I would agree that some issues are black and white, but most things in the world are shades of grey…
