honestly i'm just trying to help people not make fools of themselves in public by calling things like a self-checkout lane a "robot"


Why would a self-checkout lane be called a robot? The lane doesn't perform any complex functions.

The bigger issue with those is that it provides no useful benefit to the consumer, apart from catering to impatience.

This is what happens when you try to be progressive; no matter what you do, somebody's going to be pissed off.


As much as people whine about Krem I think Dragon Age Inquisiton handled the same subject matter fine.


I had no problem with how they handled Krem. He wasn't defined by his sexuality, and you had to prod him to get the info out. I have no idea how they handled the transexual character in Andromeda, but if they're apologizing and issuing rewrites, they handled it pretty poorly.

They did the same mistake baldur's gate made where you talk to them and they go

"HELLO! I came from there where they called me Eric but that wasn't me so I became Jane and then i came here nice to meet you!" bullshit.

Who it does make suffer is the content providers, since you've taken away their main source of income. If you are using an ad-blocker, then unless you're supporting the site some other way (you're providing content to the site, donating via Patreon, etc.), you don't really have a right to be using it anymore. I do think it's a bit selfish that people get on their high horse and say "I only block because the ads are invasive/really annoying/etc.", yet still feel they have a right to use a service they're now not even paying for.

I pee during commercial breaks on television. How is that any different?

I'm aware of that, it can't really be denied. Except it's irrelevant to the topic at hand.

It's relevant to defining what a "RPG videogame" is.
The general defining feature is some sort of experience/level system.

6) Create a platform for uploading videos to rival YouTube. Never play ads on it ever because I don't need to monetize the damn thing since I'm rich AF already. Set it up on a subscriber pay wall similar to how Twitch works, so that ANYONE can view videos but you can subscribe to the channel. All revenue from subs goes to the channel creator. Set it up to stream as well. Put both YouTube and Twitch out of business when all their content creators realize they can make WAAAAAAAY more money on my site. This allows content creators to have the freedom to create content the way they want without sweating likes, subs, views, or whatever the hell YT has added to the most recent algorithm. Allows channels to run their OWN ads (but not site sponsored) so they can maintain their ad revenue. In general, make a site where creative people can freely express themselves for our viewing pleasure.

Nowhere does the word "number" appear in the definition, neither does "pencil and paper." It simply says game.

So are you saying the definition is wrong? Or are you saying that games commonly associated with the term "RPG" aren't actually doing any of those things in said definition?

The definition seems to be for pencil & paper RPGs.
And no, very few "RPG" videogames actually bother with P&P conventions, apart from number porn.

Zelda isn't an RPG.

A role-playing game (RPG and sometimes roleplaying game[1][2]) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making or character development.[3] Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.[4]

Very few of those points actually happen in RPG videogames, even the ones that bother with conversation trees and skill points.

At a basic mechanical, "no, because melanin" implementation.

But, if that BLM chapter is a "private club" or similar, then too damn bad. Exactly who or why they're excluding is irrelevant then.

I'm not ignoring the context. The context is hilariously pathetic


One group planned a meeting with the intention of having a safe space for members of a certain group to exchange ideas is comparable to another group separating minorities out into shittier versions of their facilities because they see them as less human...in your eyes.

What's funny is you pretty much prove their point, since guys like you will come in and do nothing but get defensive, argue endlessly and then completely derail any productive conversation.

But, Jim Crow laws were "safe spaces" for whites.
