'To understand how a certain contingent of prospective Stellar Blade fans decided to make her outfits their cause de jour, it’s important to understand the low-key gamergate 2.0 revival Kern and others have been attempting in recent months. In March, narrative consultancy firm Sweet Baby, Inc. became the target of an anti-DEI crusade over made up associations between their work on recent blockbusters and the things in them some people didn’t like.

Ever since, various social media posters and content creators who seem to think there are too many Black characters in games and not enough half-naked female avatars running around have attempted to gin up a new war on “wokeness” in gaming that mirrors conservative backlash movements in other parts of the culture. Many latched onto Stellar Blade as an example of a game free of top-down “forced” diversity, fueled in-part by Shift Up’s promise that the game would remain “uncensored” in all regions.' 🙄

Yo, the music when you hit tachy mode is fucking godlike.
So, this is easily a 10/10 in my book. this game was MASSIVELY underrated by critics, god damn they cooked

Also this random mobile game developer cooking an alltimer ost. This stands next to even Square Enixs best osts.
Yeah thy did alot if things right and bodes well fir their future console games. I bet a few otger games from the "Hero project" end up being good.

This is laughable.

The fact that developers and journalists love that place tells us how bad things are in the industry.
Basically shows that their politics are purely performative. Seen so much twisting in pretzels on that shit site, it's clear it's just a social club rather than real convictions.
