Very true, too. I don't like it, but I respect it, and it's on you whether or not you want to see that stuff, or at least it should be, rather than companies dictating and forcing censorship. At least Bayonetta 3 had the right idea with being able to choose.

Sony forced Steller Blade to censor on day one patch...though if you got a hard copy you can get away with it, by not not downloading the patch. No different from TotK. Heck, there's a boycott of this, and it's like the boycott for the Tomb Raider censor, we will win

Hopefully. Just give players an option. Not all gamers are perverts, but not all are prudes either. Some of us, like me, just like having the freedom to choose when available. Does that make sense?
I'm still not sure if I'm interested in Steller Blade, but it does look fun. If the boycott works, I might consider renting it.

Media doesn't want you to have a choice so what you say, is poison to them. You played Bayonetta and it works like that so I hear

Yeah, I've played Bayonetta 2, and it's uncensored, but so what? Least it's not over-the-top sexual, but the fan service does irritate me sometimes. I also have a problem with forced censorship. People like the raw version, let them have it. People like the censored version, give it to them as an option! I just like having options! I can't really explain it any other way.

I meant gameplay but yeah. People like the raw version? Sure, but the media ignores gamers so there's that...

I've noticed, and when the media acknowledges us gamers, it's hardly a good thing. They bash us for playing games all day, yet glorify work culture for working until you die. Because overworkers contribute to society and gamers don't? You'd think with the explosion of mental health crap, gaming would be taken more seriously in a good way. Slowly, it's becoming more accepted, but some people still like to blame games on everything that goes wrong, just like they blame guns for mass shootings.

That never died from the start anyway, and gamers...are the type to say, 'nope' and not buy a game because it's woke. Many companies are bankrupt now, because of it.
Oh yeah, the DEI Detected steam thing now has a website, so its easier for you. It just starting but at least you know

Sadly, some people still do buy the games despite the wokeness. Avoiding the woke games help me save some money, but I also hardly ever go out to buy games anymore anyway. And looking at that site only proves what I've been saying all along: they've chosen their target audience as the wokeness is done on purpose, specifically Sweet Baby Inc, from the looks of it! I'm definitely bookmarking that site and keeping an eye on it! Thank you!

That some must be small few because its not enough to save a lot of companies.
They just don't get that the 'modern audience' doesn't exist.

Same thing to me.
I won't jinx it by saying I don't know what to do or make plans, so I'm gonna take the day as it comes this time.
Also, anyone here use Amazon? I'm serious: could you guys please confirm if you got a notice under Gift Card Activity about your account possibly being on hold? I just want to know if they did that to all users, or if I'm treading thin ice with them now.

Because it is the same thing.
I have no idea. I haven't used them, even when I walk in the store, just don't buy them.

You should still be able to access Gift Card Balance even when it's empty.

I'm fine. Been focused on Final Fantasy 1 all day.
Edit: one trick I learned when grinding is to take advantage of not only auto battle, but the auto fire on whatever controllers have turbo. That way, all you have to do is walk around. You don't have to lift another finger to battle or exit the battle menus. An incredibly lazy way, but a good one if you're just looking to level up.

Turbo also helps if you're grinding for money. I was able to stock up on 99 potions and such this way, for example. Yeah, kinda cheating even for a 30+ year old game, but the devs must've known that too since it's an official feature, and it makes grinding less of a chore and finally help me move on with the storylines! That's why I stopped playing the PS1 and rom versions; I lost patience due to the grinding. I got farther in Final Fantasy 6 last night as a result, to one of the opera scenes. Not a big fan of those, I feel it kinda drags the game out more than I like. Oh well.
Playing them last night and this morning burnt me out on them, but at least I made some progress, so for now, that's enough.

I'm gonna try not to. I really want to save as much as I can for next month anyway and put my entire focus on games then, see how many I can beat before the month ends, but that's usually when it turns into a chore and burn out is possible...especially long games like Final Fantasy, so I don't know.

I could focus on beating as many short games as I can instead, maybe, if I can remember what games those are. >.< Doesn't help that with as many roms as I have on the Wii, focusing on one game is hard. TOTK kept me busy last year, and by now, I've seen and done all the game has to offer, so it might not work this time. Hyrule Warriors DE is grinding hell, and I've gotten bored with that lately, too.
Even looking up 30 day challenges isn't helping, as it's all life improvement stuff. While that's ideal and everything, it's not what I'm looking for.
