Their name is Erika Ishii! They're a great comedian too, they've made a lot of appearances on Dropout

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Erika is genderfluid and uses they/them pronouns.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

I was gonna say those 12 pixels looked like Erika

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I have never loved her energy, but happy for her success.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 1 month ago (1 children)

disagree with LGBT

Then I disagree with your existence too, dipshit.

I disagree with gravity. Can’t fly yet but I’m working on it. \s

The trick is to have someone distract you mid-fall, so you forget to land.

It must be exhausting, being mad about shit that doesn't affect you all the time.

God damn, every time with this.

Ghost of Tsushima was amazing, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It's a weird hobby they have. Hating. Very weird

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m excited to see the “go woke go broke” crowd lose their minds over this when this turns into a great success

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't this like Ghost of Tsushima sequel? It's gonna be great success for most people.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes, but it’s a female protagonist now, which triggers a certain set of people.

I’m excited. The game looks awesome!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, been a while i play (aaa) games and what the heck this looks so good. Gonna have a new PC for this and Tsushima and MHWild.

Gamers! They are targeting gamers!

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Huh - if she's the mo-cap actor for the main character, I'm really hoping the game gives you the option to perch somewhere, like a bisexual little gargoyle. It'd be a real shame if you couldn't.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Coming to ABC this Fall!

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Litterally everything I see/hear about Erika just makes me love them more

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're also a regular on Dropout's shows, like Game Changer, Make Some Noise and Dimension 20.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

WAIT THAT'S WHY THEY LOOKED FAMILIAR

I'm definitely getting this game, this is amazing

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Eirika Ishii mentioned!! They're great, I'm not a Ghosts fan but I'll be excited to see their full performance once the game comes out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

wait holy shit i only know erika from dropout shows; didn't realize she has such a prolific voice acting career and that i've heard her voice in a few games that i have played!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where do they get the energy to be this outraged over nothing all the time?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

When you keep drinking energy drinks but never leave your gamer chair you have the energy to this and more.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

At this point I don’t even care about pointing out these bigots, I’m just so tired of constant ignorance and hate towards such non-issues. These guys are fueled by engagement, so it’s just best to ignore them, especially on Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

it’s just best to ignore them, especially on Twitter.

You shouldn't even be on twitter!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I’m not, I wasn’t even on the og twitter. Never really like the format for it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Both being a bigot for money and pointing out bigots for money is big business. Neither is going anywhere fast.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Now I have become interested in the game

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I loved playing Ghost of Tsushima (gotta play it again when I get home) and I really enjoy everything Erika Ishii does, this is amazing!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Delayed PC release is the biggest downside. I guess the no games box needs a win and I'm usually a patient gamer, but it is unfortunate.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I just don't care. Woke. Not woke. ~~Pavlov's~~ Schrodinger's woke.

I don't care. If the game is good it's good. If the game is bad then it's bad.

Mad shitheads on the internet don't influence my purchase choices. They just annoy everyone around them. Like militant vegans or hipsters. They're a nuisance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Mainstream gaming, is on aggregate, getting worse and worse over time. Everyone wants to feel empowered to stop that from happening.

You could punch upward, targeting management of stuidos and publishers.

You could look inward, and make a commitment to sincerely boycott games from companies that consistely release games in an unfinished state, use dark patterns to exploit gambling addictions for profit, mistreat their staff, etc.

Or you could punch down, and target LGBT creators, who are largely individual contributors and completely unrelated with any of the root causes of the decline in game quality. But this one is SO much easier than the other two, so maybe you'll do this one so that you can feel like you're doing something without really having to do anything. Especially since it confims some things you heard from politicians that need to distract you from how their only policy is to make life better for rich people.

Just played "Ghost of Tsushima" for 5 Hours. It's so good. I Play will Ghost of Yotei. No Matter What.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Ready to save money

Yeah right, I doubt that person was going to buy the game anyway lol

Me, I don't care about any of this, but with the recent announcements from Ubisoft (Steam release on day 1, no more season pass for new Assassin's Creed, etc) I'm a bit more optimistic towards their leadership direction and given how much good I've heard about the first Ghost game, I might just get this one if it works well with Proton.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What does Ubisoft have to do with this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oops I thought it was a Ubi title because everyone was discussing it under the AC article the other day

I could live without more Sucker Punch, but this is awesome

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sucker Punch is the studio behind the games. Nothing to do with the Zack Snyder movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean I'm not gonna buy it, but I might end up playing it eventually.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
