@CloudlessStudio @BenjiGameDev If it's a lie about the game's content, yes. If it's an opinion. no.

@BenjiGameDev Some negative reviews are just diabolical, people need to be called out

on the topic of negative game reviews, just reminiscing about the very first time I upset twitter with an objectively correct take

@Reddit_Retards Most of the people who have a device and time to browse reddit would be poorer after the button press

@InfamousBloodia @JesuroShimuzu It does appeal to those who, in a parasocial way, WANT to see their favourite game developer "own the haters". It's part of the internet gaming culture now.

@JesuroShimuzu I get it that a Mario/Yoshi's island clone catching flack for allowing assists, thus making achievements a joke is a discussion we can have. A discussion we NEED to have is what the fuck is up with these company clapbacks ala old Wendy's twitter to discuss customer complaints.

If a developer says "L take, thanks for your money" in response to your review and then waves it around on twitter, I feel like you should be entitled to a refund.

@TheHat2 @OneEyedJackG What would count as "go against the grain" for an indie developer?

@OneEyedJackG Pretty much, yeah. Indie scene is a little different because there's a lot more emphasis on networking there. If you go against the grain there, word will spread quicker than it will in AAA development.

What if I told you that I've seen one of Anita Sarkeesian's private lectures that she gave to a game developer about 4 years ago?

@coworkerkiller @ExplodinBeef @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell Can these settings make the game easier to beat for a disabled person? Yes, as it can do for everybody. It doesn't make it "designed for disabilities"

@Aelios0 @ExplodinBeef @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell a setting that counts as a "cheat" for me, may be the only setting that makes the game possible for someone with lesser cognitive or motor ability disabled people absolutely can be less capable of beating games, im not sure how that's even questionable

This review knocked us out of Overwhelmingly Positive but I don't care because I'll die on this hill no matter how much time passes. Side note: They didn't get all the achievements

@coworkerkiller @ExplodinBeef @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell The person I was responding to said "They're not for you with your average motor control and full use of both hands." That's what my reply was specifically about x.com/Aelios0/status…

@ExplodinBeef @spiderguymandud @LilSyuto @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell I literally never said that, and I believe the word "anyone" when I said "anyone who just wants the game to be easier" includes physically disabled people. x.com/Aelios0/status…

@Aelios0 @spiderguymandud @LilSyuto @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell And when you say that no physically disabled person can benefit from these settings exactly what do you sound like?

@ExplodinBeef @spiderguymandud @LilSyuto @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell You didn't say that, but "disability assists" are usually for input/output, like remapping controls for an accessible controller. When you say these mechanics that make the game easier (again, not a problem by itself) are for "physically disabled folks", you kinda sound like this

@spiderguymandud @LilSyuto @Aelios0 @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell At what point did i say they weren't capable of literally anything?

@ExplodinBeef @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell I don't see any of them being built with disabilities in mind. They do seem to be designed for anyone who just wants the game to be easier, which is fine, but these "assists" are definitely not "disability assists." Disabled people are not "less capable of beating games."

@Aelios0 @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell

@ExplodinBeef @StilesClover_ @WeatherFell Did you play this game? What kind of assists are there?

@StilesClover_ @WeatherFell Are you aware of what assists in game are for? They're not for you with your average motor control and full use of both hands. Unless of course your stance is that physically disabled folks don't deserve to game, and get achievements for the work they put in.

@paloma_datgirl Does combustion man's arm... work? I don't remember. Do the straps pull on the fingers, or is he a metal bender, too?

Who was the strongest despite their disability?

@lfcurado @MadamSavvy But then you're already defining a person as "trans" before they come out and say so. This is very patronizing and disrespectful. I thought you should trust people's own judgments and claims about their gender

@MadamSavvy That is not groomer lingo, dipshit Egg is how the trans community refers to someone who is trans but didn't has the complete realisation yet, they're still in the "egg". Is how many trans people understands their own experience pre-transition It's like saying "closeted"

You mean predator enthusiast Zoe Quinn? Who talks to fellow predator enthusiast Vida who is the community manager for Remedy? For those who don't know, egg cracking is groomer language. This is when adult (usually) "trans" individuals seek out younger, confused individuals and persuade them into "going trans". There are some who happily keep a record of "all the eggs cracked".

@SystemPredator @KolstoTrond @otokyo__ Honestly, if the Christian God really cared about letting people know he existed and bringing people to heaven through Christ, I'd say he'd have more kids all over the world. Cause how was anyone in other parts of the world supposed to know all that before they go to hell

@KolstoTrond @otokyo__ Because the Christian God is not a mythological force within a human pantheon, but the very source of being, who revealed Himself in history through Christ and bore witness to His truth through His death and resurrection.

Dear atheist, What if, after you die, you find out that God is real all along? You lose.

@lowcortisol Turns out you were gay all along

What the fuck happened to my childhood crush

@kabrutusdeid Or a good way to avoid this is to check out the free demo and see if the credit shows up... Photoshop was a thing, too before AI

Due to suspicions that the images sent to me may have been AI generated, and because one of my main priorities has always been to remain fair and loyal to the reasons games are added to my list, I decided to remove the title in order to avoid a possible injustice. If real and 100% trustworthy evidence, free from any suspicion of AI use, surfaces linking Anita Sarkeesian to the title, it will be promptly added back to the list. I apologize to everyone. This was my mistake. I forgot that AI is a thing nowadays...

@HeroOfCanton42 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS I guess one of us don't speak English then ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

@Aelios0 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS I don't care about your stupid pictures. I didn't claim that anyway.

When I decided to create the Steam curator Sweet Baby Inc. Detected, my goal was to warn players about people who wanted to turn video games into tools for ideological messaging and political propaganda. Things escalated far beyond anything I ever imagined and today, terms like DEI are widely known across the global gaming community. We have also seen Sweet Baby Inc. become increasingly secretive, and having your game associated with Sweet Baby Inc. has effectively become a badge of shame, leading to significant losses in sales and reputation among gamers. Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the industry's movements closely, and the reemergence of Anita Sarkeesian as a relevant figure is deeply concerning. This is someone who has already done far too much damage to the video game industry with her toxic and hateful ideas, combined with the influence she somehow still holds within the industry. I see a situation very similar to what we had with Sweet Baby Inc.: a malicious individual trying to use video games to spread twisted and hateful ideologies, using gaming as a vehicle for propaganda. That is why I have decided to start including games connected to Anita Sarkeesian in the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator. We need not only to warn players that the game they are thinking about buying may be helping fund Anita Sarkeesian's disgusting work, but also to send a clear message to the industry that WE WILL NOT ACCEPT OUR ENTERTAINMENT BEING TURNED INTO PROPAGANDA. PERIOD. However, I cannot do this alone, not this time. Unlike Sweet Baby Inc., Anita Sarkeesian does not provide a ready made list of games she has worked on through her official website. She does list clients, but not specific games. And I simply cannot spend endless hours every day tracking down and investigating these titles anymore. Life happens. Bills need to be paid, and I have to focus on work that actually brings financial return. I am being completely honest with you here. But I know many of you can help track these games down. To get things started, I have added Slay the Spire 2 to the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator. If you can help identify more titles connected to her, please email me at info_deid@protonmail.com. Only games with undeniable proof of her involvement will be added. As always, I do not want to be unfair to anyone, nor do I want to spread false information. ROUND 2 BEGINS NOW!

@HeroOfCanton42 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS Whatever you're saying right now doesn't make your initial claim any truer than it was, and I'll keep quoting this picture if you keep engaging in this conversation without acknowledging it

@Aelios0 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS You quoted something like 4 mins into the video...

@HeroOfCanton42 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS Please be trolling... I literally quoted something they said deep into the video. This lady is also not an indie dev, so she wouldn't even qualify as an "indie friend" in my book to begin with

@Aelios0 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS I did watch the video... they go into exhaustive detail about why they think it's them. Guessing you watched like 4 mins and went back to subway surfers or something.

@HeroOfCanton42 @kabrutusdeid @MasteroftheTDS Man you gotta rewatch the entire video if you think they "got" funding from them... Plus it's all speculation anyway. The "well known enough to be anonymous" part can apply to literally every studio that's ever published a game because of the existence of search engines

@kabrutusdeid The connection is even closer. They got funding from someone who started Ghost Babies, the people who funded Sweet Baby Inc. @MasteroftheTDS put out a video yesterday about it.

@0xKruger @clemmygames It's these accounts that keep picking up the same games to talk about

@clemmygames this shit is the new roguelike deckbuilder indieslop why do you all make the exact same games

This indie developer is making a sick looking FPS where you play as a kitsune and can use both firearms and your beast powers. Ir's called FERRA, any interest?
