This is kind of a tie in for the lesbian fantasy horror book I've been writing. The destruction of the environment and the destruction of women's freedoms go hand and hand. It's men forcing their will over what they view as inferior life forms. Cause while rice whales are dying, so are women. Men get away with rape and all other forms of violence against women as they get away poisoning the world's insect population.

It's a mentality that was hammered into the public's head by the patriarchy during the white colonization of the world. That everything was made for men, all is theirs. Man was above nature and could only be overshadowed by the divine. The divine which supposedly had given women to men to be taken as their wives.

The concept of genuine human interaction without the fangs of the patriarchy along with the white colonial mindset spreading itself no longer exists. Women are being left as husks while the ever greedy vampires demand more.

Sex has been perverted, not by sex itself but rather by the men who've tried to lay dominion over it. Sex is nature, therefore it was made by the divine for men; the idea that spread the cultural rape of indigenous people across the globe.

I have been doing temp work for years, I would learn things people would often study for; put myself in uncomfortable situations just for some experience and pay. The benefit would be that maybe someday all this experience would amount to a full time job with one of the companies I was involved with. Until I learned about the "no hire" rule.

I was told by a manager that there was a rule against hiring instaworkers permanently at her company. Realizing this I thought about the years of experience I poured into my resume, a resume I'd send out to companies I've worked with multiple times before. I began to think that maybe either my temp agency or the companies that use it are creating an environment where the less fortunate in Boston are stuck doing temp work forever. There is no monetary gain in having someone who's already working temp suddenly get a higher check and better job security. Boston is one of the toughest job markets while at the same time is insanely popular when it comes to temp work.

It also makes sense with the symbolism because stories of closeted gay people and gay people in general crop up a ton. It'd work as a pay off for that thematic line. It'd line up with Rorschach hiding himself under a mask he's desperately built up as his face. I know these sort of readings get a lot of negativity but I wanna hear what ya'll think.

I love how despite being a genre known for not needing that much writing wise, character action games tend to be really fucking funny. You even get games that do drama and philosophy really well like Nier and Sifu (I'm not entirely sure if combo based beat em ups count as character action so please give your opinion on this.) Bayonetta and DMC both have great character writing and humor, God of War feels like this epic greek tragedy. With all that I feel like there is some importance in writing in character action games, which is why I was so dissapointed in some recent releases. I like Stellar Blade, it is a super fun game; but man the dialouge drags for how much of it exists in this game. It isn't funny or interesting, its just there. While this isn't necessarily a character action game I feel the same way about Horizon Forbidden West, the game dedicates hours to what is some very pointless and uninteresting dialouge.

I think the importance of writing in these games can often be understated. Where would Dante and Bayonetta be without writers making their characters shine.

This goes to show how misogynistic the comic industry was and still is. Women being religated to the typical sexy femme fatale or the more submissive civilian. Rarely are women every portrayed as threatening in comic books or manga (which is why I love Wanda and Makima.)

Each character has a ridiculous number of moves and options and from what I hear they are customizable too? In an era where most western fighters are trying to lower their skill ceilings this game seems like such a breath of fresh air.

I find it incredibley interesting that Rorschach used to be an actual hero. I always felt the similarities between The Watchmen and the RLSH and his story reminds me a lot of the real life story of Phoenix Jones. Who's view of being a superhero lead him to becoming a fairly violent criminal.

Superheroes in our real life are usually just activists and charitable people in costumes, but then you get the few that are so lodged into the fantasy of the avenger and end up hurting themselves and others. Phoenix viewed other RLSH members as soft for not wanting to beat people up in the streets, and in the end he ended up compromising and selling drugs.

This real life scenario parodies Rorschach incredibly well. Goes to show how close to reality his portrayal of nihilistic cynicism can get.

I'm glad Phantom Liberty and future updates improved Cyberpunk's lackluster rpg and sandbox mechanics at launch. I still think it could do more role playing wise so I wanted to ask what are some features you'd like to see for the new game?
