  • I mean I guess.

    But I always liked the idea of reclaiming stuff from the assholes.
    So if people think this template is nice to make memes with, I always enjoyed taking it away from Crowder without giving him the power to stop anyone from using it.
    In my eyes he doesn’t own this meme, but I can see your point.

    Lovecraftian art is inspired by the tone and the mystery of Lovecrafts works and not by his racism.

    But that aside I didn’t downvote you for your first sentence.
    I personally wouldn’t even have downvoted you for your second sentence, even though I strongly disagree with it.

    I downvoted you for your edit, which ironically is totally tone deaf.
    Noone downvoted the fact, that you called the dude some stuff. You got downvoted for attacking Valve over an innocent sale of supernatural mystery games.

    Having read some of his works, it sometimes is scarring to read how he pictures arabic or black peope.

    He definitely let his personal racism seep into his stories.
    So I think the argument can be made, that one shouldn’t just consume his works without critically reflecting on the author.

    There is one story set in Egypt that I remember, where the open racism kept on breaking my immersion repeatedly.

    But I agree that calling Valve tone deaf for highlighting lovecraftian games misses the spot.

  • Totally different genre, but I liked how Celeste approached this.

    If you struggle to complete it there are tons of accessibility options to make the game more approachable.

    And the content necessary to finish the games story is not too much, while giving challenging -well- challenges to anyone who wants to spend more time with the game.

    And you clear the game screen by screen making it possible to only play it a short bit at a time.

    It’s almost a bonus that the story and soundtrack are fucking beautiful.
