The Fog of War video game idiom predates both Silent Hill, and every platform it runs on.
I'm not really sure we should be touting the sexism in bust size as bug or feature here. It's mostly just sickening.
Deep Blue making a random move doesn't sound like a bug to me. Certainly not in the usual sense. It seems like a fairly reasonable choice, if no better one is presented.
- bigmattystyles 7y agoCorrect - I've heard that's why Doom had so many double doors and sharp corners, to shorten the size / depth / view angle of what would need to be rendered. Completely agree with you on #2 as well - I'd go further, it sounds like an excuse you make when you wanted to do something but knew it wasn't normally justifiable. If that account is true, it's sad as well as plain sexist.
- alkeicndkehdiek 7y agoCurious what your working definition of "sexism" is in this scenario?
- thanatropism 7y ago> sickening Game boobs are certainly cringeworthy and maybe symptomatic of a sexist worldview that's unfair and therefore, to use a trumpism, sad. But if commercially-driven fanservice made out of pixels is sickening, what word have we got left for clitoris mutilation and burqas and other such uncomfortably extreme instances of oppression?
- gizmo686 7y ago"Wrong", "bad", "abhorent", etc. Sickening is not a moral judgement, it is an observation about what emotions get invoked.
- thanatropism 7y agoI ambiguously said “words”, it’s true — but what I was referring to is precisely the moral deadening that this state of constant heightened emotion must bring about.
