In Deadly Premonition 2 you get your standard incest plot with a side of transphobia since the brother in question here is actually a trans woman. The game came out in 2019 but feels like it was written in 2005 with how the character's gender is handled

The game is just all over the place. Swery wrote an incestuous perverted trans murderer and constantly misgenders her but also has several scenes where Francis York Morgan chastises small town hicks for their transphobia

Obviously Swery didn't consult anyone while writing the game and it's interesting no one in the localisation/translation team flagged these issues in the script either. Swery got predictably pilloried on Twitter when the game came out on Switch and they scrambled to patch the game to make the dialogue less offensive. Yes, the PC version you see here is the patched version of the game

Aside from all the transphobia, there's plenty of other iffy shit going on with the game's writing. The main villain is building up to be a black guy and his monstrous, morbidly obese blonde wife which feels a bit weird with how many of the game's black characters are written, like the black lady who starts every sentence with OH LAWD. There's also a running theme of older male characters being in love with much younger female characters, the most extreme example being a 16-year-old girl dating an adult man that looks to be in his thirties which is NEVER REMARKED UPON and treated as completely normal. York also has a 10-year-old girl sidekick in this game and some of the shit he says to her just comes off as really fucking weird sometimes

I'm nearing the end of the game and it's just shocking how bad Deadly Premonition 2 is compared to the original. The graphics and gameplay being absolute dogshit could be explained by the game having basically no budget but how the fuck is the writing so awful when that was the glue holding Swery's previous games together

Wow! So this basically opens the Frame up to almost every library out there. Minus the Apple Vision Pro, I guess.

This match was a nail-biter. Played Black. I got most of the board early on, but made an early blunder that cost me a fair amount of territory in the south (you can see that in the removed stone at C1).

Then White invaded me in the lower right and things got hairy. You can see a remnant of the fight in F3-H3 - that gap was part of their attacking force that I cut off and destroyed. It ultimately came down to a fight in the northeast where I was just barely able to prevent them from getting two eyes. It ended up encompassing most of my territory (though I'm sure I could've nipped it in the bud if I were a better player).

Look at this fucking shit

You can zoom out from a craft to the solar sytem and beyond (interstellar is on the roadmap), and it's completely smooth and seamless

Also, I love the cat theme, but I'm very divided if I can ever stomach launching a mission with a crew based on my IRL cats

I'm not paying full price for a 12 years old game you fucker
