  • The black samurai dude is already prevalent in Japanese pop culture. The folks going around saying that’s the problem are just confused and dumb. There’s no real issue there The issue lies in how things are portrayed that make the game look not distinctly Japanese, but more western “Asia wonderland”. I lived in Japan for over 10 years, I have Japanese family, so I pick up on some of this. It definitely gives the vibe of a Canadian studio did as much “Japan” ™ as they possibly could without having to actually go there or consult genuine professionals on cultural nuance or visual identity.

    I say this as someone who has only seen promotional materials and not the game itself, though. So the game itself could prove me wrong. And I don’t care if you enjoy the game or not, I’m just sharing why it kind of turns me off.















  • Long time Mac user here because of a steam deck. I’ve enjoyed KDE so much because of how much tweaking I can do. It basically feels like my Mac now, with the dock and the placement of the window management buttons, but also more colorful and “game-y”.

    A week ago, I started tinkering a bit more with some other new options and it just wigged out, forcing me to reset it to default appearance in order to see anything again, and I spent and afternoon putting things back to how I liked them, albeit a bit different.

    Also, now searching for global themes only results in an error and I have no idea why, nor how to fix it.

    Nothing I do really makes it perfect, and I find myself a little put off by things such as my window styles not perfectly color matching the application styles because they were created by completely different artists with different goals in mind.

    That said, my steam deck is a toy, and playing around is pretty much the only thing I’m doing with KDE and Linux at the moment. I am finding fun in it, ever if frustration is involved.
