Maybe have a think.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@zachkerns" class="u-url mention">@<span>zachkerns</span></a></span> I should have worded that better. I’m not part of the crowd that boycotts and bemoans every piece of media that doesn’t feature a male lead.</p><p>I’ll judge this game on its own merits when it launches. I am looking forward to this despite what my post implied.</p>

All I’m asking for is a good game with a great story that does right by the characters.</p><p>I’m concerned with the direction they might take with her story. Ciri is a great character already. Don’t give her the Mary Sue treatment. Keep the story grounded and keep her relatable.</p><p>I’m cautiously optimistic that this will be awesome 👀</p>

Girls deserve to be represented in video games without fear of being considered “GirlBoss’d” or, more common in video games, represented as fighting monsters in a bikini so we can ogle the “jiggle physics”. I welcome this and can’t wait to play it.</p>

The expectation is that the Fediverse will be resilient but if instances are running against the law - even unintentionally - that resilience is threatened.</p><p>Ironically, this makes Threads the best instance on the network :blobfoxgooglymlem:</p>
