Something that I can relate to as someone who's not getting any younger, is the beginning of Yahtzee's review for "Wolfenstein: Youngblood".

I don't mind whenever folks vent per say, there's just two reoccurring complaints that I tend to not agree with, or just not take too seriously.
You see this a lot with discussions surrounding Soulsborne games, for example, where a game being hard is incorrectly framed as an accessibility issue.
There's a video by Drew Gooden about how "Ai is ruining the internet" and the "what is the point of all this?" section sums up my feelings perfectly. This doesn't just apply to art, but with life in general and anything that you want to learn.
The thing is, some people aren't smart enough to come up with real rebuttals for, say, why they think Tears of the Kingdom is the best Zelda game even though that's a completely valid opinion.
So rather than having to explain or come up with a real argument, it's just easier (and more fun for them) to invent a boogeyman and stomp down on that instead.
A good example of this is "the death of media literacy", which has just become a grown-up sounding way to call people you disagree with stupid and escalate it to a societal level.

I wanna talk about queer representation, specifically in Dragon Age: Veilguard. It'll take some time to explain, first I'm going to get into Dragon Age as a series, and then I'll get into Taash.
When it comes to Dragon Age on the whole I have some mixed feelings. It's one of those series' that sells itself as being serious and about serious things, but it isn't. This doesn't mean that it's outright bad, just that it isn't compelling.
Origins has a similar problem that a lot of games from the 00's had, where they're not being "dark" necessarily, they're just being edgy. I'm sure someone on the team wanted to talk about ghettoization, etc., but that's not fun for a lot of people, the fun part is "the zombie horde is attacking!!"
A similar sort of problem continues all the way into Veilguard, where we could go into like the slavery capital of the world, but the part they're more interested in is "go smite some dragons".
Now here's the thing, "awkward" isn't a huge problem, all that means is that it's benign, that the story isn't very interesting. "Adequate" is fine, not offensively terrible.
Here's where we get into Taash, a non-binary character.
A part of the problem is that human men in fantasy, and games in general, are allowed to be utterly boring or without personality. But when it's a woman, or gay characters, or trans characters, folks act like it's a crime when they "just exist", something they can't position as life changing.
Do I want to see more queer characters who do things other than be queer? Whose personalities and stories are about more than just "I'm the non-binary character"? Sure, absolutely.
But at the same time if all you have is "I'm uninteresting outside of being snarky", well... that was good enough for Morrigan. And Dorian. And Sera. And Varric. If that's good enough for them, then it's good enough for everyone.

Not to be too negative today, just some life updates that I need to get off my chest.
The first is that my brother got home from surgery today, I believe he got his gall bladder taken out. He seems to be doing fine, he was watching TV, he's allowed to eat. I was just worried, I guess.
Another is that my grandma passed away the other day. I was very close to her, so it's left me feeling sad and quiet. I just have one more grandparent after this. She was a good painter, I remember she used one of my photos for reference that one time.
