I disagree, there are people in the crew who stand up for Isaac and recognize that the bullying did contribute.

It isn’t a game, it’s a Stream.

Comment on The Orville Season 3 – Episode 1 Review by Redlander https://phenixxgaming.com/2023/10/31/the-orville-season-3-episode-1-review/#comment-53210 Sun, 21 Jan 2024 11:52:25 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=49269#comment-53210 Isaac was clearly bullied. Now, he did not commit suicide because of that, he was more logical, but that does not change the fact that others bullied him. The show attempts to have a negative attitude to bullying, but it ultimately fails, since it makes the statement twice that ones suicide is only on him. That’s not the right way to treat bullying. This part of the episode is disgusting.

Wow, stumbled upon Mike Reitemeier’s review of Brotato, and I couldn’t agree more with the excitement around this game! The 20-wave survival concept and the intense Bullet Heaven action really caught my attention. Mike perfectly captured the challenge of balancing benefits and drawbacks, making each run a strategic journey.

Also, kudos for introducing me to the concept of ‘Brotato deeply read version. ( https://deeplyread.blogspot.com/2024/01/brotato.html) ‘ I was curious and found out it’s a free and online version, which is fantastic news for those looking for a taste of the game without breaking the bank. Can’t wait to dive into the deeply read version and experience the chaos and thrill Mike described in his review!

Comment on Doctor Who “The Star Beast” – Review by Solace024 https://phenixxgaming.com/2023/11/30/doctor-who-the-star-beast-review/#comment-52265 Wed, 06 Dec 2023 11:19:47 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=50078#comment-52265 Interesting. I don’t understand the uproar against that pronoun scene because it was in line with the character. Rose, of course, would interject that. It fits fine.
But the “if you were a woman, you’d understand” or whatever it was that men aren’t as smart sexist stuff didn’t make in-world logic. It was jarring and awkward. The rest was on the nose, but it was enjoyable and entertaining, though I prefer subtle messages to being sledgehammered by any side, but sexism just didn’t fit. There were also other things that have possible mixed messaging. There should have been more of super-inteligence Rose, so not to suggest “half the mother” or “half as smart as the mother” in proximity to “non binary” (on the nose as stink) so to underline “still smarter than everyone else”.
My friends have identified other potential mixed messages, and we are quite a mixed bunch ourselves just to clarify.
I had no clue who wrote this or anything. I had fallen away from watching the doctor two doctors after tennant. Just lost interest. So i disagree that finding the sexist stuff jarring and nonsensical is merely because of who wrote it, when a lot of us assumed a whole team of writers.
All in all it was enjoyable, and i loved watching it at the same time with my friends who live across the globe from me. It was, however, surface level entertainment, not something to think about deeply. If you ask any questions, which, as a group of writers, we tend to do – the fun ends.

I would want to also point out a few more flaws in “From Space” game,
1, If you are playing with someone, they can knock your character down with their weapons
2, They mix Rocket Launchers and Pistols ammo together so if you run out of one then you will run out of the other.
3, Playing a single player on anything buy Rookie is a suicide. WAY to many enemies
4, The “Aliens” look like a strip of pink bubble gum. Lack of details on the aliens
