Where does it not rate well? I can only find a very tiny handful of reviews, but they seem pretty positive if very limited in details. Nathan Pyle’s subjective merit has been a topic of several arguments among my friends - I’d be very interested in reading the criticisms.
That's what stopped me from getting it when I first heard about it. However I am a fan of strange Planet and can't go wrong for $12.55 in my book.
I'll agree with this. We bought it not long after release as we get a chuckle from the comics.
Worst game I've played for a long time. Really repetitive and not that funny. I returned it to Amazon. Still love the comic though.
Existence is PAIN, Jerry!
Dude has literally one joke. And it’s not even a good one.
Nathan Pyle is an anti-abortion wacko
Wasn’t the whole story that he he retweeted his wife being grateful for not being aborted or some weird garbage about an anti abortion cause, years before anyone gave a shit that he existed? His only comments about the topic as far as I can tell are that he’s Christian, he and his wife have private beliefs, and that he votes democrat and is weirded out by republicans.
Pyle seems like he’s not a fan of abortion as a thing - but he doesn’t seem to be either politically pursuing that belief, or trying to sell it to his substantial audience.
Dave Grohl and the foo fighters didn’t believe that AIDS was real for a while. They got taken in by fruitcakes and they’re better now. But people bring that up pretty regularly to make sure people remember that one time they were (profanity), I think they’re a great example that even people with a LOT of better resources can get radicalised by nonsense - but also that they can get better and stop being problematic.
I see why we’re cancelling Louis CK and Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. (profanity) those (profanity) creeps. I understand cancelling Iggy Azalea for her weird ball disease theories about vaccines, or Kanye for being a (profanity) creepy abuser to Kim, or Kim for being a shallow valid privileged idiot who uses her platform to shame people for not having a dad who got rich defending guilty pro athletes from domestic violence and murder charges.
Hell I even get people cancelling Lizzo for how hard she fangirls about Chris Brown after everything that prick has done.
But it doesn’t seem like Pyle is hurting, raping, financially (profanity) over, stalking, harassing, or even stanning out over people who do not those things, beyond what any Ned Flanders esque Christian does anyway.
He’s not using his platform to be shitty to trans women or to recruit people to his beliefs. Assuming we believe the information available - he doesn’t even vote for people that are in favour of the one particularly shitty thing he apparently privately believes.
We only know that he tweeted something shitty before he had an audience, and he’s only got one joke and one drawing with incredibly tiny variations.
I super get not caring for his work. But it feels like actually giving a shit about long term hating him for a five year old tweet and the implied belief that he’s subsequently kept completely to himself, might be more energy than the problematic behaviour really requires.
Reading the board game geeks reviews, it does seem like the game is super lame though.
ok
I’m happy for you.
Or I’m sorry that happened.
Good people make bad things, bad people make good things. Get over it.
Doesn’t rate well, I’d say unless you are a fan save the shelf space.
