Even if I both played the game and saw the series before the book, the game version of Geralt would pop up in my minds eye as I imagined the story. That is, until I got to the sex scenes where Cavill took over.
I pondered if this made me bi, but I quickly realized this is normal behavior for all sexual orientations.
On a tangent it just goes to show you how terribly they mishandled the DC movies that a literal ‘no u’ uno reverse card of sexuality that is Henry Cavill was starring in them and running around in what should have been a skin tight body suit and still nobody wanted to go watch them. The man will literally print you money if you let him and they couldn’t even get over their undeserved egos enough to let him do his job properly.
I haven’t played Witcher or read the books, but in the shows fucking Henry Cavill. Even straight men want to throw themselves to him
No we don’t.
We just want to hang out with him. And play PC games. And nerd out about D&D. And talk about his movies. And snuggle with him. And feel him up. And maybe lick his chest.
I think you underestimate the attraction of somebody who is proven to be infertile and immune to all STDs in the middle ages. Its basically a completely risk free one night stand.
My favourite part of the books is how everyone thinks and assumes Geralt is an emotionless mutant, and he plays up that image. meanwhile he’s the most capricious, emotional child when he’s upset or hurt lol
Geralt is a magically inclined mutant which is particularly attractive to the other witches as they are 90+ years old as is Geralt so plain human partners are barely more than plaything to them
There are a lot of beautiful women in Geralt’s orbit, but in my playthrough, I started off romancing Yennifer, but then Triss comes around, sparks fly, and I decided to see if I could be with both of them, seems like something they’d be into. Well, everything is going well, it seems like we might be about to consummate our thruple, things start getting real steamy, and then BOOM, they were just fucking with you, but won’t fuck you. You have to choose. It was such a hilarious and well-executed bait and switch. Though that was just my playthrough.
In addition to what the others commented, most (all?) of the attractive female lead characters are wearing the MOST RIDICULOUS tops ever. For some reason, women in the world of the witcher prefer shirts that are unbuttoned just in the boob region, or have a DEEP V-cut in them, or are just totally unbuttoned.
Don’t get me wrong, I love boobies as much as the next guy, but so many of the outfits just look impractical - especially for martial characters.
There is a technical lore reason though, most of the hot women are sorceresses, and can basically change their appearances at will. They tend to be hot women because it makes for easier social lives. Otherwise they are all 90 year old crones.
They look like that because the primarily male, hetero audience wants to see this. Let’s not come up with in-lore reasons why female characters are sexualised the way they are
In the show you literally see Yennefer go from fugly to beautiful because being sexualized is useful if you’re of a gender nobody usually listens to in the middle ages.
It’s a fantasy setting. Nobodies stopping the show runners from straying away from how things were in the middle ages. If that’s too unrealistic to you, I have a feeling magic, monsters, and witchers might be reality-breaking for you too (not literally you - second person plural you)
The point is that it’s part of the social commentary of the whole thing. If you could look however you want, would you not want to look hot and young? And wouldn’t it also help with surviving in a bleak patriarchal world?
The whole story of the Witcher is partly about how you have to be an all powerful strong woman who can literally set things on fire with her mind, and also look like a bombshell, to even have a chance at a semblance of power. And even so, you are looked at as an abomination, and are at best a second fiddle to the inept bloodthirsty kings, who will kill you if you ever show signs of independent thought.
What’s the context behind the original image? Is the girl in the car holding a handful of pet food!? Why is she so anguished? Why is the other girl pressing her tits against the window?
This is photoshopped from 2 different pictures. If I recall properly the woman on the right is sacred by an animal entering its head into the car to get food (I don’t remember the specifics animal, maybe a giraffe?).
I don’t like the Witcher because I want to be faithful to Triss, but as soon as Yennefer shows up, all my player choices are disregarded. 5/10, will not play again.
Man, you put a lot of effort into these every day. I reckon I’d click in more if you put some of the interesting content in the titles. IMO move your title bit to the body. Keep up the good work :)
to be honest I’ve been struggling the past few days to figure out what to play because I have parts for my first Gaming Rig on the way. So I want to save all the “good” stuff for that lol. I was honestly a bit worried my screenshots these past few days have been lacking.
I’ve considered moving the title to the post, but some people have said they like guessing the games and I’d like to avoid spoiling it for them, otherwise I would start doing unique titles. I think if I ever end up stopping though, I’ll probably start doing unique titles for when I occasionally pop in and share an isolated post
Thank you! I’m a bit nervous despite checking all my work to make sure everything fits and i got everything i need. Sadly, I just got notified some of the parts won’t be here until early February though so my Steam Deck gets to suffer through half a month of being forced to push 1080p-4K resolutions
With Wii vs. 8/8 Deluxe i feel like they’re very samey. Not that it’s a bad thing. When i pop in Mario Kart i usually just want to play basic Mario Kart without much work, so the Switch usually wins out because i don’t need to hunt down 3 different cables and worry about the disc getting scratched lol. Granted, Wii has it’s own unique things too it. But it’s very rare for me personally that i want to play with those unique things over just normal Mario Kart.
I still have a lot of Nostalgia for Wii though because it’s the one i grew up playing, so if both 8 and Wii are just as easy to setup (such as with Emulation), i’ll usually go for Wii.
Mario Kart Wii is very cool, it has some of the best tracks and very fun physics. And I know it’s been a bit of joke online, but the wheel style motion controls were actually fine too.
Though I understand why they toned down the tricks and nerfed bikes in 7 and 8. They were fun, but a bit much.
The mario kart wii community is still very active. The retro rewind mod on dolphin makes playing online super easy, and adds tons of new tracks. Totally worth checking out.
It’s definitely something I keep meaning to check out. I keep putting it off until I set my Wii U back up so I can get a pretty close to authentic experience, but I never end up doing it because I can’t find the power cable
