I thought of a third gripe! I would have preferred to play this game in Japanese, but only the main story lines are translated. Being loving to your horse or overhearing villagers talking about your deeds is totally lost in playing with just subtitles. You really need the dialogue to be in your native tongue to get the full story and atmosphere. Every spoken word should have been subtitled and translated. This is an accessibility issue, too. Deaf people just don't get to experience that part of the game.

That's fair, I loved that side of things, too. I'm more talking about the conspicuous and samey cliffs that look and feel a little too contrived, strictly made for gameplay purposes like creating paths, blocking off areas, providing platforming challenges and assassination opportunities. They were overused and unnatural looking sometimes.
Larger than life beauty for beauty's sake is done so well, in that game, it's an amazing experience, the overuse of little cliffs everywhere is really my only gripe. I spend more time walking on my horse along paths than I do galloping straight to my destination. I like just soaking it all in. I'm playing it right now for the first time; I did the first act and the DLC, I'm about a quarter of the way tbrough the second act now. Loving it.
Edit: Oh I do have a second gripe, but with the DLC, and it's the same gripe I have with all DLC. It was obviously written by the B team, the writing is less subtle and everything is a bit more extreme. Still a good time, but just a wee notch lower in writing quality than the main story.
The world design is very gamey in Tsushima. A bunch of platforming jungle gyms with landscape filler in-between. Such a beautiful game, I would wish it looked more realistic. More Red Dead, less Far Cry.
Mylar balloons should be outlawed. They get sent free and land on power lines WAY too often. Over a thousand mylar balloon caused power outages are recorded in just Southern California alone in a typical year. The cost of repairing the damage might even exceed the revenue of mylar balloon sales.
Lesbian parents have been around for a long time. Some men can be pregnant and give birth. But I assume you mean the issue being that they'd be alone, not the lack of a male parent. Being a single parent when you weren't expecting to is hard. But of you're prepared and equipped for it, go nuts. IVF is given to awful married parents. The parents' aptitide isn't a factor for couples, why should a standard suddenly exist for single people?
I only date women, for context. I'm a sucker for really crisp diction.
And pretty bad.
Look upon my works and despair.
IE had a near monopoly on browsing for a long time after Netscape Navigator enshittified (the true first door).
We have those MAID pods in Canada, why not just buy a few of them? Not cruel enough?
MAGA goons pretended to beat this man because of a conspiracy theory that he was diverting their relief funds to migrant families. He was not. The video of the incident is actually from a 2023 brawl between a security gaurd and a woman.
