By Yurtlicious Go To Postwhat a rabbit hole that was lmao I'm too high for usIt was a shitty time following the game with excitement and then slowly realizing it was awful for just a large amount of reasons.
This is a decent explainer about why the game was bad and why the author was bad:
Matt McFarland, AKA Black Hat Matt, was a freelance writer for White Wolf, and later Onyx Path Publishing. He and Rose created Demon the Descent in 2014 and it was incredibly well received. After Demon was released Matt pitched his idea for Beast: the Primordial, the elevator pitch is "You're a person with the soul of an ancient monster, like a dragon, or a gorgon." and given his tenure on Demon people were pretty optimistic. The Kickstarter draft came out and Beasts were actually incredibly petty, very rapey, did not actually transform into dragons or gorgons, and were coded as LGBT/Minorities. Also they exude what we have dubbed the "Poochy field" that makes all the other supernaturals love them. This wouldn't be too bad except for their enemies were also rather obviously themed as gamergaters, MRAs, and white supremacists. To the point that Matt straight up compared his detractors to MRAs. A press release promised that they'd fix the wording in the actual release.
The actual release came out, it had incredibly weak justifications for what Beasts do, and only the most superficial changes. Then when you got to the Storyteller chapter the sidebars straight up say that all the changed shit are 'lies' and that Beasts are actually super awesome and justified and everyone loves them for being the awesome woke hell rapists that they are. The subsequent releases for Beast varied in quality depending on the author, raging from people rightly shitting on beasts for not being open with who and what they are, or polishing Beast's knob so hard their lips fell off.
Then a few months ago during the wave of women coming out and admitting that they had been raped, it came out that Matt raped someone roughly 10 years ago. He did not contest the claims, willingly stepped down as a moderator on RPG.net, then RPG.net banned him and OPP Quietly cut ties.
So yeah, the reason why Beasts are written as hyper woke rapists? Because it was written by a rapist who desperately wants people to think he's actually a woke ally.

That site also has some good writeups of a bunch of different tabletop rpg games, both good and bad. Usually written with a sense of humor.
Some GT7 infos for the GT bois:
- Game has A LOT of single-player content (probably more than GT5 and 6)
- AI gets harder as you level up.
- AI cars have custom parts.
- Driving missions from GT4 are back, but are now called "Magic Missions"
New mod stuff:
- Bore-ups
- Anti-lag
- Widebody kits
- Paintable roll cages
- Lip kits compatible with widebody kits
- Headlight adjustments
- Tow hooks
- Spoilers
- Decals on windows
- Massive rim selection
- Offset and wheel width adjustment options
This is so cool
You know, I've always wondered if writers somewhat incorporate their fantasies into their stories, its kinda why it was so comfortable for me reading one of the most popular fantasy books. And thanks I appreciate the site!!

Sony remains the market leader when it comes to driving spend, accounting for 46% of all revenues generated in the console market. Meanwhile, Nintendo's share dropped to 29% – 2% less than in 2020 – while Microsoft rose 1% to 25%.
