I kind of love those, but they are definitely excessively used.

It wasn’t a game I played at the time, but I really enjoyed going back to play it last year.
-Spoiler- The strongest moment in the game uses the control scheme as story and character development. Only the older brother can swim. After he’s died, you hit a dead end with deep water in the way. You use the older brother’s control stick to swim through it, relying on what he left you with.
I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what’s going on here. There is an open league and a league restricted to women only.
Without a women’s league, there are fewer women seen playing, which reinforces the perception that it’s not a sport for women, which creates this feedback loop leading to a smaller pool of women playing chess, thus fewer grand masters who are women. I see value in creating more space for women in chess to create more opportunities for following generations.
I don’t like excluding trans women. I can imagine an argument that we’re not ready for this until we get to a place where we don’t think to distinguish between trans and cis women. A women’s league in 2023 that a young cis girl is watching that had 3 cis women and 97 trans women, still may look to that young girl like a league for trans women, and not a league for all women that they can see themselves competing in. Personally, I enjoyed watching a marginalized gender eSports competition, and I don’t think the presence of trans women invalidated the impact it could have inspiring young cis girls to pick up gaming.
Not OP, but most of what I watch is on Youtube as well except for Lindsay Ellis and The Great War.
