hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

But its enough for a download

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

Don't ask me if there is I didn't ask him

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

Technically I still have a ton of games I need to play

#

But I havent properly started anything yet

wide ember Apr 7, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

I have plenty of Fire Emblem games and Shin Megami Tensei games, those are very replayable

#

I also haven't gone past the tutorial in god of war

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

I have five games installed with the plot at the middle

#

Although now I'm trying to finish the Outer Wilds

#

I'm sad I think I found the twist too soon

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

What do you think it is?

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

The Supernova was caused by ||The fact the Heat Death of the Universe is VERY imminent||

#

||So all the stars are dying including the Sun are dying||

#

Which means ||No more Rites||

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

Wait, ||rites||?

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

||It's a Pyre joke||

wide ember Apr 7, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

(oh hey it's my spoiler temptation moment... gotta resist until I play the game)

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

Ohh

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Also at first I thought Outer Wilds and Outer Worlds were the same game

#

Again still in the middle and that twist I discovered because SPECULATION of an NPC

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

I see

#

Its not what my first guess was, I can tell you that

wide ember Apr 7, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

don't tell me that it's going to be a "a sentient star is dying" kind of story

#

I'm saying this because it feels thematically similar-ish to sunless skies

#

without the option to romance non-binary space bats, I assume

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

Also, Interloper is a funny word

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

Its a nice word

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

I still have to visit the ||Sun Station|| so I think the truth will be there

hasty kernel Apr 7, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

Is that the only place you havent visited?

fervent zenith Apr 7, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

That and the Meteorite all the rest I gave VISITED once at least

#

Although I'm not getting closer to the angler Fish until I'm throughout on the rest

#

I'm on the twin planets as of now

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

@mild fossil I bought the MMZ/ZX Collection on PC because I adore the MMX series so much, but I'm really not feeling the reversion to 16-or-whatever-GBA-was bits.

#

You got any words of advice?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

you mean the music

#

or the artstyle

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

Artstyle more.

#

The movement also felt a little off.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

nothing you can do about it except turning the filter on

#

MMZ series is a whole different beast

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

I've been told that the series really hits its stride in Z3.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

I would say yeah

#

but 1 and 2 has its charm

#

Z3 is a bit... too OP for me

#

I mean the player is too OP

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

Should I just skip to 3 and come back to 1 or 2, or will the gameplay advances ruin it for me?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

so if you find a way to cheese the boss

#

you will absolutely cheese them to death

#

just start with 2

#

1 literally will feel like sticking your lower part into a grinder

#

if you're not used to the mechanic

#

also MMZ has a combo system

#

which means you can hit the boss during their invincibility

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

I did my bit to cheese MMX4 and 5 with dash-canceling slashes (until Skiver ruins that in 5), but I liked to think I beat the rest of 4, 5, and 6 legimitately.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:22 AM

#

cheesing in Mega Man Zero isn't like X

#

because in X series I hate the fact that the invincibility lasts super long

#

so you either cheese or spent an eternity fighting them

#

in Mega Man Zero it's more like you have to be sorta skillful to do that because you have to land a combo

#

at least from 3 onward because on 3 you can cancel your triple slash into EX skills

#

4 is a whole different beast because Zero got the knuckle

#

which by itself is fine

#

but it can steals weapons from your enemies

#

so you get a lot of complex stage and platforming clear with the weapon you choose

#

like in some stage there's an axe enemy that you can grab its axe off

#

which deals WAY more damage than the Saber

#

or you can get a shield off the metts and be a lot safer

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

Yeah, that's the kind of gameplay complications I want!

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

also 4 is majorly disliked for the crafting system I think

#

the drop rate is wildly different

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

I'm just a little worried it won't translate well considering it was originally a GBA game.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

for some reason

#

ah I played it on the switch and I must say it translates really well

#

and Z4 has that knuckle because Zero only has 3 weapons

#

unlike the 123

#

1 he has the spear and the shield

#

2 has the chain rod and the shield

#

3 has the tonfas and the shield

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

I've been playing Hollow Knight on keyboard and I really like it.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

the reason 4 is like that is because they said they're on a mobile base and can't give zero his weapons

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

Well, that's not a huge issue.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

but the actual reason is that 4 is meant to be a prequel

#

but then they changed and make it the final game

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

...........But it has the end of the saga.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

minor spoiler because 4 is meant to be a transition between 1 and 2

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

I'm mostly aware of 3's and 4's stories, and they work very well as finales.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

when Zero fought alone

#

but 3 ended on a cliffhanger

#

so fan was like well we want to know how it ends

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

Metal Gearing. residentzag

#

(parrot exposition)

hushed zenith Apr 7, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

Metal Gearing?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

I must say the fact that the game still isn't voiced is the biggest bummers

hushed zenith Apr 7, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

(I'm sorry)

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

because they have an entire drama CD as voice for the dialouges in game

#

in case you don't know, it's practically Audible for videogames

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

I was about to link the TVTropes article.

hushed zenith Apr 7, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

it was a really bad joke im sorry

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

and someone made videos with the cutscene and the drama CD voices

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

No, it was magnificent.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

it was really nice

#

it was a good joke

#

sorry I am monolouging again

#

dusa

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

"You sly dog!"

#

See, I was watching this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZKqkX_3Wbc) and I hadn't seen a cliffhanger yet.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

oh

#

Oh you kinda get the big ole' spoiler

#

if you didn't know

#

the game really hints on it heavily at start to finish

#

with members of resistance telling you

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

||Zero's death?||

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

"You're truly the legendary Hero"

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

Oh, I've known that for years.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

"the proof that you're fighting for us means you can't be anything else"

#

then every bosses are like

#

you're nothing but an ancient piece of junk

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

The Mega Man X series was one of my absolute favorite game series growing up, especially X5.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

you really don't know do you

#

etc

#

and it goes on to the big reveal

#

that Zero isn't really Zero

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

So I troped the crap out of the Zero series since I didn't have it to play on-hand.

#

Debatable.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

at least the body

#

it's the heart that counts

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

The way I see it is that the programs that are "Zero" are the same.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

yeah

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

It would be like a Freaky Friday switch and waking up in someone's body.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

that's why I said the game build up to that point

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

Your memories, your personality are still Schpoonman, or Red Man, we're just traipsing around in Silvaria's skin.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

Cerveau has a dialouge that says you are the Hero based on your action alone

#

not who you are

#

anyway major spoiler but

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

See, that may have been part of why I never finished Bioshock 1, because the big spoiler was ruined and the gameplay didn't hold up.

#

BRB

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Zero wasn't waking up in anybody else body

#

it was meant to be his

#

it's just a copy

#

because the old body is for some freaky experiment

#

and was stolen to turn into Omega

#

that's the idea

#

and X and Zero fought Omega

#

which leads to Zero's new body being half destroyed

#

Omega sent to space

#

etc

#

fast forward to MMZ1 where Ciel found him

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

My understanding of the backstory is that Zero's X body, which Omega is supposedly inhabiting, is mechanically superior to his Z body.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

yeah it's Zero's body from Mega Man X

#

which was modified by the big bad

#

it's the one in MMX6

#

if you remember the ending

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

The reason it's visually identical is because of GBA limitations and modifications by Dr. Weil.

#

I do!

#

Some dudebro helped Zero enter stasis so the Maverick Virus would finally be purged.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

and Zero was practically built from copying it

#

dudebro was Weil by some speculation

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

In the X6 ending?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

yeah

#

since Weil was the one who created the vaccine for Maverick Virus

#

the Mother Elf

#

and Mother Elf born from Zero's body

#

so people drew the connection

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

Oh, man, Japanese voiceovers with the cutscenes, I haven't seen these in at least a literal decade.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

when you get to Mega Man ZX it's even wilder

#

Mahou Shoujo

#

but with Mega Men

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

Any time I see "Mahou Shoujo" I can only think of "Mahou Shoujo of the End."

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

yeah I mean it's not overly edgy like that one

#

but it gets really dark

#

soon

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

Darker than X?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

X was light af compared to Zero

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

shadesweat

#

X was already pushing complete extinction of the human race.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

MMZ plotline is practically existentialism packed into a game

#

also yeah

#

MMZ you fight against humanity basically

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

I know it gets close in Z3 and 4, but didn't X5 already brush on that?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

due to reploid genocide

#

energy crisis > reploid genocide

#

you fight the human race to stop reploid genocide

#

etc etc

#

and you finally stopped it

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

Is it the human race or is it one ridiculously racist human?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

the remaining human race

#

on Neo Arcadia

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

Because Ciel and every human still fighting with the Resistance support you.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

the place that X built and ruled

#

Ciel is the only human in the resistance

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

X's rule was corrupted by Copy X.

#

Oh, really?

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

which opposed the rule

#

yeah

#

she was the one who built copy X

#

so she felt responsible

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

Neo Arcadia was supposed to be a proper utopia, but Copy X going effectively maverick threw a wrench in that.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

yeah

#

which then they found a solution

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

Okay, I'll reinstall Z/ZX and give it another shot.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

give reploid a life span

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Because my goodness this story is good.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

and give humans mechanical bodies

#

in Mega Man ZX basically

#

so everyone lived in peace

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Yeah, which always threw me for a loop when I was reading about ZX, because giving up stringless immortality sounds like the worst possible decision any sentient being could ever make.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

you can see andrew in MMZ3

#

he was a reploid falling in love with a human woman

#

they married but she grew old and he doesn't

#

so he asked to be modified into an old reploid to match her

#

as Wolverine said it, living long enough and you run out of things to live for

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

Agreed.

#

Which is why the fact that every living being has an off-switch that can be accessed at any time makes me struggle to understand why anyone would willingly choose mortality.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

energy and population crisis

#

definitely

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

I get that.

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

I think mortality give us a sense of urgency

#

which is sorta valuable if you ask me

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

For some, I'm sure.

#

And I would never dream of telling someone else how to live their life.

#

I'm coming from a very outside perspective on the matter, I'm sure.

#

But if someone gave me a button and said "You push this button and you will live until you push it again," you could not stop me from pushing that button the first time unless you killed me.

#

Because I've always got the option of pushing it again and opting out!

mild fossil Apr 7, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

man having that button will really kill me

#

because I get stressed out easily and bam I will be dead instantly

#

instead of just spending 30 minutes solving the problem

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

We all end up dead, anyway.

#

What matters is that each person spends their life as they see fit.

#

I'm an anti-natalist, so if someone decides to tap out at 13 years, they're as right in their decision as someone who decides they've had enough at 80.

#

Mind you, there's a lot to see in the world and I encourage everyone to really give their all, but if someone decides they don't want to live anymore, it's their life, not mine.

I have no idea why, but that's what it does.

flat prism Apr 7, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

horizon is great

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

I watched a decent chunk of a playthrough on Twitch and did my fair share of TVTrope digging.

#

But oh my heck it looks like it'll be incredible on PC.

#

I just hope I get the chance to upgrade from my 2015 build before it comes out.

sudden torrent Apr 7, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

Fun thing is that I actually played it at my friend's house a bit on ps4 in 2019

#

and I honestly wonder how they will rework some mechanics

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

Old roommate got it on release, but I didn't watch any gameplay until last year.

flat prism Apr 7, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

they're going to rework stuff?

#

i mean, i'm not even close to finishing it but

#

doesn't feel like anything is massively broken

sudden torrent Apr 7, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

I am talking about the whole "listen to your controller"

flat prism Apr 7, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

ooh

#

isn't that only for the like

#

focus thing

sudden torrent Apr 7, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

yeah it is

#

I think, been a while since I played imao

flat prism Apr 7, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

i mean, same way mgs5 did it

#

just have the thing play through your headphones/tv

#

hell i disabled it halfway through on my mgs5 playthrough because yea it was kinda annoying from one point on

#

especially when you were stuck at that mission efn 17

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

I've had the game horizon on my ps4

#

but my annoying room mate lost the disk

#

and i'm like.. ya know that came out of my pocket right?

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

Ooh, you're more about living than I am.

#

I hope you got some reimbursement.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

she offered some of her ps4 games but I wasn't interested in those? I haven't even played the game yet and she had already lost it a week after I bought it

#

it's really annoying when your room mates lose your own stuff

#

like just the other day she was in my room for no apparent reason and vomited on my bed

#

no reason for her to be in my bedroom AT ALL?

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

I've not been a tremendous roommate in the past, but I haven't ever burned their cash like that.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:16 AM

#

I can't exactly afford rent on my own with how expensive it is.. especially in Florida.. and it depends where you live in Florida too

#

like if I could.. I wouldn't miss the opportunity to live on my own

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

Oh, yeah, if money were not an object I would absolutely not be living with my dad.

sudden torrent Apr 7, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

only thing that probably makes me feel meh about roommates is when they don't clean up their place. And that's only thing I have stumbled upon really.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

Wok I feel the same way about that.. I had to clean up after her vomit

#

like multiple times

#

since she tends to get a bit too drunk

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

Like, maybe with a partner, but the 8-ish months on which I lived my own were awesome in terms of freedom.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

I'm just here trying to live man

#

it's not typically a good idea to live with a partner

#

I learned that lesson when I lived with my boyfriend for not even 6 months

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

Hence the emphasis on "maybe".

sudden torrent Apr 7, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

Oh I like when there are like not 3 other people in the same room with me atm in this apartment considering it's one room with kitchen and bathroom.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

but ya my ex was a mess

#

a true slob

#

and I actually thought I knew him better than everyone else.. apparently not?

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

I've had one partner in my 27 years, and it was a high school girlfriend my senior year of high school.

#

So: Not advocating a big mess of people.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

I've had like maybe 3 in the past year since moving out from my parents place

#

and honestly I think I just might be asexual

#

but i'm still gay for sure

#

past year has definitely been really confusing for me

#

had to move like 5 different times

#

and I still plan on moving out because I can't stand my current room mates

odd grove Apr 7, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

I had an gf

#

She was possibly the worst first girlfriend possible to have

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

I've had a girlfriend too just to experiment and I wasn't into her that much

#

that girl would only want to go on dates with me so I could feed her and pay for everything myself

odd grove Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

Nah she was pretty and stuff

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

ended the relationship within 2 months

odd grove Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

But honestly her personality and attitude, was just... Awful

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

my room mate is similar i guess

odd grove Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

Too arrogant, demands a lot of me while providing nothing

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

has a pretty face but her personality isn't that great

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

I definitely knew I was straight very young. First girlfriend was even very pretty. But she was also extremely Christian and I just cannot deal with religion anymore.

odd grove Apr 7, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

I mean religion is fine when kept in line

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

mate my room mate.. she tried hooking up with me

#

but you can't do that to a gay man?

#

crossing a fine line right there

#

can't wait to move out within the next 2 weeks

odd grove Apr 7, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

Dang

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

No, religion needs to get bent.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

I'm not a fan of religious either

To be fair, a relationship also asks you to tolerate religion?

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

Not tolerate.

limpid tide Apr 7, 2020, 9:26 AM

there's a difference between tolerating it.. though

flat prism Apr 7, 2020, 9:26 AM

how did this go from horizon to religion

faint panther Apr 7, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

Christianity demands its adherents not be yoked with non-believers.

what really bothers me though is our 3ds are both the same color

my 3ds doesn't have the small bar code on the back of it

tranquil bay Apr 7, 2020, 9:39 PM

ace refers to asexuality

you can absolutely be a lesbian and experience little to no sexual interest

I thought lesbian was also a sexuality, i.e. not a romantic orientation?

tall owl Apr 7, 2020, 9:41 PM

It can be both ways, but if you specify ace + lesbian it gets clearer

I mean, there is Ace, and Aro

ace and aro refer mostly to sexual and romantic attraction, not like... what or who the attraction involves, necessarily

@limpid tide If judging by your Twitter account, one would assume you to be gay tbh.

limpid tide Apr 8, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

@gaunt valley I'm more into the romantic aspect of a relationship with another man

gaunt valley Apr 8, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

So you'd have to find another ace who feels the same?

limpid tide Apr 8, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

ya it's a struggle finding another gay man who feels the same way.. because if you're missing that specific part in a relationship then they usually don't last long unless both parties feel the same way

gaunt valley Apr 8, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

I find it hard enough to find a sincere partner among gays already. Dating apps are horrible and in a small town like this there's hardly any locations to meet people. Plus I hate pubs and bars.

limpid tide Apr 8, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

I feel the same way.. but I'm also demisexual so I would first need to create an emotional bond with someone before I could be attracted to them or date them

#

so dating apps are a no for me and anyone who goes to pubs or bars are only looking for one night stands so that's also a no for me

gaunt valley Apr 8, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

How can you be asexual and demisexual at the same time?

limpid tide Apr 8, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

I wouldn't say i'm exactly demisexual.. maybe demiace? I just can't see myself being attracted to anyone unless there's an emotional bond between us

wide ember Apr 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

basically, the priority is to get bonding and intimacy, and intimacy requires bonding first? and after intimacy then comes kissing and the stuff?

limpid tide Apr 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

I think kissing is as far as i'd go

maybe cuddling

We have a series of podcasts/novels/audiobooks that is full of leftist critique and popular among the youth. It recently got a movie adaptation and somehow my conservative parents don't seem to grasp that it's them who are made fun of.

limpid tide Apr 8, 2020, 12:42 AM

it's like insulting someone in a language they don't know

it's kinda funny

gaunt valley Apr 8, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

I think differently. Besides, explaining things is tedious. Because they will ask.

wide ember Apr 8, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

just a matter of they don't have enough introspection to know it's them that it's satirizing and just like the activity of pointing fingers and laugh at someone?

gaunt valley Apr 8, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Probably. Some jokes can be funny on a very superficial level, especially if one does not get all the references to philosophy and leftist thought.

#

There's an abridged international version of that series as well, but a lot of humour didn't make it because of its reliance on German pop culture or because it's lost in translation. It's still funny tho, I think.

She is one of the hardest bosses

There is one attack in particular that always gets me

When she throws out the circling saws and then splits the area in 4

I can never guess what area will not have a saw in it

serene tulip Apr 8, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

the big area will always have the saw

#

but its also the safest

#

because you can always just run around in a circle for the duration

OK, it might not always have a saw

but its definitely the better bet than trying the smaller ones and getting screwed

I normally draw a little bit when I get a chance

Does anyone have any game recommendations of what I should try if I really like how the combat in Hades feels? Looking for a game with combat that has a quick flow, not something that feels heavy and animation-based like Dark Souls. I've never known what to try.

Hyper light drifter or wizard of legend.

faint panther Apr 9, 2020, 6:46 AM

It is not at all like Dark Souls.

#

The simple fact that it has permadeath completely removes the one thing that is truly "Dark Souls" in having to recollect money/EXP on death.

#

I have a love/hate relationship with Dead Cells.

I blasted 72 hours into it in two and a half months (only a week of that was in quarantine) because it's one of the crispiest-handling and funniest games I've ever played.

I think I figured out why I don't like Karen memes

#

Like, I've always never really liked them

#

but now I think I know exactly why.

#

They make fun of women who stand up for themselves.

#

Now I'll agree that some extreme examples are of women that go overboard

#

But when you're making fun of people who go, "My name is Karen and I don't like these memes" because, "lol, she's such a karen this is so selfawarewolves"

#

Its not really fun anymore, its bullying.

#

and its definitely not empowering

#

anyhow, \rant

toxic steppe Apr 9, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

I don't know, I don't think acting entitled = standing up for yourself, and I'm almost certain every single Karen meme that I've personally seen has been in reference to how self-entitled a person (ie the Karen in whatever given context) is acting.

tranquil cloud Apr 9, 2020, 6:25 PM

The attitude about Karens makes me really hesitant to speak up in a customer service setting even when I’m clearly in the right

There's a fine line between speaking up and acting like you're better than the person you're speaking up to.

tranquil cloud Apr 9, 2020, 6:27 PM

Every single time I’m asking for anything to be fixed (which isn’t very often but it happens) I’m consistently like “I’m not trying to be that kind of customer, I just think this should be resolved, etc etc”

I work in the service industry and I've never encountered somebody that's been an a-hole and immediately thought "wow this person is being such a Karen".

Yeah I don’t treat people like crap, even when I’m frustrated I just express that “this is frustrating, I know you’re doing your best and it’s not your fault, but you can see why this would be aggravating from my perspective, right?”

I tend to only bother with something if it IS a big deal that really matters, so chances are I will get somewhat emotional but I go out of my way to make it clear that it’s not directed AT them

I always clarify that it's the policies I'm mad at, not them as an individual.

Honestly I feel like that's been useful in getting me better service too lol

Like at the end of December somehow my four year old figured out how to input the password on my amazon tv and bought $80 worth of peppa pig episodes

#

And amazon as a rule does not like to refund digital purchases so I was freaking out a bit

#

So I was just honest about how I was embarrassed and frazzled about the whole thing (I caught it within 2 weeks, but still) and they ended up being really helpful

serene tulip Apr 9, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

I just think that "acting like you're better than the person you're speaking up to" is incredibly subjective

tranquil cloud Apr 9, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

That’s true... someone’s not “acting entitled” when they literally are entitled to whatever it is they’re asking for lol

serene tulip Apr 9, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

To put it in other words, "Stop acting above your station"

toxic steppe Apr 9, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Yeah, I acknowledged that already. I said there's a fine line between acting entitled and speaking up when you're actually in the right.

#

It's case by case, but most of the Karen memes I've seen have been used to mock the former and not the latter. Then again, I don't see a large amount of Karen memes so I might not have seen the best representation of them overall.

mild pelican Apr 9, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

for several years i've lived in a country, where a certain male name has been a meme.. it was used towards some slacking employees or just unreliable persons.. and also bearers of that name

toxic steppe Apr 9, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Yeah, no. This is just bullying, not even a usage of the meme.

mild pelican Apr 9, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

on my GD run the armour knights are only usable because I have two magic users with Warp whenever they are present

velvet fjord Apr 9, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

I'm pretty sure half of the "defeat enemy commander" missions in the second half of the game were ended by lysithea just warping claude across the map so he can snipe whoever the commander was

wide ember Apr 9, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

so that's why they designed a map with 3 enemy commanders

#

or was it four

#

still, claude could just use the canto to fly out, and get re-warped again later

velvet fjord Apr 9, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

I haven't played the ~~war crime~~ black eagle route yet but it's telling that the moment I hit the timeskip my mission mvps always were claude or dimitri

#

I can only hope edelgard is the same level of power

wide ember Apr 9, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

I still find it ironic that edelgard, the one who should have researched the most due to have been victim of [spoilers], ended up being so misinformed and waging war against all the wrong people

velvet fjord Apr 9, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

I can go on for a long time on why edelgard is really bad even before the war kicks off
she has sorta kinda the right idea but goes about it in the worst possible way

wide ember Apr 9, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

and I feel really bad for dimitri

#

he's the victim in this whole war no matter which path byleth takes

velvet fjord Apr 9, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

oh yeah definitely

wide ember Apr 9, 2020, 11:26 PM

(ok dimitri why you also pull this straight thing with me why can't I marry you if I'm male)

velvet fjord Apr 9, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

(same with claude)

#

I don't get why they made edelgard marriable for both byleths but left out the other two lords

then again there's only like...3 male gay options, 1 being DLC and 1 being route locked

dimitri I can understand
plus imo female byleth is canon for blue lions

and my next GD playthrough I will have to contend between choosing claude or lorenz...

#

or marianne

marianne

#

she's great once she's past the low self-esteem phase

velvet fjord Apr 10, 2020, 12:02 AM

oh yeah I really warmed up to her

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

though marianne is really great with hilda so...

velvet fjord Apr 10, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

claude and marianne got paired in my playthrough

my problem is that I went with bernadetta my first time, and oh lord that was a mistake, they handled her character so poorly in the s support

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

ouch, never tried or wanted to romance bernadetta so I dodged that

#

I initially wanted to romance Rhea when I just got the game but then the reveal of Byleth's identity happened

velvet fjord Apr 10, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

ohhh yeah

#

I knew that some of the s supports were platonic but not which ones

I took a massive gamble by picking ||sothis|| in BL, and that gamble did not pay off in a major way so I reloaded a save and redid the final map just to go with ashe instead

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

with Lin at least it was stated clearly that Lin is Byleth's husband regardless of Byleth's gender

#

so that one's romantic

velvet fjord Apr 10, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

I've heard ||Jeritza|| actually has one of the best ones in the game
so I'll probably go with them next time

Oh, damn who meta

Re: above discussion
Either make them all bisexual or make some true gay characters as well. The current state is just double standard: Wish fulfillment for straights, but "realism" for the gays. Just my 2 cents.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

realistically, 46% of men had experienced same-gender attraction or outright action so a realistic fe3h should let my male byleth date a whole house worth of characters

@hasty kernel So, for the details, I just refreshed my memory: Merkel lifted the Fraktionszwang, the informal obligation of members of the faction to vote as a bloc, for her own faction on this case, so conservatives could vote according to their very own opinion on the matter.
It was part of Merkels strategy to appeal to the largest group of people, so she took a lot of social democratic and green positions and included them into her policies, e.g. minimum wage, shutting down nuclear power plants etc.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 2:54 AM

smart move

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 2:54 AM

Due to Fraktionszwang.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

It takes a major event for a party to gain a boost, or lose a lot of voters

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

Right now, the search for her successor is still kinda underway, but it's already apparent that the new candidates will swing way more conservative than her. Annekgret Kramp-Karrenbauer already did so.

Lazy in which regard?

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 2:59 AM

Well, they can. It's just a matter of perception.

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:07 AM

Yes, Germans are very risk-averse. Probably due to their history.

Being at the border of the iron curtain makes you get a sense of reposibility.

#

Not to escalate things.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

risk aversion won't get big improvements quickly, but won't get new messes of disastrous level quickly either? I'm not against it

#

and sustainable improvements are often made with multiple smaller steps, so

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Basically

#

Risk-averse is less likely to result in a major shakeup that turns for the worse

#

But is ill-equipped for timely change

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Risk aversion is mostly expressed through a strong willingness to compromise and be diplomatic. But it's not a panacea, certain situations demand strong positions. Depends on the situation, I guess.

#

On human rights matters, I'd appreciate a clearer position for instance.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

you can't force the populace to just accept certain things though, the populace has to do it first, then the leadership adapts to such change

#

I mean, sometimes I really wish it's possible

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:13 AM

Theoretically.

Unfortunately, we live in a post-democracy.

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

It should be.

#

But multiple studies have shown that only a small fraction of the population is met with political responsivity, i.e. the willingness of political institutions to realize their wishes.

#

You may guess which economic class that is.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

That is typically because of their ability to shape the message

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

I'd name other reasons as more consequantial, but either way, it's the case.

#

I can dig up the studies if you will.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

I mightve seen them, or some version, before

#

My point is more that this is sadly also a feature of democracy

#

A flaw that took time to fully become clear

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

I would argue that if a flaw, then not a necessary one.

#

Or at least none that can't be limited in its effect.

#

Like, make big party donations illegal for instance.

faint panther Apr 10, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

I don't think a small group being able to unduly influence a population at large is a feature of democracy.

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

It does not influence the population, but the institutions.

faint panther Apr 10, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

They should not be able to unduly influence the institution, then.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

Its more that "those who can influence the population at large, can influence the government"

#

Since democracy derives its power from the masses, that is a feature

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

Theoretically.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

The problem is that in order to limit its effect, youd need to be able to stop it in the first place

#

At which point there would be no need to limit the effect

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

There are multiple layers of influence: private ownership of mass media, private funding of think tanks that consult political institutions, big party donations etc.

#

Some of that layers can be politically addressed.

#

For example, in Germany we have publicly funded media outlets as well that are not depending on corporate interests.

#

So there is independent information available that people can seek out.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

But its not advertised at all (I think)

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Very little.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Honestly not sure, everyone knows the ARD and ZDF

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Advertisement is very limited.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

But you dont see it anywhere else

#

Like, no posters or the like

#

It also doesnt "appeal to the masses" if you will

#

Its very matter of fact

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

words of mouth is very important for them, then

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

It's not just those two channels. There are multiple.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Well theyre the 2 big ones that go heavy into news

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

But ARD and ZDF are known by everyone here.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

I used to watch ZDF every friday for the "Heute Show"

#

Good old german satire

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Wait, you are German as well?

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Uh, yeah

#

Sorry if that wasnt clear, I thought it was

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Oh, okay.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

I thought you knew when he asked you if you are german

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Its perhaps why Im a bit more harsh with my countrymen

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

No, I didn't 😆

#

heute show is okay, I think. It suffices for dinner but the jokes are getting dry.

#

I'm also disappointed where Die Anstalt went.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

I havent watched heute show in a bit

#

But it used to be amazing when I did

#

But I havent really watched tv in general in ages

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

I only watch in the Mediathek, I don't have a TV.

#

And I know only two good shows from private TV: Genial Daneben and Switch Reloaded. Both not running anymore, sadly.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

how does tv work over there? do you have a set of "free" channels that only require an antenna to watch and need to pay the rest, or?

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Genial Daneben was great, yeah

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Publicly funded is available for everyone, private can be either financed through ads or be subscription-based.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

You do pay a fee that funds the public ones

#

But its mandatory in general IIRC?

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

Yes, it's mandatory per household.

#

But there's no entry barrier to watching.

#

I could even watch it when I was living abroad.

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

Yeah

#

Oh yeah, there is KiKa as well, a publically funded childrens channel

#

They had Bernd das Brot which was great

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

Yes, but I feel like it's going downhill in quality.

#

And they had Wissen macht Ah!

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

Und Löwenzahn

#

Dunno, havent watched anything on it

#

Other than the nightloop with Bernd das Brot

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

That's weirdly entertaining though 😆

#

So, where are people here from, if I may ask? My brain usually unconsciously assumes everybody to be American, but...

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

I mean yeah, its Bernd das Brot

#

I also have to say its a very german show

#

Given that Bernd has certain stereotypes about him associated with germans

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

I'm Canadian, on the east coast

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

So you speak French?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

yes

#

but a version that French people from France won't consider French

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

That's why you were aware of that cultural war there.

#

I see.

#

I think, Quebeqois use words like huitant, right?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

no that's the belge I think

hasty kernel Apr 10, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Oh hey, I didnt know that

#

That sol was Canadian, or that he could speak french

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

I learned it for one and a half years, forgot all of it unfortunately.

#

Someday Imma pick it up again.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

...guys Canadian French is really not, how to say that, a proper language? it's like a really messed up topolect

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

Like Creol?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

I haven't been exposed enough to Creol to know, let me try to remember

#

because it's not a simplified french, it's a complicated and bastardized french

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

Probably like Letzebuergesch and German.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

it preserved some really obscure old terms and expressions, and added new ones, and merged in tons of english loans words but not the way parisiens do it

#

like, nobody understands what the heck is a footing as spoken by them

#

and we swear so much?

#

and we are not okay with how the france french canadian citizens are messing up with our carefully planned voting strategies?

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

What do you mean?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

to a france french person, you use the polite form with strangers

#

use "vous" and stuff

#

we don't just use the informal "tu" with strangers, we add in so many casual swear words in the sentences

#

and it's not even offensive to us but it's just hella not okay to them

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

Like the Polish use "kurwa", I guess.

#

Well, but what do swearwords have to do with voting strategies?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

that's a separate issue

#

remember how I said that france french people are impulsive voters?

#

they just vote whoever sounds the most charismatic

#

that's not how we do it here

#

we carefully plan and inform others in subtle ways that we all vote for this guy, okay? and we do that

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

Did it work out in the past?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

so far yes

#

we rarely get surprised by voting results

#

it's usually very predictable

#

since we, you know, planned that

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

So you could just all agree and skip the voting itself, I guess.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

yeah but that's not the point I guess?

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

I was merely joking.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

there are still a lot of differences between provinces and regions

#

like, BC usually votes for the opposing party compared to Quebec

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

Do you have an election sytem like in the US?

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

it's similar enough, but I think we differ in the electorial college part

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

I see. Not to be rude or so, I'd gladly continue our conversation another day, but right now, I'm feeling hungry and tired.

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

sure thing, I should go to sleep too

gaunt valley Apr 10, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

Good night then!

Hey ! I'm totally off-topic but maybe someone can help me here, in french we have a mathematical theorem named "Théorème des croissances comparées" or "Comparative growth theorem" translated literally https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Théorème_des_croissances_comparées, is there a name in english for it ? I can't find anything with Comparative growth theorem

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

I'll try asking the fire emblem fandom, they use math more often

#

no luck, it's not applicable

sonic knot Apr 10, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

😢

#

thanks anyway

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

I remember this theorem though, but my textbooks were probably also in french

north hamlet Apr 10, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

I don't think I've seen any games where limits would be useful for analysis actually

#

But i also haven't done that much advanced math

wide ember Apr 10, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

I remember at least one person there using university grade math, so they have learned limits, just don't remember

sonic knot Apr 10, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

it's not for a game, my friend is writing a physics paper where he use this theorem, but he can't find a way to name it in english

north hamlet Apr 10, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Yeah, i was just thinking that you wouldn't need limits for fire emblem related stuff

sonic knot Apr 10, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

oh yeah, right

north hamlet Apr 10, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

I'd say find the original paper describing it and see if it's cited in English papers, but i tried doing that and i couldn't find where the theorem came from

sonic knot Apr 10, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I don't think there is a specific paper for this theorem

#

it's not really complex

north hamlet Apr 10, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Even if there isn't a whole paper on it there should be a recorded origin point?

#

I guess any paper that references it could help though

#

Since those might be cited in English papers so they might've needed to find a translation for it

sonic knot Apr 10, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Can't find anything useful

north hamlet Apr 10, 2020, 7:30 PM

My guess is that its not formalised as a theorem as such in english

That does happen in mathematics
