Think about it like this: Who is going to determine where to draw the line? How far are these going to be limited?
Are they going to stop at where you'd draw the lines? Not likely.
When you start limiting these aspects, there is no stopping.

Limiting one's creativity or thinking is one of the most immoral things.

[frozen silo]

we dont need to have someone to draw the line, we can draw the line based on how human actually created, there also the fact there universal moral line, example, there never any justification to sexualize any minor at all

torture is never right

and many more

[old inlet]

who was talking about "limiting creativity and thinking"? Morals and ideals is reffering to your moral compass. everyone has their own one

[floral imp]

That's literally where it started.

[old inlet]

mmm, i should read before yapping

excuse me

[lean shell]

*cough²
still determined by humanistic perspective

whoopsie can't continue that

[floral imp]

I will not go there. But I find it funny how characters (that are not real) perceived as minor is snapped on more than real activities happening under people's nose. And I'm stopping here.

[topaz wraith]

THERE IS NO WAY...

[wicked sedge]

Utilizing one's creativity to impose an irrational idea upon others or a subject is almost the definition of discrimination.
Creativity without limits is like giving a toddler a knife, sooner or later something is going to be hurt.

There's a fine balance to the matter.

Without morals, would we be better than beasts?

[floral imp]

Morality is a concept born from creativity itself.

[topaz wraith]

also wtf are you guys yapping about

[floral imp]

Why would that turn anyone into a "beast"?

[wicked sedge]

If I start talking about taboos this is going to go south very, very fast.

[topaz wraith]

anywho @ripe prairie I am genuinely extremely sorry..

you cannot make this up

[wicked sedge]

Certain "art" disregards such morality in favor of... something else entirely.

[floral imp]

Thinking and depicting something is completely different from going through with criminal acts.

[wicked sedge]

That's when creativity goes too far.

[wicked sedge]

Correlation is not causation but it's odd that one can connect things quite fluidly when these instances arise.

well alright, but another viewpoint, because its clear, even if it fictional, its clear isnt it? unfortunately as much i condemn more about the real life happening, as long there no evidence, how can i condemn one in real life where as the fiction is straight up is one clear evidence, and i can condemn it with clear visual act?

[topaz wraith]

oh gotcha

[frozen silo]

is it so much bias that i just do what i can do at the moment? i see some fictional thing that violate/sexualize/dehumanize minor, so i called it out and condemn it in that moment? i condemn as hard as possible about epstein cases too, but what can i do other than exactly doing the same? calling out and condemn it? of course if you mean i sound overemphasize fiction over real life, then fair, but for me both is equally can affect each other, just like word can affect action, and action affect word, so are fiction can affect reality and reality can affect fiction, human fiction create technology, but with it we also create nuke, human fiction create all kind of cure, but also bring bout dark history and inhumane experiment, example, Japan nuking, Dr. John Money, Unit 731 and many more.

Ehh, i will just keep it in middle ground, its definitely dark already, but if you mean how it represented in mainstory, then sure its nowhere "dark" yet

[topaz wraith]

I don’t think its anywhere as dark as pgr or ark though

At all

Even in lore, its quite mid compared to those

[slim knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/phoebe-wutheringwaves-wuthering-waves-ragunna-holiday-take-a-picture-of-phoebe-gif-3435704597135217715

[frozen silo]

Oh trust me, its pretty damn depressing, lorewise that is, they kinda suck at representing it in the game is true unfortunately

Ie, lets just say everything and everyone in solaris 3 is reduced just to frequencies, that because lament altered the law of the world,
important characteristic of these frequencies is that they have a maximum peak at the beginning of their life cycle, but decay over time as real energy.
So in nutshell, lets say everyone basically have a cancer like oripathy, but less potent in return, everyone have it instead and slowly dying no matter how safe they are

[topaz wraith]

Thats just a fancy quirky version of aging

It doesn’t really matter cuz people still have complete normal life cycles

[frozen silo]

Hence why i said they suck at representing it, there not yet mentioning how "much" or how "fast" yet the decay is happening, they really could use this to amplify the apocalypse and how lament alter the physic law more

But yes, decay in this case is that everything and everyone in the world will become reverberation aka echoes, which in turn mean they could become tacet discord or basically everything become tacet discord, dying doesnt mean you can rest peacefull, all matter, energy, and information basically just become frequencies and when you become reverberation mean that its your everything fully fused with the world and prone to being manipulated in anyway

[random hornet]

Imma just log out.

[frozen silo]

This already proved in the jinzhou war we gone through, where soldier dying become tacet discord instead, so ie, tacet discord might as well the very human we know, this become even more true if the tacet discord eat the human frequencies, they can shape shift into human itself but still a tacet discord, they act like human but prey other frequencies

[topaz wraith]

I personally don’t think that’s really interesting

Or even that dark

Maybe that’s just me being a twisted fick

[frozen silo]

Maybe, who know, i feel its on the same level just like other apocalypse theme, but its kinda more fun since its still based on real life science

[topaz wraith]

Real life science..

Cmon now..

[frozen silo]

Reverberation, frequencies and all of that is based on real life science

String theory etc

[lean shell]

well Infected in Terra face insane discrimination, while in PGR the PV can melt you...
so yeah, Solaris-3 is bit softer since the human can mutate into Resonator caused by change from the Lament

[topaz wraith]

Thats a very surface level utilisation of “real life science” though

[dull estuary]

"Maybe we should-" No, optimize the game first.

[topaz wraith]

The only thing wuwa takes from real life is sound and frequencies

And then its just generic magic

I would love if they expanded on their sci fi lore

And integrated them in game

Like resonator types, awakenings, overclocking but seems like they don’t want to do any of that

[frozen silo]

Its magic because it doesnt happen yet, that what everyone say about science back then, its magic and witchcraft, but anyway, that how they going with their apocalypse theme, oripathy and punishing virus is generic magic too because its just takes on the shape of virus or affliction but without any theory happen, unless the very apocalypse itself happen here

[frozen silo]

Resonator type, you mean the rabelle curve? Its just a way to distinct how each resonater awaken their forte, overclocking wise we already have that with camellya and that doll thing in yinlin story

[topaz wraith]

Well yeah, unless they break it down in a properly grounded, digestible, interesting and satisfying way
Its going to stay generic boring magic

Thats how sci fi works

[topaz wraith]

Yes

[frozen silo]

I mean, its already self explained, its just work the way how frequencies, echoes, vibration work, its just that The Lament convert everything, matter, information, and energy into frequencies, if there something that need to be dissected, that is the lament itself, which is one of reason why i am here waiting no?

[lean shell]

ah so it's all about how good at 'chaining' yourself in writing
surprise² the climb is not easy

🔫

[frozen silo]

Well, how do you discriminate something when everyone share the same fate anyway

[lean shell]

well that's the thing
the discrimination is stupid but effective way to satiate human awful need to 'blame' other and overlook the kinda obvious problem in government & society

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-wtf-khe-gif-9340209

[random hornet]

Did they really just say that?
Are you sure you didn't have brain damage from an immense brain concussion before you typed that?

[topaz wraith]

This shi is so pathetic lmao

[frozen silo]

Unfortunately true, but i mean, in arknight case, its kinda 'fair' from normal person perspective to discriminate oripathy infected person, they all, after all is a ticking bomb and carrier of another spread source, where as in WuWa and PGR, there just nothing to discriminate, discriminate resonator or construct? The one that saving you up? Definitely not a good idea, though of course there always be "human supremacist" all of that

[topaz wraith]

Wuwa has no complexity

Its way too boring right now

[wicked sedge]

As dark as
PGR story

That's a good joke,

[lean shell]

oh yeah definitely
you can't mess with Resonator since they're the most effective force to combat TD.
also Construct at it's principle are insane violation of sanctity of human life

[topaz wraith]

Its really not

[wicked sedge]

Maybe the underlying ideas are a bit more "dark", but I don't think they really explore just how damn horribly it can go.

[topaz wraith]

Compared to WW, pgr is dark yeah

[frozen silo]

Well, its the average apocalypse? But understandable, their way of representing it is way too "happy" or "light", compared to AK or PGR, but i attribute it that both have different method story telling, IE, PGR and AK use visual novel style, which makes them have less hassle to think anything more than just plot

[wicked sedge]

"Dark" is confronting things taboo and unnerving to the human psyche.
It's confronting things that you don't want to confront, like genuine questions of death, loyalty, and trust.

[topaz wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/four-lions-john-travolta-pulp-fiction-lost-gif-12484820

[wicked sedge]

It's challenging well established ideas that society might very well call "grim" and "alarming".

A war for the fate of humanity is only as impactful as its stakes.

[topaz wraith]

That all it is, apocalypse #62

Stories are never interesting because of an apocalypse
They are interesting because of how the setting reacts to it

[wicked sedge]

And PGR honestly has low stakes.
Established characters very, VERY rarely face anything that truly changes them or challenges them.

[topaz wraith]

This I agree with

The overglazing is insane

[wicked sedge]

Low stakes often times mean low retention for story.

[topaz wraith]

Exactly

[wicked sedge]

It's why Arknights works.

Because people genuinely die and suffer.

And I won't even say it more than just in a simple sentence,

It's why GFL works so damn well.
End all be all.

You give ANY story proper stakes and make those stakes immensely clear, it suddenly becomes a lot more interesting.

[wise sonnet]

https://fixvx.com/Derlan144p_/status/1890531230908600822

[topaz wraith]

But alas, mainstream gacha formulas

[wicked sedge]

They don't allow for it.

[frozen silo]

I agree with that, but yeah, in the end, apocalypse is there just for the plot tool, and its up to developer how they use and represent it

[wicked sedge]

They can't process the idea of anything except just making character to gacha off.

[topaz wraith]

Yesss. And.. here it comes
They are doing an ASS of a job at it

So far.

[wicked sedge]

A setting sets the exploration options a storyteller can use.

Post-apocalypse settings often focus on existentialism, reflection, and regret.

Danger is a massive part of the apocalypse.

[frozen silo]

Never disagreed with that, but maybe i have less inclination to such opinion since didnt join the game to bond with the character and all of that, but yes

[frozen silo]

Money doesnt allow complex story, cuz complex mean people cant read and understand which in return mean no money, gooning is da way

[lean shell]

when free actually meant 'free' quality

[topaz wraith]

More yinlin feet

[lean shell]

[wicked sedge]

I think one of the greatest examples of PGR's failure of stakes is Surviving Lucem.

[topaz wraith]

They are going to come for you

https://tenor.com/view/kon-gif-20034183

[wicked sedge]

It tries to establish stakes by endangering a character, but we knew from prior chapters that those stakes are just imaginary.

At the end of it all, it'll be fine.

And that's just such a tragic waste honestly.

AK or GFL would have accepted those stakes and spent the full chapter upon the "sacrificial lamb", expanding upon them, further characterizing them, giving them true character, and then would have let them be the sacrifice.

[topaz wraith]

But its peak writing and justifies glorifying the entire story and making hyperbolic statements like pgr has the best story of any gacha or any vn

[topaz wraith]

Yeah its pretty miserable

[wicked sedge]

[crude topaz]

I’m sick and I keep having this fever dream about omnipresent universes trying to reach equality but every time one decides to gain power in some way, shi had me stressed.
At some point I threw all my stuffies out of bed and just slept with a pillow and blanket. Then proceeded to sweat my bed wet two times and then piss myself

Like wtf

[low ferry]

What the hell

[crude topaz]

I want this to end. Just end me

[low ferry]

I worry more about the part where you pissed yourself

[crude topaz]

I don’t know either never happened before. I think it happened because of the combination between meds and the liter water I pumped down after sweating that much

[low ferry]

[gloomy ocean]

That's a sick dream ngl

[crude topaz]

It was fkin SICK. It drove me insane to the point I cried

[gentle ember]

hi

[oak ruin]

I respect your commitment to finishing this daunting task

[viscid nymph]

please kill me already

oh genshin's abyss reset already?

[old inlet]

oh no you play genshin

my goat fell off

[viscid nymph]

i was never the goat

[old inlet]

c6

utterly washed

wait are those 4* artifacts

[viscid nymph]

i love himeko mavuika

[old inlet]

no the color changes from the cv

aight

[viscid nymph]

those are 5*s, its purple cause bad artifacts

which is funny because i transmuted the sands and goblet

[oak ruin]

I almost read it as "A thousand glazing simps"

[viscid nymph]

and its so ass

[viscid nymph]

ur not wrong

[oak ruin]

since when do Genshin signature weapon have over 700 ATK?

last time I checked, they barely had 400-500

[viscid nymph]

i mean, it is the strongest character in the entire game right now

cough

[oak ruin]

wasn't it the sad dragon man?

with his sad short queen as support?

[viscid nymph]

it was

till adoption person came in

then natlan dropped

then the strongest dps is a girl surfing a damn shark

[oak ruin]

what the blazing hell?

I know about that annoying panther lady who is a DJ

[viscid nymph]

thats a support

[oak ruin]

and uh... that pirate lady who rides her fyling gun like it's a pegasus

[viscid nymph]

on par with water girl that needs centuries of therapy

chasca is the strongest in terms of hps

i dont know what term they use for hits per second

[oak ruin]

but all those Natlan units are that good only with other Natlan units, right?

also, how is that angry pink haired grandma?

[viscid nymph]

well, with the exception of the pyro archon

the rest doesnt need natlan characters

pink granny is the best pyro support

SHE DOESNT EVEN BUFF CRYO

SHE IS CRYO

[oak ruin]

what?

an ice unit that doesn't help an ice team?

[viscid nymph]

she buffs the water and fire team

on the bright side, next patch has a bennett replacement

[oak ruin]

well, this fraud from HI3 also doesn't buff ice teams, despite being a support that does ice damage
instead she supports fire and lightning teams

peak fraud right here

[viscid nymph]

average mihobo character building

[oak ruin]

HI3 parts 2 unit are much worse

it's rainbow teams now with certain alignments tied some Astral Ring

like you will have a physical unit become a support for a fire unit and weird stuff like that 😦

[viscid nymph]

yep

its so dumb

and you cant even get the characters for the patch

cause they release like s ranks per patch

[oak ruin]

one new S-rank

and many older S-rank reruns

[oak ruin]

but its mostly part 2 units

[viscid nymph]

they dont give you enough crystals for them as well

if you wanna run em, you need their sig which gives em human rights

[oak ruin]

nope, they don't

I started playing last week

[frozen silo]

Cheeks
https://youtu.be/3ExebbxxFEU
https://youtu.be/pRtCJIJpgUs

[oak ruin]

but it feels much worse as new player then I expected

like, all part 1 units are basically extinct

[viscid nymph]

its a terrible game, just quit

[oak ruin]

and you can only cope with farmable A-ranks with super cope gears

I'm glad that you can at least get some useful stuff in PGR

and build from there

[viscid nymph]

fyi

i skipped those 3 characters

and this was how much i saved

[oak ruin]

I actually started playing to hope to get that small Durandal, because she looked fun to play as

[viscid nymph]

your avg luck needs about 30k to give them rights to even play

[oak ruin]

also, she is the best crit unit, so there is that 😦

but I was too late, her banner was gone already

[viscid nymph]

dont even bother

the rates are so bad that you wont even get her

i hit hard pity about 80% of the time

[oak ruin]

90 pulls for S-rank, 60 pulls for weapon

sure, it's 100% unlike their other games, but eh

this is not sustainable 😦

[viscid nymph]

this game is only for die hard houkai fans who will whale

[oak ruin]

I didn't even started to play for the plot, because HSR has mentally scarred me

[viscid nymph]

bruh

the plot in question:

[oak ruin]

I have pressed that skip button each time it came up

[viscid nymph]

honestly i completely ignored part 1

[oak ruin]

I only know that Kiana is fun, Theresa is funny, Mei is cute and Bronya exists

[viscid nymph]

the ui was so bad i couldnt stand it

im pretty invested in part 2 though

[oak ruin]

and that blonde man is SUS, that's it

[viscid nymph]

there are 2 of that blonde man in hsr

one is like expy, so ehh

[oak ruin]

I think Otto was his name

[old inlet]

genuine question, does anything happen in hi3's plot outside of sesbian lex. or is that all there is to their character development

[oak ruin]

but his maid and that kung fu lady calls him Overseer for some reason

[oak ruin]

actually, it might be doomed yuri couples

[viscid nymph]

yea, doomed yuri couples

[old inlet]

sigh

[oak ruin]

but I'm a story skipper, I cannot give you the specific details

[viscid nymph]

i am very invested in part 2 storyline

[random hornet]

Lmao.

[oak ruin]

don't judge me, fam

[viscid nymph]

but their recent story kinda make me frustrated cause:
||it was all a simulation||

[oak ruin]

HSR had mentally scarred and now I dread reading ANY plot from a hoyoverse game

[old inlet]

[viscid nymph]

like i wasted time to be invested in the damn story

and all of those were irrelevant

[random hornet]

From my experience with Part 1 (the Real Honkai Impact 3rd), it's not explicitly like that.

[oak ruin]

so I'm rejoicing like madman when I saw that there is a working skip button

[random hornet]

Part 2 is not Honkai Impact 3rd for me.

[viscid nymph]

part 1 is like therapy or something idk

[old inlet]

something-something angst?

[oak ruin]

so you mean to say that the plot was actually good once?

[viscid nymph]

part 2 can be a completely different game

[random hornet]

You literally skip the story, I'm not bothered saying anything. (Also, I haven't played HI3rd since 2021)

[viscid nymph]

lets just say part 2 is a story itself with part 1 cameos

[random hornet]

Because the cast aren't even from the original either (like the Guns Girl Z cast)

[viscid nymph]

yea

[oak ruin]

well, I can replay the story stages in HI3, unlike other games from mihoyo

so I was more curious if the plot is even worth the read, before I reach non-replayable stuff (because I have a bad feeling that those exist too)

[viscid nymph]

personally uhh

if you like doomed yuri

sure

otherwise, not worth cause its a pain to remember everything

[oak ruin]

😔

[viscid nymph]

it feels like multiple fate stories

[random hornet]

GI is a gacha game disguised as a "AAA game"

They learned some shitto from Sony

ahem ahem God of War reboot/God of War Ragnarok ahem

[viscid nymph]

genshin is a terrible game anyways

[oak ruin]

so it's actually Sony forcing the greed on the devs for GI

[random hornet]

To be honest, I've become skeptical when I saw MiHoYo make a game that's not Honkai

[oak ruin]

typical Japanese megacorp. attitude

[random hornet]

I mean the unskippable ""cinematics""

[viscid nymph]

at least zzz is decent at the start

i havent played it

[random hornet]

But applied to everywhere

[oak ruin]

all Sony's doing huh?

I know that Capcom and Square Enix are very greedy too

[random hornet]

not really but they learn a thing or two from them, lmao.
||everything what I said isn't even true but you get the point||

see pgr

[random hornet]

They did dirty on Tango Gameworks (Hi-Fi Rush is clearly their big win and yet Microsoft shutting down the dev team)

[viscid nymph]

eos-ing atm

[low ferry]

Synchro patch is enough proof that Kuro isn't an exception

[oak ruin]

Tencent own a lot of the shares, right?

[low ferry]

Tencent has 51% of its shares

But PGR isn't as f2p friendly as it seems

[oak ruin]

aren't those the megacorp. who also how lots of shares in Warframe and Riot Games (who made League of Legends)

[low ferry]

Units won't work without their weapons

[oak ruin]

see the kuva and rivens farming thing from WF and the 250 $ skins and gacha and removal of F2P rights in LoL

[low ferry]

Nowadays back to back S ranks

[wise sonnet]

Not.... exactly?

[low ferry]

Important differences between SS and SS3/SSS

[random hornet]

@low ferry Do you think I can 100% this?

[low ferry]

Yes

[viscid nymph]

honestly

of all hoyo's games

i would say hi3 is the most predatory of them all

[random hornet]

What about this?

[random hornet]

Sadly, yeah... gacha-wise, it's fvcked up.

[low ferry]

Maybe, I heard it has some unfair levels for relics

[wise sonnet]

PGR being f2p friendly stems from the fact that you can get every single character without needing to spend a dime

nobody really cares for SS3 except for whales

[low ferry]

[wise sonnet]

Vera, I know you have a huge hateboner for Kuro (based, like me) but it can sometimes be borderline cope lmao

[low ferry]

It's a meta based game

[low ferry]

What, no

[wise sonnet]

You do lol

[low ferry]

No, what?

[wise sonnet]

Like dude, you can be a huuuge doomer everytime

[viscid nymph]

[low ferry]

Making criticism != hateboner

Especially when all the criticisms I made turned out to be true

[wise sonnet]

I never said that

You make good points at times

But it at times boil down to sharting a game because it's a gacha game without acknowledging the good parts

[low ferry]

I acknowledge the good parts

[viscid nymph]

as of now i just think mihoyo as a music company

[wise sonnet]

Fake....

[low ferry]

Not fake

I praised multiple times that it is good you can get all characters

But the game isn't as f2p friendly as its bots want to make you believe

Because if you only want to get the characters, you can just rip the models and put them in blender

[wise sonnet]

That's not really playing the game

the "F2P" praise stems from the fact that you can get every character if you plan enough

[low ferry]

Yes, and if you want to play the game at its fullest you need to think about all those stuff I listed above

[wise sonnet]

Compared to let's say, Aether Gazer

[low ferry]

Who cares about what other games do

For me other games could do much worse but I don't see how that influences PGR

[wise sonnet]

It's a comparison to what other games similar to PGR

Your argument seems to believe the fact that it's a "gacha game = bad game" once again and seeing the game as simply a character collector instead

[low ferry]

Yes, that's true for every gacha game

[wise sonnet]

Yeah lol, it's bad faith

[low ferry]

They are character collector games

[wise sonnet]

But I guess I can't change your mind ever on this mindset

[viscid nymph]

honestly a lot of people kinda hate on hi3's part 2 story, but personally i quite like it lol, since i have no emotional parts with part 1

im pretty hyped as it goes on

[oak ruin]

you actually read part 2?

[viscid nymph]

yea ofc

[low ferry]

But this thing I said about not being as f2p friendly as bots try to sell it it is not related to that

[low ferry]

No

[wise sonnet]

You're only seeing these games as a "character collection simulator" but majority of people (like me) still play PGR because I can go and experience playing every character

[viscid nymph]

its much better than playing part 1 ill be honest

[wise sonnet]

So sorry I see you as biased everytime we talk about this

[low ferry]

If you want to play the game to the fullest you need weapons

And ranks at times change the gameplay

[low ferry]

No

[thick ridge]

I wanna introduce you to the heat game LIMBUS COMPANYYYYY

[wise sonnet]

The only thing min-maxxing character matters is Clash Reflection, which rarely anyone plays nor like lmao

[thick ridge]

Litterally just farm any charecter you want

[wise sonnet]

You can still do War Zone as easy

You can still do PPC as easy

[low ferry]

And lock yourself out from rewards

and lock yourself out from ppc skulls

[wise sonnet]

210 every 2 weeks isn't much

[low ferry]

[frozen silo]

@random hornet @devout thunder critical hit aw

[low ferry]

I would also say you need with Norman

You lock yourself out from BC

[wise sonnet]

an extra 50 every 2 weeks again, isn't much

That means 260 every 2 weeks. Just one pull

[low ferry]

All gacha currency is important

[viscid nymph]

part 2 story is like a horror game ngl

[wise sonnet]

Do you post that emote everytime at someone to assume they're dumb or something?

[low ferry]

No

[low ferry]

Nope

I do it because I think you have the wrong mindset

[wise sonnet]

Feeling is mutual

[low ferry]

It's a gacha, stingy by definition, you want to get as much pulls as possible

[lusty pond]

Huh

[low ferry]

Even if you roll only to get characters

[wise sonnet]

I must not care much then

[low ferry]

There will be a time where you may need them

Imagine you may want to SSS a character

[gloomy ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/hotaru-tomoe-discord-drama-hotaru-sailor-saturn-when-there's-finally-drama-in-chat-gif-8417924498927555580

[low ferry]

In the long run you are gonna have some extra pulls

[wise sonnet]

You get atleast 10k each patch, with an A-rank character as a break which gives you 20k. Unless you're a whale, some people just like to play for the character movesets

[low ferry]

There is back to back S ranks now

[wise sonnet]

Yeah, because of the synchro

Once that ends, we go back to the usual patch schedule

[low ferry]

Not really

There could always be the unpredictable back to back S rank again

[opaque vessel]

People don't play Clash Reflection for bc man

[wise sonnet]

By the time you get 2 S-rank patch back to back, you'd have 5k (or more) leftovers from the 20k (minus 15k pulling the S-rank) you got

[low ferry]

They do play for harmo and pull tickets

[viscid nymph]

ok part 2 is horror themed

[wise sonnet]

Well, Vera thinks so

[viscid nymph]

poggers i love it

[opaque vessel]

Not playing CR = no harmo mats = weak

[low ferry]

I said norman

[low ferry]

Not CR, norman

CR has yellow tickets and harmo

both important

[wise sonnet]

30/50 for every 2 weeks is nigh

[low ferry]

[wise sonnet]

Unless you're a whale

[low ferry]

I said above every single piece of currency is important in a gacha game

[wise sonnet]

For a measly 50?

[low ferry]

In the long run

also where are these 50bc coming from

[wise sonnet]

Norman

Yeah, this is getting nowhere

[low ferry]

100bc

[wise sonnet]

Still a single pull

This is getting nowhere, we're just going back and forth on points

[wise sonnet]

This is like hyping up a minimum wage job of 5 dollars per day, saying you'll get 24 if you stay around for a year

[low ferry]

Terrible example

[wise sonnet]

Yeah, I'm going back to posting other things

she isnt crazy per say

Let them suffer and wilt, they lost their charm before COVID.

[sturdy apex]

Then again, it's a huge company that literally shouldn't be jealous of a game being better

[cloud trail]

^^^

[sturdy apex]

It's as dumb as it sounds, the whole case and the fact it's being taken this seriously, is telling.

The bigger fish is afraid of the little newborn

Or, inconvenienced, somehow.

[dull estuary]

Caught up with Dandadan anime and yea Science SARU cooked and did their best to be faithful from the Manga, although Jiji's Arc and next one are gonna test their limits and wrists because the Mangaka (Yukinobu Tatsu) is creatively insane in the Manga 💀 ||and very wild cliffhanger||

Can't wait for Season 2 in July this year

[wicked sedge]

Shocking how this is applicable to the entire industry.

[sturdy apex]

Agreed, but then again, maybe they're becoming so poor due to most games not having met their sales in the past couple years due to their own negligence

[wicked sedge]

And that has been the case.

[sturdy apex]

They're their own issues

Forgetting priority over profit

[wicked sedge]

They're running around like a chicken with its head cut off, but when these smaller companies are doing numbers beyond them they're utterly terrified of it and lash out against those who play them.

Look at Space Marine 2.

Dropped, shattered every expectation and suddenly journalists and companies are trying to label the players as extremists just because they enjoy the setting and the game.

[sturdy apex]

Hey, Ubisoft is dead

Well deserved

[wicked sedge]

More better follow.
I want Blizzard and Activision's heads on a plate by the end of this year.

[sturdy apex]

Strangely, I want the same

[wicked sedge]

They won't learn, they'll simply try and keep shoving everything they've done to the end until the head is cut off and replaced.

[sturdy apex]

Yearly releases for a decade or more now

When will they learn?

[wicked sedge]

They won't.

Because they only want profits.

[minor briar]

Hi guys

[wicked sedge]

When a company goes corporate, it cares only about the profit, not about its customers.

[minor briar]

Jun mochizuki is such a good author

[sturdy apex]

Exactly, because the fandom is just as mental as the corporates using the IP for profit from the same morons that keep eating their slop up while purchasing more, despite their games becoming more and more expensive

[wicked sedge]

If they can do the same thing and get profit from it, they'll keep doing it.
Fighting with the wallet is the single biggest thing that can be done to topple the corporations and replace them with those that understand what we want.

But it's not the only thing that can let alone should be done.

[sturdy apex]

Really makes me wonder if it's the corporates, or the fandom at this point

[wicked sedge]

They will wail and cry when they are called out, but it is a civic duty to call them out for their practices and to make everyone aware of it.
It's important to fight their attempts to try and shelter themselves with words.

Break the facade, reveal the corpse beneath.

[sturdy apex]

What a wonderful world we exist in these times

Question the dumbest things, and forget them not long after they slightly appeal

[wicked sedge]

True journalism isn't sallying up to companies to make them look better, it is giving true and honest critique and finding out about companies and their practices.

It's why so many rallied against Veilguard.

[sturdy apex]

Isn't that game bad?

[wicked sedge]

Because it had so much wrong with it that almost anyone could find severe problems with it.

[wicked sedge]

Beyond bad.

[sturdy apex]

Abysmal

[wicked sedge]

It's a shell, a shill, and terrible.

[rugged flame]

Reviewing is dead in a lot of sectors. It's just shilling now.

[sturdy apex]

Depends who you watch, just saying

There's a lot of so-called reviewers nowadays

[wicked sedge]

The combat is beyond atrocious because by hour 3 it's the same thing over and over again with no variation and no strategy. It's mindless, endless, and worthless.
The story is a complete joke and utterly terrible in all facets.
The characters are cringe worthy and there is so much preachy crap in it that everyone who isn't in the developer's pockets hates it for what it tries to represent.
It's soulless, it's nearly a decade of wasted scrap and junk that shouldn't ever have been called a Dragon Age game.

[random hornet]

[wicked sedge]

I think the most apt description of Veilguard was simple.
It's not an RPG.

[sturdy apex]

Is this the same game that tries to handhold the player with the story so much, they keep repeating the story to you?

[wicked sedge]

I've heard it also does that.

[sturdy apex]

It's so funny

[wicked sedge]

It also sits you down to forcibly make you watch some character explain what the hell "non-binary" is.

[sturdy apex]

Torture

I didn't know that was a thing in the game

[wicked sedge]

Which is where 95% of people just lost everything with it.
Not because of the content, but because of how it's presented.

It is horrible.
It genuinely made those who actually care about that kind of thing sick.
It's a joke, a disgusting joke

Veilguard deserved less.

Luckily it has flopped horribly, but I wish it flopped more.

[sturdy apex]

Well, when you give politically driven morons the job to write and direct your favorite titles, that tends to happen.

[wicked sedge]

When you make your politics preachy in a game, you lose almost everyone.

It's a fantasy world I'm trying to play to get OUT of the world, not stay in it, no?

[sturdy apex]

They did it all for the $$$

Not your feelings towards the game itself

[wicked sedge]

I will not mention the U.S. Aid revelations in depth but those have truly revealed some things.

It's money, it's trying to pander, and all it's doing is making everyone hate you.

[sturdy apex]

Because they never understood, intentionally, of course.

[wicked sedge]

Oh they understood.

They just try to scream louder to ignore it.

[sturdy apex]

Aren't you giving them too much credit now?

[wicked sedge]

"Gamers are making another gamergate!" when a majority of players just want to have good games again that aren't politically and profitability driven, instead made to be fun and enjoyable. I will not deny that there are some who have terrible motives in the movement of the game community to fight back, but like 99% of cases, they are a very small minority that nobody but themselves like.
Live service games have continued to prove that the current leading system is untenable and incapable of prolonged employment.

It's a mess.

[sturdy apex]

Of course, that much is obvious these days

[wicked sedge]

I really hope 2025 is the year that the bubble finally bursts and the nonsense and ruination comes to an end.

[sturdy apex]

Hell of a mess for some, wonder if they'll get themselves back on track

[wicked sedge]

I've been stuck playing old games for so long that I don't even know what's new and being made anymore unless it's controversial.

[sturdy apex]

Too many remakes and remasters of old titles, too

No creativity

[wicked sedge]

Oh thanks for reminding me.

I personally want Naughty Dog bankrupt by the end of this year.

[sturdy apex]

Same

Repeated slop from them

[wicked sedge]

They know their sins and deserve every single punishment that is coming for them.
Part 2 will fail, Intergalactic will be chock full of crap, and they will plummet.

[sturdy apex]

I'm just bobbing my head to Bauhaus, I'm just watching all these companies fail themselves

[wicked sedge]

It is telling that a game will be bad when the company releases the trailer onto YouTube and disables the comments.

So inevitably everyone watched the IGN one to dog on it because it deserves to be dogged on.
The trailer has given us nothing to work with and no reason to be excited.

[sturdy apex]

Only time will tell

[wicked sedge]

Naughty Dog fans rn

[sturdy apex]

A lot has already happened in only one month of 2025

What a hectic foreshadowing

[wicked sedge]

Better refill your popcorn, the show's about to get good.

[sturdy apex]

I have no doubts about that

I'm only ready for what's going to end

More than excited, ecstatic

[random hornet]

No more Cash Banooca...

[wicked sedge]

Every end is a new beginning.

[sturdy apex]

Not for Ubisoft

[wicked sedge]

And holy hell does this one have me excited.

[wicked sedge]

Nah it's a new beginning.
A beginning of no Ubisoft.

[wicked sedge]

They lost that a long time ago.

[random hornet]

Meanwhile, I can get exhausted from playing my fav games for too long to the point it's not fun anymore (for me at least)
So these days, I usually jump ship into anything that peaked my interest.

It's like a wild hunt

a duck hunt perhaps

[wicked sedge]

Despite 6k hours, I am still happily on BL2 simply because it is so well crafted.

The game can continually let me try new things and challenge myself in ways that give me satisfaction for the time I put into it.

Even the original holds that, I've been focused on that more because of new mods that have come to it

[random hornet]

Toys for Bob brought back the IP but also fvcked up the progression.
||this is nuts, who wants to replay the same stage 8 times at minimum just to 100% the game???||

[wicked sedge]

And Borderlands is 16 years old.

[random hornet]

[wicked sedge]

Shocker (not really).

[random hornet]

For me, it was a deal breaker... But I still bought the game anyway

[wicked sedge]

You learned though, right?

[random hornet]

Yeah, I learned something or two...
||learn to be patient and hold my temperament||

[wicked sedge]

Well that's something, I guess.

[random hornet]

Because that's the only thing I need to 106% Cash Banooca 4: In a Big Tent

[coral scroll]

This song being me back when this show was released new episodes and now it’s over

It’s been over for like almost 3 years

[minor briar]

Anyone watch vanitas no carte

[cosmic rapids]

Im expecting the same things will happen to the game i played

Mojang/Microshit gonna sue "Minecraft-like" Game because its better and has more content + active development

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKODiwDQuMQ

[random hornet]

What about that game Hypixel is making?

Oh how the tables have turned.
Look at Overwatch 2 and tell me Blizzard listens.

They don't anymore.

The truth is, Overwatch has become what TF2 turned into after it tried to emulate it all.

I've just gotten to Part 5 and it's proven to me that I've just been on the right track yet again.

Zesty really holds my attention because he's one of the few who actually does anything instead of just talking. He knows how to tackle the problems better than most any other creator.

Frankly, his mindset, outlook, and methodology are essentially what I strive for.
Find, uncover, dissect, report, fix.

[cosmic rapids]

Hypixel is dead

And Riot killed it

Well the game*
