My parents were pedophiles who molested and sexually harassed me when I was a child and when I was a teenager. My father got off on physically abusing me, especially when I was a small child and he did it left often when I became a teenager because it wasn't as sexually fulfilling to him any more, which made him a pathetically grumpy childish unfulfilled fat man who eventually gave himself cancer smoking but got better because there probably isn't a God worth a damn up there. Mum loved shoving perversion into my face and her daughter's face. Mom and dad usually kept their perversion with me separate from their perversion with my sister. I was exploited, and she was groomed. Mom loved to "inspect" me when I was young, and as I grew. Sometimes she tried to get me to grow in her hands, if you get what I am saying, using her hands and other things. I recall times when she'd get cream on her hands and tell me this would disinfect my cock and balls to prevent the risk of infection. Sometimes mom would show me pictures on her phone to gauge my reaction to different porn stars and pictures of weird shit on the internet. I told her I was a furry once just to try and get her to stop with the degrating bdsm gay shit but that just got her to show me ugly unappealing art of furry women instead. And it was always shit art, did that bitch have no eye for aesthetics or proportions? Mum just enjoyed being evil and manipulative, feeling important, feeling pitied, feeling like she was the most important person in the room able to do whatever she wanted, laws be damned. My parents told me daily masturbation was necessary to keep your cock from shrinking and atrophying, and they taught me to masturbate prone, which is unhealthy. Obviously fucking none of this is healthy, but don't masturbate prone. Sometimes Mum mocked the way my dick would bend to one side when ready for action. Mum loved showing Thor x Loki gay porn fanfiction to my little sister, mums friends made some of it. My sister... she's four years younger than me. So right now she would be about twenty one or twenty two, I forgot when her birthday is and I won't check if mum's stupid fucking lie-filled blog about herself and family life is still up to check. At the time if I was fifteen she would be eleven, but our sexual abuse at the hands of my parents started long before we both turned ten. And mum loved showing sex filled adult shows like Castle and CSI and Law And Order and Legend Of The Seeker to me and my little sister while my little sister was still young enough to watch not just Avatar but Danny Phantom and iCarly and Wizards Of Waverly Place and like it. Sometimes I walked in on my little sister and my mother watching pornhub together or reading horny fanfiction curled up together in bed, sometimes in my room I heard degenerate sounds coming from their screens. Mom used to talk with this excited tone about porn sometimes, to try and make it sound natural and exciting and normal when she described to her children, in detail, the fucked up shit she saw today, and whether something got her off or was too unrealistic. You know how awful children will tell lies and cry "Mooom, he hit me!" when they want to see their siblings punished, or threaten to do this if they want their siblings manipulated? My sister would sometimes lie and claim I punched or slapped or kicked her or grabbed her in a tight hug and squeezed too hard. My sister also used to threaten to claim I showed her my cock or slapped her with it if I didn't let her win sometimes in multiplayer games. Both mom and dad liked making me dance naked. And they got away with it all because the cops would rather believe a woman than her son, though it would not surprise me if my sister was questioned and told what to say by her parents. Sometimes I wonder if my sister telling the truth instead of blindly backing her parents would have helped me get out of that shithole sooner, but such thoughts make it hard for me to think of my sister as a victim of my parents rather than another awful thing in a house full of awful things. Such thoughts make me wonder if maybe she was rotten deep down and that's why she helped this abuse continue and didn't hate it all as much as me. She chose to be another awful thing with her pervert parents after all. A few teachers sexually harassed me over the years, and nobody cared. The systems designed to protect children did not protect me. Sometimes I wonder if I was louder about their sexual abuse of me in threads whenever I talked about my life online, would people have cared? Would my sister get therapy and heal from the shit her parents put her through instead of being the main reason they got away with it? Anyway I've been through a lot of shit. So when leftoids cry "I was sexually harassed!" over being teabagged in Halo or groped in VR Chat I wish they would stop cheapening the words with their groomer whore mouths. Nearly dying today made me realize there is a chance I might die before I get to tell people about my perverted parents.

Telling people about the physical abuse only ever made things and got me put back with my parents. So I didn't trust anyone enough to talk about how my parents sexually exploited me. But I remember this one time when I was a child and my child dick got scratched up by mom's nails. We went to the doctors to get it looked at because she decided to pretend she didn't do it and had no idea where the marks came from. Yeah, she pretended this in her own home, with the boy she hurt, and the delusion she chose to believe compelled her to drive a boy with mystery dick wounds to the hospital to get it checked out. Mom was not smart, but she was enabled by a system meant to enable abusers. Anyway I was given some dick cream. I wish I memorized its name. There were two containers of dick cream, one larger than the other. The large container's contents was to be spread over the whole thing and the little container's contents was to be applied to the scabbed over cuts. When my dick healed up, mom kept using this cream on me until the containers ran out. And then she went back to using antibacterial hand goo, the stuff she used before and after that wounded dick event. Sometimes I wonder if I could ask some doctor for my entire medical history, so I could get some hints at what the fuck those two dick creams were. Did the doctor think I had a STD or something? Did he not think to talk to the boy to see if he was being sexually exploited? What the fuck is wrong with this country?

>all dat
Ngl, I kinda suspected as much.
Fwiw, you're among frens; I was physically/sexually/psychologically abused by a babysitter when I was 4. The abuse wasnt as bad as the mental schism that developed, directed first at my parents and later at 'authority figures'.
The underlying lesson was that I couldnt trust them with my safety and well being, no matter how 'well intentioned' they be (again, this goes for any 'authority'. A valuable lesson, but a difficult one to forgive, all things considered. I cant imagine how difficult it must have been for your parents to BE the abusers, as opposed to unwitting accessories. No one should have to experience that kind of trauma. Jordan Peterson rightfully warns against children being exposed to truly malevolent people in their development, and I think we both - as well as any casual readers who have followed along - can attest to the degree 0f crazy/broken that can and does result from such exposure, and the YEARS of healing and processing that are necessary to work through all the unresolved feelings and concepts.
Thank you for sharing your pain, anon.

>>5551
Not to moralfag and be a huge pussy, but I'm really sorry, anon. My childhood was very similar, just replace sexual abuse with intense physical and psychological abuse. Although, I was sexually abused in my early childhood where some step cousins babysat me and turned it into a "molest the little boy for shits and giggles" event. I don't want to get too specific, but they beat the shit out of me, forcibly stripped me naked, and sexually tormented my traumatized little mind. It happened on several occasions over the span of a few years. They were all female and they all got away with it, not that I wasn't too afraid to mention it anyway. As if anyone would've believed me.
My step dad used to beat the shit out of me so badly that I was afraid to even go to the bathroom because that would involve crossing his path and incurring another beating. I would either piss in bottles or try to quietly sneak out a window to go shit or piss in the woods. I felt less than human because of it. Why did others get to go home to stable families that loved them, while I was living in Hell? I couldn't understand what I did that made me deserve the constant torrents of abuse.
CPS got involved after damn near all my teachers noticed that I was always covered in bruises and flinched any time adults made a sudden move. Nothing came of it and I wound up right back in Hell every time. I remember crying myself to sleep as a little boy and looking out the window, watching headlights pass by, hoping that one would be my biological father and that he'd take me away from that fucking unending nightmare.
Childhood trauma is a real bitch. It's like the system deliberately keeps kids with their abusers.

The only reason I'm telling you this is because I want you to know that you aren't alone. I came to get over it, more or less, by empowering my self through self-improvement and rejecting societal norms. It might sound cliche, but a good physical regimen backed by adopting hobbies and learning combat sports helped me a lot. Maybe such things would help you as well. As a kid, I coped by spending time with animals and bonding with them. Maybe that could help you, too. I always loved animals since I felt more loved by them than other people and they never brutalized or raped me. They helped dull the pain.

Above all else, strive for Independence from others as much as you can.

Either way, I'm rooting for you. Don't let other people and their actions define you. Fuck them. Child abusers and their enablers deserve to be tortured to death with a blowtorch and a pair of pliers.

>>5555
Fucking this. Sorry for your experience, I know it was hard and in ways that most cant comprehend.
Jesus, those digits.
>The only reason I'm telling you this is because I want you to know that you aren't alone
So very based
>Don't let other people and their actions define you. Fuck them
This. So wholly this. (You) are vastly more than the sum of your (adverse) experiences, and enough of us have been through it. Its okay. You're much stronger, much more knowledgeable, and vadtly more capable. You will always be who you 'were', but who you were and what you experienced doesnt define you. (You) are far more than that, now.

>>5556
Thanks for the sympathy. You have mine as well.

I was debating whether or not to say it here, but it seems like this will be the only chance I'll get; we had a nasty spat in another thread a while back and I've been wanting to apologize. It started off as innocuous shitposting, but it quickly got out of hand somewhere between our belligerent replies and I said some really shitty things to you. I feel like I crossed a line with some of the low blows I brought up. Probably the only time I've genuinely felt bad about something I said on a chan. For what it's worth, I'm sorry for being so mean-spirited towards you. It's easy to to get carried away and forget at times that strangers on the Internet are actual people, too.

Sorry for derailing, OP.

>>5557
Pretty sure I know which thread you're talking about and,... yeah that was pretty wild, ngl. Having said, I enjoyed it. So, while your apology is appreciated and acknowledged, I dont feel you have anything to apologize for, and summarily reject the apology.
For one, it was legitimately engaging and exciting. For two, even if it wasnt, I participated willfully. And let's be honest, it was good practice, and it forced me to reevaluate certain points that were brought up. I may seem ambivalent to criticism by and large, but its far more shameful to be told what one's problem is and NOT heed it - even if discourteous - than to ignore it outright. So fwiw, in that some of your criticisms weren't wrong, I did listen, not that I will ever affect any display of it in the moment.
I had it out with one of my brothers a while back, and made a similar apology. He didnt take offense at the time, but I felt I had gotten far nastier in the exchange than I want to be comfortable with, especially in-house. So, I understand what you mean, and any ill will I might have held on to (hypothetically) would be dispatched upon that recognition.

>>5558
>Having said, I enjoyed it.
Honestly, I had a great time, too. I thought it was hilarious until the end when I got more drunk and things got more malicious. I sobered up and felt like a real dick.
I never really mean anything personal when I'm shitty to other anons. At the end of the day, we're not really spraying spaghetti at each other as people, but as anons. Bringing up IRL shit, however, felt kinda gay and shitty afterwards, especially being on an image board. Similar to what you said about your argument with your brother; we all have our standards that we hold ourselves to after a certain point.

It feels good to bury the hatchet. Now let's wait for the usual suspects the express their obsessive love of cock so that we may revel in questioning their sexuality, like old times. Cheers! /)

Gonna have to oppose that one. It was fun for laughs for a while, but recent admissions have confirmed my suspicions; what appears a laughable proclivity to fixate on IS the result of a maladaptive process, leaving unresolved content.
It was fun while hypothetical, but shit just got real. Im gonna play it cool for a while with exception, unrelated to anything ITT

Redesigning characters is hard but rewarding, and fascinating. So many choices and tradeoffs to make. I remember when I was a kid, I used to talk about games like some Sonic fans. "What were these idiotic maniacs thinking when they made this game so bad on purpose?! That's the only way they could make something this bad! Don't they understand the downsides inherent in the creative choices they made? Why would they make choices I don't like? Why didn't they consult anyone smart enough to tell them these ideas wouldn't work? Do they just hate Sonic or something? Are they TRYING to make everyone see Sonic as a joke? Why do they do it wrong instead of doing it right?". It is necessary and healthy to criticize large companies but I wasn't doing it healthily. Then again I was a literal child at the time.
But growing over the years and getting into game development makes me appreciate effort and ambition when it's there. And if there's one thing the Sonic franchise needs to get back, it's ambition. I used to FUCKING LOATHE SONIC BOOM WITH THE INTENSITY OF TEN THOUSAND SUNS (just kidding, I was looking forward to Boom until it looked shit and then I was unhyped for it and didn't buy it. Tv show was fun though). But looking back, even though the games were shit, it's a miracle they turned out as good as they did. It could have been so much worse. It could have been half assed and phoned in but they really tried to make their take on Sonic distinct even with rhe elderly backwards gigaboomers of SEGA doing their thing. They really tried to make a good forgettable bland kid's game even Little Timmy can beat, even if adults would naturally find it dull and devoid of depth(would it have killed them to add stylish combat normally unused by Little Timmy, and an unlockable Hyper Hard difficulty mode that requires it?). There's something beautiful in ambition. The Sonic Boom redesigns were pretty dumb, the excessive sports tape where it did nothing reminded one of mummy bandages. Sonic looks overdesigned in any human clothes, and his proportions don't fit into them like Bugs Bunny's do. In the general consciousness, even if you don't remember what colour Sonic's arms or eyes are, he's naked. Not running around in clothes like some Sonic knockoff. Bugs Bunny has been seen in clothes often enough for people to get used to the idea but Sonic looks overdressed in a jacket even if he is literally pantsless. And maybe they went too far with making Knuckles buff. They probably went too far there, making him slightly taller and buffer than Sonic would probably be enough.
But they still tried to introduce more variation into Sonic's character designs. They had the chance to redesign the cast of Sonic and instead of just giving them a few accessories they said "Let's do our best to do something unusual wirh these characters". They even gave duller colours to NPCs so the main cast would stand out more, and that's something Sonic Forces didn't do. Perhaps it chose not to do that to make brightly coloured Sonic characters blend in with the borderline NFTs that make up Forces's world.
Sonic Boom designs aren't perfect. But it certainly turned out better than that movie studio's first attempt at redesigning Sonic. Everyone who saw that hated it intensely. But Sonic Boom just looked mildly silly at worst. Sometimes I wonder what FIM Boom would look like. The memer says "sports tape and longer legs also AJ looks like their take on Knuckles" but they'd have a completely different set of design philosophies redesigning FIM characters to look less like you started with the cookie cutter mold and then drew their hair and tails on top, while still keeping the characters recognizable. The character design variation in Them's Fighting Herds makes me wonder what it would look like if Lauren Faust was allowed to use such variation when designing the Mane Six. Big The Cat and Vector The Crocodile don't look like typical Sonic characters, but they still look like Sonic characters, even though their species and character identity is so prominent in their design. But some Sonic characters are designed to look like Sonic characters first and their species second.

If you want to see cock, check out Splitter and Refractor, the two new offerings from Bad Dragon! These dildo ovipositor things are ready to really make you feel like a black Hedgehog. Hedgehog? That's right, I'm kidding. These aren't Bad Dragon dildos. They are alien laser weapons in Shadow The Hedgehog. I can overlook the name Splitter, but "Refractor"? Like the refractory period? They knew exactly what they were doing.

>"Arkham? Is that a Batman refefence?"
No, it's a Lovecraft reference.
>"Woah, is this a Future Trunks/Silver The Hedgehog ripoff?"
No, it's ripping off Terminator 2.
>"this is just like the horcruxes in Harry Potter-"
Nothing in Harry Potter is original, see The Worst Witch, Discworld, Groosham Grange, Eleanor Estes' The Witch Family first published in 1960. The 1986 movie Troll, and more. The concept of a videogame respawn point was hardly rare at the time of writing though it likely ripped off the Liches and their Phylacteries from DND, which probably took its inspiration from Koschei the Deathless who hid his soul in a needle, put the needle in an egg, and escalated from there.
Why does pop culture forget the origins of copied things once the copies are copied? If I see one more NPC claim anything with the Philosopher's Stone is ripping off Harry Potter, I'll have a fucking stroke.

>>5567
>Why does pop culture forget the origins of copied things once the copies are copied?
Because pop culture is the antithesis of high culture.

>>5567
Because most people don't really have enough general culture knowledge to know where the philosohper's stone comes from, nor do they really care to research it, they just take it at face value.
Everyone is like this, to some degree so it's pointless to be mad at people for not knowing something.

As an example, how many people know that dynamite contains nitroglicerine?
And how many people know that TNT and dynamite are two unrelated things?
Or that TNT sticks and black gunpowder are also two unrelated things?

I'm using these three well known explosives as an example, because most people know TNT, dynamite and gunpowder.

>"Woah, is this a Future Trunks/Silver The Hedgehog ripoff?"
>No, it's ripping off Terminator 2.
Both were published/aired the same year tho, kinda sus

>>5585
DBZ and Terminator I mean

>>5586
Oh fuck the matrix is glitching. Maybe we're in the Injectorverse and a Code Holder died.
Future Trunks first appears in chapter #331 The Young Boy of Mystery (謎の少年, Nazo no Shōnen), published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on July 15, 1991. But Terminator 2 was first released in USA on 16 August 1991.
How the fuck did this happen? Future Trunks has the exact same hairstyle as young John Connor!
Maybe the author saw Terminator 1 and ripping it off caused the result to resemble T2 through sheer coincidence, and maybe the Toriyama saw adverts of T2 featuring the boy and stole the hair from there? Was that hairstyle normal back then?

Anyway I thought of something... You know that meme about a lobotomized woman who's legally an object used as a breeding tool? The thought of producing one intentionally sounds fucked up.
What if an alien race produced those naturally while also producing normal offspring in greater numbers?
If an alien race gave birth to several of their own species at once per pregnancy, always producing one "Runt" per "litter" and that runt is basically designed to serve this purpose upon growing old enough and cannot survive without being cared for like a houseplant or beloved pet, would that be fucked up or what?

In The Simpsons, Moe runs Moe's Tavern. But every time Bart Simpson pranks him, he wants to be a Bart-ender!

And it just keeps going and going! It never fucking stops! And I'm not talking about me, I've been shitting normally ever since I changed my diet for the better. Okay there was that period where too much protein made shitting painful so I toned it down. It was such a gay conversation condensed into the time it takes a real man to shit like he's got something to prove to God. But apart from that...
FAGS ARE GAY.

>>5593
You sound like you need a break from the faggotry, Anon. Buy an old cruiser motorcycle, micro dose lsd, and slowly ride through the deserted roads of the American Southwest. Choose the mechanical mare, friend. See you on the road.
Also, I hate shitting in other people's homes, too. It's always very intense and it kicks my ultra male instincts into overdrive. Like, I could snap and go crazy at anyone who dares to spook me. I always like to have a piece of 180 grit sandpaper to wipe my ass with afterwards because it really adds a nice edge to the wild adrenaline rush I get from giving someone the customary upper decker. Fully erect and primed for combat the entire time due the endorphins, of course. Really gets me in the mood to do some ultra violence. People never really know just how close they are to death when I poop in their vicinity. That's how real Aryan men shit - with primal authority and murderous intent.

>>5594
Haha, nice. I wish I could afford a motorcycle. Even a bike would do. But not a gay one. A fast one. Something that defiantly cries freedom over wind resistance's roar.

Sometimes when I write I feel stopped by the thought "I can't put that in my work, that's someone's fetish". Is this normal?
A scene where someone deals with quicksand, or hunger, or sickness... there are fetishes for that. Fetishes for sneezing. Fetishes for thirst. A character searching for footprints? Some karen's going to say I'm horny for feet. I can't make a character awkwardly stare at the feet of another character, unable to meet her gaze, or karens will say I want to fuck feet or my character wants to fuck feet. Nobody can piss or shit themselves or vomit or get drunk or some sicko in the audience will get hard. There are people with fetishes for ant bites. Not tiny tits, literal insect bites. If it exists, someone out there has a fetish for it, even if it's something epenistomologically divorced from sex entirely like gambling on a diarrhea sneeze and betting it all on white only to land on brown, or that thing where somebody lands parachuting and the chute falls on them or gets them stuck in trees. Perverted women get off on periods and talking about them in inappropriate places. I know about all this shit, someone showed me the list of fetishes and his blocklist on some furry porn site. For him to look around safely and appreciate the high quality paintings on that site without having his eyeballs assaulted with shitting dick nipples, he has to block a fucking colossal set of words and phrases and slang terms you would never think anyone would draw even at gunpoint. Remember that scene in Hellsing Abridged where some baddie threatened to fuck wounds? Wound fucking is a tag on porn sites because sickos out there like it.

>>5597
>I wish I could afford a motorcycle.
You probably can. You can find loads of serviceable bikes for under $2k if you're willing to travel to get it.
>But not a gay one.
Then make sure not to listen to any of the oldfags-gone-tranny on /o/. They're both gay and stupid and they like gay and stupid shit.
For real though, you might have a great time if you try something new and shed away from all the background faggotry. The mechanical mare will give you freedom.
>Is this normal?
Not really. I think you're being way too paranoid. Most people don't have bizarre fetishes and you shouldn't compromise on making what you want because some weirdo might get off on it. Nobody would write anything if they thought that way. I mean, there are even giga chads creeps out there that are into cartoon horses, but I wouldn't let it stop me from making what I want to make!

>>5594
Whenever I enter a stranger's home, I usually take a shit in their bathroom to establish dominance. I don't know about you guys, but whenever I take a shit I like to completely disrobe and squat on top of the toilet seat like a Slav in order to achieve maximum Challenger-1986-level explosive power.

It's important when shitting in a stranger's home to make as much noise as is humanly possible, not only the obvious sorts of noises, but also loud shouts, grunts, and primal screams. The purpose of this is to create a tangible battle aura that can be felt throughout the residence. This will not only identify you to the other occupants as an alpha male worthy of respect, it will also purge the house of evil spirits. If the mirror setup is conducive to it, I also like to flex my arms and admire my physique like Patrick Bateman while I'm taking a shit. Oftentimes, I will look my reflection in the eye and offer myself loud words of encouragement in between primal screams.

When I'm finished, I usually take a complete 30-minute shower while continuing to scream words of encouragement to myself in the mirror. Only when my personal grooming ritual is complete do I refasten my pants and step out into the hall. I usually wait an additional 30 minutes before putting my shirt back on, unless the person whose house I'm visiting is particular about their furniture.

>>5598
Yeah, you're right! Worrying about what projecting perverts will say about you is stupid. Can you believe projecting perverts called the big boobies in my game "fetishistic"? They don't even grow or jiggle! She just has tits because the bigger the boobs, the more of her character design gets covered by something.

Remember that moment in final fantasy X where you make the arduous trek up that mountain with minimal save points, and it exhausts you and your characters? By the time it's over, the relief almost compares to encountering a landmark when hiking, a sign that you've made it far and this path doesn't stretch on forever. It'a all artificial but it was a brilliant design choice. I never get that feeling in Pokemon because Pokemon is not really a good RPG. It doesn't blend story and gameplay well and it lacks a story good enough to excuse this even when the authors think 80 hours of bloated nothing dialogue deserve to be mandatory. You aren't going on an adventure with your Pokemon, you are watching a movie and sometimes unpausing it. Pokemon will never force you to keep moving straight on a one way path that only gets harder outside of fangames and intentionally restricts access to healing, Fly/Teleport/Dig, and so on. There are always ways to return home for easy healing and the series is too easy for your healing item stash to ever run low in or out of combat. You can grind infinitely for EXP and little is done to forbid overlevelling a starter and disregarding the game'a "complex" mechanics. Access to infinite resources in return for time makes the game a question of how much time you are willing to waste. And there are clown consoomers who claim I am violating Pokemon or their pokemon experience by reducing the grind in my games. Fuck that. Grind is a symptom of bad design and reused content and padding. Nobody would be impressed if a Mario remake forced you to replay every level two to four times before you Level Up and can move on. Nobody would be impressed if you needed an unknown number of coins collected to be able to overcome each enemy without speedrunner glitch strats but collecting too many coins made the game unplayably easy. Making most gamea more like a RPG can be used to intelligently drip feed the player positive feedback for playing correctly and experiencing 100% content instead of skipping vital shit or it can be used to justify content reuse and introduce unreactable uncontrollable bullshit randomness and poor user experience where it never belonged. Imagine a puzzle game where your solution is only accepted if your Puzzle Level is high enough and only repeating previously solved puzzles can raise that level! Pokemon should be fully evolved and level capped at lv50 (perhaps even lv30?) and you should hit that level by the time you are ready for your first gym in an open world game where the gym leaders are real challenges and grinding cannot give you cheats to make the game easier. As a kid I could endure grinding because my options and freedoms were restricted heavily, but as an adult grinding makes me think of the more productive shit I could do instead. Chad games like Doom Eternal and Devil May Cry make you git gud. Chad competition in competitive fighters makes you git gud. baby games like the gayest mobile games use your time wasted on them as a badge of honour and artificially extend it by gating progression through content designed to ensnare you, not entertain you or teach you. Lifting a barbell one million times will make you buff. You will outlive the faggot who killed one million Zigzagoon on Route 1 with his 6 Zigzagoon so Pickup can RNG grind for expensive ingame items in a fangame/romhack that felt like gating items and services behind the grind.

So, you claim there is nothing lurid, nor fetishistic, nor tittilating about your decision to put enormous boobs on your character, and you're citing that the boobs dont grow or jiggle as evidence to support that position? Please, post a pic of the character and let the audience decide if theres nothing to it.

Huh. Apparently you have come up with more than one ridiculously big-tittied charachter. Nothing to read into that Im sure.
No, I was talking about the bunny girl, not the pokemon mod girl. Still, nothing sus about those titties, and only a fetishist would see anything in them.

Oh wait, that IS a bunny girl.
I meant the platformer bunny girl, not the pokemon bunny girl. How many ridiculously tittied bunny girls have you inserted btw? Nothing to read into tho, its perfectly normal.

Motivation... it's a hell of a drug. My sleep schedule is a roulette wheel and sometimes it lands on gold.
Did you know I designed a card game as a child, when I didn't own Yugioh or Pokemon cards but I saw some episodes of the show and extrapolated from there? Made the crap out of paper with a pen. No scissors, so I folded paper and tore it.
I even designed the game to work in single player. Designated "villain archetypes" are designed to flowchart on autopilot, they drew one card per turn and each was designed to autotrigger optimally for the archetype. This solves the "nothing stops the player of single player card games from making things easier on himself by choosing to make the villain make suboptimal plays", I saw a youtube series on card games and it turns out this is something a fucking huge card game years later didn't think of. Hero Decks for the players were designed to be used in various combinations and provide options a human can choose from while Villain Decks are designed to autopilot and summon big beatstick. I'm not going to say my game was perfect, the monsters were hardly unique and the art was shit and all enemy archetypes devolved into "summon big number of big numbers and attack for game" but it's funny that yugioh somewhat devolved into that anyway. I had all these homemade cards, and my mother fucking hated them. Every time she searched my room and found scraps of paper in my drawers, no matter what was drawn on them, she would rage because "paper doesn't belong there" and "your drawers are messy if they are not empty" and "ripped paper belongs in the bin" and "notebooks aren't real notes" and "why the fuck are you making random symbols on this paper is this some kind of secret code?" and "don't draw that character he's not fucking real" and "don't draw people, you're not good at it and I'm not paying for art lessons and you probably wouldn't listen to them anyway" and "if I knew you were going to entertain yourself with paper why did I buy that family sized TV" (as if she didn't buy it for herself, as if I had any say in what she spent her money on or what it showed when she wanted to watch something). Dad was the same faggotish way. Desperate to invent excuses to be upset enough to start guilt slinging and whining about how cruel God was for giving him a kid that liked preparing his underwear inside his pants to make putting them on marginally quicker. The kind of people who forced their kids to hang dried clothes up in the messy thorn infested "garden" because someone slapped my parents whenn they were kids one time long ago for not doing hanging up wet washing. Irrational faggots full of tard rage desperate to get mad over fucking something, anything, no matter how small. Abnormality was not to be tolerated unless the TV told them to fetishize it. The kind of people who got mad at their kids for wearing shirts they didn't like but gave no indication of what the right shirts were. They wanted everything their way even if it was wrong and they couldn't tolerate any disruption from what they wanted to happen even if their actions had no way of influencing causality positively. If they decided things worked a certain way, they expected reality to change to suit them, and they hated God because he didn't bend over backwards to please them. Dad was the kind of faggot who drove dangerously on the road and screamed about other drivers driving dangerously like him (or rarely, even worse) but most of all he screamed when they allowed him to make things dangerous by not going out of their way to accomodate his reckless narcissistic driving style. You will find a better understanding of cause and effect and probability and the real world in a gachaniggerfaggot who wastes his gibsmedats on jpeg gambling, or cardboard jpeg gambling, while whining about monkey jpeg purchasing which I also hate but the hypocrisy there is funny. I fucking swear, sometimes those retarded narcissistic normie parents of mine seemed to have anti-autism. They used to think turning on the cooker would make the water coming out of the tap unsafe to drink while the cooker was active and it did not. When they had money they felt the urge to waste it as quickly as possible before they wasted it on something dumber. They're weird but in ways that makes them function worse as intellectual individuals. They don't follow their own logic, or real logic, they just make shit up on the fly and expect others to pretend it makes sense while picking up their slack. Instead of liking when things are rational and orderly therefore being different from the norm or not giving a shit about norms they were just abnormally awful and thought their made up belief of the week mattered more than reality. Msitua, they had severe fucking Msitua. The world will be a better place when they invent a drug that cures Msitua and every narcissistic boomer has to take it until they can pass cognitive tests. Then again my narcissistic sociopathic mother was somehow certified sane. So maybe the tests aren't working and wouldn't work in that situation. I hate my parents because they molested and abused me. But if they didn't molest or abuse me I would still hate them for being annoying irrational petty little bitches. I forgot where I was going with this.

*notebooks aren't real books

Kanto in pokemon is homosexual. No intelligent world design, just grass and dirt roads and sometimes water. Barely 100 pokemon in the wild to obtain and you still see repeats clogging up routes with what feels like 0.0001% encounter rates.

>>5608
It was also the first region of Pokemon. Naturally it had it's own problems that were improved upon in later editions.

>>5609
I know it was the first. And not the worst Pokemon generation. It just bugs me when the nostalgia blind call it perfect. Graphical limitations of the time certainly played a role in keeping this world visually simple and filling it with loadscreens. And whose idea was it to gate fossilmon behind a location you can only access if your team already has a water pokemon to use Surf? And the fucking port of Vermillion is land locked unless you decide to interpret the bike road as a bridge that can retract or rise. In the end revamping Kanto too much would take away from what makes it Kanto.
Nothing makes you learn the value of subtractive design like a minimalist challenge. I think just one button of my character can make him bullshit blazing. Bur for the hell of it... Let's give him 4.

God fucking damn it, Sega.

On a scale of 1 to 10, "this game we spent 5 years on is actually a beta test for the idea of open world sonic zones in Sonic Adventure 3, so please buy this if you want sonic adventure 3" is a new fucking low for desperate embarassing little Sega.

They know fans want SA3. So they try to tie it into this. They knew fans wanted Mania, so they tried to tie Mania to Forces. They knew fans wanted Sonic 4 in the style of S3+K, so they tied Sonic Mobile Game shovelware to the name.

I would be fine with another dogshit game to not buy. Haven't bought one of them in a long time. It wouldn't bother me if Sega's new game was bad. Just another disappointment in the string of disappointments. Five years for this? That makes it funnier. But then they had to go and make it unfunny. That choice to market it as "a beta test for SA3 concepts" disgusts me. The copium-huffing megacorpo apologists desperately trying to shill for this game and dismiss criticism are eating good tonight. Easy to be hyped for a game that doesn't exist and might never exist. You get to fantasize about what it might be, before Sega snaps you back to reality by showing you what you are going to pay for and enable more of by supporting Sonic Team's minimal effort policy.

I don't want to be too harsh on Sega as a whole because I respect their policy on allowing fangames to exist instead of sadistically C+D'ing them right before they release like Nintendo. But holy shit! It's a new low for the company that makes me and everyone else who ever liked this franchise embarassed to say we like the Sonic series or even Sonic characters, because they are associated with dogshit games and the dumbest mistakes this company ever made. If it wasn't for the impressive Sonic fangames I would hesitate to admit I ever liked Sonic.

Bronies have the famous weirdos and iceberg trivia videos but none compare to the infamy of Chris-Chan. And if you don't know enough Sonic to know about Chris-Chan, you know enough about Sega to know they cannot make good Sonic games, because you saw clips of the games glitching in ways that would be unacceptable for low budget amateur unpaid indie fangames. Children doing their best for free would be laughed at for making anything as janky as Sega's worst games. The last good Sonic game was S3+K, Mania was made by fans smarter than anyone at Sega. More passionate. More driven. More kmowledgeable about what makes a videogame good or bad.

Smug consoomers love to ask "Do you really know more about what makes Sonic work than Sega/Sega's chosen?" with the tone they use for saying "Do you really know more about medicine than the experts?". But those guys literally outsource the labour of thinking and making their own choices to megacorporations and governments and consider free thinkers foolish for not doing the same.

Sonic Adventure 3 isn't a game. It isn't a piece of software any company can produce. It's an idea that exists in the heart. Fangames made with the heart, and the desire to accomplish and perfect the ambitious things Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 tried to achieve are Sonic Adventure 3 where it counts, no matter what they are called. If it has good 3d movement, it's Sonic Adventure 3 where it counts... in the heart.

I hope that guy who used to draw a Squidward nose on my OC's old design is still around. When researching religions I found out about the jewish sephiroth neon genesis evangelion tree thingy and it reminded me of the old star constellation mark design.
The jew star has 5 points. I think I'll redesign my oc's symbol so the ten stars have 4 points.
4 pointed stars don't represent anything gay, right?

Mobile gaming is profitable because predatory psychological manipulation is so effective on people.
The dumbest people are particularly weak to it.
It's one thing to lock content behind paywalls. It's understandable if the game is free. But RNG paywalls? That's inexcusable.
The more profitable predatory mobile scamgames get, the more companies will be tempted to create scammy scummy mobile games or reshape their games to include predatory mobilegame scam mindfucks.
Gacha whales literally make the gaming industry worse by giving money to companies who design their games to psychologically manipulate the vulnerable and the stupid.
Those who spend money on mobile games are enabling the industry's worst practices. They should be viewed with suspicion and disgust. Or pity if their worst impulses are exploited to make them pay up.
But those who defend this predation?
Unforgiveable. Inexcusable. Dirt a dog shat on has more value than any soulless consoomer who would say "I'm having fun with my gacha game so shut up" or "psychological shit doesn't affect me because I only spend money when I want to or have to" or "just let people enjoy things" or "lmao i don't care about my money because I have so much of it but I would rather die than give it to charity".
Dirt cats shit on has more value than any gacha defender combined. What Jew would enable the psychological abuse this industry intentionally inflicts on the disabled, the young, the elderly, and anyone else vulnerable for any other reason.
Hell, even playing these games without paying is pretty fucking gay since you're giving in to your RPGfag urge to grind for meaningless rewards, inflating the playerbase and making it seem psychologically valuable for other players to pay for advantages over you.
Any game with gacha could remove RNG from payment to remove the scummy scam and nothing valuable to the core experience would be lost. No game needs to gate progression behind RNG of any kind unless it is trying to Skinner Box you to some degree.
A free game where you pay for things? Where you pay for gems to spend on things? Where you pay for gems to spend on boxes that might contain things and keys to open boxes? Where you spend money on gems in bullshit amounts, Diablo Immortal style, so you can either spend too much or too little and end up with too many gems left over or just enough gems for many rolls? Bullshit!
Any free game that makes its money some other way (ads, paid upgrades, skippable grind, paid conveniences, money-gated cosmetics, etc) could offer a Paid Version with all content included in the base game. And it would be on the developer to try and make the Paid Version seem appealing but not too appealing.
I know lootbox laws can be worked around. Instead of selling the Helmet Of Doom or selling 490 gems for 10 dollars or 1050 gems for 22 dollars and making the Helmet Of Doom cost 1000 gems, a scamgame could sell consumable keys (five dollars for three or ten dollars for a pack of 5) to let you into a limited time randomly generated dungeon where the enemies might spawn a Helmet Of Doom when killed. Or maybe a randomly generated dungeon with a chance to spawn an enemy who always drops the Helmet Of Doom when killed with the Sword Of Wind, sold separately for four dollars. Laws could be passed to legislate the obvious cases of bullshit and it would take court cases on an individual basis to financially punish any attempt to weasel around these laws. Then again some games don't even get a gambling warning on them if they pay enough, while other games have to remake or remove moments of fake gambling. That niggerball game got away with real gambling for real money and Pokemon had to remove the Game Corner for parodying gambling with imaginary money(payouts are few and the best way to get expensive pokemon is to purchase coins for them. Yeah, it's a Team Rocket operation).
Although if any government did get control over the content of games it would be used for political censorship. Or as a tool to keep the poor from doing something only the rich can do. Hell, I'm surprised "no skeletons lmao" China isn't trying to push their shit further. They already demanded Guilty Gear censor the names of countries China abused in the lore codex.
That shit Diablo Immortal does where you can pay for buffs that enhance you and your teammates, so some players kick teammates that aren't "paying enough to pull their weight"... That is utterly disgraceful. I would expect this in a joke game meant to mock gacha games.
Hell, the consumable Easy Fatality tokens in Mortal Kombat for sale seemed like something out of a parody game at the time.
When enough customers are pissed and their voices are not drowned out by valueless consoomers, the companies listen and tone down the abusive monetization levels but only when they think they have to. Dirt crying out "treat all gamers like dirt and I will support you" gets in the way.
It is hard to believe that once upon a time, governments thought pinball machines were gambling and wanted to ban them.
Streamers who market gambling and gacha to their audiences is just as disgusting whether the gambling is for Counter Strike shit or NFTs or gacha girls. Raid Shadow Legends can kiss my fucking ass.
I still remember the first time I saw a youtuber pissed that some gun game (COD? Battlefield? Something with helicopters and realistic humans) was selling guns in a FPS. He produced a sarcastic video where every new feature like "realistic graphics" and "new facial models" are followed up with hastily read fine print like "Realistic graphics sold separately" and "this guy costs extra".
The frog boils.
If enough people hate gachafags, and if gachafags feel too embarassed to defend their chosen beloved corporate abuser or admit they spend money on it, the frogboiling might slow, perhaps even stop.
At the very least, publishers and companies might hesitate to pivot from gaming to gachaxploitation.

God I fucking missed parties and game nights with friends. God I missed them. Missed the taste of party food, dumb jokes, commentary, gaming with the boys, everything. Even got to beta test my sonic shit with the lads. It's appealing to the hardcore and others. Very accessible, even for a disabled friend and someone with no significant fighting game experience or ability to motion input consistently or remember which direction is "forwards" after a crossup. Good thing my game uses Smash style simple motions. Friend's girl was able to play, went easy on the bullshit and allowed her a chance to learn the basics before I escalated into specials. Can't believe Street Fighter 6 has an easy mode now, also cant believe they didnt condense characters to a 4 button Light Medium Heavy Special layout like MVC2 for both control schemes. I might have gone too far in a few places with a certain original character donut steel, pro gamer friend found the jank and exploited it. Now that's a bug report. Thought I'd fixed the jank, turns out I had not. Fuck this I'm bringing back guard cancels. Have you ever been locked down in the corner for an infinite blockstring? Don't even need to mix at that point. Toning this down from what it was... I hope to town down the bullshit while still keeping the bullshit blazing. Can't lose that "a hyperactive fox dragon unicorn phoenix on caffeine coded this" energy, it's part of the sanic fighter's identity. Better name pending, I can't actually release this to the world as "Sanic Le Fighterz XD Erector's Cut". Fucking HUD like an expand dong meme windows 69 XP edition. Seemed funny at the time for a placeholder but now i'm getting attached to it.

Balan Wonderworld? More like Bland-ass Blunderworst.

>>5622
Damn straight. Simplicity is overrated. A child's block toy is simple. A children's book is simple... usually. But nobody praises kiddie stories for being simple and means it. If they did they would praise simpler gayer stories for being simpler. Plenty of great games have their creation funded by retarded companies that think simplifying their game will improve profits. But accessibility is the key, not simplicity.

Lord Of The Rings is accessible because children can read it and understand enough of it to appreciate it, even though smarter children and smarter adults will appreciate more of it. It is also inaccessible to those with short attention spans or little free time because of its length. And it is inaccessible to those prejudiced against fantasy because "hurr durr why should I care about bazbo bloppins and the magical moon elves of magictopia? My only exposure to fantasy is parodies of it and I think that's the fantasy genre's problem also i am gay and smelly and silly". But LOTR cannot become more accessible without losing something valuable. It is already a book you can read or have read to you. Similarly a fighting game is a game you can play or get played for you by your opponent, but not really because making bad choices that accomplish nothing except letting your opponent steamroll you is still a sequence of choices to make. But the intentionality... the point at which saying "I meant to do that" ceases to be a lie... to first develop intentionality you must understand what the buttons do. And motion inputs are one step too far from what videogames usually ask of you. Directional inputs are fine though. And "special button plus another button" are fine too, just like "aim down sights plus shoot". Fighting games aren't really about the specials or supers, they are about the interactions between two players, their choices, and their numbers. But gating specials and supers behind "cOmPlIcAtEd iNpUtS" makes the genre feel more inaccessible than it really is. My game seeks to help newcomers into the genre by making a real fighting game through minimalist accessibility.

Reading Fallout Equestria's 600k words would take 103ish hours, and there are many retards who defend bad MMORPGs by saying "It gets good after 100 hours". That's the kind of free time some people have. Holy shit.

>>5627
I think devs put bullshit grinds into games intentionally to sell DLC.
Weird how gaming doesn't get treated like other industries. Imagine buying a new car and being told that your radio will only work 70% of the time unless you either drive for a thousand hours or install the "bonus" software at a marginal fee of $5000. Lawsuits would be flying into the courts like niggers into a welfare line.
I hate modern gaming and fanboy gamers that enable dev bullshit so much. I seethe so very hard.

>>5629
>I think devs put bullshit grinds into games intentionally to sell DLC.
They really do. Nothing put into Diablo Immortal to make more money was there accidentally. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o17lBUZgjTs

And this was not an accident. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FEUPzgis1eg

And this was not an accident. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S_9QHGMfLO8

Not to mention the Power Creep DLCs seen in Fighting Games, where some new characters end up so strong there's talk of banning them, or as gimmicky mid-tiers whose gimmick you will only have experience dealing with (outside of tricks learned from youtube) if you buy the character to practice against in training mode or frequently fight someone who bought the character. Bardock invalidated so much of the cast when he was OP. Z Broly blocks my attacks with his face, 16 frame command grabs me unreactably, and laughs in my face before blowing me up with his zero effort super armour normals and multi supers. SSJ4 Goku gets 2 air dashes, excellent attacks, easy dragon balls, an instant kill gated by use of a taunt you can do many times per combo, and more. And then Labcoat 21 struts in sluttily with a 14 frame fullscreen beam that's just -3 when tiger kneed, a fucking OTG in a game that hates them, an unreactable command grab that nerfs the opponent and buffs her specials, and more. Teams made early in the game's life are nothing now because who would put Yamcha or Krillin or Piccolo or SSJ Goku or Hit or Tien on your team when DLC "blessed" us with the Blue Man Group and their bastard redheaded stepchildren?

Does SSJ Yellow Goku still have that slow as fuck nerfed 2M compared to his pallete swaps Blue Goku and Black Goku(not to be confused with Goku Black aka Pink Goku)?

The overpowered DLC fucks were just designed to be good, and easy. Like Luke from Street Fighter 5 who was designed to be a top tier, maybe the best character in the game. Don't get me started on Oro shit. I'm glad I never bought SFV. If you want to compete at a high level you need to pick these cheating god characters or get matchup experience against them, and you can't get that without the help of someone who bought them.

I wish fighting games took the League Of Legends approach only less bullshit. No grinding and no power for sale. A free to play fighting game, with rollback netcode and a proper fucking training mode at launch(plus guilty gear reload's god-tier replay function), where paid cosmetics are available for casual play but banned in tournament. Toss in a Pokken style customizable avatar with no effect on gameplay so items for that OC donut steel can cost cash. Perhaps a Player Home system where you can buy shit to decorate your house aka the way your Private Lobby works when inviting friends over or opening it up to others and giving out the password. No making me pay extra to make frame data visible (fuck you Tekken) or making me pay extra for a story mode or to give it a better ending or mini sequel, no bullshit power creep where the most expensive characters turn out to be the best and the final DLC ruins the game for everyone involved so everyone will want to move on to the next game when it comes out without these OP characters (fuck you Smash 4 Cloud and Bayonetta, fuck Elphelt and Johnny, fuck any OP bullshit Smash Ultimate DLCs I don't play smash any more, fuck Kokonoe from when she was bullshit, fuck Labcoat 21, and more).

If Nintendo could patch Melee they would sell us a Fire Emblem character who crushes 90% of the roster for free, has winning matchups against the top tiers, and makes Brawl Meta Knight look fair and balanced. Competitive melee would die overnight and everyone who misses games without... I don't fucking know Kellam? ...would preorder Smash VI for lacking Kellam only to drop it when they put him in again.

>>5634
Hell, the video on Labcoat 21 missed shit. She's even better than the video makes her out to be. She deserved to be banned, even UI Goku Blanco at his most bullshit (aka on release, so people could purchase the power everyone at every tournament was forced to buy and use) wasn't this cancerous. https://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=DBFZ/Lab_Coat_Android_21

I hope none of my Sonics ever get this bullshit broken.

Naruto has a giant fox inside him and sometimes he's a girl, he's kissed a guy his age, he once bonded with another guy his age over the giant male things forced inside them when they were both babies, something deep inside them were once sucked out by older men, an old man fingered Naruto's ass, Naruto once had every inch of his body fingered by a guy his age, the power of male homosexuality helped Naruto seal away ninja jesus's evil mother, and it's still less gay than most animes because at least there's no oni-chan little sister libtard pandering lolishit. I described Naruto homosexually for fun but it was a bit gay at times. Still not as gay as some animes. The leftist fetish for androgyny stems from their immense pedophilia and state of arrested mental development. Physical differences between men and women upset the delusion that their kink for prettyboy popstar men and ugly girly men and incompetent toxic mannish women is better than normalcy, this is part of why they hate healthy tomboy gfs and bikini armour for strong female characters upset them. The other part is their hatred for beauty. Small children are to be protected. Anime shouldn't try to pander to democrats with brain damaged childish characters who will look young forever and be young forever. If an adult character looks like a small character that's tragic for her, because only perverts will be into that. Anime characters should have huge fucking tits. That's how you know they're mature. Also I like tits. Tits are better than asses. That thing where you can see the peak of a woman's thighs thanks to her low cut jeans/skirt/whatever is also better than ass. What are those officially called? I have heard them called cum gutters and vagina bones.But that sounds too lewd to be the technical term. Anyway media will only get more horny as society's tolerance for horniness grows. So some healthy media should find a way to be intensely horny in a healthy way. Perhaps more healthy wholesome families with countless offspring and no gay sitcom "life sucks for large families" lies. Perhaps more wholesome love stories where offscreen sex is implied to happen often and last practically forever once the couple gets together. Sex jokes except instead of "your mom's a whore" and "I fucked your mom" it's "Your aunt's a childless cat lady with over 300 sexual partners and none of them thought she was worth a damn" and "Tell your mom I can't do this any more, I have a wife now, and kids".

Also Eggman is retarded and nobody ever talks about this but he's really on a downward spiral mentally. In SA1 he fires a missile into Station Square when he is very close to Station Square. When it fails to explode he flies over to detonate it in person. SA2, he blows up a big chunk of the moon when he could have held Earth at gunpoint and said "Surrender now or I blow up most of earth in a few hours and keep firing until the survivors tell me I'm in charge of Earth now". He fucked the world up in Advance 3. And he seems to think ancient deities, uncontrollable robots, magic relics, and living superpowered beings almost on par with Sonic are toys he can play with unsafely.

What's your favourite Eggman Moment?

Not sure why ID changes sometimes. I blame the dogshit wifi extenders in my house. Anyway does my backstory ever seem unrealistically awful when it comes to my parents? They were child molestors, so they were cunts. And they were also cunts for reasons unrelated to the way they'd jack me off or make me dance naked or make me watch degenerate shit with them. If they were characters in a book I'm sure some editor would feel the urge to say "It seems excessive for them to be both child molestors and retards who also hate kittens, puppies, small children, books, freedom, sunshine, love, whites, and productive hobbies" but anyone who's been in those sorts of situations can tell you people willing to be awful in huge ways for fun won't think twice about being awful in small ways for fun. They were pure fucking evil.

OP finally got his wish

The truth is like glass. If you can't see it, change your point of view. And if you don't think it exists, you will walk into glass walls.

Seems the primary appeal of gay emoshit is the self indulgent ego-comforting way they pretend misery is something unavoidable and tragic, and never a consequence of a nihilistic unhealthy lifestyle. Hell, the media tries to glorify it, sell it as something that makes you special. People can be sad for many reasons but this media pretends it's an inevitable fact of life that makes the unhealthy better people than the healthy. Stronger. Healthier. Deadlier. "If you have no reason to live, consoom product". Spoiled rich boys pretending they have it hard, pretending they're oppressed, pretending their misery makes them special, pretending their nihilism and sloth are consequences of unavoidable unconquerable misery inherent to the human experience as they lie about being dangerous or preach the "virtues" of lacking virtue. Born to die, world is a fuck, parodies are better than the real thing because they aren't trying to sell you a product, they're mocking the corpos out to sell you a lie packaged with the trash music. As someone raised in a shit place I know how tempting it can be to give up on life. But holy shit, this sort of big corpo feels-media shit makes me embarassed to say I have ever felt anything.

Guys is it a bad sign if your woman's crying in her room and doesn't want you to go in and try to make her feel better, even though her faggot parents are the ones who made her cry?

>>5673
Don't think so. Just let her have her time to herself. Make a nice dinner or a comfy pizza night with movie or something so she has something good to come to once she is done thinking about her troubles. She will talk about it if she feels she is ready. The best you can do is create an environment fully devoid of any problems or reminders of the trouble she might have with her parents. Be the /comfy/ zone that is all about you two and not about anything else in the world. But this is just what I think is best not claiming I know the answer.

>>5567
Bet if I wrote about a robot-maker named "Dr Link" with a robot named "Adam" and a dog named "Terry", most readers would say "omg this is a Doctor Light from Mega Man and Link from Legend of Zelda and Terry Bogard from Smash reference! And the robot's literally Mega Man or the biblical Adam from The Simpsons! Also this is a reference to Will Smith movie I Robot or something by Issac Asimov, whoever that is!". No idea that I got this from Eando Binder's "I, Robot" after hearing about it in a youtube video essay.
>>5674
Giving her space before inviting her to the maximum comf zone was a genius idea. I felt like I needed to rush in and be there for her in the moment even though I had no idea what to say. But this works too. I made an adorable pillow and blanket fort for her atop our bed and put away all the clocks and turned off the alarms, leaving our phones outside. No distractions. No annoying noises from her phone.

Fuck her phone.

Holy fucking shit her phone noises are annoying. Practically anti-ASMR. Does that already exist? Obnoxious sounds to hurt the ear and soul? Probably exists. Probably has its fans.

I think I could write a good romance story now, because I get it. Romance and people are still confusing. But this woman is fundamentally good so she doesn't hate me for months if I misunderstand things. As a teen I fantasized about the sort of person I might end up with and the sort of things we might do, but those fantasies were just the fantasies of a horny isolated depressed raped person doing his best. It's hard to describe how fantasies slip away when you encounter someone real and care about her in ways you never thought you could. I don't want to do anything perverse with her because fuck perversion. I remember being terrified I would be unable to love anyone. Terrified flashbacks of my parents sexually abusing me would get in the way of my capacity to fuck. I want to reclaim all of my sexuality and draw my OC with his cock out, nude and unashamed. But I don't want people to think I'm a pervert. And I don't want people flooding inappropriate places with that image. What should I do?

>>5673
You got a Girlfriend?

I don't know what the point of the mask is. But I am taking it off.
The truth is it does not bug me that whatshername's comic ideas fucking sucked when I knew her. I also sucked at stuff when I knew her. We weren't experienced pros in the industry. Talking about what I didn't like about her comics distracted me from her and helped me cope with the regret. I felt lonely when I talked to her. Lonely and not listened to. She wasn't consistently unfair to me when it came to communicating and what she expected from me vs what I could expect from her. But she was often and I dom't think she ever realized. I'm not good at relationships or communication. I shouldn't blame myself for how she chose to be but maybe if I had grown a pair by the time I met her she would have respected my ideas instead of exclusively wanting me to be a fanboy. Or maybe having balls would have just pushed her away faster. She would ask me for input when she really wanted praise, and she would get mad at me if I didn't praise her enough or seemed fake when praising her or offered advice she didn't like hearing. I think the reason I said "plz watch this show like what you want to make" so often was... I wanted her to expand her horizons, read more than one book, rip off different things for a change. I wanted to think about what these shows did to flesh out their characters and pit them against meaningful challenges and not just make their protag a one note girl who's only special because of external factors like superpowers and blood. There were these other ideas she had for original things, but she preferred the circlejerk of nostalgia to anything new and challenging. Felt like she saw people primarily as the service or resource they provided but she felt little urge to seek out useful people, she felt eventually she would conveniently run into a complete set of all the men who could serve her and do all the work making her shows for her, but until then she collected people and talked more with those she thought she could get more out of. Sometimes had us talk and told us to plan out the process of making her show... as if a handful of guys she strung along and me could do that alone without money. I wish I was charismatic and convincing so I could help her see the potential in her ideas that weren't shoving degeneracy into kids media for the sake of seeming mature and edgy. I had shit taste back then. Maybe if I had better taste I could have shown her better shows and they would have helped her. I haven't talked to her for a long time. I hope she is doing okay but checking her social media accounts would be cringe. I know how she was raised isn't my fault. But if I wasn't retarded I would know what to say to help her. She wanted attention but didn't respect me enough to think I was anything. Did I ever matter to her? Maybe if I was cooler she would value what I said. Maybe if I knew more about writing I could have offered better help. In videogames it's so fucking easy to fix people's mental problems. You just talk to them long enough and pick the obviously right options and they get better. I thought I was saying the right things with her but our conversations never seemed to go anywhere that resulted in a meaningful positive change for either of us. No matter how hard I tried with what she seemed to want whether it was advice put nicely or praise or a retarded speech about doing your best and never giving up it never resulted in any positive change. I wanted to be a positive influence on her. But she'd be the same whiny wreck tomorrow crying on my shoulder because she's a grownup now and so sometimes she has to clean her room and change her clothes and do coursework on time and make sure she doesn't waste all her money on shopping for plastic shit only to be left with no money for the next shopping session and sometimes mommy seems quietly disappointed in her child but she's incurably female so she is unwilling to ask what she can do to try and turn her daughters life around for the better. The other artist woman I knew at the time treated me better. She never blew up on me or ghosted me for giving writing advice she asked for. She was a good person.

I want to thank all of you.
Even the critics.
Thank you all.
Even though I'm not a nazi, we can still talk about the bad jews/blacks/etc out to enslave/replace us. It's a fact that they're out to get us.
That Ponymon game turned out pretty great, right? Even though I only added a handful of ponies before release. I should release an update that adds at least 50 more ponies to the game, though I'm not sure which to add. I wonder if someone could beat all the Gym Leaders, or even Professor Wisteria herself, using only Ponymon. Though for now I'm waiting on Pokemon Gen 9 stuff to be added into Pokemon Essentials. It will probably add a ton of unbalanced idiocy to the games I'll have to rebalance or patch out like I removed RNG-based items and abilities, RNG-based bonus effects, the Z-Moves, and more.
Pokemon's fucking obsessed with scope creep. Gotta waste cash on the new gimmick to set the game apart from the last 3DS game and create the illusion of growth. Even if that literally means making your game's gimmick the illusion of growth... Only to squander the time+money-saving potential of the Dynamax gimmick by making Gigantimax forms.
Instead of wasting cash on gimmicks to scrap a year or two later, they should focus on the fundamentals. Like appealing animation and a less fundamentally broken battle system. I'm not asking for mainline games to reinvent the wheel with an Active Time Battle system, but maybe the power creep problem needs to be solved. Fighting games have tiers to rank the relative strength of characters, but only in Pokemon is it damn near impossible to beat the average OU or Uber team with an entire team of inferior mons if your "opponents" aren't friends playing dumb and talking shit in the chat for the sake of a youtube video.
You don't need realistic graphics, just appealing ones that don't look like reused 3DS models with lazy idle poses. One Piece used to have comically shit animation full of filler and then one day, somebody in charge said "Wait a minute, we're a fucking huge media property, why are we being so cheap on the biggest thing that sells our franchise?" and suddenly the animation got good. Pokemon's the biggest media franchise on the planet and they will never have that "Aha! My thumb was covering up several zeroes on our budget the whole time! I have more money than I thought! Let's spend more money on making our products good!" moment. Why would they ever change? It's not as if customers ever demand more loudly enough, when their voices are drowned out by loyal consoomerdrones at their troughs. Can't fucking believe there are consoomers defending Sonic Farces, the seizure-inducing Colours remake, and the new soulless Frontiers. To say it looks like a fangame would be an insult to fangames. It looks worse than the Mario demo where he's running in a field with stock assets and hyper realistic deer. Guess the best and brightest of Japan still can't crack the mystical esoteric secrets of "basic fucking physics". Still have to put boost pads and springs and grind rails everywhere to create the illusion of content in this empty soulless open world.
Where can Sonic go as a franchise after this? It's already gone open world, and that tends to be what franchises do when they're desperate. They've failed to innovate on Sonic and they've failed to figure out a functional foundation for 3D Sonic, 2D Sonic, any kind of Sonic. The best Sonic game in decades was made by fans, the worst Sonic games in decades besides the linear boost2win rehashes were buggy ports of games that ran better on my PS2 and Wii respectively (Sonic Mega Collection Plus and Sonic Colours).

I need to stop caring about video games. Then again, making video games is my passion. So maybe I just need to stop caring about what the megacorps are doing. I don't care about what celebrities are doing. So I shouldn't care about what celebrity-esque franchises are doing. I didn't buy SwSh or the Sinnoh remakes. I don't think I even own a Switch. I expect Sonic Frontiers to overpromise, underdeliver, sell well due to dishonest trailers, piss people off, cause some laughs on twitter, and tank the franchise's already-abysmal reputation further. Sonic games aren't good. Sonic games aren't good, on average. In the entire franchise you'd be hard pressed to name five good games released over the franchise's 30 year lifespan, spinoffs included because Riders 1 was good. Buggy modern console ports of decade-old games replace the original in the public's consciousness. They don't remember SA1 for the Dreamcast, they remember the buggy PC port where you clip through walls during scripted sequence and jank unjustly kills you for trying to play the cutscene automation game.

I finally understand why I've never been satisfied playing bad games. I wasn't meant to rant about videogames on the internet forever.

This is real. This is me. My game... It works. It works and I can build on this. Playtesting it with my friends, one seemed genuinely shocked that I made this. "Why, because the characters actually move in this one?" I laughed. Yeah, he said. "Nobody could pay me enough to animate over 800 pokemon for free" I explained, and he said ok. The roster got some laughs at first but when they got the differences between the characters they got the point of the game. And my accessibility features work!

It always sounds weird to hear people say stuff like "I can actually play this game!" just because you execute a move with the special button or forwards-special instead of quarter circle forwards light. But then again, it's an accessibility feature. Those who don't need them don't care about Large Print versions of books, but those who do need them love them. Audiobooks are a convenience for those who like resting their eyes when reading, but they're a huge deal to blind people who want to read War and Piece in audiobook format instead of Regirock Language.

This.
I saw this post a while back but then I didn't reply. I related super hardwith this. Like exactly that.

It reminds me of shows like South Park, Rick and Morty, or like a movie like American Pie. They have these fuckhead characters that does all kinds of shit but then the show expects you to take what is happening seriously because Kyle starts to have an emotional speech (I guess I haven't seen much of SP but this is my impression of it) about how, "Maybe, maybe... We could all work together and love and tolerate." Like one moment they are above it all and sarcastic and cynical and then they change on dime to become all genuine and peace-loving.
That's why I like stories that stick to their scripts. That are self-aware enough to be consistent with this. Like mlp is a fully genuine with their message and way of portraying characters.
And Freddy got fingered (I haven't watched the whole thing but it seems that way. It's a bit visually gross at times though.) reminds me of a typical shitpost: Self-aware, self-deprecating, and irreverent. The people around him and the audience isn't supposed to care or take the mc seriously. They laugh at him. He's not a hero and the world reacts appropriately to him and when they don't, then it's played up for laugh. Compare that to Rick Sanches that is like tornado traveling across the galaxy causing mayhem but then comes back to his daughter to have serious drama. These caricatures aren't real characters, don't try to make me care for, especially as a follow up to scenes were you prove that they aren't real.

Fuck yeah! Rick and Morty loves to preach that nothing matters while making meaningless noncanon episodes about alternate universes and clones and uploaded mind copies. And then it decides it wants to be "big" and "epic" and "meaningful" so everything suddenly goes from low effort shitpost to cliche melodrama. And these moments of melodrama with cookie cutter one note cliche characters really show you how bad they are at telling meaningful stories with genuine emotional payoff. But the bug-eating dog-fucking wine aunts and 40 something manchild consoomers will clap like retarded seals anyway because Glup Shitto from his shows just showed up and did something "epic". Stories don't really need to strive for excellence. They just have to be good enough. There is nothing the normie hates more than ambitious commoners, and there is nothing the loves more than those born successful, those handed success, and documentaries celebrating the failure of ambitious people. Sensationalized documentaries thrive when they simplify the world into wise all-knowing critics who should have been obeyed- I mean listened to, and overambitious tryhard foolish egomaniac artists who respond poorly to criticism by not saying what the professional critics want said. Anything to please the wise critics who will never feel like failures because they never tried to be anything more than armchair quarterbacks, games journalists, and that one fatty who thinks he can crush Connor McGregor in a real fight because he's never been punched in the face by anyone even half as strong as Connor McGregor. Megacorp slop like marvel movies will never be criticized even half as harshly as any solo indie developer's first attempt at something great. But if something is familiar and easy, it gets celebrated for being "nostalgic". There are videos analyzing complex themes and symbolism in media for adults. And there are videos for explaining obvious things in marvel movies. You can guess which type of video gets more views. Art can't just be for a select group of people, genres can't exclude critics who loathe that genre. Everything has to be the new Horizon Zero Sales or it's evil and inaccessible and racist or whatever they called Elden Ring.

I used to think if I ever had a girlfriend I was proud of, I'd document every moment of my life with her and brag non stop about her and all the cool and good shit I do for her. Maybe if I was still a small child desperate for attention I would act that way. But instead I want to keep her safe and stay quiet about her. She's mine. Just being with her feels right, no matter what we are doing.

Fuck games journalists. They don't understand fighting games. They really think the winner is whoever uses the best special or super, so they fixate on the difficulty of performing these supers instead of remembering what half circles are instead of appreciating the ever expanding complexity of Anime Speed Chess aka good fighting games. They don't appreciate the depth before they give their opinions to anyone dumb enough to still think mainstream journalists know what they are talking about. They don't understand the depth either. So they praise the game for shit irrelevant to the game, such as the pretty pictures and colours and noises and how big the main menu looks at a glance and voiceover work and how the story mode makes them feel when they button mash through it on easiest mode and how hard they try to accomodate games journalists, even if it's with a fundamentally flawed optional control scheme with absurd downsides that would sabotage anyone seriously trying to use this as a stepping stone for learning spacing and neutral before complex controls.

"Out of your friends, which are you? Superman, Pikachu, Satan, or Garfield? Find out now by taking this wacky quiz! You see a wallet on the side of the road... What do you do?"

>A, take the money, leave the wallet, steal a car and eat six kittens while calling them niggers
>B, pick up the wallet and dedicate the rest of my life to finding its owner so I can give it back no matter what this costs me because I am just so absurdly brave and noble in my fantasies that the thought of responsibly putting my best qualities to good use never enters my mind
>C, nothing because I am lazy and I have crippling depression like so many kids these days who feel insufficiently rewarded for enduring the way the system treats people and unoptimistic about industrial society's future. Don't know why, but mom blames my PS2. Maybe it's being abused and molested at school and at home while being forced to live with parents that see me as an unjustly imposed burden on their desired boomerish eternal childhoods that makes me miserable? Maybe being forced to grow up early fucked me up and made me unable to relate to others or connect with them. Mom blames my PS2 for all my problems even though it actually provides my only escape from them. Though I never know when they will come I look forward to the days when she can't drag herself out of bed and dad isn't around or vice reversa because I get to microwave food for myself and pretend I have dead parents which means I have no chance of being abused today or ever again. Deep down I crave death's sweet release but the fear that they'd get my sister and treat her how they treat me or worse if I wasn't around keeps me around to keep an eye on her. I sure hope she won't take a fat steaming shit on the only reason I stayed by turning out worse than her parents. She's their perfect little dog, eager to please them and reject normalcy if they make her feel rewarded for it. Lazy and desperate to take the path of least resistance. In the videogame I can improve my skills and myself and be rewarded and respected for it but outside people like me just weren't meant to succeed within the system, not if we aren't given the freedom to prosper. Mum and dad wanted dogs, not people, people were complicated and had needs more complex than food and water and barked orders and rare visits outside for exercise. So many people in my life back then were just NPCs waiting for the day to end so they could go back to their soaps and update their programming. Never cared what it took to get through the day and get back to their soaps. Maybe God is bored again, and that's why he's punishing people for being what he wanted them to be deep down. God made us in his image? Yeah right. Such divine beings, these humans, with such strong connections to God. God made us this way to make himself feel better. Maybe man was meant to kill God by overcoming him and he'll keep torturing us until we overcome him, but to comfort the omniscience and distract him from his own absolute understanding of his own absolute impossibility, God intervenes every time we are close. Maybe God is Satan's pseudonym and he made this broken world as a joke with a punchline he forgot as he was telling it. Maybe there's a new punchline randomly generated every time someone tries to see meaning in all this suffering... oh wait shit I got distracted and this was supposed to be funny meme time. Uh... hahaha I am a lazy fat cat who loves lasagna. Time to kick odie off the table so he won't eat my lasagna or something.
>D, shit in traffic with a toy dog balanced on my head while singing Have You Seen My Wife except every time I say a word with a vowel in it besides nigger I replace the next word with nigger.

If you answered mostly A, B, C, or D, you fit into a category this quiz feels qualified to talk about at length or describe more vaguely than any horoscope! If you gave a mix of answers, anything that separates you from your primary category is ignored to make sorting you faster and easier on the quiz's designer! If your answers are an even mix between two or more types, an answer will be chosen at random if an uneven number of questions or points given per answer makes this impossible!

God I fucking hate personality quizzes. I want to fish again with the lads. Men were meant to fish, farm, fuck, fulfill their destinies as leaders, and fucking create amazing shit. I got distracted recalling supressed childhood trauma. My parents were pedophiles and I think that's why I'm libertarian and reluctant to trust others. Well, that, and all the times the government has fucked up and all the times trusting the wrong people has screwed me over. If I had human parents I'd still be a libertarian because the government is corrupt. Is it weakness to have a soul that feels things? So many thoughts melt away with her in my arms. I want to take her and move to a new home somewhere far away from all the madness and all the libtards. A nice farm isolated from the rest of clown world, the perfect place to prepare and grow and prosper. But money doesn't grow on trees. I wish there was a country uncorrupted by the enemy with its own water for fishing and purfying, land for farming, maybe even its own internet free from degeneracy in addition to the usual internet. Society is falling apart under the weight of the ruling class's scams. Where will people go when there is nowhere left to go?

You're no "Free Thinker" if you only think what Paid "Thinkers" tell you to.

Right wing memes: Here's a chart I made in MS Paint detailing the results of my investigation into the Mossad agents working at CAIR and BlackRock and other leftist organizations working in tandem to kill us, also I put a funny little frog guy on the voter fraud and 9/11 facts.

Left wing memes: Here's a professionally made drawing of a pyramid CNN published with the aid of think tanks and govt funded political organizations upon which I wrote the names of Hitler and Jordan Peterson and you and Pewdiepie. Because all these people are literally Hitler! CNN told me so! Every youtuber with a camera and pedophobic opinions deserves death or imprisonment for their sins against saint clinton! The right are conspirators, not us! Taxpayer money was spent on this newfangled "meemee" thing to say so! Initiate LateNightTalkShowImpression.exe!

Fuck libtardism. Libtard votes count just as much as mine, but their imported sub-90 IQs outnumber me and the children we can't afford to raise thanks to taxes and globalist policies, isn't Democracy grand? They get to force their views onto us with votes and terrorism, and force their way of life onto us with votes and terrorism, and restrict our right to fight back with terrorism and votes. It's a tyrant's slow genocide with extra steps. They're a plague. A gangrenous cunt infection. Mob rule when it's convenient, and "hurr durr we must elevate minority voices because they say so" when it's convenient. Liberalism isn't one big fundamental misunderstanding, it's pure evil weaponized and cloaked in layers of contradictory lies. It's like a balloon. Peel back the layer of plastic with a knife and it fucking pops, revealing nothing but hot air. Democracy is a gang of rapist migrants ganging up on a small child and deciding their collective wants and perceived rights outvote her needs and rights. A man's natural rights shouldn't be up for debate or negotiation. Real humans were meant to be free. Liberals will never let real humans be free. Because if real humans are free to succeed or fail based on their own merit, the smug CNN watchers and globalist conspirators of the world won't get to hold us back and pretend to be on the same level as us or above us depending on what's most convenient for them. I will never forget their atrocities against mankind. The thought that I will be needed to save lives and be a medic keeps me going as I learn first aid. I will be needed alive to save more lives. Save the lives those pedoleftists would destroy while their greatest ally, the neutrality-fetishizing centrist NPCs, watch and do nothing or distract themselves with cartoons and drugs.

Do you think the MLP fandom will be spoken of in the same way as the Sonic fandom some day?
I think the normies will hate FIM fans more. Because we're not collectively forgetting about FIM and moving on to Hasbro's latest shit in the way Marvel bots move from one movie to the next.
Normies hate fans who don't consoom mindlessly. Prefer when Sonic's arms aren't blue? That's too much of something approaching an opinion that affects your loyalty to the company and your desire to financially simp for it. Company loyalty is the lifeblood of the company shill. Atheist or not, the company loyalist desperately needed Jesus growing up and still does, because serving corporation and getting excited for next product has become more important than God for this godless heretic. No matter the company's name, it means more to the consoomer normie than God and Jesus combined. That kind of normie sees all humans as pigs in human clothing, and nothing enrages the pig like seeing anyone turn their nose up at pigslop.
It's such a small thing for the robot to get enraged about. But for him it is the most important issue he has ever thought about. I think perspective is necessary to live a healthy life. If you hate taxes and banks and the antiwhite SJW pedophiles importing isislamic pedo culture and protecting it from scrutiny via legal and illegal force, you won't get your panties in a bunch over what secondary colour Batman's wearing. You've got important shit to care about. Some people out there... their entire world is media consooming. And I pity them. Future generations will loathe them more than Boomers are hated, because the boomers and their boomer parents were raised to betray whites and hate them. The globalists had a monopoly on most information sources available to the boomer. But right now, while the facts are spread across the internet for everyone to see, the normies were too busy playing Call of Duty and watching cartoons or sitcoms to care about the past, present, or future. Everyone's livelihoods and rights depend on being free. Everyone should want to be free. But some just don't care, and that type shouldn't get a say in whether others are free or not. I don't care if his space sitcom cartoon told him world peace will be caused by universal suffrage and a one world government with sufficient authority. No government has the authority to restrict the rights of free people. Libtards love their subjective laws and red flag laws because leftists can use these like clubs to censor and imprison good people. Evil like that deserves censorship and imprisomment. We don't need to censor the enemy to win arguments, unlike the enemy, but the enemy only uses its voice to rape kids. It rapes kids with extra steps by dishonestly arguing for and maliciously voting for pedos who import more pedos and legalize pedophilia for the left. At a certain age an adult is expected to take responsibility for their actions and not use ignorance as an excuse to get away with harming others or society, and liberals are kidfucking harm to society. Drunk drivers cannot use "nobody could convince me it's wrong to drive drunk" as an excuse so why should Biden voters get away with using "Nobody could convince me he's corrupt" as an excuse? All leftists are pedophiles who will never let good people be free.

I should not feel responsible for the wellbeing of others, right? But I still feel bad about some people I couldn't help. Even if they want nothing to do with me, I still find myself hating myself for not being the master of psychology, able to talk anyone I meet out of bad choices. Maybe I'm fucking retarded for that. Maybe it's genuinely retarded for me to hate myself for skills I lack. I'm not a psychologist and I shouldn't pretend I am. I am not qualified to give professional psychological advice. I might be the least qualified man alive to give psychological advice. As a friend I can listen to people and be there for them when they need me. I can give advice as a friend. But I shouldn't beat myself up for not knowing how to help people trained professionals would not know how to help. My retarded perfectionism is a sin I must avoid and overcome. I did all I could. I did the best I could. I need to grow the fuck up and accept that not everybody wants to be helped, even if they seem like they do. Sometimes people want to make bad choices you can't talk them out of. Should I hate myself just because some GTA-obsessed dishonest manchild who wastes his benefits tugboat on plastic toys to shove up his ass did not want to grow up? I am not an inspirational success story yet. I couldn't reason with him during political discussions. I am just one man. Just one fool doing his best in a world of madness.

The fuck?

Also you can tell RAC3 is the one with the "professional" writer because of all the cliches.
This universe takes a step back from mocking celebrities and corporations by turning the washed-up "former hero" and full-time villain, because to make Qwark into the kind of pulp fiction hero he was made to mock, the universe has to become pulpy melodrama full of lolsorandum humor. It's a massive step up from what the franchise becomes, but it sows the seeds that lead to the reboot.
Suddenly there's a Galactic Ranger force, a galactic president whose daughter Ratchet wants, and the obligatory Dr Eggman-style recurring villain ends up being a robo nazi.
And yes, the silly robot doctor with a hint of a german accent is intended to be another Hollywood nazi. A caricature so divorced from reality it doesn't resemble what they're trying to mock at all, even though you can tell that's what they're going for.
He's a loud "intellectual" who's not as smart as he thinks he is (despite having the intelligence to make vast robot armies)
Evil name like Doctor Evil or Doctor Bad or something german like Doctor Badshittenstein
He was bullied in school, because hollywood thinks that's funny except when it doesn't
He can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality
He's aided by an alien race of violent screaming Minion/Rabbid-esque idiots who don't care whether their leader transforms them into something unnatural or kills them all once they have outlived their usefulness
He's not a real member of the group he idolizes or the group he uses to take power
He harbors irrational genocidal loathing towards a type of life form.
He fetishizes another type of life form, despite not being one
He makes a death star
It gets destroyed when the hero takes advantage of a design flaw
He makes another death star
And it can transform into a giant fucking robot for the final battle
That's really dumb

...okay I'm kidding giant robots are fucking cool. Maybe disney's star wanks would have been less shit if Palpatine's final death star could turn into a Sith giant robot with a red and black lightsaber able to slice planets in half. All the heroes could split up and work together to disable it in a different way, so everyone has something unimportant but cool-looking to do during cutaways from the important fight where Kylo fights Palpatine alone to avenge a permanently dead Rey. Like the Kuviratron fight in Legend Of Korra but even bigger and even stupider.

Anyway RAC3 was a huge tone shift and while the series went back to its thematic roots in Deadlocked, I wonder what the franchise would be today if Angela featured prominently in 3, there was no Dr Nefarious, Qwark was still a villain, and 3 focused on saving some new galaxy from a new threat instead of saving 1's galaxy from something that only exists to legitimize Qwark as a character.

3 and Deadlocked have these moments where a character openly states "The villain did a bad thing, it's the villain's fault and this must be set right". They refuse to blame the wrong people. Metropolis in 3 and Al getting shot in Deadlocked. I forgot whether 2 has a moment like that or not but I think they're trying to make up for how overly hostile Ratchet was towards Clank in RAC1 over the Qwark betrayal. I can repsect a buddy story where they aren't buddies the whole time, but holy shit, his attitude got old. Was still funny when he was a cunt to other characters.

Sonic is the center of Sonic's World. It used to be called Mobius but that implied he wasn't at the center of everything. Everything in Sonic land revolves around Sonic, even Eggman. It's rare for anything to ever happen in this world without a Hedgehog or a Robotnik at the center of it. At this point I'm surprised the houses aren't shaped like Sonic's head. I'm surprised Sonic doesn't have a pet hedge-dog, like how Pac-Man has that Pac-Dog, and I'm surprised Sonic doesn't have a house full of SEGA arcade cabinets. They could give Sonic a (time-travelling?) son named Sonny to make Classic Sonic a thing again while integrating him into the story as something more than a gimmick, like how Goten exists to look like Kid Goku. Vector The Crocodile sticks out like a sore thumb because in a cast full of characters designed to look like Sonic(tm) Characters, he and Big The Cat are the only characters who break the copypaste mold used for 99% of all Sonic characters. This franchise is obsessed with itself. With Sonic and Eggman. Obsessed with retreading old ground. Couldn't even give Sonic an edgy dark rival without tying it back to Eggman's family. Where are the dynamic exciting risky new ideas? Where's the ambition we saw during the Adventure days? Why does the growth of each character depend on the writer?, Everything feels too big and too small. Too restrictive and formulaic yet the only guideline for writing in this world is the formula. Eggman tries a bad thing, heroes stop it, there may or may not be something extra involved like new special stones, a new hero or new villain, a new villain turned hero, and another character for Eggman to fail to control when it matters most, typically a giant monster but it can be Sonic sized like Emerl and Knuckles and Infinite. There has to be something new to make this spin of the cycle seem new because stories can't happen unless Eggman's involved or it's a noncanon spinoff. Adding extraneous new elements won't address the core problems with the setting. Soleana and GUN have nothing to say about each other. South Island and Christmas Island and Little Planet and Neo Green Hill Zone, all of these locations are just backgrounds for the characters, not characters in their own right with stories of their own. Everyone's a role, but where do they go from here as characters? Sometimes trying to care about this nonsense world's lore and continuity feels like trying to care about the continuity and lore of coco puffs ads. Sonic means a lot to me. But there's stuff that should have been fixed by now. Like whatever problems cause every game released after S3+K besides Mania to turn out janky and borderline unfinished at the best of times. They can't even let talented people port games right. Sega has to get in there and Sega it up until it's more in line with what we have all come to expect from the Sonic franchise in its current state.

Observational comedy can be so cliche.
Ever notice how many boxes there are in videogames?
Hurr durr, it would be horrifying for the videogame heroes to kill so many villains, if the villains had blood and loved ones and didn't deserve worse.
Dorkly style humor is painfully unfunny.
And yet I saw it on TV today when trying to enjoy my girl's current favourite TV show. It's as if these clown writers really thought they were the first people alive to think "Wow it sure is fucked up for the kid hero to be a kid hero" or whatever. Jake Long American Dragon was saying that obvious shit years ago, and it wasn't the only cartoon like that, and it wasn't the only cartoon making that observation.
Television is gay. Anything that distracts me from her is gay.

That disney princess PS2 game is on the tiny TV in her room. I play the player 2 side, which I don't usually do, because player 2's magic blasts look more like fire and that's awesome. We're having a good time. I think about Touhou. I wish we were playing Ratchet And Clank 3 multiplayer but she wants to play the disney princess game while babbling about kingdom hearts stuff. She fucking loved that series. I think she still has my DS carts for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and ReCoded. If she's reading this she can keep them, and that jank as hell DS Lego Star Wars game that felt unfinished, especially during download play multiplayer mode. I think they were the last gifts I gave her, and I played them first. I wish I saved copies of her old KH fanart, it was cute as hell that a kid would make this stuff. OCs, made up babies of the couples, the works. Even this fucking weapon... she made up a word for this thing that would give Skallagrim's ulcer an aneurysm. Anyway, we're playing that Disney Princess game for PS2. It's pretty dull. We've beaten it together before. It reminds me of Over The Hedge for PS2, we played that together and liked it. She'd pick the Hamster and I used to pick the Skunk because haha funny farting cartoon character farts funny. She liked Sonic Riders and was decent at it after I helped her learn it, but she said she wanted to play this game, and she looked sad. She had a shit day at school and looked like she needed someone to talk to even though she said she wanted to play the game and forget about everything. We're playing this game. But her mind isn't on the game. She's thinking about life, and her fucked up family. She had a shit day at school today and mom and dad blamed her for not handling it better and being able to tolerate everything or whatever even though she did nothing wrong and was exclusively the target of abuse that day. My sister, she tells me she loves me. I tell her I love her. I ask if we can play a better game now. God I want to go back in time and punch myself for that. She asks me why mom and dad hate me. I don't know what to say. "Deep down, they're dumb and evil," I tell her. That's how I rationalized it back then. Good people are good no matter the pressure on them to do otherwise and evil people are just like that. Maybe that's a fucked up thing to say to a girl. She's four years younger than me. We keep playing the game. She doesn't know what to say. She cries, I pause the game and she cries on my shoulder. Quietly, so mom and dad doesn't hear. If they hear, they'll barge into her room and blame me, and my own sister will blame me because she is scared of them. One time they broke her toenail slamming the door open without wondering who is on the other side. Mom and dad blamed me even though I was already in the room with her.
Fucking retards.
She's covering her own mouth and pinching her nose to stay quiet. She doesn't want her own body ruining this hug, and she doesn't want her parents showing up and screaming, she can't take that right now. As a kid I just thought mom and dad were too stupid to remember facts correctly. Now I know they rewrite their own memories by choice to comfort themselves.
A pair of narcissists... They would be in prison if this country had laws that protected children. I tell her I wish mom and dad didn't hate us both for stupid reasons. I hate myself. I should have said something smarter back then.
Maybe if I wasn't a retarded sheltered preteen twat I would have been able to psychoanalyze everything and explain to her how her parents resent this planet and everybody on it almost as much as they resent the lives they live, and that's not our problem. My sister was passionate about nerdy shit her parents hated and she wanted to create things her parents hated like fanart for something mom and dad didn't like.
It isn't my fault or my sister's fault that our parents are like this. They both felt entitled to better and while they couldn't define better realistically and work towards it if you paid them, resentment for what they have fills them.
Even that time some adults at a youth club asked questions about kid-me's bruises and we all really thought I might be taken away this time, and even that time Dad got cancer from smoking in the house and in the car and around his wife and kids at least once a day and had to go without smokes before shifting his addiction to diet coca cola didn't give them any kind of appreciation for what they had. We had a dog, they treated her like a nuisance when she wasn't being used for attention.
Mom'd post about our dog on some stupid fucking furry site, making up retarded "and then the ehole bus clapped" stories for nerds. Paradoxically, mom and dad think the world is fair and everyone struggling could succeed if they just worked harder, and they believe everyone with less than them is pathetic, except when they think the world is unfair and everyone with more than them is evil. They don't have concrete values, they are hungry mouths wishing they ate better while feeding their kids cheap shit.
They will contrive an excuse to hate someone they just met and feel superior to them without having to earn that feeling.
In their eyes everyone is trying too hard or not trying hard enough, everyone is an enemy sent to inconvenience or exhaust or oppose them, nobody is a person with rights and agency and free will.
Everybody is a character in their painfully dull sitcom where they are the main characters who can do no wrong according to them. They are NPCs, not people, and they should not have been allowed to watch television growing up because it ruined them mentally. They beat their kids for fun. They sexually abused their kids. My parents are awful people. And that little girl, my sister, decided she liked them more than me. What the fuck? Why? What could she possibly see in sacrificing her ambitions to fund their cashwasting? If that's her idea of adulthood count me out. I'll dream for both of us.

>if you convince him you are right, because you are, even if it seems he is fine with it in the moment, he feels like he's lost the argument and resents you for hours, pouting and growling and sighing, hating you and your presence, muttering shit into the ears of people near him like "what does he want now?" and "I can't stand it when he talks back to me" and "he should pay extra for this" because he knows it slips these thoughts into the empty heads of retards and gets them thinking like him
>and his standards for what an argument is or isnt are so fucked, he'll hiss and whine at anyone who disagrees with him on something minor or subjective, and he'll sigh "Don't argue, you two" or snarl and nyaaah and waaaah at two laughing bros shit-talking each other with smiles on their faces, or two friends agreeing it's better to do x instead of y
>he simps for women on instagram and calls the several girls still willing to talk to him despite everything that makes him who he is "his girlfriends" even though many have boyfriends and some even have kids with said boyfriends and some have kids but their dad's missing
>whines about the economy if his money runs out, even though more money is only a phone call to mommy away, he's addicted to impulse buying clothes and music, he has youtube premium and purchases porn on onlyfans, and his weekly allowance for food and clothes shopping (and instagram/onlyfans) is greater than the money made by most workers we know
>sometimes he compliments or approaches women his age IRL and they laugh at him or dismiss him and this causes him to rage and pout and yell childish edgy catchphrases about violence and mass murder, only to forget it all tomorrow and go back to ranting about how much he hates "anti-feminist incels" as if anyone fucking asked
>loves taking up the house's tv for hours at a time listening to dogshit rap he could get on his phone anywhere in the house
>loves George Floyd and BLM but also loves cops, hates gun rights, and regularly enjoys Copaganda that paints cops as "righteous crusaders on the front lines of the war against dangerous criminals who could hurt innocents" and really claimed "cops are all that stand between us and certain death" today
>his idea of contributing to political discussions is blabbering about his feelings or seething silently in a corner as smarter men speak on topics he doesn't understand, waiting for an opportunity to grab the mic and get people looking at him again so he can shout platitudes or movie quotes or nihilistic demands for death to take us all, anything to derail a mature conversation into something all about him and his feelings on the matter
Wow. Didn't know I hated people like that until now, because I didn't think I'd ever meet someone this fucking pathetic, aggressive, spoiled, and embarassing. If I read about him in a book, I'd assume the writer was clumsily trying to manipulate me by making the protagonist's roommates cucks. That first part, getting pissy and emotional over someone not agreeing with you immediately... I never thought I'd meet anyone like that. Never even considered someone could get emotional over something that has no reason to have emotions involved. Some guy wanted to bring his game console down for some Mortal Kombat, I reminded him his second controller's broken, he says oh right haha, I say we could play older MK on my retropi since it has two working controllers, he says sure, and while I set up my retropi, the whiny bitch seething in the corner because it wasn't all about him for almost ten whole seconds starts whining about people arguing. That wasn't an argument! This fucking guy.

>growls and mutters, spits cliches at people rudely, and interrupts people and shouts them down, tries all he can to pick fights with people while insisting he doesn't want any drama or fights and anyone who disagrees with him on anything or ever talks back to him is "starting arguments" or "giving him anxiety
What kind of privileged life must a "man" like this live for him to end up severely uncomfortable with other men his age disagreeing with him, or "talking back to him" as the obnoxious crybully puts it?
Fuck the word anxiety. It's nothing but a newspeak word for badfeel. All he wants is goodfeels. He listens to retarded music and embarassing ASMR roleplays in public, eats shitty sugary fatty fast food, and consooms eceleb tardtuber drama when he's not consooming normie sitcoms and copaganda. Anything to dose himself up on easy sources of goodfeels and keep the badfeels at bay. Men disagree with you? Women don't swoon over you the second you talk to them? Oh no, oh no, this causes badfeels! Must scream and protect your wounded ego by pretending to be a violent dangerous man at his breaking point! Must retreat into the safety of your bedroom pillow fort using your niggerish Sail Foam to listen to dirty talk and cheap meaningless affirmation from literal prostitutes!
Shit like this is why people should not be able to vote unless they're mentally sound and they've done something good for their country for at least a few years. Don't want it to be police service or military service because you don't want your country to have a big army? Fine, make it a real job farming or building. No bullshit jobs like middle management or dievershitty hires. People too immature to handle men disagreeing with their political ideas should never get a say in how the country that supports them is governed. If they're going to give up on being adults they shouldn't be able to make bad choices for themselves or others. Otherwise you end up with clowns like him who waste government benefits on overpriced brand name clothing to try and impress and attract golddiggers so he can pretend he has girlfriends sometimes, and clowns like that other twat I knew who wastes his government gibsmedats on plastic toys to shove up his ass when not flirting with his discord moderator boyfriend and calling on him to censor disagreement in his retard discord server, and all three hate individual rights and love big government and hate those not reliant on big government. Where the hell does their hatred for the working class and their unjustifiable smugness come from? The burger flipper flips meat farmed by farmers and transported by truck drivers, all of these men do more good for the planet than these smug pseudointellectual coomer midwits with painfully dull takes on everything from fiction to reality. I wish there was some service these clowns could call upon to teach them how to get their shit together as men, help them clean their rooms, spot for them when they exercise, and so on. But when they see me exercising, they fucking smirk at me. How many levels of denial do you have to be on to end up like this?

I LOVE MY BITCH

Is it my fault that my relationship with my family is so awful? Is it my fault that I am hated? I want to be able to see myself in a mirror without seeing a hideous fatass who reminds me of my father. I've lost so much weight and gained so much muscle yet my fitter friends are so much more beautiful than I may ever be. I want to be more than my parents wanted me to be. My own family... I can't look at these people or think of them without remembering how they all knew how badly my parents treated me and yet they said and did nothing, or they went out of their way to help my parents get away with it. I like the idea of having a sister and I remember the good person she used to be. During the bad times we were both victims and our parents didnt know how to deal with her problems or advise her on anything going wrong in her life so they basically just blamed her so they could retreat to the comfortable feeling of feeling superior to somebody. During the bad times life sucked and all my sister and I had was each other. The times when we'd lean on each other and fantasize together about the ridiculously luxurious lives we'd lead when we spontaneously became rich beloved hyper successful people our parents never thought we could be. But when life was good for my sister, my parents actually wanted to know her. Or rather, the obedient version of my sister inside their heads with no interest in anything they didn't force upon her. She bottled up her feelings and kept her problems to herself and pretended to hate me so she could please her parents and be their idea of the perfect daughter. Is it my fault? Am I ugly and uncool enough to be despised for existing? Do I deserve to be loathed? Would others be happy if I hid in a cupboard over the stairs, making no noise and pretending I don't exist? Is that why my sister would rather be their pet than her own person? If I ignore all the bad days where she was the worst person in that house and focus on the rare happy moments where she came to me for companionship or advice or comfort despite how she and her parents usually treated me, these happy moments that were only happy because I was willing to overlook all the downsides to life with my parents and sister and try to help somebody who didn't deserve my help but needed it anyway... Fuck, I forgot where I was going with this. I want to forgive my sister for everything and see her again, but is my sister even still in that head of hers, or have my parents hollowed it out with their years of absolute unrestricted uninterrupted control over her? If she came to me, she wouldn't have to come crawling back apologizing for everything, she would just have to remember the truth about what went on in that house instead of indulging her mommy's revisionist history fantasies. Is it my fault that my relationships with girls fall apart? The closer I get to this new girl the more I fear finding out she tortures animals for fun like the weeb roleplayer horse girl or sees me as nothing but a plaything like the entitled artist. It doesn't feel right or natural to be happy. Not after being miserable for almost every moment I was alive. It feels like this new source of happiness might be a delicate lie that could break any day, leaving me with nothing. I would die for her. But even though she has given me no reason to suspect anything I feel unsure that anything that makes me smile can last. This fear that I might lose someone... is this is how it feels to care about someone more than yourself?

>>5813
>Do I deserve to be loathed?
No.
You deserve to be loved. Glad you have a nice gf.

This fucking roommate... Sometimes it's funny when he blurts out a random internet meme during our conversations or when I'm talking to someone else. Sometimes he's not funny but I laugh anyway because it keeps him from repeating himself until I do. But when the topic is politics there's something fucked up about the way everything has to relate to a regurgitated soundbite before he can get it. Even if it comes from a rapper or YTP. He repeats words sometimes and YTPs them but without the funny, I hope he never visits the anne frank museum at Auschwitz (Hitler should have renamed the place Auschfart so all future people would have to read about him gassing the jews at assfart) because his mind would be in YTP mode 24/7 looking for words to fuck with and repeat. Doesn't even make funny sentence mixes like making a character who says "all I care about is doing my job" say "all I care about is doodoo" or "my doodoo is all I care about". It's just "sus splalps sees freerf my mission is- my mission, the issue is- the issue" with this guy.
We watched a video on china's 300 billion fuckery, he seemed to be following along, we were talking, and then he said memes until I realized he didn't understand at all because he said the wrong meme. So I had to explain it slower afterwards, giving him time to think. To think of the topic, and think of a meme to say, only responding normally if he can't think of one. And he still has to repeat movie lines now and then. People banepost ironically but he disney-pixarposts to help understand the world, like a tvtropes user trying to understand media by making lists of all the ideas they recognize from trope pages. Where some would pull from past experiences to understand the world others pull from media.
He's only 2-3ish years younger than me. Why does it feel like the age gap is a decade? The internet can be more than a TV but for some it is just a gayer TV, and TV is already homosexual.

>>5818
Thank you for saying that. I didn't think anyone would read this. Work on the pony fanfic is still going, just slower as I work on the game.

>>5824
Hey! I congratulate you first.

Hehe, pikajew.
I bet instead of getting stronger when holding the Light Ball like a Pikachu, Pikajew would die after touching the Reich Ball.

Don't know if I ever told anyone this but when I tried playing Persona 5 and 4 on a friend's system, every time I asked myself the question "How do I make the most of my time?" it felt like "Not wasting it playing this" was whispered in my ear. The game's optimal progression path requires hours and hours of grinding and RNG based luck. God I hate luck. As a concept luck is incompatible with the notion of free will. The idea that dice rolls and our paths in life are predetermined by fickle chance and whatever nonsense ritual seems to bring more luck like wearing a lucky sock or mashing A when catching a pokemon is more offensive than the idea that we are all puppets unknowingly acting out a script written by aliens. If you gamble and believe in luck Christ doesn't love you and you don't love Christ. My childhood would have been happier if my father had died of cancer. My mother, too. Maybe even my whole family, or at least the people who knew how evil my mother and father were and did nothing or helped them get away with it. Persona 4's story of teenagers accepting themselves was fine and P3's story of confronting death by living life to the fullest was a bit pretentious but better. P5 has the style of rebellion and anarchy but no balls and no substance. Nobody asks if society should really have these all powerful government figures and mafia leaders and celebrities and bankers who can do no wrong and are seen as above the law. Nobody has the balls to say maybe we should not assume the best in celebrities and politicians. Politicians ingame speak in vague nonsense, the baddie wants to steer the ship and be in charge, and it is bad for him to steer the ship because he is a cunt who views the world as sunk and his ruise cruise as a pleasure cruise for the elites above water, and the goodie politician is a goodie because he loves the kiddies uwu. Never says anything concrete about ending cancel culture or investing in education or investing into business opportunities for young adults and for the best young adult etrepreneurs.
Saying anything concrete in this market product would harm its brand appeal. It's why Ann never gets molested. It's why the game tries to blame everything Ann and Shiho go through on miscommunications about volleyball/cheerleading/whatever and one guy's villainy, because if these characters were used to explore those who go along with the current regime and genuinely try to suck up to the elites for favors it would ruin the appeal of these characters. The heroes don't seriously analyze the ethics of using brainwashing to transform baddies and the writers did not feel like rewriting the power of the heroes to only ever rob baddies of the belief that they are allowed to do bad things. Regular additions to the party are used to create the illusion of growth and progress as the numbers go up. How many story arcs amount to filler, and what percentage of each one is filler? What if the heroes could only rob victims of the delusion that they cannot fight back and should not work together against injustice, and that was what stealing the crowns and medals and other treasures of villains truly represented: Proving their vulnerability and fallibility?
The characters cannot meaningfully grow over time because growth is restricted to optional side content where you unlock the right to see characters grow outside the canon of the game you are playing. The creators can't be assed to write and voice act an extra line here and there that replaces normal lines if your character should have grown up during optional social link cutscenes too much to say something the old version of that character would say.
The heroes talk and act too much like fame obsessed thrill seekers looking for the biggest scores with no serious debate on which villains deserve stopping and if any deserve stopping more than others. And they do that stupid fucking "We heroes lost our way" cliche that is almost as overused and tired as the "liar reveal" cliche and "second act temporary breakup" cliche Hollywood has a boner for.
Plus Futaba's OP hacker god powers break the story. She can do anything the plot requires even if it is impossible.
This story's moral messages aren't good enough, and you can tell they aren't good enough when you look at the effect this game has on the nerds who obsess over it because they never read books and never played another game better than this one just like the Harry Pottards who never read another book.
Normies who play this game don't walk away wanting to be better people. They don't walk away smarter people. They walk away wishing the Phantom Thieves were real and willing to use omnipotently magic coercive force to magic away all the world's problems for the normie, taking down all the "villains" the TV demonizes. They fall for the dichotomy of heroes and villains and background character bystanders these stories sell. Just as Sonic Forces claimed to be about the resistance only for pretty much everything to be done by Sonic and his new best bud Garfield, this type of media never actually does anything smart with the idea of large resistance movements demonized by the media and establishment. The nerds who love persona don't think critically about what the TV shows them because there was no persona game about that. Thete was no Bob Barbas boss battle where you fight a big nosed TV talking head in the Fox News dimension as he depicts you as a soy wojack or mass murdering human-slaying mindless terrorist now and then to spice up the fight.
DmC Devil May Cry featuring Don'te El Exterminatador des Demonios was more mature than this game when it comes to society.
And that game was fucking SHIT!
But not complete ass, it had some good ideas. I bet if ninja theory had more development time and their own IP without any unwanted reboot baggage it would have turned out better.
Persona is so fucking gay people are still pissed it wont let you fuck your very straight friends ingame.

What shocked me about my sister wasn't that she was eager to forget about what life was really like in that house. I could understand wanting to put it behind you and never speak of it again. But she wanted to go along with her mothers fantasies and that means blaming me for how my parents treated me before and after I was old enough to talk. I can remember moments when I distracted my enraged parents from my sister by saying retarded shit like "I like ice cream" in my retard voice to get their focus on me even if it meant them hurting me when all they were doing to my sister was shaming her and verbally abusing her and bullying her and screaming in her face. They always mistreated me worse than her. But I hated seeing her upset. Despite all those moments where she and I were two survivors without anyone besides each other, she was willing to throw all those memories into the memory hole if it meant gaining narcissistic mommys manipulative conditional approval. She wanted to believe everything in that house was fine and good except me. On a deep existential level, from one survivor to another, that is such a spit in the face. Could you imagine two torture victims abused at an orphanage living together only for one to one day pretend everything was fine but also awful and exclusively the fault of the other kid just because one survivor decided cucking out to authority was easier than escaping from it? I can understand not wanting to be reminded of bad times. But to lie to yourself and your fellow survivor about what really happened to both of you... I want to say I'm pissed off. But I just feel stunned and confused even now. Is a woman's capacity for willing self delusion truly that great? No wonder so many women are drawn to no touch knockout martial arts. My father was an abusive control freak who liked being angry. Once he forced me and my sister to try playing world of warcraft together. She and I had a good time alone together as Night Elf Druid (me) and Night Elf Hunter but dad wanted to be involved because he liked feeling in charge and wanted us used to obeying him in guild raids. That's uh... a multiplayer gamer clan thing. 5 to 40ish nerds would fight a dungeon full of enemy dragons together. I don't think the characters you gravitate towards says something about you but I find it funny that our characters reflected us. He insisted we must be humans so we were humans. She was a healer because that's the path of least resistance, it's living life on easy mode. I was the tank because I'm a survivor. I was used to getting the attention of monsters away from my sister IRL and getting them to focus on me. I chose to be a Paladin, a hero of justice who protects the weak and helpless, even though dad yelled at me for not picking Warrior because he wanted me to be a Warrior because he thinks Warrior is better even though it isnt. A paladin has more utility, he can heal and resurrect allies where a warrior just hits enemies. My sister on her own or when playing with me was a Hunter because it was fun and easy and you get a cool pet. But when dad was in control she was his. So she was a Priest because dad wanted a healbot to cast heal when necessary and wait around until heals were necessary. No hitting the enemies of course, "that wastes mana". Actually it preserves mana by GETTING THE FUCKING COMBAT OVER WITH FASTER which means I spend less time taking damage which means fewer heals are necessary and we get through quests faster so we can get this all over with. Loss mitigation, risk mitigation, speed, efficiency, fucking hell I was a nerdy kid but I had no illusions about what this "playtime" really amounted to and how much we all wanted it to end, how much we wanted our exposure to dad minimized. I was the backbone of the party and the reason it worked, my sister waited around unless helping was absolutely necessary... And dad was the DPS because he's an extraneous extra element who only knows how to hurt others. He can dish out damage but can't take it. He's a pussy and he's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is and he always relied on me to interpret Warcraft Character Build Guides and translate it into retard speak. My sister and I were a good team, I could spellcast foes dead as a druid and heal or become a bear as necessary for tanking and when shit went wrong we used Shadowmeld to turn invisible and survive the fuckup. If only night elves could be paladins and her pet could AOE heal, then our setup would be perfect. But the game doesnt need perfect setup and optimal plays because it is a grindy game for addicted gay retards who love skinner boxes.

I fucking hated when the build guides said "if you use this spell more buff this spell and if you use that spell more buff that spell". Why? Because dad hated hearing it. So I'd translate by picking a random spell to buff. The fat retarded pussy hated thinking. He wanted a world of simple instructions and at the same time he felt entitled to make up his own and if he ever got us killed or made the game unfun enough for my sister to admit she didnt want to play any more he'd blame us. Guilt trip us over warcrafts cost (and shekel shriek jewishly if I suggested a free faster private server with custom better content because his boomerish ilk only know how to colour within the lines and pay for disney).

Sometimes I feel tempted to go back and replay warcraft on a free private server with sped up rates, but... no. No point. There are no glory days in warcraft to relive. I met no valued friends to quest with. Dad insisted on micromanaging every aspect of my gameplay and social interaction when I was on that game, and he was shit at everything. My sister is dead inside thanks to my parents. Who else would I play warcraft with? Besides other games are better than warcraft. And i dont want to be a MMO addict like my bitch father.

You could try Lacrimosa of Dana (YSVIII). It's honestly one of the best gaymes I've ever played, of any genre. I had my doubts at first. Felt slow, not particularly a huge fan of nip media either. But I continued under some insistence from a fren, and Boy! It was really good. I wanted to get some gameplay from the underwater dungeons for a thread on /vx/. But my hardware sucks so much ass. Played the game on Vita.

https://fitgirl-repacks.site/ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana/

It is a reputable source that I've used extensively, but try not to make a typo when searching for that website, as there are many copycats.

Funny thing happened today.
Was watching tv with the bros when smug faggot old boomer snidely mocks our taste.
It's that faggot who thinks videogames are "shit and unrealistic because i saw one guy go into a room full of enemies with guns and nobodys bullets ricocheted off metal walls" but also believes "nunchuks are the ultimate weapon and someone who has trained with nunchuks for four years can defeat anyone and block anything even baseball bats and disarm baseball bat swingers by wrapping their nunchuk chains around the bat and pulling".
You can't whine about how the willing suspension of disbelief keeps a gun videogame playable and prevents it from turning into a comedic moment where all the baddies ricoshoot each other and die, and then weeb out over fucking nunchuks, when you're between fifty and sixty years old and the type of guy who falls asleep on the sofa when surrounded by other men talking to each other.
I try talking to him about kickstarter scams since I was talking to someone else about kickstarter and he smugly says "there is more to life than the screen". Nigger, nobody white I know looks at their phone more than you! This isn't fiction, kickstarter is something real that involves real money.
Of course, wigger friend takes boomers side just because it isnt mine. What a petty faggot. I forgot what he holds a grudge against me over. Does he even realize he acts like this? I ask because sometimes he plays nice and seems to forget the hatred he holds towards me at other times. He "found" the blender blade I lost and tells me it was in my other roommates cupboard. No answer for why he was looking in there so he probably took it and planted it but fuck it, at least I got it back. Maybe I would have found it sooner if I searched their cupboards while they weren't home but that would have been a breach of privacy and I don't like the idea of doing anything immoral.
Anyway I put on some Tom Scott real world interesting shit (did you know dievershitty fucked up an american musical road twice? The gay niggers mistranslated english into faggotese and carved grooves into the ground while fucking up the distance between each groove, fucking up the notes) and he calls Tom Scott a twat just for looking like Tom Scott. What a smug dismissive cunt. Who invited this clown? I don't care about some boomer's opinion on my career or my hobbies. I hand the remote to Wigger and ask if he's heard any good music lately, he puts on actual good metal (why does he listen to gangster trap mumble rap crap if he also likes real guitar music? Could be the aesthetics that paint being a violent failure with nothing to lose in a positive light, could be a desire to larp as someone less white and privileged and obsessed with copaganda) and we enjoy some music while the smug old boomer shits on his musical taste. Hilariously, angry guy hates it when his tastes are insulted by a smug old boomer. Hoo boy, he got pissed.
Honestly I feel bad for the old fart, who's insecure enough to front around kids? We're basically kids to him. No friends and family, no strong desire to go out and meet new people, his loneliness compelled him to insert himself into conversations with people a third of his age just so he can shit talk whatever the youth enjoys for not being Buzzfeed-tier MTV top ten Prince songs or whatever the fuck he usually watches. He's a normie. A consoomer drone normie desperate to reassure himself of his imagined superiority despite how this makes him come across to others. These days it's easy to look online and see a million smug normie morons who think affecting an authoritative tone and smirking down on others makes them seem more intelligent. He's a normie with nothing interesting to say and none of the deep insight he thinks he has. Maybe if I was ten years younger I'd tell you I hate the guy. Instead I exercised thinking "I'm glad I'm not elderly".

Goddamn, my old pony fanfic writing was embarassing. How did I ever produce this crap? Silver Star Apple is such an unpleasant person to be around, just like all the smug cunts real and fictional who inspired his "before" characterization. After character growth, his characterization would be inspired by real cool characters. It's retarded for Silver to put on a Canterlot accent and persona to fit in with snooty rich retards when he was raised by farmers and made his fortune making his own deals and his own products. Why would someone like this feel any urge to fit in? He should be speaking in western LOUDER when around snooty canterlot types just to rub it in their faces that the hard working cowboy is also smarter and richer than them. That would have suited his old personality better, where the twat sees everything as a competition due to his own insecurities. I should not have allowed obnoxious trends and what the fandom's tastes at the time seemed to trend towards and my own complete lack of writing experience to ruin this character. Silver's an obnoxious retard with a stick up his ass lodged in there so deep it would make gay buttsex impossible. Not that he would ever engage in sex because even gays probably hate this guy. Probably. I mean gays are still people they just crave cock and people are varied if they aren't normies. If I was homosexual but I didn't fit into the mold of what homosexual culture wants homosexuals to be I'd stay far away from gay culture. Like a guy who uses weed recreationally staying away from those who make it their lifestyle, aesthetic, and personality replacement. I'm glad my new Silver isn't gay. He even has a cooler name. Sunrise Stardust. Silver Star Apple worked as a pun name. Born Star Apple, he calls himself "Silver Star" in Canterlot to fit in while quietly rubbing the obvious in their faces. He thinks the Silver Stars of Sherrifs, they think of the night sky and precious metals. It was a good pun. But Sunny's name is better. Cooler. More unique, too. There are a million Silvers. But only one Sunrise Stardust.

>It's great that DMC is reaching a wider audience
I've kinda learned to get worried whenever that happens to a franchise I enjoy. The staff no longer has to satisfy their niche audience; which often times means that the product will devolve into something vastly different, at the very least.

>but isn't this repeat of the "rickroll" meme just an excuse to show someone much of or even most of a porn animation before the cutaway?
I can see the author being secretly a hentai fag. Then again, it's a bit subjective to say it's "most" of the animation.
>Doesn't seem like much of a bait and switch if the bait is something pornographic that would be hard if not impossible to put on youtube.
I actually got it from yt, but I agree it may not last that long.

That said, am sure you are aware this is mostly done by, or for the appeal of a demographic that absolutely despises hanime.

I really don't think it's worse than western media when it comes to its degeneracy. The fact that even the WEF tried to encroach on it, is relevant to this. Which is further proof that going mainstream didn't help either.

I do love nip animation/drawing-styles when it comes to aesthetics. But I don't really consoom much of it.

Okay, I've spoken too soon, holy shit. So, it's rather, that anime has become so mainstream, that by talking about porn, you are defaulting to hentai. Which obviously also applies to anti-porn.

Which is to say, you may be right, OP.

I've considered making a writing thread specifically about the writing project I've been working on. But I wouldn't want it cluttered up with "You're that british guy! Shut the fuck up!".

Even if aliens and mermaids are real, libtards are raping children now, so conspiracy theorists need to shut the fuck up about aliens and magic and focus on the important facts instead of speculating on what the kidfuckers "might" be hiding from us. We know enough about what they are hiding from us already to know that the leftist pedos deserve worse than anything they have ever done to innocent people. If a good man takes over to kill communism and end globalism he can declassify literally all shit ever. He can open Area 51 up to the public. He can let people know who killed JFK. And he can save kids, which is more important than any drunk with sleep paralysis demons who got roofied and buttraped at las vegas and woodstock and roswell only to stumble away thinking aliens did it. Flat earth is a gay marxist psyop that exists to make places where flat earther talk is permitted look distasteful. Same with aquatic ape theory. The government might be raping aliens in area 51. Or it might be epstein island 2. Nobody will know until the world's problems are fixed.

I used to think if I ever got a girlfriend I'd constantly tell the internet how grateful I am and what we did today. Obviously I'm grateful but I don't want to tell strangers how often we've fucked or how we fuck. That feels wrong. That's private. I even feel reluctant to tell people about our dates. This is my love. And hers. I'm not the kind of person who will liveblog a relationship. I don't want to be that kind of person. I'm not a popstar. I'm not Taylor Swift. She isn't Taylor Swift. She's not content. She's a person. She makes me want to write about amazing women who are almost as amazing as her. I finally found it. I finally found her. Best girl.

I remember asking "red-pill philosophy" once.
<why should I care whether the earth is round or flat?
The general reception was kinda hilarious; as he sort of admitted that he never asked himself that question before.
>>5885
I am interested, but I share the same concern.
>>5891
And you doing the right thing fella. Glad you made it.

I used to fucking despise The Legend Of Spyro.
Why buy the Spyro franchise and spend all that money on expensive voice actors like ELIJAH FUCKING WOOD if you're going to half-ass it?
That's what I used to think.
But now... I think they didn't half ass it. I think this really is exactly what they wanted to make. Sure, it feels paint by numbers, assembled on a tight deadline out of ideas that were already done to death years ago. Sure, games released after, near, and before its release blow it out of the water. But I think there's a level of passion here I can respect, even though all I ever see when I look at this is the missed potential.
Crash Bandicoot started life as a platformer with simple 1-hit-kill combat. Then there were PS2 games with combat. You've got basic attacks and heavy attacks for breaking enemy blocks.
TLOS 1 and 2 have inferior combat because there is less complexity. Maybe I'm playing wrong but it seems the only block breakers are the elemental breaths that trivialize combat until the green meter runs out. Imagine if changing your equipped elemental breath also change what your attack buttons do in a way that matters. Basic attacks on Fire, slow strong attacks on Earth, swift weak attacks on Lightning mainly used for stunning foes, and for Ice, AOE and multi-hitting committal attacks. Could also change that elemental explosion button (why spend a whole button on such a simple thing?) so Earth gives you armour that makes you invulnerable and makes your attacks unblockable until the meter runs out, Lightning makes you faster and stronger and unblockable until the meter runs out, and Ice conjures ice swords or swirling storms around you until the meter runs out. Devil Trigger, big explosion, Summoned Swords, and invincibility mode. Better yet, let players hold the DT button to access new moves in their arsenal, or doubletap/doubletap and hold the second time to decide how much of that Super Meter they want to spend, and on what. DMC3 Dante's explosion is cool because you can build it up while attacking, TLOS Spyro's fire explosion is lame because you float up in slow motion to do it. Just slapping slow motion onto your game won't make it cool. What was the point of adding a bullet time button to a game that makes no effort to give Spyro any guns or anything sufficiently gun-like?

Fire Emblem's design restricts the gameplay identity of its characters. Characters can only be "Glass cannon, good enough meat shield, overpowered guy who can do both offense and defense, healer, your one dancer, barely passable filler, or worthless benchwarming filler trash."
No wonder Wargroove mixed so much of Advance Wars's DNA into their game. Tactical decisions made with funds and disposable units and military objectives are more tactical than "me send big smasher god waifu in to fuck everyone up and if she dies I reset".
But something makes the Dancers and Healers special in Fire Emblem. They can succeed without needing great damage or great defense. They have a use outside of combat in a game hyperfocused on combat. The series needs more classes who have gameplay utility outside of direct combat, like a Necromancer who creates disposable units who cannot gain EXP(forcing the player to choose between using disposable units who don't grow and your characters who can grow and have names and faces), and an Earth Mage who creates breakable barriers to protect your units/trap enemy units and isolate them from their friends/etc.

Got bored and felt like fixing these stupid whiny narcissistic mom comics and then got bored so that's all I'm doing
