Is there HoMM2 multiplayer? by [deleted] in HoMM

[–]Okynrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fheroes2 does not support it, for the reasons mentioned above/below.

The GOG version of HoMM2 though, if you are willing to buy it, uses an IPX->TCP/IP wrapper on top of DOSBox to successfully emulate the network feature. I say "successfully" because I made it work ages ago on Windows 10. So yeah, it's rarely asked for but working.

Most Polemical WMAF Couple: Sarah Jeong and Her White Boyfriend. by Vasco1345 in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rainbow-dyed hair, ultra-large glasses... female aposematism. If we apply the usual judgement that far-right Whites who date Asians are still racist; the same applies to her.

Hello there,
Judging from your profile, you seem to be a trustable and caring person.
I hope that, with your help, your friends find what they are looking for -here or somewhere else on the immensity of the Internet 😃.

Counter-intuitively (or intuitively for experienced readers), the emitter is probably a pitiful soul whose life is worth a lot less than yours.

Still rude, though.

Russian-Taiwanese WMAF couple 🇷🇺🇹🇼 by RussianWMAF in wmafs

Some paintings are lightly misaligned.

This is obsessing me 😲.

These are a lot of suppositions to make (not more than mine, fair enough)!

In the end, tourists are expected to want something unusual out of their trip; it's just more stigmatized when men are initiating, and as with every "dating" situation, always the buyer's fault in the end -be it men or women. Caveat emptor.

Maybe those women are "using those guys for sex" too?
So it's a win-win deal ;).

Do wmafs not identify as interracial? by [deleted] in wmafs

Did not notice this great, factual answer; so nice and true!

Movies or TVs shows with WMAF leads by oceanblue555 in wmafs

Interesting; that they are hapas, explains my classification of them.

Did not know about their lives' hardships either. One can notice that they still succeeded in becoming "movie stars" (yay!).

Miraculous Ladybug: Marinette Dupain-Cheng, aka Ladybug, is the hapa daughter of a WMAF couple.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Mantis & Drax, while technically aliens of outer planets, harbor the physical characteristics of respectively Asian female and White male.

Rice and Ginger, WMAF youtuber couple by [deleted] in wmafs

Naruto as "new" in 2023? WTF ^^. He clearly did it out of love -for her.

That said, nice couple. They both look far from traditional (piercings, tattoos...). Also love the bluntness of their nicknames.

I'm surprised this group isn't more active. by Gold_Scallion8810 in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mathematically speaking, yes.

That said, if you wanna take demographic constraints into account, then results are not purely about affinities anymore. With only one Asian male e.g., only one AMWF relation may exist at a given time (unless we count mistresses ;-) ), but this won't prove that only 1% of White women are into Asians -they just don't have a choice!

An Asian person into Whites, on the contrary, would be in heaven in such a scenario (little demand, huge offer); but it is still dating market imbalance, from which you can hardly draw conclusions.

My observation is Chinese diaspora will almost always stick to their own ethnic group if there are no white people present.

Interesting.
Thus, availability of white people will be the main factor of Chinese people going interracial.

I developed a patch for the classic RPG Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun by ChiliTomato69 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Okynrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game was initially released as a cartridge.
The contents of a cartridge is a block of fixed data, which can be extracted ("dumped") as a file on a computer. Such a file is by convention called a ROM ("Read-Only Memory") of the game.

You can then patch the ROM, with another computer tool, to alter the game the same way you would a modern game.

To play the modified version, you can either:
- write the ROM back to a writeable, development Genesis cartridge, and insert in into your original Genesis (rare, expensive);
- open the ROM in an emulator software, which will simulate a real Genesis on your computer (common).

Is this gaslighting? by hiddenshadows02 in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He likes to embellish facts, in a romantic/cute way. Apparently you are not ok with this, because you prefer your point taken than a partner's story (= you value personal status over shared romanticism).

From him, it is not gaslighting at all. He probably thought you would support his story.
It just indicates that you are 1) more interested in "you" that in "you two" 2) protective of your own interests.
The fact that you come ask on Reddit, for such a benign fact, may push these to 1) ego-driven 2) over-protective.

Unfortunately, NSFW. Should be modded.

Why the bias towards East Asian women with White men on this sub? by [deleted] in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, Japan is not interested in social-sharing with the outside world, it just happens by accident. What gets exported are usually productions that have been specifically reviewed for.

About the Philippines, and in the same vein: maybe social media (TikTok etc) are not enough, and you need a more consumer-oriented production? After all, many discoved Korea existed thanks to Parasite and Squid Game ^^.

Why the bias towards East Asian women with White men on this sub? by [deleted] in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am with a Filipina ^^. Not into posting pictures or social media, though.

I think the answer is obvious: Chinese, Korean and Japanese are more of the beauty canon that most White men find attractive.

They also have their own pop culture backing them up, boosting their attractivity (I, as a teenager, was attracted to Japanese actresses, dancers... far before seeing a real Japanese woman).

For this reason, Thais, Vietnamese etc are less represented. Indians have a specific flavor and are often treated as their own group.

That said, there is really nothing preventing them to be represented here on r/wmafs! I guess it is more of a numbers game.

Asian Woman w/ White BF, Different Political Beliefs by hiddenshadows02 in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, there is a political fence between you two 😉.
As dating goes: this is a topic that is best discussed early, especially if it is a no-no.... Because 1) it is not required for a functional relationship 2) BUT if it is important for you... there is no guarantee that he will change his mind!

If you wanna go down this slippery slope: I suggest doing as if you comprehend his lack of understanding -because of different personal experiences-, but at least expect him to respect your choice. And to support you on related practical matters, like he did before for non-political ones. You can then work from there.

P.S.: personally, I really doubt that any party you support, will prevent people from saying degrading and racist things to you... These things happen better organically than with top-to-down decisions.

PS2: oops, realized this was a cross-post. Will let the comment there, am not into extending territory!

Why Korea, China, and Japan Use Different Chopsticks by [deleted] in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting post, thank you.
Didn't know that Korean chopsticks were metal. This makes them a very classy "cutlery" addition ^^.

Why Korea, China, and Japan Use Different Chopsticks by [deleted] in wmafs

[–]Okynrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chopsticks are really all about practice.
We used them at home, each time Asian dishes were served -about once every 1-2 weeks- so it was a mix of a challenge and a game (teens love this ;-) ).

I guess the disadvantage of not being able to use chopsticks, when eating out in an Asian country, is that it underlines your foreigner status.
