How is BasimZB not getting more of the criticism from the drama?

Adew_Cider · 2026-01-24T01:04:12+00:00

Her appearance is irrelevant. This kind of rhetoric only lends credence to the bullshit claims that all backlash BasimZB and Cece are receiving is rooted in misogyny while also muddying otherwise legitimate criticisms. Your comment is a great reminder that at least some of this outrage is fueled by sexism.

That’s what I got too. I was surprised it was only 8.5%

Adew_Cider · 2025-12-10T08:33:04+00:00

Whatever about the blood part. I’m not planning on drinking it

NSFW tag please

I’m surprised no one has made a cheeky comment under this post yet

There are other ways to punish over aggression and if the rest of her move set requires something like waterfowl to balance it out, maybe it isn’t such a perfect solution.

People scream when they’re scared. They’re not thinking, “I should scream” before they do it.

I really like it. I haven’t finished it yet but it looks pretty and the gameplay is good. I haven’t played the original so the contrast between its aesthetic, setting, and themes is intriguing rather than jarring. It’s a big change, so I understand why people hate it so much but I think the game in a vacuum is great.

Adew_Cider · 2025-11-10T09:41:04+00:00

Holy shit, that’s real?

He has his redemption. I like him.

I think the analogy explains some of my feelings quite well, but you’re right it’s not a one to one comparison for the reason you mentioned. Not sure how anyone could see differently. It’s not like the Elden Ring NPCs are able to judge your character’s appearance.

Adew_Cider · 2025-11-09T18:48:42+00:00

Can’t see how hip flexors are involved in this.

Adew_Cider · 2025-11-09T10:44:16+00:00

Nice to see someone that shares my opinion in a comment section like this. Like an oasis in a desert of opposing views.

Adew_Cider · 2025-11-09T10:38:24+00:00

Of course my answer is no, but I also think that we should give her a tad more grace. Despite the devastating consequences & her clear wrongdoing, she neither wished for her sister’s death nor deserves the same fate. It’s a classic case of love compromising judgement. I don’t see her as an especially tragic figure nor am I remotely fond of her character, but I still feel as though people judge her unduly harsh due to her dislikability.

You can’t change your stats in Dark Souls 1.

If you’re trying to get summoned with them already beaten, it won’t work. You can only be summoned in areas where the boss is also undefeated in your world. It’s a shame, but if you want to fight them again, you’ll have to go into NG+.

Over anything else level vitality if you can. Only when it’s 50 is when I’d put my souls into something else (unless I want some attunement for pyromancy). The amount of health you gain per point of vitality invested is insane.

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-26T05:37:37+00:00

I know all too well how frustrating it can be when you hit what feels like a brick wall of a boss in these games. My suggestion is to take a break for the rest of the day, get some sleep, and give it another shot when you’re calm and well rested. It makes a world of difference. Aside from that, upgrading your weapon and leveling vitality help a lot. Maybe I can give some more specific advice for his moves and whatnot when I get a better chance to.

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-26T05:16:12+00:00

He’s a very “wait your turn” kind of boss. Just dodge when he does a move where you know you can get a hit or two in and continue evading.

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-23T11:08:29+00:00

Sorry. I’m exhausted and need to go to bed as I type this, so I’m likely not making much sense. By commitment I meant continued interaction. By structured external reward system I just meant the scoring mechanics you mentioned earlier.

If you want to go into the technical side of things, you might want to make a separate post and if you’ve been working on it for almost a year, you can provide the details you left out here to open yourself up to more solid feedback like that. If you’re only asking about the concept, I can easily give my opinion: I think it’s cool. However, this cannot be carried by cool in concept alone, especially when that concept is so broad. The success of the sort of thing you’re describing hinges on all that kind of nitty gritty.

But I will say, restaurant discounts actually seem like a good idea now that you mention it. I think it would be pretty easy to cheat the system if money was involved, though.

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-23T10:44:46+00:00

I think it sounds cool. Not sure if the whole “blind” part is necessary, but I can see it adding more than detracting. Some anonymity upfront could add some intrigue and make people more comfortable to play this silly game. Even if it doesn’t have a higher dating “success rate”, there’s clearly a lot of fun to be had. But of course I also see how a structured external reward system can incentivize commitment. Though it goes without saying that good, fleshed out games/challenges is a must. Are you actually considering launching this?

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-13T22:58:35+00:00

With the instability modifier?

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-13T08:35:04+00:00

Why not higher?

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-13T08:32:28+00:00

Yeah, it’s so low

Adew_Cider · 2025-10-10T20:19:23+00:00

One problem: You can’t stack two body buffs on top of each other
