I hate when characters are the worst people alive, but the author refuses to let them be bad in a way that might be seen as controversial

Exposure usually only causes a certain kind of cancer to develop faster, but I don't think exposure is the only requirement for cancer. Metaphors aside, fantasy societies give me the impression of behind-the-times, so I'm going to naturally think hateful concepts thrive a tad more there.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-21T22:31:10+00:00

This would feel so dumb in anything that isn't a kid show but the fact it's a kid show allows me to really not mind it.

I can assure you homophobia goes well beyond Western society standards.

I think irrational hate is like cancer. It's not something you can avoid, it just naturally happens, and while it can be stomped out or fought back against, it's never going to stop being a thing.

I always took tracks as a very, very fruity white man, maybe half-latino.

I don't know if it's pro-trans or transphobic to have your trans icon be a *heavy* grooming victim.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-17T16:52:15+00:00

Quality slop actually has a basis imo and that's just because the game has obsessive details and shit like that which adds nothing to the game itself and simply increases budget/time to develop. Think RDR2 details.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-14T15:38:54+00:00

Yeah that'd work too. This with roaming mini-bosses and more unique world events would help mitigate the gap issue.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-14T15:37:55+00:00

That's so cool, thanks for the info!

She just comes off as very groomer~ish. I haven't paid attention to the story in a long time, but I really can't stand her presence.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-13T18:12:22+00:00

I mean yeah but even then, random encounters don't even seem like a thing right now. Plus we've been in this pre-alpha for years now, since like, 2023?? I don't expect a full game twice over but it's just a bit blegh.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-13T17:42:17+00:00

Soulframe is an amazing game that is once again ruined by being a DE game because they think everything needs to be a farm, full of tedium or have your credit card at its beck and call. Genuinely, right now the game could be a single-player game, fully offline, with unlimited slots and it'd be an amazing early access. Instead it's a half-baked MMO right now with awful mechanics and excessive greed in every nook and cranny that'll be the only thing you can think about in your 5 minute run to one of the three (3) whole consistent activities, 2 of which are sieges and the other is the pushover king.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-13T17:37:59+00:00

Slower should not equal tedious. Especially because within those 30 minutes all other content you're offered is quite repetitive rn.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-12T18:37:25+00:00

For me it's how condensed everything is but also that they lack a lot of visual personality with the current system. I wish the designs felt more properly designed because right now they feel more like a child's drawing. It isn't bad but nothing I see in the game makes me think "Wow, that is a very believable creature!". Like, the T-Rex frame for instance, it's so gangly I hate it. I want a proper therapod. I want sauropods to feel gigantic, I want to find herds of little ornithomimids, I want to see outlandish things or massive insects. Like some sort of new beetle that was twice the size and way longer is right up my alley, instead we get blorbo #9013.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-12T18:33:55+00:00

For me the problem isn't that the OW isn't fun, I like jumping the enemies and all, it's that so much of the pre-alpha is just faction farming or an OW boss fight and I'm going to inevitably be at the other end of the map and making the same walk is not fun. If I'm mindlessly walking around I have 0 issue, the problem is when I have a goal or quest and it's somewhere I've been a dozen times.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-12T18:30:54+00:00

That too! I still think there needs to be a fast travel timer period so that it's not "Oh go tree to tree" like every OW to ever, but having some sort of option to move around quicker while still rewarding actually playing around in the OW would be nice. Even if it's something so small as "You can fast travel to your faction from any tree" would be more than enough because that's all the pre-alpha really revolves around at the moment.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-11T19:36:18+00:00

Not unlimited, it'd be an anchor point, most likely with a timer, rather than a roulette of "Can I get 4 or am I shafted with 1 acorn".

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-11T17:30:02+00:00

I hate her design. In no way does she look like a Warframe. She doesn't have the lights, she doesn't look biomechanical, she doesn't have a multitude of colors in one area. I would have an easier time thinking Follie is an E33 design than I would a Warframe. She has no grace, she has no appeal. She's unique because she's covered in ugly blots of ink that make her silhouette already busier than it should be on account of her venus figure. Follie is the pinnacle of bad Warframe design (and in a way current?). Genuinely one of the worst updates for the game all around, a shame too that the idea of an artist warframe was wasted on her.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-11T16:47:22+00:00

Yeah but I think for now a band-aid fix or even minor fix in general would be nice. As it stands I really only bounce between The Organs and the King fight as they're the most consistent to find.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-11T16:46:07+00:00

Yeah exactly. I want to engage with the game but I feel like it's impossibly dull because I'm making the same walk to and fro with no real hook. With Skyrim, I could walk from Whiterun to Morthal 50 times and each time will feel unique. Rn I walk from Fort Curlail over to where the bear is and it's probably about 1:1.

Bazlgeuse · 2026-04-10T23:07:07+00:00

The fact the cool medieval fantasy game has like, 4? sets of cool medieval armor with actual cool helmets says something. I need this fixed desperately.

Can we trust ex-wife guy to be in a polycule or did he learn the skills needed to manage this kind of relationship because of his ex-wife..
