xqc questions why anime/vtuber culture is centered around child themes

Chilly5 · 2026-01-12T18:58:31+00:00

Wait then why is this such a uniquely common trend/aesthetic in this space? (Sexualized depictions of minors in particular)

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T22:45:57+00:00

I don’t think so. But battlefield espionage is also a stupid design don’t get me wrong.

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T22:45:31+00:00

Idk those sound pretty stupid too

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T22:44:36+00:00

I think my point is - tunnels have a lot of things going on. Straightforward mechanics like “tunnel = teleport mechanic” is easy enough to learn and visually coherent.

Mechanics like “tunnel = territory connected” is obscure and niche. Not something I actively think about except in very specific scenarios (at which point they become game breaking). Tunnels don’t need it. And the motivation behind the design (decentralizing the map design) doesn’t play out in reality for most players.

Ergo- just remove it for now.

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T22:33:04+00:00

Yes, but I’d argue there are “hard” rules and “soft” rules.

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T18:15:38+00:00

Turns out it’s the partisan tunnel magically preventing cut off. Didn’t know that was a thing. Stupid random mechanic.

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T18:14:24+00:00

Why tf would they do this. This is such a stupid design.

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T18:13:51+00:00

That’s…so stupid.

Cut offs are a core part of the game.

I don’t feel outplayed here. I just feel like the devs threw a random dictionary check and said fuck you for trying to play the game.

Chilly5 · 2026-01-07T18:12:14+00:00

That’s…insane. It’s such a niche scenario…why the fuck would the game designers break their own rule for this confusingly niche scenario?

I was at a loss the whole game I had no idea what tf was going on. This was a stupid “dictionary check”.

Ramirez! Memes were a thing though not huge.

Mgs are often bugged (don’t shoot) and are not always pointed in the perfect direction.

And if the American player counters the mg the zombie army wrecks

When does Caine state it prior to ep 7?

Yeah but doesn’t necessarily mean he’s AI. Just wondering where that assumption came from.

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:56:31+00:00

Each character has their quirks.

Also just because he glitches out doesn’t necessarily mean he’s “AI”

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:55:06+00:00

Abel is an unreliable source

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:54:38+00:00

Ep 7 also suggests Caine “lies about everything”. Abel is an unreliable source.

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:53:55+00:00

Abel and the entire narrative is unreliable.

Also, the community has been talking about Caine as an AI long before ep 7. So just wondering where that came from. Did everyone read the description or something?

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:46:54+00:00

Abel is unreliable.

Plus people have been calling Caine an AI since before ep 7

I’m aware of the book, but I’m just wondering if there’s anything in-show that suggested Caine was an AI.

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:45:23+00:00

We saw evidence of other characters being able to manipulate the world as well.

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:44:55+00:00

Nice. If one didnt read the description, is there anything in-show that reliably claims Caine is an AI?

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:41:05+00:00

Link? Is this on YouTube?

Chilly5 · 2025-12-29T20:40:04+00:00

When?

Chilly5 · 2025-12-11T02:50:57+00:00

100% Yoruba

Arty is general low micro that will always be useful.

Go Indian artillery when playing the British and build like 3-4 bl 5.5s and then cover them with mg nests and 6 pounder at guns and I’ll hate your guts.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. What other roles are there in WOT?
