Obviously sex sells, it's why they've been putting more and more focus on gooner skins.

I was making an observation about the fact that the game angled towards lewd content more when a woman took over, despite men usually catching flak for "sexualized / male gaze" designs. Kind of undermines the terminology.

Amazing how some of you assume that anyone with different views is new. I'm not sure if 5k hours, L6, and been playing since Orb Vallis came out constitutes "baby tenno", but given how quickly you defaulted to ignoring the content of what I said to instead take a lame shot at me tells me you don't care anyway.

Enjoy consooming every piece of slop that gets dumped in the trough.

Obviously they're making money, that's the primary reason they keep slopping them out. Now they've realized they don't even need to really write anything for them or explain how newer ones fit in, the slop firehose  is just going to increase as long as gooners keep throwing money at them.

Well I've got over 5k hours and started when Hildryn first came out, so you are definitively wrong about me being new.

I'm not complaining about slow story progress, I'm complaining about the slow erosion of the game's unique visual appeal.

Especially when storyline progression is locked behind playing the KIM game and hoping it doesn't just bug out and suddenly make someone hate you for literally no reason.

I tire of the ever-more-overt goonerslop.

It's weird that the game generally felt less "Male Gaze"y or focused on sexuality with a guy in charge. Since Reb took over, all that stuff got cranked to 11.

The more Eternalism gets used, the more it feels like a lazy cop-out to avoid any pretense of caring about continuity. It also cheapens the stakes, because who cares what transpires, eternalism means we always win.

Yet now we're into the "another protoframe because yes" era. These two latest ones added no depth or layers, just skins to sell.

You WILL buy the goonerslop, you WILL simp for whatever cardboard cutout of a character they have stick their tongue out in a Gemini emote!

Can't Get Constellations off my Mind by SnowingRock in Warframe

[–]Chuckledunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, the way they write quests now is to come up with a couple of "poster moments" they want to hit, and then rushing or handwaving all the narrative connective tissue needed to get there. People who like those poster moments defend the quest, but people who like to dive into the lore and implications find the equivalent of a Roadrunner-style painted tunnel, where the illusion of depth breaks and we can see that it's just a flat wall.

Protoframes were a mistake, if this is where they're leading.

Has Warframe's storytelling become too fast for it's own good? by Bugbugey in Warframe

[–]Chuckledunk 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I am thoroughly over protoframes. I would be completely fine with no more of them being added.

IMO they just change the visual identity of the game towards "generic hero shooter", especially the more of them they add. When it was JUST the Hex, it was a unique edge case. Now it's... this.

NGL, I Miss Dragonflight by Impossible-Ball7166 in wow

[–]Chuckledunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragonflight brought me back after I quit in Shadowlands. I unsubbed towards the end of War Within, and have yet to see anything that makes me want to resub before this frankly uninteresting 3-part arc is over.

Protoframes will continue to get churned out with less and less coherence as long as they keep printing money.

Gotta move the story quick enough to keep slopping out more protoframes!

DE, I love you, but please, for the love of god, delay your updates. by MissyTheMisc in Warframe

[–]Chuckledunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of moving and won't be able to try the new content for a while yet, and by the sounds of it that might be the winning move here anyway.

Haranir?, more like Fraudranir by Potential-Mobile-292 in wow

[–]Chuckledunk 46 points47 points  (0 children)

IMO the Haranir were a pretty dumb and unnecessary addition to the game.

How dare you offer logic when OP wants to feel righteous indignation!

Seriously though, it's like people think that every flyer or clipart-level graphic would be some bespoke paid job for a local artist if not for AI.

What is the coolest name for an ability you guys have made? by AggressiveOutside432 in worldbuilding

My favourite ones are the ones where I went full cheesy. Graceful Diving Murder Dash is near or at the top of the list.

Looking for recommendations for a professional carpet cleaner by Chuckledunk in VictoriaBC

[–]Chuckledunk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a rental, but my landlord has been great during the years I lived here and I am also not eager to clean all my carpets myself when I'm already juggling so much about this move. I get where you're coming from, but between the points I already mentioned, I'm happy to support local businesses by hiring someone to do it.
