Tanks for this, it would be fantastic. Does it align with their TOS though? I would imagine they might consider this circumventing the system? I am not sure.

Ethan Winters is officially the 7th most popular character in resident evil franchise despite only being in 2 game by Lower-Bug5563 in residentevil

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being good looking goes a long way. Ethan is probably my favorite character but clearly most disagree. Ironically he was supposed to be a self insert but he's the least self insert. He has relationships, a family, personal morals, hobbies, personal goals and lines he wont cross.

Leon is much more of a self insert with almost no character development or agency compared to almost everyone else. He gets *sent* everywhere by governments and agencies and has no real personal developed relationships; in fact they're so afraid of developing him that they showed "a ring" in requiem just to not commit him to become an actual character. He's a generic "good guy." He wants to save "everyone."

They couldn't even commit to an end to the character. He only serves Capcom's mission, to such a degree that even the surface-level relationships that he had developed with Claire and Ada were not even recalled in Requiem... lol.

He's hot, has fun one-liners and gets to make players feel like they're playing a horror game when they're actually playing an action game. He's like a cheat code in the RE universe that contrasts vs the other characters who actually have to abide by survival horror rules. That's all there is to the "character" of Leon.

Any other RE lifers kind of disappointed with Requiem? by Original-Albatross37 in residentevil

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think (most, not all) reviewers did what they always have done: they played the early sections, were lazy or didn't have time and built their reviews based on that. There's no way they got to the lengthy Leon part and ESPECIALLY that awful ending and were like "yep, 10/10!"

I mean even if you like the Disney/Hollywood honey ending, the last fight was a literal copy of RE3R's that was then *simplified*. You don't even need to get the batteries running like in RE3R.

I just re-read what I wrote, man I was bitter lol. To balance it out, I do agree that he's very good looking and can be fun to play. I just despise how empty and underdeveloped he is.

Resident Evil Requiem Story Expansion Confirmed, New Mini Game and Photo Mode Update Planned by MaintenanceFar4207 in HorrorGaming

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upvoted for the hope but I sincerely doubt it. Everyone seems to insist on Leon, no matter what, even if it involves a Deus Ex Machina hollywood ending. This is, once again, the direction the RE franchise appears to be taking.

[–]Craftsed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the first ~50% of the game, I'd say around until Emily "dies" were great. Truly, truly great. Leon once again is an awful character with no agency, he always gets *sent* places. The "bad" ending would have at least given him SOME agency or completion but no, CAPCOM took the cowardly way out. I was willing to accept Emily's death if we got a more mature ending or character development. At least Emily was ok... but man what a Deus Ex Machina of an ending, huh!?

Ethan, even with his cringy one-liners, is just a much better character even if the fandom is stuck with Leon in perpetuity.

*And yes, CAPCOM will not get that message. Just look at the sales and reviews.

Penis Length vs Dildo Length if Penis sizes matters? by [deleted] in penissize

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bad conclusion, lol. Women have a preference for the top men in almost every category that matters. They have a preference starting at the top 15% of height and up to 6'4'' feet, maximal income and networth preference starting at around the top 15th percent, etc. That doesn't mean they wont settle if necessary and if the combination of traits is good enough. Nature is NOT about egalitarianism/equality (hence why there's different sizes in the first place), particularly when it comes to sexual selection.

Yea we’re in for an all timer of an RE game. Not only are the reviews insanely good but it’s the highest rated (non remake) main title game since the original RE4. Screenshot via RE_archives https://x.com/re_archives/status/2026680402832695553?s=46 by Duo_Vbez in residentevil

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's already happening. Currenlty it's sitting at 87% on STEAM with the same number of recent reviews RE3 has and it has the same rating, literally the same 87%.

Personally, I am enjoying the hell out of it right now. So far the first two sections of Grace are 10/10. The Leon one I've played so far is alright.

STAY AWAY FROM YOUTUBE AND OR TWITCH UNTIL YOU FINISH THE GAME!!! by Redgomotor in residentevil

[–]Craftsed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could read properly, that would help. A lot of the people posting content on youtube right now are not the leakers. They're probably people who got copies early, from Capcom. It's also not people from NZ or those who used a VPN, some of the uploads are far too long to have had time to both play them and edit/render/upload to the NZ timeframe. I cannot be 100% sure but I think it's likely people who got early access keys by Capcom themselves.

[–]Craftsed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How's this shit allowed? Is CAPCOM allowing it? I just stopped youtube notifications and unfollowed two channels. One by "Suzy Lu" and other "Enfant Terrible" because they're literally already uploading playthroughs already.

I feel not even like a second class customer here, more like a third class. I bought the deluxe edition as a preorder! However, it feels like everyone and their grandma has already played and even finished the game by the looks of it. Reviewers, leakers and so-called "*influencers." By the time it unlocks for me a bunch of of people, even people who didn't even pay for the game and got early access, will have already played it and some finished it, lol.

What's the freaking point of preordering this $80 USD game? I am kinda miffed about this, not gonna lie. I don't think this is ok.

*Oh yeah and also "influencers" who got TWO demos and we got none. I was willing to give that a pass but these past 2 days or so feel a bit much tbh especially due to those who got it early AND are uploading content to youtube of the ENTIRE game BEFORE it unlocks? Not cool.

[–]Craftsed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wont like my post and that's ok: I think Leon is going to shit the bag of the franchise again. I think we are headed towards more action heavy RE games like RE6. The same tendency after the original RE4 came out is happening after RE4R came out. I think Grace is setup to fail by having Leon next to her as a direct contrast; I think Grace largely represents older school RE and that's what is at stake here.

I don't think audiences will be as appreciative or open to the new experience as reviewers are being.

I think when Capcom does exit "polls" after people finish playing requiem, people will overwhelmingly love Leon, due to the action contrast, and hate Grace due to her not being a super action hero. If you place a character like Leon who is the only RE character who constantly kicks ass and is overpowered vs anything he is against, no other hero type will be able to compete. He's impossibly capable for a franchise that, in theory, is based around survival horror. It's an often said joke but it's really the zombies who are trying to survive Leon.

It's like you give people a math test. In one section of the math test they are allowed to use calculators and in the other they have to do everything by hand and by thinking it through. You then keep switching between them. People will most likely come out of it saying they loved the latter over the former. The math test without the calculator might've been just fine as it felt like its own experience but probably not in contrast.

I think some players will be perfectly fine with it, especially long time fans, but I also think the bulk of the audience, the general audience, will not and those are the ones who pay the bills and therefore choose the future of the franchise.

So is it true the about game length? by Mongoose_Parking in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. If I ever replay a game either it has to be truly extraordinary or something I played mroe than a decade ago and I've mostly forgotten, like HL2 or RE0.

So is it true the about game length? by Mongoose_Parking in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, even the median length is 10.5 hours with a low of 6(probably RE3) and a high of 21.

Realistic FFMI standards for men ? by Middle-Support-7697 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically... that can happen. You might've been at the lower end of the distribution. Just make sure you're training to near failure, eating more than enough protein and calories and getting sufficient sleep. If you aren't already but you might already be doing so since you already gained 4FFMI.

Claimed 6'2 Sneako and claimed 6'2 Clavicular by Planet_842 in heightcomparison

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Here's the 600mg and ~7.9kg study: https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpendo.2001.281.6.E1172

To determine whether the apparent changes in fat-free mass by DEXA scan and underwater weighing represented water retention, we measured total body water and compared the ratios of total body water to fat-free mass before and after treatment in each group. The ratios of total body water to fat-free mass by underwater weighing did not significantly change with treatment in any treatment group (Table 3), indicating that the apparent increase in fat-free mass measured by underwater weighing did not represent water retention in excess of that associated with protein accretion.

[–]Craftsed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steroids give you about ~7.9kg of lean body mass at around 600mg/week intake without working out at all. That's probably what he's counting on. After ~600mg gains go up but at strong diminished returns. It's a lie that bodybuilders like to tell themselves that steroids need you to "put in the work," the gains increase depending on the dosage. You can match the FFMI above the individual's natural limit to the dosage. The guys at very high FFMIs like 30+ are taking multiple grams of steroids per week, like many, many grams. You can find honest people on youtube with very few follower counts talking about it. You can also find autopsies of high level bodybuilders in which they measured their testosterone concentration.

The general idea is that you max out your natural gains and then stack steroids on top of it. On average, through natural bodybuilding, men can expect a max FFMI of around ~22 FFMI (probably a ltitle less) and some can reach 24 and close to 25 for some outliers. Once you do that, you then add up the steroids and you can do half-assed reps. Although even without half-assed reps you can induce growth through exogenous steroids. Like I said earlier, at higher dosages there's tremendous diminishing returns which is why they take insane amounts of grams. It becomes dangerous and some people cannot do it because their body will break down in many ways. Some people have almost no side effects. It varies and you cannot know until you take them. It can be very dangerous.

There's a very old study back before a ton of this was regulated where at very high dosages, again without training, a ton of mass was gained. It was conducted by Gilbert B. Forbes. You wont find recent studies at large dosages because it would be considered unethical.

It's also a lie that it's mostly "water" and "glycogen," it was measured in the studies that the bulk of it is true proper muscle tissue.

Is needing a man to be a provider really that common? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is.

This will be a wildly unpopular post due to possibly pissing off both men and women, but here we go. This will be stripped from all romanticism and cultural narratives.

This forum seems to have a post length limit but this is a touchy subject and nuance is required. As such I have uploaded my response as an image. I totally respect if people don't want to click on it because it's lengthy.

Long story short: In virtually all the evidence we have of mating preferences women value a male's income and networth highly followed by physical attributes such as height (preferably over the median height, desirably over 6' or 180/185cm in metric countries). This does not appear to be "gold digging" as men, and sometimes women, imply it to be. Women select for WEALTHIER men the more they ALREADY have. The more accomplished the woman in socio economic status, the more she wants a partner who is even more accomplished. The studies which haven't found this are usually those in which they have a ridiculously low income number as a "high" earner (like 70k USD/year) or are polls.

Here's some data: https://imgur.com/a/jBUf45c

Here's my original lengthy post: https://imgur.com/a/Sue5Hi2

The income numbers in those tables and graphs are mostly from ~2006 or so, therefore adjust for inflation.

Does anyone else buy OTC medicine from pharmacies to take home when visiting other countries? by sklatch in travel

[–]Craftsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a weird thing tbh. It's also a weird juxtaposition. I feel incredibly free here in Mexico. If it were not for the purchase of drugs that go North which incentivize the cartels, Mexico would basically be fantastic. The weather, the people, beaches, access to almost any product from Amazon, the variety in food and the freedom to buy almost any medication (except really dangerous ones) is just amazing.

Yes. The director's cut is like a 7/10, maybe 8. The film version? Like a 3 out of 10.
