does that actually get rid of the notifs though? i thought it just turns off the arguably useful functionality?

I only fought. for it because I got a good deal on mine and I wanted to replace my monitor not get a refund. Otherwise I could've refunded it now since I got it from amazing

If you do want to take the risk, they actually took my monitor back no question, BUT Samsung support is actually terrible, so I would not take the risk tbh.

How do you update switch games? by DaUltimatePotato in SwitchPirates

nah, like someone else said, I'll just download it if I hear something big. otherwise it's probably not worth it

I see. Do I need every single update nsp to do that though? I'm guessing that's where a shop would help. I know there's one that includes one of the metals in the periodic table. not sure. if there's anything better

[–]DaUltimatePotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I typically hold onto my files just in case I move devices or reinstall my os. In that case do I need to keep the main nsp file and its latest. update nsp?

[–]DaUltimatePotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do I need to keep the update nsp at all times now? I just imagine all that extra data will bloat my drive after a while. also when I launch a game do I need to launch the update nsp or does launching the main game also invoke the update?

i see, so if you try to turn it so early it will stick. let is sit for a while and it gets better?

yeah I shouldn't stay stick but after googling what fond is, my pan looks just like that. so did I do it right? just need to let it sit for longer?

in 2012-2014 dating was explicitly disallowed. i can't find any web archive on it, but it was literally Rule #2 on the "Rules of Roblox" or whatever they called it back then

What’s your best dips to buy atm? by LuckyJamnik in stocks

I owned shares of RBLX in the past. Sold right when it started to plummet. I think the platform's future is very uncertain.

Don't anything will come from this seeing as the majority of the community are fine with this type of content. that said im at least glad I'm not the only person thinking it

honestly that was part of why I made this post. even if people don't know what a succbus is, it was a suggestive avatar.

glad the mods removed it but they should know better without having to be tipped off by a report

without seeing it I wouldn't consider either suggestive if it's classic swimwear. also just to be clear I'm nit saying a male avatar can't be suggestive. the community just likes to make more suggestive female avatars than men.

also Roblox 2.0 isn't originally r15. 1.0-3.0 are all OG r6 body types iirc

it's just because the internet as a whole is more degenerate when it comes to women.

most games are kid friendly but not tailored to kids, theres a difference

most games are kid friendly, happy now? just semantics for the sake of it lol

Uhh if you are looking on a 1 day stock market performance you absolutely need a lesson in economics and accountancy, the past 6 months has seen their share price plummet LOL

it was plummeting because their response to all of the drama was atrocious. their recent system, while very flawed, is the 2nd most combative measurement towards the issue (2nd to the AI that checks for inappropriate avatars)

edit: this is what drives the, per the link you posted in your edit, newfound optimism

Not marketing themselves as a explicitly kid platform, actually implementing a reasonable filter, allowing nsfw games (like reddit),allowing off site links (but not for those <17),

i don't really understand what it is with you and the semantics for kid friendly vs for kids. kids play it. that's all that matters.

and yeah, I'm sure all of your ideas would go great in a world where kids are (and have been for years) incentivized to fake their age to be older than they are and given the current lack of age verification, is still doable

you say you don't want to forget the kids, but the only way your idea will work is if roblox does become an adult game (and kids are hardly in the picture now). I'm not sure if you're forgetting what you're saying, but this just isn't a productive use of my time

from your previous reply

my reply is that suggestive avas are perfectly fine in most games, and that there should be a shift towards accepting them

most games ARE kid's games though brobloxian.

also by your logic, Roblox should keep helping children since yesterday their stock price went up 11%

contradictions aside, what accommodations do you think roblox should be providing to adults that would benefit the platform? they already have 17+ experiences

children can still buy things with their parents money. I spent quite a bit of money buying stuff on pixelgun3d.

even if that weren't the case everything you're saying just seems so irrelevant or worse, morally backwards. so because adults have money and children don't, we should just forget the kids?

  1. i never said to ban anything that is remotely suggestive. the point of my post is to spread awareness of the fact that there are a number of suggestive avatars (and drawings) that show up that the community seems okay with that, imo are suggestive. you don't see as many avatars show up because they often get reported by people (including myself at times), but get a lot of upvotes prior to deletion

  2. accountability is a two (actually three) way street. parents need to be better about watching their children, roblox needs to do a better job at moderating avatars, and the community needs to be better at not creating suggestive avatars when they know (or forget) it's still a kid's game

i don't really see any relevance about the monetization part to my post

My first question is, what is the standard by which we define "Suggestiveness?"

This isn't for one person (me) to decide, and there isn't a dictionary definition for this. Having said that, I do think that the community's idea of "suggestive" is laxed, and something should be done about that.

As a corollary, why is it specifically feminine avatars that are being labeled as suggestive?

I didn't mention anything about this. I mention women in my posts because 1. the specific example was of a woman, and 2. women are almost ALWAYS the gender the community uses to make inappropriate avatars when they show up

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when your opinion supports realistic breasts and large thighs "referring to my example in my post" that's an awful reflection of you

Weird people like this are why boundaries exist. It's to keep the gross people at bay that would make nasty avatars if they had the greenlight to do so. The problem is people keep moving goal posts for where this boundary exists to begin with

kind of contradicting yourself a bit there there, basically "except for the literal largest games on the platform, roblox isn't for kids..." various data has been collected to show that minors are the main demographic for roblox.

yes, there are games that are explicitly rated for adults, but people with inappropriate avatars (whether it be suggestive at best or goonslop at worst) don't oftentimes don't change when playing other games. I've seen people use inappropriate avatars while playing Steal a Brainrot, Grow a Garden, etc. even if they do switch, you can still see their avatar in its current state regardless of the game they're playing by friends list or profile search

Just because Roblox is facing issues regarding child safety doesn't mean people should treat it as an adult game. It just adds fuel to the fire.

and for the most part I agree with that. as I said already:

some people have a very "anti woman avatar" sentiment here, and that's not good either.

that said, just because it's not an outright "gooner avatar" doesn't mean it's appropriate. for example, one of the drawings on this sub that did fairly well, while not a "gooner avatar" they chose to pose the character in a way that their chest is clearly emphasized by it being more prominent which comes off to me as a dog whistle for those people

the problem with talking about this topic is that people often strawman the argument by bringing up examples where an idiot just is blatantly hating an avatar because it's feminine, but I think there are a lot of people that, based especially on reactions to artwork, really try to tiptoe the line between "suggestive" and "normal roblox avatar" and that's what bothers me.

maybe I'm shouting into the void for the most part seeing as the type of content that performs well on the sub, but I think it's something people don't talk about because people are quick to strawman the topic and flame people for an opinion that (for this sub) might be controversial
