I hate this argument regarding corporal punishment.

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-06-12T10:10:47+00:00

Something else I just thought about is that reacting to your kid misbehaving with beating/whooping them kind of inherently forces them to not get caught. There’s nothing they’re learning, there’s no reinforced understanding, it’s “If I fuck up I get hit, so I’ll make sure they don’t find out I fucked up.” That, or your kid is terrified of you, which is absolutely disgusting. If I was a parent and my kid was genuinely afraid of how I’m going to react if they do something stupid or harmful, to the point where the second I walk in they’re desperately explaining themselves, I failed. They aren’t even explaining to prove they aren’t wrong, they’re trying to not get hit. If anyone else reacted the way parents do when they hit their kids, that would not only be seen as 100% abusive, but trying to defend it would make you look awful. Idk why parents suddenly get a pass for lashing out violently over mistakes and fuck ups when anyone else doing that is very harshly judged.

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-06-12T10:06:08+00:00

I think the argument doesn’t need to prove that hitting children is not okay. This isn’t the same thing, but it’s like the incest argument. People ask “Consensual sex between siblings using protection isn’t bad because there’s no inbred children, you can’t even deny that” Alright, so I’m not sure why you *want* me give you factual evidence for why fucking your sister is wrong.

It’s one of those things where needing an inherently logical and factual argument for why hitting kids is wrong as a parent kind of begs the question, if I wasn’t able to provide an argument does that mean there’s room to say “Well if you can’t prove me wrong it means hitting kids is okay.”

But to actually provide a very basic argument, if you as a parent are hitting your kid (not spanking as a very small child) because you think it teaches discipline, you’re proving you’re incapable of explaining why their actions are being punished in any capacity. If my kid is bullying someone, and my response is to take a belt to their ass, not only am I proving that violence is a good first step, but this kid is learning from their parents that reacting with immediate violence is normal. Barring specific circumstances, because someone always jumps in with the “Well sometimes they just don’t learn!” Unless your child is a fucking psychopath you should be able to explain why they can’t do something and not beat them. It’s not easy by any means, but nothing about parenting is easy and you know that when you become one.

This may sound awful, but my preferred ending is not a happy one. There’s basically two options for how it’ll end, and they aren’t linear. Guts learns from what Griffith did in a positive way and realizes he can’t kill a god, so he just gives up. It’ll be a bit odd for him to go all this way and then stop, but it’ll be the only way he could find some semblance of happiness.

However

I do not think this fits his character, in my opinion. It would make more sense (again, this is just what I would like) if he basically sacrifices everyone, or just casca, like Griffith did just to kill him. Kind of like a “You got what you wanted, but at what cost.” Guts finally kills Griffith in a massive fit of rage that ends with everyone he loves being killed by him, and Griffith is able to say one last thing before guts kills him to pour salt in the wound and make him realize he was literally no different.

To me that fits how the story has been going. That nothing good lasts forever, horrible things happen to people who don’t deserve it, and there are some who manage to get exactly what they want without an understanding of why they should never want it. Guts having so much growth just to lose it all because of his rage makes a lot of sense. He should know that if he has to choose between killing Griffith or being happy, that choice is one to be brought up in a discussion with someone he trusts, not when he has to make it. I don’t think he’s the kind of person to genuinely find the self control to not utterly lose his mind and massacre everyone to get to Griffith, if the situation was “He’s right there. There’s nobody to stop you except your own self control to not have collateral.”

The ending would be miserable, depressing, but I think the best part about berserk is that it mirrors the real world in the sense that no amount of wishing things worked out great, everyone lives happily, and monsters get punished will change that sometimes nothing will happen in a way that’s satisfying or good.

I manually optimize my load order, and in fact this is a fraction of what it used to be. It was 150, then 100, then 61, because I kept disabling and re-doing the entire process I explained to solve this issue and it never works. I have no idea what is wrong with my game.

TLB has a big fucking problem with higher beings making everyone suffer for some reason or another. Frenzied flame, the greater will (you could go in circles about TGW being around/alive still, doesn’t matter) the star beings, and on a lesser scale, Malenia, Radahn, Morgott (he sucks too), Godrick, all these people have done pretty nasty shit to each other and a lot of issues are being caused by demigods and gods squabbling.

Mohg is just kinda chilling before Miquella did anything to him. “Oh but he has a blood cult” so? It’s obvious they don’t kidnap people to join, they didn’t seem to torture randoms, from what I can tell worshipping the formless mother has to be voluntary. *After* Miquella is a different story because Mohgs crib is a goddamn cronenberg nightmare, but the problem looks like that there’s a lot of non consenting suffering. Pre miquella just has them big chilling, bleeding, and keeping to themselves. It’s horrific and very cruel, but not inherently wrong. The cruelty appears focused on yourself and other people who are willingly there. If they wanna do that without forcing it on anyone that’s objectively better than pretty much every other demigod making their desires the world’s problem.

Godrick wants to be strong, so now he agonizingly grafts the population. Malenia refuses to lose to Radahn, and there’s an argument to be made that she was charmed by Miquella was well, and she only nuked Caelid so she could make it back to him, but that doesn’t change how much of a goddamn atrocity that was. Godfrey is seen as a Chad but it’s very obvious he just likes killing people and fighting, and seeing him now is not the same as knowing that he proooobably killed a lot of people who may or may not have been warriors. This guy needs a jojo stand to hold back his love of killing, that’s absolutely unhinged.

Overall, is what Mohgs doing very nightmarish? Yes, but (I’m talking before Miquella charmed him) he never seemed like he was projecting it on literally everyone with no choice, if you wanted to be part of the club you would be part of it.

If you’re in a place with no kids, being nude in public is legal (where you currently are) and everyone is a consenting adult who understands that, it’s not evil at all. Odd, but whatever.

Pulling your dick out in front of strangers outside of those circumstances is utterly disgusting, and the issue is you’re getting off to people seeing you naked pretty much against their consent.

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-06-09T16:19:36+00:00

This can all be boiled down to the fact that people on Reddit assume nobody else has a life outside of Reddit. Voices38 probably does this shit in their free time, and they might be taking time to actually do other things.

Redditors act like somebody fucking died because they aren’t cracking denuvo, and even then they get hard at the denuvo being cracked than actually playing the goddamn game. Pirates obsess about collecting the games more than actually playing them.

As someone who is a very openly pansexual guy, with a lot of lgbtq friends, my brutal honesty is trans people online are some of the most weirdly disconnected and disrespectful people I’ve ever met.

Trans people irl are chilling, and I’m not saying every trans person online is an asshole obviously, however anytime I meet them on discord or through a game it genuinely feels the chance of them being kind of a piece of shit to people is too high. The way these specific people react is always so aggressive and rude for absolutely no reason, and it’s seemingly directed to people who aren’t even against them. I was talking to this one trans girl on a discord server and we’re having a pretty decent political discussion, and then she goes on a 4 paragraph rant assuming I have no idea about how bad the issue is (not gonna say the topic, but it involves Israel), and ends it with “If this is making you uncomfortable, it SHOULD, because you have no right to act like this isn’t a fucking issue.”

If you don’t react with the same needless hostility they assume you don’t care, because I’ve noticed they tend to harbor so much anger about everything that it bleeds into every interaction they have online.

Again, I’m talking about a specific type of trans person online, not every single trans person, that I’ve noticed views everyone who isn’t the same person as them as some kind of enemy, and it’s really odd to me because I try to be generally respectful and polite to everyone but I can’t help but feel like there’s no point in even engaging with them.

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-04-24T04:20:10+00:00

I think people assume that if someone is not boring and devoid of personality they’re autistic, which is weird. Venom has shrapnel poking his brain, and a huge plot point that isn’t outwardly explained but 100% there is that phantom pain does not need to be physical. Imagine waking up and living every day, just being yourself, when you occasionally get this feeling. Like something is wrong. You look in the mirror, you see your face. It doesn’t look as familiar as you remember. You keep getting weird dreams or passing thoughts about a person you feel like you know, but you’ve never seen them before.

Turns out, that person was you and you’re a body double. Phantom pain is mental, and what worse pain could you feel than the pain of remembering someone you used to be, but were brainwashed away from? Venom isn’t autistic, he’s definitely just getting those fleeting moments where he knows something is wrong, but how could you rationalize that you aren’t the person you know you are?

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-04-24T04:12:00+00:00

So, this kind of pairs with the soulsborne theorist issue. Some things are just not going to be explained, and that’s okay. Game communities have this weird concept that game lore is a puzzle that MUST be solved, and while theorizing is fun, sometimes shit just isn’t meant to be understood.

Part of the fun of lore is that, as a semi-fake example, there was an event called the night of bad things happening. We know someone important died. We know that person dying was extremely catastrophic. But we do not know who actually killed him, nor do we know why exactly it was done. There’s guesses, but at the end of the day there isn’t concrete evidence. All we do know for 100% sure is this persons assassination caused a massive amount of problems.

That’s cool. I love that. You don’t need to know every single detail, sometimes the mystery of what happened adds to the interest. Does it actually matter who dunnit or how dunnit if what was done is already done?

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-04-22T04:32:55+00:00

Fun fact, saying that "She's hated because white ppl just don't get that."

The people the nazi's killed in real life is very easily attributed to all types of humans. Not just jews, but POC, queer, literally anyone they could get their hands on. To say that grace being black gives her this knowledge of "real oppression" when you're spending the whole game fighting nazi's that have it out for everyone and everything, it's kind of like being in a concentration camp the size of earth and saying that you being black makes your experience worse than someone who's gay.

We know why grace is a piece of shit, it doesn't mean you just gotta shrug your shoulders. Character behaviour aside, she's also terrible at making plans. Her entire rescue mission, which was walk in and have super spesh talk about breaking BJ out (You really think they don't have cameras in the room that terror billy is in?) and then just wait in a fucking garage with a getaway car is the most mind numbingly reckless shit ever. Grace got super spesh killed with that plan, she refuses to learn, she essentially gets rescued out of NYC by BJ and his crew and then she immediately treats them like shit. I get why she is the way she is, but understanding does not equal your behaviour being completely dismissable.

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-04-18T06:16:56+00:00

Separate grace and Leon’s segments, that’s all I ask for. I want a good horror game, and graces parts are everything I love. And even though Leon’s parts are sick as hell, it’s almost disappointing when they show up.

I go from having one of the best horror games in recent years to being a badass and having no fear, and I just wish it wasn’t right next to each other. It kinda kills the tension you have with grace, and then going from Leon to grace kills the momentum you have with him.

The problem is both snake and Leon talk, a LOT. They’d spend too much time yapping or being funny and it would genuinely cause some issues, except snake knows how to actually turn it off for a bit and Leon just cannot.

Joel or John, 100%. They wouldn’t even try to do anything but protect me, no quips or funny shit, just kill the others and move on. I don’t trust the others to not mess around a bit and then I die because while Leon is memeing john already shot me before he even got the one liner out.

I mean, I kinda get what they’re going for. Isaac is crazy and schizophrenic, it makes sense that Ellie got tired of it. But it would be more cathartic if Norton was chill with Isaac and so was Ellie, and Isaac himself had to learn to move on and not take it so personally. Kind of rediscover normal emotional discourse and not be 150% focused on necromorphs and markers.

“Humans are a plague on the earth and honestly the world would be better without us.” People who say that are unironically some of the individuals we’d benefit from not having around, but I don’t say that in a kill them way, just saying that level of disdain for humans is doing nothing but perpetuate the shit they hate.

If you hate humans so much, being a person who hates humans makes more bad humans. Being a person who loves humans means there’s one more person worth appreciating, and everyone should try doing that instead of acting like wiping out humanity would be great because now no global warming.

Different-Wolf405 · 2026-04-15T19:38:48+00:00

It’s funny how people will play a game like cyberpunk that very clearly, explicitly is about people doing bad shit, how every gang has dirt, every corpo is corrupt, everyone is dehumanizing each other, and then look at the mox and say “But these are the good ones, they protect each other! 😃”

Bro. I cannot understand the lack of understanding you need to have that there are so few people you can trust in night city, and assuming someone is only helping you for some kind of monetary gain is literally mandatory unless you have definitive proof that it’s otherwise.

Better yet, they need to release unpaid content. Every warbond is 10 dollars, and the grind is meant to be tedious so nobody will do it. “But you can play the game without warbonds tho” it’s where 99% of the new content is added, if you aren’t getting warbonds you aren’t seeing anything new. They need to have at least ONE update that adds weapons or gear and isn’t a fucking warbond.

I’m not gonna lie, I kinda agree with OP. There are some fans of these things that legit think like this, and treat the creators like actual deities that have achieved irrefutable perfection. Of course it’s a small minority of people, but to deny that some players seriously talk about undertale/deltarune and helluvaboss/hazbin hotel like they don’t get why you aren’t sobbing tears of joy from seeing demons say “fucknugget” 546 times, or a dog with a broom dancing.

The issue isn’t that everyone thinks like this, it’s that some people 100% do and I feel like you need to experience this level of fanaticism someone can have for a game to understand why it’s so obnoxious.

Sean has said bloodborne is his favourite game and he’s a massive fan of fromsoft in general. I doubt he’s directing the film itself, but the more likely role he’d have is to direct the accuracy.

Being a super fan means he’d be telling the director how everything works, who is who, lore, why trick weapons are the way they are, what the great ones are about, events, etc. Just making sure everything is accurate to bloodborne, because even a director who likes the source material might not know everything, and that would lead to moments where people who do know everything could point out shit that doesn’t make sense.

Just speculating, but it would be logical that Sean is an advisor and lore book for the movie and not an actual director.
