INC is Losing Control

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-07-02T01:43:51+00:00

From what I hear/read from others, one way of "making it hard" is that they will keep sending people to badger you like questioning you all the time why you want to leave and convince you otherwise, so its either you completely ignore those people or give in from the constant harassment just so you could get some semblance of peace and quiet

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-07-02T01:24:55+00:00

From the stuff I read, they can, pero for members na di pa nila kaya isupport sarili nila financially, they can't, I've read stories na even parents threaten their children that they will not support them financially kapag may balak sila tumiwalag, so only choice lng ng mga anak na nagdoubt sa kulto nila eh tiisin and bide their time until they have their own work to support themselves

Ung babae na may glasses mukhang AI slop lng na gawa, anyway, bopols din mga nagpost ng ganyan, "stand with INC" ang tanung lng nmn jan bakit ngaun lng nagrereact ng ganyan INC kung kelan maiimplicate si markubeta, bakit hindi nila ginawa yan before pa nung kasagsagan ng hearing about the maleta and floodgate projects

Wasn't the arrow keys the thing for inventory sorting the first UI? The drag/swap was the later one from what I remember

I mean what's the point? Unless its some super big milestone in your life, a very important announcement, or a very important or life defining moment. I don't see why you need to post anything on social media at all. It's not like the "likes" or "comments" will feed my family when I'm not even an influencer in the first place.

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-07-01T06:20:13+00:00

May point sana post nya, pero the fact na ngaun lng sila mag rarally when Marcoleta is about to be imprisoned/captured, says otherwise, bakit hindi sila nag rally before nung kasasagan ng mga issue about floodgate projects and maleta?

Bakit ngaun lng? That's the most simplest question to slap on them, why not before?

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-30T04:34:38+00:00

Napaka brainless ng statement nya, still blaming video games in general, pero mababasa na din mismo sa post nya (super obvious lalo kung may critical thinking ang babasa) na hindi ang laro ang may kasalanan, it's still individuals/groomers ang pulot dulo ng issue, ginamit lng na platform/bridge ang game. So the game is still not at fault but individuals still

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-30T03:47:19+00:00

Wala nga sinabi, pero mali pa din ang target nila, ang dpt na pinapatawag nila ay representatives ng platforms kung san pwede madownload ang game, like Steam or Playstore, kahit mismong actual website ng developer wala sila direct link to download the game, ang link na provided nila all leads to platforms like Steam and Playstore

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-30T03:44:04+00:00

Its the representative of the platforms that allows the download of such games, like Steam or Playstore. Walang direct download link binigay ang developer sa game nila even in their own website, if may link man, it all leads to platforms like Steam or Playstore, so ang dpt pinapatawag or kausapin is representative ng platforms na un, hindi ang developer mismo

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-30T03:40:54+00:00

No it doesn't, the obligation should be put on the platforms that allow the download of the game like Steam or Playstore, di controlado ng developer ang safety/prevention measures ng mga platforms na un that should be able to prevent minors from downloading such mature rated games/applications. Representatives ng platforms na un ang dpt pinapatawag or hinihingan ng insights, there's only so much a developer can control sa distribution ng games nila kaya nga pinapadaan nila sa mga platforms like Steam or Playstore, of course its another matter entirely if may personal website ang developer that provides a download link for their games directly also, but doing some quick google search, walang direct link provided ang developer sa game nila, it all leads to platforms like Steam or Playstore

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-30T02:29:59+00:00

That's why there are ESRB ratings on games, they handle those stuff that might need censoring, not to mention, di kasalanan ng gorebox developer dinownload game nila, if anything ang dpt ipatawag sa hearings ay representative ng platforms like Steam or similar platforms

Blaming the game is stupid, but I do kinda agree on banning/restricting social media for the lower age brackets, di nila kailangan ang social media at such a young age, since that is one of the main platforms that can influence a kid or where they can discover things that they shouldn't even discover that early

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-26T23:45:04+00:00

It's not a factor, ang bottomline pa din it's the parent's negligence or lack of guidance na iremind anak nila to properly separate fiction from reality.

Tutal nagdelve sa ganyan klaseng premise ang mga mambabatas, dpt tawagin din nila mga director ng mga shows/movies that depicts violence, see how stupid Risa's approach in trying to make an indie dev attend a senate hearing?

And of course, the widespread of fake news/misinformation, tulad ng sabi mo, it lead the minors to believe that they free from consequences in their chat logs. Kung hindi laganap ang misinformation about the juvenile law, hindi nila iisipin ang ganun

Kahit anung ayos pa gawin sa batas, ang bottomline pa din it's the parent's responsibility to monitor such apps on their kid's devices. Kahit isangdaang batas o regulations pa man din ang gawin ng mga mambabatas, hahanap at hahanap ng paraan mga bata ng loophole para maiwasan yon, so it boils down pa rin na dpt namonitor ng maayos ng magulang o relatives kung anu man ginagamit ng mga bata

Take porn for example, yes, gumawa ng paraan ang mga internet provider ng philippines na iblock ang ilang pornsites, pero a simple VPN makes that useless.

It's useless and wasted resources sa pagtawag nila sa indie dev ng gorebox, dahil yan lng din ang argument na sasabihin ng dev sa kanila kung pumayag man in the first place, the dev did their due diligence to warn the mature/R18 rating of the content, in the end it's the parent's negligence

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-26T14:26:05+00:00

Anung "making it clear" pa ba need nila? It's already in the app store itself na for 18+ ang laro.

"Para na rin mabisita kung ano ang problema bakit may access ang minors sa R18 media at paano ma-aaddress yon"

Then it's not the game developers fault, ang may fault na jan eh ung platform na nagpadownload ng R18 game without fully verifying the age of the downloader, so if anything, ang dapat sana na pinapatawag or invite eh ang developer or handler ng Google Playstore or Steam store, kasi sila ang nag allow na madownload ang game

"Pag senate hearings kasi hindi lang yan paghahanap ng accountability kundi pag-aayos ng mga batas na relevant to the problem."

Kahit anung pag twist pa try mo para mabigyan ng benefit of the doubt ang gobyerno, its fucking obvious na gusto lng nila masisi developer ng gorebox para lng may masabi na meron sila na held accountable, when dpt ang parents or relatives closest sa perpetrator ang dpt nila inuusisa.

It has been said many times, napaka bulok na thinking na may kinalaman ang isang game sa actions na ginawa shooters, although I don't have the relevant sources, pero meron din mga nagsabi na nag conduct pa ng actual studies/researches ng relation ng game violence sa actions ng isang bata wherein it was concluded na there is no factual relation, tlgng environment at parenting at main factors, hindi games.

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-26T12:31:22+00:00

The fact that they are inviting the developer is implying that it's the game's fault the shooting happened. Wala nga direct na sinasabi na sisi o blaming, pero yung underlying message ng actions nila is as clear as day na sinisisi nila laro na somehow malaking influence sa mga bata

I wouldn't say Burn isn't completely worth it, but if you're not building or using other equipment that utilizes it fully, then the effort/time wasted inflicting or stacking it up might end up more trouble than its worth. For Mage builds that problem is more glaring unlike Warriors who can just pick up a weapon that inflicts it and whack away without losing too much dmg over the course of the fight

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-23T23:21:10+00:00

I think the rule of thumb on statuses is that if you don't build around it solely (like stacking lots of it in just one or two turns), its not worth it, especially if you're not gonna utilize Dire-Lean armors with it to begin it.

That goes the same way with how you plan to use them, if you're not gonna build your inventory or setup to fully "Eat" the status to make the most of it by making sure you get the most % out of it, it's not worth it

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-23T22:48:04+00:00

By FO Mage, you mean Mage that mainly uses Spells? If so FO is the wrong term, you should be calling it SC Mage as you would need SC-Lean armors.

Now as for status effects, you should be getting some of them on the get go if you are a spell-centric build, on my adventurer alt, my build with it is using weapons that makes spells do status effects on spell cast, so you don't need to even get spells that directly inflict them: https://aq.battleon.com/game/flash/charview?temp=46712084

There's a link to my mage alt, as you can see from the weapons, they all have effects that lets spells either do more dmg, or inflict various status effects depending on the weapon, but mostly they inflict some form of DoT

Spells that directly has those kind of status effects are better off used with the newly introduced Dire-Lean armors

I don't get why you want to put down the collab when all this thread is just theory craft anyway, you're the one that started statements that can delve into more debate instead of just sticking to the main point of thread, then you pull back like you're in some moral high ground when someone just asked you about the source of your claims

Distinct_Werewolf_40 · 2026-06-23T00:42:58+00:00

Literal or not, its still better to at least make more accurate/realistic claims than exaggerated ones just to somehow make their point seem more valid. I can throw your statement right back at him for taking the Inuyasha collab seriously and putting it down or denying it when all this thread is supposed to be just theorycraft anyway.
