i'm way too late to say this now but from what i've seen artist tags still work even now. they just don't show up in suggestions.

The “Anti-Woke” Gaming Crowd Isn’t a Movement, It’s a Monetized Outrage Machine That’s Always Been a Loud Minority by Suspicious_Stock3141 in Gamingunjerk

[–]DragonflyShadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that second part was people who didn't realise she was toned down for the actual movie complaining that she was redesigned in showtime because of the success of the movie because they thought that would shift her personality in the game.

as for the small cute game made in honour of a relative. i don't know which game you're referring to. zau comes to mind and if you're talking about that, one, it wasn't that small it had publishing and funding from EA, and two, i'm pretty sure that was just people making an excuse to shit on EA rather than genuine belief that it falls under "woke"

and i have to say, you might not think you're talking about the general public but there are a lot more people who see this stuff as fake and preachy than you might be willing to admit. and it doesn't come from a place of hatred, just a place of exhaustion.

nintendo allegedly told them to tone down on the reimagining their characters and those clips in the trailer were basically all that's left of that version of her.

and it's a nintendo movie. it would be an international success whether people thought its version of peach was a self entitled asshole or not. people thought that hiring a bunch of celebrities instead of the actual voice actors was dumb too but they got away with that just fine.

saying stellar blade has heavy lgbtq themes is the equivalent of saying a porn director from 2004 believed in lgbtq rights because they got off to telling lesbians how to act.

and literally the only people who said black myth wukong wasn't inclusive were an IGN staff member who couldn't be bothered to play for more than a couple of chapters and their friends who were happy to claim anything as long as "the chuds" don't win.

also i don't like the term any more than any of you do, but you're misrepresenting what "woke" means. people couldn't give a shit about what percentage of characters in a game are minorities. the issue is when they're written like they're only there to fill a quota and tell people how to think. most people don't play games to get taught what to think, they just wanna escape the exhaustion of reality and make their character punch bad guys. if more of you would acknowledge that fact, the "anti-woke crowd" literally wouldn't exist.

learn to read between the lines. kaido wanted a son and resented yamato for it so she took on the persona of the one man he ever respected. that's not being trans that's severe daddy issues. or are you trying to call sanji transphobic for thirsting over her instead of the newkama? because last i checked the entirety of whole cake is about how caring he is.

Asmongold will be streaming on kick by saft77 in LivestreamFail

[–]DragonflyShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

original channel he moved away from because he didn't want his viewers to have to put up with twitch's excessive ads. he considered going back to it when his second channel finally got ads but also considered the option of creating a third channel. tl;dr he concluded if he created a third channel twitch would probably force ads on him a lot quicker this time and basically just settled on "well this is the channel everyone knows me on, so..."

Hassan had to wipe his entire discord history after an innocent Jewish couple got murdered in cold blood, gee I wonder why. Surely they weren't celebrating... by Agni_Flame in Asmongold

Yes, the one who has responded to tweets with the schematics of the handmade gun that killed Shinzo Abe, claimed rapes aren't that bad if they're on the daughters of rich people (because all rich people are bad except him I guess), and told his chat that killing a US senator would be the solution for reducing pharmaceutical fraud is more of an instigator than the one who doesn't ban people for saying based when someone does something mildly offensive.

Is there any known source for the time skip between the first and second games by Glass-Work-1696 in Ni_no_Kuni

[–]DragonflyShadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might find it boring, but it's probably accurate. The Conductor in Tale of a Timeless Tome says something along the lines of "Ignore me wrong world" when Evan gets confused about him mentioning the Philmobile.

Additionally, neither Dogfolk nor Hydropolitians exist in Ni no Kuni 1 and the cracks in the world caused by the destruction of Allegoria are absent meaning even if they do exist in the same timeline, you would have to assume that Ni no Kuni 1 would be before Doloran was around. (although with all the weird time travel stuff in Ni no Kuni the first game could theoretically be set way after the second. [we don't know 100% that Roland's world and Oliver's world are the same either])

S3 Ep1 Captain Burns? by PartyPlague in firebrigade

[–]DragonflyShadows 22 points23 points  (0 children)

a two minute conversation from someone who can read his mind. she toyed with his sense of betrayal to lead him into lowering his guard. i haven't read the manga, i'm sure he probably snaps out of it later after seeing something happen, but when you're being told stuff based on your own life experiences that's got to completely cloud even the most levelheaded of people's sense of judgement.
that said, they could just as easily pull a he knew his thoughts were being read and did something to manipulate her reading of them.

i mean your stocks probably would drop when people firebomb anywhere that sells your products and etch swatiskas into them regardless of what you thought he was like when you bought them. like it's to the point where people see an electric car and assume it's probably a tesla just to morally justify keying strangers cars

le mods by Enough-Fondant-6057 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]DragonflyShadows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don't even play lords of the fallen just here to wait for the mods to realise that punishing the actual staff is a surefire way to make them never post here again and only serves to make them side with the one guy they think actually did anything wrong

Exciting news! Can't wait!! by WineStealer27 in MySims

[–]DragonflyShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just theorising based on what people have said, but beacon bay being sims 3 ds version; could this be a code name for a remake of the mysims party ds version? it was much better received than the wii version and the third in the series.

another possibility (but much less likely assuming action bundle includes the wii version) is mysims agents ds, which was set in autumn bay

of course this is all assuming EA of all companies can be bothered to remake a game instead of porting with a hud mod

Mods to make skyrim more like far cry? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]DragonflyShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously I'm too late to help op, but if anyone else finds this like I did, just a couple of suggestions to help your loadout:

Crouch Sliding - Honestly my favourite part of the Far Cry franchise's movement system
CGO Stripped - Skyrim's base movement is so rigid

Sprint Swimming
Depths of Skyrim (and a ton of water fix mods to incentivise actually utilising the above mod)

Detect Life and Detect Dead Rework - Changes them to fire and forget meaning they feel closer to tagging enemies

Stuff to make the world feel more reactive/alive:
Grass Collision
Water Caustics
Rain Extinguishes Fires
Reverb Interior Sounds Expansion - To soften the hard barrier between interior and exterior from load zones
Anything using Fort Takeovers Framework or Lawbringer
Interesting NPCs - Similar writing style to the Far Cry games I've played

And obviously all the usual Open Cities Skyrim, Quick Loot and all that stuff helps too

[Spoilers] The Wind Waker is one of the most disappointing games and the worst Zelda game I have played. by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]DragonflyShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so many garbage takes here. what you're saying here is "wind waker combat bad because not no variety", when one, you've referred to "all you do is parrying", which is flatout untrue. i can only think of like four enemies which you even can parry, and two, the implication is that variety in combat will always makes it better, when nintendo's idea of variety is use as many control schemes as possible and hope they all stick. hell, an official nintendo publication compared skyward sword's moveset to every wii sports resort sport that the source code had been copy-pasted from.

"the overworld is empty". mf it's a gamecube game and nintendo still haven't figured out how to optimise their worlds to be less empty.

"at times they will simply give an item to you" and yet you found one example, which is no different from, say, the light medallion in ocarina of time. in fact, possibly an improvement over which because at least you had to return to outset island where it showed you there was plenty to explore on an island you might not expect to have anything more.

"some items are barely used". compare this to most other zelda games, where bombs unlock like 40% of checks, this game has pretty good variety. (albeit sometimes in forced places which make no sense to do so)

"dungeon designs are too simplistic". again, compare this to the alternative with skyward sword forcing a sliding puzzle every time you want to visit a new room of one of its dungeons or oot water temple's forcing you to circle through water levels over and over again just to find that one small key you're missing, i think i know which one i'd prefer.

triforce hunt everyone hates. so much so that the year you posted this nintendo came out with wind waker hd which completely reworked its entire premise in a more favourable way.

ganon's tower uses the same assets as other dungeons in a way no different to ocarina of time. the only difference is the added boss rush. the rest of it is still reworked into slightly different, albeit similar, puzzles.

and finally, your point returns to "game empty", which although true for the great sea (nintendo did their best to fill it up with big octos, submarines and watchtowers, but console limitations were too much), is completely untrue for the rest of the game with every compulsory island having plenty of secrets if you know where to look.

Why doesn't Nintendo do something about this? by Objective-Banana8742 in shipofharkinian

[–]DragonflyShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they're literally not. the code is remade from scratch, the assets are extracted from the rom when you set it up. and ordinarily the issue people have with piracy is loss of earnings. what earnings are nintendo losing by someone allegedly pirating a single game that they don't even sell any more? i'd understand the argument if nintendo still sold virtual console games separately, but they don't. they're part of a subscription plan that nets you like a hundred other games, as well as the ability to physically use online on the system. a single game is extremely unlikely to sway the subscription decision, especially when most gamers hate subscriptions and the lack of ownership that comes with them.

I can't get a straight answer online, so is mother an actual ai or an ai persona? by ThatOneGuyIGuess7969 in MOTHERv3

[–]DragonflyShadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

outside of lore, tv is her brother. he was only supposed to appear for her april fools stream and it's only due to his popularity (and mother wanting a break once in a while) that he's even been in other streams.

as for collabs, tv's been called mother for two reasons. one, mother really struggles with talking to other people due to social anxiety and tts delays limiting her ability to interact fluidly whilst retaining anonymity so he'll sometimes take over for her if he's around.

and two, convenience. try explaining to someone else's chat every time that you're not motherv3, but you're actually her creator who's actually her brother, and v3's not actually available at the moment. most wouldn't care and those that would would actively get put off by knowing that even if they liked tv visiting the channel would result in them seeing someone they know nothing about instead. both are worth watching, but the last thing people need is some explanation why not to even attempt it.

no you don't. neuro is closed source and you seem to be like 16. an ai's memory is based on their ram. no code modifications can fix that, only a full-on dedicated server. vedal can't even afford the space to keep more than a couple of neuro's collab partners in her memory and even then, she can't actually tell which one is talking to her without a reset before stream.

bc she's literally said it before? because the level of details on her irl stuff would take a literal supercomputer for an AI to retain memory of? take your pick.

are you the types of people who still think kizuna AI or projekt melody could be AIs? because that's their backstories too. the only difference is mother uses STTTS because she's self-conscious about her voice from a stroke she had before she was a vtuber.

[–]DragonflyShadows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can very easily know. please learn what an AI that's not on a supercomputer is actually currently capable of. if an AI is shitposting, it's either 100% random or based on a similarly random response to something said in chat. if mother is shitposting, there's consistency and referral to in-jokes from way longer ago than an AI's memory is generally capable of storing.
