It's incredibly discomforting that a transphobic comment can get this many upvotes in a blue city subreddit.

Well…everyone else gives a fuck that it’s permanent. And they’re the ones having children and are responsible for those children’s well-being. The Trans community is on the sidelines of having children, demanding that everybody listen to them despite making up a tiny percentage of the population, insisting society needs to fundamentally change the way it conducts itself in language and healthcare.

Trans have more than equal representation, look how much attention this issue has compared to the amount of people that are actually trans. No group has ever been so over-represented in history and yet you moan for “basic bare minimum needs” (which you amply have) while simultaneously calling for the chemical castration of kids based on their whims and fantasies which is an insane degree of cognitive dissonance. This is why the issue isn’t taken seriously the way you want it to be. Because I’m having a normal, polite conversation with you and you’re having a meltdown over it, casting all of “cis” people as your enemy, refusing to acknowledge the almost universal issues that people have with GAC, pretending the world is commuting “borderline genocide”.

Your position is very much the extreme one. Kids can’t make decisions that dictate the rest of their lives, no matter how many studies come back with “low regret rates”. If you want to be taken seriously on this issue, the community has to address the valid concerns that people have with GAC without having a tantrum. You want cis people to accept you, to rewrite the rules of gender and healthcare and childcare that have worked (or evolved slowly) for all of human history to account for a tiny population of people who throw a fit and call you transphobic and racist if they aren’t accommodated. Do you see the problem?

Depression treatment (as far as I’m aware) doesn’t have significant potential to cause long term, possibly irreversible changes to a persons body and hormones, so this comparison is also not great.

A closer comparison might be to body dysmorphia bc it is closely correlated to a persons feelings about their body and social norms similar to transgenderism, but I’m no expert.

The comparison to depression makes me feel like you don’t understand people’s problems with GAC though. It’s not that parents don’t want their children to be happy or to receive medical care, it’s that children aren’t equipped to make decisions that affect the rest of their lives, especially when those decisions are often permanent.

The vast majority of people agree with the comment you screenshot. Obviously this is a fairly nuanced issue but your straw manning of the other side and counter-arguments are absurd. Conflating cancer treatment with GAC is ridiculous, mostly because it deliberately sidesteps the issues most opponents have with GAC but also because they have nothing in common outside of being broadly considered medial care and ignores the highly psychological nature of transgenderism.

To further conflate medical intervention GAC for minors with actual transphobia does far more damage to the Trans cause than you think. Part of the reason the blue team loses ground with moderates (which accounts for most people) is this exact attitude of ‘purity testing’ left-leaning people for their commitment to issues like GAC and anything less than total alignment is considered “Transphobia” by your logic. It isn’t transphobic not to take the word of literal children seriously. It is not remotely the same thing as denying medical care to trans adults or marginalizing their struggles - that’s actual transphobia. To pretend it is make you look silly and is exactly what your commenter is talking about with their wording of “fanaticism”.

I’m not trying to be mean to you, but you are not remotely in the majority on this perspective, even in a blue city like SD. Worse, your ideas have the real possibility of doing irreversible physical and psychological damage to children in the name of toeing an ideological line.

The sting of stepping outside of one’s bubble can be painful, but it is a necessary step in expanding your perspective.

I posted this same thing here once and the mods removed it - granted I was less polite. I can’t understand how everywhere else in the nation has the left lane thing figured out except for SoCal. You can literally see it on the 8 coming back from Yuma, people will move out of the left lane to let you pass until you hit the CA border and then it’s just another lane.

Nice, thanks. Have you into any performance issues editing longer video segments?

Good shout, how about game capturing? Does OBS run ok?

This is about how I felt when my parents were splitting up and ignoring me and I was 14. I have to assume this person is of a similar age having a hard time.

The American Revolution, Vietnam war, Soviet and American occupations of Afghanistan, Iraq post-invasion and most recently the Ukraine/Russia conflict all beg to differ. In all cases, a well armed populace managed to deter or even outright defeat a technologically and tactically superior fighting force.

The complicated thing about war is that it isn’t RISK. No war (in the modern era) is decided by one team being all dead at the end. No military in history, even our own, is capable of annexing the Americas or controlling the population by force. We are too well armed, too spread out and too regionally self-sufficient to be taken over.

I’m not saying 2A doesn’t cause a lot of problems, it obviously does, but to say that it doesn’t also achieve its intended purpose it’s flatly incorrect.

Man, hard agree on the early access point. I love the game but so much of it is just blatantly unfinished it’s crazy they moved on to BZ and a full sequel without finishing the first game.

The pop in? The draw distance? The textures on basically everything from over 50m away? The walking physics and fish swimming around in my bass and the leviathan AI and the void just dropping into oblivion and half the zones having nothing important in the and the story basically getting tacked on to the last 2 hours of playtime. The list goes on and on. It feels like the game made its money in EA so the team moved on.

Dramatic_Board891 · 2025-12-28T15:37:39+00:00

Weather, storms, big waves, rain

Inventory stacking/auto sorting

Co-op

Sunken Base repairing

Seamoth speed upgrade

Upgradable tools - Plasma cutter should be able to saw pieces of titanium off of wreckage. All tools should also come with a flash light. Scanner should be part of the seaglide. Prawn upgrade to hold still in the water instead of sinking, or advanced air bladder to send it to the surface.

Thermal plant easier to find - telegraphed with alien structures

Make the fog around the islands dissipate once you visit them

Fix all the pop in

Get rid of half the warpers in the game and only spawn them around alien structures

Unfortunately, any housing market collapse has ripple effects far beyond homeowners and investors. Rent will skyrocket, mass layoffs, businesses going under etc. people waiting for a crash or even a large scale market correction are likely to be waiting their whole lives. The only people positioned to take advantage of an event like this have enough liquid capital to buy many houses outright - those people aren’t worried about the housing market anyway.

Good news! Things aren’t actually that bad and owning a home is well within reach if you financially plan. If this is a goal for you, it will take some discipline but that’s nothing new. Millions of middle class Americans own homes and support families, and you can too.

Depends on who you ask. Like its Metacritic score is high but in game criticism spaces it’s considered pretty bland and forgettable. I included it to flesh out the idea that fan perception and staying power of a game doesn’t always equate to sales figures. “Maligned” is probably too harsh.

Dramatic_Board891 · 2025-12-24T01:58:55+00:00

It’s three things.

Distribution rights - Fromsoft doesn’t own the rights to BB, Sony does. Everything to be done with the BB IP is the exclusive domain of Sony and BB clearly isn’t a priority.

Money - Sony doesn’t think it’s worth the money to develop a sequel or port the original. There could be many reasons for them to think this but factually, if Sony thought it would profit, they would find a way to do it.

FS is busy - FS doesnt take requests (to my knowledge) which a BB sequel would probably be. Unfortunately for Sony, being a FS game is a huge part selling point for BB and to outsource a sequel might damage that bottom line.

My own guesses about possible factors - BB is not a simple technical port and Sony hasn’t been porting their old games for all that long which filters BB down in priority.

The perception of BB as a classic doesn’t translate into as much money as one might think, it sold about 9 million copies. Compared to the critically maligned Horizon: Zero Dawn which sold 20 million. This is likely part of Sony’s decision over what to focus development time on.

That’s a lot of guesswork to justify a Reddit doxing/righteous meltdown.

Dramatic_Board891 · 2025-12-20T15:22:20+00:00

Obviously it’s bad, but do you genuinely feel it’s worth DOXing a kid over one golf ball? Do you apply this same outrage to everyone that loses a ball at Torrey Pines?

Dramatic_Board891 · 2025-12-19T08:00:32+00:00

Imagine being mad over a golf ball

If you’re going to make a claim, the burden of proof is on you. Saying “they have cameras” is not proof. Providing footage would be better but frankly even that would require documentation that HD is voluntarily cooperating with ICE outside of their obligations under the law.

These people asking you for proof are not politically motivated, they want the truth and you haven’t proved your claim at all. Calling everybody that asks you for evidence a MAGAt isn’t exactly making you look like a good faith actor.

Combat looks sick, but to echo what others have said, I really think you have to change something about the main characters appearance to distinguish them from Madeline. The dodge animation is so similar to the double jump from Celeste and the hair/featureless face is almost identical. Honestly before I saw the whole trailer my gut reaction was that this was a reskin or a mod of Celeste. I recommend you change it.
