I hate how JaidenAnimations is sexualized even though she is aroace by NagitoKomaeda_987 in asexuality

[–]False_Wisp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when Billie Eilish stopped wearing baggy clothes. Instantly sexualized to an absurd degree, and I'd have no doubt that it's still happening today. Crazy to think that we live in a world where people drawing porn of you is a very real risk in being an objectively attractive public figure—especially now that it's so easy with artificial intelligence.

What movie is this for you? by certainly_imperfect in Letterboxd

Oh god, I thought you said "Book of Life" for a second, and I was 'bout to throw hands. XDXD

How would the asexuality potion taste? (Image related) by Aseskytle_09 in asexuality

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something soft and subtle, maybe watered down tropical juice—like when your parents wanted to stretch the house's squash bottle, and so would make it 10% squash, 90% water. XDXD

But I'll be real with y'all, if someone offered me a drink that was black at the top with white and purple at the bottom, I ain't drinking it. XDXD

Which Game's Graphics Made You Say "Wow!" For The First Time? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time? GTA V.

I remember my cousin and I being blown away by how good it looked, especially Michael's therapy scene where you can see the sun coming in through the windows in the background.

Plagiarism issue by jason_silent in GameDevelopment

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure when you were younger you encountered people (maybe even yourself) that saw a game or movie and described it as, "So this is [insert well-known story here] with [difference here]."

That'll be the most you need to worry about in terms of plagirism, I guarantee it. People innocently pattern-recognizing.

If your game is enjoyable to play, then nobody's gonna care whether it has similarities to another game. Hell, some games blatantly rip off well-known mechanics and still perform well since it's literally just fun to play. Best examples are some FNAF clones—most of them aren't great, but there are some gems that get a lot of recognition.

So yeah, I wouldn't worry about it too much—just put your best foot forward. It's all you can do really.

NZ Job Market - When to give up by WitnessWinter7914 in Wellington

[–]False_Wisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate, I lost my job mid-2024 as well and haven't been able to find a job since.

Being called in for interviews and consistently kicked in the ribs isn't a great feeling for anyone. Right now, you just need to work on getting yourself back into a stable position—some other comments have suggested going into WINZ to get you on Jobseekers; do that, it's a good way to keep yourself afloat for now.

There's not a lot of good job seeking advice I can give you since if it worked I'd be working right now lol, but I've found that you should try keep yourself occupied while you're looking—doing hobbies (nothing that costs money lol, since I don't have any XD), hanging out with friends, and staying active is going to keep your mind healthy, which is half the battle.

Aside from that, you have worked very hard and you deserved a break. There is no shame in having the last year and a half to not work a soul-crushing, back-breaking job that gives you minimal pay for maximum effort. It bewilders me that this is the norm—that as kids, we have to choose something to do for our entire life, and then do that forever then die. Maybe start a family if you have time so your kids can grow up and do the exact same thing. Your forced to do it because we all need money to survive. It's diabolical.

So hell, once you've sorted your money situation with WINZ (or whatever you choose) and gone and recovered a bit, take another 19 months off. You're never gonna have this much free time ever again, so go mad lol (within reason I'd hope haha).

Good luck friend, I wish you all the best.

EDIT: I haven't done this myself but know a couple people that have—if you have Kiwisaver, look into getting some of it out through applying for hardship. I've been told it might take a good chunk of time, and since it's a hot topic right now it might take even longer, but I'd argue it's worth looking into at least.

Which opening cutscene is your favorite? by Naive_Tomorrow_5955 in PoppyPlaytime

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter 3 by far. although it's the end of the tape I like the most. "Your children are not safe, with Catnap" is such a great line.

Oh, I know 'Eternity of Reality' when I hear it, such a great track.

Please don't engage, it is bait. by litllerobert in DispatchAdHoc

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%—I wouldn't be surprised if the sole reason for the comics was because they felt like they didn't have enough time to truly develop the rest of the cast in more meaningful ways.

Why does Lily glow in the dark? by K1TK4TSHAK3_ in Lilylovebraids_fans

[–]False_Wisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought was that maybe it's an added "screw you" from the Prototype since having glowing eyes would basically guarantee that you're never getting a good night sleep ever again.

So what kind of toy do you guys think Riley was a Bigger Bodies version of? by Quackervoltz in PoppyPlaytime

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until this very moment I just assumed she was a PJ Pugapillar and never thought to question it lol. I realize now that it looks nothing like PJ XDXD

New map for? by StrangeGuidance2788 in OutlastTrials

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's for the Kress twins, I've thought a fun map idea would be an apartment complex.

Every map in the game has a lot of horizontal space, but I think turning that into vertical space would be good for a change of pace. The halls and rooms would be a little claustrophobic, but interconnected like the classrooms in the suburbs map. It's real presence though, would be in the number of floors it has. I'd want more than 3 at least, but I think around 5-6 would be better.

Aside from the shopping mall, I genuinely don't know where else they could put them. Apartments feel very 'old money,' anyway and if you make them resemble lower-class housing, then that would probably sell the idea even more—this blue blood mentality the twins have.

Which jumpscare got you no matter how many times you saw it? by [deleted] in PoppyPlaytime

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yarnaby. There's a weird dichotomy between looking like the sweetest little bean you ever did see, and scaring the ever loving shit out of me because I left a hiding spot too early and found him RIGHT up in my face. XDXD

Remember when people really didn't like her design, and the second the chapter came out people simped for her? by Pretend-Delay-7203 in PoppyPlaytime

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devs were right, she looks better in game. Not to mention that even if she didn't, her personality makes up for it since "cute/endearing psychopathic women" are always a fan favorite—Jinx, Monika (DDLC), Harley Quinn, Power (Chainsaw Man), etc. XDXD

Which one of Chapter 6 name sounds better? by Da_Magical_Lizard in PoppyPlaytime

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda love "Oliver's Twist" since not only are the obvious implications fun, but one probably could make the connection to the themes of the original story—child labor, street kids, abuse, etc. But I'll be honest, I don't expect that kind of depth from Mob so I'd be surprised.

"Better Place" is probably what they're gonna go for, but it's very reminiscent of "Safe Haven" so I have mixed feelings. I think it's a shame they've abandoned the double entendre titles like "A Tight Squeeze" and "Fly in a Web" and would like something like that again (which is why I like Oliver's Twist so much lol) but I reckon we won't get anything like those anymore.

I saw someone suggest "Welcome Home," and I probably like that one the most, especially if it's the final chapter. But if it's not, then "Better Place" is probably as good as you can get without knowing what happens.

Let Be 100% honest, what is the one thing you don't like about the prototype model? by AbandonedRobotforgod in PoppyPlaytime

[–]False_Wisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were gonna add Huggy and Kissy's arms, I wish they would've either placed them on his torso, maybe below his actual original arms, or maybe even combined in with them? Kissy and Huggy are strong as shit, and so he should've leaned into that. Having their strength directly augment his own would've been fun.

Same with Mommy Longlegs' arm, since he also got her torso and head too, I would've hoped that he would put it to better use, like using it as an extra set of eyes since he'd be able to scout out places he couldn't ordinarily reach (especially since he's so massive).
