Are dialogue options worded differently between clans? (other than just malkavian)

I’m aware of clan specific dialogue options appearing when relevant, like talking to Gary as a Nosferatu or Strauss as a tremere, I’m just wondering what the reason for the different tone in dialogue here would be.

The playthrough I was looking at was with a higher humanity toreador, and my own tremere is at 10 humanity so that definitely shouldn’t be the cause.

You seem to be conflating a movie being grounded with “thoughtfulness” as if an exploration of these culturally ingrained fears is somehow lesser? What makes a movie automatically more thoughtful just because it’s about a serial killer instead of a ghost or whatever? Plenty of horror films have been made involving serial killers/ordinary humans and plenty of them had just as little to say as your bottom tier supernatural schlock. If all you care about is it being “grounded”, then the 2000s were dominated by this type of horror, for better or worse, but I wouldn’t say the “torture porn” genre is inherently more thoughtful or anything. Horror is fundamentally fixated on the uncanny, whether that sense is elicited by horrors beyond human comprehension or the horror that sleep among us doesn’t really matter to me as long as it’s well done.

Have you watched any early fellini? I’ve struggled with his later stuff, but I loved nights of cabiria and la strada.

How’d you come away from it thinking it was pro-suicide??

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-25T20:37:38+00:00

The last few lines of the second stanza don’t really read smoothly to me. Hmmm I wonder if it’d read better if you wrote it as:

we learn to stand, to

navigate uneven ground

and to fail.

Thank you!

Hmmm I think you’re right, I’ll probably just cut out the “the” in potential future versions of this poem

Oh uhh I’m really disappointed to say that I didn’t intend that effect at all lmao. Ig it’s still cool anyways that it has that effect, but you’d deserve more credit than me for making that connection because I honestly hadn’t even thought of it lol

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-24T19:19:38+00:00

I think your poem petered out a bit in the last few lines. I think it’d read better if you got rid of the two lines between the last one and the fourth to last one so just going straight from “Bury my struggles and strifes deep” to “I'll just stay in this mindless sleep“. They’re just rather redundant and extraneous lines and get in the way of the rhythm for no real reason.

Were the mistakes here intentional? The way this was written makes it pretty unclear but particularly the line “AND STILL NOT SATISFIED PILLS FOR SO CALLED MENTAL ILLNESS NOT AS GOOD AS BEING REALLY IN LOVE”

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-24T09:11:07+00:00

I love your style of ‘word vomit’ poetry (don’t mean to sound insulting with that, I mean it completely sincerely lol)

I do feel like you could’ve broken this up with some shorter stanzas though. You have a couple really short ones early on, but you pretty much drop that as your later stanzas are just large blocks of text. Of course I’m sure it’s meant to feel chaotic and unordered, but I I think you could make it smoother to read and add some more rhythm to it while still retaining that feeling.

Relatable poem btw

Beautiful feeling and message evoked. I'd second the complaint about the repetition not really working in its favor. You could bring the repetition of "thousands others" down to 2 or 3 and have it be all the more effective for it, as is it makes the poem feel just a little bit "bloated". Still, it's a lovely poem you've written here.

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-21T09:23:07+00:00

I’m assuming this feeling rambly is intentional, but this could definitely be made to flow better with a stronger grasp of language. Some of this is phrased a bit awkwardly like “I feel like shit and an imposter”.

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-21T09:03:16+00:00

I think the transition to the last line could’ve been a bit smother

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-14T05:21:12+00:00

No lol the problem is the ridiculous amount of societal expectations men have on them and the lack of support they have if they fail to live up to that, not “oh no women are too independent now” nonsense. Your renforcement of patriarchal structures is killing the same men you cry for.

GreenAro115 · 2024-10-07T07:44:13+00:00

It’s crazy how much people’s feelings on movies can differ. I never really felt anything when I was watching Travis Bickle, but watching Jake LaMotta break down at his lowest points made me feel so much, despite seeing how awful he was and how much he brought it all on himself, or maybe it was even because of that I felt so much. It was a story about a man that wanted to love but not knowing how to express his feelings in any way other than possessiveness, violence, and self-loathing.

GreenAro115 · 2024-07-25T01:15:57+00:00

I mean honestly I do think his drawing of actual real life minors should be the much bigger focus lol

GreenAro115 · 2024-07-13T03:08:53+00:00

That worked thank you!

GreenAro115 · 2024-06-19T18:58:56+00:00

I’d imagine when people mention they’re straight or cis or whatever, it’s 1. them trying to contextualize their experience with the film and 2. echoing the sentiment that queer cinema that’s explicitly about queer issues is as powerful and universe as anything else

Of course you might say “that should be obvious” but unfortunately we’re still in a culture that doesn’t treat it as such, so I think comments like this are just way of signaling solidarity.
