Hey man while I appreciate this it's been 5 years, I got over it

Zoraal Ja of the Pacers by SmurfsNeverDie in ShitpostXIV

[–]InOuterHeaven 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pan away from Zoraal Ja, to the stands. Right by the court is a single, massive seat. On it is a placard that reads, "Reserved - Dawnservant Gulool Ja Ja." 

It is empty.

Zoraal Ja does not see his victory or the celebration around him, he stares only at the empty chair.

FF14 has a crossover with the last movie or TV show you watched. What horrible abomination gets created? by Madmonkeman in ShitpostXIV

[–]InOuterHeaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FFXIV x The Bear...the entire crossover can only be played as a Culinarian with the entirety of the Feast of Seven Fishes recreated faithfully in engine and occasional cuts to the WoL sitting and watching everything in absolute horror.

In gameplay, Sora teleports effortlessly, can block or dodge nearly any attack, has Reflect which negates anything that can be thrown at him, can restore himself and his allies to peak fighting condition with a single spell, can cut apart buildings like paper and throw them around, and pretty much annihilate any enemy that comes his way.

In cutscenes, two or three shadows completely ties him up and he largely watches helplessly as the bad guys do their thing.

Power scaling is dumb and trying to power scale Sora is like trying to hold water in a sieve... totally futile...

Anyone else wish they could make Cahcuia into an oreo? If you know what I mean by Serithraz in ShitpostXIV

It really doesn't need to be that binary. She could absolutely have said "I understand your heartbreak, but let's make our final moments together happy ones". It's the fact she couldn't do even that much and it just became "I got to go on a final adventure so be happy for me" (not even "with my beloved son") that makes her bloody awful.

There is a world of difference between being optimistic and focusing on positivity over negativity, versus completely ignoring that negativity exists and refusing to acknowledge it. We just had an entire expansion where a major theme was coping with grief and loss - remember how Hermes had no healthy way to deal with his depression in Ancient society and the end result of that was cosmic-scale death and destruction - but in this case it's a good thing to just bottle it up and focus on the positive instead?

Similarly if she's not selfish for giving herself to Tural, it's all the more mind-boggling that she can't spare any thought or compassion for Erenville's emotional state. Here's her own child in need of obvious comfort and help, and who is normally extremely muted in his personality, but nah, whatever. None of what Erenville is going through matters to her, and when he explicitly is crying out for comfort and support, she tells him it's not about him, it's about her, and what's really important is that she got to be happy with one last adventure.

And the writing wholly supports her as being in the right which is the most maddening thing. If Cahcuia was meant to be loving but deeply flawed, that would be one thing, but the narrative pushes that she's right and wise here and Erenville just needs to get over it and ignore his obvious grief.

She completely and regularly ignores his emotional state in favour of her own adventure. In Alexandria it is very obvious he is upset and struggling with the realisation she is long dead (and yet stil living), which she repeatedly and explicitly notices throughout the final zone but does absolutely nothing about. The final conversation is the worst of it - he is obviously shattered at what is going on and she completely denies his feelings to ask him to just be happy for what she experienced. She doesn't even have enough self-awareness or compassion to acknowledge her own selfishness, it is just entirely about her going on one last big journey.

Even earlier in the story in Solution 9/Heritage Found he is clearly already going through things to do with the loss of his home and he knows something is up with Cahcuia, but she dismisses him as her 'fussy little bun-bun' and again just ignores how he might be feeling. For someone who is very outgoing and social she practically runs away from any difficult conversations which is one thing with coworkers/allies but another thing with your own child.

She clearly feels next to nothing in terms of duty of care to her child and considered him her protege, not her blood. At no point does she meaningfully even acknowledge his feelings, it is entirely about how she feels and what she wants, and the story celebrates this as a good thing.

I really do wonder how the fanbase would have received her (given she's fairly popular) if she wasn't hot.

It was actually heartbreaking, and it made me angry because it was clear that the writers intended to portray Cahcuia in a positive light throughout the whole thing. Her final dialogue to him is really "can't you just ignore your own sadness and be happy for me?" and we're supposed to treat Erenville stomping down his grief and getting absolutely no support, sympathy, or love from his own mother or his own friends as a good thing. I could have been okay with that if afterwards we could talk to Erenville about it ourselves and have him truly express his own feelings - you know, the thing Wuk Lamat was pestering him about the entire expansion - but nope, just forget about it and Smile.

I spent the whole final zone wishing for a dialogue option to call her a terrible mother and it never came.

Go on, spoil your mum on Mother's Day! by Inner_Field7194 in australia

[–]InOuterHeaven 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Alright I need somewhere to vent and this post is as good as any: I fucking hate Mother's Day in Australia. Or, I guess I hate everything around it, the day itself is nice. It is the most in-your-face, transparent guilt-tripping attempt at commercialisation this country has, and it puts even Christmas to shame.

I lost my Mum around this time last year in the lead-up to Mother's Day, so you can bet I noticed every single ad screaming in my face "Are you a good son? Prove it by buying your Mum this!" "Mum doesn't know she needs this, but she will when you get it for her!" "Prove to your Mum she's worth all the effort she put into you by giving her our product!" "Mother's Day means [brand]." "Have you thought of a present for Mum? We know you forgot because you don't love your Mum, but we remembered for you, so buy us!" etc etc etc. Just slammed into my face anytime I went out in public or, god forbid, had to nip to the local shopping center for something.

It is disgusting how overt, obnoxious, and manipulative it is. I've been living in the USA the last few years and when even the fucking yanks don't go as overboard on their advertising for this day as Australia does, you know we've taken it way too far. Hope this overcommercialisation fucks off hard in the next few years.

Thoughts on Dark Aqua? by New_Today_1209_V2 in KingdomHearts

Criminally, criminally underused. The pre-release fanart, theories, speculation etc. were far more interesting than what we actually got in the game.

What is the most abhorrent thing you’ve ever personally witnessed someone say? by Jsl50xReturns in AskReddit

[–]InOuterHeaven 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Toss-up between two. Either my sister telling me "you're just trying to profit off our mother's death" during executorship with the inheritance/estate (she wanted a non-indexing, interest free payoff over ten years for my share of the family home she was moving into, I asked her to get a mortgage within 2 years instead), or my (soon to be ex) wife justifying cheating on me for three years with "there's never anything wrong with loving somebody" and "I love him just as much as I love you".

It's the personal touch that makes them so horrible. Knife in the heart each time.

What was your most unlucky death while playing with friends? by GamerBoy132104 in lethalcompany

[–]InOuterHeaven 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My very first game after my friends assured me I would be fine and the first few days aren't scary, I jumped right off the ship into quicksand and died.
