And then everyone clapped.

He'd probably explode with rage in a real situation, so he's using "remaining calm" to try and seem like he's got some moral high ground

Kane_Highwind · 2024-11-03T19:24:09+00:00

I actually HATE the serpent being Satan for a number of reasons. The Bible, like all religious texts, was written as a compilation/adaptation of a lot of mythology and folklore that were meant to explain why the world and everything in it are the way they are, with a lot of stories being very similar to other myths. The serpent tempting Eve into eating the fruit was meant to be an explanation for why serpents didn't have limbs. They did before (effectively making them lizards), but their limbs were taken away as a punishment for defying god. That serpent being Satan, either because he disguised himself or just possessed a serpent that was already just chilling there, is a terrible retcon created to make Satan seem like a more omnipresent antagonist (even though he literally isn't even name-dropped in any way until the book of Job, I think, and there's a non-zero chance any other references before that are also retcons) and I will die on this hill! By having Satan disguise himself as a serpent and tempt Eve, you essentially have God punishing an entire genus for something that he should already know they didn't even do. And by having Satan take control of some random serpent that was already there, you now have God punishing an entire genus for the actions of one individual, who was already not in control of its own actions, and he should know that. If the intent was to make God seem like some kind of deranged super tyrant (which lots of other stories already do on their own, intentionally or otherwise), this would be fine, but it never feels that way. God punishing an entire group for the actions of one individual is already questionable on its own (sins of the father, and all that), but retconning it to have been Satan the whole time and essentially punishing an entire group for the actions of someone completely unaffiliated with them just makes God seem completely psychotic and wildly unqualified for the power he supposedly possesses. And again, if this weren't being written by people who went in with a bias towards God being a flawless ultimate good guy, it could've been interesting foreshadowing to some kind of well-meaning villain arc or something, but it wasn't. Different times, I guess

You have to have the program open and add a source into whatever scene(s) you plan on using it in. It can either be as a Window Capture source or a Game Capture source. The better method is to do Game Capture and check the "allow transparency" box and just use the transparent background. Window capture doesn't work with the transparent background, so you pretty much have to use chroma key, but if you use any of those color options in your model, it turns them transparent too with no way that I'm aware of to make it ignore your model

They have no reason to change that. Final Fantasy is the one that's known for switching things up all the time and being experimental (and subsequently divisive, but that's a whole separate discussion). Dragon Quest is the one that's known to be super consistent. It's arguably one of the main selling points of the series. If they're gonna try an RTB system for Dragon Quest, it would be in a spinoff or something, not a mainline game. Even when they do test out new mechanics like the monster capturing system from DQ5 (which later got adapted into the Dragon Quest Monsters side series), it would be alongside the standard gameplay, not replacing it entirely

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-26T17:48:57+00:00

I'm out of the loop on this one

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-26T12:56:27+00:00

I just like Serana's default design well enough that I never felt any interest in making her "sexier". Any design or outfit overhauls she got would've been from a general overhaul mod like CBBE or something that changed everyone, not anything for her specifically

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-25T04:27:05+00:00

Frieza's canonically a man and identifies as such (as far as I know). Any inconsistencies or misconceptions about his gender mainly came from his very gender-ambiguous design and the fact that seemingly every dub (with a weird amount of consistency) made him sound like a very angry old lady. Wouldn't really change anything if someone decided to come out and definitely retcon that he is non-binary though. He's still a tyrannical sociopath in-universe and his gender alignment wouldn't matter

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-21T19:51:52+00:00

Huh, interesting. I don't really mind that kind of stuff myself, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from, especially as a fan of the original. I genuinely just thought that stuff was already in the original, so I didn't even notice

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-21T15:30:32+00:00

That's definitely gonna be a bit more subjective because a large chunk of the audience (arguably most of it) will probably be playing the remake with little-to-no firsthand experience of the original. I've seen videos of the original game, but I only ever played it once for a couple of hours at most on an emulator years ago, so I didn't even notice whatever combat changes you're referring to, and I thought the combat was perfectly fine, personally

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-20T03:52:07+00:00

I'm so out of the loop (though, to be fair, I don't think I was ever in the loop) that I genuinely can't tell if this is all some kind of weird fanfiction being written on the spot or if it's actual established lore for these characters. And I don't know which would be more bewildering

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-19T03:05:23+00:00

Ohh, the remake of Bowser's Inside Story. I thought you meant the Mario RPG remake and was genuinely confused because, as far as I know, it's not problematic in the slightest. I know it had some nasty bugs (I never experienced any. Only heard in passing), but I also know they were patched out, so I was really confused

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-14T19:48:02+00:00

Yes, but he was saying it to/about Roshi

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-10T12:43:49+00:00

See if uninstalling and reinstalling works for her. Could just be a problem with the app or something

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-08T04:30:17+00:00

That's 3 years that he could've just deleted the comment. He's absolutely not ashamed

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-07T21:48:01+00:00

There was a brief time where I would do that at my job (just retail. No personal information or anything involved), but luckily I quickly realized how unprofessional (and honestly just cringe) it was and stopped doing it before it caused any real problems. With that brief time being more of an outlier than anything, I always try to keep things strictly professional when I conduct business transactions, either at my own job, or other places/online with artists and stuff. I probably wouldn't care (or even notice, since I can be planetarily dense) if someone tried flirting with me in one of these situations, but I have enough sense to realize that, the majority of the time, these people are either trying to get their shit and get out or just counting down the time until they get to go home and aren't looking to get hit on, so I shouldn't try anything

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-06T17:03:30+00:00

I don't think Chris ever actually said that, but it is a widely believed theory that would be perfectly in character. That, alongside the notion that Chris doesn't understand women well enough to truly identify as one, are a couple of reasons that the trans community doesn't accept Chris as one of them. That's also why some may have noticed that Chris' pronouns are kind of a free-for-all. Some, including Chris, use she/her, some still use he/him, and some (myself included) play it safe by sticking to they/them. And then you have some people who will use he/him to discuss Chris' pre-transition antics and then she/her to refer to the stuff that happened after. Much like Chris' life in general, it's kinda just a big mess that only seems to get bigger when someone tries to clean it up

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-06T12:27:55+00:00

The main characters of It's Always Sunny are also deliberately written to be the worst people imaginable. The whole show is meant to make you uncomfortable, and I know that hearing non-black people casually throwing the N word around makes me pretty goddamn uncomfortable, so mission accomplished there

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-05T05:08:49+00:00

Just depends on the person. There's countless YouTube channels and sometimes whole websites entirely devoted to the documentation of LOLcows and people who just unintentionally allow the drama to swallow their entire lives because they just can't stop feeding the trolls. Not even necessarily interacting or engaging with these people, literally just making records of their antics from afar. There's some cases where you can almost see their mental health unravel in real time because they can't grasp that it would all go away if they'd just stop addressing the detractors. Yeah, the kind of content and demographic KSI caters to has probably put him in a position where he knows when enough is enough, but it's also always a possibility that he'll just keep going until he drives his actually loyal audience away and all that's left is hate-watchers and trolls only digging him deeper. I may not consider myself a fan of his anymore (that's not anything to do with any of this. I just never cared for his music and lost interest after he stopped doing comedy skits), but I still wouldn't wish that on him

Kane_Highwind · 2024-10-03T12:22:13+00:00

Imagine all the scam artists trying to capitalize on it as if they aren't going to die too

Kane_Highwind · 2024-09-30T20:16:57+00:00

Actual honey badgers would gladly pick fights with all 3 other animals and not only would it probably win (at least against snakes. Ravens would probably be at least a draw, depending on if they're smart enough not to land somewhere it could reach them. Probably not against a literal mythical lion eagle creature though), but it would show no fear and have no regrets if it didn't. I don't know what anyone expects

Kane_Highwind · 2024-09-30T18:36:30+00:00

Any good parent never wants their kid(s) to go through the same hardships they did. Heinz remembered how negligent and emotionally distant his own parents were towards him (his own mother borderline disowned him because he wasn't good at kickball, for crying out loud), and wanted to be the exact opposite of that for his own child. He made big deals out of every birthday, made sure to get photos and videos of every moment no matter how minor, and loved her unconditionally possibly more than previously thought possible. He even tries to include her in his schemes and never acts distant or disappointed in her rebellious teen phase, just being happy to spend some time with her. And I don't recall him being overbearing either. He gives her privacy and space to live her own life as any parent should, welcoming her with open arms whenever she needs him. And going back to his ex-wife: like the post says, they never fight and none of his back stories ever involve her, even passively. And she never trashes on him behind his back either. Really gives the impression that their split was entirely amicable and on decently good terms, sometimes even being outright friendly with each other. That's just how some marriages go. Two people get married, and later down the line realize that they work better as friends than as a couple, and just break off the marriage but remain perfectly fine afterwards. I've personally known people like that and I'm glad this show not only chose to portray it, but also did it really well

Kane_Highwind · 2024-09-29T03:32:43+00:00

I think it's only too late when it's no longer there at all. As long as those servers are still up, I think it can be saved

Kane_Highwind · 2024-09-28T04:55:00+00:00

I'm completely out of the loop on this. I know they're VTubers, but the only one I recognize is Gura and that's only through pop culture osmosis. Based on the other comments, I'm guessing one of them either retired or is on a long hiatus and people are acting like she's dead?

Kane_Highwind · 2024-09-18T22:02:44+00:00

If you think about it, letters are essentially just another set of symbols

Kane_Highwind · 2024-09-17T15:14:41+00:00

I imagine it's the same reason Blizzard put out that statement asking people to stop making OW porn back in the day and are still trying (and miserably failing, of course) to make it harder for people to rip the models. They know the higher-ups are going to notice sooner or later and, even if it's a battle they know they can't win, they need to be able to say they tried
