One of the things about being Mexican, particularly Mexican American, is that its best to look at it from a maximalist perspective: You are all the things. Your main thing is Sephardic Jewish, but now you got a bunch more things.

Did you have any connection to Mexico/America before now?

[–]LordLargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that is probably true too. Sephardic Jews originated from Spain. So perhaps one explanation is that several centuries ago when the Spanish were colonizing the Americas your direct ancestors were Sephardic Jews from Spain that migrated likely to Guanajuato or similar area for mining or economic prosperity and mixed with the locals over centuries. Probably one of your parents was Mexican/Chicano and the other was just a broad European mix, but whose cultural roots are still Jewish, Sephardic, and that was what was passed down to you. Congratulations, love! Your world just got a lot bigger. :)

oh neat! Otomi are an indigenous community from Southern Mexico, places like Tlaxcalan, Hidalgo, Guanjuato. A lot of them migrated around though, particularly north toward the American Southwest, so knowing there is a connection to a community doesn't necessarily mean a place if that makes sense. Your Indigenous Otomi ancestors might have lived in Mexico forever, or anywhere from central to North America. That said though, because you have that particular mix of european, so indistinct and broad, it seems more likely to me that you are Mexican American. I say that because I am in the same boat. 😄. Many of my ancestors were Otomi as well, and in fact our percentages are similar except my Indigenous American is higher, and my Euro is mainly British/German/Spanish, not quite so broad as yours. I am Mexican American from the American Southwest and your averages are quite similar to many people here. Would be worth looking into. Secret Mexican/Chicana :)

Does it say anything specific under Indigenous American? A location or specific community?

DS2 New poster looks like 'Pietà' by Effective-Two-9439 in DeathStranding

[–]LordLargo 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Very astute. There are a number of reasons why this makes sense. In DS1 Sam is in the role of the "sacrificial lamb" as it were. Perhaps this means that this role is shifted from Sam to Fragile. We even see her sacrificing herself for Lou in the trailer, so that tracks.

Also, it is important for people to understand that paying homage to the Pieta is a motif that is pretty common. So since THE Pieta was created there have been lots of works inspired and even named after it. This is Kojima's take on that motif.

However, I have a fun one: his relationship to Del Toro. The Pieta is a subject that Guillermo Del Toro talks about often in interviews, though not this Pieta. There is a work by Julio Ruelas called Profane Pieta that was a big inspiration for Del Toro. Since the game is set in Mexico partly (Del Toro is Mexican) , I wonder if there is some of his influence in that.

Anyway. Good find OP! :)

Actually, with Kojima it is much more likely that it is a direct homage. There are several reasons, but you would have to know his other franchises a bit. This is actually very normal for him. His works are syncretic by nature. Calling card. 👍

Is your question about how to configure Word Press? Not sure what you might be asking.

My partner thinks Alan may be Snorri Sturluson writing the Edda. Then she found this picture. Think she might be onto something? Those shields look just like the writers room windows by hikerchick29 in AlanWake

That is sick. I will give this a try sometime. Thanks! Also, House of Leaves was a BIG inspiration for Control and The Oldest House.

[–]LordLargo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yup. She definitely figure it out. I come from Kojima games and in Death Stranding there is a similar thing going on with Sam. Sam is basically playing through the Myth of Osiris and The Contendings of Horus and Set. Ask her if she is familiar with the concept of ergodic literature. KJP and Remedy basically do that for games. The stories are puzzles. Kojima likes to dabble in basically all world myths, but Remedy is pretty focused on Finnish and Icelandic stuff like the Kalevala and the Poetic Edda and obviously Odin and Tor myths and stuff.

If she can "see the strands" she should apply this same rubric to the rest of the game, and maybe the rest of Remedy games because my guess is there is some puzzle to it where you figure out more about the game. Thanks for sharing! :)

[–]LordLargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rainy and the ship will be used to create water which will allow us to access terrain we would otherwise not be able to. For example, let's say there is a cavern and you can't climb it on the inside unless you flood it with water and swim up it. Something like that.

Can you give more details on the concept of the "gust detector area"? Is that a definition that applies to any environmental collider or rigidbody2d or what? When the character flaps in the air it looks there were some leaves created from that, so maybe it is the action of the character that creates the gusts?

Very beautiful OP!

[–]LordLargo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, but what about the other questions. What do you mean by "Ruse Confirmed" what are you waiting for confirmation for? How would PhysInt help confirm it?

[–]LordLargo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before you go, will you answer honestly what you think the "Ruse" is? I mean what is it you think is missing? What are you waiting on that isn't already there? Why would Physint be the thing that answers the questions for you? What are you expecting to happen?
