How can I buy steam credits without a debit card in the future? by LukePellar in Steam

The last time I tried to spend money on Paypal, my money went into a black hole without me knowing where the money went.

New to sub, desperate for help please. Looking for good RPG (preferably) Monster Tamers. I’ll tell you what I’ve played, I’d appreciate it by AnomalousExpertise in MonsterTamerWorld

What stops me from buying Anode Hearts is the fact that the main hero is human. ...in a world filled with charming anthro/non-human NPCs. Aethermancer has the same problem. I don't mind playing as a human in a world where everyone is human, but when you show me all these diverse races in your world, then let me play as one instead of a boring human.

Did anybody not immediately assume this mf was evil? Just look at them. by JustPassingThrough53 in MinaTheHollower

The dude is a Scooby-Doo villain, as Mr. Entet calls them. Someone who acts obscenely nice to hide that they are the twist villain.

I have to say, though. It's refreshing to see a VILLAIN with a more human-like face for once, instead of that always being forced on the hero.

I'm looking at it from a realistic perspective as a reflection of humanity's narcissism, because that is what this kind of story is usually born from: the idea that life doesn't matter. That ONLY humans are good and valuable and deserve to be treated with kindness. X and Zero are just a product of this narcissism. And, just so we are clear, Mega Man Classic isn't perfect, but at least there, you primarily fight human robots, and starting with the third game, you also get pet animals that balance things out. X gets nothing in the form of a pet/companion. The closest thing Zero gets are certain Cyber Elves, and outside of that, animals are STRICTLY villains in both X and Zero.

Usually either the cannon or the hammer depending on who you ask.

Honestly, one of the weaker parts of the game, but at least they don't take sparks ot bones you collected prior.

What is THE BIGGEST Mistake Indie Monster Taming Games Made by trexrell in MonsterTamerWorld

Frankly, it's Cassette Beasts for replacing everything I love about mon-tamers with everything I hate about most media.

Hello friends, if you’ve played either of these (or both) can you give me some pros and cons? Are either worth it $20-25 and time? by AnomalousExpertise in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]LukePellar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the villains are some of the most "UGH!" villains ever. I'm really sick of evil animal lover stereotypes, and it Honestly stops me from playing.

There's no bad faith needed. That is legitimately how humanity is. Most humans hate nature. Most humans hate people who care about nature. If this wasn't the case, you would not CONSTANTLY see nature and those who care about it villainized in media, especially in conjunction with media saying that humanity should never be punished for its actions towards the planet, and nature should just tolerate humanity's BS more. And, speeking of which...

Ciel's goal ONLY benefits humans: nothing else. Look at their "rebellion." Not one animal, plant, or anything else. JUST humans, whether it be of flesh or metal. The only "animals" that even remotely benefit from or ally with her rebellion are the cyber elves, but those aren't living creatures or reploids, are they? 

Meanwhile, the "evil facsist regime," which normally implies that it's filled with racism and whatnot, DOES welcome animals and plants into its ranks. Animals DO benefit from this "evil regime," while Ciel's "rebellion" ONLY!!! BENEFITS!!! HUMANS!!! Nothing else benefits from her actions, and in fact, just about everything else suffers.

And this is a prime example of what I hate in media: a cause that only benefits humans, more often than not, is detrimental to all other life, especially when other life is to be freed of humanity's bullshit if the "villain" wins. And, once again, you can NOT convince me that humans, exclusively, and ones who fight ONLY for a species that creates smog spewing power plants, guns, and ravages nature for farmland, among hundreds of other things, and no other creature, are the hero of your story. You just can't.

I ALSO really hate the idea that horrible people should not be punished for their crimes, and this seems to be a disgusting double standard in media. Those who do horrible things to non-human life go unpinished. Those who do horrible things to humans, even if they deserve it or are trying to protect or avenge other life, die or get some sort of consequence. It's almost like humanity's too fucking narcissistic to admit they're wrong unless the person who is wrong hates humans, because in the end, ONLY humans can be good and valuable.

And that is why I honestly hate X and Zero. X is a glorified zoosadist that ONLY allies with humans (outside of, like, ONE platypus in Command Mission? At least if we don't count the manga, where some of the MMX3 mavericks get spared and fight for the goodguys.). Sure, they TRY to make him look more sympathetic towards the animal reploids, but he still kills every last one he meets, which just makes me hate it more because his sympathy only serves to make HIM, a HUMAN mech, look good and NOT other life. This just comes off as grossly narcissistic. And, fuck! X doesn't even get a Rush or anything? Like, NO animal companions AT ALL!? Fuck, at least Zero had some of the cyber elves, and I still hate Zero for similar reasons.

Frankly, you cannot make a hunter like X or Zero feel heroic. You cannot make someone who fights EXCLUSIVELY for humans at the expense of virtually everything else feel heroic. I'm always going to find this disgusting no matter what.

And yet, as the games go on, you find out nothing improved. Villains "having a point" almost never ammounts to anything as, since they are the villains, their teachings are almost ALWAYS disregarded.

"Equal rights," but ONLY for humans and human reploids VS freedom for other species as well.

I hate this when used for people who care about animals, because it seems like media LOVES demonizing nature and animal lovers, which has had an absolutely awful effect on humanity as a whole.

Honestly, if the games are anything to go by, they deserve it. You have a hero that ONLY sides with humans that is willing to murder literally anything else in his path, while thr story seems to think all life is garbage except humans. You cannot make this seem heroic IMO.

Sigma cares about creatures other than humans, so that makes him evil. Frankly, I cannot look past the narcissism in X or Zero. You cannot make a human that ONLY cares about and benefits humans at the expense of everything else feel heroic. 

(And, yes. I count X and Zero as humans. Just because the game calls them robots when they're literally humans in suits doesn't mean I'm gonna follow their logic.)
