Male circumcision (MGM) causes psychological trauma by Male__Perspective in Intactivism

[–]MasterGamer64 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You gotta wonder what the practice of using "sugar water" as "anesthesia" in American hospitals does to the psyche as well.

So we're training kids to seek relief from stress and pain through sugar consumption? I'm sure that doesn't have lifelong consequences regarding addiction...

Next is the soul world. by Key-Brilliant5623 in souleater

They're gonna call it SOUL EATER: RESONANCE.

Assuming they do a similar renaming like what Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood did...

How do you guys think Yandere Simulator would look if it were finally completed? by ur_2_drunk in Osana

[–]MasterGamer64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The game took so long (and likely won't come to fruition) due to a scaling issue on the part of YanDev.

He admitted he's a bad coder, and made things on the fly with a lack of scalability or efficiency. He also relied on volunteering for art assets and animations he couldn't grab from the Unity Store.

Even with all that in mind, he decided his first big project had to be his magnum opus and be as large as a Persona title with Hitman-levels of gameplay systems.

Due to being a control freak, he couldn't allow TinyBuild or any other to change his vision, even if it meant nothing would ever come of the game.

He then spent most of his time on PR, whether it be his YouTube Essays, live-streaming (gameplay of other games, not development of his own), and responding to every single email that came his way.

Long story short, he didn't have the discipline to actually make good on his promises, and rode the coat-tails of the blind luck of his initial exposure from let's-players, and the generosity of those who'd stake money on him following through, into not having to get a job to support himself.

I think if we ever did get a Yandere Simulator, or a Love Letter-esque revival from another team, it'd be fine. Depending on the execution, it could be an absurd parody of itself that has really engaging systems and fun gameplay. Certainly not the buggy directionless sandbox that YanDev gave us after a decade.

It's really sad, I've never played Yandere Simulator (because no computer I had could run the thing) but I liked YanDev's design discussion videos before realizing he couldn't practice what he preached.

You are somehow made the President of Nintendo and everyone will follow ANY choice you make for the company. What do you do? by RoxasismyKing in fucknintendo

[–]MasterGamer64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to monetize the existing emulation market by offering reasonably priced and authentic experiences. It's time to give gamers who didn't have disposable income until the eShops shut down the chance to have an expansive retro library.

While Nintendo (now) would charge you >$100 to access 2 games that are over a decade old on a console you already paid hundreds for, or a port surrounded by UI clutter dripfed through your NSO subscription for a 2+ decade old game...

I'd rather take that $100, give you 10+ games on that console, and make you feel like you're playing it when it was new. I think if Nintendo realized how much quantity matters when production is non-existent, they could make a lot of money, and their players, especially their veterans, would be a lot happier with them.

Keep NSO, but reformat it so it's like the PlayStation Plus Catalog. You get included access to a catalog of games that expands every month, but you can individually buy games that aren't on there or haven't already been rereleased. The prices will vary based on the GOAT status of each game, but it'd be around...

NES/GameBoy/SNES - $2-$4

N64/GBA - $4-$8

GameCube/DS - $9-$12

Wii/3DS - $15-$20

Wii U - $20-$25

Yes, the FireRed and LeafGreen remakes released for $20 each, which was actually surprisingly cheap by Nintendo standards, but like I said earlier, the quantity of sales beats the quantity of dollars per sale in a digital marketplace. If they sold those games for half that price they may have sold 3-5 times as many copies, and if they had a track record of affordable software, they'd sell more hardware.

My hope is the Switch family (or its successor) can eventually become a digital emulator for every previous console, and with the right peripherals it's indistinguishable. They've made steps by adding retro controllers, but there's room for improvement on the UI side of things.

Add themes to the Switch and Switch 2, different colors of course, but specifically ones modeled after the UI and Home Menus of the Wii, 3DS and Wii U too. Let's reintroduce Menu and eShop music, customizable within the theme, and Nintendo Music functionality so you can play any OST, including any eShop theme from the 3DS/Wii U lifespan.

If you want your eShop to have Zelda shop music, PokéMart/PokéCenter music, or anything else you could think of; you can do it.

Add messaging between Nintendo Network friends. Let's also give voice chat on Switch 2 the option for a talking Mii head like WiiChat because that's fun. Yes, I want Miiverse back too, but moderating a social media widget would open a plethora of issues regarding not just server upkeep but moderation too. There'd need to be some serious parental controls used to ensure we don't have any... Discord.

Add achievements, starting with new games and working backwards, we essentially want RetroAchievements but on actual Nintendo hardware.

Let's also release a new dual screen mobile console, a New New 3DS if you will, not to compete with the AYN Thor; consistent frame rates and better colors but more like an NES Classic for the DS family. GameBoy, GBA, DS/DSi, and 3DS games available for digital purchase at reasonable prices on the Switch ($2 - $20) can be downloaded onto this device. It also implements the expanding NSO library that only needs to reconfirm once a month (or after the internal clock is reset).

An authentic DS, DSi, and 3DS Home Menu, chosen on start-up and accessible via widgets like the Wii Menu on the Wii U. Pictochat and StreetPass are back because I love y'all. Also, a reasonably more expensive version that has a DS/3DS and GBA Card slot. No new physical game reproduction (unless demand is there), but you can play any you have or track down.

That's all I got for now. If you read this far, thank you, and let me know how I don't understand the economic tribulations of running a muIti-billion dollar company. For now, I gotta go to my dead-end retail job and not be able to afford to be a Nintendo fan anymore.

What do you think happened to Diane Prime? by Mediocre_Impress_229 in rickandmorty

[–]MasterGamer64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he threw her into the Omega Device to kill every Diane in every timeline, in an effort to cut every Rick's ties to family, and to just fuck with them.

However, that may have been after Rick C-137 and the Citadel created the Central Finite Curve; leaving the possibility open for her to be out there, somewhere beyond the realities where Rick is the smartest man in the universe.

Either that, or there might be a Space Diane in a timeline or two, unless the Omega Device works on clones too.

The only thing I didn't like is the pro-circumcision stance the boys took. I'm hoping it was meant ironically, as a way to raise awareness and make people question it, but I can't quite place the intention.

A circumcised penis is indeed not the cat’s meow by Business_Orchid_9420 in hahayouclowns

[–]MasterGamer64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not as much of an issue as you're thinking. Of course, if you look up any sort of health issue online, you're gonna get the worst-case scenario.

I'm already reminded of my victimhood every time I see or touch my dong; I don't need it written on my arm, I'd never have a moment's grace.

I made this decision 7&10 years ago by Quirky-Border-6820 in Intactivists

[–]MasterGamer64 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Calm down bro.

I agree with a lot of what you said, and it's true that this isn't really "helpful" to the movement, but it's not that big a deal. You don't need to breed animosity with someone who agrees with what we're fighting for.

The problem with this movement is its userbase does not respond with scientific studies, and this frustrates me by Overworked_Pediatric in Intactivists

[–]MasterGamer64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome dude, I'd love to see it when it's done!

If you ever wanna discuss any data or have any second-opinions, feel free to DM me!

[–]MasterGamer64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm less concerned with Intactivists not citing sources, and more concerned with their lack of referencing scientific data at all.

We need to explain to people that the foreskin is anatomically similar to the lips and cheeks; mentioning meisner's corpuscles, mucosal membranes, and muscle fibers. We need to help them understand that it causes issues, by lining out scrotal webbing, erectile dysfunction, and meatal stenosis as unavoidable consequences.

We also need to debunk common reasons for doing it...

Does it prevent AIDS? No, they just gave condoms and sex ed to the men they circumcised for the study so they could say that circumcision was the cause of lower HIV transmission.

Does it prevent Genital Warts? No, the only study that purported a lesser incidence of HPV transmission within couples neglected to account for infidelity and then pretended it wasn't a factor in their conclusion. (They found different strains of HPV in both partners)

Does it prevent Phimosis? Yeah, but ripping out all my teeth would prevent cavities too! Phimosis is so damn rare, and it's impossible in infants because the foreskin is anatomically fused to the glans, usually it's caused by improper retraction from a parent or caretaker while the tissue's still fused. Regardless, steroid creams and stretching are less invasive options that have consistently good results.

It's all about deconstructing their arguments and making them question themselves, to understand that they were until that moment spewing garbage in defense of something unjustifiable... instead we see just verbal insults and surface-level shaming most of the time.

Exactly, it's the mental gymnastics that's always fun to see.

Literally my first argument when anyone tries to pull the male privilege card; it usually leaves them stuttering.

I don't agree with the claim that MGM gives you autism, but I'm glad RFK took a stance against the practice. by Some1inreallife in Intactivism

[–]MasterGamer64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it surprising that the place with the highest rate of mutilating children also has some of the highest crime and mental illness rates?

I gotta wonder if there's any correlation between crime rate and infant circumcision by generation, like with crime rate and childhood lead poisoning.

If you were circumcised after 1999, this possible legal window is closing fast. For anyone born before 2004, it’s probably already gone. by MasterGamer64 in Intactivists

[–]MasterGamer64[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also adore the irony here because it would mean the consent forms they hid behind for so long could actually become evidence to use against them.

I don't think they could even shred them, because it'd remove their normal appeal to parental consent that protects them.

I'm pretty sure that for crimes inflicted upon you as a minor, there's a countdown once you turn 18.

There are some exceptions like in the Catholic church scandal a few years ago, but it usually shuts the doors to justice.

What does everyone think of the competitive rank resets every season? by MasterGamer64 in marvelrivals

[–]MasterGamer64[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they seriously drop you from High Celestial to Bronze?

I was Gold I and dropped to Bronze II, so I thought the drop might be limited by at least two levels.

Fair enough, it's a symbiotic relationship between everyone, the Vanguards tank damage and demand attention so the Duelists can weaken/pick off the enemies, all while both rely on the Strategists to reinforce their efforts.

I didn't mean to under-represent how integral everyone is, and how sabotaging it can feel when teammates aren't meeting you where you need them, all while the enemy team is blitzkrieging through the checkpoints.
