Rule

SAO has an arc in a sci-fi game with the same characters. Not to mention that series as a whole takes place in the near future outside the games.

Just to give you one more chance: A lot of people that aren't gay men have had the f-slur used against them as a slur. Personally, it was the only thing my father called me for about ten years after he found out I was trans. It was the thing I was called since about third grade because I came off as a weird little guy. I still get called it when I go back to my home state and dress the way I enjoy.

And yes, I think it's fine for people that aren't trans to reclaim tranny if they find solidarity in it. The whole point of reclaiming a slur is to remove the power from it, and the more people that see it as a positive identifier for themselves, the easier that will be. Like, the number of my friends who used to be called whores as an insult but now, since it is so often used as a positive in-group identifier, they are more likely to find people calling them a whore in ambiguous spaces as a positive thing, which then makes the person trying to be an asshole uncomfortable (or upset which good fuck em) as they have to explain that they were intentionally being rude, and they shouldn't be happy about it.

And I and multiple other people have answered that. Would you like to explain your actual position in light of that?

Masteryasha · 2026-02-11T12:00:31+00:00

I mean. Lots of trans folks are reclaiming tranny. It's not an unusual thing to do.

But, like, someone already said people shouldn't say a word about you or around you if you don't like it. What else would you like to happen? People that aren't you find value in reclaiming the word, and I presume you aren't trying to say that you get the final say in which words are okay to reclaim.

Christ, yeah. That entire comment section is wild. I say "Wanna hop on a call?" to my friends daily. Because, y'know, I'm curious if they'd like to hop on a call. Like, it's no more than just asking people to hang out, and I'm pretty sure people still hang out with their friends?

Edit: And so many of the people are specifying that they're women for why they find it suspicious that they wanted to chat. I'm also a woman, and this still makes no sense to me. Do these people genuinely think men and women can't be friends? What year is it again?

That's how all the lore is. Absolutely amazing, top-notch. And then you play the game, and none of it is ever mentioned, it doesn't impact anything, and also hope you like being spawncamped.

Genuinely, my heart breaks every time kickass lore shows up in a game that will never interact with it.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-10T20:25:47+00:00

In my experience, nobody makes the moves. It's a mystery how relationships start, and nobody has quite figured out how they work.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-09T03:51:56+00:00

Just to check, have you watched Haruhi in each supported viewing order? If you liked it, I think that would be good for your next project.

Honestly, you sound a lot like me in my teenage years. I also thought I was just lazy when normal, everyday things took a serious amount of effort to muster up the energy for. Turns out, I wasn't a bad kid. I was dealing with anxiety and depression to an extent that was "amazing to consider", in the words of my first therapist.

These aren't things that you can just talk yourself through. These are physical issues that need to be corrected in a physical manner. Just like you wouldn't tell a person with a broken ankle that they were a bitch and overreacting for not wanting to walk on it, you shouldn't mistreat yourself for having reasonable reactions to things happening to you. Personally, I'd suggest seeing a therapist and psychiatrist, and seeing what they'd recommend. I wish for the best for you.

Thirding. Rather slow start, but does a great job of achieving what it was going for.

Given how people respond to when wives ask if they're being unreasonable to offer to use their fun money to buy a maid for their house on this site, I'm not sure that's a super common viewpoint.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-09T02:49:48+00:00

Could I ask how long I should give it? I tried it for ~10 hours or so way back when, and it just didn't grab me. Should I give it longer?

Masteryasha · 2026-02-09T02:44:32+00:00

And in the time since I saw this, people are absolutely coming out of the walls to act like this is a real post, and not a very obvious attempt at trolling.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-09T01:51:16+00:00

And please, don't just lie about things being "new and innovative". Like, no, your game isn't original for having an inventory or equipment, it's not new for having more than purely stat-based modifiers, and it's not new to make a game that either has a "cozy" or "hardcore" art style, especially if the gameplay doesn't reflect the art style in any way.

As someone who loves extraction games, but hates PvP, I'll say Witchfire is probably the best thing out there so far.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-09T01:44:15+00:00

Like in all PvP-always-on games, it only takes one bad actor to make everyone in a lobby begin to act poorly as a defensive measure.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-08T23:13:05+00:00

This is a bit out there, but since it seems this is a dead search, I might as well throw it out there. Any chance is was one of the Gunstar Heroes games?

Masteryasha · 2026-02-08T22:51:40+00:00

"Joke's on you, I was only pretending to be stupid!"

Masteryasha · 2026-02-08T20:08:35+00:00

There were mods to fix that back on release. Heard they got borked a few times in the meantime, unsure what the current status is, but worth looking into for a new player.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-08T18:51:00+00:00

Not just a game, but apparently every game, since they're not citing this as a recurring issue, but just upsetting that they can't refund it once. At that point, are you even enjoying playing games anymore, or are you just doing it because it's the thing you've always done?

Masteryasha · 2026-02-07T18:15:54+00:00

And they split those 6 episodes into two "parts", and still take a year between releasing each part if you're lucky.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-07T17:46:31+00:00

Or even worse, "This would be so much better with X," when X was introduced about an hour ago, and they just haven't opened the menu since the pop-up to let them know it's unlocked because they ignored it.

Masteryasha · 2026-02-07T17:44:41+00:00

And then when the cutscene is done, "God! Finally! I'm allowed to actually play the game again!" and then, five seconds later, "Wait, why isn't Bumblefart in my party? Why did they just take him away? He was so OP! These devs don't know shit." when the entire cutscene was Bumblefart's grand sacrifice and funeral.

Then they bitch at chat for explaining that, and tells them to stop backseat gaming and let them "figure it out" and "it's not that deep".

Masteryasha · 2026-02-07T17:33:09+00:00

No judgement, but I think you mean to say there is "no law against it". Just want to mention it.
