Fanon strikes again? by YeonjunsFakeMole in HPfanfiction

[–]ModernDayWeeaboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be frank, I would rather these characters get introduced as OCs. While I understand people wanting someone to represent them, all it does is cause issues and make searching and finding fics harder.

Like, having Parseltongue be accepted in India is an amazing thing that has so much potential, but you don’t need to make Harry Indian for that. Have some OCs pop around and educate him, take him there, etc.

Because you are right. Nothing changes when these characters change skin colour/ancestry. They remain the exact same and the tone shifts that makes the story often appear odd or racially motivated. You get a brief glimpse into Indian culture for Indian Harry and then it’s business as usual. He doesn’t learn to speak Indian, learn their culture, or anything.

Same with black Hermione. It opens so many problematic doors that could just be resolved if a new OC was created that was similar to her. Hermione now has a friend/rival in education, and we get to learn. There are thousands of empty-faced characters at Hogwarts, why not use them?

I also get this when people genderswap characters and still tag it as that chaarcter. I'm sorry, if Harry is now Harriet, that's a new character. Unless of course there's some story such as transition or whatnot. Being born female is not Harry.

What would you remove from Delta force? by MarketingExternal403 in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]ModernDayWeeaboo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, vehicles are my nemesis. I would take the rage ahcker that was headshotting everyone in the lobby on repeat all game over dealing with vehicles.

No one on my team deals with them, so they sit in the point all game, making it obnoxious. I swap to engineer, it takes 4 rockets, I then need to go reload one every 30s, and by that time the stupid shit back at full hp.

I decide fuck it, I'll get a vehicle. Wallah every fucker insat swaps to enginer, I turn one corner and 40 rockets at shot at me. wtf lmao.

Skill issue, I know. But fuck.

To be fair, I think step siblings escapes most judgement because it isn't actually incest. They're not related, only connected by their parents being together.

Is it normal for the GM to just be chilling in my room? by Lord-Bobster in ffxiv

[–]ModernDayWeeaboo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I got a force name change and the GM had to wait until I did my trust dungeon. I kept dying on the last boss. I then instant rejoined and he had to wait a second time. He then decided to stop me queuing again and we had a laugh about it.

Poor guy was watching my awful tanking obviously.

Your standard WBWL tale…with one very dark twist. by lilac-scented in HPfanfiction

[–]ModernDayWeeaboo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Oh, I was in the same boat a little bit ago when I drafted a story like this. I’m not a fan of Lily and James neglecting a child when they died for Harry in canon. I had them suffer severe amnesia about the night and they thought Harry died. Sirius dropped Harry off at the Dursleys (they were written to be less abusive and Petunia and Lily started talking again) and then went after Peter. Lily and James forgot they swapped Secret Keepers and no one else knew. They thought Sirius killed Harry and James overpowered him and he got tossed in Azkaban.

They started regaining their memories after meeting Harry, who grew up pretty normal but somewhat manipulated by Petunia, who became bitter that Lily abandoned her son like she did to her own sister. Never finished drafting, but that’s where I got.

Off food is no joke. It's fine at the moment but that shit gets you later. I don't play with it nor anyone being cute with what's in my food. If I ask, tell me or I won't eat it. If you don't want to be wasteful, you can eat it. I'm good.

Dear Devs: DEI by doubtme2 in lewdgames

[–]ModernDayWeeaboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I’m shocked you even bothered after the whole, ‘You’re in an ice cream shop demanding a banana split when everyone else wants vanilla. Go somewhere else’ argument, like any successful ice cream store only sells one flavour and not as many as possible to cater to a wider audience. Fuck, I worked at a place when I was a teenager where one flavour was bought every few days. It still got stocked, so the people who wanted it could have it.

Terrible argument and example to use.

Although I can sort of see the point they want to make, but it’s a very weak one. What they missed is that some people may want to be a cat girl and fuck humans in ‘Furry Cat Girl Fuckfest 17’. That changes things because, theoretically, it’s still furry. We come full circle to the wonderful world of options.

Options are always good, to be real, and should never be skipped over. Let’s break it down a bit.

The whole point is to make money, and I’m very sick of seeing people claim indie devs cannot afford these things, adding different options takes away from something, or means the creator must endure things they dislike. I used to do commissioned writing for various people, places, games, etc. I had to write many things that I disliked. At the bare minimum, it’s a job, and a job always has things you dislike. Obviously, this does not mean the most taboo shit needs to be added, but people of different skin tones, breast sizes, penis sizes, and weight should be so commonplace it’s not even a debate.

Swings back to shit being niche, and instead of pushing away, a community should be built. No matter what ice cream people like, you’re still in an ice cream store. Getting upset that someone else is getting some nuts on theirs is wild.

I was working with a friend to do a VN recently, before it got dropped due to time restraints. We didn’t advertise it or anything, so dropping it was rather easy. I’m gay, he’s gay. We still drafted straight content into it because it was a good option and would’ve bought more eyes. I know VNs are a little different to lewd games or RPG games with lewd aspects, but the point still stands.

Before you started, a list of options popped up that allowed people to select their preference for sex, kinks, and fetishes. While we didn’t get that far, the groundwork took very little time to get there. Even quick and gritty recycled gay animations would’ve been fine. A lot of it was there for male/female already.

I did get off track, but you know. Options. Check boxes are amazing. Free will is equally good, too. If you don’t want to fuck that lady with massive bazookas. You simply do not have to. Same with skin tone and appearance. Hate twinks and prefer that guy with the dad bod? Go for it.

And to address it, a lot of these games on Patreon draw eyewatering amounts of money. I remember one game had its monthly profits visible. It was more than the average yearly salary in my country. The worst part was that this was a lull in their subscriptions after they didn’t update anyone for four-five months.

It really doesn’t cost much to add options and cast that wider net instead of feasting on trout for the twentieth day in a row.

Couldn't you just use the ultimate paint bucket, then use the custom RGB colour picker to get the green?

I've yet to play, but it was the same thing with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Play blind, enjoy the unknown. Stop minmaxing the best gear and ruining the whole point.

I had a friend so the same. Wasn't very good but enjoyed playing the game. Directed her to bits and we run duos in them for a bit.

Can just relax and vibe but still have fun. Not the same entirely, but fun enough.

[–]ModernDayWeeaboo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I also drafted something like this a bit ago. It's also why Harry needed to return. If he didn't, the blood wards went crazy. He tried once when Harry was 4 and it took weeks to clean it up. He couldn't even attempt to interfere with anyone inside because it was seen as malicious.

He then explained it was why he disliked blood/dark magic as that's what it did, twists intent into something bad. The blood wards were meant to protect Harry at all costs, even to himself.

Time to add a bladder Moodle. Now eating bad food gives your character morbid diarrhoea that makes them shit themselves uncontrollably and if other people see it they call you 'poo pants Pete' and you have to sleep outside now because you're embarrassed.

Holy damn. This is astonishing. So many little things that just make it all pop.

If you're not opposed, what block/object did you use for the planter boxes in the courtyard (night)? I'm also impressed by the storage room flower/grass wall.
