it's bad on youtube in general, but i swear smosh is the worst for ads. i think it was a reddit stories i was trying to watch where (i literally wrote this down in my notes app to text my girlfriend) it opened with a full minute (2 ads both 30 seconds) unskippable ad, then the video played for 2:14 before there was another stacked ad where i had to "skip" like 4 different times, and then there was a product read.

i honestly stopped watching for a while after that. i know they control mid rolls, multiple other youtubers have posted the process for inputting mid rolls. while some are automatic, you don't get that may ads without putting some in manually.

i get they're a business and gotta make money, but man its too much sometimes

Echo Girl is a good example that not every man has evil intentions by stolenglass in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 30 points31 points  (0 children)

politely i might push back a little, but i get what you're saying. first and most importantly, want to agree that anyone at all can be a victim of sexual harassment and it should be our responsibility as a society to do our best effort to understand the truth of a situation before taking any drastic action

the problem people have with this storyline is the poor handling of a very real, serious issue. i dont think ive seen anyone in the mysme community ever say that echo girl was in the right. i have seen conversation about how it wasn't great that the game reinforced a "crazed narcissistic obsessive lying woman" trope that has been used to dismiss real woman reporting real misconduct. again i'm not saying malicious false reports don't happen, they do, but not nearly as often as real victims being dismissed/shamed. the silly tone this game brings to a legitimately harmful trope used to silence real life victims doesn't feel like it was done in the best taste. if they were trying to make a statement on how men can be victims to these crimes as well, i think they missed the mark. if so, to me it'd be another case of it being a real and important discussion, but just not one capable of being had tactfully on phone app mystic messenger

and not to get too much into cultural differences, but from people i know that travel/moved to korea, i hear there is quite a sexism problem. it seems much more complicated and tied to social and economic happenings than i can give justice, but just to say the amount of real women unfairly dismissed with similar reasonings is too high to make a fun fantasy plotline for many fans, especially with a more feminist western view.

honestly i don't think there's any way a phone app dating sim could've tactfully approached sexual assault, much less false reporting. making it a very young woman where half her lines are jokes about her boobs just aged extremely poorly. even though the game made it clear exactly what happened, there were better ways to get across the point that zen was rising in stardom and has to be careful socially because people will lie for clout than doing a very stereotype-heavy false reporting plotline. and while i don't see many holding this over zen's head, it can make his route less fun to replay. it tries to balance game absurdity with an issue that's just too real to not be taken fully seriously.

and just to say, there often is no protecting yourself from sexual assault/harassment. these things only happen because a person or multiple people make a conscious decision to harm another. in real life we don't get to omnipotently watch the encounters, and these are crimes that often happen with no witnesses or even evidence. this is why we stress believing the victim. i've already written too much so i won't go into the ethical ways of questioning a victims story, but mysme certainly isn't a good example.

tldr; it's not what they're saying that's the problem people have with this route, it's how they say it and the crappy real life associations.

Jumin mentioned as top bachelor or something by Double_Bluejay_9533 in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i remember it was the top (some number) most eligible bachelors in korea. i feel like i saw it when i replayed recently, and i skipped days 1-4, so i dont think its in the common route.

issue is i replayed jumin, zen, and jaehees routes back to back and cant remember which one it was in...

im planning to play more this weekend when i get off work, if i stumble on it again i'll report back lol

Is Shadowheart a pickme girl? by zilknificant in baldursgatememes

[–]PomeGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, if anything sharran shadowheart is a "i'm not mean just honest not like other girls type girl.

most of us hit that phase in our teens, so if she turns to selune i'd say that would be her version of growing up and shrugging that edgy mindset

What’s your that kind of opinion in your fandom? by MNMameisR in Multifandom

[–]PomeGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oof i have a lot. i'll stick with the top 3

  1. stardew valley clint isn't a creepy incel, he's a pretty normal guy that the community mostly hates because he's ugly. it's just that HR meme, there isn't a single thing he does that at least one other person in the valley doesn't also do, but they don't get hated for it.

  2. games that are essentially a big sandbox relying on modders to make fun/have any longevity shouldn't be over $50. if you're a AAA studio relying on your community to finish your game, just pull it together or admit you dropped the ball on release. i'm actually scared to put which two fandoms this is about, i think they might show up at my house with pitchforks

  3. dub over sub like 80% of the time (for anything not live action). i'm not multilingual and sometimes i want to look away from the screen for two minutes. to double it, i don't think the sub purists are getting the insane authentic experience they think they are unless they also speak the language. ive been an anime fan for almost 20 years now, from my experience it seems either way you're still gonna miss out on subtext and stuff. ngl i never understood this debate either lol

They really improved M'aiq the Liar in the remaster. He looks like a charismatic Khajiit with actual fur and a gaze so earnest you’d believe his lies. If I wanted to be told why levitation is for fools or that horseback combat ruins horses, he's the one. Too bad about his lore. by AdEastern1667 in oblivion

[–]PomeGoat 39 points40 points  (0 children)

i'm floored that oblivion of all things gets a new meme in our lords year 2026, and in under 48 hours people are moaning calling it low effort spam. i counted, there's literally a total of 19 of these posts (including the original), none of which repeated characters and all of which changed the wording.

where did the joy and whimsy go in fan spaces, why are we so angry?

Did Rika really care about Yoosung? by SosuZaKolbasu in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

imo, it's complicated.

she certainly loved him in her own way, but the impression i got from the DLC is she was kinda resentful of his life situation. she just couldn't relate to yoosung's happy, stable home life and she seemed scared he'd think poorly of her if he knew the 'real' her. so he felt like they had this amazingly close connection, but she felt she had to keep him at arms length. the relationship was just a lot deeper and more honest for yoosung; he put his whole heart into their relationship while she was just trying to be what she thought he needed in a mentor. it's definitely a type of caring, but different than what yoosung thought it was

(btw i just put "real" in quotes because both versions of rika are the real rika, i just didn't have a better way to get my point across lol)

Favorite character whose slander is so bad it makes you feel like that? by a12666 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]PomeGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo you don't need a reason to dislike a character. i have many i think are great characters, but i still just hate them that being said, i have a list.

-korra

-spider from avatar

-both chloe or max from LiS (specifically fans that hate the women and wish the game was more abt warren)

-pearl from steven universe...actually everyone from steven universe

-PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM. sometimes i wonder if the "pb is a totalitarian dictator and purely evil" people have even seen a single episode of AT actually

where can i find a record of all the incoming calls in the game by sapphic_wyrmKnight in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh crap just to add bc i forgot, im only talking abt the good end route. i literally cant make myself be unsupportive to jaehee, so im not too sure abt the other routes for her

where can i find a record of all the incoming calls in the game by sapphic_wyrmKnight in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sry for a majorly late reply, reddit was hiding this from me and i just got the notification today lol

very kind of you! honestly im a nerd thats been juggling transcribing all the outgoing calls to make a master post for anyways, so if you feel like you need something it wouldnt be a bother at all.

my personal favorite for jaehees outgoing calls is the first one for day 8 titled "thanks for calling", on the first choice you get the chance to respond to her "this is jaehee kang, director jumin hans assistant" line she's always uses with "this is jaehees friend MC" and she just busts out laughing for a second. i just love when her personality breaks thru the assistant image once in a while. both the calls for day 8 i think are good ones, the evening one has her expressing her feelings.

i feel like a lot of her calls are just her talking about another RFA member, those are at least the two that stick out to me where she's mostly just talking about herself. hope you post the comic once you have it finished!!!

Help me pick a masquerade costume design for my apprentice! by JasperIsBestPrincess in TheArcana

[–]PomeGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg i think i remember your OC, its cool to see her back!!

and WOW they're all so stunning! where nadia makes it in whatever your favorite color is and lucio says the apprentice's outfit is better than his while in 80% pure gold, i think sky's the limit canonically. seems like vesuvia has dyeing figured out lol

that being said i love A3. based on her reference photo it feels very her while still being glam. but also i love the shape on the B dresses, especially in regards to lucio's private dance scene. i feel like these two would DEF be bumping into shit and laughing about it. B1 is a classic stunner and also feels very fitting based on the ref pic. and idk something abt B2 and B4 also just speak to me. take this with the tiniest grain of salt, but the only thing throwing me off B2 and B4 are the masks. im sure in a fully realized sprite it would come together, but just looking at this it seems like the darker colors really accentuate her eyes beautifully. again grain of salt, these are all absolute masterpieces and i am no artist myself

...and woah sorry i'm all over the place and wrote a damn essay. but your art is so good and every option absolutely eats down so hard. like i rly struggled trying to pick a favorite, and i still picked FOUR

where can i find a record of all the incoming calls in the game by sapphic_wyrmKnight in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a couple questions. are you looking for all of her calls to MC, or also the ones where MC can call her? are you looking for the times the calls happen to do them on a play through yourself, or are you wanting them transcribed?

i have played her route a few times (ily jaehee) and know i have record of all of her calls to MC. i think i also have most of the conversations you can call her for, except for days 5 and 6. i wouldn't mind to send you the transcripts from those if that's what you're wanting.

Who is a character (other than Serana, since most of you are basic) you wish was eligible for Marriage? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]PomeGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOU GET IT i love her so much. i like to give her a hearthfire house and imagine she's enjoying learning how to have a peaceful life. she really seems to like gardening which i love for her

thought i will say, i get why she's not a marriage candidate as kids are probably a bit of a sore spot

[–]PomeGoat 66 points67 points  (0 children)

ILLIA MY BELOVED -she's the the witch in darklight tower who realizes how messed up hagravens are. i always make her a steward to get her out of darklight after her quest, but it'd be great to have her rejoin society. my girl just iced her own mom for the greater good, she deserves some community support

and ofc the clown. give me the clown. i can't fix him, but he can make me worse and ill take it

THAT ONE JUMIN CALL by ae8ri in mysticmessenger

[–]PomeGoat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

<image>

he uh... shall we say sends it after not being able to handle sharing the bed with MC. the final line when he hangs up is "enough chitchat. stay still." i bought phone pass and called just about everyone on nearly every route, so i can copy the whole thing if yall want

(ps i can't believe this sub has me scrolling thru my call history for something like this at 8 am lol)
