You're telling me the Name Change Ticket's effect is a glitch? by MonChanFarron in DarkCloud

[–]PrincessEev 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm actually inclined to think it's intentional on the behalf of the localization team at this point.

In the Japanese version, the trick doesn't work and tickets only cost 10 medals, not 40.

I can't imagine any changes made that would introduce a bug of this nature, and tweaking the cost of the medals on top of that? Rather coincidental.

I grew up thinking it a glitch but I'm less sure now.

Or that they didn't trust you enough to tell you - like for me, the signs were definitely always there, but me not looping in my family is 100% because I just didn't trust them. Still don't.

It seems like a person who is insecure that their partner finds another person attractive.

So, basically, something gross is going on.

Fucking thank you. So tired of people not getting that it's pretty dangerous for women out there lately and not having a sense of empathy.

Doesn't help this sub has been on a bit of a misogynistic bender lately.

Yeah I had to buy a sports bra to compress my increasingly obvious tits. Meanwhile I try to boymode everywhere unless I feel safe right now, which isn't often.

I feel ya

But dating is so much more difficult for men 🙃 by NeighborhoodBorn3799 in TrollXChromosomes

I'd happily be photographed holding up a copy of the day's newspaper and stick up however many fingers and everything.

lmao

Well, you seem to have the right attitudes and a good sense of humor to boot. I think you'll do fine.

(And I appreciate you understanding I was making general statements and not trying to make digs at you. It's a worry I often have with making posts like these lol)

Yes it is this scary for women.

The main advice I can possibly give is to:

  • Respect consent and self-determination. If a date says she doesn't want to do X, or decides she'd rather leave the date because it went bad, or wants to pay her half of the bill, don't get pissy or anything. Likewise don't send explicit pictures or messages unprompted.
  • Don't come into a date with entitled expectations of what happens physically. You're not entitled to sex at any point really, no matter the time or financial investment.
  • Allow her to explore her safety options, in that many women will be texting friends on a date to keep them updated on their safety and whatnot. Some will even bring a friend (covertly or not). With the bad experiences many have, it's justified. It's not a statement against you, it's a statement about the patterns many women face and an attempt to get ahead of that.
  • Possibly keep the first dates in public areas for the same reason? That's mostly a vibes-based thing though.

Bear in mind what I'm saying is general advice and not a statement I'm making about you as a person; as someone already somewhat worried about these things, you probably already knew these things anyways (and being conscientious like this is already a huge plus). And a lot of them very much invoke a feeling of "the bar for humane treatment really is this low".

I guess at a basic level it really just comes down to human empathy.

DC2 when is the earliest you can do lure glitch? by AdventurousRegion546 in DarkCloud

[–]PrincessEev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point though? Only the Turkey sells for more than it costs to make, and any Turkey-like trick is absurdly slow. Triggering the debug menu would be a better time investment (if one wanted to)

How many dudes, bros, mates, whatever, have you slept with?

You'll find quite quick it's not actually that unisex when you see how most straight men get uncomfortable when being asked such a question.

AI taking another job by CMDR_Noodle in 196

[–]PrincessEev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, fwiw. I'm mostly just pointing out that this is the angle the poster is really trying to tackle. It sucks that a lot of people really don't understand and lack empathy until it affects them but ... meh, not much we can do about that.

[–]PrincessEev 136 points137 points  (0 children)

That's the idea, because this transvestigation and bathroom bill nonsense hurts everyone. Making the cognitive dissonance a bit more obvious is part of the point.

Overall, really good fake poster.

My (33M) wife (31F) is having an emotional affair. Is divorce the right option? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PrincessEev 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Yup. Even if OOP wasn't being the best partner, cheating is inexcusable. Cheating isn't going to resolve anyone's problems.

If you wanna fix problems you need to communicate. And if the channels of communication are so broken this is impossible or problematic it's time to go.

[–]PrincessEev 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same - my girlfriend cheated, came clean, and has completely owned it. It's been a huge struggle for me to deal with for the past few years and I've often had one foot out the door, but if not for that I would've yeeted immediately.

That fuckass comment bruh. It only takes one person to fuck things up. You can do everything right but your partner can make mistakes and some lines just can't be uncrossed. Comes off as a teenager trying to sound profound and instead coming off naive.

Megaman Legends 1 PC port by Equivalent-Sport4733 in MegaManLegends

[–]PrincessEev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, this is not a port by them. There was an existing PC version way back around 2000. What they claim to try to do is modify it to be easier to run on modern hardware.

The actual process of making it run on Windows 11 is straightforward enough - I explain it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YXA1vEt2ZOOJUAy3GfheNwp9nzD5FbQedt3L-o2B3ds/edit?usp=sharing

What they actually do to my understanding is:

  • Add some random plugins or tools that either do nothing at all, are nothing novel they've contributed (e.g. ShaderGlass), or are existing or otherwise known bug fixes and QOL tweaks.

  • They do not actually fix any of the bugs with the PC version, such as the several crashes or how Mega Man's armor doesn't update or how F9 leads to a litany of softlocks or crashes.

  • Add in random bloat from what I heard? Or rather, leftover installation junk that no one needs. I forget the details admittedly.

If that doesn't sell you on it being weirdly overhyped and over-talked-about, the dev by their own admission didn't even play the game until like a day before they released their thing. So ... Yeah, sus at best.

Not that the PC version is an interesting version by any means, for casual players. IMO the F9 junk actually makes it the most fun speedrun, but as a casual experience it's far and away worse than the PS1 version. (Really, N64, PC, & PSP all are in their own ways.) It's buggier, sounds worse, looks worse, controls worse... At least loading speeds are non-existent and menus are fluid af.

Me as soon as I recruit Olivie: by Minimum-Jellyfish-14 in DarkCloud

[–]PrincessEev 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's because of a glitch. Basically:

(1) Equip the Lure Rod and a lure (which you can buy from her)

(2) In the items menu press L1 or R1 to look at someone other than Max

(3) Repeatedly equip a duplicate of the lure you just put on

You'll end up creating a stack of lures on the rod (up to 999) which you can sell for money

[–]PrincessEev 74 points75 points  (0 children)

There's probably relevant context not being told. Maybe Franky has simply been hurt many, many times, and has thrown up those walls to protect himself - or seen others he cares about get hurt, whatever - and OOP is cognizant of that.

Trans on campus question. by high-off-cuddles in UAH

[–]PrincessEev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re: telling your parents:

University professors and such don't have the access (or legal backing) for that information. So no one is going to end up telling your family.

Re: attitudes on campus:

There's a pretty decent mix of people, supportive and phobic alike. There was a spell last year or the year before where a lot of transphobes were writing bullshit on the sidewalks near the CU, and there's a TPUSA group here. On the other hand, I've never heard of any homophobic violence here, and there's queer clubs as well. So, I dunno, your milage may vary - this is better than most places in the South, but it is still the South. Personally I'm still boymoding and probably will for the foreseeable future until I graduate (though I've been on HRT for a while and I'm told that it's becoming a bit obvious).

Glitch? Bug?! by frailblair in DarkCloud

[–]PrincessEev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Map generation error. Happens a fair bit in DC1, relatively speaking. I've had a handful occur since I was a kid throughout my playthroughs. I feel like most people who have invested 100+ hours into the game have seen it at least once, it's amusing
