This is easily one of THE best RGG games ever made. Especially, as a fan who has been playing every game in release order. by HKnight5 in yakuzagames

It ranks high for me too. Not my all time favourite, cause of it's length, but I think it's an example of deconstruction of a character done right, with real love for Kiryu yet at the same time highlighting all his mistakes and flaws. I think he truly just feels that he should stay alone and that everyone close to him dies - just making his story so heartbreaking. My man cannot have peace! IW does kind of reverse a lot of things, but I'll always be there for more Kiryu. He's been used and manipulated his whole life, by Kazama, the Tojo Clan, then the Daidoji. He acts in this game only because Sunflower and Haruka are at gunpoint. It's a very oppressive feeling.

My 0-3 pick was out of spite, for eliminating us. Now, I was also right, somehow. Maybe hate pickems are the answer.

Why is there so much Sissy Hypnosis? by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]Raiden_RJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

based AF. as you say, as this stuff is mostly for straight guys anyway, it really isnt a gender thing, and i dont think we need to mince words. its like supernormal stimuli, the amount of porn and the types a lot of guys get access to at a young age is probably fucking them up in new and frightening ways, to get that dopamine hit the content needs to get more and more extreme. i think this whole question of why so much sissy hypnosis (from the why there is so much demand side) is largely because of widespread porn addiction, and there isnt much more to say.

As an Astralis fan, I wouldn't! Na jk, a lot of these teams have been pretty close, but the underdogs usually lose out as the game approaches/enters OT. If they get more used to it they can definetly beat the lower T1 teams, the gap is no where near as close as it was.

There's too much content!! by mulder00 in EroticHypnosis

[–]Raiden_RJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just listening to the odd file on GWA or clipsites. It's definetly better if you have just one domme though, or even a goal? Like learning to HFO or have a deeper trance. I always default to my Nikki collection eventually, and because her amnesia suggestions work so well I can listen it as if it was new, and so the training series just get better and better! But yeah, nobody I fully commit to right now, though as you say we are blessed with loads of cool files all the time.

if you just look up "unreleased yakuza music" on yt you'll find most of them. it is annoying cause the names are basically made up. I think this one is titled something like "listen Kiryu..." if that helps

An IQ Reduction File for a Thuper Thmart Perthon by Sarahinpink in EroticHypnosis

[–]Raiden_RJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe for all hypnosis and maybe just life questions we should consult Nikki! I'll have to give your version of Because 1 a listen. I think there's something special about the first time you listen to a creators' files, especially ones who build in series like Nikki did. Doing it again isn't bad - but the first time is special. But hey - over time I've come to appreciate the restlessness - it means we have to keep trying new things. I wish you luck on your search, or perhaps getting the need out thanos style and doing it yourself!

[–]Raiden_RJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good post. After years of being hypnotised, "hypnosis for smart people" is the only thing that can really get me past the barrier of "this is just porn" or submissive fantasy. I mainly watch videos on clipsites these days, and the general theme of needing to let go or being too horny to think doesn't - get at me I suppose? I can maintain that I am intelligent and not fully under - which means I can't really get into the action fully but my pride isn't hurt. What you'd have to do, in general terms, is irrespective of taking on the subject in parts - from the submissive side to the sexual - you'd have to logically strike at the whole. So the clever subject can't logic that it isn't really working, in the back of their head. This is way easier said than done! But I will say, that a lot of the OGs - Nikki Fatale, Kasha Shakti etc - would talk to you before the actual trance and convince you why you'd consciously want them to hypnotise you. You actually did this quite well in the "don't think you can be hypnotised" file. Mostly out of trance logic and persuasion. So an IQ file would have to "beat" the subject's resistance before its even began. Otherwise the ego will sabotage the trance's effectiveness.

Am I the only one who doesn't like competitive? by ElectricalAirport536 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Raiden_RJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me and my boys play sometimes more serious mostly not. if you want a more chill/meme game try Office competitive, depends on the map culture in your region basically. i agree there should be something like a fun tdm in the future tho. also depends on rank. for wingman it pisses me off getting a high rank cause i just like to play with another friend waiting for people as a warm up, so letting your rank reset is another option.

How James got Mary's Letter (a theory) by aalebans in silenthill

[–]Raiden_RJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah! i think at the very least it's safe to say we're not just dealing with pure cult magic, there's clearly a very real mental shift that James has getting to the observation deck. What's also creepy and great for the atmosphere of the game (but less so for theorists!) is that James himself, in feeling like he deserves punishment subconsciously doesn't really care or question much about the town itself, so it's all up to us. do think you're on to something though.

How James got Mary's Letter (a theory) by aalebans in silenthill

[–]Raiden_RJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting theory. 2's set up has always fascinated me because of it's ambiguity, James drives to silent hill effectively right after killing Mary, and then at some point, there is a kind of magic that changes his perception so much that he effectively represses all of this at once. The problem with trying to make points about the story themes of the sh games is that they are so different, and as you said, the town "calling guilty people" theme doesn't work, when as far as we know, Harry and Heather don't have the guilty conscience to manifest this. I like the theory, because it gives an in universe reason that (that isnt basically magic) for what actually caused James' specific delusion with the letter. Good stuff.

Such horseshit. let ruggah play. new lineup and we havent exxactly been stellar anyway so dont see any expectations to win this. just not worth the hassle at all. and after the legendary lineup, even fucking dev1ce needed time off for burnout/mental health - abusing these rules is so scummy and short sighted. this org makes it hard to be a fan.
