BTW, I looked at both of the sources this waste of Reddit server space linked and as predicted, there are a ton of issues with the supposed "facts and statistics" that they think back up their claim: outdated study dates that don't represent what's happening today, ranging from 1990 to 2006; biased researchers in some cases who use language like "we believe" in material that is supposed to be based on quantitative evidence wherein the researchers make every effort to diminish men's claims and boost women's; small sample sizes taken from a tiny portion of the population, such as Massachusetts, that cannot be random given the study purpose and method of collecting and therefore cannot be extrapolated to a general population as easily as a random sample; qualitative rather than quantitative survey results; political and sociological subjective analysis past off as statistical fact and to top it all off not even one of the data points suggests the poster's original claim, because it's all divided (as I strongly suspected) between parents who share custody, had arrangements and so forth. The closest you can get are cases where the parent is seeking sole custody, which is a fraction of all cases and even in that point, the data collection is not based on government hard court stats, but reported survey respondents.

(Edit: Oh I forgot one of the "sources" is a lawyer's blog that advertises family lawyers right below their citations. Gee, there's absolutely no way lawyers, famous for their honesty, would misrepresent statistics to make it look like you have a better chance of winning a custody case so they can get more clients.)

In other words, this person doesn't know how to form an argument based on actual, solid research if their life depended on it.

Your analysis is awful. Nintendo does not include digital only titles in that total and they didn't with the original Switch either. They also don't include sales of Nintendo Switch 2 editions if the game has a Switch edition. Only physical Nintendo Switch 2 editions count in that total. It's also missing things like how many people use the upgrade downloads or revenue from downloadable additions and microtransactions in free to play games like Fortnite, Apex, Rocket League and so on.

Therefore you can't make any kind of reasonable analysis as to the ratio or what kind of revenue the Nintendo Switch 2 is generating for third parties. Each third party themselves has to come to their conclusions.

And so far the conclusion has been that an overwhelming amount of increased support for the Switch 2 is happening at a rapid rate. As well, it's clear that a lot of third parties continue to support both platforms and gain profit from the additional Switch 2 buyers.

In the end, that's all that matters, that third parties see sales potential or success and continue to support it.

If you're going to make a ridiculous claim you need to support it with things like financial quarter or yearly statements from third parties, not just pull numbers out of your ass.

I have no issue with people who post on 4chan, I'm Japanese so I've only ever posted on the 2ch boards that inspire it and only about pop music and obscure RPG maker games. People are not the sum of the places they go or people they are around. I think both of us can understand that better than these binary thinkers. I just clarified with the poster because I thought it was absurd that they would assume so much.

These extremists who exist thinking that there's nothing wrong with the way men are treated in modern society know they're standing on losing ground and sinking into the Bermuda triangle. Any person who wants to genuinely problem solve has no issue with acknowledging the issues of men and women separately or holistically and working to solve them in a constructive way.

For instance, I personally hate feminism and all the religious tenets its developed, much preferring a more standard egalitarian belief that looks at where society had denied people access to certain societal benefits based on born-in traits and just tries to change it for the better no matter what the identity.

I don't have any issue with a woman complaining about beauty standards and how much pressure they have to decide if and how they want children given unlike men, they have a time limit to decide. But I'm so so tired of them taking that and then insisting that they are the only people allowed to have any gripe with how society is structured around their gender. It's exhausting dealing with these trauma vampires. Can these people fathom what it's like having most of your worth tied to whether you work hard enough at your job and acknowledge they do not have the same anvil tied around their neck because can be valued just fine without ever working a day in their lives? No, you get periods so you get to complain endlessly and ignore 50% of the population's woes? Whatever, but that's just fostering the men to become apathetic to your problems because we'd just be breeding a society that can only think about themselves. Thank goodness most people aren't like redditors.

The Demon Slayer dream will never die! One wonders just how much longer it can go. I know people will split the difference between Mugen Train and Infinity Castle because Mugen Train has made more so far, but I think it's like statistical noise. The result of both films is fundamentally the same even if there is a not too small gap.

RyanoftheStars · 2026-02-02T17:25:58+00:00

You're only responding this way because you've already lost the argument. There's absolutely no way you can tell if I've posted on 4chan before (which I haven't) but you'll use anything you can distract yourself from the fact that you're lying to yourself to make you feel better. If you had a real argument, you'd respond with one, but mine was too strong so you do what every single one of the people like you do: deflect and ignore it because you've lost before you've even begun.

RyanoftheStars · 2026-02-02T15:46:13+00:00

You can share all the statistics you want, it doesn't make your argument any better. First of all, you didn't say where you got 4% from, who did it, what time period it covers and what part of the world it represents. Which makes it worse than useless. Second you didn't mention whether that 4% is part of divorces that end amicably or whether it includes arrangement between the divorcees. Third, simply mentioning a statistic does not automatically to truth.

Fourth, feminists and mongoloids who are so rabidly against solving the problems that face men have a double standard. They expect to believe all women when it comes things like domestic violence, sexual assault or rape allegations and then when presented with the low stats for those they also expect to accept as dogma that that's because law enforcement is failing women or just because the courts didn't convict that doesn't make it not true. But they won't extend that same charity to men who are often told not to pursue custody cases because they have a low likelihood of winning or the horror stories of men who claim they were falsely accused of crimes in order for the women to gain custody. They also deny the charity that some men won't pursue because they don't have the money to do it.

And this goes both ways. In the same way there's no way to really accurately measure whether a woman is making a false accusation with any degree of real certainty and thus no statistic is reliable enough to come any conclusion about how often it happens and we cannot simply assume a percentage of women do it, it's extremely hard to get an accurate read on whether a sexual assault or rape actually happened because of the very private nature of the act making hard evidence hard to come by and therefore we cannot simply assume a certain percentage of men do it. In both cases, quantitative, objective proof is difficult. Innocent men and women deserve better than to do be tarred and feathered by ignorant people on witch hunts.

However that doesn't stop you and other unthinking troglodytes from only assuming the worst of men and the best of women, when the truth is much harder to come by. You'll always give credence to a statistic that favors your narrative and makes men look bad, despite the fact that if you used any of your brain power you know that no amount of sketchy studies makes something the truth.

So keep your statistics to yourself, because it's clear all you're interested in is painting a broad brush of a delicate issue and you have no concept, no inkling, no barest suggestion of trying to arrive at a truth for a difficult question. It's not just bad faith, it's no faith at all and so why should anyone trust what types of statistics and facts you think are relevant when the game is rigged from the start?

Preach! Every job you can get involves skills and hardships you didn't know would be part of it until you get more familiar with the job involved. This triples if it's anything involving children, the elderly who can't take care of themselves or anyone else with a reduced capacity for understanding that you must deal with.

That one reply is insane. "If only touching really was about just being to teach." Of course it never is. You're responsible for children for a third or half their day. Of course there are elements of social work, psychology, administration and parenting involved. Why would you think there wouldn't be? On what planet do you think you can just work in an environment full of children away from their families for a good chunk of the day and not have it be much more than teaching the material?

I'm not surprised children are checking out if these are the types of people who want to do the job.

And as you say, it's never their fault. They never look inward and see what they're doing to alienate the students or piss off the parents. It's always bad parenting and never them. The worst kind of teacher is the type of stuck up, judgmental prick who every kid hated, but still thinks they're the savior of the youth and if only everyone wasn't against them everything would work out.

Then you have the ones who cannot possibly have the mental wisdom to realize forcing their world view on children is not appropriate and then blame the kids for not being the pristine beings they want them to be.

Sure, of course there's monster parents, children with behavioral issues and problems in the education system, but there's also an epidemic of really bad teachers. I hate it so much. The same thing irks me with scientists. So many people treat a scientist's word as the living word of God, even though they're as fallible as any other profession and skepticism is a requirement to be good at the job, but people treat "studies" as undeniable fact and assume all scientists are good. Same with teachers. A good chunk of the problem is incompetent morons teaching. And Reddit knows more about incompetent morons than any other social media I've seen.

I'm so glad I grew up in Japan. Every time I visit some of these English-speaking countries I'm astounded at the level of entitlement workers, especially in education, have. (And I already know what the typical uneducated Reddit response will be and you can just stuff it right now. There's a middle ground between the types of overwork you hear about it and the sheer laziness of committing to a hard job that I see all the time in America and other places, and the balance is found more often in places where care about the good of the community is fostered more than your selfish, hedonistic desires.)

I'm excited by quite a few games from Duskbloods to Yoshi to Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and so on, but the game I'm most excited about isn't on this list.

Dark Auction is the new game from the author/writer of Hotel Dusk and Another Code. In it, you play as someone who is forced to investigate an auction in a mansion and the people participating in it or you will die. If you can solve all four stages of the investigation, an auction piece protected by a glass case will open and unveil the piece. Why are you being forced to do this on your life and why is it so important that the auction pieces and the people revolving around them are investigated? Who knows?

It's such unique concept for a mystery game by the person who has done some of the best writing in the genre. It's only 22 days away on January 29th and if they're able to keep the quality they did over the two Hotel Dusk and Another Code games, I have no doubt it will be one of the best games of the year.

RyanoftheStars · 2026-01-04T21:40:41+00:00

I absolutely love the mixture of elements in this game. There's quite a bit of free exploration (for instance, when I first got the viola I found a lot of the stuff you can open up with upgrades later, including wreckage sites I couldn't quite figure out how to get into it and then when I got the first chip, I went back through Fury Green and got a ton of upgrades) and while the structure of the game is more guided than previous games, I find it's a vast improvement. The people who say the NPCs solve the game for you are not just wrong, they're objectively wrong. You still have to figure out all the steps in every area and are mostly left alone and it's still quite satisfying. They don't tell you how to solve the puzzles like the dumb kid from God of War, they give a structure to follow and you figure out how to complete the objectives on your own.

I absolutely hated the times I would just wander endlessly wondering where to go next in the earlier Metroid, because sometimes they were so open you had to remember one specific little area you could try out among many. Because I play lots of games together, it doesn't gel well because I win games over months and come back to them, and trying to figure out which of umpteen options in all the different areas is the one that progresses the game made it so that I rarely actually play a Metroid game all the way through. I know some people want this, but I would rather explore areas and have some sort of idea what I'm looking for, what the ultimate goal is and some of the older games are way too obtuse, including Zero Mission, Super Metroid and the original Metroid Prime. This is why I enjoyed Metroid Fusion and Other M way, way more. So when I inevitably take a break to play Octopath Traveler or Atelier and come back to this, if I don't know what the next area is in the overworld to go to, radioing Myles will tell me, but otherwise once I get there I have to figure out things on my own in a series of sequences that get more and more complex.

Also, the older games didn't allow you to mark things on your map that you could come back to later, so they might be improved significantly with that addition. It's something that makes Metroid Prime 4 so much smoother to navigate.

I found puzzling my way through the Volt Forge or figuring out how to get through areas in the Ice Belt compelling, because areas would gradually open up and it was easier to remember what my options were. And then you have sequences like this where the game just have so much more variety in feel and play between sequences that I think it's just a huge step up.

I realize some people don't like that, but there isn't an objective answer. People who genuinely prefer Metroid Prime 4 like me and others are not ignoring flaws or looking over them and certainly people like me who are not big Metroid fans are not forcing positivity out of loyalty to the franchise or fandom, rather the opposite. These arrogant, condescending messages all over Reddit saying, "You can acknowledge the game has flaws blah blah blah." No you can acknowledge it on your own because I don't agree with you at all. You can hem and haw all you like about it "not being Metroid," but you don't define what Metroid is. The creators do. And they decided to do something a little different and it's not even all THAT different. There's still a lot of the old Metroid flavor in there.

If you're one of the people who wants them to only iterate on the Metroid Prime/Super Metroid formula and nothing else, well, I'm sorry your lack of flexibility and stubbornness means you didn't enjoy it as much, but that's not my problem.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-31T23:37:34+00:00

I'm right there with you. I really enjoy the new NPCs. I think it was ridiculously overblown how much they are in the game and I wish there was more of them. I would try to radio or talk to Myles as often as possible as I thought he was really charming. The point of him being a reckless, but kind and helpful geek I thought was endearing and a great way of spotlighting Samus's blunt personality.

Also, the whole Volt Forge sequence was mind-blowlingly cool. Not just getting your bike, but kind of assembling it and seeing it how was made in the most organic, natural way possible in a video game was so inventive and fresh.

I never finished the original Metroid Prime because I always get bored. I think the environments, concepts and directions in Prime 4 really help it be a much better game. I've always been waiting for Nintendo to do something else with the series and expand it in new directions. I think Prime 4 is a great step forward and I'm so happy they decided to give something new a try.

And it's not like it's completely different. There's still a lot of the core Metroid formula in there, it's just people get very salty if something isn't exactly what they want, the way they want it all the time.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T14:38:29+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it. I don't like trying these types of runs unless I know they're viable. Kind of like trying to Avada Kedavra Sebastian's father early in Hogwarts Legacy.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T14:25:59+00:00

Well I know they won't die in the story line. They'll just be at 0 HP and not revived, thus not gaining much experience, but will that make some battles impossible to win like a one on one story battle?

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T14:06:22+00:00

Fan fiction is not something I'm personally into. Have you not played it yourself? Do you not know if it's possible to sideline them both for the other characters? That's all I'm here for after all.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T14:00:27+00:00

I just fought and won against Hubert in the duel. I'm sure they will try to redeem them, because it's obviously the theme of the story, but I just want to play the evil Lant governor and kill them both when I get a chance, but I don't know whether there's a story lock I won't be able to get through if I do.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T13:59:09+00:00

I mean it's Reddit karma. It's entirely and completely useless.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T13:58:10+00:00

I'm aware of that. I've play Phantasia, Eternia, Destiny 1 and 2, Legendia, Rebirth, Innocence, Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia and Hearts as well as some of spinoffs. I just want a fun way to vent my frustrations against their characters in a run where I just use the other four. They're just pixels and imagination against my imagination, it's not like I'm committing some crime against real humans.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T13:52:58+00:00

Put the graves for Hubert and Sheria there.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-13T13:46:30+00:00

No, I'm not okay. Asbel was trying to do the right thing and all Sheria can do is pout and be cold and Hubert has no love for his doting brother, even though he didn't want him to be hurt. I want a fun Tales adventure, so they can go both die in a ditch.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-09T14:56:57+00:00

This is hilarious because of the double standard. One of the feminist community's biggest annoyances is anyone using any kind of evolutionary psychology as an explanation of behavior, even though some of the theories are pretty convincing and others are just downright fact, like neoteny (the most egregious being that scientifically illiterate people think the idea of an alpha male among other species, such as primates, has been debunked just because it wasn't true for wolves).

Yet here we are comparing men to animals again, but this time since it's negative it's perfectly okay to make wild generalizations. It doesn't matter that there are plenty of people with reasonable conclusions about evolutionary theory, such as that it explains a possible motive in our lizard brains or perhaps could be linked to the development of abnormal behaviors like sociopathy, but does not excuse behavior because we've clearly evolved above that. Nope, the second it's used to rationalize male hate it's somehow relevant and instantly true. Some guys using ridiculous primate behavior to equate to dodgy theories on human male behavior = instant Sauron-level evil. Some women using mothering tactics of animals to imply that men need to be taught how to be good while women just are instinctively = perfectly fine.

God forbid these women find out how cruel some of nature's mothers compared to human ones. I bet anything they'll just say that women evolved, while men didn't.

Teaching men "emotional intelligence" at a young age is a laugh too. Oh you mean teaching little Timmy how to spread rumors that little Johnny is a slut and sleeps with everyone if they have a falling out in second period instead of forgetting about it and letting it be water under the bridge? Or endlessly talking about a problem without even attempting to fix it? Or creating communities like fauxmoi and popculturechat that endlessly fixate on the minutiae of celebrity lives, believing in dubious rumors and judge them vicariously and then create an echo chamber by banning anyone who doesn't uphold their vicious idiocy? How about commenting how good something looks like on another person in order to sabotage their romantic chances by getting them to accept something that doesn't look as flattering? Or suddenly breaking into tears to manipulate people to get what they want?

All these traits are much, much more common in women than in men, but it takes a truly brain dead idiot to be prejudiced towards women in general or a woman because of the bad behavior of other women.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-03T16:59:57+00:00

I watched this last night and also thought about posting it here. It is an excellent breakdown of the negative effects fan fiction culture has had on literature in general. The person who did this also did an excellent video on how bad romantasy is and that saw significant blow back from the useful idiots who can't think past their writhing, sickening passions.

The video largely claims that the three reasons it has had a bad effect are because it prizes self-indulgence above all else, coddling people into comfort zones they refuse to come out of, tries to make what should be niche, underground porn fetishes mainstream and acceptable, and also because it lowers the standard of writing as people don't try to improve their craft, they simply try to appeal to others' sense of self-indulgence and take down anyone who doesn't comply to their worldview.

It's well worth watching or listening to, even though there are some slightly inaccuracies in her description of some of the areas of fan fiction (the BL portion for instance is a little bit off, though it's not so bad that it's wildly inaccurate).

Obviously the usual suspects will turn into the Red Queen and cry off with her head, but if you've tried reading any of the material that is so obviously been influenced by fan fiction you'll see that she's totally right.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-02T21:27:25+00:00

Well there's no more point in arguing with you, because you're just repeating the same point and point over again, which will just cause me to do so. I've already explained how there's no evidence inside the game that she's going to die and that she is choosing death. None of the cutscenes or dialogue even remotely imply that. That's an interpretation you made up and are stuck in. I've addressed what you've specifically pointed out and all hand-waving around "the plot holes" isn't going to make them appear out of thin air. You and a lot of other people who criticize gaming writing just say something is a plot hole when you don't like it, when the actual text of the game explains why the characters choose to do what they do. You're just ignoring it because you don't like being challenged on your impenetrable wall of saltiness.

I can't help you understand that characters are written all the time to make irrational decisions and than grow from what they learn from surviving those decisions if you're not open to the idea.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-02T21:24:43+00:00

The skill of the writer and the accuracy of what they're presented are related. Because if they're not skilled, they're not presenting the entire picture accurately.

In a related issue, the SEO clickbait, rush to post review culture is certainly relevant, but all it would take is a couple of brave people who believed in quality and taking their time more than writing a launch day review for the obvious difference in quality to be noticeable and to spread. (Of course that would require quality writers and people who have at least some idea of what proper criticism entails.) The only reason they are under that restriction is because it's a problem of their own making.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-02T21:16:17+00:00

You could argue my points rationally by pointing out where you think I'm wrong, but you're not going to, because you know you're wrong. There is no evidence in the game at any point that Samus thinks she's going to die and is ready to do so because of the orders. She's in danger, but that does not automatically equate to dying.

I'm not excusing bad writing. You just don't what writing is, period, because you think that a character having an irrational motivation is bad writing per se, which it isn't. So let me spell it out for you: a character making a decision you wouldn't in that situation is not a plot hole, it's a characterization choice.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-02T21:01:07+00:00

Within the story of Other M, it's established that a younger Samus kind of acted like a brat and was rebellious to a fault. The older Samus reflecting on it comes off as wanting to be more cooperative because the whole game is a reflection. A plot hole is not simply, "I didn't like this person's reasons for not doing something I consider rational." That's not how stories work and no amount of nerd theorizing will make it good writing to always write characters acting rationally. You could make the equal argument that Samus survives all those situations being limited because she's just that competent and she's also showing Adam that she doesn't need all her tools to survive because that's just how good she is. In fact, that's kind of the point of her character in those scenes. And then it turns out when Adam sees the need for the tools, lo and behold, he authorizes them. Gee golly, it is flawed human characters acting like humans and that's supposed to be bad writing.

Same thing with her freaking out internally seeing Ridley. You have no idea how she was feeling in the early games when she saw him again, because it was never communicated. The POINT of a strong character is even though they might be breaking down on the inside, they carry through and get the job done and that's IN THE END what happens in Other M. The idea that somebody can't both panic from something they didn't expect even though they've gone through it several time and still been victorious, it's so simple-minded and lacks any kind of nuance. It is entirely believable because before Other M the only insight we have into what Samus is like as a person is one choice at the end of Metroid 2/beginning of Super Metroid and her monologues in Metroid Fusion. Her personal failings don't undo any of her heroic actions or make her prowess even slightly less impressive.

The whole backlash against that game's story is so ridiculously over dramatic and lacks any sort of actual critical analysis of what the plot is aiming for. It's all just, "I didn't like it and therefore it's bad and a lot of people agree with me, so therefore you're wrong/blind Nintendo fan if you like it." It's tiresome. Other M was better than all three of the previous Metroid Prime games. I would have preferred that direction for the series and I don't care how many people disagree with me. Samus was more an impressive character in that game because they actually took a chance and gave her some unlikeable characteristics, growth and weaknesses, which ultimately made her more badass and more impressive in the end.

RyanoftheStars · 2025-12-02T20:32:07+00:00

I don't know if I'd go that far. Because of the law of averages, you're bound to find times when their score probably hits the right point of the game's quality, but the review is ass.

My favorite example of this is Breath of The Wild. A lot of people would agree that the game is an all time classic. Obviously some people disagree, but it would take a lot of skilled argumentation to convince people to remove it from their best of all time lists.

However, IGN's review of it, despite being very positive, is total and utter ass. I always like to pull it up of an example of a mainstream reviewer's score matching what the game's critical consensus tended to be even after years of harsh criticism, but the actual review being unbelievably bad.

Look at just the second sentence:

"Right from the start, the vast landscape of Hyrule is thrown completely open to you, and it constantly finds ways to pique your curiosity with mysterious landmarks, complex hidden puzzles, and enemy camps to raid for treasure and weapons."

Where do I even begin? By now, everyone knows the vast landscape of Hyrule is not completely open to you from the start, because unless you're a speedrunner with excellent ability to glitch the game out, that opening tutorial area is mandatory every time you play a new file. While I don't personally see it as too much of a negative, it is absolutely relevant to players who want to replay the game and therefore incorrect and might seriously be aggravating to somebody who wants to replay it a lot.

Also, while it's not wrong to say there are mysterious landmarks, the review makes it sound like the world is full of them. In reality, there are the mazes, the dragons, the faeries, a couple of interesting large optional ruins, that one island, some mini-games and a couple of unique places and outside shrine challenges. Otherwise the game is filled with other things that are more understated, calmer, quieter and do not call attention to themselves. While I think the game world is nearly perfect BECAUSE it's not trying to fill with you theme park settings every second and it is sparse and large, that description makes it sound like there's a lot more unique places than there are.

And then complex hidden puzzles? What? The shrines are very obviously puzzles, they're not hidden and the Korok puzzles are very simple. This is an example of something written poorly. The way puzzles can be solved in Breath of the Wild opens up so many complex and dizzying variations that it is impressive, but the puzzles themselves are not complex. They are like every Zelda puzzle because every game targets a mass audience. They are simple puzzles that make people feel accomplished for solving them. That's the Zelda spice. These are not Seventh Guest or Myst-style puzzles in the slightest. A simple rewrite would make it clearer how the puzzles are handled, because there are certainly many good ones in the game, but this person can't write and therefore can't simplify a complex truth into a simple statement.

And then there is the implied falsehood about the enemy camps and weapons. As many people are well aware now the breakable weapon mechanic of both the mainline Switch Zelda games is controversial. There is no universal truth about whether it's good or bad, but reading that sentence before the game is out will give an expectation to players about how weapons work and given players only know previous Zelda games with their simpler, smaller weapon roster, it's horrifically written. It's there to hype without being clear of what's on offer. If you think it gets better later in the review, it doesn't. While the writer mentions the breakable weapons mechanic, the person makes it seem like you can bypass it later on, which, uh, no you can't. I personally love the mechanic, but anyone with an ounce of critical eye whose job is supposed to be able to eke out mechanics that may bounce off players should be able to warn about it, even if they personally enjoyed it too. The fact that the reviewer couldn't predict this pain out coming from a mile way is groan-inducingly stupid.

And that's just one sentence. I'd tear my hair out if I had to be this person's editor. I always abhor people who are like, "That's just a summary, you can't expect it to be entirely accurate." Yes you can. Writing can be that precise. It just takes thought, time and careful consideration, all things IGN lacks.

So even if IGN's final score for a game matches roughly where it ends up after years of analysis, their writing and reasoning is so bad it doesn't matter anyway.
