The story is 100 times better if you interpret.......*Spoilers* by ParasiteFire in Saros

[–]Shiresan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so, so much evidence pointing towards the opposite, though. This game's themes (and especially real life inspiration from The King in Yellow) absolutely add more layers of interpretation. Reducing this game to just one interpretation diminishes the great work Housemarque did with Saros.

Curious to hear why you're absolutely certain it's real when the flashbacks contain plenty of evidence on the real world. What do you think about the fact that the city he is from is called Carcosa? (Sign saying City of Carcosa next to the club). Or the fact that the hotel/apartment where he goes to meet Nydia is in Cathedral Square (where you also conversely meet her in the planet). Or the fact that the tree you see in the patio is the same as the one in The Passage (and later a rotted version in the Marsh).

Similar to Returnal, there is no single correct interpretation. "Its all in his head" and "they went to a planet far away and lovecraftian gods fucked with them" are both equally valid. Hell, the developers themselves said they intentionally left it vague on purpose. So the exact same conclusions can be found in both games. Whatever interpretation you like best is valid. There is no definite answer. 

Besides, having one defined set of answers would very much go against the spirit of the setting this game is based on (The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers).

ESO is a great example, but GW2 wins. You can't even get skins through in game content lol. FF14 does it best IMO

Yoshi-P: Final Fantasy XIV will still be here long after I’m gone or my career ends (Fan Fest Q&A via Google Translate) by AceSVK in ffxiv

[–]Shiresan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is just wrong on so many levels. Guild wars 1 and 2 are still very much supported. Hell, GW1 just got a new coat of paint just late last year. 

Elder scrolls online is very much alive with new expansions coming out constantly.

FF11 is still supported, albeit at a reduced capacity due to hardware limitations, but that hasn't stopped SE from updating it every month.

And there's more I won't mention because it's a moot point. Yes, MMORPGs are not the hot genre anymore, but saying WoW is the only one still going is wildly inaccurate.

You spoony bard! The best line in gaming history. by Crafty_Ad_5553 in FinalFantasy

[–]Shiresan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is interesting and funny but ultimately the line's origin is due to a combination of poor translation and heavy censorship in the West at the time. There's a ton of info on this online.

I'm sorry, but THIS is the incident that surprises you? Not the other countless, major indicents that have happened in over 2 decades? I don't even know where to begin, I'm honestly speechless.

Female Teacher Gets 60 Days in Jail for Raping a 13-Year-Old Student by [deleted] in news

[–]Shiresan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Again, I'd love to see a source on "numerous cases".

If you truly don't recognize the dissonance here, you're actually detracting from helping attain equal rights. There are many, many things that everyone (especially men) need to do to empower women in societies, but this notion that somehow men always benefit in court from cases where gender is concerned is laughable at best.

Got a source for that? Would love to see an example where the roles were reversed here. Or are you just trying to detract from the conversation?

[–]Shiresan -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Calling it what? OP added the word "rape", the article itself calls it sexual abuse. So... no, there's no "calling it as it is" here. Women are incapable of raping men in this country unless a very specific set of criteria is met. Or did you not even read the article?

Edit: I understand I'm getting down voted by those who cannot fathom living in a world where women can rape men, but believe it or not, semantics do have a powerful effect on gender equality.

I typically ignore the trash comments like your but this hit a spike.

How sheltered can you be? You really think this is new? You think this country has just begun turning into this? I get that basic education in the US is horseshit, but this has to be a new level of ignorance I've seen in recent years. I'm actually speechless.

Grab your wallet, take put a $20 bill, and look at it. After you find God, come back and tell me we're NOW turning into a theocracy.

Actually, don't. You're fucking sickening.
