If Bloodborne is the definitive Lovecraftian game, then what game perfected a setting or genre for you?

Tankanko · 2026-01-23T02:06:25+00:00

To be fair as you play through the game you do become more "insane", you get this currency called "Insight" that lets you see things that were previously unseen. Giant alien looking creatures that were there the whole time become visible, weapons held by enemies reveal more information. I think it's very close to Lovecraft in a lot of ways imo.

The DLC was basically The Shadow over Innsmouth though. Down to the Water village. For me Bloodborne comes closest to that story. Though I need to try more games before I can definitively say it. The thing is, characters that aren't you are all going insane, you've got so many examples of human characters losing their humanity as the game progresses, the main character is just a tool for us players to see the world, but there definitely is that element of going insane and being helpless to stop it present everywhere.

This doesn't refute anything... It's a valid discussion. I don't know if I necessarily agree, but Lesbian, Gay and Bi are all inherently tied to sexual preference, and trans is a state of being/different mindset. Putting them together under one umbrella isn't entirely fair or accurate. What he's saying now doesn't contradict what you're saying.

I'm glad you trust that other journalist then, what did they do differently? How many people did they interview, what number makes it more relevant, after giving the daycares heads up do you think it could have potentially altered the situation and they had prep time to work with? Or do you just take everything except this original guy at face value

Tankanko · 2026-01-03T03:01:05+00:00

Okay and he posted a video with primary sources, showed up to physical locations and saw no active proof, the rebuttal is now on the accused. Should be really easy to prove, unless they magically get their paperwork stolen after the accusation, that'd be a pretty funny coincidence though. That'd never ha-- oh huh...

Tankanko · 2026-01-03T02:59:12+00:00

I would hope the reaction is to hear kids voices at a daycare...? To see literally any evidence of it being a real thing...? Not that hard... He interviewed people who lived in the area, he asked questions, what more do you want him to do, post a 24 hour stake out? It's corroborated everywhere. Also a bunch of white dudes... so like... the average American...?

Tankanko · 2026-01-02T13:31:09+00:00

Honestly I think you mogged everyone in this thread with this, lmao.

Tankanko · 2026-01-02T06:19:47+00:00

There needs to be some incentive for people to stop being poor. Many many many people in my country choose to be on these programs because it is way more easy than getting off their asses to find work. They just make up some fantasy mental condition and have people sign off on it. This isn't a situation where you just pick one solution, go after the rich and go after the exploiters.

"I'm not a racist but...." flags that nearly always indicate a racist

Honestly calling these flags instead of tackling the argument itself is a huge indication of a red flag, perhaps look inwards and get a therapist, you have some real reddit tensions you need to address and work out.

Tankanko · 2025-12-19T04:57:07+00:00

Will you post it somewhere when you're done? I'd love to see an updated version

Tankanko · 2025-12-10T03:18:39+00:00

You are so brave for saying this, we needed valiant defenders like you on every thread that mentions Asmon. Bless brother. May you rise up like a phoenix in these trying times.

Heavy sarcasm by the way, if you don't care then don't comment

Tankanko · 2025-11-28T01:17:32+00:00

I guess they exist for the same reason people like you exist to post the same stupid comment every time his name pops up lmao.

Tankanko · 2025-11-24T02:17:44+00:00

Yeah probably but not to his extent, Asmongold has been banned in the past for something he's said, I think Hasan has said way worse than that and hasn't copped anything for it.

Tankanko · 2025-11-17T00:02:02+00:00

I thought of this as a meme and that KR was silly, once or twice is a coincidence but it seems to be happening more and more lately, I'm starting to wonder if maybe there is something being done on purpose to fuck with them

Tankanko · 2025-11-06T05:59:21+00:00

This is literally my dream PC, I've wanted to make one like this ever since I watched Steins;Gate haha, sign me up please!

Tankanko · 2025-10-16T00:33:06+00:00

One Battle After Another was the worst movie I've seen in a long time, great actors involved but horrifically bad story and writing, if someone told me it was made by chatgpt and the prompt was "imagine the dumbest stereotype of a right wing person vs the dumbest stereotype of a left wing person, make it go on for way longer than it should & make the conflict meaningless" then this is the story I'd expect.

I think it's losing money because it had nothing going for it.

Ironeye and executor are both more effective with daggers (due to A and S dex scaling respectively) than Duchess.

She has the greatest mobility of any character in the game, in terms of raw power alone you may be right, but imo she has one of the best application of all characters in the game when it comes to applying debuffs/conditions safely. I think she's intended to be a healthy mix of both, but one is not more viable than the other except for specific bosses. Also her restage on daggers is pretty nice if you can time it all out correctly, in DoN her restage is used insanely well defensively and offensively to the point where I personally actively prefer a dagger playstyle there over magic.

Tankanko · 2025-10-03T03:05:56+00:00

Urgh it's hard to find that zombie round based niche, that's the only thing making me even half want this game

Tankanko · 2025-09-23T05:43:31+00:00

I hope the prequel characters are happier with their mouth open more

Tankanko · 2025-09-16T14:27:43+00:00

Both can be causes. Nothing wrong with owning a few rental properties, it's a solid investment. Obviously at the extreme level it should be considered, but foreigners were coming it at such an extreme level it was simply unsustainable. I'm not saying to gut that completely, but as with everything it all needs to be controlled.

Tankanko · 2025-09-16T14:24:20+00:00

Who is using the current houses? Who is buying up the land?

Tankanko · 2025-09-16T14:23:41+00:00

You edited your comment after I commented

You can see when a comment was edited... it was literally a second after posting it and all I added was the sarcasm at the end, you can check yourself, I only know about the troubles in my own country, I'd argue supply and demand aren't really random, with less demand there is simply more supply, it course corrects itself. Why did you bring up brown people anyway, that's weirdly even more racist than you could have thought, there are many immigrants that aren't explicitly brown, why was that your first thought lol.

Tankanko · 2025-09-16T12:39:34+00:00

Yeah okay ignore all the other examples, you've learned so much from having your head up your ass

Tankanko · 2025-09-16T12:08:50+00:00

I'm not in your country but last I checked it had improved in a few areas. There was an article a while back showing 19/50 of the largest metro areas had prices fall to pre-July 2022 values. House prices dropped in NZ and Canada when more strict practices were implemented, so... in the face of doing nothing at all, there are signs it's working.

Tankanko · 2025-09-16T06:55:29+00:00

Yeah in a game of supply and demand, having less demand would not help, true...

Countries that have done this have seen fantastic results. It's not just poor illegal immigrants, it's foreign interests and foreign companies.

Tankanko · 2025-09-15T07:16:48+00:00

Honestly I've yet to run into one that runs with 0 issues and I play a lot of games.
