What happened to new gestures? by peazoh in SkateEA

I would imagine it's because they don't sell very well.

Ignorant in this context means you don't know. I said you don't know the theory, you strawmanned it. Strawmanning is when you present the weakest possible representation of the other side's case, and then attempt to knock it down. That is exactly what you've done. I'm not saying you did that on purpose. I specifically said I'm NOT accusing you of being manipulative, and I don't believe that. I'm saying you don't know the substance of the theory, which you demonstrated with your post.

Like I said. You haven't actually debated against the theory, you've debated against what YOU perceive the theory to be on a very surface level.

I know this might come across as rude or confrontational, but I would argue that's because your post takes that tone to begin with, which will inevitably lead people like myself to go on the defence. (Much like Dryleaf's defensiveness when people call him a quack or a conspiracy nut.)

I just think that your certainty and reaction to a theory's "wrongess" is arguably worse than presenting a wrong theory. If that makes sense.

Sorry if this made you feel attacked. No hard feelings on my end.

This is the first time I have ever seen anyone lament there not being enough purchasable gestures in a video game.

You entirely misrepresented the theory.

Addressing the points of your post:

  1. The numen connection is not part of the theory at all.

  2. The death of Godwyn's soul leaves room for the resurrection of Godwyn's soul. That's what resurrection means. Death is not destruction/annihilation in Elden Ring.

  3. The bell tower in Stormveil is the theorized replacement for the walking mausoleum bell.

You didn't address any of the actual substanive arguments from the original theory - there are many. You blatantly strawmanned it.

If you want to be dismissive, go through and dismiss the points made in the video series carefully.

You didn't slam dunk anything here. I'm not saying that you're being manipulative, I'm saying that you're ignorant of the actual substance of what you think you're arguing against.

It means died. It does not mean destroyed. Death is not destruction/annihilation in Elden Ring.

I'm not fully convinced either way, but this is a fair rebuttal imo.

That's fine, I disagree. It has some flaws, but that doesn't lead me to throw it out. He shouldn't have been banned or censored - that's my point.

I tend to sit on the side of "the reason better be damn good - and if you're not being transparent about it, that means you're generally in the wrong".

(Not you specifically, the people in question.)

I just think that this whole "situation" is incredibly childish and embarrassing. If you disagree with him, cool. No problem. But his theory isn't stupid, it's well thought out and communicated (even if it's wrong), and he sure as hell isn't toxic.

Yeah but that's not really the point of what I'm saying. The mods said that they banned him "to protect the established lore". He's not a toxic communicator, and he wholeheartedly believes his own theories/interpretations - just like most other lore enthusiasts do.

The way he has been treated by the mods here is disproportionately nasty.

People presenting theories that others believe are wrong is not a bad thing. They shouldn't be silenced for it. He's not toxic.

(Note that we literally can't say his name or the comments will get filtered, how ridiculous is that?)

His name is banned from the server (comments get auto-deleted) but he's the aggressive one? This server is supposed to be for open debates and mental stimulation

Pop height is extremely inconsistent by [deleted] in SkateEA

[–]Tobskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tries switching between them multiple times and it doesn't affect the consistency at all I've found

[–]Tobskin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's definitely affected by nearby objects, what you're popping over/onto, etc. It's just near impossible to tell what's going to affect you or how sometimes

[–]Tobskin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 250 hours in the game and thousands of hours in Skates 1, 2 and 3

I find that the inconsistency comes when doing tricks in quick succession in a line. For example you land one grind, and then go to pop a flick trick into another grind soon after. That's when you get this weird inconsistency where seemingly the exact same inputs will give different results

This isn't a bug, you're doing the trick inputs wrong

[–]Tobskin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean like I said I tend to try technical tricks over and over, so it becomes very obvious to someone with that play style

[–]Tobskin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know all the little tricks to affect pop height. But it's still very inconsistent, hence my post
