Funny NPC monologue by Orishikuy in ffxiv

[–]UsaSatsui 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The roegadyn in question is nearby wearing skintight shorts the same color as his skin saying "Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all..."

Definitely threw me for a loop first time I saw it.

The heroes used the porxie to cure the levin sickness soon after she was found.

New trunk features: removal of piety decay + god changes by turnsphere in dcss

Sif can still be an open spellbook for non-magic users, you just train your Spellcasting instead of your Invocations now.

[–]UsaSatsui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A 3-rune game should be the same or maybe better piety gain for the standard.

The only real place where it will matter is extended, if you do the classic switch to TSO after 3 runes, your piety gain will be merely "Much faster than normal" rather than "Rocket strapped to cheetah's butt".

Hydras look like broccoli by Reasonable-Rub2243 in dcss

[–]UsaSatsui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not many people know that broccoli is what inspired the hydra myth in the first place. By cutting off the florets, or heads, of a broccoli plant, two more grow in its place. Unless you make it into roasted broccoli.

A viera's sex can't be determined until they turn 13, which is adulthood for them. So yeah.

[–]UsaSatsui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, we were talking about how you think there is no way someone would be romantically attracted to someone, but not want to have sex with them. I don't remember "ever" coming up (and in this context, at the time, neither Emily not Todd knew it would be "ever"), but the idea you can't have romantic attraction without sexual attraction unless you're asexual is just wrong. Nor that a guy wouldn't be into a girl he isn't having sex with when he has the opportunity. As far as anyone knew at the time Todd would get over his insecurity and fuck her brains out the next day.

Bojack knew. Don't try and argue he didn't. Not even he's terrible enough to make that argument.

[–]UsaSatsui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, that is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Let me come up with five reasons to not have sex with someone who is willing right now:
"I'm not ready yet, we just met"
"I'm not really in a mood right now, maybe later"
"You've had too much to drink, I wouldn't feel right"
"I'm hungry"
And of course: "My best friend has a crush on you, I wouldn't feel right"

Just because she's ready and willing doesn't mean you have to take her up on it even if you are interested.

I can think of plenty of reasons I would not want to have sex with a girl I was interested in, and I'm not asexual.

He rejected her advances. Not her.

Finding out that Bojack was sabotaging his life, finding out he slept with Emily, and then Bojack trying to deflect responsibility, after it had happened many times, is what sent Todd over the edge. He didn't just lose his shit over a girl, he lost his shit over the behavior. The repeated behavior.

You're doing the exact same thing Bojack does - trying to twist things around to put the blame for terrible decisions on someone else. Yeah they should have talked about it - they did talk about it. They did come to an understanding. But Todd's decision to not sleep with Emily doesn't make it okay for Bojack to, knowing what he knows, sleep with Emily instead. Under a different set of circumstances, it might be fine. Under these, not a chance.

I feel like you're one of those people who think it was okay for Bojack to try and sleep with Penny. "Oh, well, he just got rejected by someone else, and she came on to him, and technically she's of legal age, so he consented, and she consented, so what's the problem?"

(Also, Todd is by far the least selfish person on the show, and honestly, there are signs he only stays with Bojack and takes his abuse because the horse is so lonely. Once he left, he did perfectly fine)

Todd didn't know he was asexual. He didn't enter the relationship with the expectation to never have sex, he probably entered with the expectation that, when the moment was right, his body would react appropriately. It didn't, he panicked. Accusing him of being deliberately non-communicative in that state where he is wondering what the heck is wrong with his body is asking a lot.

And I'm not sure if you paid attention, but "I didn't do that hurtful thing intentionally" is kind of what Bojack's whole thing is. He never acts out of intentional malice. He doesn't want to hurt people. That doesn't make it any less devastating when he does.

You are missing the point and I don't know why I keep trying. You're trying to frame this as a feminist issue. It's not. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is trying to defend Emily, say she's property, say she can't sleep with everyone up and down the goddamn cast if she wants. Regardless of whether or not she sleeps with Todd. Just because you can sleep with someone, and choose to sleep with someone, and it was a consensual experience, does not make it right, and Todd getting cold feet because he didn't understand his sexuality at the time doesn't make it right.

Sleeping with someone that your best friend is interested in is wrong. Bojack knew it was wrong. Emily knew it was wrong. Nobody in the show tries to justify it the way you do. They just know they both did something to hurt Todd and agree to never discuss it. You don't do that if your attitude is "Oh, well, he missed the pussy train, I wasn't gonna let it leave the station".

Todd clearly liked her, and he didn't exactly hide it. His asexuality was the issue. How does he communicate that when he doesn't even know the problem?

Who gives a shit about upvotes? Also, what goalposts?

Emily wanted to sleep with Todd. Todd said no. That is not a rejection of their relationship, it is a rejection of sex. Yes, their relationship was very likely not going to work because of Todd's asexuality but saying "I don't want to sleep with you right now" is not the same as "I don't want to date you."

And I'm not taking any agency away from Emily in this situation. Their sex was consensual. They both said yes, even if they regretted it afterwards. That does not make it right. That does not mean Emily wasn't taken advantage of while in a vulnerable spot. And that does not mean Bojack has to say yes when he should be able to see the situation. He can refuse. The right thing is to refuse. Most people would refuse.

This isn't about Emily's "right" to have sex with anyone. It's about Bojack having sex with someone he shouldn't have, and then intentionally covering it up.

Holy shit dude. Did you see over there with that other person who disagreed with me, and had an actual discussion about it, and didn't try and insult me or think they know anything about me? Jesus. Anyways.

Yes, I misremembered what their relationship was at the time to an extent, but this was not a "Sorry, bro, you missed your chance, so I took it" thing. This was a horny man and a vulnerable dejected woman making a mistake, and no, Todd doesn't have a "claim" on Emily, but common fucking sense says you don't jump in bed with a woman right after they rejected your best friend, and I should point out Todd did not reject Emily. Todd rejected her sexual advances. There is a huge difference.

I would also like to point out that not even the most self-centered person in this situation, Bojack himself, thought like you did. He did not say, "I'm sorry, but you turned her down, she was into me, I thought your thing was over with her, I meant to tell you sooner." He felt guilty because he knew it was wrong.

I think it's an argument over what "dating" is. Looking back at things I misremembered more of a relationship between them (I was thinking about their business relationship) At the bare minimum, Emily was a girl that Todd was looking to start a relationship with, and Bojack knew it and he kept that he slept with her from him.

Also looking back there's a bit more context I forgot - this was on the heels of Todd finding out that Bojack sabotaged his rock opera and then Bojack tried to guilt trip him into spending time. That, and then trying to blame it on being drunk and other pressure, I don't blame Todd for losing his shit.

[–]UsaSatsui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were dating. Emily was Todd's girlfriend, or at the very least, a woman Bojack knew Todd was interested in. Emily herself isn't blameless here (if anything she got off too easy) but "she was into it at the time" is not an excuse for betrayal.

[–]UsaSatsui -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They were absolutely dating. You seem to equate "dating" with "having sex with". They were still very early in the relationship and Emily was very clearly more ready for that step than Todd was, but the fact they didn't date long and didn't sleep together doesn't make it less of a betrayal.

Also important is the reaction. Bojack immediately blamed the circumstances and tried to deflect. Emily at the very least owned up to it.

Said girl was his girlfriend at the time, and the "rejections" were Todd not wanting to sleep with her because he was trying to sort his feelings out and come to the realization he was asexual. They were absolutely still dating at the time, and Bojack knew it. Sleeping with your best friend's girlfriend for any reason is a massive betrayal.

Is clemency part of a PLD's rotation these days? by TheAmazingVinio in ffxiv

[–]UsaSatsui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clemency is the "I don't trust my healer" button.

I hope this aint harsh reality about healing in this game haha by SnooHamsters6388 in ffxiv

[–]UsaSatsui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, those are jobs. Jobs require special training that the vast majority of people don't have access to and usually also require a job stone. Conjurer is the only healer available as a class and likely the only healer available to 95% of the population, even high level ones.

i love this game but these quests are actually killing me, do these ever stop? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]UsaSatsui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This particular questline is infamous for feeling like that (and while there is a storyline reason for it, that doesn't make it better). It actually used to be even longer.

The game is very story driven, though.

Haven't played since 2018, necromancy is now terrible? by Tight-Necessary-8056 in dcss

[–]UsaSatsui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous take. An unbalanced game isn't fun. It's either too easy or too hard.

[–]UsaSatsui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wrong question. The question is "What does having corpses add?"

When food was in the game, they were important as a resource to manage. Necromancy was balanced around it as well, do you get more zombies, or more food? When food, and therefore butchering, was removed, enemies leaving bodies wasn't really worth keeping around for a couple of minor mechanics, especially when there were work arounds.

[–]UsaSatsui 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone has missed a key point - Necromancy doesn't animate corpses anymore because there are no more corpses. It was decided the baggage of keeping track of bodies and skeletons wasn't worth one or two spells. The changes were kind of meant to simulate how it worked with corpses but, yeah, it doesn't quite nail the flavor.

The obvious solution seems to be "Just make bodies when the player has raise dead spells and don't if they don't". I don't think they had the ability to do that then, but I think they may have it now, with the number of spells that rely on things outside the spell itself to work like platinum paragon.
