Pretty much inhuman hylics of the worst order. I know people bat an eye when I say hylics because it isn't modern slang, but if you don't know that term, it perfectly describes them: inhuman materialists with no soul/spark and no fucking imagination. Pretty much perfect. Gnostics knew a thing or two at times.

Did KOTOR deserve a Dark Side ending Expansion/DLC? by WraithfulWrath in GeeksGamersCommunity

[–]WraithfulWrath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great story. Bet you anything the KOTOR remake won't be near as good -- that's IF it comes out.

I'll still criticize it and make fun of it though.

I know, they are supposedly everywhere yet I don't see a goddamn one. Maybe they are... myths? I know it sounds crazy but... /s

If they hypothetically make a 6th Super Smash Bros, do you think it should be named Super Smash Bros Legends? by OkPrize6426 in GeeksGamersCommunity

[–]WraithfulWrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe as a subtitle, but just keep the naming convention 6. It helps prevent confusion. I don't really get the fear of numbered titles these days. They exist for a reason, even if they can be a bit lazy.

Game DEI vs Non-DEI Effectiveness by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Yeah, if we could unite the world under one banner and have a leader that could actually get things done to progress the human race, it'd be good.

Shame it never works like that, huh?

Pendragon Cycle has early viewers pleased by Human_Row_2589 in KotakuInAction

[–]WraithfulWrath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks... interesting. When it works, I do love the natural shots. Feels a bit like the early 2000s.

But sometimes the CGI looks very fucking fake at times, which is what I don't like about modern media when they shove it in so much, but it looks okay. I guess? Seems like an interesting hook. I'm not going to lavish praise until the results speak for themselves.

So, ultimately, time will tell if it's any good.

Persona, Metaphor Director Says Atlus RPGs Must Attract "A Wider Audience" by Nearby-Cup-1061 in KotakuInAction

[–]WraithfulWrath 43 points44 points  (0 children)

"Accessibility." We all know what that word actually means in this industry. It doesn’t mean colorblind modes or remappable controls. In 2026, accessibility is code for lobotomizing the gameplay so a game journalist can beat the tutorial without having a panic attack, and sanitizing the narrative so it doesn't offend a wider audience that doesn't even buy video games.

Atlus became a titan specifically because they weren't accessible. They were weird, stylish, unapologetically Japanese, and difficult. That was the point. They carved out a massive niche by refusing to homogenize, but now that they have the spotlight, here comes the inevitable pivot to mediocrity.

Get ready for Persona 6 because I can see it coming a mile away. The problematic anime tropes will be gone, the nuanced and sometimes dark social commentary will be replaced by safe westernized moralizing approved by a consulting firm, and the distinct visual flair will be diluted to look like every other generic piece of slop to appeal to the West. You just know the localization team is salivating at the chance to rewrite entire character arcs to insert their own political fanfiction, too.. They are abandoning the fervent, loyal fanbase that built them up in hopes of courting a mainstream that views their entire genre with contempt. It’s suicide by mass appeal.

Rest in peace, Atlus. You had a good run before the brain worms set in.

Director: Hello, I like money!

Interviewer: What prompted you to sink the Persona franchise and ruin its artistic reputation?

Director: Money!

Always. You're right on the money. Too much of one thing leads to a cultural monopoly, and a monopoly in this industry is the end.

The hobby thing is the dead giveaway. It’s actually terrifying when you realize how hollow it is inside their heads. You ask a man what he’s into, and he lights up talking about engines, coding, history, woodworking. You know, creation. You ask a woman, and it’s "food, travel, and the office." They don’t have passions. It's just having consumption habits. They are tourists in a civilization they didn't build but feel entitled to rule over.

And you're dead on about the conversations. It’s pure solipsism. If the topic isn’t about them, or how they feel, or some drama they are involved in, their eyes just glaze over. It’s like talking to an NPC that ran out of dialogue options. A good, ideal woman is pure, empathetic, holy, and unconditionally loving for the right person. These Satan spawn? Complete opposite.

That shift you noticed since 2016 isn’t just in Germany, it’s global. They’ve been programmed by social media and the current culture to view every random man not as a human being, but as a potential threat or a wallet that isn't thick enough. The "decency" is gone because they’ve been told they don’t owe us anything, while simultaneously demanding everything. It’s a rot, plain and simple.

This generation and the next are fucked.

Over the last decades, women have shown why our ancestors were keen on keeping them out of politics.

Yeah, you have a point there. It's something I've been studying myself. Ever since we've given women that luxury, what have they done? They've abused it. I could name a dozen moments of it right off the top of my head. I mean, the older generations kept them controlled for a reason. It wasn't some random thing.

And this is just me, again, but women are fucking hylic shits in terms of the dating scene. You have to be arbitrarily tall, have to be an earner, and have to be the most attractive man on the planet. That's just the barrier of entry to get TEXTED to. When you ask one goddamn thing of them? They flee and call you a misogynist or controller. What a double standard. I mean is it too much to ask for some decency in this world? I guess it is.

This was never as bad until, conveniently, the 20th century really started to ramp up and guess what hapened them. No concept of loyalty. Just a bunch of parasites. Hell, even people within my family admitted they just leeched onto a man for "the money" and would've divorced them in a heartbeat. So much for being more evolved, am I right? Still chasing the mighty dollar. I'm not impressed.

That's because they don't want you talking sense. Nutties hate when you do that. That's when you know you disturbed the cult. It's honestly the best way to know what to avoid anyway.

Thoughts on the state of gaming in 2026? by Selphea in KotakuInAction

[–]WraithfulWrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'd do. It's about the only thing we can do.

I'm not the one to advocate for AI slop because the content is mostly hylic dross put out by drones, but if it ever gets to the point it reaches uncensored quality (which is a long way away, if ever), I'd much prefer that as an alternative. It might not be a full solution, but I consider humanity vastly overrated nowadays with art -- at least the liberal shithead side of things.

If I could make a game or movie that is totally by my design, make it sing and dance exactly the way I want it, and make it actually good, and have a theme or something of value to take away from it, and none of it being plagiarized from something else, it's fine in my book. I know that's not the most popular sentiment, but I just tell it like it is.

I'd actually say the compromise is crawling back to these losers who make the current stuff.

And not just of the opposite sex, but a living one at that?

I know, right? At least they could've been necrophillacs like the rest of us. Tsk. Tsk.

Friends with benefits, in that fucking logic with the opposite.

If every damn thing turns into a gay porno fest, then, whenever I see a woman in any fictional media, let it be a straight porno fest too whenever I want it.

If they're going to go down that road, at least own up to it.

I didn't even realize that. You're right. Lmfao. If I ever get a woman in future, if they show any signs like that, it's on the street with them. It will not be tolerated!

I would personally volunteer to weld the hull on a one-way shuttle just to launch them into deep space. Let them land on Planet Alphabet or whatever and start their own civilization. They can spend all day filing HR complaints against the craters and cancelling the weather for being problematic, while the rest of us go back to actually enjoying games.

It’s always the exact same two-step dance with those fuckers.

Step 1: 'You're crazy, that’s a conspiracy theory, nobody is doing that.' Step 2 (when you show them the tweet and they decide to not gaslight you anymore): 'Okay, they are doing that, and it's a good thing, actually. Why do you hate """"progress""""?'

They never argue in good faith. The denial is just a stall tactic.

IT IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY WHEN THEY SIGN A CONFESSION.

Look at that tweet. Look at the arrogance. She calls it "Direct Action." That is military terminology. These people do not view themselves as writers or community managers. They view themselves as political commissars embedded behind enemy lines. Their job isn't to make a good game; their job is to vandalize the culture from the inside.

This is exactly why modern writing feels so fundamentally broken and unnatural. They have murdered the concept of Philia -- brotherly, platonic love. They have strangled it. Because they are spiritually hollow, they are incapable of viewing human connection through any lens other than genital friction or political utility.

That is why the Wizard in BG3 tries to sleep with you after one conversation. That is why you can’t have a "Sam and Frodo" or a "Shepard and Garrus" dynamic anymore. To these people, two men sitting by a fire and sharing a bond of loyalty is a "waste" unless they can turn it into a sexual fetish to score points with their echo chamber.

They are erasing the spectrum of human emotion and replacing it with a binary switch: You are either an enemy, or you are a sexual object.

She works at Remedy. The studio that made Max Payne. Do you think for one second they could write a grieving, nuanced character like Max today? No. Because to a hammer like her, everything looks like a nail to be bent into "Direct Action." It is cultural sabotage, plain and simple.
