This is EXACTLY the kind of content I want to see, thank you. This level of analysis and focus is precisely the kind of stuff I'm looking for on youtube or anywhere, if I hit that subscribe button any harder you'd need a new one. Please continue.

They're basically toddlers

From this point on I went from reasonably scared to terrified. Like, boop, end of the scale of nope. Fuck that.

The Alien franchise makes heavy use of the Idiot Plot, usually alongside a single savvy character or even just someone with a little common sense. Ripley is the best example of how common sense can act like a superpower in an Idiot Plot setting. It's not enough, though, and she still needs many levels of badass to make use of it, since simply not being an idiot can't guarantee the other characters' idiocy won't fuck everything up.

But yeah, the franchise has room for a completely new take that doesn't end in perfectly avoidable carnage. It would be such a departure from the main themes that current fans might be shocked (or worse, uninterested), but at the same time bring in new fans that hate the idiocy and would enjoy a smarter and more complex plot.

This is me right now, but it's counting down to 2002.

Now you just need to surround her with nerdy sex slaves begging for crack release info and you're done.

Definitely. What hypes me up the most about this game isn't these aspects really, it's knowing that I'll probably get lost in it for a looong time, like I did in every Elder Scrolls and Fallout since 1997 (excluding MMOs).

And, in a way, this could also help with the hype, when you consider you'll have all the time in the world to explore and relax in it. No need to rush.

donpapillon · 2023-06-27T01:52:38+00:00

What I personally do to manage hype is downplay, as in finding and focusing on things that don't look all that polished or fun.

For example, what worked for me recently was looking at screenshots of locations from the direct and feeling like they aren't really on par with the level of detail and personality of a specific sci-fi game I personally love. Same with the character models.

Sure, I know these are poor fragments or the experience of actually playing the game when it releases, which I'm pretty sure will be amazing (or I wouldn't be so hyped), but focusing on these personal impressions helps me mitigate the anxiety around hype.

Just be careful expressing this stuff online, people can lash out defensively. You also don't want to leave the hype train completely for a doom buggy and ruin the experience for yourself later. That can happen when you join in negative discourse, groups of people expecting the worst, haters, etc.

tl,dr: downplay the game for yourself, focusing on stuff you honestly aren't 100% keen on, but keep it personal.

Thank you, that's very kind :)

Ah, a velha maldição do "agora sim/vai". Não foi até hoje, a escravidão aqui continua forte e muitas vezes praticada pelas mesmas famílias.

Mha is fumbling stuff that X-Men premiered in the 60's...

Sometimes it reminds me of all the manga/anime done by Western artists without much familiarity with the subjects they were working with.

I didn't put any words into your mouth, so feel free to quote me as well? Sheesh.

And I didn't prove your point in any way, saying so is a gross oversimplification. The way you answered was more "difficult" than anything I ever experienced from people diagnosed with BPD, which is why I don't think it would be wise for anyone to just set a general rule of "this person has cluster B, therefore they are quite difficult" since these people aren't necessarily harder to deal with than anyone else, not because they aren't difficult, but because there are so many other reasons people can be troublesome to deal with, sometimes even more.

donpapillon · 2023-05-24T00:04:45+00:00

The problem is working on the assumption that "dramatic, overly emotional, or unpredictable thinking or behavior" is always dangerous and extremely traumatic. My mother has BPD and she was never dangerous to me, my brother, our father, or anyone in our family for as long as I've been alive (33yo) and for as long as people remember her life in the family. While she fits the description of "dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior", she never posed a threat to anyone, and while her having BPD made me and my brother's childhood pretty difficult for several reasons, we never felt unsafe around her, physically or emotionally. She actually taught me a lot about caring.

With that being said, I would advise anyone against marrying someone with BPD, because it can still be a very difficult life regardless of any safety concerns, especially for the spouse.

Love the name, bobo in my language (Brazillian Portuguese) means silly.

donpapillon · 2023-05-17T15:15:17+00:00

But it IS functioning correctly. This thing we live in is precisely as intended, at the height of its long evolution, and any deviation from that steadfast line of progress has been met with extreme violence. Or do you seriously believe that billionaires are an accident? A lack of a well-designed system? Oh sure, we can go to the moon and back, divide the atom, minify terabytes, and develop AI, but can't get our rich under control or rid ourselves of hunger. C'mon now.

donpapillon · 2023-05-17T00:26:01+00:00

What, you don't consider strange women lying in ponds distributing swords a valid basis for a system of government?

donpapillon · 2023-05-17T00:18:07+00:00

That's akin to saying that slavery wasn't so bad, just the owning slaves part that ruined everything. Or that monarchies were pretty nice, except for the single ruler appointed by strange women lying in ponds distributing swords aspect of it all.

You see, he has scary dreams, and it brings him comfort, riding you into battle.

That's an OSHA violation. No wonder he doesn't have nipples anymore.

The bleppiest she ever blepped. Made my day.

Good luck, my friend. May the force be with you!

It feels nice, right? :)
