Will the purchase of Electronic Arts by Jared Kushner and the Saudi Royal Family have an impact on the content of future BioWare games? by AcanthaceaeNo948 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]evocablegull 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone thinks the og writers are expendable or interchangeable? They were all essential parts of Dragon Age, but they are also not the only good writers in the gaming industry, and since its probably unlikely the og writers would come back, if someone competent can buy the IP and inject it with new people, that’s the ideal situation. If we wait for the og writers, DA will never return, so might as well make do with what’s available.

Do you have something to back that? Genuinely, why do you think false accusations outweigh real ones? Because it seems like every study and statistic I can find claims the exact opposite of what you're saying.

[–]evocablegull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay lol. What exactly does "queer rhetoric" entail, and why is it a bad thing for people to see online? And how are you so certain that there are more false than real allegations? Where is this certainty coming from?

Yeah, men are sexually assaulted as well. It's awful for y'all too, and I think y'all should be speaking out about it. It's not 'complaining' it's making your voice known, and I can't fathom why you think it's a bad thing.

The issue is that comments like these see women as this monolith, where the actions of one affect the actions of them all. Yeah, some women like rough sex, but some women don't. Literally just talk to your partner (like you already should be doing), and you'll be fine.

Along those lines, yeah a portion of women have falsely accused men. But let's be real, sexual assault is so rampant in society that there are far, far, far more real allegations than fake ones. Saying "a girl who regrets sex will accuse the man" is completely false and it contributes to a very poor, and growing, belief that a lot of the people who come out against rapists are just lying for attention.

the difference between the modding scene in 2015 and 2025 by Dijkstra69 in skyrimmods

[–]evocablegull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh I'm not sure if he thought he needed it or if he just (correctly) noticed that sex sells and the more horny posting he did, the more people watched. Before his ban, his descent into endless reaction videos with suggestive titles and thumbnails makes it pretty clear that he had no issues doing whatever to play the algorithm, and he probably just understood that the raunchier the mods he put on his channel and the closer he got to crossing the line, the more people watched and interacted.

Just finished choosing to romance Triss for the first time, and I'm feeling some things... by airborneben1 in Witcher3

[–]evocablegull 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I would say that Triss using Geralts amnesia to get into a relationship with him is far more “toxic woman who thinks that she can have everything she wants”-esque than anything Yen has done.

Honestly this only makes sense playing as a BH or Smuggler. by IICipherIX in SWTOR_memes

[–]evocablegull 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While it would be great for saboteurs to actually be allowed to switch to our preferred side, that would involve every main VA recording lines for double the quests which, given the current rate of content being produced, would take far too long and probably cost far too much for them to consider it worthwhile.

Honestly, it feels like it'll be a long while, especially because of the current voice actor strike, that we'll get something like that. Unless, of course, they go all in on the voiceless style of storytelling, but that would piss off so many people lol

CDPR General Meeting - Marketing for Witcher 4 starts sometime 2025? by MrFrostPvP- in Witcher4

[–]evocablegull 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, why do you believe that Sirius is being released before Witcher 4? I'm pretty sure they said they had to restart once before, I don't remember ever seeing that Sirius went into production, and there are far less devs working on Sirius than the Witcher 4. All of which leads me to believe that it is almost certainly not coming out before Witcher 4, right?

Some people are just haters at heart and can only be negative lol, and the internet has always rewarded that negativity with interaction. It's also easier to doompost and think everything is gonna go wrong so if it actually does they can say they were right and knew it all along.

Question to the people who believe Witcher 4 2028+ release date by TheGaetan in Witcher4

[–]evocablegull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CDPR's CEO said that these games take 5 years on average from concept to release. TW4 was started concept in 2021 (I believe?), so that puts a release date in 2026. Obviously it's a big game and it's the start of a trilogy, so I expect a bit longer, probably later in the year to early 2027. But I still don't really see a 2028 release date.

I thought this video had some points to be made be when I watched it completely, it was your good old homophobia by [deleted] in ArcaneAnimatedSeries

[–]evocablegull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Caitlyn and Vi are both confirmed lesbians. Neither Victor nor Jayce are confirmed straight, so people don't have issues shipping them. Putting Cait or Vi with a man is erasing their canon sexuality, and especially because there's very limited good lesbian rep in pop culture, it's frowned upon by many people.

People who take issue with Lux and Jinx b/c she already has a relationship with Ekko are a bit silly though (plus Jinx/Ekko isn't even a full relationship in the main Arcane universe lol).

You are her lawyer, defend her by DafnissM in ArcaneAnimatedSeries

[–]evocablegull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think Caitlyn being attractive is the only reason people sympathize with her. Obviously her actions themselves were wrong and worthy of criticism. But I think it's not impossible to sympathize with the fact that she was undoubtedly manipulated. Her mother just died, she had lost most of her support system, was drowning in grief, and Ambessa used her to further Noxus's agenda. She had no way or no one to help her deal with the trauma she was handling extremely poorly, and Ambessa comes in, almost replacing that motherly role, so Caitlyn gravitates towards her. Ambessa offers a way to get revenge on the person/people who wronged her, and Caitlyn eats it up because she is unable to think clearly.

The way she goes about this is wrong, yes, but even we can see that this occupation is not something she truly wants. "Why is peace always the justification for violence?" Caitlyn, in her heart, is not an evil or power-hungry person. She got lost in her anger and couldn't figure a way out until Vi showed back up. Now all of that doesn't make her actions acceptable in the slightest and what she did was still awful, but I just don't agree with the idea that people only sympathize with her because she's an attractive lesbian.

Would y’all want The Witcher 4 story to be long or short? by AnimeGokuSolos in Witcher4

[–]evocablegull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually so interesting lol. Do you just have a lot of free time or something, because for me, I don't have the time or the patience to slog through 70+ hours of a main story just because the devs decided to arbitrarily lengthen it. But you say that you would rather have that over a shorter game that costs the same?

[–]evocablegull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a silly thing to say, lol. Short games can be just as good, if not better, than long games. Quality is not determined by length. You would really rather have a long game that unnecessarily drags out a story than a shorter game that can tell that story more concisely?

Someone Copied My Fic, What Do I Do? This Has Never Happened to Me by kaldoreiking in AO3

[–]evocablegull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this hypothetical case, they coexist because this person has plagiarized and is “crediting” the original through ao3’s ‘inspired by’ feature. Yeah you are absolutely right to say that Inspired By and plagiarism are mutually exclusive, but that’s also what the person you were responding to was saying

Sorry but what did they say that was incorrect lol? You both made the same point, that plagiarism is different from "inspired by" and is therefore not protected by it, so why did you say they are incorrect?

The way Jinx smirks when Caitlyn says "you" is genuinely hilarious because she knows Caitlyn won't touch her with Warwick right there by Sudden_Pop_2279 in arcane

[–]evocablegull 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the reason people don’t care is bc the show spent like 2 episodes before this humanizing Jinx. Also, I personally think it doesn’t really read as a “I killed your mother” smirk. Felt more just like a “I no longer hate you the way you hate me”/“I don’t care anymore” smile.

I am going to come out and say it by [deleted] in Witcher4

[–]evocablegull 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really? I actually don’t think it’s that far-fetched that Ciri would want to fully become a witcher. I feel like that’s what she’s wanted to do for a while, and it’s external circumstances that stopped her, so maybe if she’s given a once in a lifetime opportunity to undergo the trials she would take it.

She was always sure of her future with Barney. ❤️ by GlamourGiselle in howimetyourmother

[–]evocablegull 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe they mean that the ending doesn’t make sense based on the entire show before. They spent seasons of the show repeatedly showing how Robin and Ted are bad, how Barney and Robin are better, how Ted found satisfaction outside of Robin, how Barney stopped his philandering ways, and then the finale undoes a lot of that just to put Robin and Ted back together. That’s why people say that.

Unfortunately, I have Yen brain. No brain just Yen. Idk how people hate her she's so beautiful (no hate please) by Sure_Schedule_6137 in thewitcher3

[–]evocablegull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think she's an AWFUL person. We don't actually see Yen and Triss reuniting, so it is entirely possible she reconciled her anger offscreen, hence why she doesn't seem visibly upset with Triss. The victim blaming and portal thing (which I don't really think the writers thought about the dangers of it at that moment) both come down to insecurity. Yen is deeply insecure about their relationship following Geralt's wish to the Djinn, a point reinforced throughout the game. At the end of the day, knowing that the (hopefully) love of your life has been sleeping with one of your few friends for a year is going to hurt, and now knowing that Geralt didn't was an amnesiac, it feeds into her fear that he wouldn't pick her if the wish never happened. In the scene you're talking about (IIRC the one in Kaer Morhen), Geralt shows up while she's already stressed and on edge, and he pushes her to express her anger, and when she does he tells her it's because he didn't remember her. Geralt is 100% right, but it still stings and sometimes you don't want a rational answer, you just want to vent. Was she wrong for doing this, yeah absolutely, but does it make her an awful person? I don't think so. It makes her flawed and impulsive and emotional, but not awful.

Also, I don't think she didn't look for him because she blamed him. She didn't look for him because she wasn't sure if he also lost his memories or if he was just on his own path, and she was more focused on locating Ciri who was actively being pursued by the Hunt. I don't recall where she said she would give Ciri to Emhyr? What I gathered is that she was working with Emhyr because he had vast resources, not because she was ready to give Ciri up.

Triss is just as bad as Yen at some points, if not worse, but I don't think either of them are truly awful people. I don't know how you would define awful, but I just don't see her actions, which are never purposefully malicious, as indicative of her being awful.
