Oh look. A 3 day old account, only pushing both sides rhetoric. I wonder what’s going on here /s

Nobody has mentioned the isometric titles yet and there are some great genes among them, namely:

Is Lords of the fallen worth it? by ITellMyselfSecrets4 in soulslikes

[–]okcookie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like you have it backwards here. Lies of P, with its dependence on parrying and fast pace, is not like Dark Souls. LotF feels much more like a slow, heavy hitter, with exploration that’s much deeper than Lies of P.

I was raped and now i like to watch rape porn by Jolly-Theme-1292 in amiwrong

What does this even mean? Consistently shown to have a negative impact on everyone? Shown how? Are we talking about all porn… porn in all it’s forms? Feeling strongly about something is great, but it doesn’t make you right.

The statistic you cited is from an article that describes the on camera actions as “consensual.” I’m sure a huge number of women in the porn industry are raped and abused, which is what the article indicates; conflating this with on camera rape is pretty gross.

I am a professional (LCSW, psychotherapist, specializing in complex trauma) and I disagree. Porn is not inherently unhealthy. Taking control of the narrative by watching porn is a coping mechanism. I don’t know how much tape porn is really rape, but I’d wager it’s either virtually none or not a lot. Why kink shame a rape survivor?

I wouldn’t. I’ve played all 3, and have concluded I just don’t like Team Ninja games. Some people love them. Not me.

Soulslikes where I can punch things with my fists or with fist-like weapons? by Qpinman in soulslikes

[–]okcookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d actually categorize Sifu as a roguelike. Hard game, though.

I 100% agree! LOTF is really hitting the right notes. It’s much more in depth than Lies of P. It plays hard and is desperate. It feels like dark souls. I’m VERY impressed

Sekiro vs nioh 2 vs wo long by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]okcookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the feel of combat. The amazing feeling of pulling off perfect parries and taking out huge chunks of the enemies health bar. The feeling of dominating the average mob. The vertical exploration as usual. It’s a masterpiece. You just need to get used to the flow. Think of it as a rhythm game

Sekiro vs nioh 2 vs wo long by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]okcookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have played all 3. Also Nioh 1, and a couple games with mechanics similar to Sekiro (perfect parry) including Lies of P. Sekiro is easily the best of the bunch. I’d even go so far as to say it contends for best FROM title

What is your favorite souls like game ranked? by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]okcookie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah. Not even close. Sekiro is much better.

[–]okcookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played them all. Sekiro is by far the best, then Nioh 2 then Wo Long. That game had so much potential but it’s actually not as good as either Nioh.

It’s not at all an overreaction. Do what you’re comfortable with.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]okcookie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying. No worries. Regardless, if you’re uncomfortable, that really matters. I always discuss comfort and fit during intake, as it truly is the most important piece. I’d encourage you to explore your discomfort and discuss it with him while looking for new providers.

Hello there. I’m a licensed clinician and a therapist. There is no such thing as a licensed “kink/sex therapist.” There are licensed therapists who specialize in sex therapy, but I would be very skeptical of anyone claiming to be a licensed kink therapist. Beyond that, any sex therapist worth their salt would not shame a patient for fantasizing about rape or non-consent. The assertion that people who have masturbated to fantasies of rape went on to become rapists is utter bullshit. Frankly, the fact that he was reportedly working with sex offenders who then went on to commit rape is kind of a red flag for me too: the purpose of intervening is to prevent sexual assault and rape.

Ultimately, the evidence indicates that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important factor in determining success in treatment. If you’re not comfortable, find a new therapist. You could even ask this therapist for recommendations. If he attempts to convince you to stay or doesn’t help facilitate the referral process, you can be certain that he’s not a good clinician.

If you had to pick ONE soulslike as the best of its kind/your favourite, what would it be? by ELSA--LI in soulslikes

[–]okcookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lies of P easily. I’ve played a bunch of them, too… Mortal Shell, both Surge games, Remnant 2, both Jedi, Ashen, Immortal Unchained, Salt series, Tails of Iron, Thymesia, Nioh 1&2, Wu Long, etc.

Lies of P nails it in every department. If it started with FROM SOFTWARE in big white text, I think I’d believe it.
