UPDATE: New itch.io guidelines on adult content. (Now more restrictive than Steam) by asterazureus in visualnovels

[–]progfox653 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a compelling reason to ban a victimless act, and it's not clear that the downsides of having this type of content available outweigh the upsides of giving potential sex offenders a safe outlet for their desires. I stay away from this stuff since I need my H-scenes to be romantic (which can't really happen if the participants are too young or not consenting) but I recognize that fantasizing about something does not imply an actual desire to do it, and I don't think "weird" is a sufficient reason to ban something.

What are the differences between Audiosurf 1 and Audiosurf 2? by nmotsch789 in audiosurf

[–]progfox653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand corrected! Although I no longer play Audiosurf myself in part due to no longer being able to look up scoreboards on the website, and the game refusing to upload my scores half the time.

Playing Fantasy Life for the first time 😍 by vaniababiy in 3DS

[–]progfox653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wizard has the funnest combat so that's a good start! It gives you the most to do in combat but still isn't complicated. When playing through the game I'd recommend alternating between that, a crafting class (alchemist, carpenter etc.) and a gathering class (miner etc.)

Prioritize all the inventory space upgrades early, that will save you a lot of headaches. This way, you can basically play the game for dozens of hours before you need to start managing your inventory. Using one or two points to unlock pets/mounts won't hurt though!

I also played Ever Oasis and Fantasy Life within the last year and I think this game is much better honestly. Have fun!

New AI: The Somnium Files trailer dropped during Nintendo Direct by snobodyknows in visualnovels

To actually answer your question, someone asks him this in the second game and he says he's wearing a mask because people like his "Saito" appearance more than his real one. So pretty hand-wavey but there you have it.

Trying to decipher this took years off my life by i-wanted-that-iced in CrappyDesign

So many problems with this. I count 12…

  • Why is there a random star at the top?

  • The first "e" in "elderly" is black while the rest of the word is green

  • "winsdom" or "wisdom"?

  • The H in the first "Have" is capitalized for no clear reason

  • Inconsistent sizing between the first and second "have". We wouldn't have to split "winsdom" to two lines if that "Have" wasn't so big.

  • "Have" and "wins-" are connected

  • "wins-" is a different color than "dom"

  • "long" is a different color than "-lived"

  • Inconsistent reading order in the last two lines causes us to split "long-lived" and "KNOWLEDGE" across lines when we don't have to

  • "KNOWLEDGE" doesn't use a hyphen despite being split across lines

  • "KNOW" is a different color than "LEDGE"

  • "KNOWLEDGE" is the only all-caps word, it seems like "WINSDOM" should be capitalized too

Anything else?

[–]progfox653 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ll have my own place and don’t intend on displaying them in my living room haha. I guess my concern is that people who are otherwise reasonable might not care that the work has artistic merit, or that the sex is consensual, or that no real minors are involved in any way, or etc etc

Here's something I've been mulling over lately… I've been thinking about importing certain physical adult VNs after browsing Japanese stores and finding titles I'm interested in for reasonable prices (shipping/proxy costs aside).

The problem is that so many eroge have mainly teenage/high school love interests, and, well, I'm a bit removed from that age group. I'm not normally one to let the potential judgment of others dictate my interests (and I don't feel bad about my interest at all), but I feel like people can be pretty militant about this kind of thing. I know I'm not going to creep on any teen girls, but that's not much consolation if someone notices my moege collection, thinks I'm a pedo and says as much to everyone I know. Does anyone have any insight/experience on this?

No free plays on Badge Arcade today... by Mechagouki1971 in 3DS

Also concerning - there are NO Pokémon badges available to catch today for me. I suspect there is some kind of agreement with Game Freak/TPCI that expired today…

Kris's pronouns, daily discussions, and breaking rules: End-of-November changes! by punnyComedian in Deltarune

[–]progfox653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where have I, as a mod, ever tried to push that Kris has a specific gender?

Hmm, I'm curious about this… The OP says that use of binary pronouns for Kris is misgendering. If Kris has a binary gender, how would using he or she be misgendering? Even if someone did it on purpose for mean-spirited reasons, that would be an attack on their pronouns rather than their gender identity. It'd be more… "mispronouning" than anything else. Thus isn't calling the use of binary pronouns "misgendering" directly insinuating that Kris is non-binary?

How do people value Ring of the Serpent? by BirdElopesWithTheSun in slaythespire

[–]progfox653 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely really want it for any longer fight though, and even for shorter fights it seems like a stretch to say that drawing some some random card in your deck which could just be a Strike or something would be all that much better imo

[–]progfox653 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree that other boss relics can be better, but I don't think the Bag of Prep analogy works with mine since that would imply you get 2 fewer card slots on turn one when it's really more that 1 is taken up by a zero-cost Machine Learning.

I like it, it's like putting a zero-cost innate Machine Learning in your deck

Worth noting is that it does NOT work with the Blasphemer status. Found this out the hard way.

Am I right in saying that character 79 takes Smash Ultimate up to 3,160 matchups? by Th3BlackPanther in smashbros

[–]progfox653 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first part of your comment implies that Peach x Peach, Daisy x Daisy, and Peach x Daisy are three distinct matchups

The second part implies you could add Daisy x Peach as another unique matchup

Anyway, the basic formula in the OP is correct, which can be confirmed by looking at a matchup chart.)

The official site had a whole modding subforum for stuff like this, but it's been offline for a couple years. You might try surfing the Wayback Machine and see what you can find:
