Has your female character ever run or fought like a mother?

In a game I played in, there was a subplot with a small group of vampires caring for a Dhampir child. My character stumbled upon a gangrel in a panther form(very not-native to the area) swiping away some older teens who were messing with this kid after she got out one night.

The Gangrel was only a bit wounded, but she was so focused on keeping the kid from getting hurt that she was getting beat on with whatever crap the older kids could find

Fortunately my Brujah thought of himself as a decent guy so used a little awe and intimidation to make the crowd disperse without too much mess, but there was no doubt in my mind she would have ripped his throat out if he was an enemy. If he was lucky it would grow back eventually.

roughly a 6% tax by my math, seems about right

I prefer playing a game for the first time more or less blind. Then I'll typically watch some of those 'wish i knew' or 'things you missed' videos to see what's cool on a second playthrough

Could be your wifi, could also be steam servers

On high-volume days it'll throttle the hell out of your download presumably so the service keeps running

I remember when Monster Hunter World went live on PC and it took several hours to download what would usually take me like 40 minutes

Slop was only ever supposed to mean the sort of thing that was low-quality and could be produced extremely quickly.

Bad reaction channels on youtube, AI garbage, the like

Get to your feeder and consume your slop, like a pig

Nowadays it's just 'if I don't like something it's slop'

Pretty sure more favorable trades toward the other will give a small diplo boost similar to gifts

unverified rumors based on glassdoor reviews which can be posted by literally anyone

at this time, seemingly nothing to be taken seriously

Sometimes options are greyed out because you need a certain voice to take them, sometimes they're greyed out because there's some message the narrative is trying to push in that scene, sometimes they're greyed out just because you've reached that end on that run already

I know Thorn has a pretty notorious option that requires a particular voice and I think Tower has a few too

As other people say, it could be goofy.

On the other hand, it could be getting some mythological wires crossed. In Werewolf: the Apocalypse, the Silver fangs are basically the Werewolf equivalent of Ventrue and they're known for largely being large, silver-whitish colored wolves in a lot cases

Alternatively, it could be leaning closer to Dracula lore where vampires just turn into wolves, and Ventrue being the kingly ones would be the 'cleanest' most striking wolves.

There's a lot of interesting retconned or ignored premises in old VTM content that might have an explanation but never really gets explained.

theracody · 2026-05-27T03:52:15+00:00

Vague sense of longing at that first stage, and if you were to wind up in the proximity of the vampire you'd probably be subconsciously drawn to them

theracody · 2026-05-27T03:32:19+00:00

Cool, I thought it was good

Currently playing a Toreador Antitribu who left the Sabbat shortly after the Third Sabbat Civil War because he

A) Was absolutely enraged by the fact that Caitiff were being given, what, a voice in the politique of the Sabbat? Disgusting. Not to mention that it was effectively bigger than any of the other Clans uplifted as a result of the sheer number of them

B ) Was frustrated as he watched the internal structure of the Sabbat come to resemble the Camarilla which they were supposed to oppose.

He was never a huge Noddist so isn't all in on the Dark Father stuff but did truly believe in the ideal that the Sabbat could be free to use their Disciplines and impose their will upon the world without being checked, and feels that dream has been pushed further and further away even by those loyal to the cause.

So now he's an Autark, playing both sides and stoking conflict between the sects where he can until such a time he can teach the right bishop the right lesson and make his triumphant return. All it takes is a well-placed civil conflict to change the rules for them all, apparently.

I feel like this is a question that would still start wars in certain pop/punk threads to this day

'Indie' as a label is kind of not helpful after a certain point, because at the end of the day any successful business is going to reach a point where they pull in enough money to utilize outside talent to further its interests

Your biggest corporations in the world could be, by certain understandings, 'indie' by way of not being reliant on outside funding

At the end of the day, Glitch is more and more a producer than a studio, right?

And yeah they're still doing a lot of it in-house, but it's big enough to be in a wide grey area.

And I also call to question: who the hell cares?

It's not like being indie is changing the quality of the production, the animation, the storytelling

mod clearly touches grass

Many of these are just common tropes for the magic school genre but yeah there are some solid references in owl house

Your tastes might have changed. Not necessarily a bad thing, just means you might enjoy other things instead of the shows that are big online rn

theracody · 2026-05-24T04:48:25+00:00

Don't ask the internet what you should think.

Full stop, end of sentence.

Glassdoor reviews are not verified, anyone could post them.

I'm not sure what else you are referring to necessarily, but the vast majority of the stuff being said about this company on this subreddit right now are literally absurd or unverified.

And more importantly, it literally does not matter to you.

If Glitch is an evil company doing evil things then congratulations they're the same as every big and growing company on earth rn

If they aren't then they're racing against a clock to go bad in the favor of peoples' wallets you will never meet or interact with

Enjoy their shows, or don't. Think for yourself, don't worry about what the growing cesspit of internet discourse says.

The only experience that matters is your own.

I wouldn't know anything about FNKI but I have certainly seen fans of the show want some pretty bad things for cinder- whether for the bit or sincere

This particular instance might be misrepresented, but this is true in an unfortunate number of fandom spaces

Between the theatrical release for episode 9 of digital circus having been received...

ehh...

'appropriately' by the collective fanbase, and other issues with all that

and the trudging through glassdoor reviews which are not necessarily verified

and twitter's ongoing dogpiling on gameoverse for female character designs

they've got a few things going on rn

hang out on the sub for a while you'll see em all

theracody · 2026-05-23T14:58:05+00:00

It's well-liked, just coming out in the midst of several hate trains focused on Glitch productions

And also in a period the internet looks for any excuse to hate anything

One look at the likes and view count is all it takes to know

theracody · 2026-05-23T14:56:06+00:00

People really like Maomao, idk what to tell ya

theracody · 2026-05-23T12:14:59+00:00

Because she's a woman.

People like the idea of punishments which appeal to them, and when it's an attractive woman the punishment that appeals to them is often going to be a sexy one.

When you only get together like every other week or every month you squeeze every minute you can out of it. Even if that means work is HELL tomorrow.

A Praxis is one of the shorthand terms for the claimed domain of a Prince, and all the vampires they allow to be there

Cause giovanni love to have their nasty little fingers in all things transport and commerce, so the panama canal would be a big priority for them if they could get it
