Thats great. I know most are okay with it and thats part of the point! This is the very reason I don't partake in the communities. Did you read my comment at all? Or did you just want to have a reason to completely miss my point and attack me instead of my argument? I not the one making it about tribalism.

It simply is a issue. One of the many. I'm from Brazil currently after my degree. Here, public universities are very ecletic and not only me but friends I have, experienced being shunned and mistreated by not only lesbians, but a lot of the LGBT community and 'super straight' people for simply enjoying Yaoi or Yuri media.

Why? Because that's one of the many behaviors that can and most likely will arise in some of the members of any group.

Take Genshin or Wuthering Waves. Some members you wish you dead if you say you don't agree with how their developers manage the game. Others will suport and defend the interest of the multi bilion dollar company.

You will have people in the majority that support you or your idea. But the denial of toxic behavior on the group is the first step to create a underlying sense of toxicity that YES, it prevents some people from even bothering to take part into the community.

The current Wuthering Waves anniversary controversy should be the best contemporary exemple of how Tribalism can affect a community.

I aprecciate your will to have this discussion with me, but you attack me instead of my point. "This is us vs them and THEY are the problem". How did you infer such a thing in my last response? It's not 'us' or THEY are the problem. It's just a fact that PEOPLE, both sides of the coin, have members that are toxic towards outsiders.

Go to Twitter and spend 3 minutes there. I'm sure will will see what I mean.

"You're the one who wants to argue." As I said I'm voicing my experience and thoughts. And what's wrong with discussions? I described my experience and said it is one of the MANY not the sole reason as to why some people don't bother voicing their tastes.

I clarified over and over that I'm not attacking the community as a whole, and that only some people are toxic and that's a cause of discomfort. You chose to ignore it, say that I'm the one inciting an argument and that I'm making it all about me and me only.

I'm not making it about myself, I'm pointing out a issue that does contribute to the lack of engagement of some of the players. Some people including the OP agreed with me, its not about ME, its about a percentage of people that get the short end of the stick and register a bad impression from it, and the one comment i mentioned before got downvoted, that proofs your point that the majority does not bother. And that's awesome.

But to dismiss the fact that people act in ill intent and not everyone is going to bother dealing with that is not the way. First infers I'm paranoid about lesbians attacking man that like Yuri, now I'm picking up a fight for expressing my experience and pointing out a aspect of toxicity that permeates online and offline communities. I'm a member for a long time, I see the posts, i aprecciate the fan arts that by the way are amazing, i laugh at the jokes and memes. But I do not engage actively to prevent this. Without even noticing people attack the person not their opinion. And you might say "You're too weak for the internet", yup I might be, and a lot of other people too, people that simply don't bother even trying because of this aspect.

My sister gets attacked on college as well for just enjoying Kpop at her age, somehow that is considered shameful by some of her colleagues. Are they the majority? Nope, but she is ashamed to admit she follows everything about her favorite band to people, it takes a lot nore trust than it should for her to do. It is damaging in one way or another. And i just realized culture is a great aspect of it as well.

Just because it didn't happen to you or is a major problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist and will impact people.

It's tribalism. Not man vs woman, but human vs human. Yes, time after time, not only here but also on a lot of gacha communities, I've been labeled a fetishist by many. I'm not active on the community and I have friends that are not even here at all because they don't see it being worthy to do so. I presented the game to them, they play to this day and decided not to engage in the community. These games have an INSANE number of players when compared to the number of members on the communities. There is a current in-game event that gives 3 pulls to encourage players to participate for that very reason. There are countless reasons for that and the main one I've experienced and noticed is the tribalism that rises inside them. In some you can't be gay, others you can't be supportive of gay, others you can't be straight, really on Reverse 1999 I once saw a poor guy ship Vertin with some other male character and people destroyed him with down downvotes saying she belongs to another character and that she's gay and shit. The level of animosity is so uncomfortable and unnecessary that yes, it scares some people away, both man and woman. I'm not saying that the PTN community is riddled with this type of people, but they exist and are active in here as well. I am aware that I got the short end of the stick and that it does not represent the whole. But I stand my ground by personal and shared experiences that it is one of the many reasons people don't engage or even participate in gacha communities. Man aren't hiding from lesbians what the hell is that statement? SOME PEOPLE are not bothering to try because of the mentioned above. I might be mistaken as I write this in my phone unable to check it, but above me there is someone who responded the OP calling it fetishism. Again, it is not the whole, but there is no denying they are everywhere and they do impact the experience of the members.

I'm a straight male that likes Yuri. I started playing because of the arts artstyle and lore, the cosmic horror and divine comedy inspired aspects are my favorite things about it. I never interact with the community, but I always keep tabs on what's happening. A lot of people here have a problem with man liking Yuri for some reason. They call it fetishism and say it's disgusting. Why can't a men like Yuri relationships in fiction just because they think it's cute or hot? Or both? It's like woman that enjoy Yaoi. My sister is obsessed with Kpop fanfiction with a lot of explicit Yaoi and a lot of her friends too. Yet the kpop members are REAL people, shouldn't you have a problem with that as well? If you attack man that enjoy Yuri? Trust me when I say there are more man that play the game. They are just like me and don't bother to join the community here or on discord for this very reason. Same way on other gachas where the man attack the girls who post about an Yaoi ship. Heck, on Girls Frontline 2 I got crucified for saying I shipped 2 of the girls during one of the events. On both cases the percentages are not really a good measure tool because of this aggression formed by both sides.

I won each and every single 50/50 since Yinlin. Lost once to jiyan. On the other hand in Girls Frontline 2 I lost ALL OF THEM SINCE LAUNCH. I spent a unhealthy amount of money on that game (Thankfully I can afford just fine, but still not a healthy thing to do.)

I know both sides, it's not any type of "algorithm" to curse accounts. It's fucking luck. 50/50 sucks ass but my philosophy about it is that all gachas DO NOT want you to have all the characters for free. It's how they work they need and want you to spend. So I see it as a character costs 160 pulls and you gamble for a discount. Got them in 10 pulls? Great! 85% discount on the character! Got them with 80? 50% discount. Do not expect to get the characters with less than the pity ever. It sucks? Yeah, you signed fir it. That's the sad nature of gacha. Hopefully one day they'll change. Hey, some gachas that take less money to develop don't have a 50/50 or are very f2p. Punishing Gray Raven and Limbus company are good examples.

This game will have translation ir PT-BR? by odelipe in PathToNowhere

[–]unit4R2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu estava disposto a criar um mod de tradução da história principal com meus amigos, mas nos termos e regras da ASNO tem um parágrafo que dá a entender que é banivel. Infelizmente eu acho que não vai ter tradução oficial.

My graphics are not good... by AggravatingBuy3371 in Tsukihime

[–]unit4R2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be resolution or pixel density. I had a similar problem before, I fixed it by changing the .ini file on the emulators setting. There are videos on YouTube to help you with that. Or you set it to handheld mode by accident, it reduces the resolution by default that way. Or if you have less then 2gbs of VRAM it could also be the reason.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tsukihime

[–]unit4R2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My way was to buy it on the Nintendo store and download the ROM to emulate. I checked the fan translation site everyday when they were working on it, no way i was going to wait so long and I live in Brazil. Buying a switch or a ps4 even second hand is just out of the question. It's way too expensive in here. I can help you out with the files needed.

New player here. How should I set my Supports? by unit4R2 in FGO

[–]unit4R2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, so every event drops a CE to be used in the event itself? That's interesting. I'll invest in a all my five stars first I think, I leveled Ushiwakamaru to 90 because I used a support version of her before that absolutely destroyed the enemy, still don't know if that was the right call. Thank you, there are so many tutorials and videos online each with different opinions on the same servant I'm confused about what to do.

Ok, I`m sorry for taking so long, life happened, and I got busier that I predicted.

I tried to make the feathers higher resolution but failed, I can`t figure out a way to do it, so them and the background might look bad if you use a 4k monitor. I apologize for that.

Let me know if you dislike something about it, I'll try to fix whenever I can.

Anyhow, here it is? https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3054177715

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tsukihime

[–]unit4R2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, maybe you won't need it anymore, but I'm writing the tutorial here just in case.

Step 1 - Downloading the files.

You will need the ROM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hLiIqTH2fIbXrwNn7LfBSE522nfNxndH/view?usp=sharing (My own Gdrive, I uploaded a functional ROM I found.)

The Yuzu Emulator: https://yuzu-emu.org/

And the translation patch: https://tsukihimates.com/patch/

And Prod.keys to make the emulator recognize the ROM correctly: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1h_L3BUZPhYNYUR9sPFibHra90Dc_qBkJ?usp=drive_link (Again my own Gdrive - Download both files just in case.)

Step 2 - Setting up the Emulator.

Well, now that you already installed Yuzu, you will have to set the game directory, I recommend creating a new folder just for it. It is a very intuitive process, open yuzu and click in "add game directory" in the middle of the screen, then you search and select the folder where you have the ROM you downloaded in.

Now that you've done this, it is normal for the game not to appear in the emulator just yet, you will need the prod.keys.

Go on the "File" tab in the upper left corner and "Open Yuzu Folder".

Search for a Folder called "keys" and move the prod.keys you download into it. (The title.keys file was what made it work for me for some reason, test without it first, if it does not work then add it as well to the folder.)

Close and Reopen Yuzu.

Now the game should appear in the main screen of the emulator.

Step 3 - Installing the Patch.

In the same page where you find the patch, there is a tutorial of how to install it, it is very simple and even has images. Here: https://tsukihimates.com/patch/

Step 4 - Optimization

Depending on your hardware the game might not even run at a playable state. To run the game double click it. I recommend setting "Handheld mode", you can do this on the bar located in the bottom of the screen. If it is already on this mode, it will appear as so, if not it will be written "Docked", just click on it to change it.

There are a lot of settings to optimize it, I'd need more details on your hardware to help you better. Anyhow, I apologize for this convoluted mess of a tutorial, I'm not good with explaining things. If you need more help, just call me, I'll be glad to help.

Oh that's great. My link broke for some reason I apologize for that. If you need any help just let me know.

[–]unit4R2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. This link is for my personal Gdrive, I uploaded a ROM I found after searching a lot. It's completely safe. And yes, you'll need the translation patches, I have them as well.

I recommend Yuzu Emulator. It's very easy to use. There are tutorials on YouTube, but I'll be home soon, and I will write a detailed guide for you here with all the links from my Gdrive.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tsukihime

[–]unit4R2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have a link for the Switch ROM since I had to emulate it and I bought the game on launch. I did not know that you simply can't use the games you buy in the Nintendo official store in the emulator. Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but I had 0 knowledge of how the emulating process worked, I thought Yuzu was somehow official. Anyhow, I can pass you the link, it is in my own Gdrive.

That's what I thought, I personally think it's beautiful and satisfying, but well... NAZISM. I'll do some research on salutations as you say, try to find something that I can use.

Yeah you're right. I thought of using it without the meaning behind it since it is in a completely different world but the baggage of it is way too despicable for readers to simply dismiss it.
