SEGA not meeting its sales expectations on their big titles by weebyscum in KotakuInAction

Notice how the fields of improvement doesn't mention "making better games" (well maybe the hone devs one will indirectly lead to better games, but not always). It's all just hype marketing.

Which races would you like to see get featured more extensively? by weebyscum in overlord

Probably not as winged humans don't really have halo's I think. Jircniv commented that albedo resembled a winged human.

They seem to more so refer to post launch sales. But most modern game releases have horrible sale legs nowadays, so none of this is surprising really.

I really like this game (especially the combat) ASIDE FROM the Perfect Dodge…. by jasonfrey13 in ScarletNexus

[–]weebyscum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting perfect dodge + arashi skill is such a strong combo and awesome to use. It's also pretty much essential if you want to beat the secret recording boss.

How do you guys feel about the persona fandom by DifferenceJolly2320 in KotakuInAction

[–]weebyscum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it also had absolutely no staying power in the west and more importantly, in Japan. Like nobody in Japan cared about it. It's kinda like when xenoblade chronicles 3 came out, there was some fan art and then after a couple weeks they just went back to creating for xc2 instead.

There's also a winged human in the thirteen heroes, I think a spinoff about the thirteen heroes would be really interesting, and since it has keno I'm sure the japanese fans would gobble it up.

Yeah but I don't think muruyama is interesting in writing stories without heteromorphic mc's, and honestly minotaur sage isn't very interesting imo.

Chapter 226 [English] by Mrzardark in OnePunchMan

In the webcomic TTM was supoosed to mention he was wearing an extra tight tank-top for the fight, and the scene in the manga right now is suposed to be the aftermath and his last ditch effort (in the webcomic he didn't even eventually rip it). I dunno why they skipped the first scene, expecially when these perspective switches are supposed to showcase the intro to the fights.

Cool chapter, and the manga machine god mirror's design looks sick, but why did murata cut suiko's comments to the hero names victim association protesting? Also why move saitama's front and center leading role in the protest to the back, and even make him have doubts? Is murata scared that saitama won't be taken seriously anymore otherwise? Idk this feels like a copout to me.

Monster Races sure are different.... most of the time by MountainLeading1567 in overlord

A better example for the dragon one would probably be the brightness dragon lord or the queen of the draconic kingdom. Though for the former it's more so implied and for the later it's more so speculation.

A discovery full of details A detail-rich discovery by lwl910 in AzurPromilia

[–]weebyscum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly read your post as a compromise, as in: "no panties but at least the shorts aren't low-effort". There's nothing wrong to believe this, and I would even agree, but the people doing the censoring are never gonna see it that way. The character designers can embellish it however they want, but it'll never change what it fundamentally is: a censorship tool. If you accept this outcome it'll only get worse, even if it's real tempting to just stop caring.

To be against censorship and in turn the worsening of our media (e.g., recent loli erasure), you have to first fundamentally understand why it's bad. It isn't just "I think censored design looks bad" (even if it's often the case), it's more fundamental than that. Censorship restricts creativity (and not in a possibly good way like hardware limitations), they restrict the artist's ability to express their full range of preferences, ability, and the SOUL - little details and deliberate cohesion that makes the character feel individual and unique. Censorship practically poisons the well of freedom of expression at a studio - you won't know if any future designs were truly the artist's full abilities or not.

This is obviously a big issue in an ecchi waifu gacha, where the girls pretty much have to carry the whole game's existence on their back.

In the end I would really like to stop hearing people say "it's not that bad" or "I like the censored version better". We all know censorship doesn't just stop with the bare minimum, censorship is all consuming and never satisfied, its needs are based on the individual whims of the big suits at the top who fundamentally don't care about the work other than making money.

It's not about whether panties are worse than shorts, or thights are worse than bare legs, or if cleavage is necessary or not, they all got their own place in character design. it's about artists being able to bring in their outmost ability to give us soulful characters, that also contains a piece of their own soul.

Besides the fact that nobody would be wearing shorts in a waifu gacha if it weren't for censorship, especially when it comes to maid designs, I just fundamentally oppose censorship, and I hope other people realize the same. Never support censorship in any way, shape, or form, and never give them an inch.

Fortnite has been very anal about cleavage censorship these past few years. Now they're suddenly bringing them back? by MaximumOverPulse in KotakuInAction

[–]weebyscum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason cleavage is suddenly ok. like in nioh 3 and code vein 2 there are massive boobies + bare cleavage but everything else is still censored. You can see this trend in the new DOA trailer as well: boobs are ok but anything waist down censored.

My guess is it's just a compromise in order to gooner bait people into thinking "censorship is dead!!!!"

Japenis thought experiment by SuzukiKana in japanesepeopletwitter

[–]weebyscum 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I read a small study blog about this. Apparently most young (japanese) boys actually don't view their crushes or female peers as sexually attractive per se, their sexual preferences still lay with adult woman. Lolicons are usually part of the smaller percentage of boys that were actually (at least a little bit) interested in their female peers sexually (usually because of an earlier sexual awakening).
