no see what’s so strange about this shape is it only has one side. because it’s a squashed cylinder.

if violet is trying to entrap people, they’re really bad at it, since they’ve repeatedly stated that they don’t want dms and will never post any of their own pictures online ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 2 days ago:
it’s fine to go to the movies alone. make it an evening just for you. buy an irresponsible amount of snacks and just get lost in it.

so you completely misunderstood my meaning. that’s fine, i should have expressed myself better.
i am not describing the character as an exhibitionist, nor am i saying that the people who enjoy the character are into that. i’m saying that the creator of the character intentionally designed her according to his tastes, context be damned. and he designed her to be a character that enjoys showing of her body, or at least acts like it.
people are not into a specific thing just because they like something that incorporates that thing. however if you intentionally put that thing into your work, especially when it clashes with the rest of it, you definitely are into that thing.
also you linked a wikipedda article about a psychologic disorder, not about the fetish. they are two different things, one way more serious than the other.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 2 days ago:
not sure how to answer that actually.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
okay, then explain the alternative interpretation of the context. explain to me what i should be picking up from these unqualified statements that i am not.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
wow, good analysis. genuinely, you managed to de-escalate any tension before it appeared.
the reason i’m talking about framing is that that’s what the thread is about. saying “i enjoy attractive ladies in games” in this thread is implicitly in the context provided by the OPs image; the implicit sentence here is “personally i had no problem with quiet in particular”. my original pushback was that context matters, and that the stated reason something is made needs to be taken into account. like, since kojimbo stated that there was a very good reason for her to act and dress like she does, the fact that the reason is bad makes the decision worse. that’s a hole he has written himself into, it’s a very weird inclusion, and the fact he keeps defending the decision just makes it weirder.
i also like sexy women in my games, but i’m not the kind of person to just slap nude mods onto tomb raider or resident evil. there is a time and a place.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
hmm, maybe. the basic reason is the same, but caring about world coherency means it’s not just a matter of titillation.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
look ricky, i know you’re reasonable. we’re not talking about the character in a vacuum, we’re talking about kojimas extreme defense of what would otherwise have been accepted as just standard fanservice, and the fact that the excuse was so flimsy. quiet doesn’t fit into her setting, sure. that happens in a lot of japanese media. but kojima made such a big deal about it before release that she somehow fits in worse than if he had said nothing.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
absolutely. but trying to deflect it like kojumbo did shows that he definitely was ashamed.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
but that’s still owning it! most people like or are fine with sexy characters, as long as it fits the setting. quiet is infamous because not only is she at odds with her environment, the creator actively lambasted people on twitter for pointing that out. quiet is a weird character.

my switch is unfortunately in pieces on my work table awaiting new batteries which i keep forgetting to order… maybe when yuzu or whatever it’s called now gets good enough.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
no, but exhibitionism is.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 3 days ago:
i mind when there’s some weird-ass rationalisation for the creator’s barely disguised fetish. when asked why 2B was styled that way, yoko taro said “i like looking at girls”. when asked why quiet was styled like that, hideo kojima said “when you find out the reason, you will be ashamed of your words and deeds” only for the reason to be fucking nonsense.
just own it man, geez.

- Comment on Is the first Metroid Prime the only fun one? 3 days ago:
i feel the same, but it may be nostalgia. i only played through the entire trilogy in like 2018, way after my first playthrough of the first prime. prime 2 has a very different feel, more like a constructed game world than something that fits together naturally. it’s also a lot less colourful and the dark/light thing feels sort of slapped on.
prime 3 is all over the place. i haven’t played 4 because i don’t want to buy a switch 2.
i think the evolution of the prime series served to have it fall more in line with the original vision for the character of samus aran, which famously is very different in the english-speaking world due to a mistranslation. the word “bounty hunter” should hav been translated as “mercenary”. if that hadn’t happened, metroid prime would probably have been a lot closer to halo.

the previous versions at least need the software to supply motion vectors. otherwise it’s just guesswork. i’m assuming there will be some way to supply lighting information as well.
whatever the final product can do, they certainly didn’t show it off in their examples.
