I’ll admit “trying” was doing a lot of heavy-lifting in that sentence ;)

Wolf. Not only do I think my chances are better, I’d also feel less bad about trying to fuck up a wolf if I had to

Yep, that’s why I brought Tales of up in the discussion; glad you agree on the similarities despite their differences too
- Comment on Final Fantasy Maker Square Enix Will Aggressively Pursue a Multiplatform Strategy After Profits Tumble 5 days ago:
I agree with all of that. My personal biggest issue is the combat, but it isn’t the only issue and it isn’t the biggest issue with the idea of the game as a concept.
But unfortunately SqEnix recognized FF7 for the cash cow that it is, and seem fully-devoted to milking it for every last drop it can offer
- Comment on Final Fantasy Maker Square Enix Will Aggressively Pursue a Multiplatform Strategy After Profits Tumble 5 days ago:
I can only speak to my experience. I love the depth of FF7’s turn-based strategic combat, meanwhile I literally haven’t finish the first FF7R entry yet because I keep literally falling asleep during combat. I’m not being hyperbolic, I’m not being facetious, I literally have fallen asleep dozens of times during combat trying to finish that damn game.
If the combat speaks to you and you enjoy it, that’s awesome and I’m glad it can deliver to you what you need. But for me, I think it’s even worse than the combat in Tales of Berseria and I hate the combat in the Tales of series.
I love action games and I love RPGs, I just personally rarely find half-measure crossover gameplay styles satisfying.

Hank Green already debunked this. It’s not Photoshop but it’s also not just a beard, it’s just an automatically beauty filter (the kind extremely common on almost every tiktok video) literally reshaping his face
- Comment on Final Fantasy Maker Square Enix Will Aggressively Pursue a Multiplatform Strategy After Profits Tumble 5 days ago:
Fr. Calling FF7R a “remake” of FF7 with its significant story changes and shift from perfect turn-based combat to the most mind-numbing half-measure “action RPG” combat is like saying you’re going to remake Tetris but now it’s a first-person shooter

All good; I wasn’t trying to be offensive in my reply and was sincere in calling it poignant. Sometimes I get worked up and make tangents that feel vaguely related too. We’re cool if you’re cool ✌

What a wonderful and poignant aside that adds absolutely nothing to the discussion at hand.

I’m just curious, what exactly would you prefer to see here? I don’t think this community is specific controversies, but I do think it is, and rightly so, mostly focused on gaming discussion rather than just games. And contentious topics are simply famously those which cause and often merit the most discussion.
Would you prefer instead if all of the posts were simply “How Great Is God of War?” followed by a chain of comments saying nothing but agreement?
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 days ago:
Just like truth in advertising laws exist, some restrictions are rightly placed on free speech in the interest of consumer protection. Imo this case clearly should fall under similar consideration.

Sincere thank you for providing what I was referencing 👍
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 days ago:
A general NDA is reasonable, sure, but allowing only comments which glaze the game but not those which criticize it is not. I genuinely cannot even fathom how you think the contrary; I don’t mean that in offensive, so if you can articulate why you believe that way I would like to try and understand.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 days ago:
Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.
That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 days ago:
Yep, this is the move 👍

Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD’s changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious

It’s still packaged with that awful and invasive nProtect GameGuard garbage though, so be be aware of what you’re buying before you make the choice.
- Comment on My phone is not for phone calls 5 weeks ago:
From management? If that’s the case I hope you’re clarifying to them that work conversation a legally work, so you will be expect to be paid fully for any hours clocked on the phone outside normal scheduled hours.
Of course if you’re talking about fielding calls while on the clock… well yeah you’re probably gonna have to answer those.
- Comment on My phone is not for phone calls 5 weeks ago:
Fr. Do people forget that they have autonomy in their experiences? You can still decline the call even if you aren’t actively engaged; nobody is automatically entitled to your free time.

How is that any worse than making a post saying “I love the Beatles”?
Yes, I agree. As I said here 10 hours ago:
The point is hatred is its own kind of fandom, as both camps center around the thing.
My point is that they are the same thing, and thus methinks the lady doth protest too much.
- Comment on 400,000 species 5 weeks ago:
My guy, are we just going to entirely ignore the context of this literally being a comment in a “look at me I’m so different for not liking the Beatles” post? Yeah, what you’re saying may be true, but we’re talking about somebody who literally is making a campaign out of their disdain. Context and nuance people, Jesus Christ.
- Comment on 400,000 species 5 weeks ago:
No, I’m claiming hating the Beatles is a choice. Hate is active. People who dislike things don’t waste their time thinking about how much they dislike them and telling people proudly how much they dislike them.
- Comment on 400,000 species 5 weeks ago:
Hating any music is weird, as hate takes vastly more effort than indifference.
Hating specifically anything of comparable acclaim as the Beatles is, frankly, just contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism.
If you didn’t like them you just wouldn’t like them, but what you actually like is not liking them as a factor of your personality.

So what I’m reading is a truck driver can invite as many guests as they want to shower with them there, so long as none of those guests are also truck drivers.
Weird rules for the orgy shower, but who am I to judge?
- Comment on I feel old 1 month ago:
This makes vastly more sense in both gamer and hip-hop context than “opponent” does, so I’m willing to concede that this might actually be the right reading, as retroactively this fits in place of “operative” in the hip-hop settings I’ve experienced it in whereas opponent doesn’t.
Kudos.
