For fans of Vtubers, how does it feel when your oshi makes light of things you care about or have experienced yourself, surely it must be frustrating. Does that affect your decision to support them, or do you look past it?
My hot take is that a lot of games don’t justify playing them to experience the story, but I think games can and should have the gameplay be quintessential to experiencing the story. Lotta games just use gameplay as a vehicle to get to the next story beat. Personally I think Silent Hill 2 (og and remake) and Silent Hill F demand playing, because I’ve never felt more miserable, suffering, and related to a character as much as those games.
As someone who was socially handicapped due to homeschooling and being raised devout, I really don’t regret being raised that way, I’ve been able to learn and grow a lot as a working adult, sure you make mistakes and learn hard lessons, but that’s how life always is. I’m grateful for the life I’ve been provided, I’m not the life of the party, but I’ve learned how to have fun with people and get to know them while keeping my ideals dear to me.
My biggest advice is to just put yourself out there, take L’s, learn, and grow.
@donotdelay Nah I’m just fine, sure it’s an easy way to bond, but I’ve learned to interact with people on my own terms, and make peace with not being an idiot
What I will always love P4 for is that the issues the confidants have are resolved interpersonally, not politically or even socially, the issues aren’t always the structures we encounter in life, but how we engage and depend on them that are the real issues, by having friends and loved ones empowering you to pursue your true self
Remembering when i first played persona 4 and i thought the omnipresence of Junes in everyone's lives would be story relevant later on or be used for some critique about capitalism but it just never is
If you were to read more of the Old Testament, it would become abundantly clear that God actually consistently abhorred child sacrifice and it consistently was a factor in him punishing Israel or asking them to annihilate other countries. You don’t have to like it but it makes you look really dumb to criticize bodies of text without reading the full thing, they teach that in colleges I’d hope.
While it may be something people don’t like to admit, generational inheritance is something that is very real and has a profound impact on a persons life, and acknowledging it can be a very healthy and can promote growth
@PhrogPollen Many Americans have absolutely no context for what things are like in other parts of the world, and as such don’t realize how we compare, many rely on social media which can be very skewed
I’m not a design expert, but one of the things that screams early OW design is the use of armor, which in a way, was more restrained and decisive, OW2 designs feel a little samey and I feel the use of armor overpowers some of the new characters identity in an aesthetic sense, but ever since Vendetta they’ve been harkening back to finding a better balance, possibly peaking with Shion
Still, all love and respect for the dev team throughout ALL the years, the ups, down, wins, and losses, to have kept swinging the bat to get where we are
@hrtofhope I think it’s the armor clothes ratio, the armor on a lot of OW2 heros is different in a lot of crucial ways, which makes them stand out from the og aesthetic guidelines
I feel like we’re making so many judgement calls based on so little, like I knows it’s also we have to talk about, but there’s a very real possibility we don’t have a full understanding of the aesthetic from mere seconds of a cutscene
