@RehnSturm256 Lemme jump in here with some more context of this BS they pulled in Monster Hunter as well. I'm guilty of owning World and Rise as well as the extensions, but I think there are a few things that kept the MH and RE fanbase quiet(er).
MH World and Rise were complete enough, but the stink of limited character (re)creation was always there. Here's the funny thing though. Since our save data is local, it is possible to modify all of our characters' visual data by modifying the save data. They sell character edit vouchers, so you have LIMITED character editing in a single player game. The fact that Crapcom never went after this mod is quite interesting, perhaps they knew they couldn't risk the bad PR since I'm sure they could bully and then pressure a legal case of impeding sales. I never liked it, but the game was complete and customizable enough that I think most people just turned to mod support and never really said anything.
Fast forward to MH Rise, there was some more sentiment about how hard Crapcom was pushing microtransactions. Not huge though, and not enough to stop people from buying them or even buying the game entirely. The same character edit voucher is still in the game but I think very few people wanted to recreate their characters anyway.
But now in DD2, look where the slippery slope has gotten. This is beyond just "a microtransaction," this is fundamental, game-function scumbaggery.

@Kyonko802 There is a certain strategic element to having friendly fire in a game. I for one love friendly fire as a mechanic. -

@rlier23 >the thing i'm going to push back on what you've shared above is that that's not how consultation (which is what sweet baby does) works
I think the interesting thing going on here is the dichotomy in perspective. To these consultants, they are simply analyzing the market and helping enlighten game studios about how they should write, present, and design their games. Nothing nefarious is going on, they are simply offering genuine, academic advice. However, everyone else sees it completely differently! What's actually happening is these subverters that drank their own Kool-Aid are subtly destroying the very medium itself. They've been convinced the colloquial pre-established "gamers" are the actual problem, and the "modern audience" is the true demographic going forward.
This guy made a huge mistake talking to her, and now he's about to turn on his own side. Like this snippet here. Before there was no problem with something such as their Discord's politics chat, until he got cornered into playing optics. This one is lost, I'm afraid. -

I can't believe I binged the entirety of the Dungeon Meshi manga last night until 3am. It was really an excellent read. I remember when I read it long ago it was nowhere near completion, but seeing the animation come out made me want to check in on it. Sure enough it is complete, and... yeah I'm very happy with it.
A human story as old as time. Desires to do good, but ultimately create evil. All wrapped up in a metaphor about... food (and consumption). I also like that Dungeon Meshi understands that nature is a cycle of energy transfer/consumption, not necessarily evil or good, but it just is. In a way it's like how hunters respect nature the most.
There's also this theme of accepting death, which was something I was personally dealing with. I ended up incorporating that idea into my game's story. Like I said, it's a very good human story. -

Dungeon Meshi anime made me reread the manga. I still love the living armor biology, one of the most clever things.
Also this is one of those exceptions where I can accept a "localization." On the other hand, they could have just kept Ichi/Jiro/Sabu. -

@rlier23 Man the Zero games and ZX games are the best timeline. Crapcom has NO IDEA what they are doing with the X series, and frankly, I'm okay if they just stopped and said "Yeah in the future we get to the Zero games and then ZX future where Reploids and humans live together."

@Kyonko802 It's an awfully disgusting ideology. Everyone is what they call an "egg," the trans inside still waiting to break out of the shell (which is a negative analogy insinuating restriction and constraint), and if you deny anyone coming out of that shell you will "kill" that trans person. No one is actually dying, you're just preventing the corruption :kekw:
I feel like I've seen this story before in some fantasy stories. Every human (they used some fancy name that wasn't "human" like how Xenoblade has the "homs") has the potential to become a demon, and it just takes another demon's corruption to complete the transformation. When it does happen, a new demon is born, and the original human is effectively irreversibly killed off. Goodness gracious, when you think about it that way, it makes a whole lot more sense :cirno_what:

@Spingebill Right... Celeste... Honestly, I think in some way Celeste was always meant to be trans because I could never figure out what Badeline was supposed to be, and that's because at the time when I did play Celeste, I was totally ignorant to trannies. After Farewell came out it made a lot more sense when I learned about this whole thing years after playing it.
Idk, Celeste is a lightning in a bottle moment because outside of that game there isn't any other competent, culturally significant title. The one retcon I DO recall however is Hat Girl from Hat in Time.

@Spingebill Reminds me. I don't know which mod was adding it, but during one of my modpack playthroughs, a bee with not-Bee-colored-stripes appeared and I was so confused. I thought it was funny colored pajamas at first, but it turns out it was one of the mental illness flags (it was like green and grey, no idea what that one is and I don't care to look it up).
Funnily, it conflicted with Productive Bees' bee cage (used to transport bees a lot more conveniently), and when I picked it back up and put it down, it spawned a proper vanilla Bee in its place. How the hell did these cretins come to the conclusion that the bee is trans? If anything, the animals in Minecraft are hermaphrodites. I'm pretty sure Notch realized managing two sexes of animals would be a huge PITA so he prioritized gameplay over logic and just made hen-roosters and cow-bulls lol

My quick little tribute to Akira Toriyama that I've been working on the past week. I wasn't able to capture quite what I was imagining, but what matters is that I had fun and went on a trip down memory lane.
For some reason it looks way better from afar than up close haha, I have much to learn. -

@soravu I remember this. I only saw the headline some odd time ago, but then I saw it was by Kotaku and the roided monstrosity, and I had to say...
Ah, there's the double standard! -

@rlier23 Man, when you think about it, he just gave ammo to the establishment by stating there WAS harassment. You're supposed to disown the counterproductive actors in your own movement, not concede to the enemy :reimu_sigh: -

@RehnSturm256 Fair. But a company's track record is important. I can give Vanillaware a bit of the benefit of the doubt for now with different art directors, but I don't accept what they let 8-4 do to the game's localization. Abysmal decision making and work.
