An update

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01/24/transcare-veto-override/

"We tell parents what to do all the time."

Fuck and I almost forgot about this, I really don't know what to do...

Hmm wonder what the article is about...

Ohio legislators banned gender-affirming care for minors Wednesday, overriding Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s December veto of the bill in an intraparty schism and joining more than 20 states that have levied similar restrictions in recent years.

They really think Nintendo had to actually look at the models to know if they were infringing or not.

The idea that the Pokemon designs are first and formost "cooked up in a lab" by a marketing team just doesn't make sense even superficially given the time frame these games come out in and the amount of monsters added per generation. And it makes even less sense if you just fucking Google the individual creature designers of each Pokemon.

People are legitimately smoking that top-shelf pack around Palworld.

Exactly, each and every single Pokemon design exposes the human soul and thoughts of its individual creator who wishes to SAY SOMETHING through their meritocratic art that defies capitalist commodification. Then you have these tech bro scumbags who come along with their Palworld shit and throw out everything that art has ever meant to human society and they just brown nose and buy their way to the top and all the capital-G Gamers rush to support it just because they hate art and trans people of color that much. They actively oppose human meaning expressed through the process of art. And then y'all wonder why we're all tired from this shit holding down my people.

What does Vanilluxe tell us about the human soul?

Yeah. this extreme whining over Palworld is so dumb. I don't even get it. Is it just because Palworld has been the first Monster Collector game to actually get some sort of high attention in a long while?  What is so different between Palworld and what Temtem, Nexomon, and Cassette Beasts do.

Notice how Nep isn't concerned with close or outright exact copies of game design or mechanics like the thousands of clones of successful games on Steam or games that emulate a "feel" by copying a physics engine like Freedom Planet does with Sonic.  No, her concern is always in the immediate purview of her own self-interest - art, just like when automation and generative algorithms didn't matter, even if it affected employment opportunities...not until it delved into art, then everyone has to shut up about AI, it's banned.  Like race, she can't see past her own navel with anything.

They're lying to protect the White supremacy that capitalism is based on.

Anyone got the TyraZaurus ban?  That dude has been malding in so many threads today it’s impossible to without an account and I forgot the login for the shared Riotous account.

In the vast ocean of requests we'll have over the course of Destiny 2, this certainly sounds like one of the least important. But much like the problem fans have with shaders, this comes back to the topic of customization. One of the most important aspects of Destiny is making your character look cool. So when there seems to be regular discussion of the characters looking not just ugly, but worse than Destiny 1 in some cases, that's a problem.

Listen, I'm not a developer. I'm not demanding that Bungie completely redo the character customization options and give us the ability to make one-time changes to our characters along with those new options. Sure, I'd love that but I don't know how realistic it is.

But the fact that many people have complained their characters look worse than they did in Destiny 1 means that something is off.

My fiancee loves designing the characters in the games I play and we went with females for all three characters in Destiny 2. My Hunter was made from scratch as my original Hunter was literally the queen's brother before I knew that character was a thing. (Awkward cut scenes in D1 for me.) Once we landed at the farm, it was extremely noticeable that the strange lighting on her face gives her a sort of mustache look and my fiancee pointed it out instantly. This follows through to the end game social space as well.

And my Titan, which I simply transferred over from D1? Not only does she have that issue but the structure of her face looks weird too. She simply looks worse than she did in Destiny 1.

I know I'm not the only one to point this issue out. It's been mentioned in communities like NeoGAF and right here on Reddit. It's been mentioned in the Easy Allies podcast discussing Destiny 2. Characters looking worse than D1 is a known issue.

I should note that I don't know if this will impact my Exo Warlock when I play as her and I don't know if this is a problem for male characters as well.

Come on Bungie, I know people will love my Guardians for who they are on the inside.

... But on the outside, they're kind of ugly and that sucks.

I'm not looking for a complete reinvention of the character creation at this point. But some sort of future update that fixes some of the current issues would be great.

I bet not a single one of these Palworld "artists" (aka colonizer thieves) has a seven year loan on a Nissan. They don't know what actual artists trying to deliver gobs of precum through art have to struggle with.

User Banned (5 Days): Trolling and thread derailment over multiple posts in multiple threads

Where's the part where they take out the plagiarism

Also a fun find from 2019

This is about stuff in the gaming forum, but concerns one's overall behavior less than gaming, so... here it is.

I ate a five day ban for the way the discussion went in a Pokemon thread, and honestly, I really deserved it. While I stand by the fact that I think some aspects of that particular matter have their problems, my own behavior was inflammatory and I shouldn't have gone that route. Far too often, my online activity comes down to me looking for a fight, which leads to me not only making snap judgements, it boils things down to black and white and extremities, where I can't see the shades of gray. So I'll equate one bad thing with another, regardless of whether that comparison is apt.

But if it were just that, it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Like I said, I went looking for a fight, and I cared more about winning than respecting others. In the end, I wanted to be right, to feel like I was "winning". It's frankly, disgustingly immature, and what's more, I need to realize I just don't know as much as I think I do.

I've made so many mistakes in my life, and I don't want this to be the kind I keep repeating. So yeah. I'm gonna try to work on it.

Looks like they didn't work hard enough. 

[benji]

Going to be honest, I don't feel safe if the staff are siding with the people dismissing concerns about art theft and banning those politely asking others to do better and show basic human decency. No wonder artists are leaving the forum in droves when the staff make clear that they hate artists and want all artists to die.

Another from Sep 18, 2023

It's as the title says. I ignore Star Wars threads here on EtcetEra and such because they bring out the worst in me. They make me so angry and I make an ass of myself. It was a decision I made for my peace of mind. I also stopped posting as much in Pokemon threads on the gaming forum.

Are there any topics here you just ignore/refuse to engage in? Not because you HATE those topics, but because it makes your time here less frustrating or for the sake of your mental health?

Huh. Is that right?
