Not being able to empathise with trauma victims real or fake is a personal failing.

Not liking a character =/= a lack of empathy. Sorry, am I obligated to like Jessica Jones as a character just because she was a victim of trauma? You're making this connection that somehow I am unable to empathize with her simply because I didn't much care for her. I do empathize, and it's awful what's happened to her, but that doesn't mean I have to like everything she does or even her as a person, which I don't, for the reasons I explained. You have been trying to twist my opinion for the past three pages, and the fact you feel a need to try and attack or "expose" or otherwise defame me or whatever character flaws you think I have, based solely on the fact that we differ on opinion about television show characters, demonstrates lack of ability or desire to even engage in the most basic of discussions.

gently caress, Batman is a victim of trauma but that doesn't mean I like him in the new movie any more either. :shrug:

This is the point. There are at least two characters that explicitly call out her behaviour. However, the one that knows her personally also doesn't consider it a personal failing.

I wish they had kept the actual having to do patterns in Shantae to pull off the dances rather than just holding down the button. I understand that after awhile it got annoying, especially given how often you had to transform, but I wish they had figured out some sort of middle ground rather than just throwing the mechanic out.

Lol, you said that media had an obligation to present some sort of moral balance to things, like you can't have a narrative where the villain wins. Not my fault you wrote the original post weirdly and that I was among three or four people who arrived at the same conclusion, but why let a few facts ruin a good row?

The game is loving good and Linkle is the best and I always make dumb explosion sounds with my mouth when I'm playing as her.

Yeah the game is just a really satisfying feedback loop of murdering thousands of dudes to earn more stuff and then fine tuning the character and the stuff and earning better, more ridiculous stuff until you have all of it and you will never have all of it. And then there's all the Zelda series fan service on top of it. And the ridiculous poo poo like Linkle with her dual machine crossbows and the Great Fairy bottle and Tingle throwing bombs around. It's just a very fun satisfying game and I love it.

Regardless, I felt that the characters who called her out were right and Jones doesn't seem to learn from any of her mistakes and just repeats them endlessly. It made for a tedious protagonist to watch and dull television, particularly since the show doesn't even have the confidence in its own script to let the drama unfold. A good example, in the third episode IIRC, they have to do a super slow motion "look what you've done!" moment for Jones as she walks past the drug addict who she used to gain access to the hospital, a character we'd literally just met maybe an episode ago and whose introduction was "weird drugged out guy who sleeps in Jessica's apartment when she's not home". Now we're supposed to care that Jessica hurt this guy's feelings? Oh, turns out six episodes later we learn that they have more history than that, a fair bit late for that earlier scene to have much impact; yet they try to force it to by slowing everything down and playing the sad music and it's very artificial because at present Jessica doing sneaky things to get info is the norm and this guy is somebody we don't know and don't care about.

play as embermage and spam your basic homing projectile. I liked Torchlight 2 lots before Diablo 3 reinvented itself on consoles but a lot of Torchlight abilities are OP and chaotic as gently caress. It's still pretty fun though.
