If they're talking about Ladykiller in a Bind, it appears a rape (or near rape, if that is even a thing) scene was removed. From this article:


Script link

Haven't played the game but reading that script it's a pretty creepo scene

That article was part of the problem I was talking about
Here, Polygon wrote a whole thing about it and the outcry and it was good https://www.polygon.com/2017/1/24/14365716/ladykiller-in-a-bind-problematic-consent-sex-scene

Its a messy scene, but the reaction to it was also very messy itself.

For no real reason I went back and played Mega Man 2 for the first time in a while. I'm honestly not sure I ever beat it without trading off with a friend. I also think this time through might have been the first time I ever got through the lasers in Quick Man's stage without using Flash Man's ability (jokes on me because it absolutely sucks as a weakness for Quick Man).

It is also truly ridiculous how overpowered the Metal Blade is. Like there are only a handful of enemies that can't be hurt by it and most enemies get one shotted by it, plus it's a weakness for four robot masters including Metal Man himself.

Ah, the context I was missing that it was 3 step process:

1. There's scenes in the game that are uncomfortable
2. Patch makes them skippable + adds warnings
3. Another patch removes scene altogether

I agree that stopping at 2 would be sufficient.

The more I look at that moth girl the more it freaks me out because its got balljoints as if it was a doll. But if its a doll person why is it also a moth? I guess if its a maid having wings would help but I wonder if she gets distracted by lights easily like a real moth. That would cause a lot of collateral damage.

Gluten is apparently bad for you, though.

Late to the party but I have to answer this because it "triggers me", as the kids say these days. Gluten is only bad for you if you suffer from coeliac disease (spelling?). In Germany for example that is 1.5 percent of the population max from what I read. Otherwise you are fine as there is no "gluten intolerance" it's full on coeliac and you will suffer immensely or it doesn't bother you. Hell there even is pure gluten that is used in low carb baking. But for some reason women's magazines decided to have to start a war on gluten because they didn't know what else to impress their gullible readers with. And it went wild from there.

So far the moth girl has just been really passive aggressive because she doesn't like how she does all the cooking and cleaning and there are others who don't contribute their fair share to the workload, mostly referring to bear girl and chameleon girl

Hey some moths aren't ugly. Sure the common ones are very drab but there are ones that are very colorful and beautiful. Also by bug standards they are pretty cute; they're harmless idiot fuzzballs with big wings.



But I doubt anyone has a fetish for moths and moths alone. Its more that some people are really drawn to "exotic beauty" and in this age of the internet that has led to people fetishizing pretty much anything. So I guess the moth girl hits that same exotic appeal that other monster girls do. At least that's my best guess :shrug:

So far this seems to be a game where the only two genders are "woman" and "woman with penis" and the ship is filled with:

captain: regular human woman
first mate: dog lady
person who mans the crows nest: some pixie
cook and maid: moth woman
engine person: horse lady
heavy lifter/book person: bear lady
sail maintenance: spider woman
the rest: sphinx lady and chameleon lady, I think that's it. As far as I can tell they don't actually contribute to the boat at all outside of performing various oddjob duties. Chameleon person is usually too tired to do anything so they sleep all day hidden away in the rafters, sphinx person is strong but she she also seems to mostly just be there to be an adventurer, she doesn't seem to be skilled in any one thing in particular like the rest.

They have not started to kill each other yet but the game says if I gently caress up too many times during sea battles, the crew'll get madder and madder until they mutiny.

About a week ago, KCB and I were coming out of walmart after doing some grocery shopping when a moth decided it was going to live on her shirt and we had to keep prodding at it before it finally realized "ok drat I'll move"


It really liked that shirt and it just did not want to leave lol

The devs have started and not quite finished a few things, started and finished but not balanced a lot more, and have talked in dev streams about their ideas that never actually come to fruit a billion times more. It's hilarious and amazing at the same time.

You can probably thank the brits for that. Forecastle? Nah, fo'c'sl. Boatswain? Nah, bosun. It used to be starboard and larboard but you can probably imagine the confusion it caused when someone fell overboard so they changed larboard to port. You don't pull up, you hoist unless the action of hoisting is mechanical then it's trice. You don't pull out, you heave out. Food's cooked in the galley and eaten in the mess. Don't call it a hat, it's a cover.

I could go on all day, I love naval jargon.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I played a lot of Switch over the weekend. A bit of Splatoon but really a whole bunch of Mario + Rabbids. I thought that I would be turned off by the cover system (always 100% chance to be hit if you are exposed) but it's become a real great benefit when combined with all the movement abilities the characters have. Each battle feels like a puzzle of positioning, with some of the challenge stages being almost entirely dependent on baiting enemies into the right spot.
