Elephant Parade posted:Personally, I think it's bad to delight in people's suffering just because they've done something to deserve it. That attitude is one of the reasons why the prison system is as bad as it is. People are ripping into the prison line so I won’t add more to that. Getting a visible erection on the suffering of someone is one thing; looking at someone getting their just desserts for doing a bad thing and one thinking “they are getting their due for doing lovely things, this is how things should work” is not really a bad thing

Seems like they need some sort of naming policy Their current policy is "gently caress you we're wikipedia you can't tell us what to do" which is incredibly harmful. Also Wikipedia is not like, the All Seeing Eye. It's a collection of public knowledge. If it's not really public knowledge (or useful public knowledge, like for someone who changed their name way before doing anything notable) what someone's birth name is then it probably shouldn't be on Wikipedia. But it's impossible to make that argument to them or even get them to rewrite an article without a loving stink about it. Everyone acts like it's just them following a policy that's been well thought out and argued instead of literally making an arbitrary decision and then sticking with it cuz they don't care about the people they're writing about.

Id say that not changing a persons page based on their own requests is generally a good policy for many reasons (how many famous ppl wouldnt be glad to remove embarassing stuff from their page?), that doesnt seem to be contradictory with having a well thought out naming policy that is respectful of peoples preferences

But they do change people's pages at their request if they're defamatory or can cause harassment. Which is exactly what a deadname can do. But oh, oh, it's somehow different now. Suddenly our policy is really inflexible about this and weirdly it's only in this case that we can't do anything about it. Not bigots tho!

There is an argument to be made for historical figures of note in actual sources that aren't Wikipedia, since knowing previous names can be important for research into their lives. Wikipedia, itself? Needs to cut it out entirely. There is a very good reason they're not an accepted source for academic research. They're not an encyclopedia. It's a bunch of articles made by internet randos who might, or might not know what they're talking about. They don't need to be deadnaming people left and right.

I know this isn't very descriptive or helpful or anything but does anyone know this character? All I can remember is that she had one of those weird impossible designs where like, her ribbon was tied into her hair and they were kinda merged somehow.

Anyone playing Greedfall? It looks interesting, and the dope pirate hats in every screenshot greatly appeal to me, but I've played a few games by Spiders in the past and they didn't really grab me. Is it any good?

Its definitely the best game they've ever put out and feels a lot like a game Bioware would have made around the release of the original Mass Effect, with all kinds of weird janky mechanics. Not sure I'd pay full price for it, but I certainly don't regret playing it. Admittedly I'm over the conquistador colonial aesthetic and think its been done to death recently, and Greedfall doesn't do anything novel with the setting and has a lot of pretty  stuff with the twist

I do have a weakness for old Bioware, warts and all. That was enough to carry me through a significant portion of Bound By Flame, at least. By stuff, do you mean just corny stuff or do they use the setting as an excuse to go into super uncomfortable Resident Evil 5 territory?

Its nowhere near as bad as RE5, but there are more than a few uncomfortable bits where your character says stuff like 'don't give in to hate!' when your native companion is trying to kill a wounded conquistador dude on the battlefield where her mother just died. I'm also like 80% sure it goes into ancient alien/precursor poo poo based on some scenes right after that, but I haven't actually beaten the game yet.

I don't know what you're expecting to happen, considering the dev and her girlfriend are getting exactly what they want out of this. They probably really don't actually care all that much about people posting mean things about women or lesbians on Twitter, because... Well, most people don't.

dudes not everything has to come down to some side gaining or losing ground. we aren't fighting over alterac valley here. there's no quantifiable way to prove who won or lost this poo poo because its all twitter bullshit that has no tangible effect on the world. some devs were outed as shitheads and people who want to purchase or work on those projects can make decisions based on that info. that's literally it, and imo, that's a good thing regardless of if the devs get a few extra bucks from reactionary idiots. arguing over whether we've won or lost the battle this day is just feeding the gaping void in your head that twitter has created.

I'm interested in the Atelier series and have Atelier Sophie from a cheap Steam sale. From what I can gather, the game is about becoming an alchemist and item crafting. But I can't figure out much beyond that. What's the hook/sell? What's the scope of the plot? How big a role, if any, do party interactions play? How's the combat system work?

the hook/sell: laidback rpgs where a girl gains more confidence via item crafting scope of the plot: usually small, even when the scope of the plot is ostensibly big its never really plot-driven or a worldspanning quest with a lot of urgency. like escha and logy involves the party sealing an ancient god they found in the ruins of a lost civilization and its treated with all the prompt and circumstance of a mildly interesting deep sea diving expedition, even when they're fighting god. party interactions: they play a big role but they're usually protagonist/party member, party members interacting with other party members or the party interacting as a group is much rarer combat system: varies from game to game

The hook is it's a chill, cute game with fun party interactions, low stakes, and good music. Combat is pretty standard turn based JRPG fare, but the meat of the gameplay is either time management or the crafting system (depending on the entry). Almost all of them are coming of age stories for a young woman. e: oh I missed that you have Sophie specifically. That's a game about a woman whose girlfriend is a book. All her friends are boring but better friends show up later. cheetah7071 fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Oct 4, 2019 |

koei tecmo-published games don't hit deep sale prices until years after launch the one i can think of that regularly gets the deepest is pirate warriors 3 and that's co-owned by bamco, who do much deeper sales much more regularly
