"Hi Everybody!"

OwlFancier posted:

I mean I do know that umbrella isn't supposed to exist but having never played a resident evil since nemesis or any before that, and getting all my information through bits of LPs I've watched and half remember, I assume they're like the remnant in star wars. Which is to say there is an infinite amount of secret facilities with infinite resources so even though you "won" they're never actually going away they just get a name change but you're still clearly fighting the same guys.

I feel like the logical endpoint of this is "Wait, they're all in sealed bunkers around the world, with their own bioweapon experiments, and they're all as nuts as OG Umbrella?"

"Yes, sir."

"Cool; Just wait a few weeks and the problem will solve itself. Just put together a cleanup team of ex-STARS people and give'em flamethrowers if anything goes roaming free"

Resident Evil games being about man's science gone wrong is super important for the series. It would be terrible f they went into extra dimensions or outer space.

The most dangerous Umbrella creation is the only one that can defeat them so everyone else is glad it's constantly fighting Umbrella.

Yeah, I'm saying Alice in the movies is an adaptation of the games' Tofu.

I'm just curious about the logistics of umbrella at this point. Do they have a bioweapon fashion division? Someone had to make the giant trenchcoat for mr x and the weird apron thing that nemesis wears.

The plot twist of 8 is that Versace has their own bioweapons division.

I figure that like, they can't operate in the open, so they gotta make stuff on the sly, and also the other umbrella cells are like, constantly trying to strongarm them into lending support to their bioweapon projects so it's like a thing where you have to balance the budget while also keeping the various factions onside and not being discovered as the company that makes leather daddy outfits for the monster that just destroyed a small eastern european country last week.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
I love that for a moment, I couldn't decide whether it was just Cyberpunk's models glitching out again or if it was really that old.

it's extremely chill in ffxiv
the 24-man raids have like 6 healers and 3 tanks and nobody but the main tank ever takes damage except when they forget to move out of a big red circle so basically you spend 90% of the fight zoning out and mashing your filler spell while waiting for anyone's hp to drop

also at least one of the 6 healers is gonna be one of the buttplug people who wastes all their time spamming heals at 95% hp people to top them off so even if you completely ignore healing and just dps you'll probably be fine

I can't tell if you're just joking but it's because support roles in games are often depicted as and/or considered to be A) feminine, and B) unable to meaningfully contribute to the game beyond a subservient role of filling up health bars. It's combining a lovely design trend with lovely attitudes about women to make it a kink thing.

*Boilerplate disclaimer that I'm sure a non-zero number of people aren't huge weirdos about it and are genuinely just in it for the kinkiness, but the majority of stuff I've seen on the subject seems to be from exactly the kind of people you think would invest a lot of effort into sexualizing OW characters.

healing is an invisible chore. nobody cares who does it or how its done as long as continues to be done and they don't have to think about it. healers are the sanitation workers of mmorpgs and they're treated with the same dignity society reserves for essential workers in real life.

guild wars monk main: can confirm.

"oh why don't you have the really fancy gear, why are you not healing me right this second, i got a boo boo stop whatever you are doing and fix me right now, let me stick my dick in the enemy pile it's fine you can fix it right"

like rear end in a top hat I can just not loving heal you and you'll loving die, we should have two monks in the party anyway not my fault you wanted to go with only one.

Yeah, because for some strange reason there's a distinct lack of healers available, almost as if most people don't want to play the role. :v:

I feel like "healers should be more appreciated" type stuff is way more common than healers actually getting ragged on. like, healers/support roles are frequently the people who're calling the shots since they're in a position where they're already watching what other players are doing

I haven't played any MMOs in over a decade, but I vaguely remember that back in the day, there was an equally strong stereotype of healer classes all being self-important assholes who think they're the most important part of any group.
