When you think about it, pretty much the entire downfall of the AAA/AAAA games industry can by traced back to Epic

Yeah, the situation is just weird. I meant the game comes from Asia which this kind of stance I'm not surprised. Asia gacha games in general has a lot of gross designs sexualize young girls but I rarely seen backlash in asia. However, it seems they're to normalize this behavior like you said when introduce the game to western.

And the same goes for various pedo-loli games—there are even threads and tons of fans on Era.

September is 10 times worse.

I also still think now releasing early in November because of GTA is retarded, especially if you are relying more on the Switch or PC. Yeah, Media will build pre-release Hype for the Game, but I think the fear is insane overblown. The same with not releasing in December. There is no universe where end of September is better than middle of December.

If you can afford it you are frankly also maybe just better off delaying to 2027 and using this time to maybe improve the Game further or already planning out post launch content. Worst case you could also lower working hours, that sucks but is still better than yxour game flopping and you firing half the staff or closing the Studio. And Games will Flop in September 100% due to how loaded it is. There isnt enough money in the market to support so many medium-high Tier Games.

But this shows us that Studios dont know about launch dates for other Games, this is the 2nd Game that immediately moves its launch out of September after the Showcases. This was something I was wondering about, how much do Studios know of each others Dates. I guess this Studio is very small, maybe bigger ones know.

For this study, it is crucial for me to gather perspectives from outside of Germany to ensure a diverse, international sample—which is exactly why this forum is absolutely perfect for my research, especially because you me be interested in the friendly spider from the neighbourhood.

It takes about 13 minutes in total - which includes about 7 minutes of watching gameplay from a great game. I hope you like the gameplay - I've played and recorded it myself.

Do you have a game in mind that would fit as well as, or better than the one I chose? Your opinion would really interest me.

I'm always open to feedback, questions, or suggestions, so please feel free to reach out or leave a comment!

If you enjoy action‑adventure games or watching gameplay in general, you'd be doing me a huge favor. Thanks in advance for supporting a fellow gamer!

Nepenthe wrote:I don't really see where these points are being conflated into a single argument when most people here agree with both regardless.

I think the underlying tension here is, even in our agreement, Black people are still perceiving racial animus in the way that people are discussing the defendant. For example, he's a "psycho" that "didn't belong there."

Black people are commonly framed as mentally unwell when we commit crimes, and we are constantly policed in our space to the point that it can lead to death if we stand our ground. The very idea that he should have left because a white boy with no authority told him to leave is literally just textbook racism. No two ways about it.

Like, I shouldn't have to point this out. Indeed, pointing this out gets met with "So you believe he shouldn't have been charged?!!!!" As if I am supposed to be okay with what I perceive as racism when leveled towards a Black person of any character. James Baldwin said to the extent of "Black people should be allowed the grace to be bad people sometimes."

It's like when that whole Jussie Smollett shit happened and people, even folks here, who were outraged that he "set racism back" (as if most people genuinely care about anti-racism) and "wasted officers' time" (I thought we were about ACAB???) should be "punished to the fullest of the law" and go to prison for years and years, as if we are unaware of what prisons are actually meant for.

Meanwhile, how many white people have faked hate crimes on themselves? And how many of them were seen as threats to the social fabric? Hell, that one "Blacks rule!" guy is a meme around here.

Ultimately, this entire thread ultimately reeks of people finally having a chance to stone a beautiful Black body, and even if I largely agree with the ruling (albeit not really the length of the sentence,) it's like some of y'all can't help yourselves whenever a Black defendant is undeniably guilty. Some people here need to examine themselves, but they won't. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Nepenthe wrote:I think ostensibly liberal and even progressive people hold anti-Black biases because being a liberal or progressive is not actually contingent on any meaningful internal deconstruction of racist biases.

I think ostensibly liberal and even progressive people are comfortable labeling Black criminals as "psycho" in part because they're Black despite other, potentially performative concerns about how ableist this would be when leveled at other people, including those who have higher body counts like our politicians.

I also think ostensibly liberal and even progressive do not consistently treat white criminals and Black criminals with the same level of condemnation or grace respectively as the other, and this actually bears out with data; support for harsher sentencing and the death penalty actually goes up when you mention that Black people are more likely to be sentenced regardless of whether or not they're guilty.

Your extremely defensive yet expected reaction also doesn't really refute the notion either, and I'm not going to entertain the idea that a presupposition that racial bias is at play here is completely irrational given what I know both about this community and the issue of anti-Black racism within an American context in general.

People just really like jailing niggas. This isn't actually controversial.
Ban this fucking bigot, Nepenthe. Don't let him spread this white supremacist shit!

Oh, what do you think?  Because your thinks are so much more important than actual facts. 



I wrote a college application (one of many) and realized I used, "I" repeatedly to open a sentence and I apologized for doing so.  I even said I hoped their writing program would help me.   Every program had some AI warning and not to use.  I think my shit writing and dependence on "I," statements might help and prove I'm not a robot.  Like a robot want's to pay 15k to write papers.

Someone on era said that his financial advisor reminded people that Space X is a "terrible buy because it's trading at 90 times sales."

That reminds me of my old finance professor in 2007 saying not to buy Apple stock because "Apple won't sell nearly enough iPod-phones* to justify the stock price."  (*yes this toolshed kept calling it the Ipod-phone.)

He was also fond of quoting some famous NYU finance professor that went around saying, in the early 2000s, "amazon will have to sell a million billion trillion books to justify its price."

You can think Space X is a good buy or a bad buy, but projecting based on its previous years' sales in an industry that does not yet exist is just a complete lack of imagination and missing the forest for the trees, or something..

King Feraligatr wrote:Well, I'm disabled (high-functioning autism, or whatever you call it these days), heavily sex-repulsed, asexual, and don't want kids. And I'm unwilling to accommodate a partner who wants sex or kids (maybe if we were much older and their kids were all grown up, I'd be flexible on the existing kids thing). So that heavily tanks my chances there. There's also the fact that I've never had any real desires for a real person beyond passing fancies and fantasies (only know I'm not aromantic due to having some fictional "waifus" (I'm heteromantic, which also hurts my chances) and thoughts and desires in my head about having a relationship). There's also my personal failures like being broke, lazy, fat, ugly, stupid, uncharismatic, usive, abusive, depressed, a shit person, etc. I'm also past prime desirability (in my early 30s) and have no real prior experience, so me thinking about relationships at this point is essentially childish.

A few women have expressed interest in me (mostly online in dedicated ace dating spaces), but I don't know what they even saw in me. I never feel like I know any of the gals on these places enough to actually want to pursue them. I liked to do a "screening and building rapport" phase before actually trying to go further, since I think a good relationship needs a solid friendship behind it as well (we wouldn't have gotten to that in a short amount of time, but even an acquaintanceship before actually dating would be better than nothing). I also just felt like a creep going over these women's profiles. And I might just be. And even if I wasn't they might think that anyways. By removing myself from the dating pool, I allow those other women that little extra chance they can actually find a decent person.

Relationships, from what I have seen and heard from others, also seem very cutthroat and generally flawed. Happy relationships can and do exist, but they seem to be the exception to the rule. At least, until people date many people to find someone that works for them. I hold no illusions that I'll ever get a healthy one. Especially with how many people seem to bitch about their relationships. I'm already low on the totem pole. Outside normal peoples' desirabilities. Maybe if I wasn't asexual, there'd be some chance I could find someone after a long time searching. But since sex seems to be the most important factor for most people for a relationship, yeah...

There's also trauma from growing up. When I was young, my parents seemed to try ship me near every gal my age. Shit might be just annoying for some, but it was traumatizing for me. Felt like I couldn't talk to gals my age without my parents trying to ship me. I came to calling myself asexual on my own (before I knew it was a thing), and then hoarded calling myself aro when I learned what it was (to be fair, I've always had low romantic drives, I suppose. But even growing up, I think in hindsight I had my thoughts and feelings. And my "waifus". Hell, I even had a preschool "girlfriend") Then came my parents' divorce. It was almost entirely my dad's fault and he's now the worst person I personally know (there's worse, but I don't personally know Trump, for instance). It didn't help my view of relationships and the drama and trauma a failed one could bring. Even with my mom's stable and working relationship with my stepdad, yeah. Not every relationship can be like their's. And of my biological parents, my mom was the greater "offender" with "shipping me with other gals my age". She's calmed down now and took the time I came out to her about my specifics well. And she's honored my requests to not talk about it if I don't want to (I've never talked to her about it again.). Still, she bothers my younger siblings with the "shipping" so she's not entirely learned her lesson...

The one time I kind of tried dating was in 2024 when I talking to some gal and in my "screening" phase (I'm upfront with that). She had her problems and mental issues, but I don't think I made it worse (I'll never know, for reasons I'll say shortly). And she sent some red flags, which she was aware of "love bombing". Well, eventually, she ghosted me some day after a month of not talking to me (she said she needed some time to herself, which I obliged). She never told me why and I didn't care enough to "hunt" her down. When we were talking, she'd keep asking if I was annoyed or angry at her. I wasn't until she ghosted me. And even then, I'm not really that angry or upset at her. More just annoyed. I don't wish to talk to her again, but I wish her the best in life. In retrospect, I don't think it ever would have worked and wouldn't have been a good fit, but that "farce" of sorts was a bit depressing. And likely to happen again if I try again.

In summation, a combination of me being a shit person, extremely low desirability, having a niche orientation, trauma, other people having terrible experiences, a failed attempt, and more are reasons I shouldn't date. I'd put my desirability around MAGAs and incels, even though I'm neither. I have a battle in my brain between sides that want a relationship and those that don't (for whatever reason). The "pro-relationship" side used to give me lots of mental pain for saying never, but, while it still does, years of attacking it and out-logic-ing it have eased those punishments (though that battle in of itself has caused trauma). It still thinks that a forever single life seems kind of boring and pointless. But when I'm such a terrible person and the odds massively stacked against me and so much trauma, what's the point? Others can live single just fine (which I'm kind of envious of, even if I'm single and can handle being single, just part of my mind would like a relationship), why not me?

But I talked to older women just fine. Nowadays, this doesn't matter. I got my parents to stop doing the teasing thing and I don't care as much. Still, I don't make friends these days. Haven't since high school. Acquaintances at most.

Ascribe unsolicited romance and sexuality to kids growing up from 4 and onwards, especially when they're not old enough to understand. One of the worst things I would hear about boys would be "oh he's going to break hearts", or "they'll be popular with the opposite sex". Like if some other adults try to do that with my daughters, I will shut that down and admonish them.
t truly was traumatizing and had me seriously uncomfortable with coming to terms that I'm a heteroromantic ace rather than aro ace. Took until my 20s to feel comfortable with saying it (Though I'm mixed on actually having a relationship. In part, but hardly entirely, due to this trauma).
