Honestly I think there has been always some broad conflation as you call it between trans and crossdressing communities from the crossdressing community itself, like the MTF subreddit (maybe the biggest subreddit for trans women) was recently found out to have a crossdresser mod for years that had to be removed because they were found to be allowing all kinds of crossdressers to post hypersexual content in the community carte blanche. Most older spaces for trans women (forums, irl groups etc) are more designed for crossdressers/sissies etc, and a lot of trans women only spaces both online and IRL have to weed out crossdressers that come to them in bad faith purely because they are horny

It's very confusing to navigate even for me as a trans woman in these spaces so I imagine it's even more confusing from the outside from cis people's perspective, it's very likely why there's so many laws and stereotypes about trans women potentially being predators and perverts, because there's a broad class of cis men (of which there are way way more cis men with a crossdressing fetish than there is self identified trans women) with a fetish who essentially are identical looking to how a trans woman can superficially look

Like many relatives and previous friends of mine don't even talk to me anymore because they think I'm someone like this, the confusion is deep in society

and a lot of trans women only spaces both online and IRL have to weed out crossdressers that come to them in bad faith purely because they are horny

Wait... there's trans women only spaces and they get mad if someone joins who doesn't belong?

...

How many fucking times do we have to explain it to you fascists? Trans women spaces belong to trans women along with women's spaces and, believe it or not, mens spaces as well. If we have to explain this even one more time WE WILL be getting violent.

I seriously doubt that was an idea not pushed by Miyamoto, even if he denies it. Fox and the Pikmin in the film smells like him and his pet projects.

Then again, maybe Nintendo is actually making another Star Fox.

Talk to me young and hip folks. My side hustle(mobile bar truck) is about to start back up this month and this looks like a funky new twist to add to the menu however, I know nothing about this and I don't get high. Not sure about this one ERA.


Any one tried this or something similar?

I thought of that too, but the thing is, you need a product for people to buy when the film comes out as a tie-in, I don't think it will matter if a game comes out a year after the movie

BUT at the same time I think that the Wizarding World is without a doubt one of the most successful IPs ever, one of the biggest and strongest. Fantastic Beast 2 and 3 didn't make as much money as Warner wanted but people keep streaming and buying the movies and the books, going to the theme parks and studio tour, buying a shit ton of merch, Hogwart's Legacy has sold like more than 40 millions units. My Instagram Stories feed was FULL on people posting the trailer or reacting to it, I saw a lot of people online telling stories of watchng the trailers with their children and feeling emotional because they are sharing this with them.

It is unfortunate that this will only give more money and power to JK, but I think that for most people, including the actors, the Wizarding World in infinitely bigger than whatever she says or do.

Most of the people that love the IP either don't know or don't care about what she says and do, their love for the IP is above and beyond that, some of them won't ever think there is anything wrong to enjoy something they have been loving for most of their lives, or even all their lives, they may not agree with her, but they love what she wrote.

It's almost like the popularity is part of the problem. I don't know why people feel a need to remind us, the people who are directly affected by it, how popular it is or how little people care. We're acutely aware. This isn't the thread for it.

Yes.

fox is more known for smash than his own games anymore, they might as well have put captain falcon in there as a main character too

Star Fox is based and deserves to be treated like A-lister even with the IP's lack of good games. IMO the issue with it is that Nintendo missed THREE chances in a row to iterate on the franchise (Star Fox Adventures and Assault and Zero) by having them farmed out to outside devs instead of just making them themselves.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Not to mention that this site is an (albeit limited) testing ground for how to kill the mainstream relevancy of the franchise thanks to the ban (reminder of the HP ban btw.). So let's keep ignoring the franchise itself.

lol

These morons think very highly of themselves.

I think it's hamstrung by the fact that from the beginning it's been rooted in the feel of something you would play in an arcade, and gaming has moved away from that, but like you say some of its entries have been not too bad overhauls using the same world and characters

imagine if it had RPG-like systems with upgrades for your ship, build your own ship in a lego sense, or alternatively take cues from something like Elite Dangerous and give people an open world universe to fuck around in

actually even though Starlink Battle for Atlas was an Ubislop game with an ill-conceived toys to life concept bolted on, that game was still fun to just play, and had Star Fox DLC, and could've been a fine Star Fox game on its own

As we all know, their ban on HP has put the franchise on deathwatch.

I think I would be the one making such a thing and I am out on medical leave atm and have completely other priorities beyond DLSS5 when I return. So I would Not expect anything until from me on DLSS 5 until this thing releases. I honestly Hope it does not Release and is instead "unlaunched". But If it released I would scarcely have anything positive to say about it as a Post process Screen Space Shader which radically adjusts art without Artist consent, is full of bias, and is overwrites physically simulated lighting and shadowing with non-sense Studio Lights and exposure tweaks.

IQ and Rendering accuracy tend to be my Videos at DF.

I thought you were a tech-focused person that loved GDC talks and the bleeding edge of gaming technology. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore, huh? You know this tech is the future. I know that you know that. Being dismissive will only give hope to people who think this will go away. When in reality generating the full frame is the future of rendering.

Path Tracing can radically change the work of artists as well. Several games look insanely different from what it was made to look like originally. Some of those same people will use DLSS 5. So what are you talking about here?

I expected more from you, being a tech-leading person, but it seems I was wrong.

it's freaking ghoulish

disgusting

They really do not care about peoples jobs or artistic design or the very soul that keeps this industry going.

They enjoy criticizing the work of others under the guise of hard journalism, but it has become more laced with an agenda and implicit bias.

What a little toad.

They're being overbearing and aggressive and show no respect even to the other people on their channel.

Seeing DLSS5 as a load of shite is one thing, but uh this is uhhh, wtf?

Is there a world where someone thinks "ah yeah could be good" or "impressive that it works at all at this level" without being called a uhhh disgusting overbearing toad?

The self-proclaimed Pulse of the Gaming Industry once again doing its best to run off anyone associated with the industry.

[Jansen]

Late to the party about the general negativity and hostility of this forum (was banned for two weeks, justifiably so), but my two cents are that there's just very little engagement to being positive.



I recently posted in the Post your gaming setup and home: 2026 Edition thread, and I got several positive replies from people just going "this is awesome!", and it felt awesome. However, 95% of the time, if you put in the time and effort to write something that's a positive for the forum, that might enlighten someone's day, you won't get any replies, reactions, nada.



I've mentioned this before, but I truly think that being able to "Like" posts would be incredibly helpful. You could make it so that you can only see "likes" on your own comments so it doesn't turn into a war about who is in the right by ways of counting the "likes."



I use Reddit a lot, and I'm frankly very rarely negative, pessimistic, or combative there, because being nice and affable tends to get you upvotes. It sounds pathetic, but it feels good going back to your comments and seeing "hey, five people liked what I said here." That type of engagement just doesn't exist he

Imagine Iran blowing up Jewish heritage sites in Israel, this is specific depravity against Iranian civilization and historic record of thier progress. Displaying Taliban and ISIS level of backwards thinking.

This dude is so dumb…

[Jansen]

israel's fascist government and the most extremist elements of the zionist movement have successfully weaponized accusations of antisemitism to stifle legitimate criticism of their apartheid policies, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. it is depressing to watch the site management play useful idiots here. never again should mean never again. but it is turning into "certainly again" as israel gradually purifies its ethnostate, expands its territories to attain living space, corrals palestinians into ghettos, decriminalizes and promotes pogroms against palestinians in the west bank, locks up innocents in prison and torture camps, and now finally moves towards mass execution of people in said camps without due process, as we, for the sake of decorum and respectability, are unable to call it for what it is.

Those assholes are going to comeback tomorrow and discuss vidja and Mahvel films like nothing happened. And they know that BDumbs is not going to perma ban them as they courageously say “see you in three weeks”. 

If they mean any word they were parroting, the best thing they could do is just log out in masse.

How many people do you think Brian Thompson has been responsible for dying as UHC CEO?

I think a minor joke is okay, all things considered.

But he didn't do it tho.

My eyes rolled so fast and so hard to the back of my head that Earth's rotation sped up

Brian Thompson sure loved murdering people. It was his job to make sure that people died after they had paid their insurance money.

Chopper would probably also murder someone that's directly responsible for the death of millions of people through insurance scam

okay, thanks. keep us posted if anything changes

If the show is successful... they might legit go mental. I feel that's why theyr scared and angry about it.

If the show is good and reaches Goblet of Fire which the movies butchered badly, its gonna blow up so much as thats like one of the best books ever.

[BIONIC]

I think they rely on people "reporting" it and saying it's a good post or something.

Likes will never happen, why do people keep asking for it. If a bunch of people like a post someone gets banned for then they gotta ban like 20 other people too

Not if the likes are invisible to everyone but the recipient. It's such a simple idea that keeps all the upsides with none of the downsides.

Who cares if it's invisible to everyone but the recipient. What would be the point

Also you better believe moderators will be able to see the likes. And they will most definitely ban anyone liking a bannable post. Don't you think people would call for the heads of all the "invisible likers also"? Lol

The point is the recipient sees it. If you don't see the point, that's ok, but it's self evident to me.

But you're right about the staff. It would have to be invisible to them too or it's not workable. This is the most aggro place on the internet I regularly visit, and I generally avoid contentious topics, so I forget how fraught things can get here.

This doesn't address the issue with your idea: people will just give likes to posts that dunk on each other or are endlessly combative. The whole point of the system is to try and reward people who are actually having fun or doing cool things, it's meant as a way to try and stop people from constantly being at each other's throats and instead have fun together. The problem is that most of the posts that get suggested are literally just dudes dunking on each other in contentious topics. Your suggestion would just be a way to reward the very behavior everyone constantly says they want to see less of.

And before some fool decides to jump up and down on my head, yes we are actively talking about the other thing.

This seems weirdly antagonistic for no reason?
