I Liked Forspoken.

[Boredfrom]

Puzzle (noncombat) based isometric Zelda game where you play Zelda and have to also do diplomatic talks with other groups, in which you can romance Hilda, Midna, Mipha or Urbosa, and the game uses the word "Lesbian".

Yeah, that will never happen given how scared the games industry is of the l-word. I want it though :P

It can happen, but it would end being a porn animu game.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-to-do-about-being-stalked-by-a-member-of-another-forum.1002075/

So a few weeks ago I called out someone here on Resetera who had been posting banned sources, as it had been discovered that he was also a member of Iconera and was, let's say, a lot more honest about his opinions over there (all the classic gamergate rhetoric etc.).

This situation subsequently turned into a thread on Iconera where there seemed to be amusement at the whole situation and how this user was pretending it wasn't him, and was really committing to the bit (he later accidentally gave away that it was him):


However, in that thread there was a user that goes by the name of Cool Hand Luke who seemed very worked up about this, and posted in the thread that he was me:



This user then also changed his profile picture to match mine. In the last few weeks I have changed it 3 times and he has copied it every single time, and with the most recent one he also made a profile post:

What do I even do about this? It's quite frankly extremely creepy that someone who wasn't even involved in the situation has become so obsessed with me and is stalking my profile in this way. Looking at his post activity on there, he seems quite deranged which makes it a bit more unsettling.

Sorry if this is not appropriate to post here I just could use some advice, thanks.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-am-having-an-existential-crisis-because-some-random-person-has-an-avatar-like-mine-update-now-a-cowboy-and-doing-a-giveaway.360361/

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a headless suit. To me, being a suit was better than being President of the United States. Even before I first wandered into the chatroom for an after-school troll, I knew what I wanted for my avatar.

I have always taken this form. Back in the bad old days I used imagery specifically from Elite Beat Agents. I made this in Paint based on a few different sprite rips and cleaned it up one pixel at a time.

But over time I moved away from my EBA origins. I have no artistic talent to speak of — I struggle very much with pen and pencil, digital or otherwise. But wanting something truly original, I made something all myself. It looked terrible, but it was my own work and I was proud of that.

But I knew it could be better. Over the next few months I saved to properly pay an artist to redraw the art from scratch with some actual talent. I started with an artist here I really admired who produced a sketch for me to use as a basis going forward.

Then I found an artist on Twitter who I asked to redraw it however they wanted and I would pay them regardless of the result. She returned me this, which I wore briefly as my first professionally drawn avatar.

But I didn't love the posture and wanted something a little more tradmasc, so I found a fledgling artist who I was impressed with specifically because of how they drew men's fashion. I approached them with my concept and they brought back the first "perfect" version of the avatar, which I wore from then on. To a lot of people on the internet, this is what I look like. This is Finale Fireworker.

But mid-2019 to mid-2020 was a rough time for me. I went through a lot of things that really pushed me to the brink of my personal fortitude. Without paying too much mind to the diversion, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. But I did. And as I worked through this stuff, I felt like it was time for a change. It was time to switch out of the suit — at least for a while — and in to business casual. A very talented friend of mine redrew my avatar yet again as a gift into the shirt and suspenders I wear to today.

My avatar, my consistent face online, has followed me through many formative years of my life. It is how I've presented and how I've been perceived for close to 10 years. At no point in this continuum have I ever looked any different online and I never doubted what I looked like. This was me.

Enter @SuccessfulStra3, a random account that showed up on my timeline as a promoted tweet: https://twitter.com/successfulstra3?s=21

They are a mundane account. They have 7,000 followers and mostly tweet vague affirmations and aspirations about "business" and "doing business." But their avatar is... me.

I know logically that this is not really me. I am not a creative genius. It is very normal and natural that someone else would have come up with this idea at some point. The imagery probably occurred to them just as easily as it occurred to me. I do not believe they stole it from me or that my insignificant existence had any influence on this equally insignificant Twitter account.

And yet I feel... compromised. To look on my own image and see not myself has thrust me coldly in to the reflecting pool. What do I do now? Who am I? If someone else can be me, who was I ever? Can I still be me knowing that someone else is too?

I have seen my doppelgänger. I rehearsed this moment so many times in my head. I knew that if I faced them with imperfect courage I would end up trapped in the Black Lodge — maybe forever. And now that they are here I know I have failed this test of character. By virtue of their existence, my own existence has ceased.

Really makes you think. Maybe I should reinvent myself.

I have never played or even seen this dumbass game but even I know it's My Hero One's Justice, because I thought it sounded incredibly stupid, like a typical japanese un-parsable title

maybe if you love it so much that you demand a sequel you should know what it's called

Personally, there's loads actually that I think about.

A JRPG with a black character as the main protagonist

A spiritual successor to Spore

A popular multiplayer Arena Shooter (similar to Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament) with character creation and with no predatory MTX.

A spiritual successor to Rogue Galaxy

A single player game where you can make your own superhero with their own super powers.

Agents of Mayhem 2

The Sword of Etheria Remastered and/or Remake

Soulcalibur VII (Hope I'm wrong about this one)

A sequel to Saints Row (2022)

My Hero's One Justice 3

Sonic Adventure 3

I could go on...

It's no jrpg but not even Ree liked Forspoken 

When a reee user says lesbian they themselves are transbians

The JRPG idea was the pick of the bunch imo

Dude censors Germans but he himself has more shared opinions with Nazi's than anyone else. I wonder if he's trying to use it like Zionist as another word for Jew or some shit. Leftists / Communists suffer from brain disease.

There is a poster there in between(PES) who only has 100 posts since 2021, and is clearly a Chief alt. It’s pretty clear when he plays defense for his other account.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

And he only shows up whenever there is a topic regarding Jews or Israel.

A bunch of fucking Manchurian Candidate motherfuckers on there. ZeroOman is another, Lighinthedarkness (cunt can't even spell his name properly), rzks21, etc.

Quiet when Arab nations kill other Arabs but when it comes to a nation that has a majority Jewish population, they suddenly think it's the worst thing ever.

B-Dumbs is going to have a fun day tomorrow with it being one year since October 7. Time to show your true colours B-Dumbs! Are you going to defend the terrorists and not ban the Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi supporters or be a fucking man and ban them?

Not looking forward to tommorow at all tbh. 

In Europe I expect a lot of shit. In the Netherlands protests have been announced already and the leader of a governing party called participating in such protests blatant anti-semitism. 
There is also the chance that Hamas "celebrates" it in some way with more terror as well and god knows what Iran will do. 

UK and France have told the US they will not help to defend Israel against Iran. 
They're basically siding with the terrorists at this point.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

I expect a massive amount of horseshit on campuses here in Canada tomorrow and "protests" in bigger cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal, etc.

I realize there are people who support the Palestinian people who aren't anti-Semitic, but they are pretty much silenced and outnumbered by the ones who DO hate Jewish people.

Saying that shit when chinas poverty reduction programs are the most impressive we've seen in the history ofof human existence is nuts. Socialism does not mean sunshine and rainbows and it's an ever changing target. I'm not trying to throw on the poms poms but come on man.

I don't know how people manage it. I've been home alone for a month and I genuinely kind of feel like I'm losing my fucking mind. I have to text people every day just to keep myself some semblance of sane. Existence is so fucking boring when there's no one else around to share it with.

Once you're in your late thirties and all of your friends have babies, you basically don't exist once the work day is over. It sucks.

What a surprise that no one wants to live with him, never mind hanging out with him.

China's poverty line is set at an annual per capita income of less than $620, or about $1.69 a day, which is even below the World Bank's global threshold of $1.90 a day. 

They reversed starvation-economics like smelting down utensils from backyard furnaces and collective farming, from their communist period, maintaining the ideological purity campaigns and authoritative political repression and Chief Malik thinks this is great work.  

What cases you talking about because in capitalist countries or let's just say private sector first countries, that can't really happen. There are too many moving parts with different agendas. Government intervention is seen as a bad thing here and everything is getting privatized. It's getting to the point where the military is having issues competing with private companies for talent. I can say that Chinas biggest rival is like blade runner for sure.

Dumbass lecturing this Chinese guy about how a lack of government intervention ought to be lamented, a mere 60 years after 50 million of his countrymen were forcibly starved by the same authoritative government they retain today.  Lol fuck you dude.

Why don't any of these people just move if they don't want to be where they are?  I don't mean that rhetorically, I truly don't understand why they just sit around and complain about their life where they live and don't do anything about it.  It really isn't as hard as they think it is.  I've done it.  I have family and friends that have done it.  Just do it.  Nepenthe, most of the world isn't made up of white people - you can find a nation to live in where there aren't any evil white devils fucking your life up anywhere. Chief Malik, apply to teach English in China.  You're not good at it, but they'll take anyone.  Trust me.   Make a nice home for yourself in that paradise where the government takes a much stronger interest in the welfare of its people than America, or whatever you believe.  These are not simple complaints, they're fundamental differences between what you want and believe in and the nature of the country you're at odds with - they won't be addressed, let alone fixed anytime soon, so just move.   What's the issue?

Bloober, i gotta apologize, i wasn't aware of your game





SH2Remake is incredible

It looks wonderful, the cutscene have insanely good direction, way more than most games, the writing is good, the voice actors are amazing, the animations are great and it feels just like OG Silent Hill 2 did. The exploration, the combat, the puzzles.

They even made a bunch of buildings in the city explorable that weren't in the original, improving the exploration and making the city feel more real in the process.

I played for 10 hours straight.

Only issue so far, i got stuck on environmental objects twice and had to reload.

I hereby apologize to you Blooder Team S.A.

I'm not sure if you're interested, but in a previous post, I went into length on some issues with PES about China's poverty alleviation programs.

Well, I've already apologized for the harsh tone I used at the start, but if this conversation still ends with a Westerner who can't read Chinese trying to educate me that 'Socialism ain't sunshine and rainbows,' then there's really nothing else I can say.

I realize there are people who support the Palestinian people who aren't anti-Semitic, but they are pretty much silenced and outnumbered by the ones who DO hate Jewish people.

Aren’t some of the groups organizing these protests genuinely problematic? Students for Palestine seems to be pretty blatant about it.

I also don’t think most of them  are anti semitic but they should ask themselves who organize this stuff and why. 

I think people should pressure Netanyahu more about rescuing the hostages than bitching about whenever Israel deserves to exist or not. That boat already sailed a century ago.

I would say the vast majority of the groups protesting are problematic. They are pretty much far left or far right, there isn't really any middle ground. Both hate the Jews and Israeli citizens full stop.

I think if one group held a protest saying we are not anti-Semitic, we do not want further bloodshed in the conflict, we want the hostages back and for Israel to surgically strike terrorists, it would go a lot better. No demeaning Israeli's who are just living there, no hateful language, no bigotry and just being rational.

The thing is, it's way past that point now and any group that would try to argue in a reasonable way for peace would get shouted down. It sucks, but it is what it is. No amount of protests will stop the USA from supporting Israel.

People are just too hell bent on hating the West while they enjoy all the freedoms we have here. They're all LARPers and would never move to an actual communist or theocratic country.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

The US alone could stop it in an instant. They just want "Arab" countries to be decimated.
