You say the first paragraph is if I don’t agree with the idea that you shouldn’t have sex with people who are considerably dumber than you. It’s generally a little icky if you have sex with someone who is mentally deficient.

You can’t really solve the problem of isekai protagonist not being able to have sex. But when you can’t have sex, it doesn’t give free license to have sex with children.

The thing that makes pedophilia wrong isn’t the body types- its the inherent mental advantage and power you have over others with it, alongside the potential harm it can do to a person’s growth. I will admit that it’s diminished by him being in a child’s body that has no authority over her. But it’s still not right. I posit that yes, he shouldn’t have sex with someone until he’s an adult, and that Roxy is a far better match for his true age than the children he would perv on.

You don’t have to fuck. It’s great and good for your mental, but it’s not more valuable than not being a pedophile.

I acknowledge the crudeness helps attract attention to the series, but it still does not make it right.

I will be a “mouth breather”, as you say, and posit that the problem isn’t his perversion, but the series inability to fully grasp the wrongness of it, and acknowledge that. You don’t need some fairy tale with a moral, but it is troubling when it doesn’t seem like the creators would have a problem with an adult passing as a kid having sex with kids.

It’s very gross! It also felt like a perfect summation of who he was as a person, though I’m sure that wasn’t the intended message that’s a creators sought to portray. He nearly held back like he should have and wanted to avoid doing so because he feared she was making a mistake, which she was!

I’m curious why you feel that way. I absolutely adored the ending of the first season- felt like a perfectly human misunderstanding between Rudy and the princess.

The cringe barrier is definitely hard for me to get through. There’s a lot of good anime with very dumb moments that I struggle to move forward in.

During HisWattson’s 14 hour stream on the first day of competitive, he and his team were duplicating armors a lot at the start. By beating a team, killing the dogs and spiders nearby, and then crafting the evo once or twice, they could guarantee a red evo that would then get duped.

You dive off the map, teammate grabs that evo and then dives off map, then both of you get respawned with red evos and even duplicate items (sans attachments, of course).

They actually got dove by a pred team from last season doing this, but since everyone on the team had red evos, HisWattson’s squad beat them. It was actually pretty funny, if a little bonkers.

And since this season incentivizes placing over kills by a significant margin, this isn’t a braindead strategy, though it requires your teammates cooperating and your squad’s speediness in getting that higher level EVO.

It’s the same weapon, and some armor. It’s actually lead to quite a bit of amusing cheese, where you can duplicate evos using this one simple trick!

Lifeline’s still pretty good if you play aggressively with a team though- she’s great for kind of immediately picking everyone back up for any incoming third parties. I suspect she’ll see more usage again if the new legend isn’t too overpowering a support.

I was using an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller on PC. I don’t know why the right stick didn’t control the camera, if it is supposed to actually work correctly. I guess I must have pressed the wrong button or something. Guess I’ll never know now 🤷

It probably is legal, and if it isn’t no one has the resources possible to fight against Nintendo. At least, no one who would be interested in taking that fight.

My prediction- someone’s going to try running a major tournament, and we’ll see if Nintendo is serious about policing things then (they probably will be, unfortunately). It does mean that any outside investment coming into Melee will be nil from here on out, so it’s effectively capped the growth of Melee forever.

I don’t even know where to begin on the question of “reining in my personal bias”, other than to note all reviews are based on a person’s personal bias, and what they know about the gaming format and industry as a whole. I know it’s a tired trope, but everyone has personal bias, and game/game demo reviews should not try to be objective looks at games (it’s near useless). Reviewers should instead make their experience and opinions known from the start, or throughout the review. That way if their opinions are diametrically opposed, readers who don’t share the same opinions can readily discount it.

Also, while you can empathize with and realize that someone might like a game if they’re into that genre, you can only go so far. I have not played Vampire Survivors, but if it’s anything like FatalZone, I will gleefully state it’s not really a game. Or if I want to be less glib, not really a game I’d recommend for others. Again, for you this might be a good cue to discard my reviews as worthless for you. You should make your own reviews in this subreddit in that case, as it could certainly use more posts.

Thanks! As someone corrected me, it it “Microcivilization”, my b on the misnaming.

The demo really was an excellent content warning in itself. I hope that’s the actual opening- that way people who buy it and don’t know what they’re getting into can find out real quick, and get their return.

Ah, I only played the first level, I didn’t finish every demo.

I’m just bad at racing games in the first place, so not being able to move my camera with right joystick really messed with my head.

I’ll have to check out Earthless. I’ve been in the mood for single player games recently.

I agree on the annoying timed out demo, I thought the same thing when I missed out on a demo during the last steam next fest. Crazy how even demos are impacted by the ethereal nature of digital storefronts and their sometimes inconsistent access.

It took a lot out of me making time for these demos when I work a full-time job, but I just knew something like that was going to happen if I didn’t get around to them.

Who is having trouble finding a hotel room in New York City? It’s expensive, but everything is expensive there.
