I've heard that recommendation a lot - "play DS1 first because otherwise you won't have the patience to play it later", and TBH all that tells me is to skip 1, play the more recent entries, and then move on to the many, many other games that I keep meaning to play, lol.

Edgeworth's games are very different in structure but SO GOOD. I played the first one when it came out and it instantly became my favorite in the series. I still need to get around to playing the sequel though, lol.

I've bounced off a couple souls games before but I'm now like 150 hours deep into elden ring on a friend's copy, lol, but they only have the base game. I'd like to play the dlc (which is not on sale) eventually so I think it makes sense to get my own copy at some point (I've heard transferring saves is pretty easy on pc)

ETA: I normally don't like hard games but I keep feeling like elden ring is encouraging me to be better rather than trying to defeat me, which is a difference I think a lot of hard games miss

Ugh, I have to decide between the various ace attorney collections, elden ring, and lies of p, because I can't justify buying all of them....

IMO outer wilds has a strong tone of optimism and hope in the face of existential dread, so I think you're probably good on that front. And if you're at all a fan of environmental storytelling and don't hate physics sims, I think you'll like it just fine. If you're super unsure, maybe watch like the first hour (or less if you find your answer early) of someone doing a blind playthrough and see if the manner of storytelling grabs you.

Shade from what? Yall don't even have the sun, lol

I suspect many of the uncut ones are less obvious and thus may have had their purpose misidentified. Also, it's unclear if these are cut or merely retracted

There's a lot of negativity in here and I want to share a different perspective.

First of all, it is extremely, overwhelmingly obvious that your posts are satire. Looking through your posts, I found it basically impossible to imagine thinking you were serious, even if I had agreed with the things you were saying.

Second, all of the criticism here seems to be about how folks are sensitive when it comes to stuff about modern politics. That's understandable - a fresh wound will be sensitive, after all. But I think that "this kind of humor makes me feel bad about the world" is the sort of use case the block button was made for. A better argument against what you're doing would be that you're causing harm, doing things like radicalizing people or antagonizing oppressed groups, which I haven't seen anyone argue that you're doing. (If anyone here believes that chad is causing harm, I'm open to having my mind changed, but you'd have to explain why.) I don't think "this isn't how I want to react to awful politics" is a reason to make you stop what I'm sure is a cathartic exercise on your end.

Ada's comment can be found here

And ya, if it's true that Ada was the one dealing with the the reports, I'm not really sure what the mod team was even doing (other than making unpopular decisions without community input)

I've seen a lot of talk about how this move changes the admins the community will be under, but very little about how this will change the randos that pass through. The mods keep saying this won't change anything, that the moderation will stay the same, etc, but the reason this community is the way it is is that there are a lot of locals that find it. When the new community shows up on l.w's local page, it will bring in a far different crowd. Their posts, comments, and up/down votes will change the community, and there's no amount of moderation that will fix that.

Mods, this is why people are mad you made this change without asking anyone. Many of us do not want an influx of .world users into this space because we know what kind of politics and biases they'll bring with them and that, even if you moderate the bigots, the normies will still likely overpower the queer voices this community is known for.

Did you read my comment at all?

Even if you disbelieve drag's identity, they are NOT the reason transphobia exists. TRANSPHOBES are the reason transphobia exists.

Every marginalized group has some faction that is willing the throw another smaller or more marginalized group under the bus. There are gays trying to claim legitimacy by fighting trans rights, and binary trans folks are saying we'd be a lot farther if nbs didn't exist. This is just pandering to people who already hate us in the hopes that we can distract them from ourselves for a little while. It doesn't work and it hurts people who should be our allies.

You mention the kitty litter thing, but you know that was fully a lie, right? It was there in case of an active shooter situation, and the people upset about it weren't gesturing to people like drag, but to furries, most of whom (in reality) are just enjoying playing pretend. They will make up lies and people to get mad about with or without those people, so how could drag possibly be making this worse?

To be clear, the 3 seasons of the animated series "avatar: the last airbender".

There are unrelated blue people movies, live action remakes, and a sequel series ("legend of korra"), but when people recommend avatar (as they should - it's fantastic) they mean the original cartoon version.

Hostility to a person is not hostility to a message. There were other people saying the same thing and getting upvoted for it :)

And yet, based on context clues (upvotes on other replies), we can guess that the downvotes on that comment are based on its tone and not based on its message, which other comments delivered quite successfully. This is the exact definition of cherrypicking.

I just feel like it's always better to use real examples than manufactured ones, and holding up troll comments like this can do more harm than good for the cause.

It's sad to see stuff end, but honestly I'm glad whenever fiction gets a real ending instead of just dragging out for a million years.

And it looks like the author is planning a new comic about gay bird boys, a topic I somehow keep finding more comics about, lol.

This art is very cute so I went to read the comic and it is also very cute!

And for once it's some mer content that's not full of the dreaded (by me) mermaid knees....
