Oh man. There’s only one of those dungeons that I actually like, and I got almost 2/3 through it solo, and decided that I just didn’t care enough. I’m sure I could have done it with enough tries… But ugh. So time consuming.

I totally respect people that do it even once, and people that do it for every dungeon are basically gods.

When I was a kid, Tomb Raider was a pretty easy game, except this one part that required absolutely perfect timing for a some running and jumping between platforms for a bonus item.

At the start, I could make it to the next platform. After a while, I could do 2. Eventually, I got 3. After a long, long time, I finally managed to string all of them together… And screwed up the very last one.

Here’s the thing, though. I got it on the very next attempt. I had learned that sequence so well that it actually wasn’t hard any more, even though it was nearly impossible for me at the start.

Afterwards, my parents (who watched the whole thing) told me they had never seen me focus on something so intently for so long and they couldn’t believe I managed it.

That’s what souls games are, from start to finish. Every single encounter is basically impossible at first, until you die and learn enough to get through it. But you start from the beginning of the game every freaking time.

Nice! Congrats!

Ah, I see. Well, I’m a little surprised it’s backordered that far then.

For fun, I checked Fi… Oct 23-30 for me.

It’s been possible to order pixel 9s for a couple weeks, hasn’t it? When I looked at one after the announcement, it was going to be here on release day. When I looked a few days later, it was going to be a couple more weeks.

I’m not surprised that they’re backordered for a while at this point.

Not only can it be removed, they’ve already said it going to happen soon.

let’s

There’s some irony for ya. :D

Yeah, it was a mistake… After they got called on it.

It was absolutely in there on purpose.

I was so upset when I subscribed to Google Fi and they told me I couldn’t have my Voice account as well. Ugh.

Oh well, sometimes it’s better to rip off that bandaid. I’ve further de-Googled since then and continue to do so slowly.

Yeah, I got that the 150% was a joke. But I think the meat of the uproar wasn’t the joke, but the whole situation of posting this for the community as if it’s an important thing to decide. The joke didn’t help, either, as it shows they weren’t taking this seriously, further enraging people.

Sweeping it under the rug then rubbed everyone the wrong way.

Done well, I think “jiggle-physics” actually call less attention the chest, as it doesn’t look unnatural. The games that get noticed aren’t implementing it that way, though, so it gets a bad rap.

Ah, so there’s a premium version with more info on the downloads, and (I think) more search filters. Thanks!

It seems pretty clear to me that they definitely intended to include breast jiggle physics at some level, and they decided that that was something that should be decided by the community. That would indicate to most casual readers that it’s a priority for the devs. If they didn’t realize that would strike a chord with both the pro-sexualization and anti-sexualization people, they weren’t thinking at all.

This looks like a cutesy, cozy game that probably shouldn’t even have jiggle physics. If they really wanted it in there, they should have just done it and said nothing. The “nasty people” they don’t want to “attract” would have appreciated the jiggle, and everyone else would have just ignored it.

The devs brought it into the spotlight and it got talked about. I’m not surprised at that outcome at all.

Why does it have in-app purchases?

I’m betting that most or all of those have a TOS that doesn’t allow an account to change owners. You might be unsuccessful because people don’t want to end up on the wrong side of those companies and end up losing not only your account, but also their original account.

Judging by another comment here, non-consensual porn is far worse, and causing suicidal thoughts and more.

So I’d say it has all the “gross” of regular porn (which is subjective) and the additional “gross and horrifying” of violating someone.

It’s at least as wrong as fantasizing about them if they aren’t already romantically involved with you.

How wrong that is, is up for debate. It will definitely creep them out and they can never find out about it.

If it’s just in your head, at least there’s no physical way they could ever find out. You’d have to admit it. But if you have it on your hard drive, a hacker could get it and blackmail you with it, or just distribute it.

So my stance is that there’s a non-zero chance of doing harm to them, and so it’s wrong. I wouldn’t do it. I also wouldn’t create it with Photoshop, or by hand, for the same reason.

If you want to jerk off, do it to existing porn, or imaginary people porn. Don’t create porn of real people without their permission, even if you think nobody will ever see it other than you. Accidents happen, and they don’t deserve to bear the cost of that.

Oh wow. I can’t wait to watch that shit show play out.

Wow. I can’t count how many sites I’ve blocked from my newsreader because I was flooded with “How to find Rupees in Zelda” articles that are so basic as to be ridiculous. At the rate of 50 per week, that’s all you’ll get.

I actually do like guides like “How to find the secret underground vault and its 3 keys”, but I don’t want them in my news feed. I want them to be there when I search the site or Google.

I can see a lot of people using the drumroll thing, and that’s going to let it in the door for so much crap.

It’s one of those things that you can see slowly coming from a mile away, but there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it.

For those wondering: The graphic suggests August is a likely month for it, with betas and “platform stability” in the months before that.
