Neon got a really long leash, both on CE and on Discord, and I'm not sure why anyone is saying otherwise. Whatever it was that happened with Cass was the final straw, but let's not act like he wasn't told to stop numerous times before, by both men and women. It's the same as on GFAQs: dude had a really long history of the same behavior and could not (or would not) stop himself. Keep doing shit people tell you to stop doing and you're going to get got eventually, that's just how it works.

Neon's problem isn't that he hornyposts, anyone trying to frame it that way is just being disingenuous. Neon's problem is that he has no understanding of the fact that there's a time and place for it, and that people don't want him (or others) hornyposting whenever, wherever he wants. Neon would try to handwave it with "that's on you for not wanting to have fun," because, apparently, acting like a hormone-high teenager is the only way.

I can guarantee you if Neon does even half of this shit IRL, he would have picked up felony charges by now. I'm assuming it's either a gimmick or he at least has enough self control to only do it online.

tl;dr most people like Neon when he's not waving his dick everywhere, but that means about as much as people saying they like Caution when he's not talking politics

So first off, don't use Chrome. Ever. 2025 Chrome is trash that's tailor-made to feed you ads.

Second, as mentioned, Firefox + uBlock Origin will solve 99.9% of your problems, and you can transfer bookmarks pretty easily, especially if you have it on desktop.

AdGuard for those on iOS
I use 1Block, not familiar with AdGuard. 1Block works great although blocking elements got a lot more annoying because it doesn't do it directly in Safari anymore.

buddah86 posted...
It baffles me a little that ad blockers arent more common place.
Google has basically declared war on ad blockers. They've updated Chrome's backend to basically disable all but the most primitive ad blocking, and while it's just Chrome for now it's likely it will propagate to Edge, Brave, and other browsers that are based on the Chromium codebase. Then there's Youtube, where they're trying to block user access if they detect an ad blocker.

Also, I think you're underestimating how tech illiterate most people are. Many people don't realize ad blockers even exist, and trying to explain it to some of them will just give answers like "it works fine leave it" even after you tell them that ads are one of the main sources of malware.

Yeah, there's no other way to explain why Bethesda is so abysmally bad at advertising / clarifying these editions / upgrades other than it's being done maliciously to confuse people into wasting money.

Seems to me like they might get more fish to bite if they were actually up-front about what they were offering (in the case of Skyrim SE it was about $150 worth of official Creation addons for $20), but hell, what do I know about running a business?
One problem is that paid mods are deeply unpopular in Bethesda gaming/modding communities (both TES and FO), and it's not entirely clear if paid mods are going to stop like Skyrim AE did, or if they're just offering most/all the current ones in the Anniversary bundle but still pushing out new paid mods.

You'd think Beth understands that modders are a huge part of the draw of their games, but M$ is one of the most incompetent companies I've seen lately so...

Nevermind that you own the DLC and base game already. You absolute fuck head.
For those who don't understand what TC is referring to, when Skyrim Anniversary Edition came out they sold the CC content as "Anniversary Edition Upgrade," which only included the CC stuff itself (granted it couldn't have included anything else since Skyrim SE already includes all DLC). Here, they're selling this with all DLC plus the CC content as "Anniversary Edition Upgrade" with no discount for DLC you already own, while the CC content itself is sold as "Creations Bundle" for 19.99 USD.

Basically trying to confuse people in paying extra for the content, since almost anyone who would consider the CC bundle either owns the game and all DLC, or never owned the game at all (in which case they'd buy the Anniversary Edition bundle which includes the base game). Thanks, Microsoft!

2024 would be interesting. But there would be no insurrection from Trump and all this other b.s. retaliation..If Trump managed to somehow win in 2024 as his first term, he wouldn't be as crazy as he is now in 2nd term, and maga wouldn't be nearly as big.
The fact that Trump only lost 2020 because of COVID kind of goes against the idea that he would have lost both 2016 and 2020. If Hilary had won, she'd likely have had a lot of the same problems Trump did in 2020. You can argue about whether Trump 2016 > Biden 2020 or Hilary 2016 > Trump 2020 is worse but there's no way Trump loses both elections.

TopicThere's a surprising dearth of JRPGs with character creation
bover_87
11/03/25 6:30:37 AM
#30
ReturnOfDevsman posted...
JRPGs are WRPGs are two separate genres, tbh. And the naming is honestly a slew of misnomers. They both get their DNA from tabletop RPGs, but the two are just built on totally different takeaways.

What it ultimately boils down to is this: a WRPG is about role playing, while a JRPG is about story. Now, that's a gross oversimplification. Obviously each do a lot of both, and that's true of just about any genre. But when you look at the basic appeal and the basic concepts that form these kinds of decisions, this is definitely the distinction.

Take, for example, Tales of Vesperia. This game would not have worked with a character creator. Reason being, our hero Yuri is written as a deconstruction of the genre itself. Notably, his foil Flynn is legitimately who the hero should have been, by genre conventions. And the majority of the story is spent commenting on how Flynn is ineffective in the world of the game because of that strict adherence to dogmatic virtues that simply don't work in this world. And a large part of that is his look, along with Yuri's. If you could make Yuri look like Flynn, I mean, it would work against what they're trying to do here.

But in contrast, you have something like Mass Effect, where Shepard's identity isn't the point. The point is you get to interface with this story the way that you want to, to the point that you can kill off entire civilizations if you want to. If your character is supposed to look the part, then it has to be up to you to decide how they look, since it's up to you what that part is.
This basically, I'd just add a few things.

One of the main reasons for the division in types/emphasis is that adding role-playing elements tends to reduce the depth and coherence of the story. This is why JRPGs focus so heavily on fixed backstories; it allows for much more sophisticated and rich storylines than if the protag is just whatever the player wants them to be. Also, adding more opportunities for choices greatly complicates designing the story, which usually also requires concessions to maintain a viable plot structure. Conversely, setting backstories and even character archetypes in stone obviously limits the player's freedom of choice in how they approach the game.

For example, the Mass Effect trilogy handled this about as well as I've ever seen in a WRPG, but even then there were points where the story was clearly constrained by the player's freedom of choice (for example, numerous plot points in ME3 essentially boil down to either the "intended" character doing something if they're alive, or some random substitute doing it if they're dead for a point/plot penalty; there are also the Virmire survivors who are practically identical after ME1).

These design tradeoffs are why the two subgenres exist and also why they've mostly remained separate even to this day. The nomenclature is kind of outdated at this point (Clair Obscur is made by a Western dev but is clearly a JRPG), but it's still true that Japenese devs tend to favor story while Western ones tend to favor role-playing and at this point it's unlikely to change considering how entrenched it is.
