Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1363

(+) Yeah! (+)

It is exactly the extreme opposites' combo of "massive amounts of pornographic content easily accessible" and "extreme, borderline-taboo censorship" about the matter that made me end up being exposed to inaproppriate material at the age of 8, baffling me about why was sex such an incredibly frowned-upon matter despite looking pretty and enjoyable, while at the same time forcing me to stay silent on the matter because "everyone says it's wrong".

It also didn't help that everyone at Elementary School talked about how "cool" it was watching some extreme things like, say, The Exorcist (especially girls for some weird reason) while no one actually talking about media with nudity on it (save for the boys that gathered to discuss about San Andreas nightclubs and stuff), and especially girls ending up being grossed out at the matter or calling you a pervert for ONLY barely talking about the matter.

To top it all off, at least where I live, you didn't receive sex education until 5th grade (way too late, imo), and it just explains the mechanics without getting into the moral, physical and emotional impact it carries to a certain individual.

I personally grew up pretty frustrated about the matter, not being able to understand what was wrong about all this until many, many years later.

Anyway, The Guy gets snubbed for best daddo.

Actually, Asgore could make a good competition here.

---

Barret mostly gained at Jecht's expense. That makes me sad.

Imagine voting for Jecht in a Fathers Day poll.

I don't have to imagine it. I did it.

For those who were discussing the supposed lack of strength in PC games, it's amazing around 76% of the site uses Steam, and around 80% play PC games in general.

Votes none of the above

The options for this poll are always bad

---

Okay yeah how is Star Fox 64 not here?

---

They replaced Conker's Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark with Donkey Kong 64 and Pokemon Snap.

I imagine Snap is only on there due to the announcement of the sequel.

Mario Kart 64 and Star Fox 64 are the notable games to have yet to appear in this poll. After that we are in niche fanbase territory.

---

It does please me greatly that DK64 is dead last so that's something

Not funny

Didn't laugh

---

Not my problem

---

Donkey Kong 64 has a ridiculously high metacritic score (90) which might be why it was chosen to take up a spot.

---

While true, it's behind more than 9 other N64 games

You have to watch more DK Rap memes to get the joke.

Oh, by the way, Min Min for CBXI.

---

Golden Sun SFFing Pokmon Ranger? :o

---

Nice to see Vandal Hearts, even if the 2010 is so ugly its difficult to play.

---

Skate 4 needs to carry over its predecessor's hilarious glitchfest.

Is the MOBA genre disliked outside of GameFAQs as well? After the Pokemon MOBA announcement I've been seeing a lot of comments that trash the entire genre.

I feel like MOBA, like FPS post-Halo, trend towards love-it-or-hate-it opinions moreso than most genres.

---

even people who play MOBA hate MOBA, much like mobile gacha games

---

People generally dislike MOBAs from what I've seen (in spite of the viewer numbers they draw) and gamers as a whole are extremely anti-Tencent (the new pokemon game has them involved)

Not a good combination on top of the massive Sword/Shield criticisms people still have

---

Man people don't like Chinese companies it seems. Strange.

theres a (probably unreasonable) concern within a lot of the gaming community that the moment Tencent gets involved with something it will become a Chinese propaganda machine filled with censorship

but realistically this stuff hasnt actually affected anyone outside of China except in cases like that pro Hearthstone player getting banned for supporting Hong Kong protestors on a stream

I think if youre not a person whos into MOBA, it can be one of the least fun gaming experiences around. Theres a strong chance of your first game in LoL just being an awful experience of people being assholes to you because youre not doing it right.
Leads to a lot of people really disliking the genre.
---

Its unreasonable outside of the biggest example proving it.

i mean for the vast majority of people playing a game this isnt actually going to affect their experience

if you were planning to use this Pokmon moba specifically as an outlet for anti-Chinese government activism then I guess tencents involvement might be a problem
---

oh but really the unreasonable people I was thinking of are the dudes on Reddit who think tencent owning a small percentage of the site is causing the site to censor anti-Chinese dissent
---

i believe that you believe that
---

And that's because of Tancent and not a moderator on a power trip?

@UltimaterializerX So American values of freedom are fine..except when there is money involved. Nice.

If you deny the obvious then you are willfully ignorant or a moron.

I like how the response to the top comment there shows a different post of the Biden question wasnt taken down

so maybe its not some conspiracy and theres something more to the OPs screenshot

You guys also don't really use Reddit much. I've been on there since Draven.

I do use Reddit much. My account is eight years old and ive got like 10,000 more comment karma than you do.

but this conversation doesnt belong in the contest topic so Im just going to drop the subject

Why does P4G count as Persona 4 in GotD2 but P5R does not count as Persona 5 in PotDs and likely GotY polls?
---

Because contests and POTDs aren't the same

but who cares because ya go my FFVIIR

Hey Moogs.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/hha6qi/its_been_a_pleasure_fellas/

Ill bet you $100,000 that most, if not all, of the subs that get banned are right wing.

Since you dont have that kind of money, Ill just take acknowledgement that Im right. Reddit is about to be tumblr.

I agree with you that if the banwave happens it will be all/almost all right wing subreddits.

Where we disagree is on the conclusion youre drawing from an anti-racism banwave almost exclusively impacting right wing subreddits.

I don't see how this follows. Wouldn't P4G not have been allowed in GotD 2 if it really counted as Persona 4 for contest purposes?

Man, this is uh.

A really bad performance by FFVIIR, but maybe it'll look better if Animal Crossing drops a lot.

---

people love this animal crossing, maybe its actually strongish?

I mean, Animal Crossing is going to look good out of the gate and FFVIIR is going to go up overnight.

It wasn't going to be as strong as the original, but clear GOTY favorite is good enough. I'd actually respect the strength of New Horizons.
