Hot takes

[Deleted member 121503]

Of course as silly as it sounds most importantly remember woman aren’t some other; Their people too, with lots of them struggling to find someone too, any kind of relationship can be extremely intimating.

Can confirm, am a human being too lol. It's not silly at all, it's really unfortunate to see people so afraid of the other gender. The same thing happens with women too, there are a lot of women unfortunately who think that all men are all abusive and cheating. I mean yeah, sure, the bad apples exist, but they exist regardless of gender. You have to consider the individual people, it's impossible to make an objective judgement based only on a person's gender.

I have built enough pride that I can't stand such petty I have to go out and change the situation otherwise I be furious , I would hate to be labelled a loser some say they don't care what others think but we all know its a lie we all care what other loved ones think of us even if so little we still care and even if its not for loved ones I do it for myself to look at the mirror and say "look at these fella he is awesome" instead of saying "look at what sort of Monster you turned to you are a shame on this family" that's what I used to tell myself back then and I hated being this monster whom destructive behavior hurt and caused diseases to those around him costed them financially and mentally and physically a heavy toll....they say silent hill invites the guilty and the horrible people to redeem themselves and live their worst fears I think my past actions make me deserving of going there if it existed but thank god it doesn't XD , besides I proved to not only me but everyone around me that they were wrong that im right and very right when I said I will pass those exams the feeling of accomplishment of constructing something from your hard work is beautiful you sleep proud of who you are confident in what you can do and eager to explore the new possibilities if I a guy who wasn't able to pull off 1 push up in march 2022 can do 50-60 pushups in a row in February 2024 if I had severe social anxiety can and have enough confidence to change my shirt in middle of the street with people walking because I wore it wrong way then I think anyone here can do what I did and better.

I completely understand, I'm working on myself too lately, both physically and mentally. Self improvement is really beautiful imho, and it's kinda like a videogame too. The only difference is that one happens behind a screen and the other doesn't lol.

the feeling of accomplishment of constructing something from your hard work is beautiful

I know right? One of the best things about all of this. The sheer satisfaction of knowing what you have built is awesome.

Funny story when I first heard the term ‘body count’; I was in the changing room of my school theatre, a girl struts in spouting something like “Girls are like cats, once their body count reaches 9 their dead” unprompted. I was rather confused with that being my first time hearing this, so it took me a bit to process she was talking about killing people.

Can’t edit anymore, so correcting myself this way. I ment to say wasn’t

I think your awesomeness 10/10 haven't meet another equally awesome person like you.

I know that these might sound silly or, you can call me naive, but i had to say it.

Moar! Praise me moar!!

Once I gained more confidence and became more optimistic I got complimented for being handsome , just look at the mirror and see if this person in front of it is worth of self love or not I think yes once you "glow up" from inside you "glow up" from outside ask yourself how does the most beautiful of actors sometimes marry the most average people? If these can get together then you have a chance.

Well personally I think it's a double edged sword, we still don't know what the other person actually see in ourselves. I saw fair share of cases where people hook up with my friends just because they're rich or came from powerful family.
I guess for a regular person living an average life like us, it is a blessing.

I don't get the appeal of romantic relationships anymore tbh. Why would you want someone constantly bothering you and demanding your attention at all times?
I don't think i'm asexual or anything since i'm still attracted to the female form but since i became an adult i have lost any interest in relationships with girls that go beyond friendship or sex.

 

[Tonberry]

I like attractive characters as much as the next person, but I think insisting on having every character in a game be conventionally hot/beautiful/sexy is often boring and safe.

My favorite series is probably Final Fantasy, but I've always found it kind of boring how the main party usually just consists of "a gang of lean, beautiful humans". I hate how the Scions in FFXIV are almost all white-haired and only the hot "normal" races. It becomes homogenous and dull.

Xenoblade 2 is probably the worst offender of this in recent memory.

I love the characters in Baldur's Gate 3, but I think it's boring there too how they feel so superficially samey because of this, until you get to know them of course. For the first, like, at least 40-ish hours of the game you have the hot vampire elf, the hot girl elf, the hot white guy, the hot black guy, the hot frog chick and the hot demon chick, and they're almost all the same height and physique. Then when you're finally able to get your first new companion, I've run into people on more than one occasion who complain that he looks ugly because he looks "too wrinkly" or "too old".

Again, I'm not against those kinds of character designs at all, I just think it's boring when designers rely on it too much, regardless of gender, and it's more fun when character designs are more varied because it makes them and the entire party stand out more immediately, and almost always in a good way.

are you in-character?? this is something I can imagine Travis saying...

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

When someone gets mad at you for something you said, they should let you explain instead of interrupting you every time you try to do that.

As much as women want me, I don't really have time for relationships due my studies and work.
Sorry for disappointing all the ladies here.

Nah lol.

And i'm not really one of those people who likes to pretend like they are their avatar, i just like Suda51 games a lot.

 

[Nidoking's icon Nidoking Nidoking]

I have never understood the appeal of Metallica. There's also many, many... MANY very popular bands that actually irritate me just hearing them to the point of near anger. Like the Beach Boys.

oh boy

-Sonic music is overrated, its good but there's a million different game franchises with more variety and catchier music
-Mario music is mediocre most of the time, especially the Galaxy games
-SMT 2's ost sucks and is too repetitive and uninspired
-Even before the Kendrick diss tracks, Drake was never good, uninspired slop that sounded no different from his contemporaries and even his rapping was mediocre.
-Bohemian Rhapsody is terrible
-Will Smith's only good song is ironically the one where he's salty he didn't make the airwaves
-Friday by Rebecca Black was all right and I've heard way worse even back then. We literally had Baby the same era and it seems now people are bumping that song but still hate Friday with a burning passion and I DON'T SEE WHY
-One Last Breath is mediocre even for Nu Metal
-The Reason by Hoobastank is great
-Nickleback wasn't that bad, overplayed as fuck though
-Graduation was better than Late Registration and College Dropout combined
-Humanz > debut Gorillaz album
-Sonic Adventure 2's music is 50/50. Half of it is ass, half of it is good. The ass tracks are many of the level themes
-Diamond Dust Saturn is better than Genesis
-Rusty Ruin Genesis is better than Saturn
-Sonic Mania's remixes were mostly mediocre and too derivative
-Neptunia might have the greatest music in video game history
-Dragon Quest music was never good

Damn, Definitely hot takes but the Drake one is kinda normal, people have despised him since before the Pusha T Drama.

If I may ask, thoughts on Kanye post-graduation trilogy?

Gonna be honest I remember almost nothing of post Graduation besides a few fringe songs and 2 808 songs

 

[RunicOrangejuice]

you are correct, "Humanz" came prior. I was not aware that it was considered an actual album (as opposed to say, an LP)

 

[Deleted member 257420]

Fair, I have College Dropout above the other two but Graduation is amazing, Bittersweet Poetry is my fav song off it.

I always forget the album has 2 extra songs, I only have the normal album

Apparently he only released them for the Japanese release since it didn’t fit the album, so maybe that’s why.

Well im from neither lol family was rich , I think in time you can know what that person think of you.

Whooooa... I respect your nerve to even say this publicly, regardless of my opinion on the matter itself.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

-Sonic Mania's remixes were mostly mediocre and too derivative

The goal of a remix is to be derivative. Or else it's a cover.

And I'll be honest but Tee Lopes is much better at composing than most other people that worked on Sonic game soundtracks.

-Dragon Quest music was never good

I disagree. And I certainly hope you don't say that because of Sugiyama as a person rather than an artist.

-Sonic music is overrated, its good but there's a million different game franchises with more variety and catchier music

Sonic's soundtracks have variety though. If you don't just think of SA2 (and even then there are like 5-6 genres).

Also what millions with catchier musics? Aside from Mario, Zelda, SMT, Kirby, Guilty Gear and so on I just think Sonic is still A-tier.

-Mario music is mediocre most of the time, especially the Galaxy games

While I don't see myself the appeal of Galaxy despite the grandiose orchestra I cannot genuinely say that Mario music is "mediocre".

Especially when even after 45 years some of the older themes like Underwater are still great.

Barret looks handsome what are you saying? You should've put Cait Sith or Steiner from IX lol.

 

[Elwiwi]

Not my man Steiner ???

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Not my man Steiner ???

I think it's because of his black undereyes and pear shaped head that doesn't help but the art style of IX is cartoony enough while FFVII had Barret looks a bit proportionated weirdly compared to the fairly realistic environments.

 

[Tonberry]

Barret looks handsome what are you saying? You should've put Cait Sith or Steiner from IX lol.

I’m not saying he’s ugly, I’m saying he’s atypical to how humans usually look in Final Fantasy, and that’s a good thing because it makes both him and the cast stand out.

Cait Sith is a cute mascot-type character and so isn’t part of my point, and Steiner looks like a normal man in his setting. Amarant however, doesn’t, he’s a weird blue guy but is still supposedly a human.
