Hot takes

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Yeah it was just the general look of the Sheikah that irked me, but mainly because I’m not a huge fan of ”not-Japan” in fantasy in general.
I agree that Zelda feels like it’s own thing eve when it has castles and dragons. To me it’s always had a more fairy-tale feel than just straight up fantasy, but that’s also just a matter of semantic and stuff, so it’s whatever :)

You just put the finger right there, it's a fairy tale (or should I say a legend as the title told us).

This is why I also don't consider Star Wars to be a proper pure Sci-fi/Space Opera franchise but a fantasy adventure set in a sci-fi like environment (while taking more cues from Samurai and Western movies than something like Star Trek), this is why each movies started with the "Long ago, in a Galaxy far away". Even Dune could be told to be more like its own thing with specific themes regardless of its sci-fi world.


But I should go back to hot takes and tell that I've always preferred a top down camera over a third person one in my 3D game.

Hehe, for me it’s always been the opposite. I don’t like it when I can’t see the sky in 3D games.

I think the issue with TPS view is that you have less of a grasp of the enemies behind you.

Even Batman Arkham had a top down view when you're battling.

It's probably the best for action games to allow the camera to go further than the shoulder.

That’s true. In general I prefer it like in Zelda and Dark Souls, where the character is in the middle but a little bit away and you can turn the camera 360 degrees.

Hey I wanted drop by and write down couple more hot takes I remembered here we go:

1-fast food SUCKS: no matter what 5 star restaurant is making it , it will always LACK soul couple weeks ago I bought a fries sandwich its tasty and all but I can't help but say it lacks soul it feels manufactured like a human didn't make this you know what I mean? Compare it to lets your mother food or aunt or the neighbor food it feels like a genuine human being put in effort into it , it may not look perfect but it has a charm a feeling a human presence to it that feels lacking in the fast food.

2-german Tanks are OVERRATED in ww2: this is always discussed in ww2 circles and enthusiasts german army performance and tanks being "excellent" and very modern well no that's what germany at the time tried to show to the world they were masters at propaganda and knew its power they always presented themselves in the best light possible even their uniforms were made to look as best as possible in truth most german divisions used horses for movement , their logistics were horrible , and their TANKS actually quite sucked tigers and panthers suck the best german tank is the pz3.

3-SCP and analog horror are stupid: both include a shady organization that does shady stuff well Analog horror may or may not contain this trope even then its stupid as heck , they always make up some unbeatable monster and the company in the story is somehow unnoticed and there is no public confusion on why X happened or how this person went missing if anything it feels like a poorly mesh mashed attempt at trying to be umbrella from resident evil.

4-perfectionism is dumb: seeking the best performance or perfect performance possible is just stupid it makes you always seek the most expensive of products cuz "it must be the best" instead a better way to think is "does it do the job?" If it does the job pretty well enough then that's good for me only seek the perfect performance if its affordable otherwise its a dumb thing to seek this can be observed in the American vs russian weapons american weaponry is generally seen as perfect equipment the best of all but can be quite expensive and is complicated to maintain and work with , russian weapons on the other hand aren't very expensive are good enough to get the job done and aren't very complicated so unless you can afford American weapons on a large scale go with russian ones.

5-the world is over: you can't go a week on the internet without seeing this doom mongering crap if you read anything about ancient greek , rome or china you will realize we are living in much better times sure not the best but to think the world morally is declining and the world has no more common sense is in my opinion quite wrong the old times had pretty deranged stuff too it's just that today we can see it easily.

6-femboy memes AREN'T FUNNY: same applies for dark humor and racist memes its funny at first but quickly becomes unfunny after a while constant consumption of such memes can lead down pretty dark paths....


I have few "hot takes" regarding NSFW content and its normalization among the youth but I think it might stir up a heated discussion unless you guys want to hear them (8 people say yes then I will do) im going to keep them to myself.

RE 4 TPS view is designed so that that is the case, which is both deliberate and makes the game better. Same thing with not being able to move and shot at the same time.

Olives are tasty

Garlic stuffed olives are delicious.

i don't know much about femboys. based on their appearance, they are guys without the male parts. could be all sorts of reasons for their appeal. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I thought they were androgynous/feminine guys who could pass as female.

I think that it started as a meme for anime but then again bishonen existed long before.

Femboys are males that present themselves as more feminine, I believe you’re thinking of those who Crossdress, but femboys can also do that, just up to them. You could be thinking of trans men? A lot of things existed way before they became memes we just weren’t widely aware of them, off the top of my head I think about how men used to be the only ones allowed to act in theatre so they’d also play the female roles in some part of the world.

I'm curious why they are so appreciated by people that still ends up insisting on the fact they're straight.

Imma be blatant toxic masculinity. For some reason a lot of people perceive gay(or other sexuality meaning they could be in a same sex relationship) men as being less masculine. I’m not going to go into that because of rule 3

i found a link to the first picture that introduced me to this concept. i think you'll see why i am a bit confused on the concept.

I see, idk exactly the context (like if the caption is parody or what not). Sorry to say but explicit content really isn’t a good frame of reference, but I can see how that could be you’re first exposure to the concept of femboys.

yeah, they look straight up like women. the description says that they are dudes.
... kind of don't know where go from there. you say one thing but my eyes see the opposite.
so, i just saved the picture and moved on to other drawings on the site.

But the thing is that saying that "X was never good" is most of the time a lie said by trolls or haters just to get hateviews or people arguing. I've simply disagreed about your opinion (because I consider that telling it as a statement is dishonest when it's clearly a subjective claim).

Saying that Sonic (or any other franchises) was never good is as pointless (and false) as saying that Megaman was never good because someone couldn't finish the NES ones and to annoy Megaman fans.

And telling that someone is "based" is just yet another internet lingo expression to legitimise another's opinion by portraying it as a good thing when it's just agreeing with someone else's point of view (which could lead to a fallacious paradigm).


How so? Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII, Symphony of the Night and Resident Evil 4 are considered to be the best of their respective franchises for a good reason.

I'd still say that people going against the popular opinion solely to appear wiser are not really the best either.


PS: Also I'd say that a personal experience does not constitute an undeniable truth either.

If there is anything more embarrassing to young people about how they speak than using "BASED FAKT BASED BASED" as an expression of an "opinion", I haven't heard it yet. It doesn't make them sound smart, edgy, or "anti-establishment"; it makes them sound like they can't just explain their opinions. (And whether it originated with them or not, neo-nazis seem to love that word.)

By the way, remember that you can just block trolls from showing up on your end by going to their user page and clicking "Ignore." It seems more necessary with some people here than others.

On a related note, the insanity defense is not a "get out of jail free" card. It's a "go directly to jail for life" card. Admitting to being unable to control oneself is saying that one shouldn't be allowed to interact with others for everyone's safety. I'd assume it doesn't work much differently for any troll who argues it in forums.

This is the last thing I’ll say on the topic because feels like it’s going off topic; Also there’s quite a bit to it that I’m not going into
I’ll give some examples

(Don’t play Genshin, best example I could think of ?‍?)
Venti is presented feminine, his design could easily be used for a more boyish female character. He still presents himself as male. He’s a good example of a defined more subjective femboy, since a lot of what character is or isn’t a femboy is subjective.



Rosado from Fire Emblem Engage is an example of a character that is definitely a femboy. These characters dress feminine (a lot of the time because they enjoy it, want to look cute), but refer to themselves as male, this is what

I thought they were androgynous/feminine guys who could pass as female.

Was referring to.

this a subjective subject like any thing that has to do with identity, but here’s my attempt at explaining the bare basics
(Sorry if my formatting is garbage, I’ve noticed it can be when I’m switching between using it on mobile vs my computer )

in the end, it doesn't particularly matter. people will draw what they want to. just like how i draw what i want to. we all have our own stuff that we like.

These "Hot takes" threads are inevitably going to be contentious, but keep the arguments civil please.

Yep, just explaining what the term is usually referring to because you seemed confused

i was. and still am. but thanks for trying to explain it. it might just take a little while to sink in. that's usually the case for me.

 

[miguk miguk]

They should stay civil, but this forum is starting to attract some uncivil people.

I've had to put 3 people on Ignore already. One lost their temper with me just because I gave an opinion with supporting facts and details instead of keeping it baseless. Another acted disrespectfully because the topic I was talking about wasn't to their liking (no rule breaking on my part, just they didn't like it) and went further to insinuate they can behave against the rules if they want because of mental health issues. Still another jumped in to "moderate" by blaming me for the others' behavior, encouraging their rule breaking in the process.

I left that thread and put them on Ignore. However, one of those trolls is now here in this thread, badgering another member for inane reasons, and using the same excuse again. (Seriously, this person is saying they are not capable of controlling their own behavior; that's a huge red flag that needs to be watched out for.) If we're getting derailed over and over by the same people, I think that should be pointed out so that the troll can be treated as the problem, not everyone else.

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

I do need to get this one off my chest: Kaguya-sama is vastly overrated, and most people who like it sound like they have never read a romantic Seinen in their life.

Men can enjoy romance and like cute things too.

Most enemy to lovers ships make no sense.

4k is overkill.

Even though i don't like One Piece, i say is overhated.

 

[RageBurner]

People hating on SCIII was mostly SC2 players on gamecube who couldn't buy a PS2..

I had no idea people even hated SC3. It's one of the best games on the franchise, especially compared to some duds that came after.

@miguk

Well a warning was issued in this case already, and I commented just to make it clear we took notice of the argument. It's not an insinuation of guilt on everyone's part.
