Moth Update: After 2 weeks of having this account locked, I'm back (for better or worse)!
In that window, a lot's happened— graduation, law school admissions, started lifting, and grass touching
While the original plan was to deactivate by the time law starts, it's hard to go…
@jackistired0618
maybe consider that you're the bad guy here and that neurotically attaching labels into yourself to micromanage your personality isn't so healthy
@dinoraye
how does bad writing correlate to a budget?
the writing's either good or it isn't— budget plays no part in the underlying skill of the writers hired
it sounds like you're trying to find a scapegoat because you know the product's shit but don't want to accept responsibility for it
Glad to see more representation and storytelling in animation for Central America, South America and the Caribbean islands. Long overdue and so much potential to explore
Its funny when people pick weird, in-between frames to try and belittle movies. Look I can do it to.
Wait, what? These movies are all good? Of course they are! They exaggerate the poses. They add ridiculous in-betweens. its called animation. You've clearly liked it so far.
@madohomurat
You know what you've done :)
It's not a crime, but it's disingenuous and an abuse of Steam's review system; and in case you weren't aware, you could be flagged for just that
A fun thing about the Aztecs: For the longest time, historians believed the conquistadors to have exaggerated their accounts— that there was no way the Aztecs actually had a wall constructed out of human skulls
This position was held until they actually excavated the damn thing
@KaelanRamos
Or, hear me out: General aesthetics developed by and widely used within the industry change over time, and the person pictured simply prefers the standard of a previous era
It's not that deep, man
it's weird seeing companies complain about having an entitled audience

yeah, that's kinda the point
they're entitled to a good product because they're paying for it

Oh, this is huge
Lany's Dark Lilac is one of the most sought-after inks around, beloved for its color, shading, and sheeting properties
The story's amazing and it endears you to the company
Really German ethos behind them— fitting, since it's been family-run
When your people is consistently represented in such a harmful way or just completely removed from media as a whole, they end up clinging to characters that aren't even their race or even a person at all.
@Flipdark95
the feedback on the game's all positive, but the negative comes from aspects beyond the game itself
keep in mind that in setting its aggregate, steam only accounts for the thumbs-up or thumbs-down
@CapnCinnamon
@dinoraye
That would suggest that decent writing can't be had on a low budget; and if the first drafts are shit, that sounds more like a skill issue on the writer's part
Both animation and cinema's history would tell you that a low budget doesn't necessarily guarantee a poor outcome

@erikkain
See, that's the thing: You're looking high profile people; famous people with safety nets.
To the average person, a false claim effectively stands as a death sentence to them on both a personal and a career level.
@BoymoderSupreme
so like, just to be clear
you're the type of person who's okay with selectively harassing minorities when they lean the other way, right?
@Neon_woof
You deserve to be shamed for this, actually.
If normal people are (justly) shaming you for this, maybe consider that the problem lies with your circles and echo chambers.
@AeornFlippout
I'd give a negative review and discourage people from purchasing
Inshallah may our collective reviews discourage enough people to bring the company down under if the rest of its releases are equally as bad as the first purchased
@ValidLs
Is it an L? Yes
Is it a sad L? Also yes
Can't help but feel for the parents, losing their child to online groomer-types
Bad parenting, maybe; but short of fully restricting online use, it's hard to work around nowadays
@KhaParisDior
Let me get this straight: You paid $600 for a mangled poorly cooked steak coated in roughly a dollar's worth of gold foil?
Go to a dedicated steakhouse or a butcher; you'll get a better steak for a tenth of the price
@toybitzs
@rosselle
That's accurate, actually
The conversion rate between Philippine Peso and USD is roughly ₱50:$1, with our minimum wage being anywhere from $6-11 per day— so $1.73/hour isn't too outlandish
@kennedytcooper
china's economy is collapsing as we speak
bank runs have been addressed by denying citizens access to their accounts
the belt and road debt trap has proven to be china's undoing, on account of african nations' incapacity to repay
@danirosepoet
You are right though. Humanities circles tend to overestimate their overall relevance and impact to the larger society...which is ironic, honestly.
Vonnegut put it best:
The Philippines tried to "make food a right" by creating a whole department to regulate the price of rice to make it accessible to the "poorest of the poor" while creating an emergency reserve
The result was extensive corruption in the Agri sector and food shortages during crisis

everything i know about aboriginals comes from greentexts and a (now-suspended) account here that belonged to an aussie government worker who said they barely scratched the surface
