Yeah Lustrous Shield helped, but I was still taking too much damage. I packed it in for tonight, gonna try again tomorrow. Just a really frustrating fight, by far the worst in the game so far - the repeated stun-locks makes it a really bad and frustrating sort of difficulty

There's part of me that wishes this game bucked tradition and put Nahyuta as the prosecutor of the first case. Like just, fuck it, no Payne this time, Phoenix just getting thrown straight into the fire with a scary and formidable prosecutor. I feel like having Nahyuta be introduced in 6-2 takes the edge off of him a little bit. 6-2 would be a better case if it was Klavier or Simon instead of Nahyuta, and just don't have 6-2 be a case about the new prosecutor and have it be focused on Apollo and Trucy instead. I dunno, I know this is kind of a radical rewrite of the game, but I just dislike the way they used Nahyuta.

This would have been way better. Just keep Nahyuta out of the "US" entirely. I've said this before but I was furious when he popped up in 6-4 as well. Jesus.

6.5/10 for this one

The huge post, list of resources, and focus on how "everyone" must be accepted and that "heated discussion" must remain "civil" is a fairly obvious message to trans people to either make sure bigots feel comfortable or to leave. I fully believe they'll mod blatant transphobia but between the politics ban, removal of the Sexuality board, and the horrendous both-sidesing in the anti-transphobia post it's loud and clear that they're going to moderate trans people for making bigots uncomfortable much more harshly than the reverse.

Fair enough. If it's any consolation, the discussions I've seen regarding transphobia and what will be modded indicate a much tighter leash on anti-trans rhetoric than before with much harsher punishments for it. That said I can't dispute that coupling it with a politics ban and the removal of the sexuality board is anything other than dumb as fuck.

But the moments in TROS weren't fun? I think it's possible I hold Marvel to a lower standard, but I know a bad movie when I see one. There's no defending TROS, while I think NWH - for all its nonsense fanservice contrivances - had something to it at its core, whereas TROS is endless nonsense with no impact.

making the tag auto-blocked by default so you have to opt into that tag, also easy. if you want to limit political talk on a subject, you can also just make the rule of political talk should have the tag, otherwise moderate it. essentially the same rule as this only instead of "ban outright" it's "in a topic with the tag." more complicated and annoying sure but far less egregious than an outright ban.

This option was discussed and rejected apparently

There was no decision made about LUE. Granted it's not very active, but like, if LUE is already walled off like CE, surely political discussion can take place there too? I mean that should be a no-brainer

After the pre-battle tintinnabulation is completed, please stare in pure, unadulterated horror and ominous presentiment at what is unequivocally the best and most versatile Pokemon in the game. Dare not incur Arceus's divine wrath, or else the consequences shall be severe and merciless, and life shall become but an evanescent wisp.

I genuinely think this writeup partly influenced me to use Arceus in my successful DP Ubers team, and to consequently still love Arceus to this day

The name "Current Events" is a "problem" yes

Wanglicious posted...
worse than that Reg, CE is at the forefront of this issue because that's where a lot of are the mods come and where a lot of things get modded, partially because it's where a lot of people went to after the politics boards were killed.

The mods being CE-leaning has always been a bit of an issue for me, it unbalanced the way issues were presented and I think was key to this out-of-touch change. That's not really anybody's fault - it's the biggest social board, most mod apps come from there, etc - but I think it has been an indirect part of this.

Reading between the lines, I'm not sure the endgame for Fandom is eliminating the site, but rather eliminating *us* the users. They want a younger, "hipper," crowd, and they think that if they can "reorient" the site to be all about gaming they can do that. None of their recent changes will do that of course, since none of the boards where people discuss politics are visible to new users, but this was probably some order from a sales/management person that doesn't understand how the boards work. They just told someone to remove politics and this was the compromise result. People are trying to get a "why" out of DToast in that second Feedback topic, but he didn't come up with this idea and he didn't want it, so he's not going to be able to provide anything.

The reason why Fandom doesn't care about us ultimately isn't because they don't care about their customers (although I'm sure it's some of that.) It's that they don't even see us as customers.


That's about right

Reading that Tim post reminded me of the European Super League rhetoric from a couple of years back. Older users are being treated like "legacy fans" were when the ESL was first presented
https://www.football365.com/news/european-super-league-liverpool-manchester-united-legacy-fans

So yes Fandom is broadly equivalent to the most grotesque attempt to disassemble a sport in my lifetime - nice job

Also we don't care about CE or it's legacy, we just don't understand why it affects us

The picture has been painted that CE is the only social board. It's the most active for sure, but it's also the worst. That's what has pissed me off the most - we as a community agreed to essentially contain politics to one topic. B8 has - eventually, it got pretty bad there for a while, but eventually - handled political discussions far more effectively than CE has. But CE keeps political discussion and we're just beneath Fandom's notice apparently.

It also doesn't cover the regional boards. 313 is pretty popular and covers a very specific and local brand of politics. So now they need to go to CE to post there too, oh wait, maybe they can't because they never go there, so now they're just...what, locked out of any reasonable discussion on the site?
