that was literally CE in like the mid 2000s, tho. as far as I remember The two boards were always very similar. It's why most everyone from LUE moved here when that board got locked. But that was 20 years ago so even people that have been on CE for a long time might not remember what it was like back then. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

A lot of people claim my criticism of the game equate to "hate". It was lacking in rpg elements, being action is fine, but why does Trial of mana, a niche game remake got party members and not a high budget game. I think there's a lot of criticism that is valid, but in some cases I feel like people's memory of JRPGs doesn't really line up with the genre. For example: complaints around weapons and armor being "just stats bonuses." This is true, but in nearly every classic JRPG that's exactly what it always was. You reach the latest town and you go to the weapon/armor shop and you buy everything because it's newer than what you have and thus better. MAYBE some secret endgame weapons had special effects, but in general that's how it always was. So when people say "the weapons are just stat upgrades" in regard to 16 not being a "real" JRPG I'm just left wondering how when that's exactly how nearly every other JRPG does it. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

but in all seriousness, what you're describing sounds a lot like The Evil Within: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evil_Within The game centers on protagonist Sebastian Castellanos as he is pulled through a distorted world full of nightmarish locations and horrid creatures. Played in a third-person perspective, players battle disfigured nightmare-like enemies, including bosses, using guns and melee weapons, and progress through the levels, avoiding traps, using stealth, and finding collectables. EDIT: the plot, to be specific. The gameplay you're proposing is way less combat oriented and sounds closer to Layers of Fear. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

You really think they have it all setup for this? Like you post on some obscure board gamefaqs is never gonna delete it. I don't think they do, but the penalties for failing to comply are in the ballpark of 10 million euros, so if fandom wants to be heavy-handed and force down policy on us that nobody wanted then I'm perfectly happy letting them deal with EU bureaucracy. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

They about to put a hit out on you mang Yesterday was the topic about making sure that you disable your tracking cookies. Today is about your right to be forgotten. If anybody else has any suggestions, my plan is to just keep posting things that aren't a TOS violation but are very explicitly against fandom's business in protest of all their dumbass decisions. After all this time, I'm not going to go out with anything lame like an account suicide, but I'll absolutely be a pain in the ass to corporate until they shut it all down. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Anything else we should turn off on here I'm trying to figure out what would be helpful and also a protest against Fandom that isn't a TOS violation. I need to do some digging, but any EU members quitting may be able to fill out one of those "right to be forgotten" forms which would legally require Fandom to strip any content associated with your account from their system in its entirety. Not sure if it applies here, but it would be a nice way for users quitting to stick it to Fandom. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

This is exactly the same as what the people who thought the reddit blackout would work said. Mods will get replaced in an instant with bootlickers and then you're stuck with worse mods, congrats you've achieved even less than the reddit blackout. At this point I'd rather see all of the mods that have been around for decades actually stand up for the community that they've been volunteering to support and get replaced with bootlickers so that everyone finally has an excuse to say fuck it and leave permanently. That's better than this weird slow burn we have now where the writing is on the wall and fandom just slowly turns up the temperature on the pot while telling us that they have grand plans to make this place better and that they care about our feedback to mitigate the inevitable Exodus they themselves created. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

I doubt these admins are giving the mods any say in how the site should be handled. Which is unfortunate because the admins don't actually have any leverage over the mods since it's a volunteer position. The mods could pull a Reddit and all collectively just stop doing their job out of protest and there is literally nothing the admins could do about it because fandom's not about to start paying people to actually enforce the terms of service on this site. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The frustration is ultimately about an investment Capital group funding a company that everyone hates that is starting to take actions we could all see coming a mile away that will slowly whittle away what's left of this community until it's nothing but a bunch of wikis and q&a's.

Wow I didn't know that, super legit. George Lucas is the only person I can point to that engages in what I have to call spite philanthropy. For example, he owned a large lot of land adjacent to his neighborhood and wanted to build an independent film studio for up-and-coming artists to have a place to film at low cost. The other people in the neighborhood complained so much that he ended up canceling the whole project and instead donated the land to the township under the explicit agreement that it can only be used for low-income housing: https://www.pacificresearch.org/george-lucas-reluctant-yimby/ I'm pretty sure him selling Star Wars to Disney and then donating the money was similarly motivated. He had to know Disney would drive the franchise into the ground, but he also didn't seem to love how crazy and obsessive fans were, so giving them their monkeys paw wish and then using his profits for charity absolutely lines up with something he would do. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Decades of mass shooters and overt calls (not to mention actual attempts) for violent overthrow of the government by right-wingers, you mean. No, I mean when the government looked into election interference by Russia in 2016 they found an almost equal amount of paid propaganda in support of both parties. They find wedge issues and then intentionally inflame them until everyone hates everyone else. This has been extensively reported on and a known strategy Russia and other countries have been using for decades.
