Re: Random: PETA Makes Woolly Statement About Sheep Pokémon Wooloo, Backlash Ensues

Mopati

These pet killers don't deserve to say that people shouldn't harm animals.
That's what they do for a living.

People here don't seem to know that they kidnap pets to kill them because "it's better than being treated as pets".
They've been found doing this multiple times.
They have shelters for animals, but don't expect them to live for more than a day there, because, yeah, you guessed it : better dead than pets.

We should protect animals from them. They don't have the heart in the right place. They just want you to hand over animals for their shady business.

Re: Review: Blaster Master Zero 2 - Pure, Retro Platforming Goodness At Its Finest

Mopati

When I saw the 2 was out on the direct, I decided to buy the 1, and...

Wow, that one was not very good, I was left disappointed... It's good enough to not be bad, but there's waaay too much flaws to make it more than that.
I'm surprised to see praise for it here.

(Also, I jumped at that sentence "Of course, it wouldn’t be Blaster Master without a hefty amount of exploration"...
Did you really play the first one? o_O
The only exploration there is on the top-view sections are dead ends with no reward except for like one pack of health, and in the 2D sections, the side paths are barely out of the way!)

@SuperGhirahim64 They had a blueprint to follow then to improve upon it.
The Ultra games aren't bad because of new problems they added, it's quite the contrary in fact, it just is boring because it took back the flaws of Sun/Moon. I'm not sure they had a choice in that matter.

So I don't think you have to worry because the "younger generation" isn't responsible for what is bothering you.

Re: Rage In Peace Is "An Extraordinarily Deep Rage Game", And It'll Smash Up Your Switch Next Month

Forced to die again and again by things impossible to predict...
There's a big possiblity this will be very bad.
They'd better have checkpoints every minute of gameplay and find other ways to make it entertaining, or it will just be very, very bad.

Funny, this argument is often brought for games that are hard in a bad way, to say how unpleasant it is,...
And they made it a selling point.
That doesn't seem right.

Re: Rogue Legacy Arrives On Switch eShop Next Month

Mopati

Oh, this game!
I liked it so much that I tried to see how far I could go with the first hero only!
I had a computer that wasn't powerful enough for the game at that time, so it was slow down by a lot. I remember trying from time to time to play on that version to do miracles, like killing the first 2 bosses and lose on the third one with the first hero only.
Good times. ^^
I might buy it again out of nostalgia.

Re: Random: Super Mario Party Shows That Nintendo Still Can't Decide Birdo's Gender

Mopati

@Silly_G I have a lot of things to say about that, as you seem to contradict a lot of answers I've had by asking trans people, but I'll keep simple and short.

Can you answer that simple question:
What pushes people to be trans?
In what life situation does someone become trans?

(I've seen a paragon of masculinity become a trans woman, and a guy very, very feminine who doesn't want to be trans (and is hetero), or even a trans girl that doesn't want HRT because she doesn't want to conform to feminity and be her own person. And that's not the only cases I saw that disprove the idea of this being the cause of feminity/masculinity.)

Re: Random: Super Mario Party Shows That Nintendo Still Can't Decide Birdo's Gender

Mopati

@Silly_G You seem to have an academic view on the subject, except that the base of your argumentation is flawed and therefore, your conclusions too.
Fun fact : I was thinking excatly like you until a few weeks ago, but by talking to actual trans people (instead of an external professor), I saw something was amiss, and decided to do some more researchs.

So, you seem to mix up multiple gender terms.
There's usually 3 things we think of when we speak about it.

Gender norms : how a man or a woman "should act" according to society.
Gender expression : how someone expresses his gender. You said it yourself, you're not a bloke, your gender expression doesn't match 100% your gender norm. Different terms.
Gender identity : how you "feel" you are. That's the most important one.
(And then, there's the biological sex, which does not have anything to do with gender.)

When you talk about gender, you seem to forget the most important one, identity, and focus instead on the expression one (and mix it a bit with the norms).

People who don't care about gender identity but expression instead are transvestites. That seems to be what you have in mind when you talk about trans.
On the other hand, trans people do care about gender identity, and that's what makes them trans in the first place.
In a way to express their gender identity, they often (but not always) change their expression, and sometimes even their biological sex, so that other people stop making them feel bad by calling them the opposite of how they feel like they are.

Now, how do they "feel" they are a man or a woman when that's not matching their sex?
Well... That can't be "explained". It's a feeling.
You can try to rationalise a feeling as much as you want, if you never felt it, it will seem alien.
Try to describe anger to someone who can't feel that. It will feel like an invention to them, something that doesn't exist.
They will probably say at one point "Why would you choose to be angry, if it's bad, then?"
You just have to accept that's how they feel and they can't choose it.

Now, I won't say that you did a bad job. I did the same reflexion recently and came to almost the same conclusions!
It's just that it's natural to not know everything, and it's normal to make mistakes because of it.
And now you know more!
(Also, please stop saying transsexual, as gender doesn't have anything to do with sex, and it implies it's like heterosexual or homosexuel, as in a sexual orientation.)

Re: A World Exclusive Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee Trailer Will Air This Weekend

Mopati

This game is proof that gameplay is not important anymore in Pokemon games to sell.

Let's just copy/paste pokemon yellow's overworld, even up to the trainers and their pokemon, improve it with easy fanservice and more fanservice, and remove what made the game in the first place.

This is really cheap work. It looks like one of my work when I see that I have a 3 weeks work to give in 2 days and I've not done anything yet. Seems shiney, but isn't.

If this works, it will encourage devs to stop trying to improve the mechanics of the serie as cheap strategies do work.
And that, I don't like.

Re: Pokémon GO Is Allegedly Abusing Its Android Storage Read Permissions To Combat Rooting

Mopati

That... Can be potentially bad. Very, very bad.
They can "hack" our phones if they want to, and extract everything, like our passwords or even our bank account coordinates if you bought something with it.
Of course, they probably won't do this, but... What if an hacker got control of the game with a script at one point?
... Yeah. It'd be an easy way to get all sort of very dangerous data from all players.

@DABYX and @Kimyonaakuma , that's the worst that could happen.

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th August (Europe)

@oji Calling "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes " and "2064: RAM" shovelware?
You do not know what shovelware is.

It's always the same thing. Because you see there's a lot of game, your first thought is "they must be all shovelware!".
Guess what? It's possible to have a lot of good and new games in the same week. Yeah, I know, hard to believe.

Always that reaction in the comments here.
"A lot of games = bad quality games."
Things do not work like that. Not at all.
Quantity. Does not mean. A lack of quality.

Re: Nintendo Announces Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee! For Nintendo Switch

Mopati

Oh come one, the Pokemon company said again and again that this is not, in fact, a spin-off, but a game in the core serie.

The only reason why people say it's a spin off is because they said that "a new core serie game is coming in 2019".
Where does people see the confirmation that this game is a spin-off here?

Even the Pokemon CEO himself said this is in the core game serie!

Seeing all those people say "yeah, it's a spin off so I'll look into it, thanks god it's not in the main serie"... It kinda breaks my heart.
