Well, go and enjoy the four hour long video
I don't watch 4 hour videos on people reviewing a hotel. I can read a paragraph and get the information more efficiently.
It comes up in the video when talking about how influencers say the names of rides compared to normal people and that calling it "The Rise of the Resistance" makes you seem insincere and untrustworthy as a source of information about the ride. And the hotel, in this case.
You brought up the Star Wars hotel I didn't. If you think I'm insincere because I choose to label rides differently than you than that's on you and not my problem. Have you talked to people in the real world instead of just watching Youtube videos about them? Because I place very low value on Youtuber influencers unless their academics talking in their field. I'm not watching a youtuber for 4 hours. I can get a lot done in that amount of time.
You decided to bring it up in this thread like it was a bragging point out of the absolute blue. You know that's a hot button topic
Even from day one orcs weren't always chaotic evil, and the edition that did had them as "Often", not "Always".
Orcs were CHAOTIC from Day 1. Then in AD&D they became Lawful Evil, and 3rd edition made them Chaotic Evil. They did not evolve to Chaotic Evil for 3 editions. You are correct on that.
I brought it up when discussing the 2024 ruleset because I think getting rid of classic races like Half Elf and Half orc is mind boggling. It makes no sense. So Why would I keep Orc when Half orc works better for my campaign? You decided to tell me how wrong I was, like I was naming a ride with its... name. Don't paint me like I'm the one with the issue. You've been on the attack about this.
And well, as someone else who's read those very same things, nah, they're quite compelling and onto something actually, especially with D&D deciding to slap 'guess they're just american indians and mongolians now' onto orcs. I genuinely question your reading of it if you can honestly say 'they're not racially coded!' after looking at that book. Like, you don't put 'Gnollistan' in a book and tell me that's not
I literally said Thar was a mistake. I don't see the racial coding anywhere else. I see pig faces and greenskins. Game Constructs and monsters. When I want to use nuance in morality I can use elves dwarves or humans. Orcs are not representative of any people or culture on earth. But if you look really hard you'll find problems if you want to. Chick Traks made up problems too.
Your view isn't what people see orcs as for the longest time, the green guys have more than taken over what orcs are, and even people who use the pig orcs tend towards them as people
You tend to think you know what lots of people think. I know way more people that really don't think the AESTHETIC of wanting evil races is something to even care about. Most people don't care. I'm just not going to change the way I've used orcs because some people on the internet don't like it. I've literally met nobody in real life that cares. Its all online. [/quote]
There was no 'modern Satanic panic'.
The railing about the aesthetics of inherently evil races is definitely a panic. Its an aesthetic that works.
Doesn't hide the fact its odd you haven't heard of, y'know. Umamusume.,
Since I'm not hiding the fact I don't know the chibi game who the hell cares.
You decided to go on this weird side tangent. And cool, never heard of them.
Come of it. YOU made something of the fact I said I play PC and COnsole games because you made a snyde remark of phones in relation to Table top gaming aesthetics. If I made a weird tangent you took it an ran with it I don't know so maybe you can show off your uber gamer cred? And that your on the up and up about following Youtube influencers?
I am happy I provide a place for you to tout your cred then! Again, I only ever played Warcraft as a wargame never the MMO. I was never part of MMO culture so there is no need to plaster lessons about it all over the place.
And, no, I do think I know what I'm talking about. People call it Bluesky. They don't call it "The Blue Sky Platform". It makes you sound like a corporate shill. Don't know if that's the intention, but that's the result.
To YOU that's the result. Its a platform. I'm sure it did not cause confusion. Not sure how I can be insincere about saying I find the complaints of Blusky funny. You went off on something strange. Enough that you wrote paragraphs about the greatness of random youtube influencers that you seem to REALLY care about. I don't rely on youtube to tell me how people act. I don't care what Jenny Nicols thinks about anything. I don't get my information from youtubers.
I'm sorry just. You don't know umas? You don't know Umamusume: Pretty Derby, the roguelike taking the internet by storm? The one just about every streamer has played recently? You know, that Umamusume, where the horse girls are called umas? You... Really aren't connected to the gaming sphere, huh? The game was plastered all over Steam's front page not that long ago. Its not an obscure game.
No I didn't know it past an advert. I don't really spend alot of communication time on the internet outside of Website Forums. I said I play games on Consoles, PCs, and coach an Esports team. Then you went NUTS telling me I didn't know games I literally wouldn't play, ever. I didn't say I was connected to the gaming sphere in the first place so I don't know how you conjure this stuff.
Why would your first thought be 'some random university' when I'm talking about mobile games? Seriously?
Go and figure out how to get Gold Ship to train for once
Because UMASS coordinates a lot of Esports gatherings on the eastern coast of the UNited States. (Oh was I insincere when I said the Eastern Coast instead of Eastcoast. I apologize) That's my sphere. The one I care about.
Why do you think I have a VAGUE care about mobile games when I clearly stated several times I don't play the, talk about them, or care about them. I couldn't even deal with ELDER SCROLLS Blades because of all the repetitive game play. Chibi anime girls aren't going to get me to play a game in a genre I care nothing about. Seriously I have no care for whatever gold ship is. Now that you told me what Unanusume is, I am glad that the time I discovered it was in a time when I am responding to forums when I'm not productive anyway. Because now that I know about it, I can use it as an example of games I ignore. I no longer need to use a genre I can refer to it by name. Thank you for that. This game would not vaguely entertain me.
