Star Ocean: Second Story is my fav game of all time,
so i've got mixed feelings on this;

new art looks great; new combat additions seem interesting;

I hate the the new angles for the maps & everything looks washed out with the light effects & smoothening
but as you can tell the style is basically digital fmv backgrounds with ps1 era sprite models;

Close angles almost always only show up in cutscenes & there is lighting effects but they don't cover up the models

This new version looks messier to me ImageImageImageImage
Honestly, this new version of Star Ocean Second Story looks kinda tacky & hideous in comparison #starocean ImageImage
From what I can tell the devs took the character models from the original, redid the backgrounds & maps added the models & then smothered on lighting effects & shadows

so messy; rather the models weren't covered up & if they are doing a hd hi-res style, just redo the models ImageImage
For Star Ocean 2 remake at least the devs did get the anime profiles correct though;

these look fantastic ImageImage

This takedown is exactly like @dickmasterson
No explanation or citation, just a takedown
I'm seeing more & more of this lately;
I have some theories; but I'm saving those for the article
What's crazy is @MischiefsYT & @dickmasterson & others is that the channels initially got attacked by people mass reporting or being falsely flagged for problems that weren't there

It then gets appealed; & somehow by applying for an appeal that is YouTube's way to confirm the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Apologies @nberlat & anyone else that feels like I am not sufficiently aware of how what I post isn't w/ concerns about the discussion on the larger issue

I'm honestly terrible at that aspect of communications; being blunt has been something I've always struggled with
Blame the ADHD or the long bouts of social isolation;

but I do struggle sometimes with keeping in mind the feelings of people outside a conversation or the push & pull regarding whatever issue is at hand

This is why I always say: Pls Feel Free To Disagree!
it's also why I try to have more patience with others when it comes to unsubtle communications;

Send clear signals isn't easy for everyone; & it's real easy to misinterpret something

social Categories are an interesting topic;
Disability & LGBT especially; race to some degree;

Where society gives benefits or allows for certain expectations to meet deficits

And why people who aren't those things taking advantage of it can actively harm real people
It matters because determining social programs like disability welfare is very much dependent on how society deems what is a disability;

but we can barely talk to each other; so we never make any progress on these topics; just constantly attacking & calling one another out
I wonder seriously; how much of the tension between the trans issue is coming from the feeling that having an opinion is bad;

Would there be nearly as much vitriol in this debate if people didn't feel attacked for trying to talk or understand this hard topic?

that's always been the problem after adding categories after gay & lesbian; the more letters got tacked on the more straight people got to play pretend with what should have been a uniquely meaningful designation
Queer means everything & nothing;

U can ask a convention full of gays & you will get 1000 different answers or more

So loads of younger people just glomp on; use pronouns to put up a rainbow so they can get super rainbow points without actually having to do or prove anything
Patton Oswalt has the best take;
From his Netflix Special Clapping While Talking;

the newest generation of the rainbow coalition has no idea how hard it used to be & what it took to get here

Why attacking RuPaul for not using pronouns is so ridiculous

pretty good summary of my feelings & concerns about the way the culture war is going; both sides have played a part in our current predicament;

But conservatives don't control news, politics, wall street or education; it's up to the side that does to wake up
i'm not saying people on the right don't need some lessons on polite manners too; there's definitely overreach from the Right;

but i'm at least allowed to share these thoughts on the right; if i talk to the left w/ my concerns i mostly get labeled a heretic; hence the problem
there are still progressives working in conservative media; there are almost no conservatives left working in mainstream media;

that means something, quite a lot actually

excellent analysis;

this is exactly right; I'm libertarian but it's impossible if you live outside California or NY & not notice what truly bad PR the Progs are playing

& how little care they have for others & their communities when they go overboard
the Left has made the proper retort to any criticism of their social policies or ideas: you are a very bad person;

Doesn't matter if it's drag queen story hour, men in women's prison's or just a pride flag at a McDonalds

the response is all the same
I agree w/ the progs on a lot;
but U cannot treat people that way

Online U can pretend disagreement is a sin;
but real life is messy; that will not work in most of the country; both blue & red

but U try to warn progressives & they look at you like a purple space alien
