Like man it ain't the porn making you feel miserable. It's your employer and media consumption, and your passive attitude towards both. You're just turning to the porn for help that it's not going to deliver.

And you're too stubborn to be introspective about.
You can solve that AND jerk off lol

I get really depressed when I see like sigma grind men talk about porn addiction like it's ruining their life (similar to how they talk about women etc..).

Don't blame the coping mechanism on your poor choice of it.
Porn just isn't addictive, it's limited appeal self regulates.

I've been working on #player controls while peeking. Holding A/D while in cover will let you #Peek and releasing will return to #Cover. RMB toggles FPS mode while in cover. I'm still working on #Camera #animations and #transitions. #Unreal #UE5 #GameDev #IndieDev #Development #Art #BlueSky #Arcade

This is the only part of this argument that is needed, and I completely agree with this.

Pokemon is the single biggest IP in the world.

However, most of that is actually stuff The Pokemon Company sells (merch, show, TCG, etc...). The games still sell very very well though.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

A decent chunk like the game itself.

Even Brawl sold more units than god (cut Mewtwo, Roy, and Pichu).

I think most players just bing bing wahoo, and don't care that much.

Streamers react andy to smash reveals and cum their pants when Cloud appears. But Smash is a staple game regardless.

Ironically Pat chooses the elder opinion with Pokemon (include every pokemon because of the early 2000s slogan).

And chooses the new-school opinion for Smash (smash should model itself after Brawlhalla).

new-school pokemon is a craving for new mechanics.
Old-school smash is its a refined fighter.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

was that used for the games? I thought that was just the anime and merchandise (Pokemon Company domain).

Also important, this slogan is old enough that the majority of people actually playing the Pokemon games, probably weren't alive when it was used

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

I've been a fan of Smash since Melee as a kid, I loved Brawl and played it for countless hours growing up.

I'm of the opinion the newer games play awful and they really need to divide the roster by 5 to make the game worth playing.

Otherwise why not play mugen or Roblox & get even more characters

They should make a game based on or at least similar to Pokemon Concierge, a series that is nice, lovely, filled with personal conflict, and most importantly stars Psyduck.

Is that the streamer that killed himself by jumping off a bridge

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

I want to counter this with the merits of overcoming small obstacles to enjoy the meal.

But I dont want to fall in the trap of saying you're morally obligated to buy product because you didnt give me a good enough reason not to.

Not buying a product should always be the default state.

I say "mistake" but what I really mean is... intentional choice followed by instant nuclear enlightenment

I feel bad every time this gets brought up because it was such a vulnerable sincere mistake. But it was also an incredibly beautiful and poingnant moment that is hard to put into words how good it was.

It was a net positive on the world though.

Pat the Br*tish accent is like Santa Claus for them over in the UK. Don't spoil the magic.
The kids find out its all put on when they reach adolescence.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

to maybe further that narrative path:

Why does GameFreak struggle to make their non-Pokemon games? They make like one every 5 years and they were usually indie titles.

Cause they have no money of their own, I think.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

I dont particularly care about whether they stick to the entire Pokedex. I think its ultimately overblown how valuable that is to players.

But Pokemon's appeal is the character designs and ripping them out of people's hands will and should backfire.

Also on top: the games should be better quality

I'm still of the opinion that the three-way ownership of Pokemon and some sort of deal between The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, and GameFreak, is causing GF to be intentionally starved of money.

Nintendo would rather invest in IP they own more fully.
And TPC would rather the non GF products succeed.

I also cant play Street Fighter 6
Nor any Riot games (not that I want to).
Or weirdly specifically Forza Motorsport (most Xbox games work, like Halo and Gears).

But I play a lot of Indie and AA games anyway. They almost entirely work.

As a fellow Linux user I feel obligated to temper people's expectations. I have issues with games several times a year, be it Marvel Rivals first few months, or Space Marine 2 still unplayable.
Not to mention every Battlefield and CoD game being unplayable.

I dont regret it, but others should know

I sold my Xbox Series S to a family member. I mostly used it for back compat with 360 games, and Forza Motorsport (doesnt work on Linux).

I also sold my Switch 1.

Im now all in on Linux PC gaming.
There is literally no reason for me to have anything else anymore.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

Its like Phil Spencer said "Call of Duty is the biggest game, just buy that and we're done" and completely gave up on development.

These stupid execs fail to understand cool and fun things are only cool and fun temporarily, you have to make something NEW.
Sony and Nintendo are also failing at this.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

Not to mention they were releasing stuff on PC, where I primarily play.

somehow they still fumbled that.

and as a Linux user I can't even use Gamepass on PC.

Sadnehs @sadnehs.bsky.social · 2d

couple years ago I was really on board with Xbox's direction. They have the best backwards compatibility, a netflix for games, and were buying studios. My hope was they were going to make MANY games of EXTREMELY HIGH VARIETY to get subscriptions.

Instead they made:
Nothing, and layed everyone off.
