@Weiss @Rage_Grenade @lillytea yeah seems like the straw that broke the camel's back

@Weiss @Rage_Grenade @lillytea that is part of the story but there's some other stuff too including costs, legal climate, and the community itself

@coded_artist @flux_the_cat I was joking but it makes it even more funny that I was right lol

@flux_the_cat biggu boroda

@mitchconner who tf are the dems gonna run, legitimately? Kamala again?

@smugumin @SuperSnekFriend I love wind waker so much but I'll admit the Wii U version fixed a lot of the dumb shit with traveling in it. The triforce quest in the original is brutal and I can't play the game without the swift sail now.

@Ronnie21093 @rlier23 @Kyonko802 we're going back to the multi-part zip files haha

@BrokenSword @smugumin @SuperSnekFriend it's so fucking good

@madcuzbad @BrokenSword @smugumin @SuperSnekFriend that's the sex update that will come in 2042

The Build-a-Bear slogan should be "fluff around and find out"

@SuperSnekFriend @smugumin botw/totk get hate not purely because they are open world. it's just that the stuff that is in the open world sometimes isn't as good as what is in the linear games. the story in totk in particular sucks major ass and the dungeons are so openly designed that they feel cheap. in botw, a lot of people had criticisms over the dungeons all having the same exact motif and the shrines all being the same motif with just a single (usually very easy) puzzle inside.

although i really liked botw and i mostly enjoyed playing totk despite how much i shit on it, they do kind of feel like the quantity was the focus instead of the quality. all the other mainline games are way better and more memorable in terms of great dungeon design and story.

in general though, yeah, people are really burned out on open world games because they typically do focus on quantity over quality, or at worse even the PERCEPTION of quantity. i'd probably put something like MP4 in that camp. honestly i put shadow of the colossus in that camp too lmao but some people aren't ready for that conversation. that game kind of fuckin blows.

i'd much rather have a linear game with an extremely tight story that lasts like 8 hours than open world slop with way too much grinding and a story that can't feel narratively cohesive because you can approach it from so many different angles. it has to have some really fun gameplay loops to make it worthwhile, which i think botw/totk do have for at least dozens of hours, personally.

games like cyberpunk, witcher 3, and sleeping dogs are like perfect middle grounds imo.

@Yako @Meemoo i don't think the goal was to attract pedophiles necessarily, but to be an open "free speech" kind of platform and that naturally attracted pedos who couldn't talk about that kind of stuff anywhere else. it's the classic situation of letting yourself be taken over by people who do not give a single fuck about you, just because you want to uphold an ideal. happens all the time.

that's a good faith interpretation though, of course. regardless, i'm not sad about it getting shut down.

if you want a really good alternative, roriwalrus seems like it is the best spot. they've learned from ATF's mistakes.

@ninja8tyu @cunny it's ATF as a whole, from what i understand. there may be some talks to have ownership of certain parts transferred to other people. i know some people were thinking that iratu, the owner of pomf.tv, might do a decent job hosting the booru since they were a mod (admin) for it in the past? but that's just copium i think

even then, there would still be a lot of cleaning up to do.

i would download whatever you don't want to lose, though, absolutely.

@Rage_Grenade @Weiss @lillytea i don't think many people will be pretty soon here
