2024.05.24 01:21 Justacrello Wrote 102 Page Screenplay in 6 days, and fasted for 5.
Hi, my name is Jamal. I've been writing short stories since I could write really, and when I was in middle school I'd right chapter books in my school notebook, and ask my dad to read them. I've also done theater for 8 years, which meant I had to write a lot of scripts, even being one of the writers for my school play. I also have about 300 skits on my YouTube channel. I'm saying that all to say, that all of that experience has led me to write my first feature screenplay called Semblance. Here's the logline: Annie Laurier has endured hardship her whole life, but when she meets the charming billionaire Kian Robinson, she believes her dreams of security and love have finally come true. However, after exchanging vows in a lavish wedding befitting Kian's status, cracks soon appear in Annie's gilded cage. With help from her childhood friends, long-buried demons from Kian's past arise to threaten Annie's freedom - and her life. I titled it Semblance for 3 reasons: 1. The entire screenplay is a Semblance. For the first half of the story, you can't really guess how the story is going to pan out, but then the story completely flips your expectations but still retains the other genres it is without losing substance. It's a Psychological ThrilleDrama/Romance-Comedy/Coming-of-Age story all packed into one. 2. The screenplay focuses on Kian's semblance of charm and the facade he wears during the story. 3. Nearly everybody in the story (Annie, her 3 best friends, and Kian) are all dealing with their own situations that they've created semblances for, and they have to overcome them by the end of the story to save their own lives. The story focuses on the friend group as a whole, not solely on just one person specifically but certain characters are alone in certain scenes. Annie starts realizing that her perfect marriage may not be so perfect, the charming guy may not be as charming as she thought, and while this is happening, the guys are trying to figure out how to save their friend from who they believe is a guy who’s up to no good. The story touches on domestic abuse whether it be physical, psychological, or emotional and how it can impact the decisions of the victim later on. It’s also a story about breaking the cycle somebody’s past actions can leave us trapped in. I've copyrighted my work after finishing it up, and I have my friend who's an actor reading it! He likes it and wants to show some directors he knows. If you have any questions about the story ask away, or you're interested in reading the screenplay please let me know! Here's the first 10 pages

2024.05.24 01:12 TheIncomprehensible Aru're's Character Diversity Primer Part 1: Introduction and Character Feel
Almost two years ago, I made this post where I talked about what I felt were the main reasons why I felt Brawlhalla was dying. For context, that post was made at a time when some pro players were announcing their retirement from Brawlhalla competition, hype for the recently-released Multiversus (at least into open beta) was at its peak, and there was a non-zero number of people doomposting about the game in general on this subreddit.
The thesis of that post was that Brawlhalla was dying because of a lack of character diversity, citing how other games stay fresh for hundreds of hours without needing major changes to characters or gameplay. Furthermore, I cited why character diversity is important and how it would fix Brawlhalla's main gameplay issues. However, I purposely didn't recommend any particular changes in that post because I had enough suggestions to make their own posts, and I didn't make any posts sharing any particular suggestions because I wasn't actually playing enough Brawlhalla at the time to recommend specific suggestions.
This will be the first of 3 posts about how Brawlhalla could change its roster to add some much-needed diversity to the game, with this one being focused around how a character feels.
Character feel can come from gameplay, but just as often comes from the character's artistic components. Giving each character a unique feel would require changing a mix of the following aspects:
Idle Animations
Idle animations aren't any easier to make than any other animations, but there's something funny about Brawlhalla characters: many of them already have idle animations. Most characters have character select animations that could easily be adapted into an idle animation for when they're either unarmed or when they have at least one of their two weapons. Some characters (most notably Jhala) could even reuse the idle animation for one of their weapons and use it on their other weapon with no further changes.
Furthermore, some characters can use parts of certain taunts as an idle pose. The only good example I can think of with this is Scarlet using certain portions of the Shadowboxing taunt to reflect her status as a champion boxer. She already has a usable idle pose, but if she's fighting you'd think she would use her training in her martial art to give her an edge in the Tournament.
Animation Colors on Light Attacks
Most legends have colors associated with their sigs, like the lightish blue that represents Yumiko's sigs, the purple that represents Queen Nai's sigs, and each of the different shades of bright green/blue on several of the game's futuristic legends. This idea is to put those colors onto each legends' light attacks so they better match their source material. This would, of course, work better on some characters than others. For example, Cassidy, Lucien, Thatch, and Barraza all have older guns that justify the current colors, but other characters don't have particle colors that match. We could get bright green particles on Vraxx, a different bright green particles on Ada, silver effects on Diana, red effects on Cross, and purple effects on Nix.
How easy this is depends on the tools that BMG has made to implement character colors into the game. I don't know for certain how BMG handles its character colors, but I imagine that they have a development tool similar to Rivals of Aether's custom color creator. How that works in RoA is that Aether Studios mapped different parts of each character to a different color, and the player can then just adjust that color to change that instance on the character's sprites. BMG probably has something similar, where they have a map for each character and skin, a color palette for each character color, and some code that maps each color to parts of each skin. If BMG does have something like that for character colors (which is likely because it saves so much time and money compared to doing it by hand) then it would be relatively easy to handle coloring light attacks in a similar way by borrowing the colors of the sigs for the light attacks. Just put in a few color variables (at least one for each weapon because there are characters like Thatch and Cassidy that use different colors to represent the sigs of their two weapons), change each function that performs a light attack to take a color variable, and write some code that colors the motion blurs and/or particle effects based on the color provided by the character.
Lance
Lance is likely a pain to animate and come up with designs for. My evidence is the fact that lance has fewer legends total despite being a launch weapon than some weapons released after like scythe, gauntlets, and bow. As a result, I legitimately don't think there's any way to add unique animations to existing lance users without making the weapon less readable overall. As a result, I believe we can skip the lance legends when they are wielding lance.
Unarmed Animations
Unarmed animations are unique compared to the other things I've listed in this section because there's very little to repurpose into this type of animation. At best, BMG could borrow animations from gauntlets, boots, and isolated animation from other weapons that would fit an unarmed kit like spear dlight, hammer nlight (first two hits only) and dlight, and blaster recovery (all but the final hit) to create something new for the unarmed kit of individual characters.
However, I put this here because adding diversity to the unarmed kit would have immense value for a few reasons:
What are some places you think Brawlhalla could improve in character diversity through new animations? Do you have any suggestions for an animation you want to see in-game for a particular character?

This will be the first of 3 posts about how Brawlhalla could change its roster to add some much-needed diversity to the game, with this one being focused around how a character feels.
Why Diveristy is Important: A Review
First, it's important to explain why character diversity is important. I won't go into detail into these points because I covered them in my previous post, but it's important to review them here so we're all on the same page:- Character diversity provides a greater diversity in matchups. A greater diversity in matchups means that players have more that they get to learn over a period of time. This provides an intrinsic motivation for players to keep playing the game (as opposed to extrinsic motivation like in-game currency and character titles) and helps keep the game fresh over long periods of time as players make new discoveries that shift the balance of a matchup.
- Character diversity leads to player attachment. Player attachment is the idea of players growing attached to the character(s) they play and playing a game to play with that character. I used Macalon in Flash Party in my previous post, but I can't use him now because Flash Party got ruined by bad monetization, but I can use Rivals of Aether as an example. I play Kragg in Rivals of Aether and love him to death due to tools like rock and forward air, as well as just his stoic personality to the point where I will likely get Rivals 2 just to play Kragg in another game.
Character Feel
If you pick up a spear with Ada, should it feel like you're playing spear? Similarly, if you pick up a spear with Mirage, should it feel like you're also playing that same spear? If you read my last post, you would know that the answer to that question is no, that there should be differences between their respective spears that you feel like you're playing Ada's spear and Mirage's spear, respectively. Most of these issues come down to gameplay, where two legends with similar stats and the same weapon will either play almost identically or get labeled as a sig spammer with no in-between, but this post will instead focus on issues with character feel independent of gameplay.Character feel can come from gameplay, but just as often comes from the character's artistic components. Giving each character a unique feel would require changing a mix of the following aspects:
- animations
- particle colors and effects
- sound effects and voice-overs
The Low-Hanging Fruit: High-Value Wins from Relatively Easy Changes
Art takes time and money, and prioritizing changes that don't take a whole lot of effort should be prioritized over those that do take a whole lot of effort. Here are some changes I think would be relatively easy to make relative to the value they have on the game:Idle Animations
Idle animations aren't any easier to make than any other animations, but there's something funny about Brawlhalla characters: many of them already have idle animations. Most characters have character select animations that could easily be adapted into an idle animation for when they're either unarmed or when they have at least one of their two weapons. Some characters (most notably Jhala) could even reuse the idle animation for one of their weapons and use it on their other weapon with no further changes.

Unarmed animations are unique compared to the other things I've listed in this section because there's very little to repurpose into this type of animation. At best, BMG could borrow animations from gauntlets, boots, and isolated animation from other weapons that would fit an unarmed kit like spear dlight, hammer nlight (first two hits only) and dlight, and blaster recovery (all but the final hit) to create something new for the unarmed kit of individual characters.
However, I put this here because adding diversity to the unarmed kit would have immense value for a few reasons:
- every character has an unarmed kit, making it a boring but essential part of the game. In addition to the high value, this also means that some legends could reuse the animations intended for other legends in their own unarmed kit
- characters have a broad range of fighting styles that the unarmed kit poorly represents, which is best represented by the differences between Gnash and Lin Fei. Gnash is a primitive man that made his legend at a time long before the concept of martial arts existed, while Lin Fei is a master martial artist who made her legend around learning and teaching martial arts to others, and you can't tell that difference in fighting technique from their unarmed animations. Furthermore, Scarlet is a boxer (a martial art known for its punches) and Vivi is a capoeirista (a martial art known for its kicks), but you can't distinguish those fighting styles from the fighting styles of other legends.
The Potential for Diversity with New Animations
I want to finish this post with some examples of what I think would be really cool to see, as well as generate hype for the possibilities for updating a lot of characters' animations. Keep in mind that all examples given are purely cosmetic, and don't affect gameplay. My examples:- several legends are capable of flight, whether it's through wings (Reno, Onyx), technology (Orion, Seven), or magic (Nix, Azoth). These characters could use these in their jump, recovery, and certain other animations (like Orion's lance sair and dair or spear dlight), although it may be hard to make magic look special for some legends.
- Cassidy could use her lasso (from her hammer nsig) in her hammer recovery and dair animations. Similarly, Diana could use her "whip" (from her dsigs) as part of her bow recovery and slight (even though it's a hit instead of a grab I still feel like it could be used here)
- some weapons (ie axe, hammer, scythe) are normally wielded with one hand, but some legends are physically strong enough to justify two hands. In Ulgrimm's case, he could even justify dual-wielding axes (between his normal axe and the energy axe he uses in his axe sigs) for an interesting visual effect (with no other gameplay purpose)
- Jiro wields a kusarigama when he wields a scythe, and is represented by the scythe physically breaking apart for use in his sigs. It could instead remain broken for use in his light attacks, as with the exception of dlight and ground pound all of scythe's attacks don't have all that much range, and in the two exceptions he could use the chain of the scythe to extend his range to make them work. Loki can do something similar with the dual sickles he uses during his sigs, only replacing Jiro's chain for a portal for the dlight.
- Wu Shang's gauntlet punches would be better suited for striking with open palms, given his martial art and pacifist nature. Same thing with Mordex and his feral nature. Tezca could do something similar, but with nair (it's only grab) instead of its punches.
- Yumiko is in the unique position of being both blind and having large, non-human ears. It would make a lot of sense if her animations reflected how she "saw" the battlefield through ear movements through her animations.
- Sentinel was a football player, and I think some of his unarmed animations could be updated to reflect that, particularly his unarmed sheavy (which could be a sort of tackle)
Conclusion
Character diversity is very important in fighting games to help players grow attached to their characters, and updating the art and animations of characters is a great way to increase that attachment. I hope I've planted some seeds with what could be done to improve the feel and diversity of Brawlhalla's roster. Next time, I'll talk about ways to add diversity in gameplay using existing gameplay systems: stats and signatures.What are some places you think Brawlhalla could improve in character diversity through new animations? Do you have any suggestions for an animation you want to see in-game for a particular character?
2024.05.24 00:41 recentlyrigored Who is the Bad Roomate?
Sorry fornthe length of this post. I honestly could go on and on, but will just keep it to the main instances. TLDR at the end.
I am running into a situation with a couple of friends. I have little knowledge of celiac's, what I know is based upon what we briefly touched on in college and my own outside research. I normally pride myself on being Switzerland in these situations and not taking sides, but as time goes on I am starting to feel biased. I am seeking opinions on this matter.
Here's the situation:
One individual, Hayden, recently has had a massive stroke. He has a full-time caregiver, Bianca. The other individual, Dominick, has celiacs. (I am just a third party noticing and picking up dropped hints and tensions between all 3 parties involved. Looking for others input.)
Since Hayden's stoke, I've noticed the apartment has gone downhill very drastically in the last 8 months (during the hospital stay and since being released). Insurance, 2 months ago, approved for him to have a full time caregiver. Bianca is great. I'm not sure what her actual title is, but she mainly works with Hayden doing occupational and physical therapy in home. She goes above and beyond helping COOK AND CLEAN as Hayden cannot bend down and is wheelchair bound most of the time.
Dominick, the first time I met him, was at a resturant with the friend group. He sat next to me and immediately told me that if I were to order food, he needed to know because he is so severely allergic that is something we're to go airborne he would have to immediately go to the hospital. I didn't order food, but did get a Tito's and Sprite. He started hacking, causing a scene, then promptly left. Nice introduction dude. Aside from the strange first meeting and not understanding how some cases of celiacs can be that severe, he's a genuinely cool guy after I got to know him personally.
Bianca came into the apartment like a wild woman! She detailed and cleaned everything top to bottom. When I came by to visit i was astonished. I don't think that apartment looked that nice during the time of move in!
Here's the problem:
When Bianca cleaned the kitchen, she had no knowledge of Dominic having celiac's. She organized the pantry neat and tidy, no second thought about it without Hayden realizing. When it was, Bianca went to the store replaced everything out of her own pocket.
Dominic's dishes got cleaned and mixed up with Hayden's. He refuses to use them and wants to be compensated for them being cross contaminated. Didn't realize it at the time, but Dominick wasn't taking out the trash because of the risk of cross contamination as well.
Hayden paid out of pocket for the dishes and purchased a separate trashcan to minimize the risk.
Before this incident, the kitchen was halved (and still is). You get the top shelves of the cabinets and fridge, half of the sink for dishes. Now you have a separate trashcan too.
Bianca, who now believes she's the one who created this rift in the household, has taken a step back with the cooking and cleaning, and focuses solely on Hayden and helping him clean his messes. Since this has happened and Bianca has stopped tidying up the common areas, the apartment is filthy nasty again. Getting frustrated Bianca and I had a house clean up day and once again detailed everything.
Queue the paper towel expirament. After our being clean up day about a month ago, we noticed that Dominick refuses to share a dish rag, cross contamination. He has a comically large stock pile of paper towels that he's proud to show off for some reason. Non sequitor, but funny to me for some reason. I digress, but we noticed one paper towel on the counter top that was raunchy by his dish rack. (I personally purchased this dish rack to help with the cross contamination pot and pan issue) I could only describe this icky paper towel as wet looking pasta sauce gunk flopped onto it. Needless to say we left it there.
Bianca texts updates me regularly. She was off this weekend and texted me briefly about appointments on Friday and Monday. No mention about the state of the mess.
21 days.
TWENTY ONE DAYS IT SAT THERE. I visited over the past weekend and it was still there. I went back to my google timeline to figure out when I was there last and cleaned. I was furious and it's not even my home. To add more to it, there were boxes everywhere! I thought Dom was moving.. Hayden said no that's trash. I should have taken photos. The front door..To get inside I had to crush boxes with it to get the door open that's how filled their entry hallway was. Hayden has been exiting out of their patio door because he can't get out with his wheelchair. The wall where Dominick's trashcan sits is scattered with food and is piled up easily 12 inches above the rim. The sink... The kitchen sink was a sight to behold. It was absolutely foul, leaning tower of plates and bowls, curdled milk and cereal, a fine layer of mold overing everything, spilling into Hayden's side of the sink..
Hayden is not the confrontational type and with the stroke/brain damage having a conversation about this is even more difficult. So, I did. I confronted him, I hate that word because it sounds so aggressive. By all means, I was fuming but I never came across as rude or crass, just concerned about fire safety with the boxes and a possible mold exposure to everyone. Hayden cites the "cross contamination" as his reason for not cleaning up after himself. That "Hayden hasn't said anything about the boxes." That "it will get done once it gets bad."
jaw drop
I found out a while back that Tito's and Sprite are both gluten free. He refuses to use the same dishrag, but will use the same sponge for dishes. His toaster oven recently broke and he has been using Hayden's.
Is he taking this "cross contamination" thing too far? Is he abusing his celiacs in order to not do basic household chores? Or abusing us for helping Hayden cook and clean?
Dominick always been sorta messy, but since Hayden had his stroke it's been horrific. In my personal opinion, (before the stroke) Hayden was not a good roomate for different reasons; being loud, excessive drinking and drugging, people coming over all the time, stuff along those lines. So I'm not sure if that is playing a factor into this as well.
TLDR: I have a feeling a person is abusing their celiacs and quoting cross contamination as the reason for being so uncleanly. I am unsure though because I do not know much about the disease or it's severity.

Alec answering question from North-Blueberry-7710 about testing in Mirrorwatch
No secret testing of anything upcoming in the immediate! We do look at how some changes play out though when they become more real and get lots of games, I think the Bastion Ultimate in particular was quite fun even if very loud and on the border technically. Reinhardt's Frenzy passive was also something we played around with internally but it was quite hard to communicate effectively. It's always good to see what players get excited about when there are more wacky ideas such as Mirrorwatch or April Fool's, some of those could become real down the line.Alec answering question from swamp_god about Cassidy and Reaper changes
The two upcoming updates that were mentioned were for Cassidy and Reaper.Jnoh answering question from Headedbigfoot8 about the hardest hero to balance in each role
For Cassidy, we started some exploration pre-Season 9 for his update. Due to where he was at that time, this update was originally looking at multiple pieces of his kit but we saw the Season 9 changes largely benefit him so the update has gotten more focused on Magnetic Grenade and other Quality of Life updates (specifically to his Ultimate). In Season 11 we are updating Magnetic Grenade. It will behave closer to old Flashbang (no magnetic homing to the target, used in the short range) and will slow/hinder the target. We think that plays a lot better with his kit and removes some of the larger frustrations around Magnetic Grenade. More specifics on all that soon.
For Reaper, we went fairly wide as well in the beginning and then started to focus closely on updating Shadow Step. At the moment, we have something we quite like but it's actually a large technical challenge and we are in the process of planning out the work/seeing what's possible. In the meantime, we may buff Reaper in some non-Tank Buster ways as he lost a lot in the most recent update.
Probably Sombra due to permanent invisibility restricting how deadly we can make her but also because she is a hero that excels with strong team coordination.Hudson answering question from walter_2010 about average playtester rank
There are a handful of other heroes with performance stats that differ greatly from the broader community perception of them and that can create difficulty in how we approach balancing them as well.
A huge part of our team culture revolves around playtesting. From Designers, to QA and community management, everyone has the opportunity to play what we're working on and give open honest feedback. One of the advantages of this model is we get perspective from a wide range of player ranks from GM 1 to Bronze 5. It's been a while since we've taken an official poll on average rank, but having a wide sample helps prevent tunnel visioning on feedback from specific ranks.Alec answering question from O2M about lack of patch consistency and Symmetra
Alec/Gavin answering question from Thee_Archivist about the removed smurf detection from MMR going from QP to comp
- We should do a better job about this, especially when it comes to getting the community's visibility on what we are seeing vs. what the playerbase may seem to think is the best hero at any given one time. These can differ regularly as certain heroes get power reputations (weaker or stronger than their reality at a given rank) that are hard to shake off. Thanks for the feedback there, will make sure we have something here even if it's a simple change.
- Symmetra kept some of the buffs in that patch but yes we hear the feedback of where her current power level is. We may have been a bit overreactive to the Mauga compositions popping up during that timeframe (he was certainly overtuned), but we wanted to be sure of it. For right now, we are in discussions about Symmetra and especially her frontline presence. Believe that's a piece of the kit we'd like to promote further, whether through her survivability or beam damage.
I tapped in our own Gavin Winter for this first part, he's what he had to say: "There haven't been any changes to these systems, but there are edge cases like the example of Guxue that was recently posted in this subreddit where our systems don't perform in the way we'd like. Most players will still be placed appropriately as they transition from Quick Play to Competitive Play, but unfortunately cases like this have always been possible. Explaining exactly how this happens would make it easier reproduce, so you'll have to excuse me from not going into intricate detail here."Jnoh answering question from Owlcharts about making win and pick rates public (this one hurts).
For the second part of your question, we believe we made it slightly too difficult to climb at the highest ranks and are looking at making some adjustments soon.
There aren't any plans currently to shift resources toward supporting something like that. Sites like Overbuff don't have the complete picture, but the data there for win rates and such is generally fairly close.Alec answering question from AccurateMeminnn about the reworks to Roadhog and WB
There is some argument against being too transparent with those stats in that it can create a bit of a feedback loop where you might see player behavior driven by what appears to be the meta in the stats, but that kind of happens already with just the general discussion and sentiment around heroes without stats as well.
Our target range for hero viability by win rate is between 45-55% unmirrored win rate at Masters rank and above. Those individual win rates often can fluctuate 2-3% by day, mostly because heroes tend to have a wider range of win rates per map and we're looking at the global average of those, but also individual player performance isn't consistent.
Lower pick rate heroes fluctuate more and there is less confidence in their win rate being indicative of actual strength. Extremely high pick rate heroes have a similar problem when looking unmirrored stats.
In the end stats require interpretation to understand their context and that is why they are not the only basis for balance changes, but are a useful tool to measure impact of changes patch-over-patch.
For the most part, we are relatively happy with the new bases both have been given but there is still some fine-tuning to be done.Jnoh answering question from Arrge about Hanzo post season 9, specifically about the one shot
I'll start with Wrecking Ball. Our goals were to give him more flexibility with his movement/engage options, heighten the benefits he gives to his team, and give him some quality of life updates. I think our changes all attempt to address those goals but one I think we can hit harder in the future is heightening the benefits he gives to his team. We were a little conservative with the Adaptive Shields change (overhealth is hyper scary in coordinated environments), so perhaps there's room for that to be more pronounced through tuning and actual feedback received in game (working on some updates there). Overall though, Wrecking Ball is doing much better after his recent updates and we believe we have a great base to work with going forward.
For Roadhog, aside from the conversations about his current survivability (we plan to hit that soon) there are some things for us to look at concerning the frequency of his combo. For example, his Pig Pen begins to go on cooldown when you throw it. So you can pre-place one, it gets destroyed, and then Roadhog already has it ready again (even though the enemy may think there's a window where Hook is less deadly). That's one discussion we've recently had. Still some work here for us to do in terms of the value Pig Pen brings outside of the combo as well and how we can make those windows of combo potential less frequent.
Hanzo is still an effective mid-range burst damage hero even without the one-shot kills. Post season 9 with the projectile size changes actually saw an increase in Hanzo's performance on the stat side. I do hear you on the loss of how good the one shot kills felt, but an overarching goal of season 9 was to reduce a lot of those burst damage frustrations for players on the receiving end of it. Armor changes in season 10 have also been a benefit to his damage.Alec answering question rom idrkbrotbh about Hog's survivability.
Still very early but we've been experimenting with adjusting health pools for some of the more evasive or high damage heroes which would also put them back into the range of lethal Hanzo headshots and some other hero combos at 225 HP, but while it would bring some interesting texture to hero interactions overall there are also a bunch of other problems to solve if we want to go through with it.
Yes, we plan on nerfing his survivability very soon. We are touching Take a Breather and Whole Hog in an upcoming patch. Hoping that can go live tomorrow.Alec answering question from Heropon4Hyrule_010 about the difference in pick rates from before the midseason patch (major tank buffs) and after
Some of this is related to meta happenings or balance changes but also related to armor changes/headshot reduction for Tanks. From what we can see the biggest winners (in terms of their performance delta) of the patch are: Ana, Junkrat, Pharah, Roadhog, Sigma, Wrecking Ball, and Zarya.Alec answering questions uestion from Mefionir-Omnic about Quick Play Hacked changes and Clash mode
Many heroes stayed relatively similar while a handful saw a decrease in performance (Bastion, D.Va, Mauga, Orisa, and Reaper).
These fall outside of hero design but can talk briefly about the first two questionsAlec answering question from Mabangyan about Roadhog and Lifeweaver
- Think you are referencing the speed boosts that would potentially come to Flashpoint. Took us some time to get these in a good place but they have been promising in playtests and are on track for a later season. It's important to us that when we add elements like that to a mode that it not only brings quality gameplay but is also communicated well through Sound and VFX. Feel good here now.
- We got a lot of great feedback but there are some things the team wished we did better with the Clash Preview. Firstly, it should have showed up more in Quick Play so y'all got more reps on it and can get a better feel for the flow of the game mode. Secondly, we don't think it was best suited for Open Queue in Arcade. If we do something like this again, we'll clean that up. With the feedback we received, we've been investigating how to make the final point more appealing to capture for the attacking team. Many games could result in the attacking team not actually wanting to push onto the last point because it wasn't worth the reward (harder to capture, give up a lot of positioning if you lose). Plenty of iteration happening here now to address that particular issue.
Answered the Roadhog question in a different place, but yes changes coming soon.JNoh answering question from Scared_Funny_1865 about tank counterswapping
For Lifeweaver, one of the discussions we are having right now (actually this week) and have been having for a while is around the friction that comes with switching between his healing and damage. Giving him more flexibility here would be a great boon to his capability within team fights. Additionally, we've experimented a lot with his Petal Platform. Personally would love for that to be a more attractive area to stand on as a teammate (whether that be through a buff the platform gives you or something else) but there's a lot of learned behavior to work through as allies hop off the platform quite often.
At its core, Overwatch is a game designed around being able to swap heroes to gain a tactical advantage or help solve a challenge you might be encountering. This contributes to keeping the moment-to-moment gameplay experience dynamic, drives hero diversity and offers a wider range of both strategic gameplay and skill expression in learning when/where/how to play multiple heroes.Alec answerinf question from Skiesti about Mercy's lack of changes since the 20% DPaSsive revert, as well as general performance since season 9 (this answer is super tone deaf being real).
There is a question of how much of an advantage is too much compared to the cost of switching. Ideally we want counters to be clear and understandable, but soft enough that it's still possible to outplay a disadvantaged matchup. It is a team game though and 1v1 matchups are not the highest priority when assessing the heroes.
Tanks do feel this the most with only one of them per team in 5v5 role queue, but all roles do experience the pressure to counter and be countered to an extent.
We're striving to find a balance between swapping heroes every death, (which certainly feels too often), and rarely swapping heroes or getting trapped in mirror matches every game, which quickly leads to fatigue. We've seen a lot of improvements here compared to earlier seasons, but it could always be better.
"Unhealthy" and unpopular designs are not necessarily the same thing. When designing heroes, we aim to provide a wide range of playstyles, mechanics, and aesthetics for players to enjoy. It's okay if they don't all resonate with everyone broadly. We'll do our best to make the game as fun as it can be for a wide audience.
- I think we are more happy in the 20% DPS Passive world than the 15% (it cuts through a lot better, helps mitigate the healing more effectively) so Mercy is more worth a look when that world is permanent. There are some questions of how far we can push her movement and know that is one of the most requested changes.
- Mercy is still a top-picked 3/4 Support and even higher on console until you hit GM/Top 500. Her performance follows a similar trend, where she's in the top grouping for most ranks and remains above average at the highest ranks. Doesn't mean that she wont receive changes but that is where she is at currently.
2024.05.23 21:56 guiltyofnothing “Me when I go to le dentist and le dental hygienist has LE EPIC BOOBIES!!!! Damn bitch grow up” Are people unnecessarily sexualizing women? A meme about female dental hygienists’ boobs roils /r/AdviceAnimals
The Context:
OOP posts a meme about female dental hygienists putting their boobs on patients’ heads to /AdviceAnimals. The meme in full reads: “When you get a dental hygienist that doesn’t rip up your gums and rests her boobs on your head” with a smiling seal.The meme sparks debate about wether or not it is needlessly sexualizing women who are just trying to do their job, if it was a thought that needed to be shared at all, and if everyone is just overreacting.
The Drama:
Someone objects:I hope no female dental hygienist comes on this thread only to learn that they’re being sexualized while working on TEETH. Christ on the cross y’all.Others demand people grow up:
Damn some of you are so sensitive. When you're older you'll understand
Oh no, a woman might learn she's intrinsically attractive and desirable! How will she ever recover?!
Do you think they don't realize what people are going to do when they push their boobs into other people's heads?
Idek what it means when people say somebody is “sexualizing women,” so he’s just being a dude?
I think this is a pretty common thought for 13yr old boys still going through puberty. What I'm really trying to say is grow the fuck up. I remember having an attractive dentist when I was much younger and having this happen to me, and it did "excite" me at that moment. But now that I'm older when this happens I literally try to make more room for them if possible, because I'm positive that they notice sometimes but can't do anything about it because boobs get in the way sometimes. I've heard my girlfriend curse her own boobs at several different times. Those thoughts just feel disrespectful now, even if not shared.Should some things be left unsaid?
Lol this is so funny. Men don't just stop enjoying boobs as they age. Also this is reddit. You're allowed to talk about liking boobs here. You don't just stop liking boobs when you turn 19 or however old you are lmfao
I still enjoy boobs... Not sure where you got the idea I don't. I just like being respectful more than blatantly enjoying something that the other person both hasn't consented to and most likely doesn't want to be doing.
Also I'm aware this is reddit and you're allowed to talk about liking boobs. But it's a discussion board and I'm allowed to call people out on their sexism or childish behaviors.
I'm 37 if that helps with you putting more words in my mouth.
So you think talking about boobs is childish. That's very strange.
If you can't figure out what I mean by now then I'm sorry for your struggles, it must be difficult.
This is a gross thought that should have stayed internal[Continued:]
Lmfao who hurt you
The cringe I felt from this post burst my kidney
it's cringe to call people cringe. second of all, it's actually kind of a self-report that you feel so uncomfortable about people talking about touching boobs. Like, you're the weird one for making it weird, know what I mean?
If you don't get how it's creepy, don't get married or have a daughter.
I'll chop my balls off before taking advice from reddit about having a family lol but hey, hopefully you had fun posting your comment even if I will ignore it.Do people need to touch grass?
Lots of this thread needs to go outside[Continued:]
i know, the amount of people who just casually sexualize their healthcare workers is fucking wild to me. i didn’t know it was this bad or this accepted, this comment section feels like a boomer group chat
Finding someone hot ≠ sexualizing
Get a grip on reality
it is sexualising when you fantasise about somebody's breasts while they are simply doing their job
I'm gonna say no. How I see the word, to sexualize is to reduce to only being a sexual object. No one I've seen here yet has thought of anyone in question as nothing but a sexual object. Plenty of people thinking sexually about someone else, of course. But they aren't ceasing thinking of them as people simultaneously.
It really creeps me out that so many people seem to think finding someone attractive is mutually exclusive with seeing them as a human. Makes me wonder what kind of horrors you commit in the bedroom
You’re not fantasizing about them, you’re doing the exact opposite. Notice how one of the top comments said he had to start thinking about helldivers loadouts?[…]
Having the initial reaction of “there’s boobs touching my head” then swatting it away is entirely normal especially when you consider the people in here are likely on the younger side.
Get. A. Grip.
Sexualising a person isn't an inherently bad thing obviously. This isn't a momentary thought before swatting it away though, this is a post on social media sexualising a stranger.
Consciously sexualising them long after the fact says something about the way that you view the people around you.
even the original post says “rests her boobs on your head”, i’m the one who needs to get a grip?
Yes you are.
Edit because he blocked me like a pussy:
Buddy’s most frequented sub is of 4chan posts no wonder he blocked me
ohhhhh asmon fan. gotcha
Bro you fucking blocked someone just to get the last word? God you're a weak little piece of shit. Grow tf up pussy

2024.05.23 21:14 xxxMorganTaylorxxx True Love: First Visit (follow-up to "Metropolitan Meet-Up")
Chapter 2 of True Love story (see posting of "Metropolitan Meet-Up" for Chapter 1).
First Visit
Chaz and Morena texted each other relentlessly the next day. They were both surprised and amused at how responsive the other was. Having slept on their experience, they still experienced the same glow. Chaz had a networking event at a sports bar that evening, and he had hoped Morena would join him on this “business” pursuant to their conversation the night before. She did attempt to arrange to join him, but was unable on such short notice. Still, neither could believe the joyful intensity of their conversation that was nearly continuous from the moment they parted. But there they were.
While networking at the sports bar, Chaz could not stop thinking about Morena. He felt empowered by her attention, and he asserted himself in multiple conversations among potential business associates. He wondered if Morena would have enjoyed herself if she had been able to come. Indeed, they most likely would have turned the networking event into an unofficial first date, with only personal business attended.
After the event, Chaz felt that the evening was early, and he found his way to a well-known drinking establishment in the inner harbor area of the city. Since he hadn’t been in town for a while, he thought it would be fun to listen to the band playing, and contemplate Morena. They had continued to text, and Chaz was wondering if this interaction would be fleeting, and if Morena – this veritably supernatural creature – was simply too good to be true.
Chaz decided to explore her taste in music. He scrolled through the playlists on his phone, and looked for favorite songs and artists that create partisan responses. He texted her, “Apple or Spotify?” to which she replied, “Spotify!” He selected a favorite, rather romantic song, with a swaying beat and pretty tones, and pressed “send.” Chaz thought that Morena might dislike the song, potentially putting a damper on their budding relationship. But in fact, the song was one of her favorites from one of her favorite bands as well. And since this was unusual and unexpected, Chaz thought for sure this was fate. They arranged to meet the next day, where Morena would travel to his house after work, and they could talk “business” from the night’s networking. Chaz had needed to attend another event that Friday, so they both knew that their time together would be limited.
Morena was eager to see Chaz. Their continuous texting, and their shared musical tastes, excited her and awakened feelings in her that were long since dormant. Better yet, she couldn’t stop laughing. They were having so much fun just texting that she wondered what a relationship with him might look like. She was constantly distracted through her workday with thoughts of Chaz, and what might transpire once she arrived at his house.
Chaz was also wondering what would transpire. He had concerns about Morena’s marital status, and did not want to cheat, deceive, or hurt anyone, notably, Morena’s live-in husband and professional work associate. Still, Chaz wanted her badly, and he was torn about how to proceed with this lovely woman, who clearly wanted to be with him, too.
When Morena arrived, she observed that Chaz was just as attractive, tall, and yummy as she remembered from the other night, and she detected a hint of cologne that wafted from him – clearly he had prepared for her. He invited her in, with the door opening to a living room that was clean and organized. She noticed that he was barefoot, so she kicked off her shoes accordingly. He offered her a place on the couch, and she padded across the thick carpet to join him.
Now, Morena was seated next to Chaz, on his couch, in his living room. And she looked delicious. They could barely speak. Chaz’s thoughts were racing, and, was it his imagination? They seemed to be drawing closer as he tried to maintain a semblance of platonic talk. He tried to resist. If only for a moment. And then they kissed, releasing the pent-up passion that had escalated for days.
Morena felt dizzy, with Chaz kissing her skillfully as he started to lean over her. She tilted her head back so that their mouths could open together. His mouth rubbed against hers, and she felt his tongue gently caress her lips. She wanted to take all of him in her mouth, so she met his tongue with hers and twirled them together. Chaz was tingling, overwhelmed as Morena aroused him with her expressive lips.
They paused for breaths, which were coming fast and heavy with the intensity of their first kiss. “Wow” – she said it first, but they both thought it. They were both electrified. He took her hand in his, and leaned in to kiss her again. They were more aggressive this time, hungrily moving their mouths together, faster and with greater determination. Chaz released her hand and began caressing her thigh, which was frustratingly sheathed in denim. He began kissing her neck, and Morena could feel him gently running his tongue underneath her ears and under her jawline.
Morena was aroused in ways she had not experienced in years. She wanted him so badly, and was shocked at this overpowering desire to give herself to this man because she’s “not that kind of girl.” But the fire she felt! The electricity! It only intensified as she permitted him to reach into her brassiere, and caressed her bare skin. Morena had not been touched like that in so long, and Chaz continued to kiss her while he squeezed gently.
Eventually Morena could not resist, and she removed her top to expose her breasts to him. Chaz leaned in and kissed her right nipple, which was pert with her arousal. He gently sucked the nipple into his mouth, moistening it. He began to lick around the sides and then to the tip of her nipple, switching from left to right – she noticed that Chaz liked to give equal attention. Morena had forgotten how sensitive her nipples were, and his attention was bringing a level of arousal between her legs that she had never before experienced. She felt that she could orgasm from his nipple stimulation alone.
Chaz was thoroughly aroused and asked Morena if she would like to join him upstairs. She noticed the time and reminded him of his evening obligation. She was also aware that it would be unheard of for her to have sex with this man after only meeting him two days prior. Chaz was more than happy to delay his departure…. However, they adjourned this afternoon’s encounter, and promised to meet again soon.
They continued to text, sharing funny stories about themselves. Chaz even went as far as to text the picture of him with Morena to his father, and said, “This is escalating quickly,” Morena had affected him so much. But she was married! Chaz texted her late that Saturday, feeling lonely, and she replied with her selfie, saying only, “You are never alone.” Chaz was already wondering if he had fallen in love with her.

2024.05.23 21:12 Superb_Cod_2496 What happend?
Hello guys and girls, i really need some opinions and advices on what the fuck happend.
So long story short, i met this girl on Bumble app. She is a stewardess and was staying in my city for roughly a month in total. We started texting there, i was funny and charming as usual so she gave me her whatsapp (number) and ig. We made plans to go for a date in like week and a half since we both were busy. I texted her on ig to reschedule the date and eventually we went on it. She was staying at a nice hotel 10 min away from me. I met her outside and when she came out i was like dam. Everything started going smoothly almost instantly, we clicked like i never clicked with somebody else before. Made jokes how something is gonna happen to her and she was like just let me have a gin and tonic first and i was like il let you have two of those because im a nice one. Later on we went to a second place to have drinks and i started to make extensive eye contact with her because i was all over the head with this girl (im not a type of guy that something like that happens to often in fact it never did to be honest even tho i see alot of girls and go out alot and usualy i hide myself pretty well like im mysterous and women told me they cannont read me no matter how hard they try and they really like that about me some even told me i have no emotions and im like a stone)
Back to the story, she was like dont look at me like that because you make me nervous and i was like look at you like what? (i knew exactly like what ha) I continued to do that and later while we went back to the hotel ( she wanted to walk) i grabbed her hand and we walked and made jokes all they way back while holding hands. When we came to the hotel she was like im sleepy and i was like then you should go. She wanted to sit outside before she went up so we did. We talked and talked and the story i going with was that we probbably not gonna see eachoter ever again and thats what i stuck with. She said if i wanted to see her i would and i was like i have no time and she said again if you wanted you would. We talked and ifor some reason i had abnormal urge to kiss her like ive known her for idk how much time, i never felt such a strong and weird feeling like that, i basiclly fully fell for her in matter of hours ( crazy i know) I told her listen i dont expect anything from you i just want to kiss you and leave. She was like you are sick since your nose is runny etc ( i i told her before that my voice is funny today) and kinda rejcted me because she has flights almost daily. Eventually we started making out and had an intense session next to the hotel and even on the hotel wall haha ( people that passed by really gave us the looks some even like dam even tho it was late) After 2 days i was like i have to see you again, idk why i just have to. We texted for few days , was going amazing she texted me i text her but she was busy a little. Then she invited me to come with her and her cabin crew friends for a night out so i did , told me i could join them basicly and i was like fuck it.( finally haha) We had one of the most amazing nights ever, i took them to a club, got the best seats because i know the bouncers ( no reservation, nothing).sime girls started talking to me there and she got a little jelous i mean she told me she doesnt like me doing that but later we made it uo by having sex in the club and she asked me there to come to her hotel room after, we made a pinky promise and left the club toilete haha.I paid everything ( cabs and all, not that it matters just saying and she even got mad at me because of that a little).After that she basiclly sneaked me in to the hotel we ran to the elevators and she forgot something at the reception so she got called back then later we laughed that the guy saw us. I did everything perfectly and then we had sex in hotel, talked, cuddled etc. I told her that im never this honest but i just wanted her to know that in few hours she made me feel so alive and that girls in my city couldnt do that even im few months. But i said i dont expect anything from her still but i just wanted to be honest for the first time. Then i left before she woke up because she fell alseep after 15 min after sex. I tought that was a manly thing to do even tho i wanted to stay so bad. I left her a note that said text me and some name i called her ( a song) and P.S you snore a little :). The note was on the napkin, placed on my side of the bed next to her. That same day at nighttime she texted me and i was like oh yes oh yes (i couldnt stop thinking about her because i felt so amazing and alive). We exhanged few text like before i joked about how if i survive the night ( i was out partying) im gonna see her again for the third time and the lucky charm. The she just dissapeard.Completly ghosted me. Didnt respond to my last few messages about that thirdt time, didnt even seen them on wa. (no read status) So after a day and a half i texted her again sending her a picture of a place she wanted to go while she was here (it was closed before, season just opened) and asked her you wanna go?. No response, no read so i tought maybe her wa is broken due to some number thing so i texted her on ig asking is it that or she just ghosted me and whatever it is i think i deserve to know. She seen that like 10h after ive sent it and then after another 10h she just blocked me everywhere and thats it. I dont understand what happend and why would she text me the same day responding to my note if it was just a one night stand for her or if she didnt want to see me or continue to talk with me (side note she had like a week, week and a half left in my city when that happend)

So long story short, i met this girl on Bumble app. She is a stewardess and was staying in my city for roughly a month in total. We started texting there, i was funny and charming as usual so she gave me her whatsapp (number) and ig. We made plans to go for a date in like week and a half since we both were busy. I texted her on ig to reschedule the date and eventually we went on it. She was staying at a nice hotel 10 min away from me. I met her outside and when she came out i was like dam. Everything started going smoothly almost instantly, we clicked like i never clicked with somebody else before. Made jokes how something is gonna happen to her and she was like just let me have a gin and tonic first and i was like il let you have two of those because im a nice one. Later on we went to a second place to have drinks and i started to make extensive eye contact with her because i was all over the head with this girl (im not a type of guy that something like that happens to often in fact it never did to be honest even tho i see alot of girls and go out alot and usualy i hide myself pretty well like im mysterous and women told me they cannont read me no matter how hard they try and they really like that about me some even told me i have no emotions and im like a stone)
Back to the story, she was like dont look at me like that because you make me nervous and i was like look at you like what? (i knew exactly like what ha) I continued to do that and later while we went back to the hotel ( she wanted to walk) i grabbed her hand and we walked and made jokes all they way back while holding hands. When we came to the hotel she was like im sleepy and i was like then you should go. She wanted to sit outside before she went up so we did. We talked and talked and the story i going with was that we probbably not gonna see eachoter ever again and thats what i stuck with. She said if i wanted to see her i would and i was like i have no time and she said again if you wanted you would. We talked and ifor some reason i had abnormal urge to kiss her like ive known her for idk how much time, i never felt such a strong and weird feeling like that, i basiclly fully fell for her in matter of hours ( crazy i know) I told her listen i dont expect anything from you i just want to kiss you and leave. She was like you are sick since your nose is runny etc ( i i told her before that my voice is funny today) and kinda rejcted me because she has flights almost daily.

2024.05.23 19:33 InterstateLoveBong Am I hopeless?
I am 32. My parents hate me because i live in there tool shed but there the ones that make me live in there. they don't have space in the house its a two bedroom but my mom and dad have two separate bedrooms for each other and they don't like it when i stay in the living room too long because i game and they want to watch tv. I always struggled with holding a job because 1. i smoke weed and it's hard to pass a drug test. 2. my bosses always hate me! i think it's because i'm not funny or good with jokes. 3. i don't have a good working history because i never really get past probation period and then i will be without a job for months so there are many gaps in my resume. 4. i dropped out in middle school and sometimes they look that up. truth is none of that bothers me anyway, i had an apartment for a year and a half once when i was 26 but then when when i was 28 i moved back in with my parents but into there tool shed. so i'm used to this.
to tell you the truth i just really hate everybody because people always just hate me i never know why. i almost want to flip off whenever somebody says hi to me. but at the same time i really want a girlfriend. i do know i have a heart condition, i'm surprised i made it this long. might die before i'm 40. thankfully

2024.05.23 19:25 KRobKinVA Kindness is Hard
 | I have a shirt I like to wear that says “Be Kind. It’s really not that hard.” But when I think about it, kindness is hard, isn’t it? If it was easy I probably wouldn’t have the shirt. If it was easy, more of our politics and culture would be driven by it. And we all know that isn’t true. On all sides of the political aisle and throughout our culture, status and personal validity are frequently intertwined with belittling, denying opportunities to, judging, controlling, or otherwise stomping on somebody else’s personal identity and hope; all of this to make folks feel larger and more important. And “feel” is the operative word there because this feeling doesn’t represent any intrinsic reality. What a mentally unsustainable way to validate oneself, if you think about it. Ultimately, this pervasive “mean” element of humankind takes the “kind” out of that word and ultimately makes us weaker and less human. submitted by KRobKinVA to u/KRobKinVA [link] [comments] Speaking of meanness, I’m struck by those that conflate masculinity and toughness with cruelty. A lot of folks have a lot to say about masculinity these days. Some believe that to be masculine men must be tough and to be tough they must be cruel. This is a real phone it in, lazy, and ultimately uninspired way to think about toughness. Real, honest grit is about overcoming, about resilience, about perseverance. Real grit isn’t built on meanness. In fact, it is enhanced by kindness, by teamwork, by collaboration. Honest grit is what we should be talking about, not this made-up, pretend cowboy idea of masculinity and toughness that you see some huffing and puffing about in a way that ultimately highlights their own weakness. Their idea of masculinity and toughness disrespects others, ignores community, ignores true resilience. Community, that “scary” idea that we all need to work together and collaborate and listen and respect and be kind to each other really struggles to stay relevant these days. The idea that we can do better when other people do better or we should leave things better for the people that follow us has gotten overtaken by the idea that we deserve what we want right now and, well, everybody else should just sink or swim on their own. We see this throughout our politics as people fight for what they see as theirs, often without regard in any way for the needs of others. Our collective selfishness, our disdain for people different than us, our self-created sense of identity that is only validated by denouncing somebody that is different than us - all of this is working hard to tear down the idea of community and by extension to tear down the idea of self-government that we as Americans are supposed to value and that is at the heart of our patriotic sense of freedom. Because without kindness, energetic kindness, we really can’t be a free society. Sure, we can fight over “freedoms” for one group or another at the expense of others, but that isn’t really freedom. That is privilege, entitlement, elitism, perhaps even authoritarianism. And those are very, very different from freedom. Real freedom takes kindness. It takes a willingness to let people be who they are. It takes holding on to and acting on a belief that we shouldn’t tolerate other people getting hurt. It takes wanting to and valuing the idea that we should be striving to make things better for everyone, not just our own selves. It takes wanting to leave something better to our kids. Now, I know, some of you are thinking, America is all about self-reliance and a pull myself up by the bootstraps spirit. It’s all about “me” rather than “us.” To that I say, are you sure about that? Without kindness, compassion, and community, few of us would have bootstraps to pull on; few of us would have opportunities at all. The collective bootstraps that help make America great were forged by generations of people looking out for the people that came after them. It is a myth that any of us get anywhere by ourselves. A myth that kills kindness and freedom, births entitlement and elitism, and ultimately will kill our American experiment if we don’t shape up. Wouldn’t that be something, we kill the idea of America, or even America itself, with a myth of self-reliance that America created? Watch out because it is happening. I’d argue that honest grit and kindness has played a much bigger part in the making of America than lonely self-reliance or false toughness, especially when those concepts are laminated together with meanness. Without the collective work of family, and I’m using a very broad idea of family here, and community making it possible, laying the groundwork, we’d have a lot less opportunity. A lot less hope. A lot less of everything. A lot less America. And without enthusiastic, forceful kindness we wouldn’t have, we can’t have, true freedom. Kindness is as radical an idea as the independence and freedom that makes America. I’d argue they are intertwined. Kindness is necessary to really trust and believe in self-governance. And I don’t think it is an accident that the growing distrust of our electoral system seems to go hand in hand with an ethos of meanness and exclusion. Sure, kindness isn’t easy, but the work of kindness makes us all better people. It also makes us happier. So says brain science at least. It also makes our country stronger; it helps make us all free. So where am I going with this? At its simplest, I’m hoping people will embrace America’s radical need for kindness. Own it. Spread it. Promote it like the radical idea that it is. Revel in it. Lift up its necessity to the achievement of freedom for everybody. At its more personal, I’m hoping folks will think twice before falling into that blame and judge others, me first way of justifying their own being. That false idea of tough masculinity and selfish self-reliance. Try radical kindness and honest grit instead. It may be hard, sure, anything worthwhile is, but a lot depends on it. We need to do more hard things and spend less time focused on immediate gratification. Humankind needs us. So be kind. Because it is hard. |
2024.05.23 17:06 Dismal-Equivalent-94 I solved the Yasuke Debate in AC
I thought I would give my two cents on this issue of Yasuke in Assasins Creed. I am aware I am not a proper historian by any means nor a prolific icon on any social media especially reddit but I thought I would give my take as at least a person who like many of us have been let down by the state of the triple AAA gaming industry and the broader landscape of media entertainment and the they often controversy entail. I don’t know if it will or strengthen arguments but I am a brown man that hates the state of DEI and the mass tokenistic and insincere pandering by corporations to appeal to minorities.
Now before I start need to at least analyse the criticism of this and unpack the core problem/s. Because it seems like a mixture of multiple gripes and issues tangled together in a tumultuous ball of yarn that has ‘Yasuke’ at the centre. Most because its not like Cleopatra where there black-washing and revising history entirely as of now Now the main issues that seem to be at the core of the problem, surrounding the characters of Assasins Creed Shadows (and not the ridiculous price are the following):
~1) Yasuke The Phony:~
Yasuke was indeed a real historical figure but his title of the first Foreign Samurai has been highly contested. This is mostly evident in the few records kept of his service both in Japan and prior to his arrival. We know he was taken from somewhere in Africa (probably east) as a child due to his strength and height.First he was servant brought from India when Alessandro Valignano came to Japan and there were written and artistic sources to confirm this. It is estimated that he served Nobunaga and lived in Japan for three years. Additionally, he was one of many Africans brought to Japan as servants for the Portuguese. Now due to the limited resources and our understanding of both Yasuke and key figures in the time along with some much-needed context the definitive answer to him being samurai is contestable.
Many points of contention from academics and general public can be listed below that point to him not being a samurai:
He wasn’t forced to commit seppuku when both Nobunaga and Nobutada had been killed, samurai had to be born into their class and he was foreigner, he could have not qualified as a samurai as it takes at least five years of extensive training in combat, arts and academics to reach the esteemed rank considering he was only under Nobunaga for one year, he was considered a ‘bushi’ and even if you wore samurai armour you were not part of the class, he was a weapons retainer.
While I personally lean towards the possibility of him being a samurai I am very positive that under Nobunaga’s service he definitely had a role that would have been a bodyguard. For one the Jesuit’s could not employ soldiers in their work so they would use bodyguards instead as a loophole. We do know that Yasuke was briefly in India with Jesuits where he was trained in combat…Also the average height of a samurai around the time were between 5ft 2 and maybe maxing out at 5ft 7 (about 155 – 165cm tall)… Now Yasuke was 182 cm tall (6ft2) so having this tall, muscular man who had inbuilt nighttime camo and mind you described as having the strength of ten men. It would be an idiotic decision too not have him in a combat role or as an intimidation factor when he was said to have the strength of ten men.
Now back to the infamous point of not being forced to commit suicide by sword and rather escorted back to the Jesuit…For starters the Akechi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda forced both Nobunaga and Nobutada to commit seppuku (not done in one sitting but separate incident in the same day). Many say that because Yasuke wasn’t forced to commit seppuku and rather forcibly escorted to a Jesuit mission nearby. Thus he wasn’t a samurai because suicide by sword was the custom when captured. Mitsuhide didn’t consider him a human being but rather sub-human due to being non-Japanese (not because of skin colour which I am aware is indicative of nationality in the time period when immigration was not really a thing but I digress). Similar attitudes and views in regards to foreigners and non-Japanese are also present in Japan. An example can mostly be seen how native Japanese treat foreigners of non-Japanese background in comparison those those with a Japanese heritage. Japanese people will be less harsh towards certain social behaviours that foreigners exhibit because you they were not born or intrenched long enough in the culture or make that assumption due to different appearance. On the other hand, a person of Japanese heritage that was born and raised abroad will have harsher consequences by Japanese society for a lack of adherence to social and cultural norms due to perceived kinship based on appearance alone. They expect them to learn the intricacies and practices of their culture.
It's also worth mentioning that the term samurai did not exist in the Sengoku period to distinguish them and came only 20 years later (around the same time William Adams washed ashore). The term ninja also came into existence much later and that historical records were a lot more comprehensive and abundant during the Edo period. Additionally it has become easy to dismiss the possibility of his ascension to samurai because of the terms ‘weapons bearer’ and incorrectly refer to him as a slave. The man was given a short sword, land, a house and made a member of his vassal (basically a part of his entourage). Diminishing his role would be like the equivalent of disrespecting the grounds keeper of the Whitehouse (not the best comparison) but the point is that even if he was a butler to Oda it was to highly regarded role it was how he was serving. Now this isn’t supposed to conclude that he is definitely a samurai but rather condemn by critiquing a common problem this Yasuke controversy caused…The notion that concluding Yasuke wasn’t a samurai because of absent evidence is equally wrong as too say he was a samurai. In fact people also were said to have been given partial status as samurai but as said earlier the distinction was never made between the levels of warriors until much later. Now although he may have not likely been a samurai he would have at the minimum had a protective semi-combative role rather than a mere slave.
2. Prioritisation to pander towards one minoirty group:
Many have complained that having a Japanese male protagonist should have been in the game. Now for me it is honestly a mixed bag. I can understand the de facto logic of playing as a Japanese person in feudal Japan but by having a foreign samurai and female ninja as playable protagonists allows Shadow’s narrative and visuals to stand out from other video games that depict historically accurate samurai. This is especially true when considering the recent release and praise for Ghost of Tsushima (GoT) and Rise of Ronin (ROR). Therefore, while I would have preferred the standard route of having a male Japanese historical figure who was a renowned warrior and figure I honestly believe that future video games could replace the expectation currently placed on Assassins Creed, especially with the success of East Asian ethnic groups in our modern socio-cultural landscape. I mean you East Asians are eating good with how it took 5 years for Jung Kim to get into the MCU but 12 years for Dev Patel to become John Vick. (This is a joke of course but it does highlight a serious point…About this DEI.) To be honest its tragic because the whole fixation on DEI-ly bread in the media will literally treat you like the god awful Hwhite man when it’s a story about your own country but the moment your in the West you guys get the victim card back.
And honestly there was probably lots of potential for having a female ninja as she would have had to not rely so much on strength but knowing what weed companies be smoking they probably are not going to do something meaningful. Now as for Japanese outlash towards Yasuke is honestly overblown! Mostly because he has been prominently depicted as a samurai and or swordsman in Japan through various media with equally diverging adherence to historical accuracy and authenticity even before the terrible Netflix anime. You would think that there would have been outrage in Japan for this depiction in 2021 but nope only seems to happen three years later. And while im not denying that lots of Japanese fans would be disappointed or angry a lot are ok with his depiction of samurai like they always have but are aware of how their history is being perverted by the west too fuel the woke narrative.
Now if you remember who is making this game then you will realise Yasuke being a main protagonist is slightly overblown. Yes, he was most likely used for DEI but if we also combine this with the fact the bad press other Ubisoft projects have been getting lately such as Star Wars: Outlaws and Skull and Bones especially with the current state of the socio-political landscape it’s not surprising in the slightest that the outrage would happened and reached boiling point so rapidly.
Hypothetically speaking if a video game studio that was more well received and favoured by gamers created the same project such as Sucker Punch… Better yet if this was created in Ubisoft’s prime or better yet after AC: Origins the Punch the controversy in regard to the group identity of the protagonists would be less of an issue unfortunately nowadays all the good examples of representation get targeted because of idiots that cant write competent original stories.
God of War Ragnarök for example featured for the first time characters that appear Black in the form of Angrboda and Hildisvíni which created a lot of controversy as they were dealing with Norse mythology and it is set in the Nordic countries the first place you think of when I say Black people. (I say appear because since the subjects in question aren’t humans they wouldn’t have this concept of race). This was most likely a result of DEI with some arguing that since Angrboda was described as ‘blue’ in mythology which was also used to refer to people of darker complexions most notably Africans it is acceptable, but I digress. The main point is that despite the fears created enough trust was placed by fans and gamers alike in Santa Monica studios due their stellar reputation. Thus, the trepidation despite still apparent was drowned out by the excitement and love for the previous game and in the end faith ultimately prevailed. In fact when the game it finally released the reception was overwhelmingly positive and race-swapping as a result of DEI was mostly overlooked as the developers were competent and focused on creating an enjoyable playable experience. Sadly I don’t think Ubisoft has any sort of semblance of a brain or backbone to pull of wonders at this stage.
~3. Playing as a character who belongs to a majority group from the region:~
This argument is easily dismantled if you dive into the Assassins Creed Video Games. Revelations had an Italian man in Turkey, Black Flag had a Welsh man in the Caribbean, Valhalla had a Norse/Scandinavian man in England. Now a black man in Japan who is contested to be a samurai is ok so long as he is WRITTEN WELL! (which is not gonna happen).
~4. Sweet Baby Inc is not involved with shit!~
Sweet Baby inc. as you know doesn’t have a good reputation and while they are definitely a problem they are not the problem only symptom of it. The only ‘evidence’ of any collaboration the infamous company has with the project is that they are followed by the AC: shadows lead writer who is arguably a leftist extremist evident by the twitter bio of the she/her pronouns. This is honestly lofty and an uncredible as it is not listed as project they are a part of. While it is easy to look at the state of the triple AAA gaming industry, from property level prices, diminishing quality with the creativity of a dead donkey coupled with how it constantly shoves a neo-Marxist socio-political and ideological agenda down our throats. Sweet Baby is only a fish in this giant tidal wave of turds as they are one of many consultancy groups that would intend to make money off ‘wokeism’. It would be the equivalent of assuming that one producer, director or even writer in Hollywood is ruining our films when we see a trailer for an obviously woke film just because the project’s director follows them on social media or appreciates there. It’s just a bold triggering statement to rile us up and vent our frustrations. If we used deductive reasoning and recalled upon the various events that demonstrate the permeance of wokeism we would realise that the division responsible for helming this bland, bloated, blundering behemoth of beluga shite is Ubisoft Quebec, in Canada.
A country as you know that is notorious for being the most active fighter on the front for the West to push ‘THE MESSAGE’ (as the drinker would say). So considering the tyranny and radical Marxism that Justin Castro has on the country and how powerful his government has been in implementing this agenda in the fabric of Canadian society is it not more logical to say that these Leftists are just creating a project that endorses the values and attitudes that the government propagates? In fact Canada is so instrumental in the pushing this ideological agenda it is the headquarters and base of operations for the DEI-stopia and with their notorious contributions such as adding ‘two spirit’ to the Alphabet acronym, imprisoning individuals for incorrect usage of someone’s pronouns and even your child undergo gender transition therapy without your consent or knowledge. In fact with the way they are going is it any wonder they want to declare war on South Africa for the title of the “Rainbow nation”. Sweet Baby is only getting the treatment they deserve because of their clear hijacking of The Suicide Squad video game which exposed them to collective wrath of the persistent and resilient people on the frontlines defending our escapism from this blatant preposterous political propaganda. After all “bad publicity is still publicity” because the exposure will probably lead to these blood-sucking parasites getting sought after by other delusional dastardly dags who are reluctant to meet their DEI-ly Dose of Woke. This ‘bad press’ only makes them stronger so don’t go blaming them…Save it for Canada.
~5. Historical accuracy and fantasy of real life and going against the game~
Fiction is defined as a type of literature that describes imaginary people and events, not real ones. Now this seems to contradict the idea of History which is essentially about true events that have occurred in our past. Historical Fiction is set in a real place, during a culturally recognizable time. The details and the action in the story can be a mix of actual events and ones from the author's or creators’ imagination as they fill in the gaps. Characters can be pure fiction or based on real people. An essential element of historical fiction is that it is set in the past and pays attention to the manners, social conditions, and other details of the depicted period.
This means that while you have the liberty to be creative in what you conjure like a fiction story as an author and writer you are still bound by a certain level of historical accuracy for immersions sake. Assassin’s Creed 1 most did this by removing the crossbow that was seen in the trailer this value and emphasis on being as historically authentic as possible showed the attention to detail from the developers but sadly as we know was lost in subsequent games. Now historical accuracy regarding the franchise and especially is somewhat tricky to navigate as they have introduced Sci-fi elements as previously stated as well. Additionally the fact that no one has sought to define the parameters that fall under historical accuracy when it comes to the real life events that AC is based on so I will take a stab at it (pun intended). One such creative license is of course having Yasuke being a samurai but if he becomes the Shogun or something ridiculous then yeah there stretching it pal.
Of course, this only applies to the aspects involving human stories and time periods but ultimately how they choose to unravel or progress the story via gaps in the records of reality will of course make it fiction. If historical fiction had to be as reflective of reality as possible then you would be left with a lack of creativity and some pretty big gaps. Assasin’s Creed should be historically accurate in regard to retelling key events and depicting the backdrop that constitutes the time period. Now considering the premise of the franchise is dependent upon the idea of two secret organisations with polarising ideologies founded in ancient times battling and operating in the shadows throughout various historical settings and times to determine the fate of mankind and the world… One could say “Everything is permitted”. Of course that does not mean you simply say “fuck off” to historical accuracy its honestly dependent on how much the writer wants to abide by it and considering that The AC lore is supposed to closely mirror ours in how history unfolds with some Assassin-esque alterations obviously for the greater over arcing story and to not be called a documentary… The series is not trying to be as faithful to the real life lore as the showrunners of Shogun nor are they reaching the biblical accuracy of Ridley Scots Gladiator. If somebody is complaining about historical accuracy of the franchise because it has created expectations to do so since birth then we should ask ourselves what are the ratios of historical accuracy to creative licence. Is it 50 – 50, 70 to 30? If you can say that then you can make your case better at least.
Now if your saying that the lack of adhering to historical accuracy because a lack of it will lead too problematic, revisionism fuelled by a political and ideological agenda… That’s somewhat more of a valid point…Especially with the leaks we have been getting such as the director wanting to put a foreign protagonist because of his inability to understand Japanese culture and society or the latest statement that Yasuke and Naoe will be part of the Alphabet Axis in probably the most politician type answer to hit the gaming press. This is also apparent considering the historian they hired is notoriously getting traction for her work on exploring homosexual relations in Japan from pre-1700’s (most notably “Yaoi”) amongst Buddhists and Boys. If they want to make the characters have romance options with men or woman that’s fine. The problem will be if they portray such relationships as commonplace were like they what they did for Odyssey. It will also be ok to call out the game for such liberty with history if they feature Africans outside of their role’s as servants to the Jesuit’s or in places of prominent power and authority. This of course would be revisionism and the only African person close to ever having the potential to wield more power than his fellow patrons is Yasuke because he was lucky enough to receive the attention of Oda Nobunaga who was probably the most likely the feudal lord in the period to do such a thing. Now while like Cleopatra this is very different. The game doesn’t promote Afro-centric ideas that the Japanese were black, or that the samurai were black so that GI Jane 2 can make her daughter feel better by claiming fact.
Now for those who say “Why do you care it’s fantasy.” Are also missing the point. Just because it is not real doesn’t mean that all logic and rules set for the world can be broken. A good explanation can be found in my paraphrasing and understanding of J.R.R Tolkien’s quote. It goes something along the lines of you only need to suspend your disbelief once. And that is for the world and laws of the universe that govern the fictional world it to exist. You cannot or should not suspend your disbelief a second time to rationalise when the rules established are broken or the possibilities based on inference are non-feasible. In Dragon ball human beings are capable of incredible feats of strength and almost mystical feats if they train hard enough. One such example if being able to run as fast as a moving car which is not innate but earned through discipline.
If it was established that humans were as strong in the franchise as they were in real life and suddenly Krillin (a human) ran as fast as a car or some other ability that was not discussed and it occurred, during a pivotal moment in the story that is not explained and breaks the rules of the established world. Then you cannot rationalise it just for being fiction! There is a literal reason why fiction stories 99% of the time don’t end like “an then a wizard appeared and cast a spell to make everything better or they woke up and realised it was all a dream.” Your goal should be to bend the rules of the established rules but not break it so that you could not plan ahead.
It’s the reason why AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla made fans go… “HEY YO WHAT THE FUCK!” when it added fantastical elements such as mythological creatures, immortality, and other foreign mumbo jumbo. Even when the franchise introduced aliens while arguably still a WTF! Was ultimately the execution of this plot point that resulted in it being less jarring. In other words, the Aliens were still a possibility with some explanation that could integrate into the lore of the universe created. The moment the fantastical and supernatural elements were added in with the recent titles (except Mirage which stayed away from these elements) it failed to follow a process of coherent narrative integration to justify its presence.
~Summary:~
The decision for Ubisoft to make their protagonists a black samurai, Yasuke and female ninja for their upcoming game Assassin's Creed Shadows had the potential to create a compelling and unique narrative that differentiates itself from other historically accurate Samurai Video games through using a degree of creative license that is well known in the series to explore unique perspectives with two obscure historical figures that easily blend into the franchise mythos. However, due to the poor reputation of Ubisoft, the current goal of the entertainment in multi-media enforce politics and inside information regarding the development team, has led to the company’s choice of an African protagonist in feudal Japan to become more controversial than intended which is especially true when he most likely used by Western corporations to promote and push a socio-ideological and political agenda to pander to minorities whilst displaying the most audacious form of hypocrisy of the far left by making an Asian male lead absent in a country he is native and cause outrage on both sides of the political isles.

Now before I start need to at least analyse the criticism of this and unpack the core problem/s. Because it seems like a mixture of multiple gripes and issues tangled together in a tumultuous ball of yarn that has ‘Yasuke’ at the centre. Most because its not like Cleopatra where there black-washing and revising history entirely as of now Now the main issues that seem to be at the core of the problem, surrounding the characters of Assasins Creed Shadows (and not the ridiculous price are the following):
- Yasuke’s status as a real historical figure and a samurai:
- Prioritisation to pander towards one minoirty group over another through not having an East Asian or more specificilly Japanese male protagonist,
- Playing as a charcater who belongs to the ethnic majority of a region the video game is set in
- The involvement of Sweet Baby Inc
- Historical accuracy of real life and going against the game lore + fantasy
~1) Yasuke The Phony:~
Yasuke was indeed a real historical figure but his title of the first Foreign Samurai has been highly contested. This is mostly evident in the few records kept of his service both in Japan and prior to his arrival. We know he was taken from somewhere in Africa (probably east) as a child due to his strength and height.First he was servant brought from India when Alessandro Valignano came to Japan and there were written and artistic sources to confirm this. It is estimated that he served Nobunaga and lived in Japan for three years. Additionally, he was one of many Africans brought to Japan as servants for the Portuguese. Now due to the limited resources and our understanding of both Yasuke and key figures in the time along with some much-needed context the definitive answer to him being samurai is contestable.
Many points of contention from academics and general public can be listed below that point to him not being a samurai:
He wasn’t forced to commit seppuku when both Nobunaga and Nobutada had been killed, samurai had to be born into their class and he was foreigner, he could have not qualified as a samurai as it takes at least five years of extensive training in combat, arts and academics to reach the esteemed rank considering he was only under Nobunaga for one year, he was considered a ‘bushi’ and even if you wore samurai armour you were not part of the class, he was a weapons retainer.
While I personally lean towards the possibility of him being a samurai I am very positive that under Nobunaga’s service he definitely had a role that would have been a bodyguard. For one the Jesuit’s could not employ soldiers in their work so they would use bodyguards instead as a loophole. We do know that Yasuke was briefly in India with Jesuits where he was trained in combat…Also the average height of a samurai around the time were between 5ft 2 and maybe maxing out at 5ft 7 (about 155 – 165cm tall)… Now Yasuke was 182 cm tall (6ft2) so having this tall, muscular man who had inbuilt nighttime camo and mind you described as having the strength of ten men. It would be an idiotic decision too not have him in a combat role or as an intimidation factor when he was said to have the strength of ten men.
Now back to the infamous point of not being forced to commit suicide by sword and rather escorted back to the Jesuit…For starters the Akechi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda forced both Nobunaga and Nobutada to commit seppuku (not done in one sitting but separate incident in the same day). Many say that because Yasuke wasn’t forced to commit seppuku and rather forcibly escorted to a Jesuit mission nearby. Thus he wasn’t a samurai because suicide by sword was the custom when captured. Mitsuhide didn’t consider him a human being but rather sub-human due to being non-Japanese (not because of skin colour which I am aware is indicative of nationality in the time period when immigration was not really a thing but I digress). Similar attitudes and views in regards to foreigners and non-Japanese are also present in Japan. An example can mostly be seen how native Japanese treat foreigners of non-Japanese background in comparison those those with a Japanese heritage. Japanese people will be less harsh towards certain social behaviours that foreigners exhibit because you they were not born or intrenched long enough in the culture or make that assumption due to different appearance. On the other hand, a person of Japanese heritage that was born and raised abroad will have harsher consequences by Japanese society for a lack of adherence to social and cultural norms due to perceived kinship based on appearance alone. They expect them to learn the intricacies and practices of their culture.
It's also worth mentioning that the term samurai did not exist in the Sengoku period to distinguish them and came only 20 years later (around the same time William Adams washed ashore). The term ninja also came into existence much later and that historical records were a lot more comprehensive and abundant during the Edo period. Additionally it has become easy to dismiss the possibility of his ascension to samurai because of the terms ‘weapons bearer’ and incorrectly refer to him as a slave. The man was given a short sword, land, a house and made a member of his vassal (basically a part of his entourage). Diminishing his role would be like the equivalent of disrespecting the grounds keeper of the Whitehouse (not the best comparison) but the point is that even if he was a butler to Oda it was to highly regarded role it was how he was serving. Now this isn’t supposed to conclude that he is definitely a samurai but rather condemn by critiquing a common problem this Yasuke controversy caused…The notion that concluding Yasuke wasn’t a samurai because of absent evidence is equally wrong as too say he was a samurai. In fact people also were said to have been given partial status as samurai but as said earlier the distinction was never made between the levels of warriors until much later. Now although he may have not likely been a samurai he would have at the minimum had a protective semi-combative role rather than a mere slave.
2. Prioritisation to pander towards one minoirty group:
Many have complained that having a Japanese male protagonist should have been in the game. Now for me it is honestly a mixed bag. I can understand the de facto logic of playing as a Japanese person in feudal Japan but by having a foreign samurai and female ninja as playable protagonists allows Shadow’s narrative and visuals to stand out from other video games that depict historically accurate samurai. This is especially true when considering the recent release and praise for Ghost of Tsushima (GoT) and Rise of Ronin (ROR). Therefore, while I would have preferred the standard route of having a male Japanese historical figure who was a renowned warrior and figure I honestly believe that future video games could replace the expectation currently placed on Assassins Creed, especially with the success of East Asian ethnic groups in our modern socio-cultural landscape. I mean you East Asians are eating good with how it took 5 years for Jung Kim to get into the MCU but 12 years for Dev Patel to become John Vick. (This is a joke of course but it does highlight a serious point…About this DEI.) To be honest its tragic because the whole fixation on DEI-ly bread in the media will literally treat you like the god awful Hwhite man when it’s a story about your own country but the moment your in the West you guys get the victim card back.
And honestly there was probably lots of potential for having a female ninja as she would have had to not rely so much on strength but knowing what weed companies be smoking they probably are not going to do something meaningful. Now as for Japanese outlash towards Yasuke is honestly overblown! Mostly because he has been prominently depicted as a samurai and or swordsman in Japan through various media with equally diverging adherence to historical accuracy and authenticity even before the terrible Netflix anime. You would think that there would have been outrage in Japan for this depiction in 2021 but nope only seems to happen three years later. And while im not denying that lots of Japanese fans would be disappointed or angry a lot are ok with his depiction of samurai like they always have but are aware of how their history is being perverted by the west too fuel the woke narrative.
Now if you remember who is making this game then you will realise Yasuke being a main protagonist is slightly overblown. Yes, he was most likely used for DEI but if we also combine this with the fact the bad press other Ubisoft projects have been getting lately such as Star Wars: Outlaws and Skull and Bones especially with the current state of the socio-political landscape it’s not surprising in the slightest that the outrage would happened and reached boiling point so rapidly.
Hypothetically speaking if a video game studio that was more well received and favoured by gamers created the same project such as Sucker Punch… Better yet if this was created in Ubisoft’s prime or better yet after AC: Origins the Punch the controversy in regard to the group identity of the protagonists would be less of an issue unfortunately nowadays all the good examples of representation get targeted because of idiots that cant write competent original stories.
God of War Ragnarök for example featured for the first time characters that appear Black in the form of Angrboda and Hildisvíni which created a lot of controversy as they were dealing with Norse mythology and it is set in the Nordic countries the first place you think of when I say Black people. (I say appear because since the subjects in question aren’t humans they wouldn’t have this concept of race). This was most likely a result of DEI with some arguing that since Angrboda was described as ‘blue’ in mythology which was also used to refer to people of darker complexions most notably Africans it is acceptable, but I digress. The main point is that despite the fears created enough trust was placed by fans and gamers alike in Santa Monica studios due their stellar reputation. Thus, the trepidation despite still apparent was drowned out by the excitement and love for the previous game and in the end faith ultimately prevailed. In fact when the game it finally released the reception was overwhelmingly positive and race-swapping as a result of DEI was mostly overlooked as the developers were competent and focused on creating an enjoyable playable experience. Sadly I don’t think Ubisoft has any sort of semblance of a brain or backbone to pull of wonders at this stage.
~3. Playing as a character who belongs to a majority group from the region:~
This argument is easily dismantled if you dive into the Assassins Creed Video Games. Revelations had an Italian man in Turkey, Black Flag had a Welsh man in the Caribbean, Valhalla had a Norse/Scandinavian man in England. Now a black man in Japan who is contested to be a samurai is ok so long as he is WRITTEN WELL! (which is not gonna happen).
~4. Sweet Baby Inc is not involved with shit!~
Sweet Baby inc. as you know doesn’t have a good reputation and while they are definitely a problem they are not the problem only symptom of it. The only ‘evidence’ of any collaboration the infamous company has with the project is that they are followed by the AC: shadows lead writer who is arguably a leftist extremist evident by the twitter bio of the she/her pronouns. This is honestly lofty and an uncredible as it is not listed as project they are a part of. While it is easy to look at the state of the triple AAA gaming industry, from property level prices, diminishing quality with the creativity of a dead donkey coupled with how it constantly shoves a neo-Marxist socio-political and ideological agenda down our throats. Sweet Baby is only a fish in this giant tidal wave of turds as they are one of many consultancy groups that would intend to make money off ‘wokeism’. It would be the equivalent of assuming that one producer, director or even writer in Hollywood is ruining our films when we see a trailer for an obviously woke film just because the project’s director follows them on social media or appreciates there. It’s just a bold triggering statement to rile us up and vent our frustrations. If we used deductive reasoning and recalled upon the various events that demonstrate the permeance of wokeism we would realise that the division responsible for helming this bland, bloated, blundering behemoth of beluga shite is Ubisoft Quebec, in Canada.
A country as you know that is notorious for being the most active fighter on the front for the West to push ‘THE MESSAGE’ (as the drinker would say). So considering the tyranny and radical Marxism that Justin Castro has on the country and how powerful his government has been in implementing this agenda in the fabric of Canadian society is it not more logical to say that these Leftists are just creating a project that endorses the values and attitudes that the government propagates? In fact Canada is so instrumental in the pushing this ideological agenda it is the headquarters and base of operations for the DEI-stopia and with their notorious contributions such as adding ‘two spirit’ to the Alphabet acronym, imprisoning individuals for incorrect usage of someone’s pronouns and even your child undergo gender transition therapy without your consent or knowledge. In fact with the way they are going is it any wonder they want to declare war on South Africa for the title of the “Rainbow nation”. Sweet Baby is only getting the treatment they deserve because of their clear hijacking of The Suicide Squad video game which exposed them to collective wrath of the persistent and resilient people on the frontlines defending our escapism from this blatant preposterous political propaganda. After all “bad publicity is still publicity” because the exposure will probably lead to these blood-sucking parasites getting sought after by other delusional dastardly dags who are reluctant to meet their DEI-ly Dose of Woke. This ‘bad press’ only makes them stronger so don’t go blaming them…Save it for Canada.
~5. Historical accuracy and fantasy of real life and going against the game~
Fiction is defined as a type of literature that describes imaginary people and events, not real ones. Now this seems to contradict the idea of History which is essentially about true events that have occurred in our past. Historical Fiction is set in a real place, during a culturally recognizable time. The details and the action in the story can be a mix of actual events and ones from the author's or creators’ imagination as they fill in the gaps. Characters can be pure fiction or based on real people. An essential element of historical fiction is that it is set in the past and pays attention to the manners, social conditions, and other details of the depicted period.
This means that while you have the liberty to be creative in what you conjure like a fiction story as an author and writer you are still bound by a certain level of historical accuracy for immersions sake. Assassin’s Creed 1 most did this by removing the crossbow that was seen in the trailer this value and emphasis on being as historically authentic as possible showed the attention to detail from the developers but sadly as we know was lost in subsequent games. Now historical accuracy regarding the franchise and especially is somewhat tricky to navigate as they have introduced Sci-fi elements as previously stated as well. Additionally the fact that no one has sought to define the parameters that fall under historical accuracy when it comes to the real life events that AC is based on so I will take a stab at it (pun intended). One such creative license is of course having Yasuke being a samurai but if he becomes the Shogun or something ridiculous then yeah there stretching it pal.
Of course, this only applies to the aspects involving human stories and time periods but ultimately how they choose to unravel or progress the story via gaps in the records of reality will of course make it fiction. If historical fiction had to be as reflective of reality as possible then you would be left with a lack of creativity and some pretty big gaps. Assasin’s Creed should be historically accurate in regard to retelling key events and depicting the backdrop that constitutes the time period. Now considering the premise of the franchise is dependent upon the idea of two secret organisations with polarising ideologies founded in ancient times battling and operating in the shadows throughout various historical settings and times to determine the fate of mankind and the world… One could say “Everything is permitted”. Of course that does not mean you simply say “fuck off” to historical accuracy its honestly dependent on how much the writer wants to abide by it and considering that The AC lore is supposed to closely mirror ours in how history unfolds with some Assassin-esque alterations obviously for the greater over arcing story and to not be called a documentary… The series is not trying to be as faithful to the real life lore as the showrunners of Shogun nor are they reaching the biblical accuracy of Ridley Scots Gladiator. If somebody is complaining about historical accuracy of the franchise because it has created expectations to do so since birth then we should ask ourselves what are the ratios of historical accuracy to creative licence. Is it 50 – 50, 70 to 30? If you can say that then you can make your case better at least.
Now if your saying that the lack of adhering to historical accuracy because a lack of it will lead too problematic, revisionism fuelled by a political and ideological agenda… That’s somewhat more of a valid point…Especially with the leaks we have been getting such as the director wanting to put a foreign protagonist because of his inability to understand Japanese culture and society or the latest statement that Yasuke and Naoe will be part of the Alphabet Axis in probably the most politician type answer to hit the gaming press. This is also apparent considering the historian they hired is notoriously getting traction for her work on exploring homosexual relations in Japan from pre-1700’s (most notably “Yaoi”) amongst Buddhists and Boys. If they want to make the characters have romance options with men or woman that’s fine. The problem will be if they portray such relationships as commonplace were like they what they did for Odyssey. It will also be ok to call out the game for such liberty with history if they feature Africans outside of their role’s as servants to the Jesuit’s or in places of prominent power and authority. This of course would be revisionism and the only African person close to ever having the potential to wield more power than his fellow patrons is Yasuke because he was lucky enough to receive the attention of Oda Nobunaga who was probably the most likely the feudal lord in the period to do such a thing. Now while like Cleopatra this is very different. The game doesn’t promote Afro-centric ideas that the Japanese were black, or that the samurai were black so that GI Jane 2 can make her daughter feel better by claiming fact.
Now for those who say “Why do you care it’s fantasy.” Are also missing the point. Just because it is not real doesn’t mean that all logic and rules set for the world can be broken. A good explanation can be found in my paraphrasing and understanding of J.R.R Tolkien’s quote. It goes something along the lines of you only need to suspend your disbelief once. And that is for the world and laws of the universe that govern the fictional world it to exist. You cannot or should not suspend your disbelief a second time to rationalise when the rules established are broken or the possibilities based on inference are non-feasible. In Dragon ball human beings are capable of incredible feats of strength and almost mystical feats if they train hard enough. One such example if being able to run as fast as a moving car which is not innate but earned through discipline.
If it was established that humans were as strong in the franchise as they were in real life and suddenly Krillin (a human) ran as fast as a car or some other ability that was not discussed and it occurred, during a pivotal moment in the story that is not explained and breaks the rules of the established world. Then you cannot rationalise it just for being fiction! There is a literal reason why fiction stories 99% of the time don’t end like “an then a wizard appeared and cast a spell to make everything better or they woke up and realised it was all a dream.” Your goal should be to bend the rules of the established rules but not break it so that you could not plan ahead.
It’s the reason why AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla made fans go… “HEY YO WHAT THE FUCK!” when it added fantastical elements such as mythological creatures, immortality, and other foreign mumbo jumbo. Even when the franchise introduced aliens while arguably still a WTF! Was ultimately the execution of this plot point that resulted in it being less jarring. In other words, the Aliens were still a possibility with some explanation that could integrate into the lore of the universe created. The moment the fantastical and supernatural elements were added in with the recent titles (except Mirage which stayed away from these elements) it failed to follow a process of coherent narrative integration to justify its presence.
~Summary:~
The decision for Ubisoft to make their protagonists a black samurai, Yasuke and female ninja for their upcoming game Assassin's Creed Shadows had the potential to create a compelling and unique narrative that differentiates itself from other historically accurate Samurai Video games through using a degree of creative license that is well known in the series to explore unique perspectives with two obscure historical figures that easily blend into the franchise mythos. However, due to the poor reputation of Ubisoft, the current goal of the entertainment in multi-media enforce politics and inside information regarding the development team, has led to the company’s choice of an African protagonist in feudal Japan to become more controversial than intended which is especially true when he most likely used by Western corporations to promote and push a socio-ideological and political agenda to pander to minorities whilst displaying the most audacious form of hypocrisy of the far left by making an Asian male lead absent in a country he is native and cause outrage on both sides of the political isles.
2024.05.23 16:20 Dismal-Equivalent-94 I end the Yasuke debate with facts and logic
I thought I would give my two cents on this issue of Yasuke in Assasins Creed. I am aware I am not a proper historian by any means nor a prolific icon on any social media especially reddit but I thought I would give my take as at least a person who like many of us have been let down by the state of the triple AAA gaming industry and the broader landscape of media entertainment and the they often controversy entail. I don’t know if it will or strengthen arguments but I am a brown man that hates the state of DEI and the mass tokenistic and insincere pandering by corporations to appeal to minorities.
Now before I start need to at least analyse the criticism of this and unpack the core problem/s. Because it seems like a mixture of multiple gripes and issues tangled together in a tumultuous ball of yarn that has ‘Yasuke’ at the centre. Most because its not like Cleopatra where there black-washing and revising history entirely as of now Now the main issues that seem to be at the core of the problem, surrounding the characters of Assasins Creed Shadows (and not the ridiculous price are the following):
~1) Yasuke The Phony:~
Yasuke was indeed a real historical figure but his title of the first Foreign Samurai has been highly contested. This is mostly evident in the few records kept of his service both in Japan and prior to his arrival. We know he was taken from somewhere in Africa (probably east) as a child due to his strength and height.First he was servant brought from India when Alessandro Valignano came to Japan and there were written and artistic sources to confirm this. It is estimated that he served Nobunaga and lived in Japan for three years. Additionally, he was one of many Africans brought to Japan as servants for the Portuguese. Now due to the limited resources and our understanding of both Yasuke and key figures in the time along with some much-needed context the definitive answer to him being samurai is contestable.
Many points of contention from academics and general public can be listed below that point to him not being a samurai:
He wasn’t forced to commit seppuku when both Nobunaga and Nobutada had been killed, samurai had to be born into their class and he was foreigner, he could have not qualified as a samurai as it takes at least five years of extensive training in combat, arts and academics to reach the esteemed rank considering he was only under Nobunaga for one year, he was considered a ‘bushi’ and even if you wore samurai armour you were not part of the class, he was a weapons retainer.
While I personally lean towards the possibility of him being a samurai I am very positive that under Nobunaga’s service he definitely had a role that would have been a bodyguard. For one the Jesuit’s could not employ soldiers in their work so they would use bodyguards instead as a loophole. We do know that Yasuke was briefly in India with Jesuits where he was trained in combat…Also the average height of a samurai around the time were between 5ft 2 and maybe maxing out at 5ft 7 (about 155 – 165cm tall)… Now Yasuke was 182 cm tall (6ft2) so having this tall, muscular man who had inbuilt nighttime camo and mind you described as having the strength of ten men. It would be an idiotic decision too not have him in a combat role or as an intimidation factor when he was said to have the strength of ten men.
Now back to the infamous point of not being forced to commit suicide by sword and rather escorted back to the Jesuit…For starters the Akechi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda forced both Nobunaga and Nobutada to commit seppuku (not done in one sitting but separate incident in the same day). Many say that because Yasuke wasn’t forced to commit seppuku and rather forcibly escorted to a Jesuit mission nearby. Thus he wasn’t a samurai because suicide by sword was the custom when captured. Mitsuhide didn’t consider him a human being but rather sub-human due to being non-Japanese (not because of skin colour which I am aware is indicative of nationality in the time period when immigration was not really a thing but I digress). Similar attitudes and views in regards to foreigners and non-Japanese are also present in Japan. An example can mostly be seen how native Japanese treat foreigners of non-Japanese background in comparison those those with a Japanese heritage. Japanese people will be less harsh towards certain social behaviours that foreigners exhibit because you they were not born or intrenched long enough in the culture or make that assumption due to different appearance. On the other hand, a person of Japanese heritage that was born and raised abroad will have harsher consequences by Japanese society for a lack of adherence to social and cultural norms due to perceived kinship based on appearance alone. They expect them to learn the intricacies and practices of their culture.
It's also worth mentioning that the term samurai did not exist in the Sengoku period to distinguish them and came only 20 years later (around the same time William Adams washed ashore). The term ninja also came into existence much later and that historical records were a lot more comprehensive and abundant during the Edo period. Additionally it has become easy to dismiss the possibility of his ascension to samurai because of the terms ‘weapons bearer’ and incorrectly refer to him as a slave. The man was given a short sword, land, a house and made a member of his vassal (basically a part of his entourage). Diminishing his role would be like the equivalent of disrespecting the grounds keeper of the Whitehouse (not the best comparison) but the point is that even if he was a butler to Oda it was to highly regarded role it was how he was serving. Now this isn’t supposed to conclude that he is definitely a samurai but rather condemn by critiquing a common problem this Yasuke controversy caused…The notion that concluding Yasuke wasn’t a samurai because of absent evidence is equally wrong as too say he was a samurai. In fact people also were said to have been given partial status as samurai but as said earlier the distinction was never made between the levels of warriors until much later. Now although he may have not likely been a samurai he would have at the minimum had a protective semi-combative role rather than a mere slave.
Edit: From further digging apparently historians agree he was highly regarded by Nobunaga and held position as some kind of warrior or combatant. However contention comes from whether or not he was a full fledged samurai or if he was granted some of the privileges making him a half samurai rather than the propagated myth by the deniers saying he was a glorified slave and exotic pet to laud over.
2. Prioritisation to pander towards one minoirty group:
Many have complained that having a Japanese male protagonist should have been in the game. Now for me it is honestly a mixed bag. I can understand the de facto logic of playing as a Japanese person in feudal Japan but by having a foreign samurai and female ninja as playable protagonists allows Shadow’s narrative and visuals to stand out from other video games that depict historically accurate samurai. This is especially true when considering the recent release and praise for Ghost of Tsushima (GoT) and Rise of Ronin (ROR). Therefore, while I would have preferred the standard route of having a male Japanese historical figure who was a renowned warrior and figure I honestly believe that future video games could replace the expectation currently placed on Assassins Creed, especially with the success of East Asian ethnic groups in our modern socio-cultural landscape. I mean you East Asians are eating good with how it took 5 years for Jung Kim to get into the MCU but 12 years for Dev Patel to become John Vick. (This is a joke of course but it does highlight a serious point…About this DEI.) To be honest its tragic because the whole fixation on DEI-ly bread in the media will literally treat you like the god awful Hwhite man when it’s a story about your own country but the moment your in the West you guys get the victim card back.
And honestly there was probably lots of potential for having a female ninja as she would have had to not rely so much on strength but knowing what weed companies be smoking they probably are not going to do something meaningful. Now as for Japanese outlash towards Yasuke is honestly overblown! Mostly because he has been prominently depicted as a samurai and or swordsman in Japan through various media with equally diverging adherence to historical accuracy and authenticity even before the terrible Netflix anime. You would think that there would have been outrage in Japan for this depiction in 2021 but nope only seems to happen three years later. And while im not denying that lots of Japanese fans would be disappointed or angry a lot are ok with his depiction of samurai like they always have but are aware of how their history is being perverted by the west too fuel the woke narrative.
Now if you remember who is making this game then you will realise Yasuke being a main protagonist is slightly overblown. Yes, he was most likely used for DEI but if we also combine this with the fact the bad press other Ubisoft projects have been getting lately such as Star Wars: Outlaws and Skull and Bones especially with the current state of the socio-political landscape it’s not surprising in the slightest that the outrage would happened and reached boiling point so rapidly.
Hypothetically speaking if a video game studio that was more well received and favoured by gamers created the same project such as Sucker Punch… Better yet if this was created in Ubisoft’s prime or better yet after AC: Origins the Punch the controversy in regard to the group identity of the protagonists would be less of an issue unfortunately nowadays all the good examples of representation get targeted because of idiots that cant write competent original stories.
God of War Ragnarök for example featured for the first time characters that appear Black in the form of Angrboda and Hildisvíni which created a lot of controversy as they were dealing with Norse mythology and it is set in the Nordic countries the first place you think of when I say Black people. (I say appear because since the subjects in question aren’t humans they wouldn’t have this concept of race). This was most likely a result of DEI with some arguing that since Angrboda was described as ‘blue’ in mythology which was also used to refer to people of darker complexions most notably Africans it is acceptable, but I digress. The main point is that despite the fears created enough trust was placed by fans and gamers alike in Santa Monica studios due their stellar reputation. Thus, the trepidation despite still apparent was drowned out by the excitement and love for the previous game and in the end faith ultimately prevailed. In fact when the game it finally released the reception was overwhelmingly positive and race-swapping as a result of DEI was mostly overlooked as the developers were competent and focused on creating an enjoyable playable experience. Sadly I don’t think Ubisoft has any sort of semblance of a brain or backbone to pull of wonders at this stage.
~3. Playing as a character who belongs to a majority group from the region:~
This argument is easily dismantled if you dive into the Assassins Creed Video Games. Revelations had an Italian man in Turkey, Black Flag had a Welsh man in the Caribbean, Valhalla had a Norse/Scandinavian man in England. Now a black man in Japan who is contested to be a samurai is ok so long as he is WRITTEN WELL! (which is not gonna happen).
~4. Sweet Baby Inc is not involved with shit!~
Sweet Baby inc. as you know doesn’t have a good reputation and while they are definitely a problem they are not the problem only symptom of it. The only ‘evidence’ of any collaboration the infamous company has with the project is that they are followed by the AC: shadows lead writer who is arguably a leftist extremist evident by the twitter bio of the she/her pronouns. This is honestly lofty and an uncredible as it is not listed as project they are a part of. While it is easy to look at the state of the triple AAA gaming industry, from property level prices, diminishing quality with the creativity of a dead donkey coupled with how it constantly shoves a neo-Marxist socio-political and ideological agenda down our throats. Sweet Baby is only a fish in this giant tidal wave of turds as they are one of many consultancy groups that would intend to make money off ‘wokeism’. It would be the equivalent of assuming that one producer, director or even writer in Hollywood is ruining our films when we see a trailer for an obviously woke film just because the project’s director follows them on social media or appreciates there. It’s just a bold triggering statement to rile us up and vent our frustrations. If we used deductive reasoning and recalled upon the various events that demonstrate the permeance of wokeism we would realise that the division responsible for helming this bland, bloated, blundering behemoth of beluga shite is Ubisoft Quebec, in Canada.
A country as you know that is notorious for being the most active fighter on the front for the West to push ‘THE MESSAGE’ (as the drinker would say). So considering the tyranny and radical Marxism that Justin Castro has on the country and how powerful his government has been in implementing this agenda in the fabric of Canadian society is it not more logical to say that these Leftists are just creating a project that endorses the values and attitudes that the government propagates? In fact Canada is so instrumental in the pushing this ideological agenda it is the headquarters and base of operations for the DEI-stopia and with their notorious contributions such as adding ‘two spirit’ to the Alphabet acronym, imprisoning individuals for incorrect usage of someone’s pronouns and even your child undergo gender transition therapy without your consent or knowledge. In fact with the way they are going is it any wonder they want to declare war on South Africa for the title of the “Rainbow nation”. Sweet Baby is only getting the treatment they deserve because of their clear hijacking of The Suicide Squad video game which exposed them to collective wrath of the persistent and resilient people on the frontlines defending our escapism from this blatant preposterous political propaganda. After all “bad publicity is still publicity” because the exposure will probably lead to these blood-sucking parasites getting sought after by other delusional dastardly dags who are reluctant to meet their DEI-ly Dose of Woke. This ‘bad press’ only makes them stronger so don’t go blaming them…Save it for Canada.
~5. Historical accuracy and fantasy of real life and going against the game~
Fiction is defined as a type of literature that describes imaginary people and events, not real ones. Now this seems to contradict the idea of History which is essentially about true events that have occurred in our past. Historical Fiction is set in a real place, during a culturally recognizable time. The details and the action in the story can be a mix of actual events and ones from the author's or creators’ imagination as they fill in the gaps. Characters can be pure fiction or based on real people. An essential element of historical fiction is that it is set in the past and pays attention to the manners, social conditions, and other details of the depicted period.
This means that while you have the liberty to be creative in what you conjure like a fiction story as an author and writer you are still bound by a certain level of historical accuracy for immersions sake. Assassin’s Creed 1 most did this by removing the crossbow that was seen in the trailer this value and emphasis on being as historically authentic as possible showed the attention to detail from the developers but sadly as we know was lost in subsequent games. Now historical accuracy regarding the franchise and especially is somewhat tricky to navigate as they have introduced Sci-fi elements as previously stated as well. Additionally the fact that no one has sought to define the parameters that fall under historical accuracy when it comes to the real life events that AC is based on so I will take a stab at it (pun intended). One such creative license is of course having Yasuke being a samurai but if he becomes the Shogun or something ridiculous then yeah there stretching it pal.
Of course, this only applies to the aspects involving human stories and time periods but ultimately how they choose to unravel or progress the story via gaps in the records of reality will of course make it fiction. If historical fiction had to be as reflective of reality as possible then you would be left with a lack of creativity and some pretty big gaps. Assasin’s Creed should be historically accurate in regard to retelling key events and depicting the backdrop that constitutes the time period. Now considering the premise of the franchise is dependent upon the idea of two secret organisations with polarising ideologies founded in ancient times battling and operating in the shadows throughout various historical settings and times to determine the fate of mankind and the world… One could say “Everything is permitted”. Of course that does not mean you simply say “fuck off” to historical accuracy its honestly dependent on how much the writer wants to abide by it and considering that The AC lore is supposed to closely mirror ours in how history unfolds with some Assassin-esque alterations obviously for the greater over arcing story and to not be called a documentary… The series is not trying to be as faithful to the real life lore as the showrunners of Shogun nor are they reaching the biblical accuracy of Ridley Scots Gladiator. If somebody is complaining about historical accuracy of the franchise because it has created expectations to do so since birth then we should ask ourselves what are the ratios of historical accuracy to creative licence. Is it 50 – 50, 70 to 30? If you can say that then you can make your case better at least.
Now if your saying that the lack of adhering to historical accuracy because a lack of it will lead too problematic, revisionism fuelled by a political and ideological agenda… That’s somewhat more of a valid point…Especially with the leaks we have been getting such as the director wanting to put a foreign protagonist because of his inability to understand Japanese culture and society or the latest statement that Yasuke and Naoe will be part of the Alphabet Axis in probably the most politician type answer to hit the gaming press. This is also apparent considering the historian they hired is notoriously getting traction for her work on exploring homosexual relations in Japan from pre-1700’s (most notably “Yaoi”) amongst Buddhists and Boys. If they want to make the characters have romance options with men or woman that’s fine. The problem will be if they portray such relationships as commonplace were like they what they did for Odyssey. It will also be ok to call out the game for such liberty with history if they feature Africans outside of their role’s as servants to the Jesuit’s or in places of prominent power and authority. This of course would be revisionism and the only African person close to ever having the potential to wield more power than his fellow patrons is Yasuke because he was lucky enough to receive the attention of Oda Nobunaga who was probably the most likely the feudal lord in the period to do such a thing. Now while like Cleopatra this is very different. The game doesn’t promote Afro-centric ideas that the Japanese were black, or that the samurai were black so that GI Jane 2 can make her daughter feel better by claiming fact.
Now for those who say “Why do you care it’s fantasy.” Are also missing the point. Just because it is not real doesn’t mean that all logic and rules set for the world can be broken. A good explanation can be found in my paraphrasing and understanding of J.R.R Tolkien’s quote. It goes something along the lines of you only need to suspend your disbelief once. And that is for the world and laws of the universe that govern the fictional world it to exist. You cannot or should not suspend your disbelief a second time to rationalise when the rules established are broken or the possibilities based on inference are non-feasible. In Dragon ball human beings are capable of incredible feats of strength and almost mystical feats if they train hard enough. One such example if being able to run as fast as a moving car which is not innate but earned through discipline.
If it was established that humans were as strong in the franchise as they were in real life and suddenly Krillin (a human) ran as fast as a car or some other ability that was not discussed and it occurred, during a pivotal moment in the story that is not explained and breaks the rules of the established world. Then you cannot rationalise it just for being fiction! There is a literal reason why fiction stories 99% of the time don’t end like “an then a wizard appeared and cast a spell to make everything better or they woke up and realised it was all a dream.” Your goal should be to bend the rules of the established rules but not break it so that you could not plan ahead.
It’s the reason why AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla made fans go… “HEY YO WHAT THE FUCK!” when it added fantastical elements such as mythological creatures, immortality, and other foreign mumbo jumbo. Even when the franchise introduced aliens while arguably still a WTF! Was ultimately the execution of this plot point that resulted in it being less jarring. In other words, the Aliens were still a possibility with some explanation that could integrate into the lore of the universe created. The moment the fantastical and supernatural elements were added in with the recent titles (except Mirage which stayed away from these elements) it failed to follow a process of coherent narrative integration to justify its presence.
~Summary:~
The decision for Ubisoft to make their protagonists a black samurai, Yasuke and female ninja for their upcoming game Assassin's Creed Shadows had the potential to create a compelling and unique narrative that differentiates itself from other historically accurate Samurai Video games through using a degree of creative license that is well known in the series to explore unique perspectives with two obscure historical figures that easily blend into the franchise mythos. However, due to the poor reputation of Ubisoft, the current goal of the entertainment in multi-media enforce politics and inside information regarding the development team, has led to the company’s choice of an African protagonist in feudal Japan to become more controversial than intended which is especially true when he most likely used by Western corporations to promote and push a socio-ideological and political agenda to pander to minorities whilst displaying the most audacious form of hypocrisy of the far left by making an Asian male lead absent in a country he is native and cause outrage on both sides of the political isles.

Now before I start need to at least analyse the criticism of this and unpack the core problem/s. Because it seems like a mixture of multiple gripes and issues tangled together in a tumultuous ball of yarn that has ‘Yasuke’ at the centre. Most because its not like Cleopatra where there black-washing and revising history entirely as of now Now the main issues that seem to be at the core of the problem, surrounding the characters of Assasins Creed Shadows (and not the ridiculous price are the following):
- Yasuke’s status as a real historical figure and a samurai:
- Prioritisation to pander towards one minoirty group over another through not having an East Asian or more specificilly Japanese male protagonist,
- Playing as a charcater who belongs to the ethnic majority of a region the video game is set in
- The involvement of Sweet Baby Inc
- Historical accuracy of real life and going against the game lore + fantasy
~1) Yasuke The Phony:~
Yasuke was indeed a real historical figure but his title of the first Foreign Samurai has been highly contested. This is mostly evident in the few records kept of his service both in Japan and prior to his arrival. We know he was taken from somewhere in Africa (probably east) as a child due to his strength and height.First he was servant brought from India when Alessandro Valignano came to Japan and there were written and artistic sources to confirm this. It is estimated that he served Nobunaga and lived in Japan for three years. Additionally, he was one of many Africans brought to Japan as servants for the Portuguese. Now due to the limited resources and our understanding of both Yasuke and key figures in the time along with some much-needed context the definitive answer to him being samurai is contestable.
Many points of contention from academics and general public can be listed below that point to him not being a samurai:
He wasn’t forced to commit seppuku when both Nobunaga and Nobutada had been killed, samurai had to be born into their class and he was foreigner, he could have not qualified as a samurai as it takes at least five years of extensive training in combat, arts and academics to reach the esteemed rank considering he was only under Nobunaga for one year, he was considered a ‘bushi’ and even if you wore samurai armour you were not part of the class, he was a weapons retainer.
While I personally lean towards the possibility of him being a samurai I am very positive that under Nobunaga’s service he definitely had a role that would have been a bodyguard. For one the Jesuit’s could not employ soldiers in their work so they would use bodyguards instead as a loophole. We do know that Yasuke was briefly in India with Jesuits where he was trained in combat…Also the average height of a samurai around the time were between 5ft 2 and maybe maxing out at 5ft 7 (about 155 – 165cm tall)… Now Yasuke was 182 cm tall (6ft2) so having this tall, muscular man who had inbuilt nighttime camo and mind you described as having the strength of ten men. It would be an idiotic decision too not have him in a combat role or as an intimidation factor when he was said to have the strength of ten men.
Now back to the infamous point of not being forced to commit suicide by sword and rather escorted back to the Jesuit…For starters the Akechi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda forced both Nobunaga and Nobutada to commit seppuku (not done in one sitting but separate incident in the same day). Many say that because Yasuke wasn’t forced to commit seppuku and rather forcibly escorted to a Jesuit mission nearby. Thus he wasn’t a samurai because suicide by sword was the custom when captured. Mitsuhide didn’t consider him a human being but rather sub-human due to being non-Japanese (not because of skin colour which I am aware is indicative of nationality in the time period when immigration was not really a thing but I digress). Similar attitudes and views in regards to foreigners and non-Japanese are also present in Japan. An example can mostly be seen how native Japanese treat foreigners of non-Japanese background in comparison those those with a Japanese heritage. Japanese people will be less harsh towards certain social behaviours that foreigners exhibit because you they were not born or intrenched long enough in the culture or make that assumption due to different appearance. On the other hand, a person of Japanese heritage that was born and raised abroad will have harsher consequences by Japanese society for a lack of adherence to social and cultural norms due to perceived kinship based on appearance alone. They expect them to learn the intricacies and practices of their culture.
It's also worth mentioning that the term samurai did not exist in the Sengoku period to distinguish them and came only 20 years later (around the same time William Adams washed ashore). The term ninja also came into existence much later and that historical records were a lot more comprehensive and abundant during the Edo period. Additionally it has become easy to dismiss the possibility of his ascension to samurai because of the terms ‘weapons bearer’ and incorrectly refer to him as a slave. The man was given a short sword, land, a house and made a member of his vassal (basically a part of his entourage). Diminishing his role would be like the equivalent of disrespecting the grounds keeper of the Whitehouse (not the best comparison) but the point is that even if he was a butler to Oda it was to highly regarded role it was how he was serving. Now this isn’t supposed to conclude that he is definitely a samurai but rather condemn by critiquing a common problem this Yasuke controversy caused…The notion that concluding Yasuke wasn’t a samurai because of absent evidence is equally wrong as too say he was a samurai. In fact people also were said to have been given partial status as samurai but as said earlier the distinction was never made between the levels of warriors until much later. Now although he may have not likely been a samurai he would have at the minimum had a protective semi-combative role rather than a mere slave.
Edit: From further digging apparently historians agree he was highly regarded by Nobunaga and held position as some kind of warrior or combatant. However contention comes from whether or not he was a full fledged samurai or if he was granted some of the privileges making him a half samurai rather than the propagated myth by the deniers saying he was a glorified slave and exotic pet to laud over.

However, due to the poor reputation of Ubisoft, the current goal of the entertainment in multi-media enforce politics and inside information regarding the development team, has led to the company’s choice of an African protagonist in feudal Japan to become more controversial than intended which is especially true when he most likely used by Western corporations to promote and push a socio-ideological and political agenda to pander to minorities whilst displaying the most audacious form of hypocrisy of the far left by making an Asian male lead absent in a country he is native and cause outrage on both sides of the political isles.

Am I wrong for ending a 20 year marraige because I learned my wife cheated on my while we were dating?
My wife (44F) and I (43M) have been married 20 years. We started dating in high school when I was a junior and she was a senior. We were long distance for her first two years of college while I was in high school and did one year at community college, then we went to college in the same city for a year, and have lived together since. We got married the summer after I graduated college. Our marraige has been pretty great so far, but I initated a divorce after I discovered that she was sleeping with multiple other men for the 2 years we were long distance.
Just after Christmas, we got together with a few friends of hers from college to catch up, have dinner, and hang out. We talked about a lot of stuff and my wife mentioned that we met in high school (not that we dated, just that we met). Her old college room commented that it was crazy that we met in high school, had a few wild years in college, then ended up together. I played along and commented that I didn't know if my wife was as crazy as I was. The roomate started to tell a story, but my wife cut her off and said she was uncomfortable about it. I sensed something was up, so I said that we actually started dating in high school and were together for my wife's entire time at college. All of my wives friends got real quiet and the rest of the dinner was awkward. On the way out, one of her other roomates took me aside and said I should have "an honest conversation" about what happened at college.
I asked my wife on the way home and she kind of blew me off. I told her it was important that she was honest with me and again she said it wasn't important. When we got home, I told her I was going to stay at my brother's house until she was ready to talk about what happened in college. The next day she came over and admitted to sleepting with "several" men during her first two years at college. She said she didn't consider it a big deal at the time because we were long distance and she didn't think a high school romance would last. I pressed for more details and she said it was at least 10 different men including at least 3 guys she introduced to me as friends when I came to visit on weekends and 1 guy she was still in contact with. I told her that I wanted a divorce and would be starting the paperwork as soon as I could (which I did on January 2nd).
Her family and most of my family is telling me I shouldn't throw away my marriage over a few mistakes. I've stood by my belief that cheating on me with multiple men for years is unacceptable no matter when it happened and the fact that she continued to maintain relationships with these guys right in front of me was an unacceptable amount of disrespect. We have two children, but they are 17 and 19 and I believe they will understand why I need to end the marraige. Am I wrong for leaving? I feel like I'm going crazy with the amount of people telling me to over look years of infidelty and decades of lies.
EDIT: Holy shit I'm glad I did this with a throwaway because the response here is unexpected.
I obviously can't answer every question/comment, but I wanted to provide some detail for common questions.

[UPDATE] Am I wrong for ending a 20 year marriage because I learned my wife cheated on my while we were dating?
Link to previous post removed.
I wanted to provide some updates here as my original post got a lot of traction.
TL;DR version: My wife and I are seeing a couples counselor and have been to 3 sessions now. Based on what my original post outlined, and what we've talked about in counseling, I'm still moving forward with the divorce. I believe that counseling was the right move, and I appreciate folks for recommending it. I don't think it's going to save our marriage, but it has helped me communicate my feelings, helped my wife understand where I'm coming from, and most importantly helped us be in a position to work together as co-parents.
First, let's talk about the things I learned about the situation in college. After talking to my wife in sessions and texting with two of her roommates, it's clear that her roommates knew something was up in college. They said they though the situation was weird and likely involved cheating. My wife had told them that we both had some wild times in college and worked it out before we got married, so they never really brought it up. The roommate who pulled me aside recently was uncomfortable with the fact that my wife clearly didn't talk it through with me, and wanted me to know.
As far as being introduced to guys she slept with, apparently that was not intended. For one of the guys, he ended up dating and then marrying one of our mutual friends from college. This is the guy she was in contact with. In the other situations, she initially blamed me in the counseling session, but has now agreed it was bad. When I went to visit her, she planned to hang out in the room or just hang out together alone, but I wanted to go to a few parties because in HS and community college, I didn't really have parties to go to. She didn't expect me to meet the guys, but they were at the parties and she felt she didn't really have a choice. I still think this is kind of shitty, but it's not as bad as her intentionally parading me infront of the guys.
Most of our discussion in therapy has been talking about why I think it's a big deal and she doesn't. She initially said that none of these guys were in relationships with her and it was mostly one night stands or FWB. Since she didn't view them as romantic relationships, she didn't see the big deal (her words not mine). My opinion is that we never said that was ok and she actively prevented me from doing the same. After digging into this across two sessions, and my wife talking to some friends, she now agrees that it was a breach of our trust/relationship. This is the shared understanding that has helped us talk about this situation more honestly and helped us get from arguing to talking (which is why I'm optimistic about co-parenting).
Now, here's why I'm 100% set on divorce. Two things came up that make me want to leave the marriage. First, about 10 years ago we went through a really rough patch and had a dead bedroom for about 2 years. She had expressed that our sex life was becoming boring, so I tried to spice things up (nothing crazy, just roleplay and like spencers gift level sex toys). Apparently, she had been hung up some sexual experiences that happened in college (that she is not comfortable talking about) and wanted me to try them, but when I did it made her feel awkward and guilty that it made her think of other men while she was with me. The fact that she's saying these experiences were meaningless, but they're still impacting our marriage tells me they meant more than she wants to say. Second, she admitted that she has been flirting with coworkers on business trips since the pandemic ended. She says she has never slept with anybody, but it got as far as going on a date with one of her male coworkers. That was the absolute dealbreaker for me.
We have told our children that we're getting a divorce. We told them it was due to some bad decisions that we made in college that we're having trouble moving past. My 19 year old (who is in college) asked me if I cheated on my wife while she was away at college. My wife got a little shaken up, but admitted to the kids that she's the one who cheated. We have agreed to not share any additional details with the kids. I reenforced that both us will be there for the kids and that we are in therapy to help make sure we handle this in the best way for the family. I also told the kids that if they wanted to talk to either of us or a therapist about it, that I would fully support it.
We've started talking to a mediator about how to proceed with the divorce, and unless things change, we should be able to have an amicable divorce. We're both financially stable on our own, we have no major debts, and our kids are older, so custody isn't a major issue. This has been a shitty couple of months for me, but I'm doing ok now and I honestly am grateful that my last post blew up because it both validated some of my feelings, but also motivated me to go to counseling with my wife.
**New Update*\*
Final Update - 3.5 months later
Hey all, this is likely the final update on this account as things have mostly resolved.
My wife and I have completed our divorce and everything is official. We had an uncontested, amicable divorce with minimal disagreements. Our lawyers worked together to create the plan through mediation and a judge signed off on it a few weeks ago. In the end, the actual divorce process was pretty straight forward. The only complication was that our 17 year old was adamant about my having custody because their relationship with my ex-wife has really fallen apart as a result of this.
Initially my wife dug in her heals and was ready to give up on the uncontested marriage, but my son pretty much told her she could choose between letting him have a break for a few months to process and rebuild, or force him to live with her until he turns 18 and risk never seeing him again. I felt this was a bit harsh, but my wife backed down and we moved forward with my having primary physical custody until my son's birthday later this year. For my part, I have encouraged my son to be open to fixing things as the actions my ex took before he was born didn't change the 17 years she cared for and loved him. Fortunately, as the divorce moved forward he has been spending more time with my ex and I'm optimistic they will work through this.
In the end, we pretty much split our retirement and investments 50/50. For our house, my wife really liked the house and I didn't, so she kept the house and most of the furnishings and took out a mortgage to pay me back half of the equity and half of the estimated replacement value of the furniture. Pretty much all of our other stuff was either easy to split (my car and her car, my music gear and her hobbies, clothing, personal effects, etc) or we just agreed to sell it and split the resulting profit. Things were a bit easier for us because we had already documented most of our valuable items and electronics for an insurance rider we added to our home insurance a few years ago.
Things have been going well for me personally. Both of the kids spend most of their time at my place and we are still very close, which was my biggest fear in the divorce. I have a new house that I really love and I gave into the mid-life crisis urge and traded in my outdated minivan for a Lexus LC550. I even had a woman at work (not a close coworker) invite me out to a coffee date. While I was up front with her that I'm not ready to date just yet, she said she would be happy to take a rain check and would be happy to go out with me when I'm ready. I'm honestly thrilled because she's really smart, has a great sense of humor, and our positions at work are far enough apart that we don't really work directly with each other at all.
My ex and I are continuing to go through couples counseling together. We have transitioned into having closure on our marriage and making sure we maintain our relationship enough to be effective coparents. While these sessions have been great to help me process things and keep things as healthy/positive as possible given the circumstances, it has also reenforced that divorce was the right option. It's clear from some answers in the sessions that my wife immediately started dating once the divorce process started, so whatever love was there was clearly on the way out already. I'm pretty sure the coworker she was "just friends" with dropped her off at our recent session. The fact that it doesn't even really make me mad is a good sign that I was also probably done with the marriage.
In the end, it will take a long time for me to heal from the betrayal, but I feel like I'm making good progress and I can honestly say that the divorce was unquestionably the right decision. I've probably cried more in the last 4 months than I have in the last 20 years, but for the last month or so I fell genuinely good about myself for the first time in a long time. I'm enjoying having my own life, been busy getting my 17 year old ready for college in the fall and looking forward to a coffee date with a smart, funny woman in a month or two.

Hang in there man, I’ve been following your story (first time commenter lol) but you’ve totally done the right thing, by yourself and your son.
Give yourself grace as you continue to process but as you said, you 100% did the right thing.
And hey, good for you for having what sounds like a lovely woman waiting for you. If anything, that proves you’re not only a good person, but others recognize you’d be a catch of a partner.
Keep living life, you’ll have loads of ups and downs but clearly you’re smart, capable, and strong. You and your son will come out alright, time is a great healer.

Am I wrong for ending a 20 year marraige because I learned my wife cheated on my while we were dating?
My wife (44F) and I (43M) have been married 20 years. We started dating in high school when I was a junior and she was a senior. We were long distance for her first two years of college while I was in high school and did one year at community college, then we went to college in the same city for a year, and have lived together since.

I feel like I'm going crazy with the amount of people telling me to over look years of infidelty and decades of lies.
EDIT: Holy shit I'm glad I did this with a throwaway because the response here is unexpected.
I obviously can't answer every question/comment, but I wanted to provide some detail for common questions.
- The reason I posted this is that my wife and a few friends have been saying it's common to sleep with other folks when you're in an long distance relationship and that I'm kind of the odd one out for not sleeping around. I felt like I was being gaslit, but I wanted an outside perspective. We live in a state with a waiting period to finalize a divorce, so I felt it was a reasonable idea to get some insight before things are finalized. After these comments, I see a handful of folks saying it's normal to sleep around during a long distance relationship, but it seems to be a significant minority.
- We saw each other a couple of weekends a month during the two year college period. I lived about 3 hours away from her college, so it was long distance but not like cross country. This was not a situation where we went months without seeing each other.
- The 3 guys I met while she was in college were meetups that happened during parties. The subject of me being a boyfriend didn't really come up, so I honestly don't know if these guys knew anything.
- The one guy we're still in contact with married a mutual friend from college. This is not some guy she secretly messages on the side, it's somebody we've talked to regularly for years. I've talked to him a few times since I've learned about my wife. He's said he didn't know we were dating at the time and has since blocked my wife on social media.
- Some folks have asked how the roomates didn't realize at our wedding that the timelines didn't work out. The main reason is that my wife and I had a very small ceremony with just close family in Texas, then went back to the East Coast to have a big party with friends. The typical reception/sharing details about how we met stuff didn't really happen, so her roomates didn't realize we started dating before college. It sounds like they thought we only dated for the year we were both in the same city, then moved in together.
- I was open to therapy or some kind of attempt to save the marraige, but her insistence that this whole thing is common and I'm the one who's out of line is just too much for me. The only time she showed any remorse or even offerred to reconsile is when I started filing paper work. In the last week she's gone back to saying she's right and I'm overreacting. This is also why I feeling like I'm being gaslit. It seems obvious that this is a major issue, but I've got my wife and others telling me it's normal and I'm overreacting.
- I'm not getting a paternity test unless my kids want to get one. I don't have any doubts that they are biologically mine, and no test will make them not my kids. I love them more than anything in the world and my wife's infidelity won't change that even if one or both of them is not biologically mine. They've been my kids for 19 years and they will be my kids until I stop breathing.
- We were definitely exclusively dating at the time. First, dating culture was a lot different 20ish years ago and exclusive was kind of the default for most people. Second, we had a long and difficult discussion before she left for college about continuing the relationship long distance. She specifically wanted to stay together and even joked about her dad coming after me if I started sleeping around with girls at my school. Finally, at my senior prom, she was not able to attend and was very upset when I proposed going with a platonnic female friend of mine. As a result I ended up skipping my prom and hanging out with her instead. While we never said the word exclusive, I think the above reasons, combined with the general relationship before she left, are enough to assume exclusivity.
- Based on some comments here, I followed up with the friend that said I should have an honest conversation. She told me that "10 guys would be on the low end" and that her biggest concern was that there was apparently at least one pregnancy scare that I didn't know about. I honestly don't think that really changes much. It's less about the number for me and more about the fact that she seems incapable of recognizing why this was wrong or why I feel betrayed.

It would change a lot if I felt that she wanted to fix this. Throughout our conversation about it, she repeatedly dismissed my feelings and told me I was overreacting to "totally normal behavior". She didn't show any regret or consideration for how it hurt me until she realized I was serious about divorce, then she got defensive and angry. She didn't offer to fix things in any way until I started the paper work and notified her that I had a lawyer.OOP on his children
I think we can navigate being parents. Our kids are older and I've been putting away money for college/post high school for a long time, so a lot of the custody and monetary issues that come up shouldn't be a big problem. We're also both financially stable and make good money.
I have some doubts about our marraige now, but those are my kids. My son looks like my younger clone and my daughter also bears a huge familial resemblance.OOP
I will be honest, even if a DNA test showed zero chance they were mine, I would never ever say a damn thing about it and I would still love them every ounce as much,
I've hired a lawyer, he drafted an intent to seperate, and sent her a copy certified mail. As far as I know, that's not any legal divorce paper with the state, but rather a part of the process to ensure that she as an opportunity to hire her own lawyer if she wants to contest it.There is no judgement on amiwrong but the consensus of the comment section was that he was not wrong.
Actually going through the divorce will likely take months.
I'm not really moved out. I've been crashing at my brother's place while I make arrangements for a more permentant living scenario.
As far as timing goes, the dinner happend on the 26th. I went to my brother's house that night to cool off and give her a chance to think about things. We talked several times over the course of 4-5 days and she made it clear that she didnt' believe she didn't anything wrong. If there was any kind of remorse/regret/basic consideration of my feelings on her part, I probably would have waited. However, she didn't so I found a divorce lawyer and he had boilerplate intent to seperate agreements that we filled out and sent over the same day.
Even now, we're obviously not legally divorced and I don't even know if there is a legal concept of seperation in my state, but I've made it clear this is happening and started the process.

My 19 year old (who is in college) asked me if I cheated on my wife while she was away at college. My wife got a little shaken up, but admitted to the kids that she's the one who cheated. We have agreed to not share any additional details with the kids. I reenforced that both us will be there for the kids and that we are in therapy to help make sure we handle this in the best way for the family. I also told the kids that if they wanted to talk to either of us or a therapist about it, that I would fully support it.
We've started talking to a mediator about how to proceed with the divorce, and unless things change, we should be able to have an amicable divorce. We're both financially stable on our own, we have no major debts, and our kids are older, so custody isn't a major issue. This has been a shitty couple of months for me, but I'm doing ok now and I honestly am grateful that my last post blew up because it both validated some of my feelings, but also motivated me to go to counseling with my wife.
**New Update*\*
Final Update - 3.5 months later
Hey all, this is likely the final update on this account as things have mostly resolved.
My wife and I have completed our divorce and everything is official. We had an uncontested, amicable divorce with minimal disagreements. Our lawyers worked together to create the plan through mediation and a judge signed off on it a few weeks ago. In the end, the actual divorce process was pretty straight forward. The only complication was that our 17 year old was adamant about my having custody because their relationship with my ex-wife has really fallen apart as a result of this.
Initially my wife dug in her heals and was ready to give up on the uncontested marriage, but my son pretty much told her she could choose between letting him have a break for a few months to process and rebuild, or force him to live with her until he turns 18 and risk never seeing him again. I felt this was a bit harsh, but my wife backed down and we moved forward with my having primary physical custody until my son's birthday later this year. For my part, I have encouraged my son to be open to fixing things as the actions my ex took before he was born didn't change the 17 years she cared for and loved him. Fortunately, as the divorce moved forward he has been spending more time with my ex and I'm optimistic they will work through this.
In the end, we pretty much split our retirement and investments 50/50. For our house, my wife really liked the house and I didn't, so she kept the house and most of the furnishings and took out a mortgage to pay me back half of the equity and half of the estimated replacement value of the furniture. Pretty much all of our other stuff was either easy to split (my car and her car, my music gear and her hobbies, clothing, personal effects, etc) or we just agreed to sell it and split the resulting profit. Things were a bit easier for us because we had already documented most of our valuable items and electronics for an insurance rider we added to our home insurance a few years ago.
Things have been going well for me personally. Both of the kids spend most of their time at my place and we are still very close, which was my biggest fear in the divorce. I have a new house that I really love and I gave into the mid-life crisis urge and traded in my outdated minivan for a Lexus LC550. I even had a woman at work (not a close coworker) invite me out to a coffee date. While I was up front with her that I'm not ready to date just yet, she said she would be happy to take a rain check and would be happy to go out with me when I'm ready. I'm honestly thrilled because she's really smart, has a great sense of humor, and our positions at work are far enough apart that we don't really work directly with each other at all.
My ex and I are continuing to go through couples counseling together. We have transitioned into having closure on our marriage and making sure we maintain our relationship enough to be effective coparents. While these sessions have been great to help me process things and keep things as healthy/positive as possible given the circumstances, it has also reenforced that divorce was the right option. It's clear from some answers in the sessions that my wife immediately started dating once the divorce process started, so whatever love was there was clearly on the way out already. I'm pretty sure the coworker she was "just friends" with dropped her off at our recent session. The fact that it doesn't even really make me mad is a good sign that I was also probably done with the marriage.
In the end, it will take a long time for me to heal from the betrayal, but I feel like I'm making good progress and I can honestly say that the divorce was unquestionably the right decision. I've probably cried more in the last 4 months than I have in the last 20 years, but for the last month or so I fell genuinely good about myself for the first time in a long time. I'm enjoying having my own life, been busy getting my 17 year old ready for college in the fall and looking forward to a coffee date with a smart, funny woman in a month or two.

Hang in there man, I’ve been following your story (first time commenter lol) but you’ve totally done the right thing, by yourself and your son.
Give yourself grace as you continue to process but as you said, you 100% did the right thing.
And hey, good for you for having what sounds like a lovely woman waiting for you. If anything, that proves you’re not only a good person, but others recognize you’d be a catch of a partner.
Keep living life, you’ll have loads of ups and downs but clearly you’re smart, capable, and strong. You and your son will come out alright, time is a great healer.
Reminder: I am not OOP. Do not harass OOP.
2024.05.23 14:45 MinzInteria There seems to be a ghost in my apartment but he is actually pretty chill?
Call me delulu or whatever but there really is something here.
My family lives in a large house in a village in Germany. I live in the attic, which has been converted into an apartment. My own apartment, in other words. One floor above my parents. However, since we have such a large family, we need storage space. That's why there's a small, waist-high door in my apartment leading to the 'new attic.' It's just a part of the old attic that wasn't converted. I have a brother who lived in this apartment before me, but he has since moved out. I also have a sister who no longer lives in the house. My apartment is not big — one bedroom, a small bathroom, and a room that serves as both a kitchen and a workspace. But what I do have is a small rooftop terrace. It's almost smaller than the bathroom, but it's there and I love it. These details are important for understanding the rest of my story.
I am a relatively introverted young man (21 years old) and I have many health problems. I have an incredible number of allergies and intolerances and, for example, have had problems for years reaching a healthy weight that I would be happy with.
I have been living in the apartment above my parents for about 2.5 years now. First of all, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, and I certainly don't do drugs. I read a lot, study film studies (my major) from home through a distance university, watch TV series, and walk my dog. That was pretty much my daily routine; I didn't do much more than that.
It started about a year ago when really strange things began happening here.
I think it began with a strange smell. As I mentioned, I don't smoke, but I recognize the smell of cigarettes and also weed. Occasionally, I would come home, and it would reek of cigarettes. I thought it was nothing unusual, considering my parents are chain smokers. But they know how I feel about it and only smoke outside out of respect for me. We have a very good relationship, and I know they would NEVER smoke in my apartment. However, the smell became more frequent. Then I thought I might have an electrical fire somewhere or something like that. I had no idea. But I found nothing, even though I searched everywhere. Eventually, it started smelling like weed, too. Not as often as cigarettes, but it was definitely weed. I think my ghost realized that I didn't like the smell. Because then it stopped. At least indoors. Since then, every other day or so, my rooftop terrace smells like cigarettes. As if the smoke is still in the air and the cigarettes were just put out. What started next was a deodorant smell. Not even my deodorant, mine smells different. But it was definitely a men's deodorant.
Then everything happened very quickly. These things didn't happen one after another, but rather occasionally amidst my daily routine. So, it's not like I only experience moments like these.
Certain food items started disappearing. For example, the mayonnaise. I share the fridge with my parents because it doesn't make sense to buy a fridge just for me right now in that part of my life when my parents have a huge one a floor below. My mother suggested that maybe I hadn't bought any mayonnaise and just thought I did. But I was sure I had bought it. And everyone here hates mayonnaise except for me, so no one else would touch it. The next day, I found the mayonnaise in my apartment, in one of my cabinets. Not in my parents' fridge where it should have been. My turkey slices also disappeared, and that really creeped me out. I found the empty package in the attic. Not in my apartment, but behind that small door. I store my summer clothes in there during the winter, and when I went to get a shirt, there was the empty package. I thought maybe my dog got to it, but how on earth would he manage to open both the fridge and the attic door? Then I thought maybe I was sleepwalking. My parents' bedroom is directly below my apartment, and my father is a very light sleeper. He hears every time I go to the bathroom at night because the floor is so old and creaky. I used to sleepwalk, but that was years ago, and he said he hadn't heard anything. So, it couldn't have been that either.
At night, on two occasions, I heard knocking. Not a light knock. It was really loud and very rhythmic, as if it were following a beat. The second time, my father, one floor below, even heard it and thought it was me. I thought I was imagining it, but even my father heard it? I mentioned at the dinner table how much it scared me, and since then, it never happened again.
My dog is really scared of thunderstorms. But for some reason, whenever there's a thunderstorm, he always wants to come into my apartment. The one directly under the roof, where the thunder is even louder through the skylights. I thought maybe he wants to come up because of me, because he feels safe with me, but apparently not only that. He even wants to go up there when I'm not there and standing right next to him in my parents' apartment. It's as if there's something or someone up there that he feels even safer with than with me.
In the evenings, I still like to watch some series. I lie in bed and turn on Netflix, for example. Often, I had the feeling that my arm was being touched. Not really touched. I don't know how to explain it better, but it was like a balloon was passing over my arm hairs.
What really convinced me that I have a ghost was another incident. I was lying in bed as usual, getting ready to watch a DVD this time. I have a Fire TV Stick, so I have a separate remote for Netflix, etc. I had to switch remotes for the DVD player. But it seems the ghost wasn't up for the movie. About fifteen minutes into the film, I received a purchase confirmation mail from Amazon Prime on my phone. It said I had subscribed to Prime for a month. Totally freaked out, I naturally thought I'd been hacked. I changed my password and everything. Then I remembered the Fire TV Stick. You can use the second remote to select things even when you're not actively using the Fire Stick on the TV. So, I switched to the Fire Stick and saw that the subscription was indeed purchased from there. Just now. And the selection was on the movie Creed. I didn't find it too tragic, considering I was planning to get Prime for the movie Saltburn two days later anyway, but it was still intense. I saw it as a sign, asked into the void, 'Do you want to watch Creed?' and, of course, got no answer. Still, I watched it. Now, I need to explain a bit. My phone has a 'sleep mode.' After 11 PM, it goes into an 'sleeping mode,' where, for example, no one can call me except for my parents for example. That's because I have this irrational fear of falling asleep on my phone and accidentally calling someone because I'm lying on my phone. That would be my worst nightmare. So, that's why I use the sleep mode. But Creed went past 11 PM, and because I still wanted to be on my phone, I disabled the sleep mode with the plan to turn it back on after the movie. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic and checked my phone to see if I had called anyone accidentaly. After all, I hadn't turned the sleep mode back on. Only, the sleep mode was on. But I didn't put it on. And after 11 PM, you can only activate it manually. I am firmly convinced that my ghost activated the sleep mode, perhaps as a thank you for watching Creed. And since then, I haven't even been touched on the arm while watching something else. I somehow made friends with him?
The ghost also seemed to be interested in me and my hobbies. As I mentioned, I read a lot and, for example, have all the previous books of the Game of Thrones series on my shelf. One day, parts 3 and 4 were swapped, and part 3 was slightly pushed out of the shelf. He must have taken it out, wanted to read it, or even did and then put it back incorrectly. That same evening, we started a rewatch of Game of Thrones; I thought he might like it but I don't know how he felt.
These days, I love sports, and I've already lost a lot of weight. I'm well on my way to finally having a body I feel comfortable in. But it wasn't always like this. I started with Just Dance, and eventually, I found my brother's old dumbbells, and since then, things have been going uphill. I train every day and enjoy it. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm being watched while doing it. Not in a creepy way, more in a supportive way. As if someone is subtly cheering me on, if that makes sense. He seems to really like sports and fitness, I can imagine, he was a little gym rat himself?
Like I said, I'm very introverted. I don't often express my opinion, even when it would help me. You know that meme where an introverted person is in a relationship with an extrovert and then complains on their behalf about getting the wrong food? It was kind of like that for me. One Sunday, I was out to eat with my family, and I got the wrong order. The old me would never have said anything and just eaten it, as long as it wasn't dangerous due to my allergies. But I spoke up. Politely, but firmly. And despite my allergies, I would have been perfectly fine with it. I don't know if this boost in confidence comes from exercising, but I also have this quiet feeling that my ghost helped me finally speak up. It's like I needed a spark to get going.
It seems my brother also experienced some events when he lived in this apartment. For example, someone would always turn on his bathroom light. That might sound normal, but he NEVER turns on the bathroom light. Seriously. He even pees at night without turning on the light. But someone found it really funny to occasionally turn on the bathroom light. I think he doesn't like my brother so much. Or maybe he just likes playing pranks in general, but for some reason not on me, and I'm relatively grateful for that.
My sister also had something, although less noticeable. But in context, it makes sense. Although she never lived in this apartment, her room back then was my parents' current bedroom. So, directly below my apartment. She told me once the stereo of my brother started playing rock music above her. It was super loud, so she went to the apartment door and knocked, telling my brother to turn it down abit. And he did. Only, it turned out that my brother wasn't even there that afternoon.
And then there is my girlfriend. She lives a few citiys away but every time she is in my apartment, she feels being watched. That's why we are basically never up there when she is visiting. Oddly enough, I never feel that except when I am training or my girlfriend is here.
Very few people know about this story; most would think I'm crazy. I never really wanted to share it online because I didn't know if the ghost would want that. But this morning, I woke up and somehow knew it would be okay. As if he has given me his okay. I really feel like I am loosing my mind but I can not find any other explanation, especially for Prime and the thing with the turkey slices. And here is the thing, I am a big fan of a ghost tv series so I think my mind projectorates from that. Mabye it is not a ghost but there IS something.
I really would like to know its name, but I really don't know how I'm supposed to find that out. However, I hope, he knows that he is always welcome here and is very welcome to stay. Even though it is quite a scary thought to have some kind of a ghost buddy.

TikTok
Positives: - fun to post, people see it - find some fun creators
Negatives: -WHYS IT ALL THE SAME???same sound or trend for a monthf ROM everyone - talking about a serious topic using the most unserious words coz sensors. - Please stop suggesting I listen to my ex bullys dreadful singing I thought I escaped when I didn't have to go to another talent contest.
Facebook
Positives: - actually social I keep up with friends and family - pretty good place to find companies and things like that - Facebook groups are wild, there's one for everything, and every single one has hilarious moments - Great for getting info about local issues like road closures or missing pets/people
Negatives: - Tells people when you comment on something? Like why does my mum need to know what I said to someone else? Why do I need to know Suzy was thirsting on some celebs posts? - Hard to be seen when posting there - Mainly populated by older folks.

2024.05.23 12:06 Tasty-Trick-7117 From a Lie To Redemption: Minsha and Zarsha's Story
Minsha was the only nerd in a school of spoiled elite kids. He was considered nothing more than a bookworm with zero friends and no social status. One day at a club, the most popular school group was having fun playing truth or dare when out of nowhere Ayish challenged Zarsha (the beauty pageant winner of the squad) to date Minsha. They wanted revenge on him for reporting them for cheating in exams. She confidently took the dare since it was nothing new among them; they usually dared each other to fool students at school.
The very next morning, Zarsha acted on the plan and went straight to Minsha, asking for his physics notes. He quietly handed them over to her. The same evening, she again went to Minsha and asked him to give her some basic physics classes for the exams coming next week. He reluctantly agreed because he knew that interacting with this squad brought nothing but trouble. He asked her to meet him tomorrow at the school library after the math class. Zarsha nodded and returned to her squad, who were waiting for her in the hallway. She told them the news like a victory, having succeeded in fooling the enemy.
The next day, Minsha started teaching her. At first, she showed no interest in studying and always talked about fashion brands and cars. She was nothing more than a dumb, rich, and self-absorbed person. But after some time, Zarsha realized that she was enjoying talking to Minsha and taking his class, and deep down she also started admiring him. He was nothing like the people around her who valued nothing but the price tags of her stuff and her bank balance. She realized that although she had always seen him as an introvert and nerd, he was very funny, interesting, caring, and talkative. But he only opened up to people he knew.
On the last day before the physics exams, Minsha was quietly handing the final notes to Zarsha when Zarsha suddenly kneeled and confessed her love to Minsha. Minsha’s heart stopped pounding; he quickly started gathering his stuff and dashed out of the library. What happens next, Will Minsha accept Zarsha's proposal, or their love will remain separated by the class barriers?
