Let me tell you a little secret

I judge whether I will speak on a verse on a number of criteria- nothing hard-set, purely vibes.

If it is less-known, that bumps it up in my estimations. I'd rather work on something less-known than Minecraft or Marvel.

The exception to the above is anime or other weeb-content. I find that the more obscure it is, most often it becomes less agreeable to me.

But if you have like a novel you need eyes on, shit brother, send it my way.

if you send too much I may start ignoring you, however, sorry

Unfortunately it is weeb shit, It's Tokyo Ghoul. I thought it would gain more traction because in my head Tokyo Ghoul is a mainstream series but like 4 people have commented in the month its been up. It's a really simple calc change as well which even non-calc members would be able to look at and understand. This is it if you wanna comment. https://vsbattles.com/threads/tokyo-ghoul-8-b-calculation-update.164380/

I thought Tokyo Ghoul was popular, too

I may deign to speak on it, really tend to avoid weeb stuff where I can but I do pity the victims of bureaucracy

anything that's good

(I'll engage in sci-fi, modern, fantasy, horror, whatever- I just really don't ******' like anime, and wouldn't normally gravitate towards capeshit, either. Fantasy would be my favorite, for sure)

the mod work payload would be a lot smaller if people understood everything from the get-go smh

Real.

It's either you babble short stuff that knowledgeable people would understand but mods don't

Or you babble wall of text to explain everything and any mod would be overwhelmed from it and wouldn't bother reading and evaluating

I'm getting real sick of DT's pages. They call him 007 - 0 scans, 0 references, 7 hundred paragraphs in the NA&T section.

To change your pfp you can click on your name on the top right of the screen and click on where your current profile picture is to change it. To change your banner you click the blue "edit profile banner" button on your profile's wall.

Thanks! I was looking forever on where the edit pfp section was in settings but I guess I never hovered my cursor over the pfp itself, kicking myself in the butt rn.

Definitely (even i'm a victim of this at times), even though it depends on what the context is about.

I think it also depends on how it’s approached. Like, I’ve seen cases of people (for a lack of better phrasing) “taking the piss” with downgrade threads they make and treating them as some sort of victory. I feel it’s a lot more nuanced than just “people don’t like downgrades/upgrades” at times

Usually the reason why people hate downgrades is because they work so damn hard to research the characters and trying as hard as they can to make it as accurate as possible. And you get the feeling that other people just wants to mess everything up.

I mean yeah, that’s how it is at times, though other times it is legitimately just that they want higher ratings. Either way it results in a very “us vs. them” mentality

Current pet peeve: People taking this stuff way too seriously. Like, did we forget that power scaling is a hobby? Not worth all the insults, accusations, bad faith, etc.
Click to expand...
There's a quote from a Terry Pratchett book that I don't remember perfectly that basically describes people passionate about niche hobbies (I think it was bird classification, in the book?), and has the main character consider this for a moment, and come to the conclusion that people need to be in control of something in their lives- they're in control of so little around them, but they can certainly make sure this singular bit of the world is matching their standards, or die fighting on that hill against the bastards who want to do something foolish like classify Toucans as Flamingoes.

I think about this sometimes when I look at VSBW, where people vehemently argue about the least important shit I've ever seen, and it makes me forgive them for the pettiness of it all. You have so little in this world, you may as well have a profile with the right damn statistics.

the upgraders should all be flogged, however
