This guy.

He's had parties where underage sex and drinking happened. Jisu, the first person who accused Zero was living there at 15.

This girl was apparently Zero's room mate at the time.

Sky says he never knew about any of these things, and I no long believe him.

the rabbit hole never ends

What are we discussing?

more people being outed, which is a shame

All fine then man. Sometimes it's hard to read the tone in a text, or get the full meaning behind those words. Add sarcasm to the mix and it can get confusing.

Been a while since I’ve switched my profile pic up.

Glad you did! Aerith looks amazing, even with glasses! They add an extra touch to her

it was super dumb of me to think it ended with 111 allegations.

She was my least favorite character in the original but the remake has made me so a complete 180 on her.

I wonder why? I didn't play the game yet, so I cdon't wanna take in any spoilers Is it because of her design? Or behaviour?
Would be cool if you just replied in a very tame matter, without revealing anything concerning the story. I heard the game is quite a bit different from what we know from the original.

 

[TheMightyP]

I'm with Swamp Sensei on that one: Sky Williams needs to be investigated. Man's house is pratically Epstein's Island for Smash players, and yet, he didn't know about ANY of the many allegations that involved his house?

Miss me with that BS.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Getting through Yoshi's Woolly World. And this game is so much slower then Yoshi's Island that it takes away from the fun.

Mainly her personality just feels much more dynamic and defined in the remake.

 

[SneakyLink]

I have no idea why, but I watched Monsters Vs Aliens.

It's a movie that exists.

Huh, I don’t know how far you are in but I never noticed it being that slower. Maybe it’s because the screen is zoomed out a bit more?

Bro you keep comparing him to Epstein he gonna end up like Epstein before we can figure it out.

I'm on World 4. And it's mainly the aiming cursor.

It has a pretty fun voice cast at least.

Sorry to jump in like this but please send a prayer or a thought to the people of Japan. The southern island of Kyushu is experiencing torrential rain and flooding, in particular, the prefectures of Kumamoto and Kagoshima.

https://www.google.co.jp/amp/s/www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200704_05/amp.html

My wife is from Kumamoto and I lived there for six years before taking up a new job closer to Tokyo. My in-laws are safe for now as they more north and have been spared from this flooding but we lived south (right in the path of this storm). I’ve been reaching out to my old friends and few have been reporting in but others, especially my more elderly friends, haven’t yet so I worry for them. Especially with evacuation efforts and COVID19.

They are saying this is a once in a decade deluge and the worse has yet to be seen. Sadly, Kumamoto suffered from earthquakes in 2016 from a period of April to August that destroyed large portions of the prefecture including greatly damaging my in-laws house.

I know the community is reeling from allegations and scandals but please spare a thought for those living there.

That’s a lot to be going through, I hope everyone there can stay safe from the weather and COVID.

Are you on Woolly World or Crafted World?

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Okay seriously...

There's one place that keeps showing up.

Sky William's house.

For some reason, minors always seem to be there unsupervised. These incidents keep happening there.

What the **** is going on there?

Speaking of, Zero released an updated statement 10 minutes ago expressing all of the different points. Still reading it over.

 

[360°]

Hm that goes for pretty much all the characters too, no ? WIth the updated graphics and cutscenes, it's much easier to portray personality than with the block graphics.

Woolly. On 3DS.

 

[Wademan94]

Woolly. On 3DS.

So I guess the screen can’t be used as an excuse then...

 

[Zinith]

Woolly. On 3DS.

Oooo, I don't have that version, so I can't tell you if it's slower than the Wii U version. I'd imagine it is though...

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Just ordered Lollipop Chainsaw, Wonderful 101 Remastered, Nier: Automata, and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. And thanks to a promo Gamestop is running, I also got Uncharted 4 for free!

So I guess the screen can’t be used as an excuse then...

I think I may have used a weird gameplay setting. Let me try setting the cursor to hasty.

 

[Wademan94]

I mean there’s also the dialogue, which is also a huge improvement.

That should be tatooed somewhere on your body for whenever you play a Yoshi game. "Set Cursor to Hasty"

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Twitter. Go look at @zerowondering.
Still reading it a 2nd time and figuring out my full opinion.

When I was 13-14 years old, which was 10 years ago, my parents wouldn't let me have internet friends. They were so paranoid that someone might take advantage of me and convince me to sneak away to do something with them that being on a forum like this or in some kind of chatroom was terrifying to them.

So it absolutely blows my goddamn mind that so many children were somehow given permission to go stay in hotel rooms or houses with adults who were complete strangers with no personal relation to the family at all. And the stories that are coming out are precisely why you never, ever do that. It's too big a risk to take.

Granted, people you know very well can always turn out to be abusers, too (and, if I recall correctly, that is indeed statistically more likely). But generally, family members are more trustworthy, than, you know, complete strangers who could be complete maniacs.

People, when you become parents, watch after your children. It's difficult, but it's your responsibility as a parent to always put your child's wellbeing above all else. There's no sense in being overly paranoid, but letting your child run off to another state to live with complete strangers is about as awful a decision as it gets. That's the kind of thing where, at the very worst, someone could end up dead.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Man, I need to get into some softer rock. I have a lot of hardcore or experimental on my playlist.

NonSpecificGuy You got any more obscure recommendations? Or just anything at all.

Shoot. What did I recommend already? I can’t seem to find my post.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Okay. I'm gonna make a straw poll with all the games on my backlogue, and I want you guys to pick what I play next after I finish Woolly World!

Now Paragon, owner of the PapaGenos server has been accused of sexual harassment against people including Sabi.

If you ever are feeling down, just remember: Life could be worse. You could have Rodney in your Animal Crossing town.

CannonStreak To do a tl;dr of the document... ZeRo did do some cringeworthy things, but he's certainly not a predator like Nairo or Keitaro. He has also made many improvements since that time 6 or 7 years ago and will continue doing so hopefully.

Oh, I see. So what cringy things has he done?

 

[TheMightyP]

Since this is on everyone's minds, I'd like to say something.

Do not call these allegations "Cancel Culture". These are not the same as trying to ruin someone's career for saying something racist back in 1986 when they were 12. What we're seeing now is holding people accountable for their despicable actions that they committed, tried to cover up in any way they could, and sit upon it without any true remorse for what they did until they got caught, aka, being a total piece of ****.

Just remember that.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Doing a fan-casting project... has Jay Leno been cancelled?

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

You didn't even read the letter then. You need to if you want the full picture.
He briefly flirted with a girl when she was 17 and he was 19. But as soon as she told him her true age, ZeRo backed off. Dirty pictures were never sent in the first place, as well. He still screwed up for sure, but isn't a predator.

He goes onto explain his social ineptitude and his rough childhood at the end of the letter, but that part is lengthy and heavy hitting to the point where I'm not sure if I can summarize it sufficiently.

That is pretty much all I needed to know.

Now, if you excuse me, I am off to read about his rough childhood.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Well, there's something to be said of the writing for the original (spotty localization and other mitigating factors aside). Remake's storyboarding/writing gave her wayyyyyyy more of a glow-up in that regard beyond graphics and VO because of its sheer density. There is a goodly amount of exposition and watercooler moments besides the ones in the original game when we were first introduced to her. Hell, all of the characters in Remake got this treatment. I really want to respect your wishes and not spoil anything for you though, so believe me when I (we) tell you this: Not only is the tone/trajectory of the plot different this time around, but the characterization is as well.

That all said, I still dislike Aerith as a character, despite her being a lot more...palatable this time around. She still ticks off a couple of those saccharine anime trope boxes ("power of friendship," "pull yourself up by the bootstraps," etc) that annoy the hell out of me personally.
