I haven't played that one, so I'm not too sure. As for "it's all a simulation", it actually goes a bit further. Basically you have A) the idea that Fate exists in a multiverse, which is how it's possible for Archer to exist in Stay Night even though Shiro doesn't necessarily make the necessary decisions to become him. B) Every "servant" isn't a 1:1 copy of themselves. They're like a low resolution photocopy of a point in their life that has a bit of fiction and prevalant interpretations mixed in. As a result, a servant might have personality and physical traits or powers they didn't have in life, like how Hassan of 100 Faces (who shows up in the prequel novel) was 1 dude in life, but can split into 80 people as a servant. Which means that the foundations for ass-pulling has existed way in advance, whether intentionally or not.I'm unfamiliar with most of Fate/Gacha and most everything about the series when they really started pushing out constant reboots of its "continuity."
Though I do completely agree with what you're generally saying, I also hate when games pull the "NO YOU MUST LIKE MAIN GIRL" railroad in these kinds of things when you're given the illusion of other options.
While on the Fate series subject: Have you played the game that had Tamamos first appearance in it? Think it was the PSP RPG-like one. (The first one, not the "sequel/remake" of it, Fate/Extra I think?)
A certain thing about Tamamo always bothered me about her from that which is why I'd considered it strange she had blown up in popularity.
I'm not sure if it was a bad translation I went through or this was retconned or something, but I recall she had a scene or dialogue that was something along the lines of "Tamamo can have a harem but you MC can't, lol", did I imagine that or did everyone else just willfully forget about it?It's easy to imagine it being retconned because of her "fox-wife" gimmick and theYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

Yeah, that sounds about right, with all the "alternate versions" of characters floating around nowadays.I haven't played that one, so I'm not too sure.

He accepts/declines content additions from other people. I don't know how much he actually creates himself. He's the manager/maintainer, not like he does all the work. Era games are inherently a group project unless the maintainer is a control freak and doesn't allow many/any merge requests.sound like Pedy has doing this work alone for too long? How about he should rest a bit? Or is there someone else help him at all? I don't know.
Yeah, I noticed them having an argument before at gitgud, if what I've read is correct Pops is adding extremely questionable content to the game that doesn't really fit in with everything else, so I kind of understand Pedy going "No" to that, especially if it would be unavoidable and bleed into the rest of the content, not even accounting for the upkeep and maintenance, and other problems that would ensue stemming from content most of the people already playing it aren't there for. Programming is quite fickle like that. Whether that's the only reason or not I'm not sure.He accepts/declines content additions from other people. I don't know how much he actually creates himself.

Apparently Pedy made it difficult to "steal his code", which might make it difficult for others to re-add the content he removed in another fork. Pops is the other branch's dev btw.
Up until this recent removal of UMs character roster I've generally been fine with most of what Pedy was doing.Anons are working on a separate branch that includes all additions and removes pedy's current and future bullshit.
It's called AnonTW. So don't lose hope just yet.
What pops does has no bearing on pedy. Pops is a different fork. Pedy put code in his fork that would disable pops' if he ever ported it over for personal grudges.

See above. AnonTW is based off of pedy. So no pops content.Up until this recent removal of UMs character roster I've generally been fine with most of what Pedy was doing.
But more importantly is AnonTW separate from the Pops branch?
From what I've read pretty much everything that branch is adding into TW is something I'd like to avoid, and if it's between the two of either one or the other I'd still be more inclined to side with Pedy. TW doesn't need to be more like K and the content being added reads more like the kind of thing I'd expect from a middle-schooler that "secretly" hates the series they're writing about (like KKHTA) where you're essentially beating 2hus into a bloody pulp like some hatefic edgelord. That kind of shit should stay in 2huK where it belongs where there's at least some justification for it with the whole "war setting and rape monsters" and all.

Good to know. As for whatever Pops is doing then, it might be more beneficial to him to attempt to further distance himself completely from the TW name then as a separate game entirely, my initial interpretation of what he was doing was attempting to forcefully put things like: "Seija but with the entire postal 2 storyline" into TW from my reading his document. (There's more such things but this in particular caught my eye.)See above. AnonTW is based off of pedy. So no pops content.
He did distance himself. He calls it eraNAS instead.Good to know.

Ugh.
It's all fine then as long as 2huTW isn't fucked over.He did distance himself. He calls it eraNAS instead.
Pops also can't force anything. I don't know if he ever wanted to commit something to pedy. All I know is that the fork relationship was dropped a while back and pops wanted it back:You must be registered to see the links
But that also has no bearing on actual eraTohoTW.
I just hope this one gains traction, until than I guess I will stay on pedy 4.881Anons are working on a separate branch that includes all additions and removes pedy's current and future bullshit.

It's already out and working:Its a shame the new two brenches are coming down to a guy who likes shit and necrophilia, and a guy who is that modder who will control freak their creation to the point of putting malware in their own code to brick any changes

"How are they not cancerous? I've said it many times and it never seems to get through to you, it's almost as if you lack abstract thinking and exist in the middle of the bell curve. The design choices and colors are terrible, though to be fair, the last three games were pretty mediocre in that regard as well. However, the whole shtick of 18th entry, based on (((marketeers))), (((relinquishing your own property))), (((usury))) and (((debt))), makes it clear that it's just thinly veiled propaganda shoving the satanic cast down my throat, which I found unforgivable. And when they came for my game and injected their filth into it as well, that's where I drew the line. It's been in the works since the game's release, and not because of a sudden "impulse" as the thread schizos would have you believe."
I'll give him the mediocre designs/colors/etc, opinions and all, I don't completely disagree, I'm not particularly fond of most newer 2hus with a few exceptions, though I don't particularly hate them either:pedy finally unveiled what the reason for it is in /egg/ and it's nothing short of... uhh... "amazing"...:
Whoa... that was "amazing" alright. My brain kinda short circuit after reading this. The worst part is... Somehow I understand what he trying to said (after stare blankly for 2-3 minutes), and no, I not agree with any of it.pedy finally unveiled what the reason for it is in /egg/ and it's nothing short of... uhh... "amazing"...:
This exact situation was something of a meme before, is it actually legitimate now?Yeah, people have posted some evidence of the malware Pedy apparently added as well. For now, I've removed my links to his version in my guide and recent posts. Malicious code for whatever reason makes him untrustworthy and I don't want to direct people to those downloads.
Should just be the newest version. The AnonTW version apparently removes it as well, though I haven't tested it.This exact situation was something of a meme before, is it actually legitimate now?
Was this only in the newest version or were earlier ones compromised?
Don't suppose you or MagnaSonic might be more familiar with Tamamo and know what I'm talking about?
