>phobia settings>colorblind settingsAny other settings devs put in their games that make you cringe?
oh no, poor froggy :(
I don't see the problem with color blind settings. Especially for something like puzzle games where the colors matter to the gameplay.
>>737924421you sound colorblind lmao
>>737923605What if I told you the right design is more soulful?
>>737923605What's wrong with phobia settings? If you like a game but it has spiders in it as a weak enemy or something of similar nature, and you have arachnophobia, there ain't nothing wrong with the option of making them look different so you can keep playing the game.
>>737923627:<
>>737925943If you can't get over your phobia in a video game, you need serious help
>>737925943Or you could just grow a pair and deal with the pixels on your screen.
>>737926254No real way of curing phobias Anon. Can't really therapy away the fear of spiders if they constantly make you want to throw up and scream every time you see them.>>737926292Read the first part as well. Some people can't help it.
Colorblind settings are fine since that matters and you have no way of fixing that. Phobia settings are fucking retarded though and it's easy to fucking overcome fears involving shit you see that's common!
>>737925605You sound 5'4
>>737926679Maybe you should avoid spiders if you're that mentally insane.
>>737925943Why should arachnophobia get this special treatment over the 300 other recognized phobias?
>>737926843Whatever makes you feel better about your shit genetics
>>737926943That's what devs allow people to do silly, by adding a option to not see them. It's almost like it's a handicap people can't fix very easily. Crazy.
>>737926679>Can't really therapy away the fear of spiders if they constantly make you want to throw up and scream every time you see them.Is there literally any recorded evidence that phobias can be triggered like this by fictional depictions of the thing like in a video game? I'm talking people actually going into THIS sort of crazy panic when they play the game tho, not just being unnerved or uncomfortable or whatever.Because if there isn't, that's 100% definitive proof that all this "phobia setting" shit is nothing but pointless virtue signalling.
>>737927087Let me be more clear, you should be inpatient
>>737927010Because it's the most common phobia you silly Anon.
>>737927095That one youtuber Rtgame comes to mind. Literally throws up because of a spider like crab in subnautica and had to mod them out of the game so he could keep playing. There also are recorded cases of people convulsing and throwing up because of them in case studies as well.
>>737927304>That one youtuber Rtgame comes to mind. Literally throws up because of a spider like crab in subnautica and had to mod them out of the game so he could keep playing.Link?
>>737927352https://youtu.be/VlQgRtX3Wew?si=v73Cqz3bYTfpmRiKThere ya go anon
>>737926679Hardcore exposition therapy until your mind and body are numb to it.
>>737927087>>737927158Arachnophobia is taught and learned behavior. No human is born with a fear of spiders. You can unlearn it just as well.
>>737923605Why should I scream and shit myself and throw tantrums over some settings existing? What is with you people being personally offended and attacked by the most meaningless things?
>>737927158I'm sure fear of dying is more common yet every game kills you without even asking permission.
>>73792766499% of what humans think, say, and do is learned taught behavior. The only things we're naturally born with are peeing, pooping, crying, and trying to stuff everything in our mouths.
>>737925803you could be rightit's like a gen 1 pokemon, while left is like a whatever-is-the-latest-gen overdesigned garbage
>>737927498>literally laughs it offDoesn't look like an emergency situation to me. This is no different from people getting spooked by, say, any normal scare in a horror game.
>>737927861Left looks like a Tangela, a Gen 1 Pokemon.
>>737927751It tells me where dev priorities lie.Every game is made on a budget. For every accessibility setting, something else was lost. Time and money that should have gone into the GAME were wasted.>b-but it wasn't much probably...Doesn't matter. If the devs don't care enough about their own game to polish it more, if they destroy their own artistic vision instead, why should I waste my time on what they make?
>>737927995Oh please, quit being such a dramatic little bitch. It takes little time, effort, and money to make alternate sprites or models for things like this.
>>737928071why don't you stop being a dramatic little bitch who cries about spiders then?
>tfw colorblind>tfw when red and brown smears together>tfw when certain nuances of blue and purple become the same>tfw dark green and dark brown can be the sameI can never see the world with your eyes, but I'm fine with this. Most games with colorblind options doesn't get the colors right when swapped any way, if I could choose the color for each UI element in the game I'd be very happy.>haha you're colorblindYes, and?
Will games ever add a homophobia mode?
>>737928176Spiders don't bother me. Neither to these optional options. Piss yourself in fury harder.
>>737928351There's plenty of games with no male characters, you can play them.
>>737927751It's the same thing as having a bluesky account. The mere fact it exists tells me all I need to know about the devs. Not all additions are positive and more things doesn't equal better. Bluesky or arachnaphobia mode = I will not buy your game because I know who you are as a person. And I don't like you.
>>737923605>devs shouldn't expand their market with easily implementable visual changesYou see how that's retarded, right? Who gives a fuck about whether or not someone's a baby about bugs, if you can whip up a quick model change and get their money then you should.
>>737925943Because faggots like you don't deserve to play. Grow tf up boohoo nigga.
>>737928814The amount of people that "need" that mode versus the people that would actually refuse to buy the game if it was added are probably equal.
>>737928814Because if you do this you get another group of people who will drop you for exposing your dev red flags. There's plenty of shit to play and that as a data point is enough to get me to drop a game because I know which culture team the devs are on. Fucking morons think it's not an equation and more always has no drawbacks. That's why games are the massive collapsing mess they are. Just tack more on. All benefits no downsides bro.
>>737926679>No real way of curing phobias Anon. Can't really therapy away the fear of spidersI doubt that. Exposure therapy + rationalization would probably cure arachnophobia. Most phobias are just because you don't really understand something well enough to know that you don't need to be scared of it. I don't believe that it's an innate physical quality like colour blindness is for example. It might be a lot of work to "fix", maybe more than some people are willing to put in, but I do believe it can be resolved if you really want to.
>>737928735Good, I couldn't stand being around someone like you, either.
>>737928909I can't imagine myself being such a fucktarded animal that I get this shitting angry over an arachnophobia mode. They may be trannies over being afraid of spiders, but you're losing your dog-fucking shit over something even more retarded, and what's even funnier is your "I know exactly what religion, political stance, opinions on the cheese pizza island, etc etc you are about this and it pisses me right the fuck off" attitude, it's hilarious.
>>737923605You'd think all the 3 IQ retards here would cheer for color blind settings since it mostly afflicts men.
>>737928351>homophobia mode - removes gays>enabling it makes the main character AI controlled.
>>737923605>trigger warnings>gaytracing>faggen>type 1 type 2
>>737929007Feeling is mutual. Glad you agree it's a cultural dividing line and arachnaphobia mode serves its purpose. It also won't make up for the people on my side who hate people like you when it's put in. You're not onboarding enough new people who are scared of spiders to correct for the cultural line in the sand you're drawing.
>>737927751We should generally work towards humans having as much of a shared experience of everything as possible. If i look at something and see spiders, you should not be allowed to not see spiders.
>>737929118It mostly affects brown men. I've never met an actually white dude who was too stupid to see colors, maybe some mixxed freaks, but never a pure blood.
>>737929167>if I see spider pussy no one else should be allowed toStop hogging all the spider girls.
>>737929167Exactly. If I see faggots and trannies, you should not be allowed to not see faggots and trannies.
>>737929164>phobias are an attack on cultureEverything is an attack on culture to you gaslighting fucktards.
>>737929147chud-status: owned!
>>737929307Exactly, which is why we need to get rid of them so no one has to see them.
>>737929336Maybe stop attacking culture you weed.
>>737927158I think the percentage is fake, there's tons of fags (mostly women) that see an irl spider and go "KEEL EEEEET!", maybe try to kill it with a shoe.That's not aracnophobia, but if you ask them they'll say they have it.
>>737928735To be fair they could be using the bluesky account like valve does: marketing only.
>>737923605colorblind is whatever, but wasting dev time on whole ass modifications because of phobias is faggy and queer
sup guys :)
>>737925605>>737927059This is like a parody from someone who hates 4chan. Like some normalfag who can only conceive of anons as "meanypants bullies ignorant of anyone different >:((((" even though most of us are here in the first place because normies treat us that way for shit that isn't our fault.
>>737929121lel
>>737929754Yo wtf is this shit? Spider sex?
BUT CAN YOU PET THE DOGGO?!YOU CAN PET THE DOGGO!!
>>737925943Get over it you absolute fucking nigger faggot.I have severe arachnophobia to the point seeing a spider that's slightly too big genuinely makes my knees shake but it's fine when it comes to videogames.>"oh no how dare thing that's supposed to be scary/unnerwing actually does its job!?!?!?"
>>737929164it's somewhat ironic you mock people who are afraid of spiders considering people like you are pathologically terrified of anyone even slightly different from you and the only way you know how to cope with that is with this pantomime aggressiveness when what you need is some love and therapy.any normal well-adjusted adult would see an arachnophobia mode and if they don't have such phobia, proceed to ignore it and play the game normally and that would be the end of that. but to melodramatic online crusaders like you it's somehow a cultural divide or whatever? get over yourself you ridiculous clown. i know you'll never listen to some rando online but i wish i could help you understand how incredibly weird and increasingly delusional your behaviour is. you are a very easy mark for people who will exploit your insecurities to their benefit.
Accessibility options are the coolest thing in modern vidya, fuck youAlthough it is funny when a level has colorblind-friendly indicators like cyan and stuff.
>>737930364holy /r/eddit
>>737925943Nigga I have arachnophobia and video game spiders don't do shit to me.
>>737930364>terrifiedHate. We hate them. We aren't afraid of them. Get it right.
>>737930624>My experience with an irrational fear is the same for everyonesit the fuck down, retard nigga
I have notmephobia. Where is the option to remove all not-mes? I mean from real life, not from video games.
color blind settings were based back in the day when every dev wanted to use blue/orange in their UI design
>>737928735>It's the same thing as having a bluesky account. The mere fact it exists tells me all I need to know about the devs. Not all additions are positive and more things doesn't equal better. Bluesky or arachnaphobia mode = I will not buy your game because I know who you are as a person. And I don't like you.
My arachnophobia is so bad that I live in constant anxiety and fear of encountering them since they can show up in my home at anytime. I can't sleep sometimes because intrusive thoughts make me dream of them.I would fucking love to delete spiders in vidya since they affect me so much while being literally nothing to normies.I had to play the classic/OG RE games with a wiki on the side spoiling which rooms have spiders so I can prepare myself.
Spiders are beautiful hardworking creatures that you should be happy to see in or around your home. Being afraid of bees/wasps or scorpions or some shit makes sense but spiders just mind their business and kill annoying flying bugs.
>>737930995I mean how can you be scared of this?
>using a frog>using a 'jaktelltale signs of a lost argument and zero value opinions
>>737928351It's called Arabic versions of the game.Reminder that the spooderman mod to remove fag flags just spoofed a region checker.
>>737930995Unironically I agree. One of the few bugs I leave alone.
>>737926254>>737926292Certainly you're no hypocrites, and follow this line of thought with your own phobias, when a video game has a pride flag in it.
>>737930995Irrational fears are irrational anon
>>737930714That's what I mean with pantomime aggressiveness my dude. What would even make you hate people for such banal reasons? Because you don't understand them and that scares you.
>>737926679>No real way of curing phobiasThere literally is. You expose yourself to the absolute limit that you can handle (even if its as retarded as "being four feet from a drawing of a spider") for an extended period of time until your body goes "oh okay this happened and I didnt die," and then you repeat until that doesnt provoke a reaction, upon which you move up the exposure until its the absolute limit you can take, then repeat until THAT doesnt provoke a reaction, and continue likewise.
>>737926843Fucking NAILED the cunt lmaoI bet he's been gapped by the Norwood reaper, too.
>>737923605colorblindness actually makes sensevidya phobias are made up snowflake shit
>>737931261You would have a point if they gave an option to remove that shit or allowed mods to do so. But there's not, so you have no point.
>>737929754Kek. The only one that ever properly got me was a screenshot that I didn't realize was a gif.I tapped it to read it, in the dark, in bed if course, and while reading it, the gif part played, which was a spider a quarter the size of the screen crawling up from the bottom. I actually yelped lol
>>737931852Games that allow removing spiders are also a very small minority.
>>737923605colorblind settings are fine, being born unable to see certain colors isn't the same as being a super whiny bitch about goofy cartoonish video game worms or w/e
>>737931885That doesn't change what I said.
>>737931478I understand them just fine. I just don't like them. In fact it's my knowing them that bred my hatred. Hate. Not fear. Not ignorance. Pure, burning hatred.
>>737923605>parasite frog>dick frog
>>737931893>It's just a game, it can't affect you in any emotional or meaningful way!retard
>>737925605>you sound colorblindBelly laughed at this at 3 in the morning, good one man
>>737923605I think arachnophobia settings is stupid but honestly I get it for the maggot boss. I wouldn't want to fight a hyperrealistic animated scat golem or puke wizard either. No reason to make your game gross for no reason.

>>737923605"Story mode" difficulty setting is the most nonsensical horseshit I've ever seenWhy waste dev resources and time to neuter your own game for people that actively don't want to engage with what you've created?
>>737932236RIP uncle todd, drained dry by the local spider girl population.
>>737930742Yes, because videogame spiders do not move, behave, or often times even actually look, like actual spiders. Quit being a performative faggot.
>>737925943I have arachnophobia. Killing spiders in video games helps me get over it.Also my bigger phobia is being shot and I don't expect FPS games to censor the guns.
Imagine if Asmongold and Rich participated in the twitch campaign.

>>737930364>terrifiedMore like disgusted.Just like hating shit doesn't make you coprophobic.
>>737932329It doesn't take a lot of time to develop and opens your game up for storyfags, people with mental issues and people who just want to mess around. It's just a rebranded godmode cheat.
>>737925943If you have Arachnophobia so bad you get out of sorts from seeing a spider in a video game, it's probably important for you to work on improving the problem instead of ignoring it. Video games are a great way of doing that. Spiders exist, you have to learn to live with them.Arachnophobia is a mostly culturally transmitted trait. Some people grow up seeing that it's totally normal to be performatively terrified of spiders, and they internalize that and become the same way. It's no good to encourage and enable them.Believe me, I know what it's like.I used to have an extreme irrational fear of purple flowers. Some girl in my class in second grade would go on and on and on about how sick she got when she touched some. (which I presume were lilac in hindsight?) And I ended up terrified of any and all purple flowers, even in video games, movies, and TV. I had to turn the TV off if a character was about to pick up or touch a purple flower. I would avoid purple flowers in video games if I could, and if I couldn't? I'd just give up on the game entirely. I dropped Tak and the Power of Juju before playing much because one of the first bosses you fight is a purple flower that tries to eat you.That ended when I was on a walk around the neighborhood with my dad. There was a house with purple tulips growing in a planter alongside the street. I flew into a panic and started running down the street without looking where I was going. My dad grabbed me, dragged me back to the planter, and touched the flowers himself to prove they were harmless. But that just convinced me he had poisoned himself and was going to die. I was completely mortified and stricken with preemptive grief. I was completely senseless, he had to carry me back home, screaming and crying.Then nothing fucking happened over the next few days. He didn't get sick, he didn't die. I realized I had been a retard the whole time and got over it.A purpleflowerphobia mode would have only made me worse.
>>737933225I didn't ask for blogpost about what happened to you last week.
>>737928976>>737931751Exposure therapy doesn't work on phobias, only regular fears. Actual phobias are one of those hybrid ailments where psychological and physical symptoms (mostly the nervous system in this case) compound one another and can't be fixed by only addressing one side. There's a world of difference between "scared of spiders" and "incapable of even seeing the word 'spider' without extreme nervous reactions (heart palpitations, blood pressure spikes, convulsing, vomiting, fainting, etc.) and weeks-long terror from similarly extreme psychological reactions (flashbacks, hallucinations, nightmares, etc.), and exposure therapy can significantly worry the latter. There's no limit that someone with a phobia can tolerate, even something unrelated that might call to mind whatever the phobia is is enough to fuck someone who actually has one over for a long time. This is also why people with one phobia tend to develop others btw.Retards like to water things down to be dramatic, but the actual condition is adjacent to shit like schizophrenia and C-PTSD where it's life-ruining for the people that develop one.
>>737925605Wouldn't it be colordeaf if it's about SOUND?
>>737923605getting mad at phobia settings is one of the most forced things this board as done
>>737925605>hearing textBitter they haven't came up with a setting for your condition, retard?
I have acrophobia and the only time it affected me in a video game was getting to the summit of Mt. Chiliad in GTA SA. My legs went numb as though I was actually very high up. Did I furiously uninstall the game afterwards? No, I thought "this is a fucking good game" and kept playing.
>>737923605Oh, he's a frog.
>>737927664I'd have considered myself arachnophobic until my toddler got intensely interested in spiders. We watched so many docos, read so many books about it I just desensitized myself to it and now I don't give a shit.
