    I, for one, am glad to see this.  As someone who admittedly used to make occasional jokes with friends about this (though really only if other people started joking about it first), I was glad that as I came to know more people in the trans community and people who identify strongly as allies as well, I was educated about the damaging effects of these jokes and the terrible stigmas associated.  Part of life is the personal growth of discovering new perspectives to different topics and learning about the different issues plaguing those of different identities and cultures.  For those who used to make jokes and feel as if their speech is going to be incredibly censored, I ask that you, instead of expressing your annoyance or frustration immediately, take the time to have a discussion with someone who strongly opposes your position or do some research on how these jokes affect trans people, most specifically those who are MtF.  Perhaps weigh the importance of being able to make a joke or use a word in certain contexts over the importance of people of a marginalized group feeling safe.  Yes, most people understand that the word's use in the context of jokes isn't particularly the same as calling someone by that name and therefore isn't particularly targeting someone, but what it does do is contribute to a stigma that people with genitalia differing from their outwardly presenting gender are undesirable and/or demonizes them by implying they wish to deceive others.  In my opinion, if me simply removing a word from my vocabulary in certain contexts has the contribution of decreasing the stigma against trans people and by association, easing their already absurdly plentiful and ridiculous struggles by even a fraction of a percent, I'll gladly do so.

    I... really don’t agree with this. Still feels like an overreaction by people who can’t understand Context. Just like the R word. Feels like far too politically correct censorship.

     

    Not going to start a fuss over this, and I’ll follow the new rule. But The N word, I can understand. It has no reason other than to be derogatory. This... not so much.

     

    I, however, hope this rule never shows up on Gamefaqs or Reddit. I’ll leave my “offensive/the human race is weak nowadays” posts for those communities.

     

    I genuinely hope that a commonly used term that’s eventually gonna be considered derogatory against people of Asian descent comes up. Then I can complain about the censorship of that word safely, since I’m a person of Asian descent.

     

    So, what’s the new word we’re gonna use? Eventually that will get banned as well, and the cycle will continue.

     

    There are derogatory words targeted towards those of asian descent.  A simple google search would find you results on that.  And perhaps instead of asking "what word we're gonna use," perhaps consider the alternative of not making jokes at the expense of marginalized groups.  I hope that approach may have more fulfilling results for you.

    The real question is: can we use synonyms (like ambush or lure) to refer to fictional characters previosly described by that word or are those banned as well? Seriosly i never thought of the term as "offensive" (or seen it used as such) but hey rules are rules

    Don't take my word for it since I'm not a staff member, but I think it would be safe to say those words in those contexts won't fly either.  From the experience of being the person who originally wrote up the post regarding rule 4, we tried to make it clear that variations of some of the listed words were considered bad as well, considering we all know the words themselves aren't dangerous, but rather their societal connotations.  Of course these words aren't entirely banned as they are words that didn't originally begin as derogatory terms, but I'd assume that in the specific context, they'd also be frowned upon.

    Nvm, I found it and the game is working much smoother now. The only issues I have now is a big lag spike when leaving & entering housing and when I switch wards / places or whatever, my game freezes for a few seconds. Have any idea how to fix this?

     

    I have no solutions for that unfortunately.  It's a commonplace occurrence for pretty much everyone regardless of the computer's performance.

    It doesn't matter what battle it is my game will work for like 10 minutes and then whatever battle I play will randomly freeze and my game will crash after x turns

    I'm never too big on using this as a solution unless I have to, but from what it sounds like, it might just be your computer's inability to keep up with how intensive Reborn can be for Macs.  One solution that may help, even if it unfortunately reduces the quality of the battling experiences, is disabling battle animations.  For Macs that are weaker and/or on the older side, like my previous laptop for example, things like that tended to work.  I wish I could provide more of a solution outside of being sure to save as frequently as possible and potentially giving your computer a break for a few minutes after brief intervals of playing to ensure it's not overheating.  I've yet to run into much else that specifically helps these sort of issues, but please come back and let me know if none of that is making any difference.  I apologize once again for my lack of solutions here, but I hope this doesn't turn you off from the game!

    I've experienced this before but never really quite worked out a solution.  It was something I specifically experienced using wine method before I switched to wineskin and eventually updated to a newer Mac.  But just for clarification, is this coming from the animation of the stat-affecting move, or the animation of the stats being affected?  Is it for stats being increased, decreased,  or both?

    EDIT: nm I got it to work. Thanks for this guide, can't wait to play!

    Using Wineskin: I followed the drive_c path to access my save file just fine, but when I try to open the file, it tells me I don't have an application that can open this kind of file. I tried setting it to open with "Wineskin Winery," but that didn't work. Any advice? (Great guide, by the way.)

    Oops, sorry for a late reply.  I'm glad you figured it out though!  For the sake of clarity, when you said save file, did you mean your game.rxdata file or the wrapper you created to play the game?  Just want to familiarize myself with the issue if it turns out to be important/common.

    Is there a way to load a old save on mac in wine?

     

    Simply move the game.rxdata file of the save you want into the folder mentioned in wine method step 6.  Make sure it is the only file in there named game.rxdata.  If you’re loading a previous save that is already in that folder, once again, just rename it to game.rxdata.

    I made a save file already, which is why I'm confused that I can't locate it. I've gone through just about every folder in drive_c. Should I just start from the beginning and try uninstalling/downloading Wineskin again?

    Before trying to reinstall, you're sure that you're locating this folder by first right/double clicking on your wrapper and clicking "show package contents?"  I just now realized I didn't make that quite clear in the guide so I've edited it to reflect that.

    I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to transfer my save file to Wineskin - I started off using Wine since I have High Sierra but it kept crashing so I figured I'd try Wineskin instead, but I already have a couple hours of gameplay. I can't seem to locate my Wineskin folder when I get to Users, which is where I assume I would just copy and paste my .exe. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

    You have to try launching the game at least once using your wineskin wrapper for it to create the saved games folder, if you haven't already.  And what you're transferring is not the game.exe file, but the game.rxdata file originally from your wine saved games folder.
