Giving "not eating human meat" as a "personal dietary restriction" makes this poll really idiotic.

Then answer it with something that you feel best describes it. I'm sorry if I couldn't find all the categories that make up dietary restrictions....

Does "Nutrition and Health" include things that directly harm me, even if they are not usually harmful, intolerances in my case, or is that just about "Healthy" food?

Yes.

Probably should throw some spoiler tags on your original post if you still can, TC.

Damn...I'm screwed, aren't I?

And not related to this trope at all but Assassin's Creed II ends with a fistfight with the pope.

Wow, that's cool!

adjl posted...

A lot of JRPGs employ the trope to some degree or another, often as part of a broader plot of discovering that the church is evil.

Yeah, I agree there's many Japanese RPGs with this trope.

Blightzkrieg posted...

Okay then neither of those examples apply, I was thinking of gods who disguise themselves as humans.

I don't remember the plot but I watched my brother play Grandia II when I was younger and it definitely featured that idea heavily. I think the pope was the villain/final boss.

I played Grandia II on PC but couldn't get very far.

Blightzkrieg posted...

Not exactly sure what you mean, gods who disguise themselves? Or people pretending to be gods?

Maybe Flemeth or Solas in Dragon Age.

I guess, for example, gods that seem benevolent but have some secret agenda or something. Or I guess false gods or prophets.

Anyone name some examples of this trope in video games? A deity for which there is more than what they appear at first glance.

I think Japanese Fantasy games like Tales (Symphonia) and Final Fantasy (X) have examples of this trope.

Fridays I suppose.

Deep Dish. Mmm...pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings galore!

I don't consider those drinks to be orange juice but I like them more than real orange juice too. Sunny D is probably favorite.

Probably not juice, but you're right.

How do you like your orange juice?

This is gonna sound like blasphemy, but I like orange juice from concentrate like Hi-C or Tang. Sweet and without pulp.

Wow!

The city of Telosa is a planned project.

What do you think of this project?

There was a lot of hype surrounding silicone based life forms and it turns out it's just not as good as carbon. It can't form the same variety of bonds needed to make so many things. I don't like to use the word "designed" but it seems like there's one great way to do life in our physics.

It would be cool to think of different ways a brain could be made but we don't really know how brains work at this point in time. I bet it would be a bunch of cells sending electric impulses no matter what.

I can see what you mean regarding silicon...I guess carbon is the way to go for life!

Yeah, brains probably could exist in different ways.

That's why it always annoys me when people say humanoid aliens don't make any sense. Yes they do, especially if they evolve in a world designed by man for man, like Star Wars.

Totally agree about humanoid aliens! But I bet they're not the only type of aliens out there....

Yellow posted...

I also think if they existed and could fly in spaceships they would think a lot like we do. That, and there's only so many ways you can do biochemistry.

I bet they would have two eyes. Even tardigrades have two eyes.

I'd like to think the mentality of aliens would be similar to that of humans and some other mammals - I guess things like empathy and compassion would be advantageous characteristics - but I think there's more to biochemistry than what current science has shown.

Two eyes would be an advantageous characteristic to develop, though. 3-dimensional vision!

I like how humans can genuinely be friends with octopuses despite the fact that their brain is shaped like a tube, our closest relative is the slug, they only live for a year, and they're completely anti-social creatures. They might as well be aliens, but we can still sense their emotions very clearly.

Yep, just like aliens! Maybe the existence of cephalopods in addition to mammals and birds proves intelligent life is more common in the universe than we think?

Mammals and Birds (Crows and Parrots), as well as Cephalopods (Octopus, Cuttlefish, and Squid) are distantly related but they they all developed high intelligence!

Raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about!

*raises hand*

A delicious snack on the go!

Ha, quite interesting.

Think about it:

Everyday I go outside, I see people's eyes glued to their smartphones. You hear about AI all the time in the news. Many people (including me) can't seem to live without computers and the Internet....

You should probably ask there instead of PotD.

Okay I will.

I'm just curious. I hosted such a contest and giveaway on the Current Events board 4 years ago. Someone got real close to the actual results and I declared him a winner but he declined the prize. I know politics is not allowed to be talked about, but this is just a contest mainly for fun - we don't need to talk about it.

I'll listen to your suggestions everyone! Thanks!

"Fuel" by Metallica

All those seem good....I even like Denny's as well! Perfect for out-of-town trips!

I don't think I have.

Yes, maybe not on Day 1, but I liked that game when I played it on Gamecube.

Damage = ((Battle Power + ((Level * Level * Attack) / 256) * 3 / 2) * (255 - Defense) / 256) +1

I am humbled!

aHappySacka posted...

Are you sure it isn't one of those more complicated systems where attack is chance to hit and defence is chance to not take damage a.k.a dodge.

It's Paper Mario!

Are you taking notes?

Maybe later. Got a lot on my plate, so to speak.

It was like a 2 foot tall Roomba that moved slow with trays to hold plates of food. It also played music so you knew when it approached. It was dirty like how you would expect restaurant equipment to be. It was trippy to see at 9pm

Ah very interesting!

Last year. Did they come back?

JOExHIGASHI posted...

I was there recently

There was a robot waiter

That's interesting! I want to see this!

Lokarin posted...

You don't "go" to a Denny's... you "end up" at a Denny's

Perhaps. I'm sober and still like the food though....

Such is the life, am I right?

My nearest location is still open.

What the?

it is like impossible to find cotton candy flavor in stores

Yep, it is!

Lokarin posted...

i haven't had a lot of ice cream variety, but my uncle is always mentioning this rare pear flavoured ice cream he likes

Ooh...I'd like to try that!

Either Cinnamon, Blue Moon (not the beer but an artificial fruity flavor with a blue coloring), or Peanut Butter.
