SolKarellen 08/28/17 5:12:56 PM #3	SageHarpuia posted... A couple of years ago, one night, I was about to propose to my girlfriend when my roommate Joseph barged into the room out of nowhere, tripped and fell over, breaking a glass table with his face. Totally ruined the mood. Now, I didn't know Joseph THAT well, don't even remember where he was from, but let' just say I put my plans on hold to help him through his injuries. Joseph had gotten big glass shard in his eye, making him completely blind in that eye. He was walking around with one of those cotton pads on his eye for a couple of months. Then suddenly, he disappeared, along with my girlfriend Apparently they'd bonded during the time after his injuries, and eloped together , left me behind without as much as a note. I tried to track them down, but never could. In conclusion, if it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe, I'd have been married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go?

Uhh yeah it's pretty clear that he's suffering from dementia or some kind of cognitive disease. That's pretty clear when he's just rolling around in the water tower or whatever it was just going in circles spouting off nonsense. There's also the possibility that whatever they put in the food and water to keep mutants from being born/developing their powers might have affected them in some negative ways as well and potentially even lead to what was going on with Prof X and Logan. Logan's issues were caused by his healing factor slowing down due to aging to the point that it couldn't stave off the poisoning caused by his adamantium bones. --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.
Topic	Finished Logan. Ok it was actually good. BUT WTF???!! Spoilers
SolKarellen 08/28/17 1:48:08 AM #26	Only thing that bothered me was Xavier insisting on staying with that family, ensuring their murders. Same thing happened in Origins. I guess Xavier refusing to take his meds when they're in populated cities, also. Was Xavier supposed to be going senile and not making rational decisions or what? He made horrible decisions for a usually smart man. Or was others getting hurt because of him a deliberate choice to show how his goody-goody nature was naive and dangerous in the film's bleak setting? --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.

In fact, 80% of the games here I have zero complaints with. I'm not understanding the hate either. It's a bit jarring to go from PS4 to older controls but I wouldn't say they "ruin" the game. Bring it down? A bit but I manage to adjust 9/10 times. MGS3 just copy and pasted MGS2's controls when they could've improved them. Pressure sensitive buttons was an issue that carried over, too. --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.

I'll probably buy it in a week or so, but for now I am content to try to finish the original BW campaign on the original version. And once I get it, I don't intend on using the updated graphics. Yeah, me neither. Brood War's graphics style is just absolutely perfect, alongside Diablo 2. I'll never get tired of them; they'll never age. Same. For the people who grew up with the games, there's no reason to use updated graphics when you prefer the original.

What it did great was build this cool world and left a lot of unanswered questions. Then Sc2 answered many of them. And the answers weren't as fun as the speculation.

It has two seasons which are both among the best aired on television -- animated or no. I think it's among the best of police procedural shows ever.

Then 1,300 years of planning fail when his Yonah allows herself to die because she couldn't bear taking the body of Nier's Yonah as she had her own seperate consciousness. Replicants were never supposed to possess their own consciousness or sense of self. Then Nier kills the Shadowlord, dooming humanity to extinction.

Topic	I wanna talk about Silent Hill 2.
SolKarellen 08/02/17 12:27:14 AM #16	I hated all the B-movie occult stuff and I'm glad 2 does away with it, instead making Silent Hill some sort of inexplicable psychological purgatory or crucible. Granted, I really like Siren, which is based in the occult but Japanese occult instead of the vaguely Satanist sleepy midwestern town occult in Silent Hill series. Incidentally, Siren was made by the developers of Silent Hill 1... Siren is definitely by favorite "extremely rough around the edges, early PS2 era" game. --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.

Topic	C/D: cropping dogs' ears and "docking" their tails is animal cruelty
SolKarellen 07/25/17 10:01:52 PM #36	JRaasin posted... WhinyZach posted... voldothegr8 posted... C for ears D for tails. Some breeds have to have their tails docked for their own safety. My buddy once had an American Bulldog and he decided not to dock. Not only would that tail whip inflict legit damage on people, his tail would also whip hard enough on concrete or other hard surfaces that it would break open and bleed all over the place. Makes you wonder why the species never evolved to have a shorter tail or something. Selective breeding sort of gets in the way of natural selection. Bulldogs are specifically bred to maintain their recognizable traits. Honestly, they're disgusting, ugly dogs and I'll never understand why people like them. They are genetically skull-fucked by the breeding process just so to have the traits idiot consumers want. --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.

Topic	Which Fire Emblem game world/setting had the best story overall?
SolKarellen 07/15/17 9:41:12 PM #10	I'm still fond of Elibe, mostly because of 7. I liked how 7 wasn't about a war but starts off with a tribeswoman trying to reunite with her grandfather and a nobleman looking for his father, with all this leading to conflict with a shadowy organization and concludes with a greatest battle never known scenario. And Nergal, at first, seems to be the stock evil dark wizard standard of the series, but completing the Kishuna chapters on a second playthrough of Hector mode reveals that he's a gut-wrenchingly tragic villain. I love how the ending changes so much if you do those extra chapters, yet are subtle changes. That final image you get with the alternate ending, man... --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.

SolKarellen 07/08/17 10:20:04 AM #9	EnragedSlith posted... Southernfatman posted... I always felt the clones should have been the bad guys vs conscripted soldiers of The Republic. It would make the easy transition to the Empire make a little more sense. Yeah, the zero stakes war thing was basically pointless. But I guess Lucas needed to find a way to shoehorn in the Jedi getting deceived and fucked, so he picked the most roundabout way possible, also ruining his IP in the process. You know what would make sense? A popular war the jedi refused to take part in. Negative public perception culminating in riots to oust the order. Anakin feeling deeply troubled because he felt that the jedi should protect the people, so he joins the war effort as a commander and a hero, which puts him at odds with Obi Wan and the order. The moral grey and devastating emotional impact of war pushes him towards the darkside. Palpatine gets his stanky dick all up in there.

It's good for girls to know that it isn't some obtainable goal to reach for. No one looks like that in real life. It's fake. People have stretch marks and acne. It's okay. It's normal. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's good that an ad campaign is letting them know that they aren't alone.
