Most bosses from Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina's DLC. Lots of references, dry humor and even a tear jerker.


Um, this is the DLC with the absolutely horrendous Handsome Dragon. I hope you're not counting that one. I mean, it's not as bad as Jackenstein or the Badassasaurus, but it's still pretttttty awful.

How recent is recent? Rabi-Ribi's free Halloween DLC boss, the new bosses from the DLC that released yesterday, and the standard game's first endgame boss and all postgame bosses are some of the most fun and interesting bosses I've seen in 2D game. Some of them took me six or more hours to beat, too.



Not many other games I've played with noteworthy bosses in the last year. Most bosses nowadays are just setpieces or have too small an attack pool to be interesting.

I wonder if there was some deviant ancient Egyptian scene where people found their gods sexy. It sounds like it could be possible (I mean, someone will find just about anything sexy), but the fact that there's no surviving artwork of that sort suggests either it was too taboo to put into art, actually just unthinkable to begin with, or it was all destroyed for being offensive to the gods.

You should spend enough to show you care enough to make some sacrificies for her, but "providing" for someone in an ongoing sense (and not just in case of misfortune where she has no other option, like being laid off or injured) is not a mandatory thing for another adult in this age in America. But some people don't have the same values and societal expectations, especially if they're from other cultures. Ultimately, it's your decision to make, but you're not in the wrong if you demand that you maintain separate finances or split costs equally.

"Tolerating" rape in this context doesn't have anything at all to do with how you feel about it in real life, either. It just means you don't blacklist it.

Oh, I see. He's not okay with rape, he's just okay with people who are okay with rape. Totally different.


Are you really this dense, or are you just an underage user?

Jesus, dude, people have fetishes for stuff like crushing people or being crushed to death, being inside various orifices (and I don't mean just sticking one part in), being magically mind controlled or controlled with drugs to become someone's puppet... are you seriously gonna tell me that people are actually going to seek to act any of this out in real life with someone who doesn't consent?

Even someone who puts that they love rape on a site like that just means they have a fetish for it, not that they at all feel it's okay when it happens to an actual victim. This guy puts that even fictional depictions of it make him uncomfortable, but he can tolerate it in some situations.

I'd be willing to bet $100 that there's absolutely nothing remotely related to animal costumes in his profile or interests and the news sites just added that because people are still fucking morons when it comes to parroting that myth.

"Tolerating" rape in this context doesn't have anything at all to do with how you feel about it in real life, either. It just means you don't blacklist it (it's not that uncommon; stuff like tentacle rape is generally not viewed in the same way as realistic depictions) and wouldn't automatically turn someone down if they were into rape-play (i.e. voluntarily pretending to be raped as a BSDM-spectrum fetish when you're actually both fully consenting).

Of course, everything about the media and sex is guaranteed to be 100% pants-on-head moronic and as poorly researched and sensational as possible.

A lot of the significance of things involving Triss will be lost, since she's a major character in all three games. Other than that, not a ton. You won't have known Foltest or Roche before, which might affect how you feel about a certain sidequest arc, and you won't have seen the end of Witcher 2, which presents a bit of backstory on the sorceresses (and everything with Sile de Tansarville, who plays a small but not insignificant role in this game if she's alive for it), Letho (same case as Sile), and the beginning of Nilfgaard's invasion.

It's literally illustrations of guys (or girls, or dickgirls, or whatever other fantasies you may have) with ideal bodies but without any of the intimidation that can come with that, plus a hint of the exotic--I'm sure more people like the idea of wings, fangs, different colors or textures, etc. than would actually admit it, especially since they're suddenly all over that stuff when it appears on aliens or demons or something. I'd honestly think it'd be more popular.

A lot of the time it depends on the streamer. Someone who is both really intelligent (and thus actually plays games well and plays more interesting games) and funny is great to watch. Day9 and TheOddOne (afterhours/weekend streams if you don't want League of Legends) both fit here. Brownman (aka Ray Narveaz Jr., formerly of Achievement Hunter) and Trihex are both really entertaining as well. Sure there's plenty more.

Pokemon. Holy shit, Pokemon. That series lags so far behind other games of its generation in terms of graphics and sound, took over a decade and a half to try having things like "story" and "noteworthy characters" in an RPG, and has some of the most repetitive, boring, slow gameplay I've seen in an RPG. On top of this, the games are intentionally exploitative in their release structure: there are 26 main series titles if I counted correctly (counting Blue and Green as the same game), but only 8 actual unique games. The other 18 are the exact same game with a handful of tiny changes, or remakes because for some reason they're not capable of putting the same buildings that are in every town in a different arrangement another eight times.

Hunter, mage: Molten Giants, keep his board empty and pile on damage (mage can also reset like crazy until they get Counterspell and Kabal Lackey turn 1). Cards that give adjacent minions taunt are good.
Shaman, paladin: Murlocs, try to kill before turn 7
Warrior: double Dead Man's Hand + Coldlight Oracle + Bring It On! mill him during Frostmourne phase after leaving exactly one soul alive (he never plays cards at this point). End phase once fatigue for him is at a crazy level.

It's so much better than Minecraft, how did that game steal the spotlight? Was it just because it was the first to do it?


Because Minecraft doesn't make its crappy combat the focus of the game and Terraria does, Minecraft has a much less frustrating UI and controls, Minecraft doesn't have ten trillion kinds of decorative blocks to manage because you just build stuff yourself, Minecraft's building options are so much more versatile and powerful, and Minecraft doesn't show you what's on the other side of a block before you dig through it so there's actually some suspense when exploring.

I tried Terraria, and to this day, I seriously wonder why someone would want to bog down the already mediocre combat/spelunking aspect by locking it behind digging at walls for hours. I mean, that was the most boring part of Minecraft, so why keep it? I'd much rather just play a real action platformer than a grindy one with annoying inventory management, a really awful crafting/building system, and no actual level design.

That being said, I think the state should pay for birth control for its residents if they want it. Not just for criminals, but everyone. I think this is a move in the right direction, but doesn't apply to enough of the population.


Being given a vasectomy AFTER you've raped someone doesn't really do much if your sentence is the majority of your adult life, though. And 30 days off a multi-decade or life sentence doesn't do much either. This is for people who get sentences of a few months to a few years for lesser crimes. Really, the biggest problem I have with it is that it encourages people to make a decision which they may regret later.

so are we saying it is legit that some trans people might actually have brains that are different from their biological sex, and so their feeling of their genitals not matching them as a person make sense?!


There exists both the framework for this to be possible, i.e. the fact that men and women have differences in their brains, and a few studies showing that transgender individuals have brains significantly more like those of the opposite sex than the norm. (https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/85/5/2034/2660626/Male-to-Female-Transsexuals-Have-Female-Neuron for example). Although I feel like the need to prove the "legitimacy" of transgender individuals is more than a bit strange when you consider how unlikely it is that someone would want to become the opposite sex permanently just to be able to enter the women's bathroom or any of the other incredibly dumb rationales people suggest for it.

You missed Skullgirls + all DLC being $1 by a few hours, unfortunately. It's not exactly active, but I mean, you'll still be able to find a match with the Quick Match feature any time, and the GGPO netcode is really solid, enough that I can play with someone in Brazil from the northeast US and still have a good match.

It's an overwhelmingly offense-oriented game, though, so it can be extremely frustrating trying to break out of a reset chain against a really good player, since it will feel like you're being comboed the whole match (there's several anti-infinite systems and rapid damage decay, but good players reset with a crossup or by baiting something from you so quickly that you feel helpless).

But actually downloading them is *more* illegal?

playing them in a browser is exactly the same as downloading. how do you think your browser plays them if it doesnt download the file?

So it would be looked at the same if you had a ROM and emulator on your PC vs. just playing the game in your browser?


Who is doing this looking? If it's your ISP, you're fine unless they're super crazy zealous about this (no one is, as there's basically no pressure from the industry for them to do anything). I've never even heard of companies actually prosecuting for ROMs on your hard drive and sending teams to seize your computer, but if that ever happened, you'd be in the worst shape still having a ROM on your hard drive, better shape if it was deleted, and better shape still you'd written data over the sectors where the ROM had been written previously. When you access data in your browser, it is downloaded into a directory of temporarily files that (depending on your caching settings) is deleted as soon as the directory surpasses a certain size and all the older files there have been deleted, or when you close your browser.

Basically, ROM ownership isn't going to get you in trouble. Maybe if you start to host the files for other people.

This so hard, except he's so clearly just abused I wouldn't call him a villain. He's just a hero who can't win.

Are these jokes to confuse people? The answer is obviously 25%.

What's your reasoning?


"If I don't say something like this, the topic won't get to 500."

That's the reasoning.

The easiest way to solve this is to just list the 8 cases, eliminate the one with no girls, and trivially note that one of the remaining seven has all three being girls, so the answer is 1/7, working with the assumption that boys are girls are equally likely outcomes, of course.

Another way is to use the conditional probability formula: The probability of event B occurring given that event A has occured is equal to the probability of the intersection of A and B divided by the probability of A.

Let A be the event that there is at least one girl and B be the event that all three children are girls. P(A) = 7/8, P(A intersect B) = P(B) (as any outcome with three girls clearly has at least one girl) = 1/8, and (1/8) / (7/8) = 1/7.
