| Topic | Which of these Star Wars characters is the worst? |
| Voxwik 07/17/18 6:07:20 PM #84 | Personally I want sequels more than prequels. I yearn for a post-Voyager Star Trek show. Prequels are infinitely better than "throw it all out" reboots though, in my opinion. I have mixed feelings over the grimdark sequels but they didn't take the easy route that's for sure, even if my suspension of disbelief is stretched to its limits at the notion |

I admit I will bow out if I said my piece to avoid getting into feedback loop arguments. I tend to come here to look for topics about the current poll then get sucked into others sometimes. That said a USA president openly praising an adversary while trying to undermine the credibility of his own country's intelligence agencies is stunningly unprecedented, even on top of his efforts to undermine vote tallies and the justice department. |

| Voxwik 07/17/18 12:09:56 PM #66 | TheCyborgNinja posted... I never liked him, but I'm amazed he's still in office. What does he have to do to get removed? Declare war on California? It takes a lot more than being a liar or verbally trying to undermine checks and balances to be removed. He hasn't personally been found to have dinner anything yet. It is fun imagining the far right fury if a Democrat said a tenth of what Trump has. The guy has gone so far as to outright ignore vote tallies in a blatant attempt to discredit any opposition. He has implied "true" patriots are loyal to him personally. There is still hope our checks and balances will prevent him from destroying political freedom, but he is trying very hard to get the ball rolling to do just that. Republicans have successfully weaponized the term 'liberal' into a hated caricature. Trump is using that to get his to thralls to call his enemies the enemies of the country. |

| Topic | Trump is a traitor to his own country. |
| Voxwik 07/16/18 8:45:32 PM #36 | Are people seriously unaware of his consistent praise of dictators for their "strength," consistent downplaying of Russian meddling, consistent blatant lying that somehow he gets away with in the face of reality even when his allies call him out on it, and consistent disdain coupled with either a dishonest or delusional attempt to discredit any opposition to him? The man has literally outright lied or is delusional about the popular vote, implying it's fake and continually pushing the blatantly false accusation of mass voter fraud, something even Republicans acknowledge that not only he's wrong about, but that he endangers the entire political process by trying to legitimize it? He lies so much it's tiring. Just a drop in the bucket is his calling anyone who opposes him "Democrats," including Republican-appointed investigators. The man is either a liar or delusional, and the fact anyone is foolish enough to fall for his antics is disturbing. Notice how quickly they turn on any Republicans who oppose what he's doing. He is following all of the classic patterns would-be dictators use. The man literally defended torture, something that anyone that holds real American values should condemn unconditionally like the hero John McCain does. He really should not be underestimated. Sit back and read through his entire Twitter feed (which I read because ignoring him is far more dangerous). The guy is nuts. streamofthesky posted... Confused by this post. Paul Ryan already is a Yes Man speaker for Trump. Sabotaging healthcare has been a goal of his all along. And he's always been open about how much he idolizes Ayn Rand and her philosophy of "f*** every else." My point is even in the face of all that, some of these people still call out Trump. That is how off the rails dangerous Trump is. |
| Topic | Trump is a traitor to his own country. |
| Voxwik 07/16/18 6:13:52 PM #12 | The rollercoaster that is my feelings that my first vote ever was for Paul Ryan's first term is bizarre beyond belief. I went from being blissfully ignorant to shameful to now "well at least he sometimes chooses country over party." I wish he wouldn't retire. The idea of a Trumpian yes-man as Speaker is nauseating. Considering the vile Republican attempts to outright sabotage health care it really emphasizes how horrible Trump really is that I am praising Paul Ryan. Look okay the shameful attacks on John McCain by Trump's thralls. People need to wake up before we have a literal dictator. It is long past time to stop underestimating what Trump is capable of. Decades of alliances and international cooperation are at risk, even beyond the war to delegitimize opposition votes. |

Most of the X games aren't that hard in my opinion, especially if you follow an easier progression of stages. That said options are great! Someone was saying on the Steam boards that MMX3 PC had a hard mode in its original release. Hopefully they offer that too. |
| Topic | Note 9 leaks say it will have a 512gb model |
| Voxwik 06/30/18 5:57:28 PM #4 | That's not that strange looking at storage trends. Until a couple years ago SD card memory was doubling in size every year for the same price. It would be something like 2-4TB by now if the trend continued at the pace it was. I've been using over 100GB on my phone for a few years with SD cards. While I can't imagine using 512GB, it's nice to see technology progress, as long as they don't try and tack out the SD card slot again. Then again Samsung has gotten more Apple-like over the years locking down their devices from people who paid money for them anyway. |

| Topic | Do you still watch Family Guy? |
| Voxwik 06/25/18 6:09:54 PM #41 | Someone tried to get me to watch it by showing a "great" clip where the joke is that a breakfast-making Rube Goldberg machine actually shoots the user with a gun. I found it entirely unfunny and actually gross. It's just not my kind of humor from what I saw. The other Seth MacFarlane movie I saw was an awful cowboy movie with toilet humor basically. Rarely do I hate a movie so much I don't even want to sit through to the end. Again it's just not my type of humor. I'm glad a friend suggested I give The Orville a try because I actually love that. You can tell he really loves Star Trek and sci-fi. I think it is a better Star Trek than Edge Trek: Discovery by a mile. It puts the characters and story before the humor and excels due to that in my opinion. |

| Voxwik 06/23/18 10:13:19 AM #23 | I like both but narrowly choose Final Fantasy VII. Both are examples of the best of that era in my opinion. |

| Topic | four monitors? |
| Voxwik 05/20/18 11:16:26 AM #4 | All I know is the poll is yet another poorly constructed with needless"reasons" added making them mutually exclusive. I technically use three but it has nothing to do with wide screen. I rarely use all three at the same time and one is a TV. It is an awful poll sadly. People really need to avoid putting extra thoughts into the options that are too specific out that go off on a tangent. |
| Topic | Remember when Steam had quality control? |
| Voxwik 05/19/18 12:07:48 PM #62 | I_Abibde posted... And now Steam is attacking anime games. Google up 'Steam anime game ban' for a bunch of different takes on this development. (These games are why I got Steam in the first place, so --) It's disproportionately attacking those games however in general it's an aspect of theocratic/puritanical "sex is worse than gore" nonsense. Freedom is constantly under attack by control-freaks. That can't be forgotten. |
| Topic | Does the guy from the current poll know mp3 or flac? |
| Voxwik 05/16/18 8:41:33 AM #15 | The current poll is an example of the end game doomsday in which there is no such thing as paying once for any piece of media. I don't pay for streaming music services. The Amazon Music app gets one star from me for its unremovable constant blue banner advertising streaming. I buy music from Amazon because I hate iTunes and Google has a pathetic two time lifetime download limit that is a stepping stone in the war against one-time payment licenses. This isn't just a problem with this poll though. GameFAQs polls are very often horribly constructed because they contain far too detailed reasons with the responses. Many polls have mutually exclusive options due to that. |

| Topic | Paul Ryan is quitting |
| Voxwik 04/13/18 12:28:24 PM #65 | kangolcone posted... SushiSquid posted...More accurately, he is not running for reelection. So quitting, just not immediately. My first time voting I asked my brother who to vote for... and it was for Paul Ryan. Years later I felt dumb for that... Go figure even worse people are in power now and Paul Ryan was a potential defense against the attempts to delegitimize elections (it should be way bigger news Trump outright makes up millions of illegal votes). Trump consistently laments the justice department doesn't protect him and go after voices of dissent. This is really bad. It would be a mistake to invoke Germany. This is our own blend of authoritarian takeover but it isn't too late. The president has many millions of people that take his word over factual information. That should scare people way more than it is. |

| Topic | As unlikely as it is, I hope the next Elder Scrolls has |
| Voxwik 04/06/18 6:02:19 PM #36 | One huge deal breaker to me is if they make set player characters or reduce the amount of races you can choose. That works for Fallout 4 since it is a different series. I do not want a voiced protagonist in TES. Revelation34 posted... There are valid complaints about old engines but this one is fine. The only time they should really replace it is if the coding was s*** in the first place like certain online games. That reminds me of EverQuest. They added computer controlled mercenaries. Later they made it so bags can hold more than ten items. Because every item function in the game was programmed with fixed slots in mind, allowing bigger bags took more work than the entirety of the mercenary system... They did not expect that game to run for going on two decades when they made such ridiculous design choices. I think at one point the characters were stored in individual text files on the servers... No database. Obviously ditching the engine made sense for a sequel, which they did. Just both games are still active separately... |
| Topic | As unlikely as it is, I hope the next Elder Scrolls has |
| Voxwik 04/06/18 12:27:42 PM #33 | HihelIy posted... i hope they actually create a new fucking engine and that this new ip they're supposedly working on is just a ruse and it's an engine codename Game engines are not like car parts the only reason to start over entirely it's if it is more expensive to modify than start over. They have actually replaced large portions of it since Morrowind. Windows 10 100% positively has large chunks of code from the first Windows NT, as does any OS from earlier versions. The idea that because code is "15 years old" it should arbitrarily be scrapped is nonsensical. Complaints about Bethesda using old engines are pretty much a meme. |

| Voxwik 03/08/18 11:13:06 PM #38 | EvilMegas posted... keyblader1985 posted...That's irrelevant; violence is wrong for the most part. Sex is harmless and literally keeps the world going. If one wants to argue that violence in games is fine, then the same should hold true for sexual content. I know you're most likely trolling, but come on now. Most deaths are not due to violence. Sex isn't only for reproduction anyway, so the entire subject really doesn't work whatsoever on the topic at hand. |
| Topic | i feel like a pervert watching sex scenes in video games |
| Voxwik 03/06/18 6:15:37 PM #19 | Gratuitously graphic violence is far worse for me. The bizarre imbalance of people accepting that over sex is frankly disturbing to me. To each thier own though. I won't act like the immature folks that pounce when people ask for options to turn down/off gore. You shouldn't have to sit through a sex scene without being able to skip it, but the last thing we need is the Puritan nonsense that infected this country while I grew up. They play porn over the air in parts of Europe at night and have for ages. Here in the USA? "OMG butts or sideboob God will come for us now and this is a national health crisis because reasons!!!!!111" |

I met many people some far worse off than me but others who were former executives etc. For those too mentally ill to hold a consistent job these places provide a community to participate in to avoid isolation. For those who are able to work but need help with job experience and getting on track transitional employment is an amazing gift, and since it is mostly the members doing the work participating is itself some work experience. I'm not ashamed in the least for being a member, even if I don't visit much since I work full time now. My only regret is that it took me seven or eight years to get back on track. Getting over it isn't the point and may be impossible for some. Living with it without it defining you is possible for many. |

| Voxwik 03/06/18 8:08:13 AM #17 | aHappySacka posted... What's with people with annoying gimmicks invading the board recently? While it may be trolling it IS real. I once drove to get a job application to fill out, sat in the parking lot for ten minutes sweating, and then drove home and got under the covers and locked the door. I haven't abandoned groceries but people making fun of it need to realize mental illness is real. Interestingly two things helped me: 1.) My psychiatrist said it might never go away. Indeed illogical fear does flare up sometimes, but knowing it probably won't go away I remember it is illogical and try to deal with it. Not everyone can. 2.) I don't have social anxiety I have agoraphobia, which I learned is not a fear of open spaces but a fear of the unfamiliar. Once in a pattern I'm fine. Without help I wouldn't have a job I love. The IS help out there. |

In this world of straw man arguments (the lie no one stands up for racism against white people) and alternative facts I shouldn't be surprised by overt racism, but I still am. |
