Ahhh ok. Thanks for the heads up, was looking for a debate. I'll stop posting then in this topic, probably.

Honestly, I'd like for there to be some reasonable pro trump people in here, because people like ulti tend to take over and stink up the joint, and vlado/corrik/mwc tend to just ignore earnest arguments

They remember Obama(2009-16) had 8 years and when he went up there he said barely anything of consequence, basically talked people to sleep because he was so likeable and what he said SOUNDED good. Sounded good but did nothing to help normal people once the speech was done

What do you mean by normal people?

average Americans. Can you remember a single Obama speech from when he was actually president?(not Yes we can, that was 2008 during campaign) Any inspiring quotes?

I can't remember any Obama speeches, but I can't remember any Trump ones, either

You just seemed to be saying something about people who were confused by Obama's words, though

Man I can't believe you actually believe he did anything wrong. I mean I know you've gotten a little kooky the last few years but jeez.

Just use your ignore list

This is the one thing about the traditional forum structure that is worse than upvote/downvote systems, or even Facebook reaction systems- everything looks legit, and seems to require a response, even the crazy

Guarantee if you could just tally a 'dislike' on a post and move on, and the post grays out or something if it hits a certain negative volume, quality of discussion would go up.

Currently, if someone comes in and posts 'brown people are bad' or some other blatant lie, someone has to come in and disagree because otherwise the whole board looks awful. With a downvote system you can exert your disapproval without adding fuel to the fire/food to the troll

Honestly Corrik, if you think that is too aggressive for a journalist I don't know what to say. One would have to have a pretty thin skin to not be able to deal with those basic questions.

BREAKING: PROTESTS CALLED FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 5 PM LOCAL TIME
Donald Trump has installed a crony to oversee the Special Counsel Trump-Russia investigation, crossing a red line set to protect the investigation. By replacing Rod Rosenstein with just-named Acting Attorney General Matt Whittaker as special counsel Robert Mueller's boss on the investigation, Trump has undercut the independence of the investigation. Whittaker has publicly outlined strategies to stifle the investigation and cannot be allowed to remain in charge of it. The Nobody Is Above the Law network demands that Whittaker immediately commit not to assume supervision of the investigation. Our hundreds of response events are being launched to demonstrate the public demand for action to correct this injustice. We will update this page as the situation develops.

lol

What's funny?

Flash protests spose to happen if Meuller is fired is being called for. It's funny.

That's just factually incorrect, or "fake news". They were to happen if Mueller or Rosenstein were taken off of the investigation.

Trump is revoking Jim Acosta's press pass:
https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1060331883077296128

dont blame him

Acosta: Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on

Trump: Well thats true. They werent actors. They werent actors. Well no its true. Do you think they were actors? They werent actors. They didnt come from Hollywood. These were peoplethis was an actual, you know, it happened a few days ago and

Acosta: They are hundreds of miles away, though. They are hundreds and hundreds of miles away. That is not an invasion.

Trump: Honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN, and if you did it well, your ratings would be much better. Thats enough. Thats enough.

Acosta: One more question

Trump: Thats enough. Thats enough.

Acosta: If I may go ahead, on the Russia investigation, are you concerned that you may have indictments

Trump: I am not concerned about anything with the Russia investigation because its a hoax. Thats enough, put down the mic.

Acosta: Are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation?

Trump: Ill tell you what, CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person and should not be working for CNN. Go ahead.

Acosta: I think thats unfair.

Trump: You are very rude. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldnt treat people that way.

is this the exchange you're talking about?

Yeah, these results were what the pollsters were predicting.

It would have been absolutely terrible if Democrats hadn't gotten that 50.1% majority in the house. Another two years with 100% of the power held by trump's Republicans was not something I was looking forward to

Now, at least, we won't have to rely on dramatic gestures by a John McCain equivalent to keep things like health care alive

6 = 7 > 10 > 8 > 9 > 12 > 5 > 15 > 13

6, 7 and 10 are the only ones I'd universally recommend to people

8 or 9 I'd recommend if you generally like jrpgs

12 and 5 were lackluster narratively, but had interesting combat systems

15 and 13 felt like they had incomplete or rushed scripts, and 13 is the only one I'd call bad instead of just neutral

It's her body corrik why is this so hard for you. The father made the choice even with protection to have sex knowing full well there is always a chance. As a father you're responsible for whatever choice she makes you dont get any say because it's not your body

This might sound crazy, but I think men should be allowed to get financial (or whatever you want to call it) abortions, where they give up all rights and responsibilities to the fetus

the rules and norms were designed in a world where women weren't supposed to do certain things and it was considered super important for a Man to provide for a kid. I think it's outdated

I don't think it's exactly an indicator of ff9 strength

Vivi was not only the best character in that game by a mile, but he is so iconic to the final fantasy franchise as a whole that he absorbs a lot of its incidental strength

Black mages are probably more popular/iconic than chocobos or moogles

Low anti-voting, etc

I didn't think the game had viral rally strength like undertale- I had her losing in the first round.

The argument was that, similar to undertale, the fourth wall breaking elements of the game would inspire enough fanaticism to get players to care enough to vote

i worked at a donut place when i was a teenager. yeast donuts are definitely more iconic

at first they were my favorite, but by the end i found my tastes had migrated to the plain cake ones

one type is just pure sugar bomb, the other is rounder, has a more even taste, and goes with coffee/milk/other food better

By myself, absolute top would be $50 plus tax, tip, drinks, although I can't ever remember doing that

When it comes to taking other people out, that number jumps dramatically. Maybe $150 to absolute maximum $300 per person for an anniversary or something

My attitude is to generally- once I'm in the place- pay whatever they ask, and if the number is too high I'll just never come again. Gotta screen the place ahead of time

Realistically, a lot of amazing places sit around a $50-90 range

Answering this question incorrectly, but I started making a list.

A lot of my answers will also require traveling back in time to when the games were new, because part of the appeal was how novel the gameplay and graphics were. Or at least the faults were more forgivable then

Narratively driven games get bonus points, because I dont get a lot of enjoyment out of replaying them- the mystery is gone. Playing them again "fresh" has the greatest comparative benefit

ff7, ff6, mgs, knights of the old republic 1/2, sonic adventure, starcraft: brood war, mass effect trilogy, super Mario 64, super Mario bros 2/3, halo, portal 1/2, witcher 3, chrono trigger, maybe dark souls, morrowind, maybe assassin's creed 1/2/brotherhood. Escape velocity: override.

Donkey Kong country. Star wars: droidworks. Zoombinis. Star wars episode 1. Heroes of might and magic 3. Spyro, maybe.

Anything involving those ps1 demo discs.

1) This kind of excessive overtime shit is well documented in the industry working for big devs. If you take a position with one of these guys and you don't think something along these lines is going to happen at some point, you're dumb for not doing your research.

so you're sayin... they were askin' for it, they knew what they were getting into, etc etc

i mean yes, you can be aware that a bad situation is likely, but that doesn't mean it's okay

this is parallel to getting mugged in a bad part of town. you could argue "well, you should've expected to be mugged if you went there at night", but that doesn't make it okay to mug people.
