I mean you don't have to pretend two countries are equal and incompariable because it's polite.

Are you trolling, or drunk or something? Where the fuck did I remotely imply that?

You don't have to recuse someone of murder because you commited arson. That's not how reality works.

Are you trolling, or drunk or something? Where the fuck did I remotely imply that?

Sure, but for many condemnation is for the "Antifa rioters", not the far right rioters. That's blatantly lying to defend themselves, and their supporters. I have no idea how much of a percentage individual people in the US or the UK, are covid deniers, or supports of the right wing extremism that cased the terrorist attack on the USA, so I'm can't say which is bigger, but they clearly exist in both countries. Dumb statements like "this country x is better than country y", when both countries suck, should be met with a "who gives a fuck they both suck" not "actually it's not".

Those guys are idiots. Trump is an idiot. A lot of shit is bad in the US. The difference is no one takes it as an attack or lies to defend it. They all accept it. Thats what you can't do.

The UK is worse and all you do is lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and insult and lie and lie to defend it tooth and nail.

Just like the anti vaccine/mask/covid riots that occured across the UK. You lied about those literally as users posted live footage of them occuring.

That's just as much boneheaded nationalism as the dude in a horn hat running around like a goon.

This is factually untrue. Plenty of people in the USA are lying about the attacks on the Capital, they go on and on how it was Antifa and don't right-wing terrorists. They claim that dude in a horn hats actually Antifa.

The UK removed all rights to privacy when they left the EU.

This isn't true. The European Convention of Human Rights currently still applies to the UK, and article 8 of it is the right to privacy. Now I have no doubt the Conservatives are planning to change the law so it doesn't apply, but it currently still does.

Who is being called a terrorist just for "resisting the government"?

Anima, Yojimbo is a close seond.

Odin, FFVIII. Badass. Too bad he was replaced by lame Gilgamesh on the last disk.

If you get Odin after he would have been replaced, you can keep him until the end of the game.

Anima, I love it's design and backstory.

Get a (some) dust filter(s).

"writing randomly" is apparently the counter to the point i'm making.

Is it?

when you're metaphorically suggesting writers to use a shotgun instead of a pistol to hit their target audience, you shouldn't really complain when bystanders are involved in the crossfire and end up criticizing your precious, horrendously written "AAA" games.

Good thing I'm not suggesting anyone use a shotgun to target audience, also I'd suggest you don't commit genocide.

AsucaHayashi posted...

subjective feelings should come naturally as a byproduct of the art. that's why you can't objectively aim to make people "feel" a certain way.

creating something intentionally to "invoke the feels" is pretentious fishing at best and awards whoring at worst.

You think they should just put random stuff together and hope people get feelings from it at the end?

that's why you can't objectively aim to make people "feel" a certain way.

No, you can objectively ensure people feel certain ways because everyone's life and experience is different, but you can certainly aim to make them feel a certain way.

Don't give him ideas.

Trump can't pardon anyone if no one has been charged.

Yes he can. That's how Nixon got a pardon even though their were no charges yet.

Irony posted...

Yes he can, I don't think he can if he doesn't know their names though

He can that's how Jimmy Carter pardoned Vietnam draft dodgers.

Don't you have a sent folder in your e-mail?

AsucaHayashi posted...

stop playing "AAA" games. they have terrible writing because they're designed to invoke "the feels".

even before the writers sit down and pen the stuff they're already salivating at the idea of how much they can make their target audience "feel".

What a strange statement. Making people feel stuff is generally one of the main points of art.

Spanish is a latin language. Also a lot of the Spanish Emperors were descendants of Charles I, who was also Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire which considered itself the successor to the Roman Empire. My understanding is that the Spanish Empire really liked to empathise their connect to Rome due to their connection to the Holy Roman Empire.

Anything can be said without mention Hitler. I wouldn't stand up and say "Hitler was right about one thing, this is a great chicken caesar salad", I could just say it's a great salad.

What about "Hitler was right, to kill Hitler"?

Advanced Wars

Skies of Arcadia

Those were released in 2000/2001, is that really the 90's?

Of that list? 2010s, obviously. They have all the games released in the 2010s, and all the games released in previous decades.

Pokmon, or if it doesn't count, Final Fantasy VII.

Fallout was basically a sequel to Wasteland which was a 1988 game. I don't think their were many developers solely influenced by it, I think a lot of those were influenced just as much by Wasteland.

Baldur's Gate was real time with pause, so I wouldn't count that as turn based.

FF1 timeloop.

This one. It comes out of literally no where and has a major effect on the plot. FF8's "plot twist" is at least a little hinted at by the whole "GFs are rumoured to cause memory loss", and Irvine's gun troubles, and also it doesn't actually effect the plot so it's less a plot twist and more a random background fact.

I have to say that it's strange you only consider the years after the US's formal founding, to be it's history. There was decades of history leading up to it, which effects it.

Young Earth Creationists think it's between 6,000 and 10,000 years old.

Katsu curry is Japanese.

(We can already get curry sauce at McDonald's)

To be fair, Curry got to Japan because it was so popular in the UK. It used by the British Royal Navy, and they introduced to the Japanese Imperial Navy while they were helping to Westernise it in the 1800's.

Fallout: New Vegas was my first game on Steam, as it used Steam as DRM. Mass Effect is the first game I bought on Steam. You can check yours here:

I use an electric razor. One trick to making disposable razors last longer I heard, but never tried out is to rinse/wash them with oil, after using them. Supposedly it gets rid of the water, and therefore prevents them rusting.

Eh, Cleopatra was Greek, not African or anything, wasn't she? Gadot sorta looks like she could be Greek to me.

Yes Cleopatra's family was from Greece. The Ptolemaic dynasty didn't marry locally, they married each other or other Greek kingdoms.

The Last Airbender was a shitty name. I don't think he's really the last one, since they were nomadic, I assume some of them managed to survive the genocide.

IIRC some side story about the series revealed that during Sozin's comet's arrival at the start of the war the Air Nomads were at the temples for some important ceremony, which was why they were all killed. Except one who betrayed the others by revealing how to get to the temples to the Fire Nation and was allowed to live. I could be completely mixing this up with some other stuff though.

It's always been called "Avatar: The Legend of Aang" here in the UK. I think it was because "bender" is sometimes used as a derogatory term for gay people. Before anyone asks, no Bender from Futurama didn't get renamed.

Threadripper = basically a server CPU

And then within those, series 5XXX is the latest and greatest like the 10th gen intel CPUs?

Yes, with the exception of Threadripper which is the "I want the absolute best CPU for consumers regardless of cost". It's closer to a regular CPU than a server cpu.

Edit: Also the 5xxx model isn't released for all of them.

No, Neonoctupus along would makes boobs the number one fetish on CE. Ass probably comes next.

What about the "" key?

It is, it's generally considered the best City Simulator since Sim City 4.

FF_Redux posted...

what is that?

It's a coupon $10 discount to next thing you buy. It's regenerating because when you use it, you get another one. Basically everything is $10 less than they say.

How does it work? Do you have to keep the subscription to keep the games? Is it PC only?

PC only. There's no subscription involved. Epic Games Shop is a online games store similar to Steam or GoG.

Breakfast with Santa, is my guess.

It should do. You can also try to get the Joy-Con repaired.

Sunhawk posted...

I meant joycons along with the middle connecting part.

That's a Joy-Con grip, Nintendo considers it a different piece, and I don't think they sell them with the Joy-Cons. You might be able to get a bundle from a retailer where they sell a Joy-Con and grip together at a discount.

Do you mean buying a pair of Joy-cons together? You can do that:

People mostly seem to prefer Pro controllers due to them having a d-pad, and being (in their view) more comfortable to hold.

SJWs were hired by Capcom to make sure Poison wasn't offensive to them.

Captain Britain is a weird character in the Marvel multiverse, there's a version of him in every universe even one's where the Roman Empire never fell or the Nazi's won WW2. Their main goal is the protection of the multiverse from threats to it, which is pretty different to Captain America.

Wait for more bug fixes.

According to the only study I could find on hard drive life spans, 6 years is fairly pretty old for them. They're study only goes for 4 years, but they think by year 6 half of all hard drives will have died. Of course they are a data backup provider so it's in their interest to make people think their data is more at risk then it is:

Nintendo's games are better and more varied than Ubisoft or EA's. That means they have bigger fans then the other two, particularly with the more hardcore fans, who are the people more likely to discuss video game topics on the internet.
