| Topic | I remember when people really did not like Metroid Fusion SPOILERS |
| TheOtherMike 08/06/21 7:08:03 PM #25 | TheChariot posted... The Metroid vaccine worked because the Metroids were designed to kill the X-virus. X can't feed on them, but they can feed on the X. The X aren't a virus. Regardless, injecting Metroid DNA into Samus to inexplicably make her able to "absorb" free-floating X is convoluted and nonsensical. It doesn't logically follow that Samus would take on Metroid properties because of a "vaccine" that incorporates their DNA unless you don't know how vaccines work. TheChariot posted... I don't see a problem with any of this. The Federation is an intergalactic government. Of course it's evil/corrupt. It's bad and convoluted. If you don't mind that then that's fine, but my point was that it's bad and convoluted. These were intended to be "twists," but they're obvious from miles away, and Adam especially is just nonsensically shoehorned in. It's bad writing. |

And exclusively to lay the groundwork for the game to then tell the story without narrative interruptions. TheChariot posted... "Too much dialogue." You mean it had a story unlike the other games? Ye gods! What a crazy concept! M2 and SM are master classes in visual storytelling. |

| TheOtherMike 08/06/21 6:01:01 PM #18 | nfearurspecimn posted... the way Fusion was linear and suspense building actually worked No it didn't. nfearurspecimn posted... The monologues were short and sweet and to the point and added character to Samus without turning her into some delicate little flower that needs Adam to patronize her etc. The monologues are antithetical to Metroid. Kim_Seong-a posted... But how is the story in anyway convoluted? Introduction of a new "most dangerous species in the universe" that just happens to infect Samus. The infection is cured by injecting Metroid DNA into Samus, because reasons, even though there's no way that would actually work and no reason to think it would. The AI that Samus names Adam turns out to literally be Adam. The Federation is eeeevil. Like, literally none of it makes sense and is deliberately played up for drama in a series that, until then, was reasonably grounded sci-fi. |

| Topic | I remember when people really did not like Metroid Fusion SPOILERS |
| TheOtherMike 08/06/21 5:15:32 PM #11 | It's a bad game. Nearly everything Other M did wrong, Fusion did wrong first. Overly linear, Adam telling you what to do at every turn, terrible overly convoluted story, no sense of isolation. Literally the only thing Fusion did right was the sense of dread being stalked by the SA-X, but that's not even close to enough to outweigh everything else the game did wrong. |

Sadly, he died in 2008, less than a year after his first son was born. Married again in 2014, shortly before he died of cancer. Married again last December. We're very happy together. |

There are currently no Trek series set in this era, with only one upcoming series that will be. Out of Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Brave New Worlds, and Prodigy, only one is set around the ToS era. |

| Topic | Transmen Are Triggered Over Lil Nas X Saying He Likes Dick |
| TheOtherMike 07/28/21 11:27:47 PM #145 | "Latinx" being used a few times on Facebook is hardly traction. It's more of a trend, and a benign one, like rainbow filters. Honestly I've never played DoA in my life so I don't really have the experience to discuss it, but ultimately it's up to the developers if they want to listen to fans and/or agitators about the aesthetic. Sounds like capitalism to me. Counterpoint: Westboro Baptist and NAMBLA have gained no traction, despite existing and being vocal for decades. Generally with social issues the cause decides the traction, not just some nobody yelling about it. Talks of marriage equality started with a vocal minority, but it gained traction because the cause was just. Meanwhile no one is trying to legalize men marrying boys or bestiality despite vocal minorities, because that would be child and animal abuse. |

| TheOtherMike 07/28/21 11:10:19 PM #141 | mooreandrew58 posted... Well this is a silly example but them toning down sexualized females in a game like doa. Like who plays doa outside of people wanting to see sexualized women in a game. The whole latinx thing that even most hispanic people never cared about. I'm sure I could find more but ive got better things to do than convince you. How are those problematic? One is an aesthetic issue that's ultimately up to the developers, and the other you flat out say Hispanic people don't even care about. Either way, my only point has been that this one person doesn't represent or speak for all trans men, and that was the point you originally took issue with. |

| TheOtherMike 07/28/21 10:44:54 PM #133 | mooreandrew58 posted... No the difference of opinion is that I feel even a vocal minority can be problematic And I asked you for examples. I didn't express an opinion about that. |
| Topic | Transmen Are Triggered Over Lil Nas X Saying He Likes Dick |
| TheOtherMike 07/28/21 10:42:51 PM #131 | You said we have a difference of opinion. The only opinion I've expressed is that trans men are not a monolith. How else do you expect me to interpret that? |
| Topic | Transmen Are Triggered Over Lil Nas X Saying He Likes Dick |
| TheOtherMike 07/28/21 10:39:33 PM #129 | Ok. So you believe trans men are a monolith, because the only opinion I've expressed is that they are not. |

| TheOtherMike 07/28/21 10:31:45 PM #126 | mooreandrew58 posted... I said vocal minorities tend to get more traction than the silent majority. Therefore these people can potentially be problematic. Such as? mooreandrew58 posted... The other point isnt worth discussion cause I never implied it was more than just a vocal minority just that it was more than 1. The topic title did. Why do you take issue with me and others referring to this as "one trans man" but don't take issue with the topic treating trans men as a monolith? mooreandrew58 posted... As said in previous post im done here cause clearly your far more heated about this than you try to imply I am. I'm not heated. Pointing out your refusal to have a discussion while claiming to want a discussion is not "heated." Nor did I ever imply you were. You're literally making shit up now to avoid discussion. mooreandrew58 posted... And thus I won't convince you of anything as all you'll do is dig your heels in deeper. What are you even trying to convince me of? What am I digging my heels in about? |

And in the interest of "discussion," you chose to latch onto the obvious hyperbole, and not the actual points of discussion in my post. You ignored those. Remove the word "cry" and nothing changes. "Cry" is obviously hyperbolic, and your refusal to acknowledge that fact or respond to the actual points of discussion in my post only proves that you aren't interested in a discussion at all. TheOtherMike posted... "One," while obviously an exaggeration, is far closer to reality than "transmen" as a monolith who are all "triggered." TheOtherMike posted... The point is that these people are so few that they're insignificant. Respond to these if you're actually interested in a discussion. |

"One," while obviously an exaggeration, is far closer to reality than "transmen" as a monolith who are all "triggered." mooreandrew58 posted... And if you don't think every group has their sheep that will just latch on to and parrot an opinion cause they cant be bothered to think for themselves. Of course there are. Those are the retweets/likes you're crying about. The point is that these people are so few that they're insignificant. |
