That's fine. I don't think there's really anywhere bigger to go with the concept as it stands right now.

I'm kinda treating Dr. Strange as an Avengers level movie, really.

*checks watch*

Well.

Why though? I am not saying to purposefully go after younger women (I didn't), but why limit yourself?

Are you asking me a personal question?

RiKuToTheMiGhtY posted...

Most of you saying at my age I have to date single mothers do realize nothing is stopping you from dating younger women right ??

I'm stopping me.

I have and would again. It's largely my reality at my age anyway.

I can't. >.>

I played it once all the way through and I don't think I need to play it again.

Was just going through the Soul Hackers compendium and was reminded that there are a TON of demons in that game that haven't made the transition to 3D.

Like does anyone remember Gally Trot, La Llorona, and Turbo Granny? I'd forgotten.

EDIT: Oh and we definitely need to bring back the Frost Rangers.

I feel like Soul Hackers as an aesthetic has had its time, but maybe they have some new ideas.

At the end of the day, it was just straight SMT with a couple kinks, right? I didn't even remember Loyalty being a thing until I looked it up.

Watched the Geoff Thew video on it last night and will probably go for it.

"I shouldn't have to play as ugly real common people. I want to play as someone from a fantasy."

*dev makes them gay*

"No not like that"

And that's why I consider this a privilege.

There are days where you never know what little pieces of their inner selves people will reveal on these boards. Sometimes it just takes some gentle prodding.

That's what I love about this crazy place.

No you definitely said quite a few things from the heart and I believe you meant every word of them.

You have very much given us your opinion and belief on women.

Both the real women you don't interact with and the virtual women you make demands of.

Wow k darkfire. That was... offensive on quite a few levels.

I mean there are some underpinnings throughout the topic of some of folks here "saying but not saying" things. Implications. Ambiguities. Allusions.

But you sir, have the audacity to say that women don't matter. I applaud the rocks, if nothing else.

And I do this pro bono, and consider it my genuine privilege.

The Forgiveness of Jon

Lol this just seems petty.

Imagine being so afraid of the response you have to anonymously drop an insult in a guide feedback note.

I need to read the next High Republic book. That has interesting ideas.

They've got Jedi having casual sex and shit.

DarkRoast posted...

And it's not necessarily wrong in doing so, given that a common theme in the tangential Star Wars lore is that the Jedi are self-defeating in their obsession with tradition and a humanity-crushing moral code. They essentially create the need for the Sith, who embrace their emotional needs.

I really really wish they went through to a conclusion for this.

It rejects Rey's past. It rejects the "rogue hotshot pilot" motif with Poe. It rejects a deliberately set-up villain in Snoke. It (literally) destroys the Jedi's foundations in order to upend the table of the SW universe in an attempt to rewrite what SW is.

Yes. And I approve of it all. If there's one thing I believe the closing of a massive series like the Skywalker Saga should do, is change its universe. I also believe TLJ ultimately didn't go far enough on its own.

I wanted Rey to join Kylo. Not to join the dark side, but to have the two most powerful most gifted Force users currently in the galaxy to step away from the conflict that ultimately centered so much around them.

To step away from the idea of Jedi and Sith and focus around a new way to interpret the Force and the place for its users in the galaxy.

None of that is necessarily bad, except it doesn't work as a sequel to a movie that explicitly embraced and celebrated those things. It's a middle film for a trilogy that wasn't actually made, and it stands out as perplexingly obsessed with rejecting the first film

I disagree with that. We saw our heroes succeed, then we saw them fail. What I believe the lesson there is that we can never stop growing and changing.

I viewed the Sequel Trilogy as an opportunity for the Star Wars universe to evolve and change into something more complicated, more mature, less pulp, less popcorn.

And they said "Nah. Nostalgia and comfort sell better." And we got that.

That thread is going places.

Nobody ever notices the times when people aren't racist.

Jesus, was looking more into Asmongold and dude seems worse than I thought.

*whistles*

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Again, you based your opinion on him playing a character. But if you knew at all what you were talking about, he doesn't see his persona as Asmongold a 'character'. He never has.

His Ideologies on Asmongold and Zackrawr are one in the same.

Okay, so you're suggesting he's not playing a character in this instance, correct?

If so, then that's all I need to know. Thanks.

QueenCarly posted...

He has from what I recall railed against ideas such as white privilege.

Of the "white privilege is not a thing" rail against?

Doesn't sound great.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

God this topic is either full of trolls or total disgusting human beings.

Honestly my desire for engagement in this discussion increased the moment someone suggested that this "straight facts" clip was in fact not straight facts because it was the streamer playing a character.

Honestly if people confirm to me that this statement comes from the streamer's persona and not him personally, then I think of the streamer himself less poorly, but the problem is then less about the streamer and more about the people trying to convince me how direct and intelligent the streamer is through a commentary he's giving as a character, which I would think people would agree with me somewhat muddies the message being sent.

It's an hilarious contradiction.

Simon_Petrikov posted...

If you click the "Watch Full Video" button, he talks about it for at least another 10 minutes on and off during gameplay. Check it out, if you care to.

If you could do me a solid and confirm whether he stays "in character" or is OOC, that would save me a watch.

Simon_Petrikov posted...

Are you talking about the clip from post# 21?

Yeah that one. The one that ends with "shut the fuck up" to complainers. Or at least I think it's directed at complainers? Or maybe it's just a general "get out of town" to no one in particular.

Now that I've been told this may be a character he's effecting, the message is becoming a lot less distinct.

Which furthers my confusion as to the "facts" that people are touting.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Uh huh.

So you're saying that in the clip he was playing a character? So those opinions don't match what he really thinks?

So why did people use it as his opinion?

Gobstoppers12 posted...

I've played games with a strong variety of women over the years, courtesy of being on an RP server while playing WoW, and lemme tell you... there's no one-size-fits-all take.

One would think this would be an argument for exactly what Kotaku's arguing for. Variety.

Also I won't lie. For the first fifteen seconds of the Asmon clip, I figured he'd be supporting Kotaku's take about lack of options. Instead it slipped into "don't complain about the lack of options because I as a male also don't have options and I'm fine".

And just off the cuff I do find it kinda funny how people drop in with "straight facts, so real, so intelligent" and then when someone has a contrary comment they're like "wait wait wait no no not indicative!"

I'm like... which is it? Is this who he is with his facts and intelligence or is that an off-character out-of-context moment that's non-indicative of who he really is? If it's that non-indicative, why was it brought up?

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Again, not everyone has the time or is bothered to explain the whole personality of a person through text.

Fair, yet I'm often surprised what people do apparently have the time for.

Would you like some videos of him to get more of a flavor for him?

Thanks for the offering, but I'm good.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Your girlfriend isn't the same as all other girls.

Hey now you don't need to tell me she specifically said in her dating profile she wasn't.

Spirit, tell us. Tell us all. What do Korean women want?

Did you know there's an opposite to a "cacodemon"?

It's an "agathodemon".

It stems from the fact that "demon" was a term long ago that more referred to any kind of supernatural being, and not just malevolent ones.

I mean that's all great but...

Nobody provided any examples.

...Except for a vague "calling out Blizzard" on... something.

The fact that people try to end the argument by claiming something they're not proving is what struck me as familiar to Rogan fans.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Because people are telling me I'd like him if I'd watched more of his content. A common thing for people who defend Joe Rogan. That's the comparison.

Do you want me to go into further detail?

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Lol imagine comparing him to Joe Rogan

It was more the commentary that I don't watch him enough to understand how great he is.

What if I don't want to? What if I've seen enough?

Honestly this is literally the first I've heard of Asmongold. Not exactly a heavy MMO streamer follower, assuming that is his thing.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

The dude is freaking smart. He gets so much shit from people who don't even watch him. Yes he sounds like an asshole in out-of-context clips. But take more than 5 minutes to listen to his reasoning and you'll see him more than just another angry dude.

How many episodes of the Asmongold Rogan Experience should I watch?

Asmongold sounds like a fellow with opinions on Aloy in HFW.

Those ammo boxes with tons of rounds in them are something else.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

it seems to be a 'problem' nonetheless to them.

What do you think the world "problem" means?

Oh wow the animations.
