Let me maybe try a different tactic

Gender is INVENTED.

Can you imagine a world where your gender is just what roles and appearance you want to have in society and has nothing to do with your genitals?

But why are we accepting your axiom that gender is invented? Just because less than 1% of people do not ascribe to gender norms?

Because gender norms change. They vary from culture to culture. There's nothing inherent about them to our species. A hundred years ago pink was the masculine color and blue the feminine. It's memetic, cultural marketing en masse.

yeah I dunno. nothing I saw justifies why we're losing our characters and gears and stuff. I'll see what people say when they actually play it, but the impression I got from this presentation is that this should have just been a 3.0 patch or something.

Well you're keeping your character. But the real reason is they're moving to a different engine and way of making things that's much easier than the old - from what I recall, the old development process required an overnight rebuild every time they wanted to so much as move a rock.

I mean, there was nothing really wrong with the UI, so keeping that is fine. The big problems were in story presentation and lack of variety in how you get things, both of which were addressed to an extent in the expansions.

Oh yeah, tomorrow's the gameplay reveal for Destiny 2. I'm prettt excited. They've got the director of Taken King in charge of this one, and that was the expansion that took the biggest steps in correcting errors the vanilla game made. Also I've put more hours into D1 than any game since...probably since I started having the disposable income to buy more games than I have time to play.

7. Mal meets Kaylee (while she's banging his mechanic)
I suppose the foreshadowing was there that Kaylee didn't really mind getting frisky when she told Simon that she didn't care for 'propriety'

I seem to remember an audio commentary or some such where Jewel Staite said she really had been playing Kaylee as innocent as she'd seemed, until she got this script and realized there was some more kink going on there. Culminates in some really good lines down the road a ways. Makes me think of the "kinda gay" vampire Willow from the Wishverse episodes of Buffy, accidental foreshadowing (or in this case probably not so accidental on the writers' part).

Final Fantasy XI is fifteen years old today. To celebrate, anyone who subscribed in the past and migrated their data to a Square-Enix account can play free through the 29th, while people who've never played can get a two-week trial account with a max level of 50 and only vanilla areas available.

Speaking as someone whose income makes it difficult to justify an MMO subscription (or two; would love to be playing XIV as well) this is awesome.

In any event, Hero's Shade is confirmed to be OoT Link so TP Link can't be his reincarnation.

Where is this confirmed?

Hyrule Historia, page 118
The spirit of Link's ancestor, the Hero of Time, teaches him his secrets. Ever since returning to the Child Era, the swordsman has lamented the fact that he was not remembered as a hero. This is the reason he passes down the proof of his courage and his secret techniques to the Link of this era, addressing him as "son."

They went out of their way to say Wind Waker Link is not a reincarnation. That makes me think that reincarnating is the norm

Who is they and when did they say it? Was it in the game WW?

IIRC the boat fucker says it to not-jabu jabu

It's when they're speaking the ancient tongue, so you can only read the convo on your second playthrough

Exact line is: "The one I have brought with me has no connection to the legendary one. And yet I sense great promise in the courage that this one possesses. "

Something about WW Timeline being the branch of Link defeating Ganon which Link then leaves to return to his childhood and form the TP branch, so Link's spirit would have "left" the WW branch.

creativename posted...

Lots of people think WW Link is just a random kid.

I never played WW so I can't comment.

But Link is also reincarnated in ST, isn't he? And if his spirit 'leaves' the WW branch then surely Zelda's would also, and she's there.

No, Zelda stays behind when she sends Link back in time at the end of OoT.

In any event, Hero's Shade is confirmed to be OoT Link so TP Link can't be his reincarnation.

So I took up playing Pokémon TCG Online on my wife's iPad recently. Nothing too serious, just a bit of a time-waster when nothing else is going on. Had the most terrible luck getting energy draw the last couple games, but the one before my opponent did too. We say there for six turns with my Torkoal doing a no-damage burn attack because I couldn't get the energy for body slam while his Volcanion did a 20 damage attack because he couldn't get the energy for whatever his other attack was.

Eventually my Singe won out and he conceded.

From just a paragraph below that

"See, they believe the way your name is printed on legal documents refers to a fake version of you the government cooked up to make money somehow."

This sounds like what SHM has already said she believes.

It is. I've actually seen my own brother share that sort of thing around Facebook, though it's unclear how much he actually believes and how much is just his anti-authoritarian streak reflexively enjoying anything of that ilk, true or not.
