| Topic | ITT: I briefly review Metroidvanias I've played recently (MV discussion topic) |
| Sonic Cannon 06/28/22 5:35:43 AM #94 | This topic reminded me to play Supraland, which over the past week I have now beaten with 1000g on XSX. Cool little game. It feels janky most of the way through, but the application of metroidvania-style level design and traversal progression is actually very good, and most of the puzzles were just difficult enough to be interesting without getting me stuck. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Are you pro or anti abortion? |
| Sonic Cannon 06/28/22 5:14:48 AM #97 | hockeybub89 posted... There's a billion different laws because things like religion have convinced people they can pick and choose on human rights. There is nothing logical about nuanced abortion laws. Many of them are not based in science (banning abortion before most women could tell) or based on lies (late-term abortions, widespread abortion as birth control, etc).There are definitely thresholds that can be used based on medical realities. e.g. abortions before 23 weeks being unrestricted access, but having stricter criteria beyond that, since 23 weeks is typically the minimum viable age for a preterm newborn to survive in the NICU - albeit usually with serious developmental problems. 23 weeks is kind of a moot point since most hospitals lack the expertise to perform a termination of that gestation, and I've basically never heard of one happening in my country beyond ~20 weeks. Most are like 8-14 weeks. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | I have picked out my kid's names: If It's a girl, Phoebe - if it's a boy, Pheebo |
| Sonic Cannon 06/21/22 5:27:31 PM #4 | Not Phobos? --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | What kind of boobs are these? |
| Sonic Cannon 06/21/22 5:26:19 PM #31 | Longboobs --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | DATING: How do you feel about this girls' interests? |
| Sonic Cannon 06/21/22 5:24:51 PM #63 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] This is the biggest concern on the profile for me. That and "freedom". The rest of it doesn't really interest me but is mostly within the realms of normal. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Game of Thrones getting a Jon Snow sequel series that everyone definitely wanted |
| Sonic Cannon 06/17/22 12:08:30 AM #51 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I would still recommend it to almost anyone, despite the ending being bad. It's a really great show up until somewhere in season 7. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | CE what should I go to college for |
| Sonic Cannon 06/08/22 6:02:11 AM #17 | Norman_Smiley posted... what do you want to do? What sort of life do you dream of having?Yeah this seems like a better starting point. Why are you so sure you want to do further study without knowing what that study would be? --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | You can erase one from existence; Racism, Cancer, Religion or Depression |
| Sonic Cannon 06/08/22 6:00:24 AM #62 | Sczoyd posted... Religion has done a lot of harm in this country alone. It gets weaponized into a tool to control people by corrupt governments, and it's a big reason we have some of the shittiest politicians in the developed world, which ends up hurting people through exploitative healthcare, justice system, education, etc.Yeah I don't think removal of religion is the magic solution that so many ITT seem to think it is. In addition, a lot of people around the world gain a lot of positive life experiences from religion, which can't really be said for the others on this list. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | You can erase one from existence; Racism, Cancer, Religion or Depression |
| Sonic Cannon 06/08/22 2:43:48 AM #14 | Cancer and depression are my #1 and 2. I chose cancer because of how much immediate, and potential long term health gain it brings. It would probably instantly bump life expectancy by 10 years or more in developed nations, and it would take a massive burden off the healthcare system. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Why do people complain about tv/movies being "political now"? |
| Sonic Cannon 06/07/22 5:52:30 PM #28 | Doom_Art posted... Because it upsets them when a piece of media preaches something they disagree with or does something to cast views they hold in a bad lightThis is literally all it is. And maybe they had not paid enough attention before to realise it was all around them. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | When was Anakin/Vader at his peak power? *SPOILERS* |
| Sonic Cannon 06/07/22 5:44:48 PM #11 | I would have thought his peak was during the purge and up through to maybe Empire Strikes Back when Luke kinda made him lose focus. Definitely some intense stories about what he got up to between episode 3 and 4, including the contents of Rogue One. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | How many of these Leftist things do you engage in? |
| Sonic Cannon 06/05/22 4:48:45 PM #11 | I really wish he had kept it as "charge they phone" --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | 4 in 10 Republicans think mass shootings are part of a free society |
| Sonic Cannon 06/05/22 4:14:19 PM #7 | This probably overlaps a lot with the belief that no other country in the world is free, for whatever reason. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | 1000% tax on "assault weapons", by House Democrats. |
| Sonic Cannon 06/05/22 4:01:53 PM #110 | Seems like a dumb policy change. It may delay things for some offenders, but these people are driven by rage or hate and will just save up more money eventually. I agree that these types of firearms are the ones to focus on if your concern is mass shootings, but I don't think this will do anything other than being something else the rep can put on their voting record as "See! I care about gun violence!" --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Internet Explorer retires in 2 weeks |
| Sonic Cannon 06/05/22 3:48:12 PM #32 | Weezy_Tha_Don posted... a lot of systems at my job heavily rely on IE so itll be interesting to see what happens with thatYep I'm in the same situation. And it doesn't reliably work in Edge IE-mode either. OP: I used IE when I started on the internet from about 2001 until I switched to FF in ~2004. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Laura Pausini's and Mika's medleys at Eurovision |
| Sonic Cannon 05/26/22 1:56:39 AM #8 | Mika was probably the best performance of Eurovision 2022 --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Is Attack on Titan the last truly great piece of artwork? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/25/22 3:59:46 AM #21 | Gobstoppers12 posted... You stopped watching like...2-3 episodes too soon.Thanks for answering the question OP kinda dodged. I'll give it another go in a few weeks time I guess. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Gas in bay area cost more per gallon than fed min wage |
| Sonic Cannon 05/25/22 3:56:48 AM #13 | That price is still a little cheaper than what we pay in New Zealand. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | I'm trying to get some parts for a new PC, and looking at cases... |
| Sonic Cannon 05/25/22 2:57:06 AM #6 | Kisai posted... More conveinent than having the drive in the PC itself?Speaking as someone who was wondering the same thing 5 years ago when building a PC: Yes. Unless you are a very frequent user of physical media (like more than a couple times a week imo). Every thing you put in your case is space you can't use for something else. You would usually be better off using that space for another SSD or something. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Is Attack on Titan the last truly great piece of artwork? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/25/22 2:53:35 AM #4 | Is it actually that good? I watched the first few episodes a couple years back and just kind of fell off it. When will I know if I should be enjoying it? --- Keep it green. |

| Topic | Have you had Covid? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/21/22 10:03:48 PM #29 | Just had it 2 weeks ago (Omicron, probably BA.2) --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | The Australian election is being counted tonight |
| Sonic Cannon 05/21/22 9:57:05 PM #33 | The most interesting aspect of seeing this from across the ditch was the shift towards minor parties and independents. I think it's really cool in particular how many historic Liberal seats were lost to "teal independents" - who just seem like a bunch of well educated professional women ho have similar foundations but care a lot more about climate, energy and constitutional stuff. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | You can sleep with one pornstar, who is it? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/21/22 9:51:57 PM #7 | I guess this isn't quite the same question as who is best to watch. Maybe... Angela White, Blake Blossom or Ella Nova. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Jordan Peterson blasts swimsuit model, "sorry you're not beautiful!" |
| Sonic Cannon 05/16/22 7:01:57 PM #38 | Deutschenlied posted... Jordan Peterson the kind of guy to hear someone call their wife beautiful and challenge them to a debate. --- Keep it green. |

| Topic | What are your thoughts on self-checkout lines? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/13/22 6:00:30 PM #49 | googs19 posted... Unless I've got a ton to groceries or a bunch of produce that needs to be keyed in and weighed, I'll use the self checkout.This. I only use staffed checkouts if I have a big or complex cart. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | What is the greatest Butt Rock band, in your opinion? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/13/22 5:59:31 PM #41 | Creed or Breaking Benjamin imo. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night" playthrough topic (SPOILERS) |
| Sonic Cannon 05/13/22 5:27:47 AM #25 | Yeah I would put it on the level of the DS castlevanias. Better in some ways, but not necessarily overall. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Is no man's sky worth buying now? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/13/22 1:55:35 AM #13 | ViewtifulJoe posted... I don't like the idea that they can put out a disaster then ice over it and somehow turn that into good press.Yeah, so you don't buy the bad game (to punish the crappy release) and then when it is good you can buy it (to reward the effort) If you refuse to buy games that have improved, you're basically saying that if a messy game is released the devs should let it remain bad forever. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Is no man's sky worth buying now? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 11:44:23 PM #11 | ViewtifulJoe posted... Well at least don't continue to help it.I don't think I follow your logic. Are you saying people shouldn't try a thing that is good, because it used to be bad? --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Is no man's sky worth buying now? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 11:11:52 PM #2 | On PC (or xbox) you can get it on game pass. It is a cool thing. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Why does Sony continue to sit on their greatest franchise? Twisted Metal. |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 11:09:49 PM #31 | Honestly? It hasn't been good for a long time. --- Keep it green. |

| Topic | What does CE think of Borderlands 3? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 8:18:38 PM #5 | I have the same question. A group of my friends all played BL2 on launch and enjoyed it quite a bit, along with the first set of DLC stuff with the season pass. But we never played TPS or BL3. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Have you personally ever seen abortion protesters protesting outside of abortion |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 7:53:20 PM #39 | Yes, in New Zealand. When I lived in Dunedin there were a small group (usually 2 or 3 people) who would stand outside the main entrance to the hospital on some Friday mornings with signs that had photos of fetuses. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night" playthrough topic (SPOILERS) |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 7:49:24 PM #20 | I went with the English voices for everything and thought it was fine. Camp, but self aware. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | I just can't get into Arkham Knight. Spoilers |
| Sonic Cannon 05/12/22 7:47:36 PM #20 | Yeah I did play Mad Max about 2 years ago and platinumed it. Fairly good game, but a handful of parts I found frustrating or dull from memory. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | I just can't get into Arkham Knight. Spoilers |
| Sonic Cannon 05/11/22 6:33:16 PM #14 | I basically 100%ed Arkham Asylum and City (aside from some of the high difficulty challenges), but never played Knight. Is it worth it? --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Why does the right-wing all of a sudden love Russia? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/11/22 6:16:44 PM #9 | Trumble posted... Because that's what the conspiracist crowd is currently pushing - most likely as a result of Russian influence. Many of the people praising Russia now are the same ones who were the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers last year.I have seen this first hand through the conspiracy antivax telegram chats I joined last year. A lot of the messaging in there has turned into pro-Russia, pro-war in Ukraine stuff. Same users. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night" playthrough topic (SPOILERS) |
| Sonic Cannon 05/11/22 6:11:34 PM #3 | What made you choose this as your first? I like the game though. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Anyone got a rare disease here? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/11/22 6:00:26 PM #39 | ToadallyAwesome posted... Ive met more than a few doctors that think its just in my head or linked to stress"Just in your head" is a pretty non-charitable description imo. It's very possible to get somatic symptoms from a psychological origin, and that doesn't make it any less "real." This is the same kind of group of problems I was hinting towards. It is usually a long process to figure out what else might be involved, and often there is no formal diagnosis that fits at all. But sometimes fixing another problem can help with this one. Medically unexplained symptoms like yours can sometimes be pinned down to a specific organic cause if the right person thinks of the right set of investigations to do, but sometimes they can't. If not, some people find success approaching in a different way: treating it as a "bodily distress syndrome" and getting linked in with a psychologist and/or psychiatrist. Denmark in particular has a good body of research on this. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | TES Oblivion had minotaurs? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/10/22 2:39:51 AM #2 | Yeah, I got rekt by them in my first playthrough back in 2006 because I didn't level efficiently. --- Keep it green. |
| Topic | Anyone got a rare disease here? |
| Sonic Cannon 05/10/22 2:34:40 AM #32 | Allergies and autoimmune disorders would be considered in the very first visit with a gastroenterologist for those kinds of symptome. No way have they not been considered. There's a lot of unknown/indistinct stuff that can cause unexplained GI symptoms or abdo pain like that though. Some rare intestinal motility disorders, and it's also pretty common to get them as part of a pain syndrome or functional neurological disorder. --- Keep it green. |
