Lurker > Kenri

Don't quote me on this but my understanding is that this game is supposed to have a different story from (or take place slightly after?) the original Kanto games. So that's why the rival, and the main characters, are different.

I am very encouraged about the progress, Sabraw said on Monday, according to the newspaper. This is real progress. Im optimistic that many of these families will be reunited tomorrow.

To which the answer is seemingly "no".

I'm scratching my head at the salt for Awakening/Fates continuing to get more alts. This is selling out as much as Smash is for having more characters from Mario than other series.

i mean people get pretty fuckin salty about alts in smash too, just sayin'

They wouldn't keep whoring out Fates/Awakening if people didn't keep shelling out for them

A bunch of guys I'll never use for a cool one

that's certainly one way of looking at it

the consensus is generally that the trade is not worth it, especially with how annoying keeping your army small is. no one warned you about it because it's usually bad advice to recruit any of them (except Nagi if you use an exploit).

MariaTaylor posted...

now that I'm thinking about it.... I could be remembering it wrong or confusing it with another game, but I think there might also be a third manakete that you can get somehow if you REALLY screw up near the end?

Already on your list! (The 24x character.) I don't think there's anyone else after her.

You also missed Norne, who I thought had a whole gaiden chapter but apparently just joins at the end of the prologue if you lost anyone else besides the decoy.

She's an archer so you didn't miss much.

so uh, when does the Gaiden stuff happen?

Never, if you keep your units alive.

Intermittently if not. You've already missed 2-3 of them, not that it's a big loss (or even a loss at all).

Characters are bland and unmemorable. So's the story though at least that's pretty normal for FE.

I dunno, I think the story's pretty decent in Shadow Dragon. Or at least the writing is.

The side characters are one-note (sometimes literally one-line), but there probably about the same number of interesting main characters/main villains as most of the rest of the series. They're just surrounded by a ton of generic trash.

Are armoured units only in the red variety? If not who are some good blue armoured units?

Effie is decent with certain builds (generally either player phase with Brave Lance+ and Death Blow or enemy phase with Berkut's Lance+ and Distant Counter). Otherwise I think there's really only seasonal units like Christmas Robin and Love Awakens Lyn.

Edit: Also Hardin.

Well if you try to argue that there is no scenario where Americans can be jailed then where does that leave actual criminals?

They could have said "based in any way whatsoever on race" instead of "solely and explicitly", or even better, clearly stated the conditions that DO allow for internment, instead of listing the narrowest exception possible.

But all of those solutions deprive a racist government of power so you can see why they were avoided.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents...

Fuck due process, am I right??

Also invade

Whenever someone claims to want "law and order" you can pretty much just assume what they mean is destroying due process

well yeah, they were "leftist" in a "pro-kerry/obama" way, not in a diehard socialist way. still, there's a difference between that and the alt-right beliefs they have now.

Yeah, this is exactly what I meant. And it's true that there is a huge difference, but to me liberalism -> alt-right still makes a lot more sense than communism -> alt-right.

Mr Lasastryke posted...

it's not just vlado, though. people who used to identify as leftist (ulti, extha) and libertarian/anarchist (muffin) also jumped on the trump train.

this is why i give credit to trump for being good at brainwashing (muffin was probably a little easier to brainwash given his neocon history, but still).

I wouldn't call any of those people particularly leftist at any point in time, though, whereas Vlado was certainly the furthest left person on this board in many respects, for years, and is now one of the furthest right. Like I think you're ultimately right, but it doesn't make as much sense with Vlado as the others for me.

I'm inclined to trust urban-dictionary (as an aggregate) over the dictionary definition of slang and almost all of them reference "male prostitute" and/or compare it to a slur. Many also note that it's only offensive in certain contexts, which I'd probably have guessed anyway given that we're even talking about this right now.

tl;dr: *shrug*

I guess what specific examples have you found of him that you believe to be pandering only to get votes? I'm not saying your wrong, it jus never struck me as true (or more true than in regards to other politicians) for Doug Jones.

I'm not exactly disparaging him, just to clarify. But the whole article came off to me as disingenuous, often intellectually dishonest, pandering, since he has to try to appeal to so many groups with different, often opposed, interests. I'm not sure how else you maintain a coalition like that, but at least be a little self-aware, ya know?

"Yes, we all know that it is not an anti-gay slur nor is it insulting. The intent is not to offend and it is meant to be teasing and part of Mexican folklore. But we also know that when we as Mexicans put our minds to something, we accomplish it. And I know that our Mexican fans in Russia will be abstaining from using this chant, correct?"

Although it's pretty interesting to know that the gays have more power than the Mexicans in the worldwide oppression olympics. Apparently "it's not offensive because it's part of our culture" didn't work as an argument.

Seems like they like to make Summer units have rather underwhelming weapons compared to non-seasonals, which is interesting since you'd think they'd make seasonals OP to entice players to draw on the banners as much as possible

Seasonal weapons are generally inheritable and they're very careful about not making inheritable weapons OP (for whatever reason).

I said "the majority of Trump supporters"

You said 80% of America. I only need to find one person out of that to beat your "if a reasonable person can be deceived" metric, which is already much an incredibly strict definition of what constitutes a lie (since, again, it's a definition that somehow removes the liar from the equation entirely).

You're willing to wager that of the roughly 260,000,000 reasonable people in the US, none of them believe Trump's lies? That's a lot of confidence, I'll admit.

It sounds more like you just excuse certain lies arbitrarily by passing the blame somehow to the people who hear them, as if it's only a lie if you fall for it.
