| Topic | I've never played the old Final Fantasies, but they look like garbage gameplay |
| Herugrim 10/03/18 10:36:09 PM #22 | Final Fantasy was always average at best. That's what happens when instead of developing your engine with each title you simply scrap most of it and randomly generate new mechanics to try and made each title different. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Sonic Mania is a great reminder of how awesome Sonic is. |
| Herugrim 10/03/18 7:35:25 PM #38 | Sonic Mania is terribly overrated. It's okay but it's really just a remix. You're much better off playing the originals (the retro engine pales in comparison). Some of the 3D games are good, the high points are great but there are some lows. It mainly seems Sega just doesn't want to make Sonic games anymore so they keep trying to turn him into something else. But Generations was great, and forces looks solid though I haven't played it yet. The Adventure Games and 06 had some ups and downs but mostly I enjoyed each of them. The older games were great and they've aged well but making new Genesis games instead of Updated HD games just seems lazy. They didn't even try with Mania. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | should all men have a 9pm curfew so females can feel safe at night? |
| Herugrim 10/03/18 12:44:22 PM #124 | I'm sure the criminals and rapists would obey the curfew and stay inside. X.X --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | You'll never guess what Millenials are killing this time >_> |
| Herugrim 09/25/18 1:08:18 PM #5 | Less people are getting married in general. Less marriages means less divorces. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | We're currently in the silver age of video games. |
| Herugrim 09/25/18 1:04:43 PM #13 | Acting like 'golden/silver' is a connotation of quality. Like it or not the Golden age was the original (atari/Commodore era). The silver age was the bit wars (Nintendo/Master System to the PS1/N64) transitioning into the Bronze Age (PS2/XBX to PS3/360). I would consider the current age the millenial age as games become more political and the AAA franchises stagnate while gamers look more to the indy market for new stuff. Of course to PC gamers it would all just be history. I've enjoyed gaming in each generation but lately things are stagnating. I'm getting very tired of Soulsborne clones and designers making everything as grindy as possible. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Too many people don't get the difference between racism and... |
| Herugrim 09/25/18 12:57:02 PM #21 | Doesn't help that there is no such thing as systemic(etc...) racism. The implication that black people serve longer prison sentences because of internalized racism is fallacious. Inner cities are sources of the highest crime rates and they are largely populated by people of color, resulting in many of them being repeat offenders. The theory doesn't take criminal history into account. It also doesn't account for the fact that the majority of prisoners in the united states are white, as are the majority of the homeless and the unemployed. White people are both making the most money, and making the least. It is because they are the majority, not because of 'implied' racism. Systemic racism was a concept invented by the equality of outcome crowd, people who intentionally ignore specific sets of correlating data to get their desired outcome rather than a factual one. The same crowd that insist there's a wage gap by intentionally omitting data about how many hours women work on average or what line of work they are in. The same group that claims there's a pink tax while completely ignoring that feminine products are made out of different materials (generally more expensive) than masculine products. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | are millenials killing religion too? |
| Herugrim 09/25/18 12:48:45 PM #9 | You would have to kill billions of people to wipe out Islam alone. Religion isn't going anywhere. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | What don't you get about evolution? |
| Herugrim 09/03/18 6:41:23 PM #48 | dolomedes posted... Herugrim posted...If humans evolved from Apes, then why are Apes still Apes? So humans can mate with apes then? I mean, if we're the same species, shouldn't that be a thing? Cause I'm pretty sure Humans and Apes are Anthropoids, not that Humans are Apes. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | The strong female lead narrative needs to die |
| Herugrim 08/14/18 3:43:36 PM #102 | The narrative needs to die, yes. Strong female leads, like any strong lead, works if it's well written and performed. When the entire character is "Look! Strong Woman!" it universally leads to shit. Wonder Woman = the right way Rey from Star Wars = the wrong way Sarah Connor from the Original Terminator = right way New Ghostbusters = the wrong way Ridley from OG Alien = the right way Oceans 8 = the wrong way --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | 'Voltron' goes gay and reception has been overwhelmingly positive |
| Herugrim 08/09/18 4:37:10 PM #61 | Gay? Ptch, tame ****. Should've been this:  --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
