| Topic | Communist symbols as offensive as Nazi symbols? |
| Sahuagin 11/08/18 8:31:31 PM #38 | _AdjI_ posted... Communism itself is just a financial theory. it's more than just theory since there are *instances of it*. it's only just theory if you want to sweep the real thing under the carpet. --- |
| Topic | Communist symbols as offensive as Nazi symbols? |
| Sahuagin 11/08/18 12:49:16 AM #29 | _AdjI_ posted... darkknight109 posted...That being said, the communists were generally more equal-opportunity-slaughterers where the Nazis opted to single out specific groups for butchery - specifically Jews, non-whites, the Romani, and gays (as well as leftists and intellectuals, if we're counting those imprisoned and killed for their opinions rather than for who they were). Accordingly, that's how their symbols are frequently used today - Nazi symbols are used by hate groups to rally for white supremacy, while Communist symbols are usually used to agitate (sometimes violently) for equality and economic change. Hence why communist symbols are generally more tolerated than Nazi iconography. communism targets a group, it's just not (necessarily) a racial group, it's whoever is determined to have "power". in Soviet Russia it was the Kulaks (rich farmers). maybe you could say that the communists had a relatively small genocide that just happened to directly lead to astronomical death rates due to famine (which is what happens when you slaughter all of the most competent farmers in the country), whereas the nazis had a significantly larger genocide. then I suppose the nazis were technically worse, but that's not saying much. --- |

| Topic | Bonus level/Boss music |
| Sahuagin 11/07/18 11:29:26 PM #15 | boss theme from Might and Magic X, which I learned is originally from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. this version is slightly different from M&MX, but both are awesome and the M&MX one isn't posted anywhere.  one of the best bonus themes EVER is from the game Cool Spot, written by Tommy Tallarico  also has a good remix (the first time I heard it, helped me pull an all-nighter writing a "group" software engineering project all by myself)  --- |

| Topic | can someone explain the diablo outrage to me |
| Sahuagin 11/04/18 2:16:57 AM #24 | I mean... it's not like Diablo is all that deep or something. Diablo and its clones are already considered some of the most mindless clickfest gaming there is. I don't really like the push for mobile either, but the game they're doing it with does makes at least some sense. --- |
| Topic | How many systems do you own? |
| Sahuagin 11/04/18 2:12:13 AM #56 | DPsx7 posted... They do but I'd imagine the 2 sensor bars would interfere with each other. the "sensor bar" is just 2 small infrared lightbulbs, with the end of the wiimote being an infrared camera. as long as the camera can't see both sets of lights, it should be ok. (for a fun trick, take a digital camera and view the sensor bar with it and you can see the infrared lights) --- |
| Topic | Explain how law and morality aren't the same thing? |
| Sahuagin 11/04/18 2:09:44 AM #58 | Zeus posted... a callous disregard for not only your welfare but the welfare of everybody around you right... Zeus posted... you're talking about a regular dinner-time activity which, again, is how heavier abuse starts no, I happened to buy a few at our end of season sale at work, but I don't normally drink anything. I don't generally like the effects because I prefer having my wits about me. Zeus posted... ...because we're literally talking about an addictive substance where the choice to use is inherently immoral given the possible consequences. The decision to engage in the behavior at all is immoral. And you're defending this through false implication where you pretend that fault only exists at the high end of the spectrum rather than the decision to engage in the spectrum. "fault only exists" once fault is made. fault, as in direct harm to others. there are all kinds of potentially dangerous activities that are not actually dangerous if performed responsibly. saying that drinking a single drink is *immoral* because drinking many drinks *may* lead to immoral behaviour is asinine. --- |
| Topic | Explain how law and morality aren't the same thing? |
| Sahuagin 11/03/18 10:30:45 PM #53 | Zeus posted... Alcohol is a dangerous vice with a tremendous potential for not just self-harm, but harming others as well. It's closely tied to domestic abuse, rape, violence, and criminal misconduct. Knowing everything we do today about the immense harm caused by alcohol, the decision to imbibe is a reckless, amoral act. And I should add that virtually *every* substance abuse problem started small. Many years ago, my friend's ex used to have a single beer at dinner... and then that gradually grew until one day he was drunk out of his skull and threatening his wife and newborn with a knife. He's been in and out of both prison and rehab since then. so, your nearly a week lake claim is that it was literally immoral for me to have consumed a single alcoholic beverage? (notice you said 'amoral' rather than 'immoral', is that the trick?) otherwise your argument is just a slippery slope fallacy, whoop-de-do --- |
| Topic | NES games you've played that people almost never mention anymore |
| Sahuagin 11/03/18 4:02:12 PM #62 | LOLIAmAnAlt posted... _AdjI_ posted...wpot posted...aren't 75% of NES games not talked about anymore? there seem to be 2005 NES games listed here in gamefaqs's DB, but that must include famicom games, since it drops to about 1203 if I say region: north america. not sure what the remaining difference is composed of. probably partly duplicates, hardware, not sure what else. --- |
| Topic | NES games you've played that people almost never mention anymore |
| Sahuagin 11/02/18 11:48:08 PM #31 | Xexyz. It's a game I played while recuperating as a kid from a broken leg and other injuries from a skiing accident. My glasses were broken in the accident so I had to play it without them. random other ones include: Batman: Return of the Joker Dick Tracy Fantasy Zone Hook Rambo T&C Surf Designs Tiny Toon Adventures (good game) Total Recall Xenophobe Yo Noid Yoshi's Cookie (good game) Some that are on the NES but I played a different version: Uncharted Waters Mario is Missing Spy Hunter almost Thexder but I played the second one on PC --- |
| Topic | Are ectopic pregnancy procedures considered a type of abortion? |
| Sahuagin 11/02/18 4:23:51 PM #2 | medically, the term "abortion" includes miscarriages, so yes as far as I know. in terms of political stances, though, "abortion" means "manual abortion" or "unnatural abortion", and in that case, no. --- |
| Topic | need a none of the above option |
| Sahuagin 11/01/18 9:49:01 PM #20 | SSJzak posted... Not really excited for any of these games. usually I feel the same, but still, there must be one that you're slightly more excited for than the others (or at least slightly more not-excited) --- |
| Topic | Sometimes I spew liquid and gas at the same time. |

| Sahuagin 11/01/18 8:32:00 PM #14 | pedro45 posted... In the sense it's a carb. sugar is literally fast-absorbing-energy. it *does* give you energy, it's just short-lived. and for kids, it'll last a little longer than for adults, but both of them will have a crash if that's all they ate. --- |
| Topic | Do you have a 4k tv yet? |
| Sahuagin 11/01/18 8:29:07 PM #25 | I owned one for like two days, but it had horrible discolored vertical stripes, so I returned it. DoubleOSnake posted... do you notice a big diffference with 4k? with 1080, things are clear at the macro level, but if you look at the fine detail, that's where things get a little pixelated and blurry. with 4k, it's more or less just as clear at the macro level, but if you look at the fine detail, it's that clear, too. --- |

| Topic | What are your 3 favorite indie games? |
| Sahuagin 10/30/18 8:35:11 PM #38 | Dikitain posted... It probably depends on the relationship the publisher has with the development team. A non-indie team would be where the publisher has a lot of say in what, when, and how a game gets released. An indie team would essentially complete the game themselves, and sell it to publishers for more distribution options. In that sense, Steam would even be considered a publisher since they offer a storefront for buying games, and pretty much every indie game listed here is available on Steam or some other digital distribution platform. well I don't disagree much, but this just seem to make the concept even more blurry to me their mission statement is basically offering a way for indie games to be distributed I read that too and it just sounds like a contradiction. I guess it implies that they will have no say in the creative process. for Steam, it's a marketplace, not a publisher, and definitely not someone with creative input or financial support. I guess it's just yet another poorly defined gaming related term, like RPG (and to the degree that it doesn't even mean what it says). --- |
| Topic | Explain how law and morality aren't the same thing? |
| Sahuagin 10/30/18 8:23:24 PM #51 | Zeus posted... I was specifically responding to claim about it not being immoral. The argument isn't the previous law -- which policed morality -- but the permissive one today which doesn't police morality and is therefore a pretty good example of laws and morality failing to line up. I am currently drinking a single Mike's Hard Lemonade with my dinner. I would love to hear an argument for how that could possibly be immoral. --- |

| Topic | Explain how law and morality aren't the same thing? |
| Sahuagin 10/30/18 2:02:07 AM #46 | Zeus posted... The consumption of alcohol is widely viewed as an immoral act. doesn't matter, then alcohol is presently legal in spite of being immoral. the point is, law and morality are similar and related, but are really two different solutions to two different problems. note that it IS possible to have the point of view that morality should directly lead to laws, and anything that is immoral should then be illegal, but that is specifically authoritarian and not the only option. --- |
| Topic | What are your 3 favorite indie games? |
| Sahuagin 10/30/18 1:57:23 AM #33 | Dikitain posted... Serious Sam I could see, but Hotline Miami (and the sequel) was literally developed by just 2 people. Can't get much more indie then that. apparently Serious Sam and Hotline Miami are both published (so funded?) by Devolver Digital it does say that Hotline Miama is an "indie success" it seems like "indie" is being used to mean "very small dev team", when I would think it means something like "not funded/supported by a larger company". --- |
| Topic | Mega Man vs Mega Man X? |
| Sahuagin 10/28/18 11:21:14 PM #5 | I think I like the grittier feeling of the Mega Man games a little better than the X games. (in particular the Wily levels in MM1 and MM2.) gameplay-wise, X is clearly superior. --- |
| Topic | Something I've noticed recently, is that people do not make game guides anymore. |
| Sahuagin 10/28/18 11:12:02 PM #12 | yeah, wikis have made the concept of a faq or guide more or less obsolete --- |

Crashlands Papers, Please RimWorld Jets n Guns maybe Hotline Miami and Serious Sam games, but seems like maybe they aren't indie --- |
| Topic | I don't think my nephew knows what effort is. |
| Sahuagin 10/28/18 8:49:15 PM #7 | my nephew is 6 and can already beat SMB1 1-1. His problem is more with attention span. He does get frustrated if he can't win, but even if he can win he wants a different game after 5 minutes. He doesn't get that you can stick with one game and eventually beat it and master it. He can also play Minecraft with an XBox 360 controller, though only barely and with me helping him. He definitely prefers simpler games. what's really amazing is my 2 year old nephew. he's like 13 months old, but is so smart it's almost scary. he can't speak yet but instead he can communicate with hand gestures and facial expressions. he can't game yet but he understands the concept and always asks for a controller to use. --- |

| Sahuagin 10/25/18 11:57:38 PM #10 | if I sneeze hard enough I can get a sort of whiplash effect to my whole body. it feels like I've been hit by a pressure wave from a bomb or something. usually just goes away after a minute or so. OhhhJa posted... Google is telling me it could be a herniated disc. Wouldnt surprise. Sounds like similar symptoms. God damn it that will vary considerably, but is basically like having a dagger stuck in your back. --- |

| Sahuagin 10/25/18 9:37:11 PM #8 | I happen to own a PS2. I might not even be able to construct a top 5 out of the few games I've played on it though. Final Fantasy X (borrowed) Dragon Quest VIII (I think that was the number) (borrowed) Harvest Moon something (think was PS1 version though) Dark Cloud (own) I also own GTA Vice City, but the disc is scratched and it doesn't work I also own SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs for some reason, which I played for 5 mins but didn't enjoy --- |

My new job is 4.5% and I was pumped. hmmm, apparently I should appreciate that my job matches one-to-one (canada though). I don't have anything to compare it to so I don't know how normal that is.
