Finishing up my middle range theory critique and I should probably get started on my last policy paper

Also studying for an advanced pharm final and working on some research that a faculty member is conducting.

Are you in grad school?

Music appreciation, need this class for my bachelor's degree. Went to see a classical symphony and have to write a critique on it. It's worth 150 points, so I can't half-ass it either.

I have 2 that I gotta work on. Due this Friday. I'm feeling so lazy :/

literally did fuck-all today.

I haven't beaten RDR2 yet, but the story is pretty lackluster. The characters were forgettable, the missions added nothing, and the whole 'twilight of the outlaw' storyline is basically a rehash of the first game, except it's even less justifiable here since it's a prequel. TLoU isn't really my sort of game, though, so I never played it and can't really compare.

What a partypooper.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, I'm just saying that story is not its strength.

What chapter are you in? I think the characters are really good, especially Arthur, and Dutch maintains to be an intriguing character right to the end.

The story is simple, but well executed. It's a great story of redemption, loyalty, disillusionment and family.

Chapter 3, IIRC. Dutch is pretty much the standard anti-hero mentor, Arthur is a brick dressed up like Clint Eastwood, Micah (I couldn't even remember his name) might as well be spinning his evil mustache, etc. Like I said, it's not that it's a particularly bad story, just really bland, and they already did the same story before. I'm probably a bit biased, though, because I hate prequels, but I just don't feel any of the characters are particularly interesting or memorable.

On one hand, I think 3-4 is the game's peak in every department, on the other the game's narrative definitely reaches a sort of turning point by the end of 4. Keep at it.

I probably won't, honestly. I don't like a story that bores me for 3/4 only to finally start picking up in the last quarter. I feel like that is really, really shitty pacing.

Chapter 3 is like 30% of the story but if you're not enjoying what I think is the best chapter in the game, then I don't think the game's main missions are for you.

The story is simple, but well executed. It's a great story of redemption, loyalty, disillusionment and family. There's also themes of impermanence and some cool sociopolitical themes of industrialization, modernity etc. I would have though a history major like you would have appreciated it.

I answered your question.

Its a yes or no answer. Again, do you think its a bad idea to keep watch over your neighborhood?

It's funny how people in 2018 still don't realize how desperate and pathetic this argument approach is.

Isn't there a term for this? Would it not fall under False dilemma fallacy? Loaded question fallacy?

A liberal democracy huh. Hopefully China's growth continues then

United States has been one since its inception, smart guy. Liberal democracy refers to its 18th century liberal roots, not modern liberalism.

Nearly all American conservatives today are classical liberals.

Brown is fucking ugly, I mean that like dark, deep, almost reddish/maroon brown. Light brown/tan is nice.

No brown is great. Lots of great clothing and furniture/ house decor stuff make use of the color brown, plus brown hair is common among humans and it looks good on people.

I voted yellow but I forgot how terrible pink generally is. Aside from sakura trees, that's the only positive association I can think of.

What happened to SJWs affecting scores?

SJWs don't actually play video games that aren't mobile bejewelled clones.

So why do people keep complaining about TLOU 2 being SJWfied, or BFV for that matter?

SJWs aren't bad people. They just want equality, that's all. Unfortunately, they've lost the bigger picture they initially started with.

If ResetEra wasn't moderated by SJWs, it might have been a decent place. I commonly see some lesser known info, or cool investigative work on industry stuff and games pop up from ResetEra. Leaks from the industry especially.
