It feels more like a subjective list rather than an objective list.

first of all I would expect lists to be subjective anyway, but then secondly this list looks more like it's reading the pulse of what's popular than making subjective picks, nobody has a top 30 that's this close to the mainstream

Like at least wait for Outer Worlds

It took me a second to realize that Outer Wilds and Outer Worlds were completely different and unrelated games, both of which I've never heard of until now

very weird moment for me

3. Minecraft

I guess we're going with 'actual relevance to the decade' rather than 'release date' on this one

Pretty much every game has a glitchless category if running the game glitchless would be of benefit to people who don't want to run the game with glitches

the vast majority of speedrunners that aren't at the very tippy top of the game forego a lot of glitches they aren't comfortable with anyway, like I can run SMB3 any% warpless with reasonably meaningful proficiency but I don't do the 7-1 skip

At any rate, I don't think this all matters enough to change my vote. Is Maya actually as important in the series as Edgeworth, who unlike Maya, has had at least one game devoted to him? Is she really as beloved as Edgeworth? Juxtaposing their nomination history, not to mention the results of tazzy's project, suggests the answer to the latter is no.

Maya is probably below Edgeworth in overall popularity but she is not a significantly less important character to the first three games than Edgeworth, she's probably the second most important character behind Phoenix

I know why they don't but come on- leave Tom Holland Spider-Man alone and make a new Sony Spider-Man, an adult maybe. Make as many movies with your new Sony Spider-Man as you want and have him run around with Venom and Morbius. Then BOOM do the crossover. Tom Holland and Sony Spider-man meet up for the first time and have to team up to defeat... Tobey Maguire as Spider-Carnage. It'd be like printing money.

The last sentence got me on board

To answer honestly, I'm probably like 75/25 straight. I'm definitely more attracted to women but the "gay side" is there lul. Probably not enough to actually do anything with a guy. But then I was also labelled as "gay" by several people growing up, probably because I was more emotional than an average boy and was intetested in "the arts". So that may have fucked with my head somewhat.

Damn dude you have feelings and like art that is gay af I'm an emotionless robot who only likes sports and war docs

Uh, I mean getting labeled as gay for tenuous shit as a kid is a thing though

Level 3:

Yeah, it was fun once, but I'm not fucking around with the Dolphins again.

Nah it's not that bad, I see where chaos is coming from now

I don't really agree that cis and trans is a spectrum - I don't think it's really 'one or the other' either, I just think it's more complicated than that, and there's a lot of different ways to express one's gender, to think about it and compartmentalize it, but at the end of the day describing myself as anything other than "cis", at least as I am today, would feel quite disingenuous. I'm certainly not trans! I think most trans people would be baffled at best and appalled at worst if I tried to claim such a label for myself without actually living the experience I think it'd be kind of offensive really.

I do agree that for a lot of people having these thoughts is often just a precursor and people definitely shouldn't feel pressured into suppressing these feelings, either out of fear of coming out or simply out of a feeling of "oh, no, it couldn't be me." I do think cis/straight people should remain openminded too, because, well, nobody really knows everything about themselves and people can change over time. But speaking as a cis guy I do think people need to be allowed to have doubts! It's totally possible to have really deep questions about your gender for a long time and then still comfortably and confidently assert yourself as cis. I'm a lot more comfortable as a man than I was 15 years ago because I allowed myself to express doubt - entertaining transness has legit made me more comfortable as cis.

What is "straight, but like, I'd hook up with a dude"?

because that

That's bi with a fem preference I think

Or just good old fashioned bicurious

Or maybe pan

There's too many terms nowadays. I know this is people's identities and all, but I kind of miss simpler times.

Anyway I'm not a gay man, but I love me some penis

Simpler times didn't really exist! We've always had complicated, confusing, sometimes contradictory sexual preferences probably since the dawn of our species, but for so long our culture has tried to rein our urges in that we didn't really develop language for how to talk about it until now. Just like how we have a lot of different words to describes colors, or the way things taste, we also have a lot of words that can describe gender and who we wanna fuck, we've just only freed ourselves up recently to actually develop a colorful lexicon to describe stuff.

Generally speaking I don't think people should get too hung on the exact sexual identities they want to go by, but it's great that we have a lot of different terms to describe ourselves.

PerfectChaosZ posted...

If you think about getting with the same sex in a sexy way you arent curious and you definitely arent straight. Straight folks never think about it, really, thats not like an insult somehow or anything they really dont even consider it unless its mentioned to them and they are flabbergasted when reminded. If you think of it on your own or it turns you on you are attracted to dudes even a bit. So youre pan for sure.

People tend to get emotional over the debate between bi and pan but I just feel that pan is a more inclusive and better term while bisexual is more archaic from a time when we didnt understand gender an sexuality as much. But its also so marginalized and erased that I understand why folks cling so hard to their bi identity and saying pan is largely the same kinda feels like more erasure. So I dont begrudge people that still like to use bi whatsoever.

Oh and if you ever think about being the opposite sex same goes for you, you arent cis. I promise you a cis person never thinks about it.

Wow, this is all way too black and white, especially the cis thing.

I'm a cisgender guy. I identify as gay but my sexual preferences probably lean closer to bi (it's complicated). I have definitely thought about being either a trans woman or nonbinary a lot - I have plenty of weird gender feelings all the time. Used to be a lot more confused about it when I was in my teens, not so much lately. I've felt that these gender labels don't really define me very me or suit me very well, nor would performing them suit me well as a general rule, and I'm comfortable being male, so I've stuck with that and I plan to in the future. I think it'd be fun to crossdress or something but I probably wouldn't go further than that. I'm still cis. You're really putting the concept of what cisgender is into a narrow box on this one.

Gay but flexible

When confronted with Trumps abuse of power in Ukraine (which is, among many other things, a form of election interference), Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggests (with, of course, absolutely zero basis in reality) that it was Biden who could have conducted election interference:

These fuckers are all absolutely shameless

And of course, here we see the media doing fucking nooooooothing to push back against shameless lying and propoganda, like usual, just giving Pompeo a platform from which to spout bullshit

Performative christianity isn't just christianity, it's one of its dominant forms

If someone waves around christian identity like a cudgel of moral superiority, then saying they're not really christian because they don't actually believe it is inane

LadyVyxx posted...

I guarantee theres been an atheist president already they just lied about believing in God because its necessary for votes

Yeah, I'm taking atheist here to mean both atheist *and* nonreligious, which are of course two different things, but it's a lot more likely than "religious adherent who openly does not believe in god" (and I think "nonreligious, but spiritual/believes in god" is significantly more likely to go over well)

Private doubt or even disbelief in the existence of god is actually pretty common among religious adherents, and it's literally impossible to tell what any given person thinks given the dire social consequences of publicly admitting this

Openly atheist christianity does actually exist but it's a niche movement

Trump is most certainly not an atheist, he is merely intensely bad at practicing his religion

I'd say we have about a 30% chance of a female president in 2020, and a less than 1% chance of an atheist president prior to 2050

(maybe remove Tentacruel and possibly Cloyster from that list, but I feel like they toil in obscurity enough that it would be nice to give them something)

Tentacruel
Rapidash
Dodrio
Dewgong

Everything else has received some sort of significant upgrade over the years or have been strong/useful enough to not need it (hi, Starmie)

MrGreenonion posted...

Clefable, Wigglytuff, and Mr. Mime did gain Fairy type though. Not the same as an actual new form but an upgrade of sorts.

Ehhh I guess

I mean Clefable's much BIGGER upgrade was in the form of Unaware and Magic Guard but I wasn't counting that either. Sort of like how Ditto got a huge upgrade in terms of ability but I still put it on the list (even though it's probably the least likely Pokemon to ever get a new form for obvious reasons)

So, as one of the only non-legendary Gen 1 Pokemon that doesnt have an evolution, prevolution or mega-evolution and considering its literally a Loch Ness monster, I think its likely that Lapras will have an evolution.

And it will be called Lochnas

As far as I know only three non-legenday Gen 1 Pokes fit all of these parameters:

Lapras
Tauros
Ditto

That seems correct. Just for fun, I compiled a list of every gen 1 fully-evolved Pokemon to never receive any sort of evolution, alternate evo path, or alternate form (mega evo, regional form, gigantimax, etc)

Hold up

It's 2019, you guys are surprised by stuff like this?

Companies, even fast food companies specifically, have been tapping into bizarre angles of advertising like creating weird, subversive video games for decades now

It's pretty typical at this point for a company like KFC to try to hit on a viral marketing campaign by putting out a quirky dating sim, and it's obviously working!

I couldn't be more jaded about this, it's so cynical
