I do. I'm from Chile, so I'm chilean but also american.

I would say I am European. I do not think many people would say they are Eurasian. Origins are more cultural than physical places on a map. The culturally defined parts of the world have that connection, not the actual continents. (Only complicated part I can think of is the division of the Americas, as whether it is considered two or three world-parts really depends on where you are from)

If you were to work in a video game store and someone asks you "Hey, I really like games like Tekken and Virtua Fighter"(or "Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat"), you aren't going to say, "Well, based on that you should give Smash a try".

Because genre's are large and wide. All the games you mentioned are Fighting games, some might just be in different sub-genres. The similarities are enough to put them all in the same genre.

Central America isnt a thing to those people. Neither is North and South America. These are things we named them. You might have to dig to find the original names, but rest assured the winner decides the history and we didnt want their history. They do have a name, or names, for this land, though.

Oh yes please. You want to discuss whether "America" and its derivatives are exonyms or endonyms?

You just tricked me into buying this game with false information. If it's not a Metroidvania, don't call it a Metroidvania.

That kinda is the problem, its current "definition" (if it even has one) is different from what it started out as.

Originally it was just Symphony of the Night and its successors, as those were CastleVANIAs that incorporated progression elements from METROID. Which in the most simplified form means the original definition would be something like "game akin to Symphony of the Night, only problem is that phrase is highly subjective. At some point it became phrase "officially" used for any game with a Metroid like map progression, because I doubt Nintendo was going to allow for Metroid-like or Metroid-clone to become an actual genre.

As kids/teens actually get bullied because they can't afford the latest brands or whatever I'm not wrong. It does help reduce bullying. I'm well aware bullying happens for many reasons but that doesn't change my point. A uniform gives folk one less reason to be bullied at school at least. This is also taken from personal experiences. I don't know why you're trying to argue this.

Clothing and appearance are bullying options, not reasons.

At the school I was at years ago we had to wear black shoes or boots. That's it unless doing P.E. The rules are the same as far as I know as although the school has merged with another now and been rebuilt they are still wearing a uniform as I see the kids about all the time. My Niece and Nephew who are children also wear a uniform. They attend my old primary school that's still the same. Other schools have uniforms too. It's actually a common thing over here.

Ah primary school? That is when I wore orthopaedic shoes and they usually just had the one to model to chose from, with no choice in colour or anything else, just the one model they had available at the time I went in for a new pair. So if those happened to not be black, the school would tell me to wear different shoes?

I think in the original trilogy they just had magic powers and what set them apart was how they chose to use them.

The movies tend to hammer really hard on what is good, neutral or evil. It was Kyle Katarn I think in the old EU who mainly introduced the concept of the intent mattering, not the defined boundaries of good and evil.

Mostly the kids at my school loved to wear trainers(sneakers) when it was against the rules I just saw them as 'problem childs' as all it did was hold up the class when it wasn't needed.

How restrictive were the shoe rules? I wore orthopaedic shoes for most of my childhood and specific shoes that can hold my custom arch supports ever since.
Would either of those be possibly not allowed under those rules, or would a medical exception be made?

"De Donkere Kamer van Damokles" (The Darkroom of Damocles in English translations)

I was advised to read it by my Dutch teacher, as I was struggling with finding Dutch books that interested me at the time (little to no Sci-Fi or Fantasy on the official reading list). It genuinely is a good mystery book and in some ways focusses more on the psyche of the main character, than the war he is getting himself involved in. (Yeah, a lot of "good" Dutch literature are WW2 resistance books)
