| AdviceMan 10/28/19 1:27:58 PM #3 | PS4 - Switch - PC. PC for all multiplats that are not poorly optimized on the PC. PC plays them best. Switch for exclusives and games that benefit greatly from the portability. PS4 for Timed Exclusive and True Exclusives, also games that have poor PC ports. If you do that, you can play any game you want, no exceptions. The PS4 isn't that expensive, and its best exclusives are single player. No reason not to get it if you want its games. Even if PC gets their exclusives later, like RDR2, it's waaaay too late. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

| Topic | I think I'm for real done with Marvel (and indeed all superhero) films |
| AdviceMan 10/27/19 1:18:57 PM #46 | The point is that La la land is an extremely accessible well made movie that doesn't ask any particularly new or interesting questions. The fact that it didn't have a happy ending is cool, almost as cool as a movie where a team of black basketball players get to the championship game and then they lose. My point is not that La la land is a bad movie, it's an objectively great movie. It's the misplaced pretentiousness of people turning their noses up at superhero movies while holding up La la land as a "sophisticated" movie. Marvel movies might be more shallow, but it's like comparing a 3 foot pool to a 5 foot one. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

| AdviceMan 10/27/19 12:12:30 PM #26 | Malfunction posted... You know, I actually knew I would regret using that term itt. But no, while I would not consider it 'high brow' in the typical sense of the word, it is a great film and I would consider it as having more artistic merit than every Marvel film. In any case, the user who referred to it as such was quoting a person they know irl. Yeah, but that's the thing. Being "more high-brow" than a marvel movie is not a high bar to climb. I would also argue that a movie that isn't high brow simply isn't high brow. And that's fundamentally my problem with most criticism of Marvel movies. People will defend a movie one or two rungs above on the ladder, but they're not talking about Matrix 3, a movie that for all its faults attempts to grapple with real philosophical principles. La la land was an Oscar Bait movie, and if you're really serious about movies as art, it's pretty bad too. It's like fantasy sports lovers calling people who play dungeons and dragons dorks. Yeah, the world might perceive it that way, but there's nothing not dorky about roleplaying sports and statistics. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

To be fair, the man revealed a massive program of surveillance run by the US government and is now living in exile in Moscow as a result. If the US government was keeping secrets about aliens and UFOs in Area 51, surely Snowden would have been the one to find out. Their point was that Snowden would know if the US was hiding stuff about aliens he would likely know. They didn't go into depth about what Snowden was exiled for because that wasn't the purpose of the article. The article isn't reporting on whether Snowden's exile is justified, literally only conspiracy theories that he said were probably not true and why he is a credible source to say that.

| Topic | AOC returns money from Oculus founder |
| AdviceMan 10/23/19 1:10:04 PM #26 | That's because it doesn't make sense. It really is the result of the fact that you can't really tell what a person's motivations are, specifically a politician's. Are they acting because they think it's the right thing to do or are they acting because their donors are making them? Because you cannot tell, and because we know many politicians act based on their donors' wishes (or don't act), we use a shortcut where we just assume people do what their donors tell them to do. The alternative would be allowing politicians to simply say that despite taking x amount of money from this corporate donor, they will not be influenced by them, which could obviously just be a lie. The best thing to do is to see what a politician does and whether or not you agree with it, regardless of who is donating to them, but that takes a lot more work than simply evaluating who they accept money from. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

| Topic | I 100% support transgender rights and don't get they upset people but... |
| AdviceMan 10/21/19 3:59:18 PM #16 | Doesn't work. If you ban them because of biological differences then you are saying that those biological differences matter. AKA women cannot compete in women sports because they are biologically not women. Even if every other facet of life you are treating them as women, you are saying, "we'll say you're women, but we really don't THINK you're women" because other than that there is no reason to ban women from women's sports. From what I understand from my conversations with transgendered people, simply being polite and "liberal" is a start, but it generally isn't enough, because if your identity is linked to you being seen a certain way, any sort of contradiction to that identity is jarring and hurtful. AKA you can't say transwomen are women EXCEPT when..." Because the "except" means that they aren't. Now this isn't true for all transpeople. Some agree with those biological differences when it comes to dating/sports, but I don't know the breakdown or the consensus. There really is no solution to it that would make everybody happy. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

AdviceMan posted...The difference between McCarthyism and now is that we have proof that bad faith actors are trying to influence our elections. Even if you think Hilary's accusation is completely without evidence (it isn't), if you have any modicum of self-awareness, you would realize bad faith actors are propping up Tulsi Gabbard. Sure, and I agree it was irresponsible. It wasn't a fake smear though, and that's why the people she attacked like Jill Stein and Tulsi didn't reply with the same words she was accused of. Because the easiest way to shift a conversation if you are accused of something accurate is to say something that is also accurate, but not an answer to initial accusation. For example, if you called me a middle of the road liberal who is okay with the status quo, and I said something like "I'm not unreasonable and have progressive views", I'm not denying what you said, but it sounds like I'm denying what you're saying and the thing I'm saying is accurate. Then I would turn it on you and saying you attacking fellow democrats is what is wrong with America. The thing that makes me chuckle to some degree though is the fact that all these people have been sneak dissing/outwardly dissing Hillary RODHAM Clinton for the better part of four years. Hillary is CLEARLY bitter about it and that's not a good thing, but still, I can understand it, even if I find it wholly inappropriate. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

| Topic | Deism: WHY is it the existence of god always has to be associated with religion? |
| AdviceMan 10/15/19 2:08:56 PM #14 | Deism isn't popular for a few reasons. 1. It's inherently an unfalsifiable position. The deist and the atheist have effectively the same position. The atheist posits that there is no god or there is no reason to believe in one, and the deist posits there is a non-intervening god. A god such as that might as well not exist. 2. The deist position still has the trouble of distinguishing god from a physical force. So from a deist perspective, it still ascribes motivation and agency to the creator of the universe. Once again, no reason whatsoever for this. How do they distinguish it from just a phenomenon? 3. Any philosophy utilizing a deist outlook on life effectively ignores god anyway. So even if you are a diest, there is no real reason to ever talk about it, because god is a non-factor in literally anything observable. Thus you won't have people picking up from other thinkers because serious deist thinkers don't talk about their deism. Basically deism is theism without the warm fuzzy feeling of being special. It's more LIKELY than theism, purely because of the fewer amount of assumptions you have to make, but there is no reason to believe that it is a better or closer philosophy than weak or even strong atheism. And with none of the mental benefits that theism can possibly provide, it's really is a belief system not particularly worth mulling over. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

And I don't know what your experience was, but a lot of games, specifically older games had the "you don't know where to go next and that's what's taking you so long". The reason why I picked Super Mario 64 and oot is because they're some of the biggest (ambitious) games in that era. You have to compare them with games that are considered relatively short in todays era for them to hold up in terms of length and content. Nobody would play a game with a 13 hour campaign today and consider it long. And if you're going to compare the longest RPGs of the past, then you have to compare them to the longest RPGs of the present.

On the other hand, I can point out that even then, if you compare them to things like Ass Creed, or Persona 5, if you do everything in THOSE games, they're MUCH longer. The difference is, for some weird reason people will call stuff in the current generation bloat, but consider collectathon games "just a lot of content."

Furthermore, expansions were a thing for a long time, as were better versions of the same game, and sequels would complete a story. People who hate DLC on principle make no sense to me. They're offering you X for Y amount of money, and you can additionally have Z for A amount of money. You CAN stop at X. You just think you deserve Z automatically or if they develop Z before they released X they should be obligated to give it to you. That doesn't make any sense. It wouldn't make sense with literally anything else. Only gamers create rules that developers have never had to follow, and say that should be the industry standard.

They still might depending on how people respond to their backtrack. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

| AdviceMan 10/11/19 4:15:44 PM #277 | Xx09x7 posted... AdviceMan posted...Brown made it clear that he had no interest in testifying in Guygers trial, Merritt told CNN. Brown had been shot in November 2018, just three months after Jean was killed, in an unsolved case, and Merritt said Brown was concerned that that person might try to come back and finish the job. https://twitter.com/MeritLaw/status/1181528033750142976?s=20 Keep in mind, to the people saying that the police investigated themselves. This was what the lawyer that represented Jean's family said about Brown. It's not really that hard to believe that someone who is afraid for his life was complicated in shady shit. It IS hard to believe that the state would force someone to tesitfy and then kill him for testifying knowing full well it would look like they did it AND wouldn't change the outcome of the case one bit. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |

| Topic | Remember when Donald Trump tried to make us less dependent on China |
| AdviceMan 10/09/19 5:20:05 PM #9 | Duncanwii posted... AdviceMan posted...Americans do not like selling their own values for Chinese money. Sure. I can get behind the fact that if the American Citizen was asked to bear the brunt of pain to fight Chinese autocracy, they would be less inclined to do so. This would be hypocrisy. This still does not make the scorn towards Trump unjustified, since his trade war with China has to do with a trade deficit and not about values. TC is trying to calling out the hypocrisy that simply isn't there. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. |
