Being a good actor IS being attractive. People wanting to hear what you have to say.

Don't forget the rules of attraction are different for everyone.

The implication is that there ARE deserving people in the industry, and that they are passed over on opportunities for one of any number of reasons.

The extras and dlcs in the rerelease are completely not necessary. It's not really additional content is more like substituting your fries for onion rings

I think that's the very definition of additional content.

Nah. It's alternative side content. The base game is wholly complete. If the remake never came out you'd never feel the original lacked anything.

What I'm trying to say is that the base game concluded in a very satisfactory way (imo), and the extra content, which while optional to complete, continues the story further and gives you a new ending. I feel that the end product of RH:PC is weaker than the original on the subject of plot because of these addenda. I mean, you have played it right? The additional content literally continues on from the ending.

Is racism over?

If not then there's nothing wrong with an individual providing opportunity to an historically racially oppressed group specifically.

OR, what you could do, is start the demo at 9PM on Thursday. That way, when your demo is up, you can switch right over to the new game Friday at midnight! (assuming that's when it becomes available)

Yeah this fool has work and stuff, so I don't do midnight playing sessions anymore.

CyricZ

This is fine.

Especially for story-driven games, I think it's a bad tendency to add on to a finished product just to extend a little bit of life out of it. I complained about the re-release of Radiant Historia this way.

CyricZ

Just started pre-downloading this morning. I played the old demo, but I STILL haven't played the new one, given that I've been giving Hollow Knight a lot of my attention.

In fact, I might not even bother playing the new demo, since there's only two days left anyway.

That you can start the comic and not long after come across the author's announcement of his daughter being born, then skip ahead to current comics and the author announcing his daughter's own comic series that she's making.

Etymologically, "fair" comes from the old English "faeger" for "pleasing", or "attractive". It didn't mean "lighter skin tone" until such comparisons were more common and those in power (lighter skinned people) came to take "fair" as being "light in tone".

So these "some people" claiming the "fair" in the anthem refers to white people are likely off-base.

CyricZ

I know what you mean, pinky. There was a certain cadence to it as a word. Growing up in New England, you get the version with the second "r" dropped.

Of course, we're still largely better off for having tossed it as a pejorative.

Any big time worth the trip to make restaurants you've ever gone to in boston?

For being only a few miles outside of Boston, you'd think I'd know more about the eats, but sadly, I'm not very well traveled in that regard.

This topic demonstrates that half of y'all are completely incapable of perceiving the actual facts because God forbid you end up agreeing with a demographic of people you don't like

If agreeing with a demographic was so against me, I just wouldn't post in this topic.

COVxy posted...

But most don't really give a shit about the ensuing events. The reason people are so gung ho about it is that it provides them with the one positive example that justifies their previously held beliefs.

This is the part that annoys me. I mean, yeah, some catharsis is warranted for being right, but for god's sake, there's a wallowing that goes on that's just unbecoming.

One of my friends who does concerts at PAX East says he likes MAGFest a lot more.

Well there you go. MAG is very friendly to musicians. It's a music heavy con.

PAX - Big names, little names, tons of panels, board games
MAG - Music, cosplay, parties, arcade, artists

Gun to my head, if I had to excise one from my life, it'd be MAG, but I do enjoy them both for different reasons.

It bothers me because I hate sexism, I want equality, but I also hate dishonesty, manipulation and absolutely tribalism.

Well you can't force equality on people (certainly not from here).

This is the result of being part of an historically oppressed group. When some get power, they will abuse it. And women tend to be more cerebral in their interactions than men, so you'll see deception and manipulation and raising the flag of oppression. More insidious than the more stereotypical male direct abuse. It's going to happen.

So call it out when it happens, but don't lose sight of why you're doing what you're doing. You're not doing it to "be right". You're doing it to make the world a better place, as little at a time as you can. Don't assume you're going to fix the world overnight.

And for those who stick their head in the sand and support the opposing side no matter what: you're not going to win all, or even any, of them over on your own. You have to pick your battles. Simply trying to put out fires whenever you see them and getting frustrated when you don't succeed is more damaging to you than to any of their arguments.

I mean, look at some of the things you're saying here. Saying that people here would be happy if you died? You know that isn't true, you won't convince anyone to follow your argument if you say this, and it's a pretty emotionally damaging thing to say.

Sometimes you have to take a deep breath, step away from the keyboard, and recharge doing something you love, or being with someone you love. Don't worry, the debate will still be here when you get back.

Yeah, it's gonna be annoying for a bit. There are a few petitions for firing "anti-consumer" game devs that have already popped up.

It'll die down. People will get bored, or remember that the true enemy is not game devs but game journalism.

Oh please, at best, you worded it extremely poorly and made it seem like you were calling out arenanet with your bullshit second comment, so people rightfully looked at you and went are you fucking serious right now? And now youre backtracking.

Dont sit here and call everyone else out for assuming when you either intentionally worded it poorly, or you actually meant that arenanet went too far but now want to backtrack because you rightfully got called out on it. For once in your life Cyric, admit you made a dumbass post please.

For someone who claims to know me (whoever you are), I'd think you'd know I don't make disingenuous and vague claims to backtrack on later. Don't let your froth over this subject cloud your judgment.

Or spend the rest of your night trying to get an unearned point off me, whatever.

CyricZ

Oh goodness. I suppose I should have said "she went too far" because look at everyone just assuming my stance instead of asking for clarification.

Oh welllll.

Anyway, I've already seen people post a few petitions for getting other games devs fired. We'll see how it all goes.
