| Topic | The Google and the Amazon are evil monopolies that don't allow free speech! |
| Esrac 09/13/17 1:06:51 PM #5 | I take it this is a joke topic, but we probably should be wary of companies like Amazon and Google that seem like they're closing in on monopolizing influence in their respective fields. I mean, when Google controls the results of their search engines and their search engine is the only one most people use, that gives them a significant level of influence over information distribution. I'm not saying their evil, of course, just that people should be wary of large, multinational businesses having such a strong grasp on the access to information the public has. --- |
| Topic | Have you ever known an IRL hoarder? |
| Esrac 09/13/17 12:06:40 PM #5 | My wife's aunt has hoarder tendencies. She was a crazy cat lady who wasn't the most diligent about cleaning up after her pets too. I went to her place once and it was revolting. Trash and dirty dishes, a bunch of cats, the smell was nauseating, and there were a lot of little roaches running around. She lives with us now and we don't allow cats in doors, but she's got a half dozen she feeds outside. Supposedly to keep rodents and pests away. Her closet is packed with a bunch of stuff and her room is really cluttered. --- |

| Esrac 09/13/17 10:04:20 AM #61 | https://www.politicalcompass.org/yourpoliticalcompass?ec=-1.88&soc=1.18 I feel like my results would've leaned more to the Right, if I had agreeable responses to questions about religion and disagreeable responses to questions about sex. --- |
| Topic | Why do so many people think its Un-American to be against coal miners? |
| Esrac 09/13/17 12:07:23 AM #6 | I think it's the impression that putting the coal industry out of business would basically leave those miners and their families high and dry in a region without any real alternatives for them. Kind of gives the impression one is shitting on the image of the working class laborer. --- |
| Topic | Mercedes-Benz to go all-in on electric vehicles by 2022. No more gas cars. |
| Esrac 09/12/17 9:24:26 PM #7 | Lightsasori posted... It says hybrid as well, with that said this is a good step. Electric cars and hybrids are the future, they just need to work on the technology better for them to be stable because I get scared driving by dad's Nissan Leaf because I keep getting paranoid that I will not have enough electricity to make it for the ride. Yeah, but they need to work on making recharging stations more available. You won't find any in rural areas. And I've only seen one available in a city in Louisiana. In a parking lot in Lake Charles. --- |

| Topic | What's a game that wasn't very good but you loved and played the shit out of? |
| Esrac 09/11/17 8:03:59 AM #20 | Brigandine: Legend of Forsena. It was an obscure Atlus game way back on the PS1. You pick one country to play as (Norgard, Iscalio, Carleon, New Almekia, Leonia, or Esgares Empire). You have to conquer all other nations on the continent by capturing all enemy castles in turn-based battles in which you field your rune knights, of which there are varying classes (barbarians, samurai, mages, clerics, valkyrie, etc) and the summoned monsters they can control (dragons, wyverns, vampires, angels, Holmes, etc). You win a battle by eliminating the opponent's rune knights. The game was really pretty simplistic and easy and there were hints at a deeper storyline that never really go anywhere (like a sorceror named Bulnoil who shows up when you defeat Esgares Empire and prove to be much more powerful than anyone else and wants to revive some world ending serpent, but doesn't really show up again even when you beat the game). But teenage me really enjoyed playing the game with every nation. --- |
| Topic | Dragonball fan manga where Vegeta came to earth instead of Kakarot |
| Esrac 09/11/17 1:56:03 AM #3 | Tl,dr: Vegeta gets sent to earth instead of Goku. Meets Bulma and defeats all the opponents Goku had trouble with effortlessly and within a few days. From the Red Ribbon Army, to Garlic Jr, to King Piccolo. He's a jerkass instead of an innocent dimwit. --- |

| Topic | USC expelled a guy from campus for a crime the victim denies completely |
| Esrac 09/10/17 9:51:51 PM #13 | Is this the case of the guy and his girlfriend horseplaying and some other chick saw it and reported it as abuse and he was expelled despite the "victim" trying to explain it was a big misunderstanding? Darkman124 posted... Mal_Fet posted...every instance I think he is being hyperbolic because a lot of Title IX cases that are publically reported on seem more like witch hunts that turn out to be false claims. A lot of which seems to go back to that Dear Colleague letter from a couple years ago that, as I've heard, set the stage for the Title IX abuses. --- |
| Topic | I have never seen anyone admit to being a red piller |
| Esrac 09/10/17 9:46:20 PM #9 | D-Lo_BrownTown posted... I'm still not clear on what being "red pilled" is. It varies slightly by context. The common thread is people who are red pilled believe they see how things really are in ways that people don't typically acknowledge. --- |
| Topic | So Pwedipie dropped the N bomb in his live stream today |
| Esrac 09/10/17 6:40:14 PM #124 | So what? Some people say profane things when upset. Just saying the N-word isn't indicative of racism. Unless he starts casually referring to black people as N-words, I'll file this under no big deal. I remember I worked with some rednecks a few years ago. They referred to everyone as N-words. Hard R. Each other, other white guys, hispanics, black people, asians, etc. Just everyone. It was a bit disconcerting at first to hear it said so liberally and out of the context you'd expect. Granted, some of them were explicitly racist. --- |
| Topic | Something I never understood about the Final Fantasy Tactics plot |
| Esrac 09/10/17 4:39:01 AM #24 | DoomSwell posted... @Esrac posted...Her skillset ignores Faith Sorry, but you're mistaken. While Malak's Nether Mantra spells require low Faith on himself and his target to maximize his damage output, Rafa's Sky Mantra ignores Faith entirely. She's not the opposite of Malak. That's a misconception. Normal Magick (from Blac Mages, Summoners, etc) requires high Faith on the caster and target. Nether Mantras require the opposites: low Faith. Sky Mantras ignore both. --- |
| Topic | Something I never understood about the Final Fantasy Tactics plot |
| Esrac 09/10/17 3:33:52 AM #21 | Bad_Mojo posted... DoomSwell posted...Originally they would cast their spells 1 to 6 times which results in an average of 3. They also significantly increased the odds of the spells hitting the center tile. So, at high end play, Rafa can actually get several high damage hits and potentially outdamage any other character. It's a bit of a gamble though. Malak still sucks compared to his sister. She has naturally higher MA because she's a woman, she has access to female-only accessories, and her skillset ignores Faith, while his requires both his AND his target's Faith to be low to deal more damage. Also, having low Faith means he get a healed next to nothing by White Magick and buff spells are unlikely to hit him. --- |

| Esrac 09/09/17 8:01:52 PM #11 | Even back then, I thought the Popeye Arms Style character models looked awful compared to the character sprites they used in FF4 and FF6. I did think the character models in the cutscenes and battles looked good though. --- |

| Topic | Boy who transitioned to female at 12 changes his mind after 2 years. |
| Esrac 09/08/17 12:10:40 PM #105 | Lost_All_Senses posted... This news story was such an obvious happening. People way overshot with this "be who you wanna" thing. Soon all little girls are gonna get surgery to look like fairies cause thats what they wanna be As I read, some research suggests most kids who feel some confusion about their genders start to get over it around puberty. Probably has to do with prepubescent kids being more androgynous and the influx of sex hormone during puberty. --- |

| Esrac 09/07/17 3:04:08 PM #34 | When guys go without sex and positivs feminine attention for a long time, they start going crazy. Hell, if my wife and I go without having sex for a few weeks, my mentality starts taking a bad turn. Extrapolating that to months or years and I can understand why they may start getting angry, bitter, and, occasionally, radicalized. --- |

| Topic | Who is more advantaged in our society: men or women? |
| Esrac 09/06/17 6:08:32 PM #7 | Men and women deal with different societal disparities. For example, boys are less likely to graduate high school, more likely to drop out, and less likely to attend or graduate college. Boys also tend to be graded and disciplined more harshly than their girl peers. Similarly, men are punished more harshly and more often in the justice system for the same crimes. The disparity between the sexes is greater than the disparity between races. --- |

| Topic | Did this game journalist deserve to be shamed for his Cuphead gameplay? |
| Esrac 09/06/17 2:40:42 PM #18 | Yes. Any game journalist/reviewer who is this bad at video games deserves to be shamed for being incompetent at their job. If you don't even have a basic level of skill at games, you have no business reviewing them or writing about them. --- |

| Topic | Gamers eventually start to hate popular game developers |
| Esrac 09/05/17 6:54:03 PM #12 | Zeeak4444 posted... BLAKUboy posted...fenderbender321 posted...Because they don't innovate very much. There is that too. If you have previous entries in a series that gamers already loved, it's not surprising they'd be annoyed at newer entries changing up the formula too much. That whole "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" thing. You can see that with gamers who say they won't buy the FF7 Remake if it doesn't use the ATB system. --- |
| Topic | Gamers eventually start to hate popular game developers |
| Esrac 09/05/17 6:52:28 PM #10 | I think, in at least some cases, it's because as the developers get bigger, they start trying to broaden the appeal of their product. Now, technically, there's nothing wrong with wanting more people to buy and play their games, but that often seems to come at the expense of the esoteric aspects of the games that made the gamer fans love their games in the first place. It's that common complaint that games get dumbed down to appeal to more people. --- |
| Topic | 17 minutes of Code Vein (anime dark souls) |
| Esrac 09/05/17 6:47:09 PM #3 | Eh. It looks okay. It kind of bugs me that enemies are apparently so easy to sneak behind. I'm also not thrilled about having a partner character because seeing the player character's weapon pass through them harmlessly is off-putting. Aside from what looks like a special staggering/launching attack, the weapon attacks don't seem to have much impact against enemies. --- |
