See, it looks like my kinda game. But I hesitate to try the demo. Because, if I really so like it, I'll have to wait at least a year for the actual release.

For me, having a specific goal in mind helped.

I wanted to enlist in the Navy, but I was way too fat. I had to pose 50lbs. It took almost a year, but I did it. Reduced my calorie intake, went to the gym 3 - 5 times a week.

I had to make a significant change to the kinds of food I ate. For an idea, my standard dinner became baked chicken breast with some vegetables. Usually carrots and green beans.

It's the fact that she's not even human; she's a literal alien wearing a human disguise.

Sure, but her mimeosome, which is what represents the character for 99% of the game and cameo appearances is a brown woman.

I'm just saying, I think that counts.

Nah, I think some of those people just want a black character to fill some type of diversity quota. I would love for a black character to get into Smash Bros. but theres not really any great choices. This is more of an industry problem than a Smash Bros. problem. Smash doesnt create its own characters so they cant really put in some random black character. The fact that some people in that ResetEra thread suggested characters like Doc Louis or Cherry Hunter feels a little insulting to people like me because it seems like some of these people want diversity points. Some of the other suggestions, like Elma, arent even PoC.

Thankfully, several black users in that same thread voiced their opinion on what they think about the lack of representation and how it doesnt offend them. Its tiring to see people, who typically arent black themselves, be offended for individuals such as myself.

I think several women users in that ResetEra thread pointed out how theres nothing really wrong with a character having big breasts and they were attacked by the men user base. I think one user said she felt suicidal for a time due to how the male user base on ResetEra treated characters with large breasts because she has large breasts in real life and it made her feel insecure and hate herself.

Overall, its a horrible site. I only browse it for gaming news and leaks since thats all its good for if you ask me.

Not to nit-pick, but isn't Elma a PoC? In the sense that her usual depiction is a sort of ambiguous brown. She's not black, obviously, but she looks like a sort of darker skinned Asian woman.

Unless you mean her other appearance, which is much paler.

Why are you guys so obsessed with resetera?

The same reason people would go see the freak show. Sometimes, you just want to gawk at some weirdos.

Oh, and, I haven't been myself, but I've heard Neogaf has actually become a decent platform since the cancer was cut out.

It was that one of the admins was outed as a pedophile.

No, it was because Tyler Malka, the owner of Neogaf got #MeToo'd. A woman claimed that when they went to New Orleans together, in their hotel room, he tried to fuck her in the shower after an evening of heavy drinking.

Resetera was accused of having some pedos and pedo-apologists when a user leaked some screenshots of a discord some of the site's staff use.

If it plays as well as Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre, then this game is right up my alley. I'll have to check out the demo later.

So, where and when can I pre-order? They look sharp.

Why does so much of American cartoon artstyle look like shit?

Like, I would never watch this show, because it is hideous.

Nintendo: "You'll get a standalone $60 Skyward Sword remaster, and you'll like it!"

I wouldn't want that, without a decent discount. But I would buy a Zelda 3D collection that is similar to the 3D Mario collection.

Men will pay for a better chance at pussy. Women don't need to pay for dick. They've already got more dudes willing to bang them than they know what to do with.

If you have a college degree, you're already in a position to make more than people without. Forgiving your student loan debt is just giving more to people who already have an advantage.

You're already one of the "haves". Do more for the "have nots" by making that additional education more affordable in the first place. I'd rather see the state colleges be free to attend, with similarly state sponsored trade schools for people who are more inclined for that.

Its a good and all, but I can't imagine it performing well on console.

I'm okay with remasters and remakes for games that were more than one generation ago or were on a console barely anyone bought.

What excuse did he make for whats happening to the Uyghur people?

That it wasn't, but hey, the US has something questionable going on at the US - South American border.

I watched that a few months ago. I agree that the animation and aesthetic are cool to see, but the series as a whole was a bit overrated.

Yeah seriously that's why it's so fucking obnoxious.

The language here is just as extreme as the type of language we condemn white supremacists for. It's a terrible look, excessively aggressive.

There's a way to make points addressing racial inequality and injustice without resorting to weird ass inflammatory language like this. Just really rubs me the wrong way.

The word "traitor" is a pretty loaded word. It doesn't look any better here than when any race activist tosses the word "race traitor" around.

Taking a little bit of a beating today.

responding to crime

Aka reactionary approach, aka not proactively preventing it

What if, crazy idea, instead of having this "bad things are going to happen, but we'll she sure as hell kick your ass for it" attitude in America, we tried instead to not make bad things happen?

You should elaborate, because you could mean several things by "proactively preventing" when it comes to crime prevention.

Heat. You can add layers of clothing to mitigate the cold. You can only take off so many layers of clothes in the heat.

Nah, they were right. I just chose a tweet at random from the ones i was seeing.

You did the right thing. Sometimes, the haters deserve to win.

I won't pretend to have the expertise to have any idea.

If I had to give some kind of idea, I'd imagine initially trying setting up a semi-self sufficient space station in orbit. Built to act as a supply depot for the colonization efforts on the planet.

I get private businesses/banks not wanting to open to general public for the sake of warming them up but I mean... churches? Isn't that kinda their thing? lol

edit: although if the weather's shitty enough then I imagine everyone's just trying to stay home in the first place.

The sign mentions another location being open and that staff are working remotely. I assume, by that, they're closed as a COVID precaution.

No one who buys and plays competitive first-person shooters is going to care much about the historical debates surrounding the real life events on which the game is based.

Players will want to know about latency issues, multiplayer modes, if the DLC is pay to win, whether or not the guns will look and sound authentic, and if the game mechanics are balanced. Thats pretty much the short list.

I mean, it wasn't long ago that people were griping about a WW2 game staring a female soldier with a prosthetic arm because it was historically inaccurate.

Fidelity. But there is like a 3 day wait period after you initiate the funds transfer before they settle and you can use them on ENZC.

On a partially related note, anyone see that Greyhound movie?

I've been thinking about watching it.

No, a landlord's business is owning housing that someone else built. They expect payment from tenants for the risky task of making an investment.

Every business requires risky investment. I don't know why you mention that as if it were unique here.

It also doesn't matter that the landlord didnt build the home with their own hands. They paid for it. Either to have it built or to buy the property afterward. Then they rent it out to people who lack the ability to buy their own homes outright or who don't want the additional costs and responsibilities that come with actually owning the property. Since landlords are, generally, more responsible for the maintenance of the property.

Do you think someone too poor to buy their own property and save money will be able to afford to spend hundreds of dollars when their hot water heater, or thousands or dollars, when their central air conditioning unit breaks down? Their water well pump? And so on.

Generally, one of the benefits of renting is the tenant can call the landlord to have those maintenance issues take care of, without bearing the sudden financial burden themselves.

Sure, you might pivot to say "the landlord isn't doing the repair, the electrician, HVAC tech, or whatever does". Okay, so what? The landlord is the one bearing that cost. If you were buying instead of renting, you'd be on the hook for that on top of paying for your housing.

CommonJoe posted...

The issue is really centered around the reality that renters are paying down the debts of others who were fortunate enough to get something out of their debt.

If I pay off the loan of somebodies house, that house should at least be partially mine, but people go through the mental gymnastics to pretend rent money isnt mortgage money because it changes hands first.

Its literally like the bullshit my ex tried to pull with me. My third of the rent was 1/3 and that was what was agreed on.

Then her and her mother go and get a brand new car (not even used, literally brand new), and then all of a sudden I have to fork over an extra $400/mo in "rent" money? They tried so hard to gaslight me but I wasnt stupid. They had a $600 car payment they didnt have before and now I suddenly have to pay almost a grand in rent when I know the landlord didnt jack up the rent?

Fucking please.

No, just no.

A landlord may be using the rent you pay them to pay off the loan they used to purchase the house they are renting you.

That is no different that any business using the money people pay them for goods and services to pay for the loans they used to start their businesses. A landlord's business is providing housing, and if they are doing their job well they will maintain that housing for the tenant.

You aren't entitled to partial ownership in someone's business just because you are a patron. You don't get to partially own the farm that grows your food, just because your dollars paid to that farmer help him pay for the debt he took out to fund his operation.

That's a coincidence. I saw it for the second or third time yesterday. Hadn't watched it in years.

I really enjoyed that movie.

Yeah. Before COVID restrictions, I had joined a daily fitness class after I gained nearly ten pounds. I had managed to drop back down from 190 to 180, but since COVID, I've crept back up to 186.

It is difficult to find to to really work out when I have a wife and three kids. The two older ones aren't even going to school/preschool with the restrictions, so they're all always home.

avergaejoel, I think. I only think so, because I've seen his posts quoted, but never the posts themselves.

I don't know if anyone else has.

What is your comedy go-to?

I don't think I have a specific go-to.

I like comedy movies. Especially older ones. I could give examples of comedy movies I liked.

I like animated comedy shows. Animaniacs, South Park, Bob's Burgers, etc.

I haven't watched any stand-up in years, but I used to like some of that too.

I've also always liked the humorous angry rant style of comedy, ala Adam Carolla. He was perhaps the best part of Loveline back in the day.

More generally these days, I find it funny to watch or read content that makes fun of weirdos on the internet.

coolcono posted...

That is probably true, but what does the left do on every SNL, late show?

I wouldn't know. I, like many, haven't watch SNL in years.

Whether or not you enjoy conservative humor probably depends on whether or not you can get a laugh at "punching down".

I went through this entire topic mixing up Chris Chan with Sonichu. It read very differently as a result.

You could be forgiven the confusion as Chris has been claiming that he is currently Sonichu in the body of Chris for a while now. But he has also been claiming to be a goddess, that all fictional characters are actually real, and that there is an imminent "dimensional merge" upon us that will result in everyone either dying, merging into their self-insery OCs, or being able to live alongside all fictional characters in Cwcville.

Mostly intrinsic differences between men and women and the harsh realities of an uncaring world. I think the technological advancements of the 20th century did more for the expansion of women's roles in the world than nearly all of the feminist activism and rhetoric.

Perhaps the internet was a mistake afterall.

She is a horrible person. But he isn't all the way wrong here.

If the picture is even half accurate, then it is kind of an inconsistency to let them in, while restricting gatherings and travel in the US.

I dont think anyone had heard of her until she tried to start up a website to track and dox social media bullies, social autopsy. And only got attention for that because it was mid-Gamergate and she and Zoe Quinn got into an internet Slap-fight over it. Supposedly one of Quinn's CON buddies, Sarah Nyberg, hacked Owens to stir some shit.

After that, I think Owens did a flip in her grift lefty anti-bully activist, to right wing activist.

I'm actually in the market for an electric razor, because normal razors fuck up my skin.
