I'm not familiar with the ps3 version, but I'm seeing that loading screen mini games "will return" so is that something they did away with in a previous version?

But yes it'll be in 4k.

I haven't played any of the remakes, just the original. But this is something I could see myself getting.

Edit: i saw the news from PS, but it will also release on x1 and pc. Reports are that it'll only be $20.

Oh, maybe I'll get it after i play through all the other metroidvanias that are on my list.

Yes because he doesn't fit ulti's mental stereotype of what black people are like.

How do you feel about a white person using the word while quoting another person?

If quoting in text, I'm sure there's a proper way to handle it for academic papers. I'm not certain what the best answer here is, but i think that using the full word is acceptable. When on genius.com, for instance, I'd fully expect it to be written out.

When quoting in spoken speech, it gets even trickier. There aren't easy answers. But if it's a quote from a song, either silent pause for a moment or just saying "n" is probably the least offensive. I'm not an expert, and i might have overstepped by saying "never", but I do believe that 99999 times out of 100000, it is inappropriate for a non-black person to use.

but it's never ok for a non-black (and especially a white) person to use the word in any manner.

why do you have the authority to decide this

I personally don't. I believe that those who have historically been affected by the word do. There obviously won't be a unanimous consensus, but ask every black person you come across "what do you think of white people using the n word" and I'm willing yup bet that very few of them will be fine with it.

You missed how Texas made a statement against white supremacy. Which shouldn't have to be a thing but hey, that's where we're at these days.

I'm bewildered but also unsurprised at the implication that there is an acceptable time for people to say the n word

I guess you never listened to a song with it in it?

I know that you love to strip language of its historical context, but it's never ok for a non-black (and especially a white) person to use the word in any manner. This coming from someone who used to sing along with those songs and use the word.

His line about off-brand crackers did it for me. I think that might have been episode 4 or 5? I need to rewatch.

I've watched up to E5 and I don't remember that line.

I didn't have enough phone charge for a full episode last night, so I watched the first episode of "Friends from College". It was okay. Might continue watching.

It was during the funeral where he said "Man, these aren’t real Nilla Wafers.”

For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about - No action!

What does this even mean? Why bother rescinding it if you're not going to do anything? Or is he attempting to lull them into a false sense of security?

At least she's come to terms with the fact that he's using the office for personal benefit.

I don't know if granting all those privileges to as many people as come over is sustainable, and knowing what those costs are is a really important step to answering that question.

That's fair, and it makes sense that one country can't sustain 7 billion people.
But it's 800,000 people (about 0.2% of our estimate population according to Wikipedia), who pay additional fees to live here and don't qualify for government funded assistance.

Your definition of "a lot" is likely very different from what the government considers "a lot".

I think that your effort and enthusiasm would be better suited to demanding greater penalties for committing, and fewer incentives to commit, white collar crime, since that impacts the bottom line to a degree of a lot of zeroes.

And if you're only focusing on the benefits without simultaneously looking at the costs your analysis will be terrible.

you'll notice that my response to your initial post was to clarify that some of those costs are to private businesses and not the government, if you please

"Hey let's add Amiibo support to this game."
"I don't know how many additional units that would sell, but it's worth considering. How much is that gonna cost?"
"HOW DARE YOU ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COSTS OF IMPLEMENTING THIS FEATURE YOU NAYSAYING AMIIBOPHOBE"

This analogy fails because, again, you have not pondered the benefits and have only concentrated on the costs.

Your very own analogy plows through your 'argument'.

it's always good when people do the "I don't know the numbers" shtick while continually arguing for one conclusion

It's not a trick, I don't know the numbers. No one has stated any numbers. If you provide numbers I'm willing to change my mind in light of new evidence. I know it sounds like I'm trying to epically own you or whatever but I'm literally just asking for numbers.

Your argument leads to:

Maybe we should put the DREAMers to work building the wall as part of their reparations for costing us our tax dollars. #DACA.

As i said before, if you're only asking for the costs and not also simultaneously the benefits, your analysis will be terrible.

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/06/opinion/the-ivanka-trump-labor-women.html

Some key quotes:

Ivanka Trump, first daughter, strode into Washington back in January with big promises: She was passionate about helping “working women,” she said, and she was going to close the gender wage gap even if it killed her.

Well, not if it killed her, not literally, but even if it mildly inconvenienced her, she was on it 110 percent, for the women. Well, not if it mildly inconvenienced her, she’s very busy, but definitely if there was a wage transparency policy already in place, she would not openly and glowingly support overturning it.

Well, unless her dad wanted to overturn it because doing so satisfied two of his top 10 vindictive fixations (constraining women’s independence and destroying the legacy of America’s first black president), but Ms. Trump would absolutely offer a better replacement solution, such as saying the words “child care credit” and “female entrepreneurs” repeatedly near a camera while wearing a blush-pink toggle coat.

... Ms. Trump endorsed the decision to abandon an Obama-era initiative, set to go into effect next spring, requiring federal contractors and companies above a certain size to report salary data. “Ultimately,” Ms. Trump explained, “while I believe the intention was good and agree that pay transparency is important, the proposed policy would not yield the intended results.”

You’d think that a passionate anti-wage-gap crusader like Ms. Trump would relish a broad, ever-expanding data set illuminating her pet issue so that she could go after it with laser focus, but no. She is even more devoted than that. She hates the gender wage gap so much, she can’t even stand to know anything about it.

If Ms. Trump says that America is no place for Nazis and white supremacists, are we going to tell her she’s wrong? She probably just forgot to mention that some of those Nazis and white supremacists were marching in explicit support of her father. That can happen. As a working mom myself, I know it can be hard to keep all these details straight!

Ms. Ellison wrote, of Ms. Trump, that if “her main value in Washington is her access to her father and she is unable to sway him, then she is simply a 35-year-old former real estate and retail executive in over her head.”
