i mean i can't blame him for starting to collapse if he's actually engaging with people because it's an untenable position. even by its own framework, definitions purposefully don't exist and explanations, unfortunately, keep the parts people are talking about vague and with unknown standards. you can't actually argue for the rule when the rule doesn't actually exist in any clear way and is admitted to having no reasonable definition that can apply, you can only shove it through. argument and conversation demand reason, the new rule explicitly lacks it.
tbh I almost sympathize with him as a person on this whole mess and having to be the sacrificial damage control lamb.

But he's getting paid for it so nah not actually.

worse than that Reg, CE is at the forefront of this issue because that's where a lot of are the mods come and where a lot of things get modded, partially because it's where a lot of people went to after the politics boards were killed.
Yeah, let me rephrase this a bit.

I think that if the board had literally any other name, it wouldn't be hit with the intersection of "This is where the politics goes" and "we're quarantining it". And I also get the feeling that, without the politics aspect, it probably wouldn't get the quarantine either. Though maybe I am wrong about that last part.

While I can't commit to anything at this moment beyond hoping moderation and the community becomes more positive overall. Ideally creating a more positive environment allows Fandom to invest more resources into it. Bringing back bounties for a few grand is cool, hypothetically speaking $300,000 is a lot cooler. Roughly 1,000 people online each day is a number but what if that was 10,000 with proper cross-linking, clean up, and things to do?

The main problem with TX roads, especially in DFW, is that they're permanently under construction and the drivers suck (unregistered cars with fake paper plates are endemic here, sadly). And also that they're necessary to get anywhere because the public transit sucks by design.

The roads themselves are fine and of good quality relative to elsewhere though.

I'm gonna be honest, it takes a fair bit for me to actively disregard and not even consider a sports series that hits my radar. Which is why I watched ep 1 of Highspeed Etoile (But won't be watching ep 2)

What it actually is, at least so far, is a terrible comedy. The amnesia guy has seemingly reverted to the mindset of a three-year old and spouts nothing but the most juvenile jokes. I lost count of how many jokes he made about nipples and none of them were funny. His friend, a superstar pitcher, also has the personality of a piece of cardboard.
This, however, is enough. Thanks for sparing me this shit Roba.

lastly i went and watched the new bartender and uh.... so comments i've generally been seeing are saying this is a BETTER anime than the original? like seriously i even went over the first episode of the original straight after (for the benefit of my flatmate) and i cannot believe anyone would say this, let alone for it to be the consensus (it has better ratings too...)
I haven't seen the original Bartender, but I thought that the first episode of the new one was pretty good. It's probably not going to blow anybody's minds or be talked about as best of the season/year, but unless the first episode is the best by a lot I strongly doubt I'll regret watching it.

Or is this a commentary that the original is fantastic, rather than the new one being bad?

Without having seen the last episode yet (but have been watching it every week), I agree. The show has oozed potential greatness from start to finish, and I stuck along every week in hopes that it would finally capitalize, and... It just never did.

I do think the two main characters are quite likeable though.

The standalone app is just a Chromium applet (Electron)

I can't imagine it being a difficult feature to implement
Electron has more ways to hook into the underlying OS and fewer security features than the actual browser does, because it is running "trusted" (in theory) code, as opposed to a browser which can go to a web page that can be running theoretically anything in JS. Discord could implement it if browsers allowed them to, but also a global hotkey listener, if not handled properly, is functionally equivalent to a full-on keylogger.

Even if you don't think Discord is/would use it that way, it's not a stretch to say that other malicious sites (or even malicious ads on otherwise benign sites) could/would.

I still don't understand why people actually willingly download a program when it was designed to be run in browser.
The ability to have a global push-to-talk hotkey in voice conversations (Meaning, without needing to click back into the discord window) is actually quite important to me, and last I checked the browser version didn't support that. Admittedly, if not for that, I'm not sure I'd use the standalone version.

like, maybe I'm dumb, but I definitely needed to leave it running overnight or while I was at work a couple times to progress and couldn't find anything to tweak to make it fast.

I also tried DistInc but bounced off it for w/e reason.

Rocket League (> Geoguesser, since it was brought up) > Smash > Other fighters >= RTS >>> League of Legends > Other Mobas >= Shooters

I think this is the "I don't know these games" list, so basically just "ease of understanding without knowledge" crossed with innate hype. League beats other Mobas for having solid visual clarity even if you don't know the game. I tried getting into watching Dota a few times and the lack of knowledge was not the reason I couldn't follow the game. They're all very low tier for this though. Shooters, I also had a lot of trouble trying to follow and understand, though that could just be the specific ones I tries (OW,CSGO) specifically being specifically awful zero-knowledge watches

Smash beats other fighters for sheer breadth of iconic characters.

Ever17 gets mentioned because it's the same writer (Albeit much older than Zero escape). Both it and AI are good choices (Especially since you already played AI 1)

Danganronpa is the usual recommendation here because the writer is friends with Uchikoshi and it still generally fills the "murder mystery" sort of vibe, but it's quite different and way more anime trope-y. I would say to give it a shot if you really want more to scratch the same sort of itch ZE does, but you don't need to rush at it if you're already not feeling it.

I will, a full decade later, decide to recommend Umineko a bit. It's got hella flaws, but if you get into it it's pretty fun. It's a straight sound/visual novel though, with no direct gameplay or choices.

Ace Attorney is also beloved by Board 8 as a whole for very good reasons, too, so you won't really go wrong by playing more of it.

Shit take.

It was very good the first time. It wasn't flawless by any means (a lot of wasted potential with the plot, specifically), and it had performance issues on the Switch, but it was still very fun to play and holds up against the rest of the franchise.

My view on ZTD overall is still that it's "very entertaining", but it has a few things (Mostly around the ending) that drag it down from "good". I thought Delta was so over the top stupid that he was hilarious, especially with his (English) voice, for example. And given the memes, I'm clearly not alone in this.

Junpei and Akane are another example of this that you guys have kinda but not really touched on. They're not particularly well written, and Punished Junpei doesn't really make that much sense in the context of the rest of the series. But I was still entertained by that dynamic, even while acknowledging it wasn't good, or good for the plot.

I know people praise D team writing, but I generally like Q team writing. It just kinda sucks that the team is so unlikable, but I liked the reveal and the overall weirdness surrounding Q team. Some foreshadowing regarding this:

1) There's various dialogue for Q team scene that makes way more sense knowing that the leader is an old, blind/deaf, wheelchair-bound man named Q, such as Eric referring to someone on the team as "old man", Sean asking if a certain someone on the team could speak, various Q members saying "you all" rather than "the both of you", and all the suspicion Eric has towards Sean and his concerns about the Q team's leader.
2) The status screen tracks Q's status, not Sean. This is most clear in the Diana/Sigma ending where Q is alive (exactly when the children are birthed) but Sean is dead.
3) Decontamination scene shows 3 corpses and scenes where Sean + Q die often have two thumps rather than just one.
4) Similarly to how Nonary game suggests 9 participants, this is the Decision game. Deci also means "ten." There's also the X-passes, with X being 10.
5) There are various scenes suggesting shadows of 4 people or someone beyond Mira/Sean/Eric: https://imgur.com/a/44wYR
6) The X-passes for Q clearly do not relate to Sean, like how all the other X-passes refer to their specific character.
7) Zero Time Dilemma = Me? I'm Zero. I'm Delta.
8) When inputting an answer for who killed Mira and during the showdown between Sean/Mira/Eric, putting in "Q" and putting in "me/myself" gives radically different answers.
Some of these (And significantly more of the things in the reddit thread you pulled them from) are blatantly coincidental bullshit that somebody tried to call a "clue" ex post facto

Some of them are legitimately good and interesting clues to the whole thing about Delta being there all along.

The only thing really jarring about the reveal scene itself is Eric calling Sean by name after not having done so at literally any other point prior. Which, yes, it would've ruined the reveal if he did. But it also makes no sense for him to start doing so there in particular which makes it jarring.

Which is better than certain things that are just very hard random.
