You show off loot in-game to other players, not to streamers. The vast majority of players can't even get 3 viewers if they tried. That has been the appeal of loot systems ever since the first online game and probably even before with tabletop RPGs. The only real modern innovation is that non-RPGs have loot systems (and that was thanks to TF2, not Twitch).

That story is hot af. Definitely wish something like that would've happened to me.

It's pretty clear that you didn't do anything wrong, especially since consent was very strong the entire time. But that's because I have hedonistic tendencies. Ulti's incel-tier justification of "she was gonna do it anyway" is super weak and bad, but all the people blasting you for "ruining a marriage" etc are way worse. As if the instant a man gets married, the entirety of humanity now has a responsibility to ensure the wife remains tied to him. The dream of a weak straight man.

If you're only across the bridge then uber in/out is very viable and probably much cheaper than the $20/day parking. Definitely sucks to drive.

The only bars are in the hotel restaurants, which are hella overpriced and obviously don't let you take it to go. Way better to bring your own bottles and fill a cup or flask in your room to carry around. Technically alcohol is not allowed in the convention areas so you have to sneak it (usually easy to get away with but the concert halls are strict).

Side note this year we're selling flasks for $10 at our booth with our game logo on them so you can get one there for cheap (tell your friends)

You cant destroy racist arguments because theyre not logic-based

Totally wrong. It's just way harder to counter the emotional argument. Well different, not necessarily harder I guess. At the core of every "logical" belief is an emotional one so you have to do this either way.

you need to interact with these people to know the nuances in their ways of thinking... that's how you destroy their arguments

I know the nuances of their thinking and I destroy the arguments constantly

It's very easy to ignore in the best case, or convert into emotional energy that reinforces their beliefs in the worst case

but you fucking live in israel so i doubt you seriously need me to inform you about the country's human rights violations. it's clear that you're purposefully closing your eyes when it comes to this and you think israel can do no wrong because you consider arabs to be evil (as evidenced by your "i wish all arabs were like you!" comment to yoblazer, as if him being a cool arab guy is some kind of super weird anomaly).

Americans are the same way. Nanis pretends he has some extra perspective as someone living in a war torn land or something but millions of Americans have the exact same mindset and beliefs. It's all the same fearmongering from the same people.

Who loves the cheese more? The mouse getting fed for free, or the exterminator who laid it on the mousetrap?

Israel exists because white people allowed it. The instant white people want to start massacring the jews again, they can and they will. That's why Israel should not exist. It's not a legitimate state, just a temporary appeasement to the globalists while white nationalism builds back up to enough goodwill to spring the trap. This is why Israel is absolutely adored and perfectly flawless to nationalists. It is the ultimate answer to their problem.

I've only watched S1 and it was 5ish years ago. The first half or so is still pretty awesome, but when they start coming together all the interesting plot lines and characterization evaporates and the faux-anime stuff is all that's left.

And no I'm not gonna put on baby gloves and give you a medal for posting your opinion before I lightly disagree with it. Your opinion is shit. That's it. If you take that as a personal attack then that's your problem. I read it and responded to it earnestly, that's respect enough.

Johnbob and Drak were literally agreeing 90% with you too. If the only way to "respect your opinion" is to agree 90% then that's so sad. I agree 0%.

In the future I can do like Omni though and not acknowledge you personally. Just ask rhetorical questions to the wind. I actually do that a lot already, but then people cry about me being too vague and indirect. That I should take a stance and just say what I mean directly.

tl;dr I can't stop your crying

lol read your own post. Look at how much you hedged what you said, going as far as invoking Ulti. YOU yourself have a problem with what you said. You can lash out at me if it makes you feel better but your conflict comes from inside. This is a good thing btw since it shows you have some form of self-awareness.

And no, contrary to popular belief, it wouldn't be better if you threw away all self-awareness and very confidently made your dumb statement instead.

It's like preferring the lead developer of your Smart TV to be vegan or something

Smart TV creators are not auteurs. It's like preferring your chef to be vegan.

Usually I don't care too much about the dev, but increasingly often it is a big enough deal that it ruins the game (or makes the game, if the effect is positive). I do think it's good if people care about who is behind their entertainment and the stuff they buy in general. Beyond avoiding support for nazis etc, it also leads to consumers caring about mass layoffs and other kinds of injustices in the entertainment industry, which is really good.

Except I did mention shitty stuff from Season 5 that didn't have anything to do with feminism
And I can name thousands more things

Right but you just had to end up there. It cheapens all your other discussion about the show cuz it seems like you were just itching to get to this lame angle.

You know me. You know what my opinions are. And I liked Life is Strange because it felt natural. It felt like they just decided that this is going to be the theme of the story and went with it
In House of Cards it just feels like they slapped it in because they wanted to create controversy or just push their agenda

And yet you still would rather blame the feminism instead of the shitty writers that were ruining the show shit since S2

If you don't try to blame feminism for every little problem in the world, you won't ever have to say things like "I don't want to sound like Ulti"

If it's your first time there's no way you will be ready for what to expect, but there are definitely some ways you should prepare yourself. Basically, this isn't like comic con or pax where a bunch of nerds get together and wait in line to buy shit and see some C-list celebrity. It is a straight up 72 hour long raging party and absurd nonsense. It often includes some celebrities, but they are equals among the rest of the crowd who are largely creators in one way or another as well. The whole event is made up of volunteers and the community's contributions. It's a culture of creation and respect for art and artists, not consumption and pride.

Come with about 3x as much alcohol as you think would be reasonable. Everyone is drunk constantly. Beyond the concerts and raves, every "panel" after 10pm-ish is a party in disguise. The arcade is a massive party 24/7. Room parties, etc. Not sure about during the day since I'm usually working but from what I can tell people never stop drinking.

And definitely check out the indie games showcase area next to the arcade. There's 60+ of us and there's so many awesome games, with the devs standing right there to talk to. Come back periodically over the weekend and you can catch tournaments and other kinds of events or just try to beat highscores and such. Lots of games are even available 24/7.

HoC was bad since S1, but at least it was charming enough. It lost its charm and was just plain bad in S2, and then in S3 they really put in a ton of effort to make the worst show they possibly could. I can't imagine how bad it was 3 more seasons later.

Fair reasoning though. She can always play X after this one.
And yeah X is probably harder overall, but it requires far less arcane games literacy (especially ATB) so a non-gamer would understand it more. X also has some of the best in-game tutorialization in any RPG ever.

P3's nebulous themes are what make it by far the best story through the end. It stays mysterious and leaves things up to your own interpretation.

P5's villains are cool but they are so clear cut that they HAVE to compete each other. And unfortunately Kamoshida was the best one, so the story couldn't ever really reach that height again.
