| Topic | Do you like this person: Chris Hardwick |
| streamofthesky 07/08/18 11:32:24 AM #72 | Ok, zeus never makes sense anymore, but the fact these posts were within hours of each other and both on the same topic is just especially bizarre: Zeus posted... Stockholm Syndrome. Abused women have also repeatedly gone back to their abuser who, in many cases, later kills them. But hey, by your same logic, putting somebody in a hospital couldn't really be *that* bad if they want to go back, right? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/3-poll-of-the-day/76786459/904673678 Zeus posted... And, I should mention, I dislike Rihanna even more than Chris Brown for her complete hypocrisy in talking about ending violence when she refused to press charges against Chris Brown and has come out defending him (possibly because she feels guilty for starting the physical altercation although he *completely* went overboard and well beyond what any reasonable person would do to defend himself). If she actually wanted to do something to end violence in America -- including violence against blacks -- all she had to do was set a fucking example by pressing charges. Instead, she tacitly encouraged black women everywhere to take back abusers. So, is Rihanna an innocent victim of Stockholm Syndrome to be given sympathy, or do you blame her for making the conscious decision to go back to her abuser and not press charges against him? And why are you so obsessed w/ Rihanna? |

I'm just not a huge fan of platforming (and I prefer 2D platforming anyway) nor open world games...Xenoblade does it so well that I love those games in spite of it, and XC1 was still very linear in reality (just w/ lots of stuff to the side) which is probably why I liked it so much. I'm sure if you like platformer type games and open world, Odyssey is amazing. But I don't think it'd be for me. adjl posted... streamofthesky posted...Once Octopath Traveler and Bayonetta 3 are out, it'll make more sense to get one. Well, there's also the issue that I just got PS4 the end of last year and quickly built up a ~15 game backlog that I'm only halfway through (some for other systems, most for PS4) now. I'm thinking of getting Switch around Black Friday if there's a good sale, and hopefully by then will be mostly through w/ my backlog. |

| Topic | Why is pork the cheapest cut of meat? |
| streamofthesky 07/07/18 11:27:17 AM #28 | Zeus posted... Well, the simple answer is that it isn't. Chicken is the cheapest type of meat. However, chicken and pork are going to be cheaper than beef because beef is more expensive to raise. Sure, but there's more to it than that. About 10 years ago, the price of beef skyrocketed over the course of a few years to nearly double what it was before, way ahead of inflation. I've read this is because beef is becoming a lot more popular in China, and there's a billion fucking people there, so it created a huge gulf in supply vs. demand. Makes sense, but has fuck all to do w/ the cost of raising cows. And it sucks....steak's my favorite food :( |

Both spouses in a healthy, loving marriage are gonna "just go with it" at some points when they're not really in the mood for the sake of their partner, who is. That's not anything remotely even in the same category as being assaulted or against your will. |
| Topic | Do you think that people who didn't vote have a right to complain about the |
| streamofthesky 07/07/18 2:28:31 AM #8 | I think people who didn't vote b/c they despised the options given to them have way more right to complain than the people who voted for the politicians that won and turned out to be so awful that now even their own voters want to complain about them. And yeah, 2016 was basically the "fuck you, millennials!" election. Both of them were like under 20% favorability w/ people 30 and under. I don't blame people who didn't want to vote that year, it was an amazingly terrible pair of choices. I still think it's best to vote just to show you're not just lazy/apathetic, and you genuinely do just HATE the main candidates. I voted for Gary Johnson. He had no chance, but he's at least decent and honest. |

| streamofthesky 07/06/18 5:03:01 PM #28 | Tough to pick just one favorite genre... If I had to put them roughly in order... Video game soundtracks (mostly from JRPGs, they have such great music) J-Pop Celtic Gothic Chant New Age (or whatever you want to classify Enigma, Delerium, Ancient Future, etc.. as) Classical "Epic Music" (like Brand X or Two Steps from Hell) K-Pop Eurobeat Electronic |

| streamofthesky 07/06/18 4:46:55 PM #16 | Zeus posted... Ryan Si posted...Zeus posted...He's ugly, although it's mostly a mix of his haircut and weight, both of which he could work on. More importantly, 60 years is fucking insane. Unless he's got a long string of priors, there's no reason to lock him up that long. The justice system in this country is terrible. He repeatedly stabbed them in the head and neck. The fact they survived has absolutely nothing to do w/ his intent or actions, and is pure luck. He tried very hard to brutally murder these people, and luck is the only thing that kept it from being a double homicide. 60 years sounds just fine. |

| Topic | PS1 vs N64 Survival Wrap-up |
| streamofthesky 07/05/18 5:25:21 PM #10 | PuddingBoy posted... I bet streamofthesky is LIVID Nah, TC has repeatedly shown his bias towards OoT. Just changing the rules (FF 8) and "forgetting" which game was actually next on the list (Tekken 3) proves it. Him pushing ahead with this false narrative that OoT defeated two games it never should have competed against is just expected at this point. TC probably thinks Andrew Jackson's victory at New Orleans, 2 weeks after the peace treaty to end The War of 1812 had been signed (trans-Atlantic communications were a bit slower back then) affected the terms of the peace treaty, too. |

That's great, I'm actually impressed by the sophistication and taste of this board. Tekken 3 was pitted against OoT before FF 9 despite being higher in the list in an actual case of bias, unlike the "FF VIII looks like FF VII !" nonsense, and thus never should have even been a poll |

| streamofthesky 07/02/18 10:56:14 PM #13 | Golden Road posted... Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because she cannot prove he raped her, does not mean he didn't rape her. It's not just a case of "can't prove he did it." She's continued to harass this man and ruin his life. He might possibly be guilty, but there's a good chance he's innocent as well, and legally he is. We're trashing her because of her actions after the alleged incident and reporting him to the police. That was justified. The unending vicious slander and attacks is not. But yes, at this point she's faced with actual consequences for her actions so she's definitely not going to recant and admit she lied, even if she did, because then she'd lose in court for sure. She's the one that took it this far. |

| streamofthesky 07/02/18 9:34:49 PM #3 | https://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2018/06/man_brandishes_gun_at_families.html Lt. Michael Johnson said Sealy is accused of picking a fight with a protester and pushing the protester. The protester pushed Sealy back, knocking him down. That's when Sealy is accused of pulling out a gun. 1. Picks a fight and shoves someone, presumably someone he thought he could overpower 2. Gets knocked on his fucking ass by the target of his shove 3. Immediately pulls a gun out when bested physically like the fake tough guy that he is I feel like it's an important note to point out what a fucking wimp this loser is. Because public shaming is an important tool in meting out justice and discouraging these acts. It's also really cathartic and fun. :D |
| Topic | This 22 y/o Kid is SUING a GIRL for 6 MILLION because she DESTROYED his life!!! |
| streamofthesky 07/02/18 7:29:44 PM #6 | He's got a tough fight in the US court system, which is stacked against innocent men like him, but I hope he wins and takes her to the cleaners, she's basically destroyed his whole life in a continued campaign of slander and harassment. Tested 25 hours after and it couldn't even be proven if they had sex, no record of the injuries she claimed, etc.... Cripes. Out of curiosity I do wonder why she decided to ruin his life, what he did to piss her off so much. But that's not really important, and ultimately victim blaming. |

| Topic | Did you know that Pregnant women get 1 YEAR Maternity Leave in Canada??? |
| streamofthesky 06/30/18 4:22:15 PM #10 | dioxxys posted... Sounds just like more incentive for companies not to hire women I recall reading that Russia of all places has very generous maternity leave (but not paternity), and it was cited as a reason that companies there are less likely to hire young women. Maybe that's changed though, this was over a decade ago. |
| Topic | This 29 y/o Man Murdered his PARENTS because they CUT him from their WILL!!! |
| streamofthesky 06/30/18 11:41:05 AM #5 | My parents aren't particularly responsible with money, and I've expected my whole life that I'll get no "inheritance" at all. So I wouldn't really care if I'm in their wills or not, and have never asked. All I ask if not to have to support them in old age too much, they mostly left me to fend for myself, so...fair is fair. Also, this guy is a moron. He wanted an inheritance and is mad he got written out of one. Instead of trying to convince them to put him back in the will, he immediately kills them and guarantees he won't get any money. I mean, I'm stating the obvious here, but it needs to be said. Not only is he a monster, he is unbelievably fucking stupid! |
| Topic | Did you know that Pregnant women get 1 YEAR Maternity Leave in Canada??? |
| streamofthesky 06/30/18 11:30:54 AM #3 | Something closer to the US's model than Canada's. 1 year paid leave is insane, and unfair to the other workers who now have to pick up the slack for the missing person for the same wage. (of course, in the US, they have to pick up the slack for the same wage even though the company's pocketing the money that would've gone to the mother on leave, which is pretty bs too) Probably 2-3 weeks paid leave for mothers and fathers at most, and then as much unpaid leave as they want (with protection from losing their job for the extended absence). Requiring the parent to inform the company of the length of unpaid absence up front is fair, too. So if it is going to be long, they know to hire a temp replacement. |
| Topic | Have you had this classic sandwich. Day 8: The Reuben |
| streamofthesky 06/29/18 10:38:23 PM #9 | Well, I hate sauerkraut and corned beef, rye bread is pretty terrible, and swiss cheese is one of the blandest cheeses I've ever tasted (I have no problem with it, I'd just go with most other cheeses before it). Overall an utterly disgusting sandwich and I can't help but laugh at how it's like someone tried to take everything I hate and put it all together. Made the mistake of trying it once, because my friend assured me that everything together makes it better than the sum of its parts, or whatever. The awful smell alone should've turned me off, but good sport that I am, I actually tried eating the thing. Tried. It came back out onto a napkin.... |

I mean, I was trying to give a broad sampling of my favorite RPGs across multiple franchises. I agree III is great and IV is still a decent game. I did want to recommend all the main Suikoden games, but figured the suggestion would be brushed off if I didn't pick a few specific titles out. I want more than any other game, a Suikoden that takes place chronologically after III. I really liked how the plot felt like it was moving towards some sort of final conflict, probably centered around Harmonia, and would like to see a firm conclusion to the various plots. It was also intriguing seeing the antagonists' perspective in the post-game and seeing I always thought, based on that it'd be really interesting as well to have (spoilers only b/c it's impossible to talk about w/o mentioning the spoiler above) |

I always interpreted it as Spider-Man being there as he breaks into the car, then sneaks in while the criminal isn't looking. To showcase how sneaky he can be and how damn fast compared to regular humans (similar to the Flash Gordon "fight scene" in the original trilogy, where Peter is literally just standing there, watching Flash's punch in slow motion) Been a long time so it's hard to remember little details, but I could've sworn there was even a moment after the thief got the car open and seeing Spidey in the backseat where he thinks he hears a noise and looks away. |

And it has absolutely nothing to do w/ actual research advancements. Maybe I'm just cynical. |
