Um, no. You're confusing "depression" with "mood disorder". Depression is a specific disorder with specific symptoms.

Wait, they prescribed you anti-depressants when you describe your main problem as perpetual rage? That's... odd? Depression is usually characterized by an absence of strong emotions or even emotions at all.

Does your SO watch with you? My wife wouldn't even give it a glance. She does, and so does my brother's wife and my friend's SO. Maybe you need to rethink your chosen female.

Captain Cold is amazing. Apparently men find his overacting hilarious and women find it super annoying.

It's still in development and gaining traction. There was no way it could go straight into operation, because then it would be "that #GamerGate website" and not a game review platform.

There you go again, of course not. But it's alright, we all have our bad days, no need to push it. You're excused. Yeah, I highly doubt you would see it. Of course you're not making sense, you throw in things that had nothing to do with GG to begin with: Like Bethesda and Ubisoft are making **** games and are treating the employees badly, while a problem in itself it was not part of the scandal; how eCelebs are using their fanbase to ****post on youtube and finally you said that Hatred was made out pure politics by GamerGate while conveniently forgetting this game quite unknown outside of Postal-fans gor banned from Steam and GamerGate made sure that it was allowed back in. Quite simply you were angry that GamerGate wasn't what you wanted it to be and you had to vent for a bit, which is perfectly ok in itself. No, you get it. I am talking about things that had nothing to do with GG. Because GG was about "we just want games to be about games". Except, all those things were all GG talked about. Ever. You yourself posted about nothing but identity politics and post-modernism and Noam Chomsky and Richard Dawkins in our "journalism in the game industry threads". #GamerGaters say they want people to keep politics out of games, but all evidence shows that they just want different politics in games.

There you go again, of course not. But it's alright, we all have our bad days, no need to push it. You're excused. Yeah, I highly doubt you would see it. The SJWs came in with their politics and made into a culture war. Gamers just wanted to be left alone and play, but nooooo..... Except literally every discussion we've had on this forum had you talk about nothing but Noam Chomsky's political views. That sounds like games to me.

LOL. "We want it to just be about games... it's the truth of the larger culture war!" Get your politics out indeed.

EDIT: Okay, now that I've taken some time to become less snarky: No Volourn, that is not what I care about. People can defend themselves all they want. But there's no such thing as defending yourself pre-emptively. You'll find twenty posts about everything being "SJW nazis" in comment sections these days and then there's not even someone to make the accusation first. To explain it in terms you like to use: That's not defending yourself, that's plastering your politics everywhere like you're some kind of crazy SJW nazi to prevent any opinion being posted except your own. It's a kind of censorship, done by Nazis. Nazis like #GamerGate.

RANT TIME: Yeah, that's why I joined it originally. I saw this stuff first hand as a game dev. I left because that's not what it's about. Even if it used to be, it's no use even trying to discuss this on the hashtag. It gets ignored. Whenever I tried to bring the conversation back to this, the response came down to "who cares, a perpetually offended feminist said something stupid about us on twitter I should be equally perpetually offended about". Actual game talk gets consistently gets less talk than some white knight or tumblrina making nasty comments every single time. Hell, the hashtag was at its most busy when it was about a scientist's T-shirt and absolutely not about games. And the rare occassions when it finally did talk about games, it was always defending bad practices from publishers that practically abuse their game dev employees because otherwise you're "attacking gamers", taking the side of utter corporate ********s like Bethesda and UbiSoft over game devs that actually needed support. Even to most of those that claim it's about artistic freedom in games it's not really, and honestly judging by how much nonsense you have interjected about post-modernist bull**** I count you among those. Absolute tripe like Hatred doesn't become a runaway success because it has merit, but because politics. #GamerGate injects more arm-chair politics into gaming than feminists were ever able to, and companies are using it to promote games consumer lifestyle, not a promotion of game merit. Instead of paying GameSpot for Mountain Dew and Doritos ads, they've leveraged angry nerds to make viral memes about it while they pretend everyone else is a sheep. You can "no true scotsman" those "e-celebs" as much as you want, but guess what, they and their followers are the movement's majority and they think you're no true scotsman. And with them overflowing comment sections everywhere to the point comment sections in gaming media are going extinct, they're more annoying and pervasive than SJW tumblrinas could ever hope to be. BasedGamer was the only good thing to come out of #GamerGate. The peepz behind that were smart in leveraging nerd rage for a good cause - killing metacritic, a tool highly abused by feminists and #GamerGate to bury and destroy anything that had a wiff of "badthink" about it, instead of on its own merit.

Absolutely nothing. It's just that GamerGate likes to inject itself into everything gender politics. It's kinda like the gender politics of gender politics. I used to be annoyed at progressives butting in everywhere and decrying everything as sexist and racist and ableist and transphobic. It was inevitable that there would be pushback. I just wish the pushback would realize they became what they hate and then got even worse. There are about ten idiots on the internet going "omg crazy SJWs are at it again" than there are crazy SJWs. They're ironically doing a much better job at making literally everything about oppression olympics than the SJWs are. Horseshoe theory at its finest.

Goddammit, I looked at this for five minutes to work out whether it was a positive or negative.

I don't hate anchovies in general, I just haven't found a pizza recipe it goes with. Tomatoes and cheese seem to just bring out the worst of those little fishies. They go fantastic with creamy sauces though.

Urgh, if there's one thing I never understood it's putting anchovies on pizza. EDIT: I guess I shouldn't judge, I've made kebab pizzas.

Question - in the discussion on the other thread I noticed people put spinach on pizza. I've never seen this. Is it any good?

I'd trust that business insider source more if it didn't just copy a pie-chart off a random Quora post's study that does not include multiple options. Unless I'm grossly misreading it, it counts a single primary topping per pizza sold and then "assumes" 25% of them have two toppings. Quote: "The dataset does not include the impact of multiple options as this would produce unwieldily datasets." EDIT: Serious, Hurl is right. There needs to be more research, nobody agrees on anything except people like meat: business insider copy and pasted from quora, but so what? *chuckle* you are posting wiki sources for chrissakes, so am not seeing much room for complaint. the business insider does take from quora, but they specific noted the source o' the study and linked to the aforementioned quora posting that described methodology... as 'posed to your compelling polls? a colorful pie chart included to show pineapple on par with spinach? how is that more compelling? is it even helping your position? Pretty sure I pointed out how unreliable my sources were. Several times. I owned up to it. You don't have to get salty simply because I said I don't think yours is any more reliable. But since them's fightin' woids I'll just say I'd probably take the word of Mintel over a random Quora post with questionable methodology, and to be perfectly honest I consider even Wookiepedia to be a more reliable source on real world things than Business Insider at all times and doubly so when they're just copying a little fluff piece. Kiss and make up? On a side note, I've never seen a pizza with spinach. The fact that some studies claim more pizzas have spinach than pineapple boggles my tiny brain. I would have thought it was more likely to get broccoli or artichoke hearts or even mango on a pizza than spinach.

You should be able to. You know, I don't even know why I looked it up. I don't even like pineapple pizza.

I don't know about custom toppings but when I was a stockboy at 16 here in the Netherlands the frozen pineapple pizza consistently outsold any other kind of frozen pizza by a massive margin. Outside of that, Wikipedia states on Hawaiian Pizza: "It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales." Couldn't find anything about anything else, but as far as I know Pineapple IS a pizza staple worldwide and since Hurl is from the US I'd say there too. EDIT: A pizza history fansite claims: http://www.pizzabusiness.altervista.org/the-history-of-pizza.html "Hawaiian pizza has ham and pineapple toppings and is especially popular in the Western United States. Ham and pineapple is also a popular topping combination in Australia, Canada and Sweden, but notably not in Hawaii. This type is also common within the EU as Pizza Hawaii. " Market Research claims: http://www.mintel.com/blog/food-market-news/americas-favorite-pizza-toppings-top-ten-preferences "According to Mintel’s latest Pizza Restaurant research in the US, more than half of consumers say that they usually order pepperoni (65%), sausage (54%), or mushroom (51%). This is followed by: extra cheese (45%), onion (39%), green pepper (37%), olive (34%), bacon (31%), ham (29%) and pineapple (21%)." I don't know how accurate those sources are, but seems legit to me.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable and obvious title to me?

Yes, I assume her supermodel thinness is not a result of someone never working out. Still, if the studio had wanted an Amazonian Wonder Woman, they would not have cast Gadot in the first place. There is no way the studio wanted her to buff up, and probably would have fired her had she done so. People like to point at male actors like Christian Bale's Batman for how amazingly he buffed up. Except, he nearly lost the job because the studio didn't think he'd buff up in time. The fact that Batman was going to be extremely buff in Nolan's Batman movies was a fact far before Bale was cast. These things are not let up to the actors in blockbuster production.

Her very casting implies that they're going for supermodel. I wouldn't be surprised if her contract had a built in weight condition where if she gains any weight (muscle or otherwise) she would have been replaced. That's pretty standard in Hollywood. I'd agree with you if I thought she had any say in the matter. I'm more leaning towards "studio doesn't understand the character and are being complete and utter morons" explanation. When's the last time WB made a good superhero movie? Dark Knight?

You'll get microwave exploding eggs and like it! Seriously though, if I need more than one I'll just cook them on the stove. If I just want one egg for breakfast it's just so much less of a hassle. Except when they explode.
