Yep, Bioware fans are mental.

Phew, no more Jack Keane or Omerta holding it up.

Waiting for it to get above 0 C so I can launch an assault on some bothersome ice. Thinking a soldering iron might be a good trick to deal with the formation of ice on the downspout as trying to bash it with a hammer isn't practical due to the proximity of the the spout and the furnace exhaust. But at least it's sunny today.

Select all, mark as read. Works for me. Anyone who had something important will nag you once it's known you're back anyway.

Seems that one will lead to the other in most cases.

"Some" ?

Pulldowns of 40 items that aren't sorted alphabetically is my pet peeve.

Helps to enforce typing though.

Wondering again at why our furnace exhaust blows right on a downspout, with the winter, an impressive amount of ice is there. So now to figure a way to break that up without taking down the downspout.

Oh forgot the C&C 1 intro. "At least your mother tipped well"

Problems when the targets are unarmored, that was something Bowden mentioned alot in BHD - book also has an awesome description of the effects of .50 BMG rounds on human targets, Ranger gunner put 4-5 of them into some guy.

So what about idealized body types, rather than 'inhuman' ones ?

Malc I hope you realize that strip clubs are demeaning to women and against the principles of social justice I do frequent strip clubs sometimes, I actually enjoy partying with strippers. They are easy to understand and don't tend to complicate things. Its funny but when I first went to strip clubs I thought I had to save the girls from this "iniquitous" lifestyle . Everyone had a story about why they were doing what they doing but I realized later the girls were just reading my concern and attempting to connect with me so I would feel relaxed. If I now go to strip clubs I do best thing you can do, buy them a few drinks, treat them politely, chat about unimportant things and then pay them for the nights excursions. Keep it simple and don't try to over analyze things is a strip club Well, good for you and all, and I thought one should go to a club, beat the strippers and then steal all the booze as proper behaviour. But over analyzing things is fun sometimes, try to solve a problem that doesn't exist and so on.

Watching the Bastion once again give it all to stop the Shivans was a special moment when I first played FS2. A lot of the FS2 cutscenes are good, with Bosch's monologues. Even if they are disgusting Inner Sphere savages, this briefing cutscene I always enjoyed for it being realistic in terms of the delivery.

On the Wildstar forums ? Well I guess that would help.

Well, not to assault your ego, but you three or four don't count as plenty. As for the Wildstar complaining, hm, that'd be worth looking into, though probably a fair amount of work to find posters complaining and go through each of their histories to determine the gender.

Workplace discussion today was on how one could set up a system for a strip club to work with coins rather than bills. Got to love Fridays

Not seeing that myself, though my encounters with the gaming proles is just Reddit these days so that skews things a bit if I were to say, spend time on RPS or Gamasutra, etc. Granted it does get commented on if it's particularly standout for women but nothing too much. Heh, is funny these days how pretty much everything related to gaming involves being unhappy and complaining (I think that dude with the grating nasal voice had a video on that).

Huh, well ok, I can kinda see it looking closer. My mistake then

I guess one would need to look at if these portrayals are harmful to people first. Which is hard to prove either way, thinking on it.

Looks like she's going to attack with extreme nagging.

Eh, there's still value in discussing things, in my opinion. Even if it just comes from having an improved understanding on the varying perspectives. Even then, that a mind isn't changed immediately doesn't mean it eventually won't. You could probably zip back to earlier posts of mine on this forum which would include me being confused towards a woman saying that she'd only be able to play Alpha Protocol if she could play as a woman, complete with me justifying my position based on my experience of "I have no problems playing a Lara Croft or something similar" as though her experiences and preferences should be analogous to mine. Yeah, the value in that is probably either enjoying reading your own stuff or just practicing expressing the idea. Both have some merits, especially the latter as that helps in later battles. Being only able to play a game if you can play as your gender is something a bit silly I find, ultimately your PC's avatar isn't experiencing anything, you are - your choices and the reactions that drive them (well for an honest rather than alternative exploring playthrough anyway). I guess it's a matter of letting oneself go for a little while. Fairly rare outrage over a game, mainly seen it for the Witcher games, myself.
