Ohhh, homework sounds fun. What about?

Nonsense, this is an Oby thread so long as we complain about Western capitalist corruption every few post we are still on point. SO; when will bourgeois, libertarian Maria Caliban deign to answer or call? Typical Capitalist.

Give it this test, go down to the nearest rollercoaster and ride it and if midway through you don't get a smirk in your face either your loved ones have been kidnapped into a hellish dimension or you have a chemical imbalance. Or just try to change something in your daily routine that might be monotony that you're experiencing and not depression. Oh, wait...your Location is in Cyrillic; yep you're depressed but you're in Eastern Europe so I guess that's normal?

Maria is a Social Justice Warrior? I've always thought she was a bit contemptuous and had the superpower to be the first poster on a question thread, to which she promptly answers shattering the poster as a bug; her avatar fits her.

Ditto on the boss fights and to my disappointment the game just bludgeons from Tong's Rescue to the Missing Link, they even kept the recap. I'm still wondering if I get to keep the praxis points I've gained.

I see something similar expressed whenever someone suggests that a game is aiming for a 'Call of Duty' audience or enjoyed primarily by console kiddies. Or discussion about the Witcher series. Alternatively, if I said I watched the Hunger Game movies or read the books, I can't imagine another woman thinking it odd I'm reading something aimed at teenage girls. The specific series might not rate highly with her, but there's no constant measurement of maturity involved. Likewise, for plays (67% of the audience is women) there might be a discussion of which plays are really good and which are bad, but there's no discussion about which plays are immature. The constant need to evaluate a works adultfulness is something I mostly see in regards to video games, science fiction and fantasy novels, comics, and movies that are aimed at men. Competition is more explicit among men because of a biological imperative, women on the other hand reinforce group dynamics through more passive aggressive means. EG: shunning, gossip, accessorizing or just plain antagonizing.

But the Batman gave us Rastafarian Joker, you can't beat that or the Dracula episode; It's like the "Batman and Robin" of animation.

"Apathy is death" I think I left behind Michael Moore since I tend to find inflammatory rhetoric distasteful nowadays, he always assumes his position is the moral high ground and starts preaching from it. I think I would find him more appealing if he actually bothered to do documentaries presenting all angles from an issue, whenever a subject is clearly just or immoral there is no need for preaching as the story tells itself. But rather than actual reporting Michael Moore seems to just stand in front of places, screaming until he is asked to leave the premises and he is lead away with a smug look on his face as if that proved his point. If his point were that he is annoying then I guess he has reason to be smug.

The void was great but Pathologic really needed fast travel or at least better movement speed.

I did and that attitude thing didn't do anything, lucky for me that every **** cop seems to be paired with the nicest one on the precinct.

@Tagaziel: Thanks for that I needed a laugh.

She's their waifu.

And not dating a creepy old guy, AFIK Tell me more? The word is that she is dating Patrick Sheane Duncan who is credited as a producer on a lot of her projects and has reputedly put her in contact with people within the film industry.

For equity crowdfunding. Not all crowdfunding. It has nothing to do with the recent trend of video game Kickstarters. It's also only a proposal, they've got a lot of work left to do on it before it becomes a reality. At any rate I'm going to start learning chemistry for if it passes I'm going full on Ted Kaczynski.

By that logic, shouldn't we be integrating into the culture of several immigrant groups? Usually when cultures clash changes occur to both, otherwise why the hell we celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Because we really like Mayonnaise?

The good thing about that mask is that it will be useful when you're shaking down gasoline from honest settlers on a post apocalyptic wasteland.

I just got this weird image in my head of the CIA as kid bringing a dangerous animal home and asking: "Can I train it? Pretty please!"

And as soon as I find your address I'm putting an U somewhere on your name (just kidding...or am I? )

The average value of a 4-year degree is increased earnings income of $900,000, almost a million dollars, compared to a high school education. I think that's worth the investment. Admittedly educational costs are far outstripping inflation so it makes it tougher. Last time I checked ed costs were one of the fastest risers. The flip side is ed loans are low interest. (Correction: I double checked and they aren't as low as I remember. Fed student loans run 3.86 to 6+% now. My loan rates were considerably lower. So things are tougher) Usually you don't have to start repayment until after you graduate and you have a 6 month window to start, assuming that you do not interrupt your schooling. I think it still works that way. I know the squeeze though. I had fed and state loans to pay off and the state loans required repayment immediately on graduation. Which meant I was paying them off while I was in grad school. OUCH! So yeah I understand the pain. Yeah compound interest is a bitch. Sometimes the solution is to go without until you can really afford something. yeah that's harsh. I'll be blunt - I have absolutely no sympathy for someone complaining about how paying interest on something is stretching their budget. If you can't really afford it, don't buy it. After all, you did mention items over 7 grand and I hardly would classify things in that range as essentials. Okay, income disparity is fair game. I totally agree with two issues. (1) Increased worker productivity has not found it's way into regular incomes - that profit has increasingly been retained at the corporate level without proportionate increases in hiring or income. (2) The % share of wealth held by various income groups has become decidedly skewed towards the 1%. I have to admit that part of me says so effing what? Isn't that part of what is so great about the US? Being able up with a fantastic freaking idea and making a bloody fortune? Like Facebook? On the flip side, I do wonder why there is a cap on income for paying social security and medicare taxes. Oh I understand why it's there - I just don't think it should be. There are just two things that should be added to your analysis: Outsourcing has eliminated a lot of low level entry jobs as well as moved entire fields to other countries and now people are just working harder to be able to keep their jobs rather than make progress. Students take the worst of it since they are trying to enter industries which requires them to have experience which they are unable to gain as the jobs are simply not there. Markets have been consolidating for some time, with just a few emergent global markets remaining and an industry that's monopolized by mega-corporations. I doubt that a small business can break into a market that's dominated by a corporate entity, that would be a remarkable feat of the likes of David defeating Goliath. Mark Zuckerberg is likely to be one of the few people who can take an idea and create a market out of it because he created something new. I would say that in order to break into an established market you'd have to be either extremely wealthy, extremely smart or extremely lucky. With the level of education that we see in the US I guess that just leaves the wealthy.

I hate fake glasses.

They managed to do a decent Hack and Slash with Spartan Total Warrior and Viking. May surmise that your anger stems from the bugs in Total War: Rome 2?

Controversial haircut

After your previous diatribe towards me for failing to answer your question in a different thread, I find this response positively hilarious. I'll take your answer as a "no." Lets go on a journey with this. Is it safe to say that you are a contributor to the "failure of multiculturalism?" What do you want, for me to learn a foreign language while I live in the states? Which one? Ok, I want to learn Japanese. Happy? If you did you'd find the difficulties of learning another language, add to that the age and level of intelligence of some immigrants and not everyone can speak fluent English. Which is why many stay within their communities on which they share a common language with the rest. I would agree that mastery of the English language should be a requisite for some jobs, but then there are the people complaining about bilingual tests or when their cashier or [insert menial labor here] doesn't speak the language. It is not their desire as am sure that they would like to be fluent but have not knowledge required, so at the very least I would expect a little empathy. Even though it is something difficult for most Americans to imagine. (The immigrant experience part not the empathy...although they may have some trouble with the empathy part too)
