  1. A modern day Cynic, it's like seeing Diogenes reincarnated.
  2. What? The guy is in a desperate struggle with addiction. He has a gift of charm, and he's wasting it away. Apparently Dr. Phil has sent him to rehab a couple times. That's a super sad story, how long do you think he can actually maintain such an existence? I don't know that you waste the gift of charm by using it as much as possible; unless you believe that we should have him bed every world leader in an attempt to mediate talks for world peace. Because I don't see much use for sex appeal other than to get sex. Also, it probably won't be forever but it is one of those existences that have distilled the essence of a pursuit into a singular object. I find that those are the kind of people that make the world a richer place to live in, everyone else seems mundane.
  3. I admire this man. Never thought I would see someone who had genuinely reached the zenith of picking up women. He's like the Bodhisattva of pick up artists.
  4. Why? I'm growing to hate liberal pundits because they have become such caricatures of themselves. I can't really think of one that's not smug, arrogant, engages in double think and generally fails to live by the ideals they promote when it counts. It seems the liberal pundit tv formulas is to arrogantly declare oneself into the intellectual/moral high ground by shaming the opposition for their views. They won't even refute them with a statement of why they are wrong they just act like they're right and if you don't get it there is something wrong with you.
  5. I think his MO is just to be the opposite view of whatever his interviewee its. Anyone else get angry at TYT on that segment? I hadn't seen that one and my opinion of TYT has been lowering for a while but this took to a whole new low.
  6. It´s pretty pathetic and should be unacceptable. The sad thing is, enough people will look at this and go with the whole "poor jews" bull****, while overlooking that this is hatred stirred against muslims. It´s pure demonization, Nethanyahu will be proud. Please don't misunderstand, I'm not angry because of who they choose to demonize and who to victimize but rather I'm angry that in an country that is predominantly one race it is that same race that creates the lowest amount of outrage when offended or threatened. I'm just a bit fed up with public opinion and how little the news media actually represents it, where it not for the fact that the US is a place where socializing isn't a necessity and that politics very rarely enter discussion people would have realized by now how little the opinions of their immediate friends and family match what the medias says people think. Or maybe i'm wrong in thinking that it is manufactured.
  7. The only thing that i'm hating is how apparently you can manipulate mass media by catering to the ones that own it. I mean, why else go with Jews when the majority of people living in the US are white?
  8. I may not have medieval combat experience, but I have had experience casting magic missles, fireballs and horrid wilting. Totally legit. Was it Tacos night?
  9. That horse armor that was made by a guy that works 35 hours a week and wishes to make a living doing what he loves...but yeah let's say that it is evil for one person to make mods on their free time and try to make a living out of it. Also, if steam is taking 75% then **** those guys.
  10. Firstly, a realistic ruleset heavily favors ranged stealth builds not to mention the fact that mages would be way overpowered. Secondly, I find this discussion about realistic combat moot since I doubt of us has any actual medieval combat experience. Now if you excuse me, I"m going to buff my stats to prevent dysentery.
  11. On the one hand I do like the idea of being able to make a few bucks from work. On the other hand mods get away with a lot of stuff because it's free, although people nowadays sell games on their alpha stage so maybe modders can get away with selling incomplete, buggy products. But seriously, ban copyrighted content; the first page is full of things from other games and you shouldn't be able to sell things that technically aren't yours.
  12. I wonder why people think that it's the copied article fault that the forgery is bad?
  13. Fun fact. Even though i never associated myself with GG nor do i ever intend to, but when i for example disagree with Anita's supporters, they always immidiatly assume that i am a GGer. And everything else that comes with it. And that frustrates me a lot. Because the world is not black and white, because there's no "us" and "them". If you think you're better than "SJWs", well then actually be better. Otherwise you're just as evil and inhuman really. You seem to be new to this discussion so I thought I would share some insight with you about what this thread is really about You are absolutely correct that using the term SJW is unhelpful to to a discussion about bias, but this thread is not about bias.Its a place where the majority of members use it as platform to dismiss and question various SJ movements and suggestions . And to find contradictions in the SJ narrative But its not a bad place, the people here aren't bigots. They aren't sexist or homophobic and in fact often champion these causes, this is about the rejection of SJ ideas in the gaming industry. Its about GG. I am a SJW and there is no point really even suggesting that people not use that word because its not really meant maliciously ...its more about a reference to the likes of Anita and there influence in gaming ...most people on this thread believe that the SJ movement is fundamentally changing and attacking something that doesn't need to be changed or they believe criticism is often misplaced or contradictory . But its just about gaming..so don't expect people to really take other SJ causes that seriously I think the term SJW is a good identifier for people who see social justice as a zero sum game.

Since you're new to the party I will bring you up to speed; logical well articulated rational statements have no place in this discussion. Think of this whole thing as a bunch of rabid dogs one half blaming the other for their affliction. Although, it is quite revealing to know just how many people have been affected, some I would have never suspected.
  15. It seems to me that it damages an industry of creators in the same way something called "Cheese Spread" with an almost unnoticeable under note saying "contains no actual cheese" affects dairy farmers. If you don't understand why... There's not much I can say to make you understand. They are charging for easier "flavor" content that you can do for free anyways. How is this as extreme as you are suggesting? I should note, I DON'T AGREE with them doing it, but at the end of the day it doesn't actually give someone any sort of tactical advantage, is optional, and does not impair your ability to play the game. Basically, the game is the same as it was before you knew this was a thing, so why make a fuss about it? I guess that the purist mindset likes an even field for a fair game that its based purely on skill, finishing moves are part of of the overall skills required so they might dislike the double standard. Now someone should release a special set of fatalities solely for shaming people that bought the easy fatalities, make money from both sides of the argument.
  16. You don't condone piracy but - yeah, I can't even follow this logic. He is getting his product ahead of schedule.
  17. Right now, the only person who's declared they're running who has a chance of making it into the general election is Clinton. And that's because nobody within the party seems to want to try to take her on for the parties vote. And on the Republican side, Cruz is a Joke, Paul is to radically stupid in his ideals to get much traction (Seriously, the economy wouldn't survive on the gold standard kipper), and Rubio is just a footnote. Although in general somebody like Rubio would probably take the nomination (how many of you knew who the hell Obama was before 2008?) But he'd be completely out classed by the machine that Democrat's have built for presidential elections. Right, and the best the democrats have is an incompetent woman that has gotten by on connections and has royally ****ed up every incident she's been involved in. But let's support Hillary cuz Republicans are evil.
  18. I think most people equate subjectivity with "whatever the **** I want", I think what most people really want is good service. They don't want to be chastised, hyped, or sold on a game they want an honest opinion of it and they can agree or disagree with it. The problem is that what they're getting from games journalism is a dissertation on women's studies.
  19. Does daydreaming count as sleep?
  20. Oh I open all books and click all chat options, I just don't ... read them with super concentration, since I just forget it all after the next combat or two. There was a couple of lore tomes that had stories I liked enough to focus on them enough to remember I liked them, but not enough to quote them or their titles even. You're an oddity. I really wondered why so much time would be wasting developing such in game lore that had no relevance to the main plot. I guess it's for people like you.
  21. Other than PuppyGate there isn' anything else going on, but if these trends are an indication we might be seeing more Gates in the future.
  22. Do you get a such a thing in the USA as an Asian Hispanic ? I think they should just let you choose all that apply since Brazilians are Latinos but they aren't technically Hispanic. (I sound like a SJW)
  23. He's hispanic not white. Hispanic is not a race. Hispanic refers to a racial grouping that covers many different counties. Seems a little nitpicky to get on about it. Saying hispanics are not white is like saying that slavics are not white. If you're going to be that specific about it then you shouldn't use white but anglo saxon or germanic or aryan or whatever denomination they consider to be "white". I'm not going to profess to know how it works in Europe with all the different ethnic groups, but that isn't how it works in the US. Being Hispanic or Latino makes you part of a minority group, and you are not identified as part of the white majority. It is a general term that covers a bunch of Latin American countries. If you want be specific (and really, you are the one who got up in arms about it) then you would say Mexican American (or wherever his family is from.) In the US it is necessary to have Hispanic as a group because both census and issues that only affect them, I'm not arguing against use of Hispanic as a term just the notion that its a race of brown people. I also find the whole "Noun-American" thing to be ridiculous, mostly because people actually identify with it. I don't see the value of equating race with politics, as if you're white it means that you're more likely to be republican than if you're black.

  25. Combat in Blackguards took a significant turn for the worse once the purple hordes of doom showed up. Yeah, TRPGS where the enemy outnumbers you, outclass you and you only get one turn are a bit too frustrating to me. Plus I hate having to wait for 8 guys to finish their turn before I get a chance to try and hang on for dear life.
