I am waiting for real time Romance AI in the game ....I'm still waiting

Yeah I also remember Fox running this appalling story that DA:O "was an obscene game because it had dirty and hidden gay sex in it "

Yeah I hear that from several people I know where smoking weed makes them feel either paranoid, stupid or depressed. So they just wont do it But I think this is to do with the quality of weed a persons smokes, cheap weed can make you feel like that. I only suffer from feeling stupid at times when I'm stoned...but that's part of the fun. My natural personality is where I tend to think about many things all at once and sometimes this can be a little disruptive. So focusing and thinking about one thing, like a TV series or funny movie, is a nice break for me

Its still funny

I think you guys will appreciate this, my step-mom sent this to me. Its a old discusison from the 1940's about the definition of political correctness The term "political correctness" was not in my vocabulary. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to do a little research and after two weeks of chasing fruitless leads, I found what I'd been looking for at the Truman Library & Museum in Independence, Missouri. An unnamed source there sent me copies of four telegrams that were exchanged between Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the Japanese Surrender Agreement. The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received, not a word has been added or deleted. (1) Tokyo,Japan 0800-September 1,1945 To: President Harry S Truman From: General D A MacArthur Tomorrow we meet with those yellow bellied bastards and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions? (2) Washington, D C 1300-September 1, 1945 To: D A MacArthur From: H S Truman Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender with the press,because some of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct! (3) Tokyo, Japan 1630-September 1, 1945 To: H S Truman From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does the term politically correct mean? (4) Washington, D C 2120-September 1, 1945 To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz From: H S Truman Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of **** by the clean end!

It sounds like the type of midnight food raiding I do when I have the munchies

I hope its Triss A bit sad really. That we can think of no better endorsement than that Pologon thinks it's sexist. It might even be sexist, but we're all going to buy it because Polygon are tossers.

Good old CDPR, despite other development studios being more conservative we know we can rely on them for a bit of visibility for the female form

You inferred that we were not honest in our goals of ethical reforms and merely opposing those whom lie and say they support social justice like you, it is written above in plain English, and the inference is clear. Nope another epic fail Nonek but this time on interpretation I simply asked a question within a question. Nothing deceitful about that. Maybe someone can comment and say if they think my post was deceitful?

Just to be clear what exactly did I try to deceive you on?

Probably because it became a 'thing' to do in the game, my friends who don't even play GTA always mention that when I speak of playing it. Also because you can - people are going to kill something if they are able to in games, after all I don't kill people randomly. I kill people who really annoy me but generally I stay away from killing civilians as it draws the police

Ah so no answer again, even when I honestly and explicitly answered your question, I expected as much. As for questions of etiquette, you infer that we are lying in our honest and reaonable goals of asking for ethical reform, and that we are instead only acting against social justice. Hardly a polite or normal thing to do, and it was you whom raised the issue of your use of sex workers. I will answer your two statements with three of my own: I have no interest in your need to visit strip clubs to interact with women, that is your own decision and none of my business. Your use of prostitutes is also your own business, and the authorities if they discover it of course, as well the women you are having to force yourself upon. However while abusing sex workers like this I will not accept that you are interested in SJ issues, as that is a hypocritical lie. As for understanding my points i'm afraid that if you cannot understand the intentionally plain English that I use then there is no hope that I can get through to you, perhaps some further education as i've suggested before is in order or a doctors appointment. You are very defensive so you and others, like Volo, tend to read a negative undertone into simple questions. I didn't ever say you were lying. I can only assume you are so defensive because of the perceived criticism you feel you are under for supporting GG so a simple question you feel is an interrogation I have to take some blame for that because of the level of some of our past debates And there is no need for me to answer the question because its so absurd..how can you ask me " why do I hate women " ? No when you make a clear inference of deception I call you out on it, that is not being defensive but truthful. I proudly and honestly admit to being a part of Gamergate, a consumer revolt is a fine and ethical thing, which there should be more of. No I expected no answer, that might require some self examination and hard answers which a hypocrite and a liar isn't capable of. No once again you are basing your argument on a false premise, I was asking a question not being deceptive. Epic fail on that part Nonek Yes I did acknowledge the boycotting of websites is a consumer revolt And then once again you can't resist the personal insults...another fine example of mature debating etiquette

I actually ate at a "Rally's" fast food chain today. I rarely eat fast food (usually it's veggies and I'm just so dang bored of veggies) so I went a little nuts. I got a double BBQ bacon cheese burger (sounds healthy:)) which has two burger patties, lettuce, BBQ sauce, 2 fried onion rings, and plenty of bacon. It was pretty tasty. I also got a small chili and a small box of chicken bites (basically chicken nuggets) to go with it. Rally's is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I like it, but I kinda feel bad after I eat it; I think, "Dang. That's so unhealthy! Next time I should just go to subway." Veggies vs Hamburger .....not much of a choice there young grasshopper, hamburger wins easily

How oftem do you eat McDonalds. You and I have very similar hamburger tastes..whenever you describe the burgers you have at proper restaurants they always sound delicious....plus we both like drinking so that wouldn't be a problem

I'm not with you ? Are you saying a stripper or hooker can get killed in RL? I'm saying that people are complaining about how "easy" it is to use a hookers services, and then kill her and get your money back in game... when you can do the exact same thing in Real Life with similar effects. You know what would be interest but outside the scope of GTA? Making it so even if people don't catch you killing the hooker, the police could figure out you're responsible through evidence if you're sloppy and don't hide the body and whatnot. Then you would have at least 1 star forever. That would be neat. Too bad that's too much to ask for. Thats a good idea, I don't get why people would kill the hooker after services rendered. Its not worth the money ?

I had Mcdonalds about two weeks ago, I had the double pound burger with 2 EXTRA slices of cheese It was very tasty as I was very stoned

I sometimes, rarely, eat Mcdonalds but why do you eat it ? You are surrounded by good food in Denver and you are a foodie? Do you really like the Mcdonalds ?

You wont agree with my view because you can't agree to it because to agree with me would undermine support for the GG movement but I'll make it anyway You say that gaming websites like Eurogamer and RPS need to maintain journalistic integrity. Yes I agree with this because its the principle that matters and they represent a serious revenue generating industry...even if it is gaming. But the reality is I doubt any of you guys use to use those websites, I visit them but maybe once every second day. Now the fact that you guys never use to use them is also not a issue because an argument could still be maintained that its the principle But you also cannot ignore that fact that certain websites on your consumer boycott list also happen to be websites that raise SJ issues and have been very vocal against GG So I guess what I am trying to understand is what is the real reason you boycott these websites? Is it because they lack integrity or is it because they push SJ issues which tend to annoy you ? Its fine to say you don't visit certain websites because of there view on SJ issues, I dont go to RPGCodex for exactly that reason but lets be honest? I am being honest when I say that the sites I boycott are unfit for purpose and not worth reading, they have proven themselves to be untrustworthy and unethical, with repeated attacks against innocent cosumers, totally unproven accussations against Gamergate, and endemic corruption, thus as a reasonable, moderate consumer I avoid them. Their tendency to preach on social justice matters is hypocritical and a lie, just like yourself Bruce, saying that you support social justice and then boasting of using sex workers, propogating a harmful criminal enterprise and saying that there is nothing shameful in doing son at the expense of the women you have to pay. You and they are free to say that you support social justice issues, but when this is a hypocritical lie and you use sex workers, while they abuse and lie about innocent consumers wanting ethical reform, then I will not accept their falsehoods or accept their preaching at me when they are immoral scum. If you don't believe this that's fine, because I don't look for approval from an individual whom openly and proudly uses prostitutes, but I would in return ask that you be honest with yourself and why you hate women and see it as alright to force yourself upon them for cash? Is that why you try and interject SJ issues in this thread all the time, and interrupt the usual talk of ethical concerns and good journalistic practices, is it guilt for your actions against the women you have to pay for sex? Nonek you really seem fixated with my relationships with hookers and strippers. Its actually getting weird, you felt the need to mention it 3 times in this thread just to make a point about the reason you do or don't visit certain websites..its like you are obsessed . And the worst thing about it is that no one will tell you what bad ettiquette it is so you will keep on thinking this is a normal response So I will say this one more time and then I won't mention it again You don't understand the context or reasons I visit strip clubs ( I went last night actually ) Can you stop feeling the need to constantly bring it up and using that as an example I am a hypocrite even when its not relevant..it is making you look very insecure about the points you make. I really am trying to understand your view without all the theatrics but you are making it difficult

Bryy when the hot groupies start wanting to hang with you send them my way

I'm not with you ? Are you saying a stripper or hooker can get killed in RL?

Well I only supported it on KS because Hurlshot said so No the real reason was the nostalgic factor, Quest for Glory was my first " RPG " I ever played But I am tired of paying extra for badly planned KS just because people are known in the industry It is possible to do a proper budget and stick to it if you are diligent and committed so these KS companies must start scoping the project costs better

I think we need a separation between editorials and reviews(subjective) and news(objective), with different standards for both. Obviously disclosure should occur, and there should be some standards implemented to maintain professional distance. It seems strange to me that game journalist cannot implement this, it is so simple to have an acknowldegement before the piece speaking of ones contact with a publisher and developer, along with any ties. It is not an onerous or complicated thing. Then make the review in two sections, one an objective critcism focusing on features, tech and issues etc, and one a subjective review. A simple process, and yet the game journalists refuse to disclose or acknowledge the plethora of objective points that any game has. It's pathetic really, and emphasise how reasonable these demands are, and how unreasonable and arrogant the game journalists are being. Then again they've had many years of railing and preaching at their audience to become accustomed to it, must be hard to let go of their self righteous posturing. Edit: More than ever I believe that a regulaory board is needed for game journalism, as well as a period of sharp adjustments and heavy fines for those whom flagrantly flout journalistic ethics such as Kotaku. Sorry to seem to be disagreeing with you again but this is another point I fail to take seriously as I think you guys have convinced yourselves its real and relevant There is this view that gaming journalists should be judged the same as real journalists...they are discussing a game, they aren't updating us on the Ukraine conflict. Why do you guys care about the integrity of reviews on RPS for example? Is this a website you use to get informed views from?

Did you fund this second one ? I am not sure I will...I feel very little interest to help them for some reason

No I think the W3 is really that good
