What are you playing right now?
Can't really argue with that, haven't played it myself. Heard a lot of nagging about it though.

Haven't played it but it's not that well liked. It's a shooter with tanking, bullets whittle away at the enemy's health bar instead of killing them. What you can expect from a cover based console shooter with PVP elements I guess.

Learning curve is pretty steep, still trying to figure out if I'm supposed to switch stances during combat. I mean it would make sense to shoot your force lightning and then empty your gun, all I seem to wind up doing is pressing dodge and spamming fast attack like Witcher 3.

Never even realised it was a sequel to Mars Wars. Alright, they got my money.

Pokémon GO
Spotted my first hunting party in the wild, group of teenagers breaking into a run staring into their phones. App idea came to me : Capture pokemon go players trying to capture a pokemon. If you do it before they capture the pokemon you get a bonus.

The suggestion is that whatever extra would be missing from other charities because money spent on charity is usually pretty fixed. 'unnecessarily cynical' is a pretty accurate description of my attitude to most things btw.

Pokémon GO
Kind of missing the point there. The more people you get using the app, the more corporate sponsors the app creator is going to be able to attract. Look up how freerice.com works if you are still skeptical about this stuff. I'd imagine it is using the same model and people have dissected that one pretty fully. I'm suggesting that it's still a zero sum game nomatter who gets the money.

Well those corporate sponsors are going to give what they are going to give and I'm pretty confident that that number doesn't vary very much on the budget. It's not like you can save the world by having everyone's walking sponsored. The well is going to run dry.

Any relation to Yodorowsky

How is this different than giving money to your chosen charity, without another middleman before the money gets where it is supposed to be.

How does walking generate money exactly, or growing a beard raise awareness for cancer.

Can't upgrade my Android to the version it needs unless I load a ROM because Samsung. Not entirely confident about doing that. Anyway I would feel awkward because well, if I'm honest I hated pokemon back when it was a thing. Not a lot of nostalgia factor for me. I think I'll catch a lets play, just so I can feel part of the phenomenon. It feels indistinguishable from going through the bother of actually playing to me these days, and you can say you did, who's gonna know.

Baton Rouge Police Shooting
You do kinda wonder at the logic. Do they think this will mean less black youths getting killed by police or more.

It's not out for the Iphone.

Baton Rouge Police Shooting
I dunno. I'm not sure I believe there is systemic racism to the degree postulated by BLM. I detect a certain level of hysterics and hyperbole. The shooting of unarmed black men does seem to happen with alarming regularity though. Maybe it's just that there is a cameraphone recording it every time now. And they are of course entirely within their rights to protest and you can't put the actions of, for lack of a better term, insane people on them.

Coup or attempted coup in Turkey
Burning of the Reichstag, who knows.

Coup or attempted coup in Turkey
Detaining the president doesn't necessarily work. Remember Chavez. Maybe it's smarter to marginalize him. Besides if you detain the president you are if not admiting to then at least signaling an unlawful coup. In Thailand they just declare martial law and that parliament has been disolved pending elections.
-
Coup or attempted coup in Turkey
A coup usually comes down to psychology. After the shock does the country believe that this is the new normal ? Erdogan doesn't have a lot of friends to call on, just cronies. Still, I am reminded of Venezuela, and of course they do this kind of thing every other year in Thailand and no one ever bats an eye. Calling for people to protest, that doesn't inspire confidence at all. It must mean he is weak.

PLEASE OH PLEASE Start a Kickstarter To Take FALLOUT back!
When you try to please everybody you very rarely come up with anything interesting, but it is a success and that unfortunately means no more Fallout RPG in the sense we understand the word. Fallout is basically that band you used to love until they sold out and went all commercial. They had meant and hoped to have wider appeal all along but you don't like them anymore because they aren't true to their roots. I'm off the Fallout train personally, but I'm sure Bethesda is laughing all the way to the bank.

Build Thread 2.0
Last IDE started making the death rattle noise a few months ago. Didn't have anywhere to stick all the movies that were on it so I just yanked the cables. I keep telling myself I'm going to clean up my remaining HDDs, it's not like there's anything important on there, just the time it takes to decide what to delete and what to keep.

Dallas Sniper Shootings
It's pretty easy to find data that supports your preconcieved notions if you look hard enough and ignore whatever you don't like. If you go cherry picking and you aren't completely candid about it in your argument that was actually grounds for having a paper refused, at least back when I was at Uni. Details matter, don't get your statistics from facebook.

It's Texas, they love a good execution. I don't support the death penalty, I've made that abundantlly clear, but honesly if not this guy then what's it even for.

Not the same as strapping a grenade to a bomb disposal robot.
