The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
I guess it is a bit on topic, since my wife can pretty much whoop my butt when it comes to the majority of yoga poses. The only ones I have an advantage on are the upper body strength poses, which are few and far between. I rotate through a few different youtube instructors to mix up routines, and the majority of them are women, and they all kick my butt.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
I attended a free karate lesson once when I was about 9 years old, and I do some yoga. I also used to be able to shoot my kids nerf bow and arrow really far, but the dog ate all the arrows so I am out of practice.

Wonder if they'll eventually form a guild or some other worker's association. Well I know EA had to undergo some pretty massive changes to overhaul their image after getting lambasted for similar stuff. You would think that attracting good talent would become more difficult, and the industry would correct itself. Of course, Rockstar doesn't seem too concerned about the flak they've received, so who knows? Lionhead would seem to be a prime example of how to kill a studio.

What are you playing right now?
I typically am not, but Blizzard has a well deserved reputation for delivering a fun experience that is easy to take in casually.

What are you playing right now?
What level are you guys at on Overwatch? I'm only level 6, and I find the level of competition pretty easy. I imagine it will get crazy the higher I go. In fact I'm pretty nervous about it, I am a sore loser.

Ok, that's some good reflection. Now what about the Amazons?

Risen 1 was one of my favorite game ever, so I certainly hope they can pull it off. Kind of seems like they couldn't make up their mind what genre to make a game in though.

That does sound odd, bit I will give it a try the next time I have soda around. Artificial sweeteners make everything taste vile.

Well then stay away from movies, those hollywood types have all sorts of stupid ideologies bouncing around in their heads.

Well, female fighting characters (either ones you fight as, with, or against) are certainly treated the same as male fighting characters in D&D - at least, I think so. Fighting characters are not the only type of characters in D&D, though, and on a wider overview, I don't think you could really consider that principle to stand up to any great degree... Yup. You're character is created, not randomly sampled, so she doesn't need to represent a typical member of society. You can play a Nikki Fuller-type character if you want. Revan is stating that in the typical fantasy universe, females are weaker than males. I don't see any evidence of that in D&D, at least that I've seen.

WarCraft movie is getting slaughtered by critics
I'm curious if Disney does the same. I'd imagine they do.

I hate that feminist and SJW have made me think that any exposure to black and female characters is far leftist propaganda. Even should it be a heartfelt and honest action....that said she is both female and black and later we will probably learn that she's also disable or some such. Someone should really come up with a SJW checklist for character traits. I am sorry that you are so impressionable. You could just play games for fun and not worry about SJW or anti-SJW BS.

Again, do we know for sure that is the case in Tyranny's world? Is there even one game, movie or book where it is not such a case? Can you name some examples? Nothing about it in Middle Earth, D&D or even Hyboria. As I already said, the whole Amazonian myth dates back to Greek Mythology.

US Election 2016, part II
You skipped the draft and the racial stuff. I'm the first to admit we need some economic overhaul moving forward. I'm part of the shrinking middle class. I can't buy a home. These things suck. Yet we still aren't close to the Great Depression. We aren't fighting World Wars, we aren't moments away from a Nuclear Holocaust, in fact we are much safer in a dozen different ways. Cheer the heck up, you are going to be fine.

Yeah, and you don't have to worry about being drafted, you get to go to college regardless of your parents education, and you get to live tweet the entire thing to the world. Aren't you even in a biracial relationship? How easy do you think that was 50 years ago? edit: You can legally smoke pot in a growing amount of states! Alcohol was illegal less than a century ago.

Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
Idris Elba sounded like a great pick. Tom Hardy would have been interesting. Best thing I can say about this pick is he seems like a bit of a blank slate, so with good directing it might turn into something. Although I'm also worried it will be a cheap imitation of the kid who was the lead in The Kingsman.

Armies filled with woman have been a theme in fantasy going all the way back to Ancient Greece. This isn't a new concept. Your concerns with credibility and realism are woefully misplaced, and seem entirely based on subjective criteria.

Oh, the first one was just to highlight that he had nothing to say. The second one however was divisive because he resorted to play oppression olympics as retort for reverse discrimination. Ah, ok. I would actually agree with your second assessment, the president does not need to get involved in tit for tat arguments. The goal should be to help everyone, regardless of race. - US Election 2016, part II
