    Sorry officer, I'll try to stay on my appointed side of the wall.

    Con-Man added a Blu-Ray tier, so I dropped some money on their indiegogo campaign for that.

    Playing through the Orlesian Ball in DA:I and hoping I can wrap it up within the next week. I'm going to try and stay away from the big areas and just go for the main quests.

    Watched Community on Yahoo Screen, it was decent. It seemed a bit off from the previous seasons, but I think it might just be an adjustment period. It still had some fantastic moments. Also watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix. I am only two episodes in, but it seems like a decent comedy in the 30 Rock vibe.

    The Butter Battle Book should be required reading for anyone engaged in this type of low stakes crusading.

    I am old enough to recognize the same pattern as i've seen before. I do not believe the artist is genuine for one second in this. He drew originally what he wanted, got flak from "the right crowd" and decided to remove it with a half-assed reason. When the "wrong crowd" tries to argue about it, they are simply shut out as the screenshots above shows. Self-censorship is fear, and fear is the mind killer. I take it you aren't familiar with Dr. Suess. Yooks are not Zooks!

    That's really disingenuous. It's hard to take GGers seriously when they try to make mountains out of molehills like this.
  9. Hurlshort
    You should probably include all the tweets where the artist makes it clear he was not censored and simply decided inappropriate and did not fit with the comic itself.

    Thanks for my next lesson plan.

    Again, Pakistan is a way bigger risk than Iran when it comes to the wrong people getting hands on it.
  12. Hurlshort
    Even if Iran never uses the nukes it could develop; Iran simply having them would pose a huge problem. I'd wager both Pakistan and North Korea are bigger risks, albeit for differing reasons.

    If we are going by track record, there is only one country that has actually gone through with nuclear attacks.

    I'd argue more that posting it on social media (this forum does count) is a dumb choice.

    I just don't like to get to the place where I need to drink it every day, which is a concern with soda. So even though I enjoy it, I try to limit the amount I drink. Of course I am hooked on orange juice, can't start my day right without it. I'm the same way with my booze, I'll wait a week to drink a good beer because I want to be able to really enjoy it without any interruptions or regrets.

    The ghosts in the machine.

    Your name reminds me of Shadows of Yserbius. That's all I've got. Welcome aboard.

    I'd agree with you there. Anti-semitism quite clearly exists in the US, it just tends to take a backseat to many of the other popular forms of intolerance and hatred at this time.

    I agree with you, but this is a pretty experienced team, so this is one of the Kickstarter's that looks reliable. Plus they already have some gameplay going on, so this isn't starting from scratch.

    If taks really comes back, we can get a decent beer thread going again.
  21. Hurlshort
    Whoa, where the heck have you been? Good to see you.

    In all fairness, I'd also argue that there isn't any meaningful anti-black sentiment in my country because we have a very low (<1%, if I had to guess) percentage of black population. Would this reasoning be faulty? No. But your country probably didn't gas millions of black people to drive that percentage down.

    Longknife's argument against anti-semitism existing in Germany seems to boil down to the fact that there aren't that many Jewish people in Germany.

    I think that's part of what made playing through more than once seem like such a chore. The completionist side simply couldn't leave any herb un-picked, or any lost ring un-returned. If I'd just stuck with the main story (plus the more relevant sidequests), I might not have felt so bogged down. Yeah so far it's moving at a much better pace since I have a good idea how everything works, what order is best for doing things, and which tasks are better off skipping. I don't need to run around my castle collecting books, thank you very much.

    I was planning on picking it up eventually, so I'll take it if it is a Steam key. I think it needs to be Steam in order to work with my Beyond Earth copy.
