  1. Address points not people. If you don't like another poster, there is an ignore function. We gently suggest that you use it. This thread has been cleaned up in the hopes that it can be placed back on-topic.
  2. I'm locking this thread. It seems to be the start of a thought that didn't get finished. Perhaps the OP can start a new and better make their argument in a new thread.
  3. Its directed by Panos Cosmatos who did BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW so you get crazy nic cage vs crazy people with probably some crazy visuals to boot.
  4. I dunno, I'd recommend the documentary for the real story, but that doesn't preclude the movie being fun in its own way. EDIT: Mandy trailer:
  5. Loose ground to raise a cross on, don't you think ? I was making a joke?
  6. Given the discussion, are we now classifying Gfted1 as a weird, random or interesting thing that fits nowhere else?
  7. While I think the support email is still working, you might also try the web submission form found on their revamped support page - https://support.obsidian.net/article/12-looking-for-help-on-our-older-games I'm not sure how much it'll help, but you'll also want to provide as much information you can about the issue and your accounts (here's some from the help guide): General (For all issues) What platform are you on? Stream/Android/iPad, etc. What version of the OS are you running? Android 4.4, iOS 9.3, etc. What model is the device? Galaxy Tab 3, iPad Mini 4, etc. What is your PFID#? (Located in the settings menu) Login Issues When you launch the game, does the welcome popup appear for Game Center/ Google Play Games? On the main screen, what is the text displayed in the blue box at the top? (Logged into GooglePlayGames, Logged into Game Center, or Link Social Gaming Network)
  8. There's a console command thread in one of the other forums if you haven't checked it - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97317-the-console-command-thread/?hl=%2Bconsole+%2Bcommand
  9. Reports are out that sci-fi author Harlan Ellison has passed away at 84. And Variety article: https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/harlan-ellison-dead-dies-star-trek-1202861048/
  10. My argument was against KT believing that no one having a choice was "better" than women having a choice and men not having a choice BECAUSE men didn't have a choice in the latter scenario. If he'd argued that men should be able to opt out of a parental role for an unwanted child prior to the birth of the child/prior to the termination period ending and in that scenario he'd be okay with abortion then it would have been a consistent argument. Or to look at it another way, in his preferred scenario where no one can choose to terminate a pregnancy, the man will have to be vigilant lest they produce offspring they don't wish to or financially can't support. Which, it seems, is also the case as well in his lesser preference choice. In fact from the man's POV there's no real difference in the scenarios.
  11. Or, you know, as a man you could accept that if you perform an act of procreation with a woman that you've already assumed the responsibility for any children that act might produce, rather than assume that as a dude you should get to Free Willy (said the actress to the bishop) whenever you want with no consequences. ts a novel idea, I know, but it might be a better one than advocating for the removal of something because "men have no choice" for an alternative where men also will have no choice as if that's somehow "better". YMMV.
  12. Just so long as you know that this was all in the comics and not some kind of SJW agenda that they're trying to force via streaming a new show for current politics and what not. The characters have literally always been this since they first appeared in the early 80's. I recall they were never exactly popular though so, I'm very surprised that they're just now making a fuss of them. Then again, since X-Men was ruined, they gotta fill the void anyway they can. This is BS and you know it. In the comics Tyrone didn't lose a brother and he wasn't rich kid and Tandy wasn't a street kid. The show is basically a complete rewrite of C&D origin story. IIRC Tyrone was from a poor family and Tandy was from a rich family. Both were runaways (but not Marvel's Runaways, that's a completely different series). Tyrone ran away after his best friend Billy was shot by cops. Tandy ran away because she was (arguably) a victim of parental neglect. Tyrone initially was going to rob Tandy out of desperation but stopped someone else from robbing her instead. Tandy and Tyrone were offered shelter and Tandy accepted; Tyrone went along thinking that Tandy was getting herself into trouble. Tyrone was right and both were given an experimental drug that ended up giving them superpowers. Seems like the writers decided to flip flop elements (Tyrone being rich, Tandy not; Billy being a brother rather than a friend) - maybe they felt the original origin was too stereotypical?
  13. It wasn't as good as Westworld but I still enjoyed the awesome 70's vibe. IMO Futureworld has a number of problems with it. Yul Brynner really shouldn't have been in it (his dream sequence serves no point) and the story itself is kind of half-baked. Its okay if you like 70s sci-fi, it has a lot of that look and vibe; its more LOGAN'S RUN feel than WESTWORLD though. I've watched it a few times and its enjoyable in its way, but its not really a patch on Westworld. I'd also recommend skiping the TV Show BEYOND WESTWORLD unless you're a fan of James McMullan or Connie Sellica. Or unless you want to see a show where the meglomaniacal villain goes from working with dozens of robots out of his TV-Budget James Bond Lair in the beginning to working with a single hinch-robot out of a Winnebego by the end.
  14. 1st Thread - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/91743-portraits/ 2nd Thread - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/96828-portraits-ii/ 3rd Thread - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/99990-portraits-iii/ If your request was not handled in the other thread, feel free to repost it. Please remember to keep commentary about topics and not other people.
  15. I watched the LAST JEDI again and I still don't see what all the hate is about. Then again I didn't get the hate for Phantom Menace either, I think structurally TLJ is better than TPM. And that's not saying that I don't think TJL has problems, but the fan backlash against it is, IMO, far greater than the amount of problems it has. If anyone wants to check my Star Wars street cred, I watched the original movie in a drive-in theater on the original release.
  16. Alternatively we all could choose to quit derailing the topic by creating posts where we try to figure out why someone has personal taste if we all wished. Its a crazy idea, but it just might work.
  17. I honestly would feel terrible about that, as much as the government pained me I would loathe to see a single building that stood the test of time and has so much history be torn down for another ****ing McDonalds. It's not going to be a single building, it's gonna be every building. Cuba will end up a giant shopping mall with every bit of history wiped away to make way for fast food and retail stores. Could end up like it is in the UK where the McDonalds is in a 300+ year old building that was once a pub.
  18. I could never take the Legion seriously after Nipton and Vulpes Inculta telling you what they did to the town. If you say their crimes are unforgivable, then Vulpes says "As are all crimes. If you feel strongly about it, attack us, and soon you won't feel a thing." And then you attack him and kill him and all the Legion that becomes hostile, and then Ceasars legion is all huffy about it, but the dude TOLD me to attack him, I can't help it if he and his losers were too weak to stand up to me (and isn't your philosophy halfway to 'might makes right' anyhow, so why doesn't MY might make me right)?
  19. Sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but I didn't see it...:
  20. Nope. Never been a big demo player.
  21. In the example where she's sitting in the seat, she's not actually a participant in the crime, she happens to be in a location with the criminals. She might as well be a hitchhiker for all it matters In the example where she's crossing the border or holding a gun in her hand, despite the fact that she's being told to do that by parental authority figures, she's still an active participant in the crime even though due to her age she probably doesn't have a formed adult judgement to understand what she's doing (if young enough). Or something.
  22. I'm not sure your analogy works; if the "crime" is entering the US illegally, then Sally committed the "crime" with her parents. You could then argue lack of choice, etc. but I just think the analogy breaks apart since in your example Sally holds no part of the criminal act (I guess you could say the parents put a gun in Sally's hands and told her to point it at the butler and squeeze the trigger if he moved to make her a part of the crime in a similar way, but what a rabbit hole...) I suspect most people who are upset think that what is supposed to happen is whatever was happening before Trump's new whatever is happening started happening.
