  1. Oh I understand why Nintendo is doing it, I don't know why the author who used the term "morally correct" about the decision seems to have no issue with the clothes provided its contained to the Japanese market. Its a weird article.
  2. If the removal of the clothing choices were morally correct for the western audience, why isn't it morally correct for the Japanese audience? Don't get me wrong, its Nintendo's game to censor or not and I have no issue with self-censorship, but the logical disconnect there is confounding.
  3. And into the 1940s in - at least - the case of Coal Mining.
  4. More grotesque than funny.
  5. What context makes it okay to want someone dead whose biggest crime is that people "revile" him on the internet? I mean common, its the internet. Pretty much anyone of note announces they're going to die there's some **** waiting to post anonymously about how glad they are they're dying. But in this case you seem to be saying you're perfectly okay with people wishing death and experiencing glee over same just because they annoyed some electrons in a way that annoyed you. Seems a bit...out of proportion, maybe? Yeah it may seem strange my indifference but it has a valid reason This is not about TB, this is about the level of debate between people like that and other ideologues on GG. You are trying to rationalize a normal response from me but how can I when nothing people like that say matters as its not based on normal thinking So I'm not going to pretend to show shock for something thats not real...its like they tainted and irrational...I'm not going to give them any recognition Saying "I'm glad he's dying" isn't indifference, which you claim capability of. What does the level of debate - or even whether they're ideologues or not - when a person says they're dying, unless you're arguing that you don't think he's dying and he's doing this as some sort of bid for sympathy which still warrants the question of why anyone saying "I'm glad he's dying" is considered good form?

  7. Well aliens are one cool explanation. But it seems most scientists are taking a "well it can't be ruled out at this time".
  8. And will Jason always be about 12 feet behind them no matter how fast they're running once they do fall down? I can see the Jason HUD now, a pop-up that says "Player 5 has fallen down and twisted their ankle - teleport to 12 feet behind them: Y/N"
  9. The obvious solution is to change "Columbus Day" to "Columbo Day". People still get a day off and you got to admit, Peter Falk did kind of own that role. We in the USA can then capitalize on it (in more than one meaning of that word) by encouraging people to send "Oh and one more thing..." cards to one another on that day and selling candy cigars. It'd also make anyone who owned a Peugeot 403 into instant Parade material.
  10. Looking at the blurry image, I'm pretty sure $3,500 says "Single Player Challenge Survival Mode". Hard to tell on the earlier ones (they seem more blurred, and I think some have clever names rather than saying exactly what they are).
  11. I can't help but worrying as well - even if I was wanting to play multiplayer - that you'd only ever find MPers who wanted to play Jason, and rarely any who'd want to play the victims camp councilors.
  12. It seems interesting, yeah, but multiplayer not for me. Maybe if they have single player as a stretch goal.
  13. I see MK II and I'm thinking someone is talking about Mortal Kombat II. I see Mk II, I'm thinking Mark II.
  14. Yeah I saw they listed VP as an inspiration after I read further. Might be enough to convince me to pledge to an indiegogo campaign.
  15. It looks a lot like VALKYRIE PROFILE to me, both in having to traverse maps and the TALES-ish combat. I liked Skullgirls a lot, so this interests me as I thought the first VP game was one of the better games to come out at that time (the sequels I played were, IMO, rubbish).
  16. Sounds like they got a traditional development deal and decided they didn't need the kickstarter, if I'm reading it right.
  17. I love this picture so much. So I believe this picture is from a TLC UK thing (documentary? show?) that talked about Furries. In the article they talk about Furries being connected to Etherians. That's a term I haven't heard before, is it like a UK term for Otherkin or is it related to Meade Layne's alternate universe theory that UFOs are from another dimension (Etheria) or something else (like I'm mishearing "therianthropy" somehow)?
  18. That is correct. Or rather, I can eat pizza and spaghetti...but it has to be sans any kind of sauce with anything even vaguely tomato-ey in it. Personally, I like pizza without any sort of sauce, while I'm perfectly amicable to spaghetti cooked in other sorts of sauces, such as garlic and olive oil and other things. Going for the pre-Neopolitan pizza. I can dig it. I won't be joining you there, but I can dig it. Hasn't worked for me personally, though it is sound advice. I keep starting side-projects for this purpose, but once I've kinda designed the ideas and what the product will be and such I run out of interest. I have a hard time doing it on anything other than whim nowadays. So what exactly did you want to do with graphic arts/games that you aren't getting in your job? At this point, I don't even know anymore. I always enjoy seeing a finished product, but the process of getting there... when I was learning new things, it was super interesting. Now that I know how everything works and can do it, it's just become a slog. I think I enjoyed learning about how to make a game more than I actually enjoy making a game. And that made me think I was really into game development. EDIT: I give up on the quoting system. So essentially what you want is diversity? A challenge? Have you considered trying to find some kickstarter (or similar indie venture) to volunteer with?
  19. I like it, too, but I mean, c'mon, it's a supermarket fruit juice...you get what you pay for. *Except salsa where it is not the primary ingredient - unlike most supermarket "salsas" - and only specific, weaker-flavored (IMO) tomatoes: too strong or too much of tomatoes and you ruin the salsa for me. Blah. I put tomatoes AND ketchup on hamburgers. You can't be too careful with your tomato taste. Insurance Sales Agent, Pharmacist and Lawyer. Things that do, indeed, not appeal to me in the slightest. Hasn't worked for me personally, though it is sound advice.

  20. I tried original V8 (I've probably tried the others but don't recall) and I love tomatoes. Tomato soup, raw tomatoes, etc. But somehow when they mix it up with real vegetables (tomato being a fruit and all) and I don't know, it just never really works for me.
  21. I'm saying that I don't assume people-plants and/or plant-people are automatically concerned or care about the same things that people-humans do.
  22. Instead of finding a different career, maybe try to work on a personal project that might renew your interest in the graphic arts or video games? I know of a couple of different commercial artists, for example, who created side comic strips as a way to remain connected to the things they love about art that they weren't getting in advertising or marketing. Bartimaeus - V8
  23. Ah, if that's what they mean I wouldn't have put it that way. EDIT: The addition of non-person is what makes that the most ridiculous. Non-person is an "inclusive" term for those who claim they were born as the wrong species or even item. Otherkin. Furries. Those who identify as a dragon, or a plant, or a ****ing hoover. Because that kind of person needs to be included, instead of sent to a goddamn institution. If this is what they meant, then surely they're showing their human-centric bias in their thoughts? If I am a plant, then I care not for your human emotional structures like shame, surely...?
