Looks like trash.
FF is a series that intrigues me, though--I might decide to run through the entire main series some day, starting with 1.

It's well established that third-parties tend to take votes away from the two main parties
Right, they take away from the other candidate. They don't give anyone anything.
It's just a bad use of language.
Not really.
If you take away one runner's shoe, you're contributing to the win of the other runner. Either way you're at somewhat responsible for the outcome of the race.
Gotta agree with Meta here. Two sides of the same coin. Taking away an advantage of one participant translates into contributing to his or her opponent. Sure, you can say that putting one at a disadvantage isn't the exact same thing as giving the other an advantage, but seeing how it's guaranteed to be either Trump or Hillary, any potential support for Hillary you now give to a third party does directly contribute to Trump's side.
But do notice how neither of you have used the word "give." "Contribute" is a much smarter word to use, because it's less misleading. "Give" would equate the act of consciously voting for a third party with the stupidity of consciously voting for Trump, which is unfair. It's much more reasonable and fair to say that third-party voters who would have voted for Clinton (note the specificity) are contributing a little to Trump's bid. If a Gary Johnson supporter would've voted for Trump, they're contributing to Hillary's bid. They're not physically "giving" a vote to anybody but who they voted for, and that's my contention.

I actually cleared the archers in a matter of two tries  Apparently Miyazaki went back and said that he thought the archers were maybe a little too much, but I didn't think they were that bad...

Oh, and just so I don't have to bring this up later:
Went back to Sen's Fortress for a second, because the fact that I missed the bonfire was REALLY bugging me.
Ended up finding it, along with a Sniper's Crossbow, which sounds awesome but I'm yet to test it out.

Woof.
I'm at a point where losing 5 digits worth of souls isn't that big of a deal anymore, but... 80K is approaching my threshold of acceptable losses. I think I'll call it a night.
(I was trying to kill a Titanite Demon when my controller died, ugh. It never warned me that it was running low on juice.)

I understand this. It would be more logical, then, to say that you're taking away votes from Hillary, and not giving votes to Trump.
Yeah if you're a pedantic jackass who doesn't understand hyperbole.
That's not what hyperbole is. A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration. What you made was just a false statement.
If you don't vote Hillary you're basically voting Trump fyi
Exaggeration.
I'd say you're exaggerating the definition of exaggeration.

Than you don't understand what I'm saying.
Because none of what you're saying is making any sense.
If you vote for a third party, then that vote that could have gone to say, Hillary, won't
Therefore Trump may still have 99 votes, but Hillary will only have 98
Voting third party takes votes away from the two parties that actually are capable of winning, which is one of the huge issues with two party systems
I understand this. It would be more logical, then, to say that you're taking away votes from Hillary, and not giving votes to Trump.

What the fuck are these archers.

Nvm, they weren't so bad.

How is it not making sense?
If Hillary doesn't win, Trump wins. Your candidate is not going to win a general election, you understand that... right?
None of this means that I'm giving a vote to Trump, or that Trump is assured to win. Least of all, it doesn't mean that I HAVE to be okay with Trump winning.

Yes it does
No, it doesn't. If Trump has 99 votes, and you vote for a third party, Trump still has 99 votes.

You guys need to reform your voting system already.
Switch to MMP and see your votes matter no matter who or what party you vote for!
Instant-runoff voting would be even better.

weird, you implied the same thing earlier =]
does the cognitive dissonance hurt?
I don't think you know what the terms "imply" or "cognitive dissonance" mean. If your vote has no value, not voting has negative value. This isn't hard.

yall are free to throw your votes away and justify it to yourselves however you want =^]
"throw your vote away" would imply that your vote has any value this election cycle in the first place feel free to delude yourself that it does?

Voting for a third party is totally respectable and not the same as abstaining
is this post sarcastic because if not the unironic use of the word "totally" threw me off

You shouldn't.
#JillWillsIt
she's anti nuclear and her party doesnt do shit at the local level, theyre just as much of a meme as the lolbertarians
The only other option for me is to abstain, which isn't a fantastic idea either.
voting green essentially is abstaining
5%

Yes, you should.
Why? It's a nice thing to do.
Your entire behavior on this planet should be based solely on "nice things to do."
