Violence against ideas is authoritarian
could just be cathartic
A lot of it is probably very cathartic for people, but it's still essentially telling someone that they don't have a right to express their opinion without the threat of physical harm.

A society where that is acceptable is not free.
freedom is overrated

while people are debating on whether the shorthand for this game should be "ultimate," "smash 5," "SSBU," or "smush"

i've personally taken to referring to it as Smash $5.99

Never thought Pikachu would sound like an adult male but okay
that's the other thing

in the game, he has a REALLY deep voice, which is supposed to be jarring in a comical way

but the voice of ryan reynolds isn't really deep enough to make it clear that that's the effect they're going for, so it just comes across as weird and random or something they didn't think about

i won't even buy a meal's worth of food if it's over $10, so i'd have to be crazy to drop $60 on a game without thinking about it first

How are you not an adult you fucking dipshit you’re over 21
adulthood is about mentality and one's capacity to look out for oneself, age is arbitrary

you could say it's about "maturity" too but i don't even know what that means

why is it not a good idea to wait until you have money to buy something
Of course it's a good idea to wait until you're able to afford something, but whether or not you should actually buy it as soon as you're able to depends a lot on what it is and how much money you have. It tends to be a pretty good idea to build up a reserve and have money on hand for whatever might come your way as to invest, get interest, build credit, put it towards big long term projects like property, and to avoid having to go in debt, defaulting payments, hurting your credit score or just screwing yourself in any way. It's perfectly fine to wait and save up for big(ger) purchases, but if you can't afford to just go out and drop as small of an amount as $60 on something you want, then chances are you're probably not in a situation where you should do just that the moment you've got some cash again.
i mean, i guess you're not wrong, in the sense that we could all be more generally responsible with our money, but i just think there's a time and place to be dropping wisdom like that

either way, i wouldn't describe $60 as a small amount when we're talking about video games, especially to someone who probably doesn't even consider them to be anything more than meaningless entertainment

Might not be the best idea to grab a brand new game if you have to wait to get paid until you can get it.
i don't get it either
What's not to get? I go to work to get money, I bought a PS4 with my last paycheck and paid rent so I'm broke until the day after tomorrow.
i'm agreeing with you you dumb slut

The most baffling thing about Dark Samus is that its roll, despite having an animation that suggests it's much faster than Samus's shitty roll, is actually no different in terms of frame advantage. It might be 1 or 2 frames faster, or something.

It's also baffling how she can only now charge her shot in midair.

still, how hard can it be lmao
Around the same difficulty as Touhou on normal difficulty. You'll die a few times, but you'll eventually learn most of the patterns. You'll spend even less time if you played bullet hell games in the past.
not sure how easy true pacifist is considered to be, but i think i died a total of 7 times

i heard genocide is more tedious than difficult

okay, i wasn't sure if there was a difference

after experiencing the true ending, i genuinely have no desire to do a true reset for genocide, given the lore implications of that

Excellent soundtrack, unique premise and solid game design, but overall an underwhelming game that just wasn't my thing.
honestly the only reason i love it is because i get to tell a video game character that i don't like anime, and reject her when she asks me to watch one

just beat the true pacifist route blind after about 9 hours of gameplay

8/10--it truly is a game that everyone should play, especially fans of rpgs

to put it another way: if i were to rate the game as a story, i'd give it a 10/10, no joke

but it's a video game, so i have to rate it as a video game--it loses points for the first half of the game not being as polished as it could be (graphically, musically, or overall design-wise), a very droll sense of humor that's incredibly hit or miss at times, and a couple of minor-ish gripes that are practically inherent to the genre and can't be helped

the only reason i've tried it just now is because the creator just dropped a free follow-up game called delta rune, and since i love free shit, i had no reason not to get it--but i figured i might as well play the original game first, if this is some kind of sequel

so if for whatever reason you haven't played this by now, try it out, it's only $10 and it has MY endorsement so what other reason do you need

yep, sen's fortress is still one of my favorite areas, so much fun

i'm kicking myself for forgetting to pick the witch's ring, though
Im surprised you like sens fortress.

Im baffled as to why it gets any praise at all in the souls community when its video gamey as hell in an otherwise immersive world.
i think i know what you mean, actually, but i don't think it's so bad in that regard, and i tend to think of immersion as one of the game's secondary appeals anyway

i just think it's a lot of fun to go through, especially if you're trying not to get hit

« on: November 08, 2018, 03:14:23 PM »
i don't like to think of voting as a civic duty, because of the idea that you can vote while not knowing shit about politics

the civic duty should be to study and stay informed about your area's political issues (or any issues whatsoever) and the candidates who want to solve them, and then maybe vote once you feel 100% confident
well that is a separate conversation imo and is more specific to your country where (and I just found this out not too long ago) you guys don't teach civics in high school, which absolutely boggles my mind.

i also don't blame some people in your country for not feeling capable of understanding politics given how shitty your news outlets are. CNN might not be Fox News-tier, but they're fucking horrible in their own right. watching the election tuesday night, i can't tell you how many times i wanted to throw wolfe blitzer off a cliff in a wheelchair.

also i find the "i don't know enough" excuse to be kind of thinly veiled for laziness. if you force people into a booth they'll vote, and if they're truly uninformed then they'll just void their vote.
it's definitely lazy, but like you just said, it's hard to know who to trust these days, and some people just don't have the time nor the energy to sift out the wheat from the chaff in terms of reliable unbiased sources

personally, i'm content with the silver lining that a great deal of people who didn't vote were probably morons who had no business voting anyway, and that a not insignificant fraction the people who did end up voting probably should've abstained

so i'm not gonna condemn non-voters wholesale when there are indeed valid reasons not to vote

only sheer laziness and apathy are inexcusable, but those people aren't gonna vote no matter what

people who choose not to vote on the grounds of not knowing enough about the candidates should not get any shit, imo
