Jokes on you, Macs can't get viruses.

The way they're built with quality parts means that viruses can't worm their way through the machine like they can on windows computers.

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Are you trying to tell me Jabba the Hutt isn't real?

It's okay for a run or two, but I don't enjoy as much as I once did.

It's the shame the series went downhill like it did. Crysis 2 was a slog, and by all accounts that I've heard, Crysis 3 was somehow, bafflingly, the worst in the series.

At what point does this obsession with aggregate good preclude slavery, Stalinism, or other collectivist nonsense?
The point where you realise that slavery, Stalinism and collectivist nonsense has been pretty clearly consequentially bad for aggregate well-being.

The point I'm making is about operations it may be necessary to conduct on the margins of knowledge, in order to better inform our various decision-making processes.
Not for slave owners or Stalin supporters. I think perspective is a key issue here.

OT: I don't see how it being secret or not matters so much as the rationale and accomplishments of it... not that I'm endorsing it or anything.

objectively
I mean, using this word constantly (and inappropriately) doesn't make your arguments any more or less opinionated.
Except I'm using it appropriately.

I've proven sexuality to be objectively undesirable by any rational standard. Nobody has proven me wrong.
You've never proven it objectively, and personal feelings are not facts. No one's 'proven you wrong' by your standards because you have a major habit of moving goalposts.

Saying 'objectively' a lot doesn't change the fact that it's not objective.

No one legally forced them to censor their own game.
Well, yeah. That doesn't necessarily mean they'd agree to it, though.

not that i care--if they disagree, they're wrong
The fact remains that they chose to censor it of their own accord.

if they disagree, they're wrong
now that's just childish 'logic'

Didn't you just say a few days ago that satire needs to be obvious?
Uh. No?

ot when it's poorly-executed and presented as though it isn't satire
Well-executed =/= obvious.

And that video was obviously satire--I just chose not to watch it past the thirty-second mark.

You're really dumb.

It's clear that you're not exaggerating.
I just said that a clear example of censorship wasn't censorship, simply because it's better off. The implication being that most people consider censorship a bad thing--so any example of "good" censorship must not be censorship. That's the exaggeration, and it's painfully obvious.
I didn't find it obvious. Didn't you just say a few days ago that satire needs to be obvious?

inb4 people can't detect satire

oh
not when it's poorly-executed and presented as though it isn't satire
the apparently not-presented-as-satire satirical video in question being this:

And it's not like anybody forced Nintendo's hand, for one thing; they agreed to it.
Do you have proof of this?

Because if they agreed to remove it for the Western release, then people should absolutely not be crying over this.

There's no defense.
No one legally forced them to censor their own game.

Damage control.

"I fell for an obvious Das-tier exaggeration."
i didn't think you were actually serious with the 'damage control' reply

and like, I'm otherwise agreeing with you anyway


Probably the shittiest possible application of that image, ever.

You fell for an obvious exaggeration and are now trying to make me look bad, when YOU look bad.

Damage control. Get fucked, repeatedly.

But no, it's absolutely wonderful that you agree with me. I'm ecstatic.
It's clear that you're not exaggerating. But I'm a bit weirded out that you're overreacting about two words ???

this is out of character for you

Spoiler
usually it takes a bit more than that to get you this mad

I'd prefer an opt-in/out setting instead.
Well, I don't disagree, but that's a bit silly, too. The opt-in/op-out setting is simply making the choice not to use the creepy-ass feature. Or not purchasing the game.
Yeah, I think it should be a choice.

OT: Seriously though, I'm fine with something like the FE change, although I'd prefer an opt-in/out setting instead.

I don't like the thought of 'censorship is okay when something weirds me out', but this particular event seems like such a trivial issue, especially when there's much worse censorship going on in the world. And it's not like anybody forced Nintendo's hand, for one thing; they agreed to it.

I'm still a bit conflicted, though.

But it's not. That thread is not this thread.
he's making the same argument in both threads though
