The Flood / Re: Why are women's breasts considered NSFW?
« on: June 03, 2015, 11:55:29 AM »


Women have functioning breasts, men don't. Tits have a sexual purpose whereas a bare man's chest doesn't.

Why would they be treated the same if they're totally different?
Tits are generally used as child rearing, not for sexual reproduction purposes. I really don't know why they're found to be sexual, but I'm sure there's a scientific reasoning for it.

Not to mention, men's pectoral muscles are generally considered attractive to women depending on how toned they are. So no, the "sexualization" argument doesn't really hold up.
I'm not talking about sexualisation, i'm talking about how breasts are directly related to sexual reproduction (which includes the process of rearing the young) and have been linked as something that is an indicator of partner suitability potential to men.

Yes pecs are sexualised, but so is everything nowadays. Besides; tits are considered NSFW anyways because of religious and cultural reasons stretching back over a thousand years or more in Europe (and so, the US, AU, NZ, etc...).

Speaking from a objective 21st century perspective there's not a great reason for them to be NSFW.
Like I said, regardless of how sexual breasts are considered to be, that's not really a viable reason to maintain a censorious array of laws to keep them covered in public. Either neither gender should be allowed to display their chest in public, or both should be. I don't appreciate double standards.
I'm not disagreeing. Although it's a bit weird for anyone of any gender to be topless any place other than the beach in the summer tbh. I suppose that's why the issue doesn't particularly matter to most.

It looks great, and it looks like it's been captured in-game or at least in-engine. Notice some flat or poor res textures in there? Perhaps it's closer to completion than we'd thought.

what about a built in rechargeable battery?
No plz. I have enough things to put on charge as is, at least I have the option to use rechargeable batteries if I want
A rechargeable battery is the better option
An option, yes. I appreciate it when companies give me options rather than arbitrarily deciding for me.
So having to buy extra things is better than not needing to?
A built in play & charge kit > batteries
Yeah, if you sell a regular controller too. I've had it happen when i've totally run out of batteries and i've had to make do using a USB cable to provide power to my controller. With a play and charge kit that would be a regular occurrence for me. No thanks
I fail to see the downside of not having to buy batteries
Having to sit there tethered to a console or extension lead instead. There is also the reality that batteries die out, a time will come when the controller becomes unusable because of that.
So you're complaining about having a wire connected to the console that you're likely sitting in front of? Do you walk around the house (or flat LOL) whilst you play games?
USB cables are only so long, I like to be able to not sit 2cm from the TV. And ffs, it's 2015. I'm not going to settle for wired controllers, I left that behind along with 8Mb memory cards and square TVs.
Except you weren't around for 8mb memory cards and tube tvs
Except I was? Why wouldn't I?
because you're like what, 13?
You were still in diapers by the time the 360 launched.
I'm 15, for the record. And I was still playing on my PS2 on my square CRT TV up until I got my 360 in 09.. Fucking retard.
At what age did you get the PS2?
Had it as long as I can remember, I started playing it when I was 4. I remember that I got my mother to buy Battlefront 2 when it launched-which is when I really started playing on it.

Now the question - Fall 2015, Spring 2016, or Fall 2016 release?
E3 launch. Why not just give everyone a brain aneurysm? Oh, and then Valve will swagger up onto the stage and announce Half Life 3 and Portal 3 exclusively for the 3DS to cap it off.

Spoiler
Spring 2016 launch

It's a pile of steaming shit. No-one outside of America cares because we have football (the real one) and rugby, the latter of which is superior to Hand-egg in every respect. The former is not even worth comparing as it's vastly more popular and interesting.

Most areas have a Wetherspoon's now where you can get a burger meal (as in a proper quarter pounder, pile of chips, couple of onion rings, a salad (if you wish) and a drink) for £5.
What Wetherspoon's are you going to? All of that would cost much closer to £10 than £5.
I have been to one here, in London and in bloody Glasgow-they all do that deal. Idk where you are going.

$1 burgers for $5?

We already have that here

So true! Burger King is nearly as expensive now as Sonic.. I remember back in the day, we could gte three meals for less than $15.. Now you can't get two meals without it being $15.
Idk what a blue hedgehog has to do with burgers but here in Britain it's far less expensive to either cook the equivalent yourself or to go to a proper restaurant. Most areas have a Wetherspoon's now where you can get a burger meal (as in a proper quarter pounder, pile of chips, couple of onion rings, a salad (if you wish) and a drink) for £5.

For that price at a BK you could get:


It's not much of a competition, especially as that BK image is BS. You get half the fries and the burgers are thin af.
