Gaming / Nintendo Switch paid online service delayed to 2018; will be $20 a year« on: June 01, 2017, 10:39:15 PM »
https://www.engadget.com/2017/06/01/nintendo-switchs-online-features-will-cost-just-20-a-year/
Quote When Nintendo announced that the Switch would feature a paid online subscription model like Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus, it was vague on the details. We knew the service would cost less than the competition and offer some kind of subscription bonus, but the specifics weren't clear. Today, Nintendo filled in some of those details: starting in 2018, online services for Nintendo Switch will cost just $20 a year -- a fee that buys online play, voice chat and access to a "compilation" of classic Nintendo titles that have been modded for online multiplayer. Fantastic price, and Switch users (all three of us) won't have to worry about paying it for the remainder of the year. 186

and everyone (except for you) is now a cannibal
They're not ravenous, zombie-like cannibals; you're not in any danger. Nobody outside of the factory farm is. They just consider "human" to be a part of a balanced and socially-acceptable diet now, like pork, chicken, or beef. Humans considered to be the absolute dregs of society are captured and forced into farms as livestock. After being fattened to the point where they can't walk, they are stuffed in a tightly-packed room to wait for their impending (perfectly humane) slaughter by guillotine. Their hands and feet are cleanly severed off so they don't try to fight back, and cauterized with hot iron so they don't bleed out. Once the human livestock are slaughtered, a butcher takes care of the deboning process and severs the most valuable and nutritious parts of the body (thighs, buttocks) and prepares them for distribution. Obviously, children of livestock are mass-produced in vitro, but women are still frequently raped and impregnated in order to efficiently produce breastmilk. All of the negative health effects of cannibalism have been accounted for; it's now perfectly healthy to consume humans, and it's widely encouraged by nutritionists and health experts. Oh, and they taste delicious. Not only will everyone tell you that they do, they'll look at you funny if you deny it. If you try to tell them what they're doing is wrong, they'll give you an even funnier look. They might even get defensive and ask you to stop judging them. Some of them will start treating you like you're an asshole trying to spread an agenda. Only a small bevy of angry teenagers you meet on the Internet happen to think these people are crazy and evil. They are largely mocked and derided by the whole of society, while some people say things like, "I respect their opinion, but I'm never going to stop eating humans, because they taste so good!" What do you make of this world you now live in? How would you feel about it? What questions do you have for these people? Could you live in this society for 20+ years? Would you join them, or would you try to fight back? Do you think you could you compose yourself in conversation with anybody from this society? What would you do? 192
Gaming / Anita Sarkeesian: The Lady Sidekick - Tropes vs. Women in Video Games« on: May 10, 2017, 05:48:39 AM »
Sad news: Apparently, this is the LAST Tropes vs. Women video she's ever doing.
The series has had a lot of ups and downs--she's made good points and bad points--but at least she's sending it off with a good subject. So, for the last time: TRIGGER WARNING: The following video contains feminism; if you're a stupid bigot, please move along. YouTube Quote “OK, it looks like I can open it from here, but I can’t go with you. Here goes!” Not a bad video, but having played Half-Life 2, I think she's underselling Alyx's role in that game a little bit. Now that the series is over, here's every video she's ever made in this series: Damsel in Distress: Part 1 Damsel in Distress: Part 2 Damsel in Distress: Part 3 Ms. Male Character Women as Reward Women as Reward: Special DLC Mini-Episode Women as Background Decoration: Part 1 Women as Background Decoration: Part 2 Strategic Butt Coverings Body Language and the Male Gaze Lingerie is Not Armor Are Women Too Hard to Animate? All the Slender Ladies: Body Diversity in Video Games Sinister Seductress Not Your Exotic Fantasy The Lady Sidekick Looking back, I'm a little disappointed that she never really made a video that was dedicated solely to over-sexualization and sexual objectification. Of course, she gives no shortage of attention to that issue in all of her videos—it's a very broad topic, after all—but the closest she comes to fully tackling the subject is her infamous Women as Background Decoration video, where she unfairly criticizes Hitman: Absolution for allegedly encouraging you to kill and degrade the bodies of some scantily-clad women that appear in one scene—when in reality, the game actually penalizes you for doing so. She caught more flak for that than the entirety of her series, and even I was disappointed with that video. She also only made TWO videos in her short-lived Positive Female Characters mini-series, which is unfortunate. Nonetheless, she's made more good points than bad and rustled a lot of people's feathers along the way—and even though all of her criticisms are generally constructive and well-substantiated, and conducted in a very polite, courteous, respectful manner, people still managed to get pissed over her opinions. I think that's pretty funny. Whenever people tell me that I'd be a lot more agreeable if I didn't have such a caustic personality, I think of Anita Sarkeesian to remind myself of how untrue that is. 193

The Flood / Spoiler YouTube movie reviewers« on: April 27, 2017, 01:48:30 AM »
You know, I could really just show you one thing to completely sum up my thoughts on Alien: Resurrection. Enjoy.
Well, guys, we have come to Alien: Resurrection, which was directed by the man who later made Amélie. Who the hell knows what happened with this movie? Probably a lot of studio interference, and a lot of people who were just really not capable of making a film, I guess, and they decided to do whatever the hell they wanted, and this is what we got. I hate this movie. I hate Alien: Resurrection. This is an abomination. This film has barely a single redeeming quality in it. Theres isn't a—there really is nothing. There's—there's nothing, really, to talk about. You could talk about the Xenomorph. uh, "creatures," I guess? In Alien: Resurrection, they decide to create a clone of Ripley. This isn't really the real Ripley, because if you haven't seen Alien 3 (spoilers), she dies. So we have a clone of Ripley, because I guess they want to use her as a host to create more alien creatures, because, of course, man really wants Xenomorphs, because, you know, why not? Why do they want to clone Ripley anyway? Why is she the host? Why do they have to have this warrant officer, who was magically a lieutenant in Alien 3, despite having her license revoked in Aliens? Somehow she got to be, like, a lieutenant during the cryo-sleep period between Aliens and Alien 3, I guess, and now she's a clone. This movie was written by Joss Whedon, by the way. I don't know what happened with this film. And Whedon himself has expressed extreme dissatisfaction in the film. He stated his script was more fun and lighthearted, but the director made everyone be more serious, and these two tones don't match up. And that's, you know, I guess that's an okay excuse, but to me, an Alien film shouldn't be fun or lighthearted. It should be suspenseful and terrifying. And so the director had the right idea in trying to make it more serious, but the script wasn't supposed to be that serious, and so the two just never mesh as a whole. It's really two people doing everything wrong for what this film should be. Even the film's score is just so over-the-top and incredibly loud and just overbearing. Everything about the way the film is constructed just doesn't work. The dialogue that's being spoken, if it was more of a Firefly/Serenity/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Avengers-type Whedon-esque experience, that could work, but the film itself just doesn't understand how to accomplish that tone, and the script still has quite a bit of problems. Namely, never really explaining why Ripley has to be cloned, beyond just a franchise that's being milked until it dies by a studio, which is the real answer. Another massive mistake this movie makes is having the aliens caged from the opening scene. They're pets. They're being experimented on. How terrifying. This perfect organism that was so scary in Alien and Aliens is now just behind some glass, and they have a button that can shoot ice mist at it, and, you know, how fucking horrible is that? It takes the fear completely out of the movie. They also show the creatures far too much. I love the look of Xenomorphs. They're my favorite alien design of all time. But the idea of showing it constantly, constantly, over and over again, is the same reason Jaws: The Revenge (among many reasons) sucked. They just showed the shark all the time. Like, you have to keep that shit hidden. You can't just always show it on frame. Ridley Scott and James Cameron understood that. Let's talk about Sigourney Weaver in this movie, who is an actress that I really love. I think she's fantastic in just about all the Alien movies, even Alien 3. In this film, she's like this really over-sexualized person that just goes around touching everybody and staring in each other's eyes, looking like she wants to fuck literally every character in this film, including the Xenomorphs. Quote "So, who do I have to fuck to get off this boat?" But really, everyone's on this level. Ron Perlman, who I usually adore—one of my favorite character actors of all time—is insanely over-the-top in this movie. Winona Ryder is awful. There's also a character in this movie named Christie, who has a hilarious scene where he bounces bullets off of a ceiling. That's where we're at here, people. The film also takes about 50 minutes before the plot fully kicks in, and you can forget about all the dumb mad scientist experimentation bullshit, and the characters are finally running through the corridors and the aliens are, you know, taking them out one by one. It's 50 minutes into the movie before anything really happens that's worth a damn. Everything before that is very awkward sexual tension scenes between Winona Ryder and Sigourney Weaver, a hilarious basketball scene that has no purpose in the movie other than to go, "Look, Sigourney Weaver made the shot backwards!" This entire film, like, I'm telling you, every decision they made was wrong. Every single one. Just take the characters alone: They're expendable movie characters 101. Everything that you shouldn't do with a movie character here. It's just everyone's a quirk. It's like, oh, there's a guy in a wheelchair, he can't walk and he talks like this, and he's a guy in a wheelchair, so that's his character. Quote "Who were you expecting? Santa Claus?" Ron Perlman's a really angry guy who's angry. The one guy can bounce bullets off walls. They're all just a quirk. They have nothing interesting about them. Nothing. Literally nothing. The movie was really bad before, but the last fifteen minutes are absolute insanity. There is nothing in the entire Alien universe that holds up to the last fifteen minutes of Alien: Resurrection. When Ripley gets sucked into this—this—whatever the fuck that was, it's just, I don't know what's happening. YouTube That entire sequence. I actually have no words. I don't know what to say, guys. Let's just talk about the fucking newborn. Oh my god, the design for the newborn. This thing looks like a deformed penis with eyeballs. I don't—I have no idea what they were thinking. This thing is so fucking stupid-looking, I—it's so fucking dumb. I hate it. I hate the newborn. I hate it, guys. I really do. I fucking hate it. It's so stupid. But hey, at least it has, like, an amazing death that's really gross and over-the-top like pretty much everything in this movie. I mean, for fuck's sake, every decision—I keep saying this, but it's true—every decision in Alien: Resurrection was wrong. This movie is an abomination. I hate it. It is definitely the worst in the official Alien four films, without a doubt. Oh my god. Ugh. But hey, at least next, I get to watch and review Alien vs. Predator. My future's looking up. Oh, fuck. Guys, thank you so much as always for watching this review. I appreciate it. And if you like this, you can click right here, and get Stuckmannized. 200

Serious / Does most disagreement on the Internet boil down to semantic misunderstanding?« on: March 28, 2017, 07:51:53 AM »
I've been arguing with people on the Internet for nearly a decade, and it's my personal experience that, if the argument comes to any sort of resolution whatsoever, it usually turns out that my opposition and I were both arguing on the same page, and we agreed on a lot, if not most, if not all the things we were fighting about.
The problem was, the words we were using, our methods of argumentation, clashed. Maybe I took a more logical approach, whereas they took a more emotional approach. Maybe my arguments were based on pure reason alone, and they preferred to pull up research, data, and statistics (which I still think is a waste of time). I had this a lot with people like Meta--I can push Meta to the point where he's inches away from conceding that capitalism is dogshit, but there are various things that we get hung up on before we come to that point. He'll talk about how capitalism innovates, and how competition is a good thing--whereas my position has always been, "It's not the worst thing in the world, but it could be a fuck of a lot better." If you read between the lines, you'll see that referring to economic competition as "a good thing" is kinda the same exact thing as saying "it's not the worst but it could be way better." The latter is phrased in a completely different way, yet they're both, essentially, the same sentiment. The difference lies with our personalities. I'm less satisfied with the system of capitalism than Meta is, because it's fucked me and those I care about so often, whereas Meta may not have had the same experience. Meta is just one example--I see this kind of thing a lot. Two people agreeing on a subject, but their personalities clash, making it look like they disagree, when they're actually pretty much on the same page. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Is there any truth to the question in the title? |
