Well that’s poking enough don’t you think Duracell?
I’m within my bounds here; what I say is valid in light of Presidrnt Trump and Charlottesville.
No you’re not. Go to hell.
White privilege in action.
No.
Don’t any of you realize that slavery and racism define every single aspect of American society down to the smallest details?
Yes. I’m racist against people who are bright blue on the left side and bright red on the right side. That’s why my Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons are grey.
what’s your position on breastfeeding in public? Do you agree with Warb that it shouldn’t be done?
I believe that it might make some people uncomfortable; and while the mother ought to legally be allowed to do so, she also should be kind and considerate by covering up. Also, breastfeeding isn’t the same as bottlefeeding–it’s an intimate moment with a mother and her baby. I believe that a woman would be prudent to either have a cover or a bottle while in public. Neither is difficult to manage.
I understand the position that “people who are uncomfortable should get over themselves”, and perhaps to some degree that’s true. But in my view that is equally as crass as a woman who knows it is bothering someone and does it anyway.
Well, the nudity argument is a separate one from the breastfeeding argument.
That’s not necessarily true.
Why are you guys arguing with Warbler about his opinion of the (in)appropriatness of nudity in public? He has already made his position clear. Berating him and telling him to “get over it” accomplishes nothing more than to validate the right’s argument that the left is just as argumentatively intolerant of opposing view.
Let the man have his opinion about nudity (which I, by the way, entirely agree with.)
Re breastfeeding in public: You know, Udder Covers are a thing that do exist. It’s basically an apron designed to allow for privacy and modesty while breastfeeding in a public setting. That being so, I don’t see why one even need argue about it.
hadn’t heard of Udder Covers.
I hadn’t either until my daughter was due to be born.

Trump is a full player in this and has been carefully crafting his response to be inflammatory while appearing sympathetic to whites.
Okay, you’re using the words “Trump” and “careful” in the same sentence here. Trump may believe in conspiracy theories, but he’s not intelligent enough to successfully participate in one. It’s far more likely that Trump himself is a pawn, especially considering how easily manipulable he has proven to be.
TV’s Frink said:
Don’t encourage him - if you ignore him he’ll go away until the next time.
“The next time?! …The next time?
What am I gonna do with you people, huh? I held up my end. I delivered the Blue Boy. What do I get for my triple threat: ‘Bow! Yield! Kneel!’ …That kind of stuff closes out a town.”
After the tragedy in Charlottesville I’m convinced we are in the beginnings of a second Holocaust. The GOP won’t be defeated in 2018, but even more radicalized with Trump supporters than even now. Who can stand up to Trump in the elections? The Dems are impotent and if they even get their act together they could be outlawed by an even more authoritarian government by a paranoid president. White supremacists are marching in the streets, and are going to just get stronger in the coming months. Everyone that is not them are going to die. We live in a country where one week feels like one year. By the end of four years the victims of this current are going to be either murdered or worn to complete mental exhaustion. We are reaching the point where this country chooses to be a country that only rich, white, straight, men of God only. If you don’t meet all four of these categories, the white supremacists say you can go fuck yourself. All of this is a lost cause. America is dead forever; all there is left is to scream in despair and pray that sweet death ends your suffering.fixed
How dare you silence me like that.
President Trump is an authoritarian white supremacist. He has enboldened nazism unseen since the days of Hitler. They are shouting “JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US” just a few days ago in the streets. One out of three Americans has pledged undying loyalty to him, and it will not be going down anytime soon. You think I am exaggerating when I say we are on the verge of a second Holocaust? Anything you would have deemed impossible only a year ago is now a near-certainty. Donald Trump will still be president in 2018. It’s possible that he could win reelection in 2020 if he can hold onto the rust belt and keep enough people disenfranchised. This is not normal. I was right all along about everything so far.
Nobody is silencing you. Dial back the drama, dude.
You assholes can bury you heads in the sand all you want, but facts are facts.
Yes. Trump is a narcissistic fascist who supports white supremacists and listens to conspiracy theorists.
We are in a second Holocaust.
umm… No.
Donald trump is president for life. His legacy will endure for decades.
lol what?
This country will let white supremacy win. Future generations of Americans will find themselves more isolated, more impoverished, and more oppressed than they are even today.
Where do you get this nonsense?
What our country is going through has never happened, EVER, in our nation’s history.
Or perhaps you just don’t know American history very well.
I just watched TNG S7E13 “Homeward” and Worf dealing with his human brother was more interesting to me than anything he’s ever done with the rest of the Klingons.
Is that the one with a planet whose atmosphere is dissipating and Picard won’t do crap to save the inhabitants because Prime Directive? Kirk would have found a way. 😉
That reminds me of the Voyager episode where Janeway explores Tuvok’s past through a mind meld, and she realizes how different Starfleet culture was back then (by basically reliving Star Trek VI from Tuvok’s perspective on the Excelsior.)
Meanwhile, I liked Curse a lot; and while MI2 was fun, I thought the ending was garbage.
So many people apparently wanted an MI3 by Ron Gilbert, but after the end of MI2 I didn’t care for the idea. He admittedly pulled that ending out of his rear; It wasn’t supposed to have some profound significance. (I’m having trouble finding it, but I remember reading an interview with Ron where he basically says they sort of threw the ending of MI2 together, and it had no deeper meaning other than being funny.)
I started with Tales of Monkey Island (at its launch), then got the Sam & Max trilogy, Back to the Future, and The Walking Dead Season 1. Interestingly, I started watching the TWD show because I played the game.
… while the Mass Effect Trilogy is one of my favorite series, I’m not sure how it relates to adventure games.

I wish there was a way to run the Dolphin emulator through the WiiU console. Skyward Sword looks beautiful.
I have a thing for going disc-free if at all possible (including on PC before Steam or GOG were actually a thing), and I put USB Launcher on my Wii with rips of all of my GameCube and Wii games. If I had a Wii U, I would move all my old ripped games to it on day one.
and never the TellTale shite.
Dude, no. If you actually care about storytelling, Tales from the Borderlands beats the pants off everything Gearbox has ever done with the franchise. Tales is an awesome Sci-fi buddy road trip adventure across Pandora.
Truth be told, I’m a big fan of Monkey Island. So I spent quite a long time hanging around the Telltale forums (much like we do here) starting from about the time Tales of Monkey Island came out. But then it became clear that Telltale is only interested in chasing the almighty dollar, and not in keeping their fanbase happy. I and several others left after they changed their forums to a reddit-style “community”.
My story is similar, though I came in when they first announced Sam & Max. I was also among those that downvoted Bruner when he forced the forum change.
I was one of several that migrated to the Off-Topic section of Double Fine’s forums.

It was from someone at the TTG forum that I learned about Adywan’s Revisited project, and sparked my interest in Star Wars fan edits.

JEDIT: I just now realized that was August 2010, and Adywan was still working on ESB:R then as well.
JEDIT AGAIN: Oh God, I was a noob back then.

No, that’s not the film I’m looking for. Notice that list, the one that shows all the changes? I don’t want the vast majority of those. I just want the movie that was projected on theater screens in 1977. Something coming as close to approximating the image quality of the original celluloid as is possible in modern-day mass-market home releases would be nice.

What’s wrong with watching the “original theatrical version” that comes on Disc 2 of the Limited Edition DVD? It’s taken from the Laserdisc version, but it works just as well. It doesn’t even say “Episode IV” in the crawl.
Yikes. That’s really embarrassing to see myself say that.

Telltale Games’ storytelling is good, but the gameplay is bad. TTG is not the point-n-click successor to LucasArts that everyone thought they might be. Instead, they make interactive stories. Plus, while you feel the choices matter, the truth is they don’t. Story branches commonly meet back together again, or some choice becomes moot (or both). That, and many of their games have various, potentially even game-breaking, bugs. And they move on to the next project instead of fixing the previous one.
My understanding is that many people in their fanbase come excited but go annoyed, as they become increasingly frustrated at how their concerns for a certain game go unanswered.
You know, when I bought Tales of Monkey Island, I bought the Deluxe Edition with a physical copy and a box full of “feelies”. One of the items in the box was supposed to be a cloth map of the ingame world or some such; but it turned out to be nothing more than an image of the ingame map onboard the ship (basically a cropped screenshot), printed smallishly on one side of a white cloth restaurant napkin. And that’s after they told us the Deluxe Edition would be released in “Spring” (my having pre-ordered it) but I didn’t get it until July–and when we were waiting and asked for an update on it they were stone silent.
Lots of clouds in the sky today.
Time to get yelling.
It’s nice to know you’re comfortable with being yourself.
I’m a huge fan of Trek (albeit I’m not a Trekkie; just a Star Trek fan). I like all of the TV series, and many of the movies (including the Kelvin Timeline). But I find Orville trailers to pique my interest or scratch my scifi-adventure itch, whereas any Discovery news just makes me sad.
I don’t need a “gritty” Star Trek, thanks. I’ll be happy if it turns out to be just one season–and look forward to whatever Nicholas Meyer is doing.
JEDIT: And that really is sad. I hated when Enterprise got cancelled “due to low ratings”. I want Trek to be successful, but not by injecting it with fans of The Walking Dead.
What scenes in Rogue One are specifically anti-Trump??
never the TellTale shite.
This made me both want to smile and to grimace.

I’ve been playing a link to the past. It’s still great.
Are you going to just beat it, or 100% it?
and may soon have the majority of the US Supreme Court
Soon? The Supreme Court has been a reliably Republican institution for generations!
The Warren Court has left the building, modern conservative Republicans have had at least a slim majority ever since. And Warren was a Republican too, just from the era when liberal Republicans existed. The problem for the Republicans is that as the Republican party races to more-and-more conservative positions, these lifetime Republican appointees on the court seem more liberal just by keeping to the same positions that got them nominated.
The court’s current swing vote, Anthony Kennedy, is a diehard Reagan Republican. Republicans own this thing already. The trick is that by today’s Republican standards, Reagan was a Communist Kenyan Muslim.
Was it conservative when it said gays have a Constitutional right to marry?
My understanding is that 1) conservatism values limited federal government; and 2) family law is traditionally left to the individual states. And therefore, if a state were to grant someone that right, the federal government would let them. What would be a federal issue is whether someone who is gay got married in one state but another state didn’t recognize it as legally legitimate.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
