Hm, using anime or games might be a risky example in my mind. Anime and games are generally geared to appeal to a harem style fantasy. While I agree that they may be some of the only examples of polyamory, they aren't exactly the most healthy examples.

Ultimately I have no issue with polyamory so long as all members…

The term blanket statement exists because you're not focusing on specific examples. Your post was used as an example to make a broader comment. If I were to analyze your own personal situation, I would be asking you questions about your relationship. But that's not the case, I instead was using what you said to give…

I believe he was referring to the actual in game ship insurance that covers most anything but a titan.

I believe that line of thinking warrants some introspection as well though. If you're having to be "pulled away from a game for sex" I'd ask if you're spending too much time with your hobby and ignoring your SO. Is it the hobby the SO doesn't respect? Or at they resentful of the fact that you put the hobby before…

Nah, Korea and China do make anime, they just admit that it's subpar to Japanese anime. Anime in itself is just an abbreviation of animation, so "japanimation" makes sense as a conjunction of japanese animation. You may not like how it sounds, or even the use of the word, but connotatively it makes sense. It helps to…

I like eating raw potatoes, there's just some things that we enjoy that, while are normal to us; are in reality not so normal.

And I'm stating that he's not talking about American aboriginals. HumanAbyss was speaking to Nucleus, who in turn is referring to the article. The article is about Australia. He's stating that he's American and doesn't know anything about Australian aboriginals.

Nope, what you said is perfectly fitting in that "you can say that about most any game." Like I said, I wasn't trying to pick on you, you were just the first person to reply, and had a somewhat "who cares about x game" response.

While I'm not particularly a LoL fan, it really seems that folks hate on it because it is that popular. It seems a lot like people hating on WoW just to do so, that it's the "thing" to do.

Now, I'm not pointing fingers at you specifically, your reply was just a convenient place to give commentary about this. Whether…

Could you also say you're an AD&D folk? eh? eh?

Stick them with the pointy end.

I guess it depends if they are socially functional geeks, or socially awkward nerds. I have a table top group that consists of all "normal" seeming people. A marine, a college football coach, a physician, a principal, a warehouse manager, a chef, and a nutritionist.

We can all have conversations about sports, cars,…

No, this is definitely far less weird than larping. It's still eye-rolling weird, but larping....

I understand that the term is used in other places, but the article is in regards Australia, to which the individual whom I was responding on behalf of was referring to.

He was indeed stating he's American, and replying to having ignorance regarding Australian aboriginals, I'm not sure what the confusion there is.

Wait, you attack his intelligence and knowledge regarding a topic only to say that you yourself weren't able to have the reading comprehension skills to determine that "Aboriginal" and "Australian" doesn't have to do with Native Americans? Yes. That is an issue worth addressing.

I don't agree with that statement. Before I began to practice medicine in Texas I taught government and history here as well. Even with how backwards people view texas, and the fact that it's rated in the bottom 50 of all states for education it still does a very thorough job of covering the misdeeds done to the…

Fair enough, I await it as well, but unfortunately the story of the main character of that game has ended.

"I'm really hoping for a game similar to Mass Effect." You know those moral choices in Mass Effect? They started in KoToR. You know those dialog choice wheels? Guess where those came from as well.... Character class progression? Party romance? Your own ship? Interactable crew?

How exactly would you like it to be…

He asks about Australian aboriginals, you reply with,
"It's really dissapointing that american history teaches you so little."

I agree, it is a shame he never learned about the aboriginals of Australia.

You go on to talk about Native Americans and that, " it's actually not that surprising in retrospect that your school…
