way to contribute to the overwhelming and sad problem that most people see the internet as an excuse to be an asshole at others for no reason

fairly certain at this point there's gonna be a bunch of people who are gonna misread that sentence. I probably should have written more clearly and less hyperbolically. Oh well

I know. Although personally I wouldn't consider the gamecube adapter as optional. Who plays Smash without a gamecube controller? Besides lunatics

If I wanted to get the most out of SSB, sure, they're making me buy those toys

Fair enough. Must have missed that :/

So like, choosing between whether Mario has the FLUDD or does his old spinning attack on the down B? Sounds good. Kind of feels like it will lead to some Meta-Knight levels of intensely broken characters but hey ho. I got a hold of Project M recently and how tightly made that is made me realise how unbalanced Smash…

I'm not mad. I'm just voicing an opinion, one that i'm grateful to have been challenged by your first paragraph. Your second paragraph is just needless internet antagonism. As per usual I guess.

That's.. kind of more practical an idea I guess? Can't say that's bad really. Not sure how I feel about levelling systems though. I quite like having fighters in fighting games remain static while the only improvement is your own skill. Although Smash has never been particularly well balanced in the past so maybe it…

I'm a little annoyed that they're taking the one game franchise that turns me into a dribbling idiot fan over and making me buy a bunch of losable figurines i don't want just so I can get the most out of it. It actually strikes me as much worse a cheap moneygrab than DLC could ever be.

I prefer to believe that remaining friends with racists while calling them on their shit will do more to tide the world somewhere better than just simply ostracising them. If anything, you can't accuse me of not trying?

This is also a very good point. Lucky I don't have kids, but if I did, I'd be worried about them picking up on some of my friends' latent misogyny because I had welcomed them in as a cool uncle, or whatever.

Fair point. I certainly did ditch an old friend when their light racism turned full nazi. That was a bit too rich for me.

but by abandoning her as a friend aren't you giving her space to find a new bunch of people who will just reinforce those views?

actually i think having a laugh at a man's dick is just about the only way you can easily reduce him down to sex object/dehuman/failure. A lot are *really* insecure about it and fall into the same sex industry-induced delusion that an 9-inch all-destroying pornodick is really what all women want. The saving grace is…

I think the unfortunate truth is that people who are used to having been bullied for their tastes often end up thinking that's standard behaviour on how to relate to people, and end up being the exact same kind of bully.

I can't help but feel like people who feel robbed from not getting all the achievements in a game are actually getting lessons from achievements like this on how to engage their priorities correctly

well

or it's possible that she was perfectly happy with her life to the point of boredom

so the MGSV and Killzone ones are "rare" simply because he finds not killing innocent NPCs too difficult?

woah. people actually choose seth
