You're welcome, self-upvoter! I'll send kisses your way. <3

In fairness, what color your life is shouldn’t matter. It does, but it shouldn’t, and I don’t think we should be encouraging that certain lives don’t matter. We can recognize an institution is flawed and bigoted without becoming what we hate.

Always love watching a loser laugh by themselves.

Inconsistent? Blue Lives have been ruining other lives for longer than you’ve been alive yourself. The only lives ruined by Pride flags have been those who ruined themselves because they don’t want to accept that they have the right to exist.

Bravo on Nexus for this decision. I am constantly amused watching bigots try and mental gymnastic around how their freedom of speech is being smothered... while doing everything in their power to smother the freedom of speech of others because THEIR freedom of speech makes the bigots uncomfortable.

That may have become the catalyst, but you can’t tell me Square Enix would have kept FFXIV the way it is now. It’s definitely Yoshi-P’s baby and markedly dissimilar to everything Square does.

Admittedly, in some cases indulging the producers turned things around, like in FFXIV’s case. But unless there’s oversight, it can quickly turn into a mess, and such a privilege shouldn’t be handed out all the time.

Yeah but, that would require me to either use Gale or be a Wizard instead of a Sorcerer, and that's a sacrifice too great for me to agree to.

Uh huh. You’re about two weeks late, bud. Take you that long to think up your witty retort or you just browsing old content for the lulz?

Maybe that’s why the villains in my TT games tend to be popular with my groups; you can look at anything they do and see the reasoning behind it. Anyone truly deranged and murderous isn’t going to reach levels of importance in the story without some SEVERE deus ex machina.

Yeah, I’m not going to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade my system for a prettier version of a 2008-2011 game. If you like it enough to do that, great, happy for you, hope you continue to enjoy it, but for me that’s a no-sell.

The key word is “factored”. News would be a factor, because news of new consoles moves stock, and thus affects the current fiscal year. They’re saying that there will be nothing regarding new hardware as a factor this fiscal year, so there won’t likely be news either.

The Gamecube and Switch lacking BC makes sense because they completely changed the form factor of their games from cartridge to optical, and then back to cartridge again. Sucks, but generally you’re not going to get backwards compatibility in those situations.

/glances to New Super Mario Bros. Wii U

My docked playtime compared to my portable playtime is literally 99.99 to 0.01. It’s a nice feature, don’t get me wrong, but it’s definitely not a consideration for me when choosing consoles.

Weren’t you out, kiddo? Or were you looking to embarrass yourself even further? Because nothing you can say will get me to do anything other than laugh at you. The argument’s already over, you lost when you threatened to pack up and go home like a child, so go be a child and tuck yourself into bed. I’ll even sing you…

Point is, it was incredibly likely he was going to be successful because he was the protagonist. In shonen anime, that’s almost a guarantee.

I’d rather be realistic rather than deluding myself just so I can stand out more at parties.

People lie. Especially about mafia bosses being your dad. /shrug

Statistically, the character being focused on is going to be the most successful no matter how much of a longshot they are. It's almost as though they’re written characters and not real people.
