Was criticizing the sexism/racism/everything-ism craze that has infected fandom recently and how you can’t enjoy anything for what it is. You have to look for some form of under/misrepresentation in everything. Sounds like the conversation hit on some of the same points as i did. Cool.

So, just keep going to the well and beat the dead horse on your way there? Seems fair.

No, I didn’t listen. Didn’t pretend to listen. Between Kotaku and io9, however, half of the articles are about whitewashing/under-representation/racism/sexism/etc so I figure my over-under on being correct is better than a Major League batting average. Just kind of over the whole thing after getting kicked down to the…

The sooner we all realize that everything is sexist/racist/genderist/specist the sooner was can accept that nothing is worth being created and simply wait for the inevitable end. Seems the be the only way to make some people happy.

God, it’s been over 20 years and still nobody has created a better theme than Terra’s, let alone a full soundtrack that matches up. It’s. So. Good. Just watching that video above made me want to go back and play the entire (SNES) game again.

People be shitty.

Wow. WOW.

The OP did not compare them to video games, he used football as an reason for the violence. It’s not much of a stretch in that both video games and football being blamed for a school shooting is Fucking. Stupid.

I do? Do tell, miss Sally. Show my this magical connection between gun violence and football. Hell, show me these parallels between being a ‘cripple’ and being a former football player. You just want to stir the pot, bring absolutely no facts of justifications to the table, and then have the audacity to tell me that…

No, get your facts straight. The VAST majority of football players retire with little more than a few nagging injuries, and were rewarded handsomely for their efforts. My dad has more injuries and is more crippled than his two post-NFL friends do from being a welder. Sometimes hard work hurts, regardless of the field.…

How? Does football have potential long-lasting consequences? Yes. Does that mean it’s the same as shooting another human being with a fucking gun? No, not at all. I’m not denying the effects of the game, I’m refuting the fact that football is related to gun violence, especially when held up against other, much more…

Again, how is hitting another fully ‘protected’ human being at all the same as shooting and killing someone? This hypothetical line you speak of is miles long and tenuous at best. By your claim, is hockey not more violent than football? They do, after all, allow full on fights on the ice. For that matter, what of MMA,…

But how does ‘glorifying’ football = people shooting schools? Literally NOTHING you stating has anything to do with gun violence. At all.

Seriously, man, football as a culprit? That’s a bit of a reach there, Stretch Armstrong.

So, we’re back to this now, huh? Easy scapegoat. Don’t blame his mental state, KKK, lack of school security, etc. I thought we were beyond this ‘low-hanging fruit’.

What you did there, I see it.

I’ve been out of the PC loop for the past few years. My CPU heatsink/fan broke at the beginning of the month. Bough a new one for $25 off of Amazon, I was gifted a 250GB SSD from my father-in-law, and my friend on a whim messaged me and asked if I wanted his ‘old’ Titan Black for free. After 4 hours of 4K 60 fps…

Am I the only one that likes the eyes? Anyone?

Really want to get back in some Monster Hunter. It’s been a few weeks and I’m jonesin’.

Clean your fucking house. Ugh.
