I feel like this individual is being intentionally glib, and possibly worse, intellectually dishonest in their portrayal and understanding of the situation.. I say that because you’ve already explained this to them and they ignored your response about the ‘script’ which is obviously particular to this scenario, and…

..and by “spewing” he must mean using facts and reasoning, got it. :)

Does everything in this game float?

I feel like there was a missed opportunity here to go for SupCom 3.. I want my Monkey Lord.. Hell, even the Megalith II LOOKED amazing:

Well then I’m sorry you don’t understand basic logic or how to identify fallacious reasoning.

AND, if you were to tell me you were straight, I wouldn’t care either. Is it maybe, ‘odd’, yeah, because I might presume I’ve stepped into an area which is friendly to gays enough to allow them to ‘come on to others’ and I’ve some how made you aware that I ‘may’ be doing casual conversation to instigate or drive…

Ah, well, I’ve worked in a city with trans individuals and the questions came up with such regularity that the necessity of it (to them) felt justified when presented with particular questions which often resulted in things she felt necessary to respond to. It’s a little bit assumptive but easier than waiting for…

Because sometimes the particular circumstances that led to the decision requires that sort of response to avoid needing to dig deeper into the conversation to hit those points. I think tokenism could be a valid complaint, but I don’t know if it’s the best one to lauch at it given it’s one small exchange in dialogue…

False equivalence, how many dwarves are in the US? Why are we comparing the US and not just taking it at the face value of ‘fantasy world’ where these things have been demonstrated to exist before. How do you know you sample set is large enough to accurately demonstrate the existence of more or fewer trans characters.…

Could just be the character is frank and honest about their name and doesn’t mind explaining the choice? If this occurred in real life would you be so taken aback by the idea? People ask questions and get answers, simply because it doesn’t fit the ‘script’ of what people anticipate doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad.…

Sounds like the excuse they’re using to rage about it being in the game yes. The fact you have to pry about it with inquiries that results in a response (which sometimes happens in real life too), and you’re given a frank and honest answer, resulting in people being SO UNCOMFORTABLE they have to call it ‘politically…

“make something that’s not normal seem normal” — It’s normal to the universe lore, and it’s normal to real life (as per the article).. so you’re implying that your perceptions of reality and what ‘trans’ is, and how ‘unreal’ it is, is what’s not normal? Nice job.

Isn’t the intent to maintain much of the gameplay mechanics and animations as possible while updating the graphics and movement.. It’s a fighting game, and while updates to the gameplay mechanics should be done for the better, it shouldn’t be changed drastically otherwise they risk losing long time players who are…

Hey, that’s a Spyderco knife, I forget the name of the model but I certainly recognize the shape.

Yeah, except for the few places near my house where when you snap them they have stray fraying strands of wood.. Maybe that’s not the case in Japan, but I will do that as soon as I see my wood splinter, and my wife has a fear of ‘splinters’ in her mouth, no idea why, but now I’m aware of when my chopstick wood isn’t…

Probably in shock, usually when something like this happens, it usually doesn’t feel real.. And it’s honestly hard to know how to respond.

The only issue here is lost revenue, and if that replication is damaging to a sale, then it’s a problem.

Yep!

And I did say correlation as opposed to causal (which I’m sure you’re aware, I just wanted to be clear). And with so many factors and very little time to do said work in college, I can’t be certain it amounts to anything beyond a possibility (I personally don’t remember how strong the correlation was or how…

My studies in college on this topic showed that the largest correlation between pirating was 18 to 20-something late high school and college students. It was also vastly higher in poorer regions/countries than well-off one’s (higher per capita income) which saw a steep decline in the pirating of software.

2.5D will always have a special place in my heart.. I think that’s the real charm of it.. The ‘speed’ of those older games though is pretty sluggish.

What about mPCIe slots?
