Seconded.

Why couldn’t we get THIS armor in DA:I? I like it so much better than what Cassandra wore, and a million times better than any options for the Fighters. The armor design in that game was just not at all what I was looking for in a classical fantasy game.

Hey, I played a female dwarf rogue specifically to romance Iron Bull.

Wow. Let’s... okay, let’s back this down a bit, shall we? Because I came for the conversation and wound up in a fight somehow. First off, if you read what I wrote as arrogant, I’m sorry I gave that impression. It wasn’t my intent. I was just trying to bring up a reason some people are against GMOs that wasn’t touched…

First, your tone is counterproductive. In the first post I made on the topic, I specified that I wasn’t certain this was the case. I’m out here to learn, just like everybody else. The article didn’t touch on the biggest issue regarding GMOs for me, so I brought it up. If you want people to be open to learning new…

Regardless of whether it is exclusive to them or not, it is a problem that involves GMOs. They are part of that larger thing, and until that problem is resolved they will continue being part. GMOs aren’t a red herring in agricultural patents, as that would suggest that they aren’t patented agriculture - they are. And…

Because not every invention is the same. Because it’s food and food should belong to the public good not a private entity. Because these patents are used to strongarm and destroy people trying to farm without paying these gatekeepers. The ability for farmers to keep their own seeds year to year and reuse what they…

I meant to specify that GMOs are the only food that can be patented, but I wasn’t clear enough about that and spoke too broadly about the general patenting of living things. And while some good rulings have come down involving isolating naturally-ocurring gene sequences and the like, a company creating seeds that are…

There is one problem that is (I believe) unique to GMOs - the ability to copyright life. Nobody should be able to own the exclusive right to a living thing. What’s the end-game? First you own the right to corn, then you ensure people can only use your corn, then become the exclusive gatekeepers of the ability to grow…

I think you’re being overly simplistic. Games are supposed to be fun - playing against a fireball spammer isn’t fun. Losing to one isn’t fun. And I can’t even really imagine that winning that way is fun. How entertaining can it really be to just mash the same three buttons over and over until you win? I’d get bored…

If that was exactly their point, then not only did they not really want to make a Superman movie, they likely don’t ever intend to make one. They had to do Superman for the Justice League so they could cash in on the Marvel mega franchise bank, but they didn’t like Superman much, or really understand him much - but…

This is something I struggle with. I’ve never particularly enjoyed difficult games for the sake of the challenge, but some games I enjoy for other reasons can still be pretty difficult (for me). Fighting games, for instance, are a constant trial. I also tend to set arbitrary (or achievement-based) goals for myself…

Actually, a majority of Americans identify as middle class. THAT is the rub - the poor don’t realize how badly they’ve been kicked down and subjugated, and the rich don’t realize how insanely good they have it. Everybody believes themselves to be “average Americans,” and so the whole twisted downward spiral continues…

It probably will. And it’s unfortunate that the second movie starring Superman is all about how the world hates and fears Superman. That was never his gig, and was never supposed to be. He represents something important, and that’s been thrown under the bus in favor of cheap, shallow “edginess” and dark color filters…

You and I have very different ideas about what constitutes “interesting.”

I don’t like them because A) They’re bad answers and B) The creative decisions that made the answers necessary are all part of the same problem. They display a stunning lack of understanding of what makes and has made DC comics characters so compelling for nearly a century - a seeming shame at what these characters…

Whatever. If it’s the kind of thing you enjoy, enjoy it. More power to you. But there are a lot of us with an idea of what we feel Superman represents, how that makes him different from almost all other superhero characters, and why that’s valuable. Those like us wish we’d have gotten a film franchise that embraced…

Nobody knows what Zod was doing. The only way we know anything at all is because Superman says so. But we have a lot of reason to believe that Superman might be lying. And regardless, Zod was only here (and our planet only in danger) because of Superman in the first place. So to the extent that he saved the planet, he…

It’s an implicit threat. If another country shot down one of our planes, we would see that as an act of aggression. If a single creature shoots down one of our drones and gloats about it while suggesting that he’ll keep using aggression to prevent any attempt to figure out what his deal is, that’s an implied threat.…
