I think you’re conflating reasonable gun restrictions with a complete denial of rights, and I’m sorry that you’re unwilling to have a rational debate about this without resorting to extreme statements.

Fine, I’ll backtrack on that. I’m not saying it’s impossible for an armed civilian to stop an active shooter situation. I simply haven’t seen the evidence to support the assertion that it happens more often than shootings do. However, statistics do show that countries with stricter gun control have less gun violence…

Arguing with our friends and family, and getting called insane for thinking that maybe restricting who can get guns—and what kind you civilians can buy—would prevent these things from happening. While the rest of them shout about how guns are necessary to prevent things like this, despite that there are hardly any…

No worries. It’s hard to gauge text-based communication.

I’ve been using adaptive brightness since the original Moto X. I’m not sure that’s a new feature, because that phone ran stock Android, if I remember correctly. Plus, I used it on my Nexus 6P and Pixel XL before I got Android Pie. I also remember having the ability to mute notifications, but it might have been buried…

There are ways of estimating the sizes of maps in games using real world measurements, though. It’s not as if these are arbitrary calculations. I’m not theorizing about the map, I’m using calculations others have made to roughly guess if this world is big enough to include the new kingdom and the old in some way or…

You win. Congratulations.

I knew that already.

I knew most of that, except for the english translation part.

What I was mentioning were estimations based on real world measurements. Obviously, it doesn’t fit one to one. In that case, neither of us are right with regards to the size of the map.

I guess it could, but it would be strange for the first two mentions to mean the games with “skyward” and “time” in the title, then make a vague mention of “twilight” and really mean the Dark World from A Link to the Past.

Skyward Sword’s ocean could be the one mentioned, as could Majora’s Mask. And both of those games…

I think it’s a convergence of the two timelines that split from when Link defeats Ganon in Ocarina of Time. During Link’s knighting in Breath of the Wild, Zelda states, “Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight…” This clearly puts the game in a timeline where those games took…

Malibu D.Va!

I agree. I’ve played my 3DS sparsely over the past two years. It’s pretty much just a Pokémon machine for me. Even then, I’m finding it really difficult to finish Ultra Moon, now that I finally got myself a Switch last month. This is coming from someone who has played at least one version of every Pokémon generation an…

I mean, fandom comes from fan, which comes from fanatic. So, yeah...that’s exactly what fandom is. You just have to remember that the average gamer probably isn’t a fan, despite it being common nomenclature to describe someone who simply enjoys something. The original term was meant to describe someone with excessive…

I don’t give a damn what they say. I didn’t hear anyone say “ness” or “sness” until I was in college at 23 years old. It was one guy in our intro game development course, and everyone else cringed each time he said it. I’m 31, and I still hear people say “N.E.S.”, “Nintendo”, “Super N.E.S.”, and “Super Nintendo” more…

I can’t have a debate with you, if you aren’t willing to listen. I’m a white man. I’ve held many of the same views that you mentioned. None of the data matches up with those views. White people are not, in any sense of the word, a minority group. As a group, white folks still hold more power than any other ethnic…

Non-hispanic white folks still make up 62% of the population, and that’s not going to drop drastically anytime soon. When white folks do become a racial minority, people who actually understand majority/minority socio-political dynamics will likely be on the side of not oppressing white folks. It’s the people who…

What’s sad is that this hypocrite will probably never have the epiphany that black folks don’t deserve to get shot for petty crimes, as she cries about getting punched for grabbing a protest sign.

Saying Happy Holidays is objectively more inclusive, and it doesn’t mean that people who say Merry Christmas aren’t inclusive people. It literally just means that Happy Holidays covers more territory. Say Merry Christmas all you want, but when I say Happy Holidays back, don’t get all pissy. This is a stupid argument…

Fast and Furious is guilty pleasure. Infinity War was a good movie. I’ve seen it twice, and both times I was able to lose myself enough in the narrative to forget that The Snap isn’t permanent. I don’t see how you could think that it’s only enjoyable.
