I'm sorry Schadenfreudeing but this really isn't the best idea. Think about how people get infections with everyday piercings. Now apply that to a wound in your genitals. Yes some people do it, some people like it, but without a doubt it's not the world's safest procedure and getting one as a means to boost the…

haha, oh man that made my day thank you.

You're right I hadn't considered the not-for-profit portion of this venture. It might actually stand a chance with that mentality driving their decisions. As for the artwork not costing much, it damn well should. Good art takes time, and shit ton of talent. It's worth paying for.

While that's true, a zine generally has a production value befitting the scale of it's niche audience. This seems far more ambitious than that, what with it's professional quality, contracted artwork and it's length of sixty or so pages, which is roughly the scale of a full magazine. That's the part I'm having issue…

Yeah, that's the right of it. Sorry about the mix up.

It's from the extended cannon. The prometheans created the Forerunners and then later created the humans. Near as I understand it, and I could be wrong because it's so easy to get this shit wrong as nebulous as they are, the humans and forerunners either went to war, or were pitted against one another, or in some way…

I think they would technically qualify as tusks, but they are an odd choice.

Well the humans and forerunners were both created by the same species, prometheans. Any time you have a tender race it's easy to assume that their seed races could share similarities. And who knows, maybe the fore runners were created from whatever species would eventually evolve into the brutes.

Possible, but that happened before the adventures in Germany.

That doesn't work. River Song died in her current incarnation back in the David Tennant episode "Silence in the Library". She's locked in her current form, played by Alex Kingston, due to expending her entire line of regenerations to save the Doctor back in pre WW2 Germany.

Ah. Ok so what is it that you weren't a fan of specifically? What parts of the design turned you off? Or was it just the destruction of the mystery itself?

Wait, what forerunners? There was the Librarian and the Didact. What others were there? If you're referring to the knights, those were simply constructs, but I dont think you're making that mistake. Did I personally miss something somewhere in my play through?

Reverence for the Thief series or no, Sneaky Bastards are attempting to produce a product for a niche of a niche audience: people who play stealth games who are also willing to spend money on a paper magazine, which just so happens to be a format undergoing violent death throws. Every mag supported by the major…

Oh yeah I'm not coming down on anyone who wants to hang onto their V-Card, no one should be derided for that decision unless they themselves deride others for not making it as well.

Here's an elaboration. I was a virgin through my twenties. If I could have done something about that, believe me I would have.

As an empathetic human you should be concerned that it's clearly a slow news day, and this job is already so hard, why do you have to go and say things that you know will hurt them?

That might not be the best idea:

Thank you for doing this, because it's hardly tangential. Acknowledging your gifts, taking pride in what you're capable of accomplishing with them, and pushing yourself to see how far they can go is a big part of coming to understand yourself and lose the shame that we all seem to carry like it's an obligation.

Wow that is just... striking. I'm really rather speechless looking at her.

I hate to say this, but it's easier said than done, I've been on this road, trying to walk it my entire adult life. The greatest piece of advice on that journey has been, "Know who you are, and why you think the way you do." Really stop and ask yourself if what you believe is actually a thought you approve of? Have…
