Tips are not automatic, but neither is washing your hands after you take a shit. Maybe you don't do that, either. It's something you are supposed to do. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out where tips are expected. I wouldn't be caught dead not tipping at least 20%, pre-white-trash coupon, even if…

I could have bought a Majora's Mask New 3DS XL. I would have brought it home and treated it like a baby. Maybe I would find a nice case for it, covering up that striking design so no harm would come to it. I'd be hesitant to slip it into a backpack in case my keys or some coins might scratch it. I certainly wouldn't…

Yeah. I've actually been looking to see if there's a way for me to upload my final save data to share with people who just want to play Suiko2, too, but it's pretty low on my priority list. And I think most people who want to play Suikoden 2 can get by alright with just the LP of 1 and not all the little bonus goodies.

Ha! I like that you followed up. Yeah, after replaying it myself I told my roomie not to bother with the first one, just watch/read an LP and use my meticulously completed save data for all the benefits in the second one.

I got Suikoden fairly late in its life, so I was about 16 and had already played other RPGs on the PS1 like FF7, Star Ocean, etc. I did find it pretty generic, too, but I focused on the cute sprites and let myself explore the game's world. Before I knew it, I was hooked on the characters and find the game charming to…

Lord, people are really trying to make the "non-Indian people wearing bindi = awful horrible cultural appropriation!!!" thing happen, aren't they?

I think criticism of the term and its usage is valid, to be frank. There are women out there who proudly call themselves TERFs, and that's the kind of feminism I want nowhere near "my" brand of feminism. If we just blindly ignore the people who use "feminism" as a shield to hide behind and a weapon to attack people…

TBH calling something as mundane as mailing chicks "horrifying" does seem to be "freaking out" at least a little bit. I agree that this guy mailing chicks to his ex, and his ex wanting to throw them in the garbage, is horrifying. Chicks being mailed in general, which is a longstanding practice that has many safeguards…

Is this seriously a post devoted to debunking some anon on 2ch?

Judging from the replies already here I guess I'm fucking crazy for thinking this is a step in the right direction. It's a doll that isn't supposed to be focused on fashion - she's supposed to be played with. While I love stuff like Monster High for its diversity of characters, the dolls themselves are quite delicate.…

Yes.

These are stupid onesies and all but a few things bug me about this whole story.

oh I'm not saying there's legal justification. I'm saying it's an odd name that will get the kid made fun of - and it's not a common given name like the others you mentioned.

Thats kind of a pity. The poor child has to survive that tease-fodder name in his school years now.

they gave her a name that cannot be conjugated in their own language. I wouldn't call that harmless.

Wow, this is appalling. I've never personally run into any of these gifs but given the content of the trolls I have run across I don't doubt they exist. Why couldn't there be a designated space for anonymous contact, leaving the rest of the site safely moderated?

I know I'm gonna sound like a maverick here, but maybe wait until a woman hunts for someone via social media and gets called desperate for doing so and THEN write about how awful it is, instead of doing this weird speculative fiction thing just so you can put a negative spin on a cute happy story.

I would actually argue that Joel saw Ellie more as a replacement daughter, a second chance, rather than loving her for herself and her own strengths. He loves her because of what she represents to him. Joel is a deeply flawed character - some people identified (or at least empathized) with his flaws, other people…

Ah yeah true. She did have a really strong attachment to her as a person though; she definitely didn't just see Ellie as a means to an end.

I felt exactly the same way. Killing the doctors and finally Marlene - who had basically raised Ellie and was making a massive sacrifice, herself - just felt oppressively wrong. In the end you might even feel like you've been conned into playing the real villain. I think I ended the game with a muttered "Man, fuck…
