Nah you got it wrong.

Then you’ve completed misinterpreted what I’ve been talking about. Would you like me to clarify? Or are you over this?

Hey whether or not you want to listen ain’t something I can control. I know exactly what I’m trying to say, it’s just not so much a cohesive argument as much as it is talking points when people attack my character or tell me to shut up. The best thing we can be doing is having a conversation about this.

I definitely isn’t healthy. And I think you’re right about the prevalence in terms of less so. But normal? I still think it’s everywhere and people just don’t notice it unless it’s them or a loved one.

The fact remains I can say fuck all I want, I’m not victim blaming or saying anything racist or inciting violence, hell you and I even agree on the overall outcome of her telling her story, that it’s positive. I read the story. There are pieces there that do read really badly. There are also large chunks of it that…

No. I will not. Because talking about these things is neccisary for progress. The conversation is the only thing that develops the nuance of cultural growth and development. I never denied abuse is abuse, what I will question is whether some people stopped and thought about the varrying degrees of abuse issued out ,…

Thats cuz the world is horrible. You think your Aunt Suzy and Auncle Jeb didnt have a relationship just like this in the 70s? You can bet your rose colored goggles they did. TONS of people did. This is all symptoms of the failure of us as a culture to teach consent and emotional stability until 2017. The question you…

Emotionally manipulated sexual abuse. One that worked because it preyed upon her fear of him leaving. Thats how like every teenage in the 90s lost their virginity and how most couples from the 80s had sex lives. Its fucked up, but i gaurentee you everyone of us knows tons of couples who have had the same one sided…

Then ive been in horrifically abusive relationships, because non of this seems less than shitty relationships. Guilt tripping and emotional manipulation into sex? That fits like 80% of relationships of people older than 30.

Really? Cuz this reads like one of the more “you were a shitty person in our relationship” to me than most of the “this person methodically abused me through years of our career relationship” than any of the others.

I would call it a sequel as much as any of the assassins creed 2 sequels, or majoras mask, or any of the 2d doom games, hell even a chunk of call of duty games with the reuse of engines and assets, but with new systems, changes to the movement engines, and ways to play. You really dont want to use the word sequel then…

“I would call this a port just like SIV to Ultra Street Fighter IV is a port, it has a lot of new characters and some gameplay tweaks but it’s still a port with the same core to it.” thats not a port. youre using a colloquialism in a context outside of its original use to make a point.  

This is a different gameplay experience than 4. The gameplay is being reported as significantly faster, and has enough significant differences to completely switch up the roster and character dynamic across the game. So what? It needs a new campaign mode to not be a port? Game companies use the same movement and…

Only the base of the game is the same. Fighting games do this all the time.

Theres definitely some smoke and mirrors in this scene. Only time will tell how much.

My house is Houston fans, which is a mix of crushing disappointments and super hype streaks. But we also ALWAYS watch the dragons games, because were praying for that big W for them. Just not against outlaws.

Im the type of DM that loves ambiguous choices. Letting my players argue it out for 45 minutes is both hilarious and gives me a break to do some more planning.

So, if i have Shadow of War, but was waiting to play it till the July update, would this be a fun way to play the game before actually playing the game, or would it spoil a whole bunch of plot, rely on systems and i hadnt learned, and not really be a functional experience?

As another Norse buff, yes absolutely yes. There’s no other adaptations like it. The way it approaches Norse mythology is thoughtful and deep and makes me beg for more. Gameplay aside.

You dont even know the meanings of the words you’re saying any more do you? The cognitive dissonance is staggering. Im talking about fantasy nerds who tout one series over another unnecessarily, either for the perceived bias the article is talking about or for the other reasons i mention. And youre accusing me of…
