Damn. Yeah. Wow. You sure showed me. I’m so #offended right now I don’t even know what to do.

This article is extremely disingenuous. That's not what censorship is.
I'm not really sure. In earnest my emotional responses are generally pretty extreme. I have a generally positive outlook, but if I'm hit, it feels hard. My responses feel relatively consistent, though. And that might simply come from the relative infrequency with which I try to tap this part of myself. Like I said… Read more
In a way, it is. The best way I can frame it now, though, is that I deal with it on a different level. I think of the violent media more as a portal to access a hidden part of myself so that I can engage with my past. Does that make sense?
You are correct, but as I understood what my counselors said, the link is a bit more complicated than violent media makes you have more violent thoughts. Since I approach these things with remorse, I'm continually reinforcing my negative perception of violence, rather than a positive one.
That was one of my points. Anyone can be pushed into violence, and at least in my experience, with care and compassion from others, anyone can come back.
I want to physically manifest this concept and marry it.
Like... the more I think about it, the more it HAS TO BE HEAT. The Empire's made some dumb choices, but they aren't dumb enough to leave themselves totally vulnerable. This was considered such a big problem for the Death Star II they gave the thing three hyper matter reactors. Two for JUST THE LASER and one to make… Read more
Quick note to folks saying that there aren't humans in Star Wars: Leia, Luke, Han, Lando etc. are confirmed to be humans. Like... Human humans. They aren't aliens. The main takeaway here is that the Star Wars Universe is really weird. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Human
I did all of that research actually and I'm still pretty well convinced that the power isn't the limiting factor — it's heat dissipation. If you read through the technician's manual, you'll see that when the death star fires ALL OTHER SYSTEMS are shut down. Now, if that's an issue of power than the space station could… Read more
"If you love games they don't care about your age, race, etc." That's just flat not true. Anyone who has faced online harassment can back that up.
I don't see why not.
There's a lot of people... that play together... online. Seems like it's the definition of massively-multiplayer online game.
Yeah, salaried competitors does seem to be the way to go.
Nope, I included it. In my notes though I left on the Final Fantasy 4 bit, so I forgot to put it in with the "sequels to the main games" paragraph. Almost got me ;)
They are. I thought about not including them, but then I saw when they were re-released in 1996 they were again called Final Fantasy. I realize that the inclusion is open to interpretation though.
Nichijou is one of a handful of anime that I actually like. It's perfect.
It's sooooo great.
Right. We changed a lot of point values like making ancient races even more expensive because we've noticed players just trying to build up points so they can have one.
God those tunes still get stuck in my head.
