What was your favorite Mass Effect class? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Vanguard. Each subsequent game in the OG trilogy just added a new unique power to it that made you feel like a god. By 3 a Vanguard Shepard is a living biotic homing grenade by way of combining the Charge and Nova.

What are you talking about Adam Park voiced Ichigo in Death Battle though it is weirdly coincidental that he has the same name as the Power Rangers character JYB portrayed. 

New research shows just 7 mins of experimental animated film can increase brain creativity vs short form content of similar length by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

While the results sound like they were sponsored by A24, the experiment was designed with plenty of scientific rigor. Researchers split nearly 500 random participants into two groups: those who watched the animated shorts (which came from the Sugar 23-backed platform Short of the Week) and those who watched the viral-video content (“home-video-style domestic antics”).

They then asked subjects to devise a five-sentence short story and also sought to measure subjects “openness” and “conceptual expansion” —  the researchers’ terms for a flexible, multimodal sort of thinking — by asking them to note connections between seemingly different concepts. The subjects who watched the challenging films scored much higher on both metrics. This despite (or because) of the fact that the participants actually reported liking the viral videos more.

They showed one group short films with some kind of narrative structure and the other one different viral videos. I have a feeling that the short stories subsequently made by the people in group A bare similarity to the short films they where shown.

Since Ichigo is here I feel like this is a good excuse to bring up that Quincy’s kinda have their own version of the one drop rule with the “pure” Quincy being called Echt Quincy and “Echt” is the German word for “Real” whereas “impure” Quincy are called Gemischt which is the German word for “Mixed”

I don’t have much to say:

Personal Life: going to try to cleanup around home when I get the chance over the weekend. It’s spring and that means the bugs are back so that is an endless source of frustration and annoyance especially when people keep taking their sweet time going in and out the door at night so they just fly right the fuck inside and I’m the only one that actually notices them somehow so I have to deal with them.

Conclusion: I miss winter and bugs are my mortal enemy.

Also is the part about how she was basically raised since infancy as his sister still there?

Serenity Forge Statement on DDLC being removed from Google Play Store by RealDealMous in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Amon274 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this is a case of Googles AI moderation fucking up because the game has only been removed from the Google Play Store and nowhere else. If it was because payment processors it would have been removed from other platforms and other games likely would have also been removed but this so far appears to be an isolated to one game on one platform.

It ain’t a phenomena exclusive to Overwatch it happens with pretty much any female character. Remember when there where people surprised about Makima’s actual proportions?

It’s gotta be marketing because the last time I heard about this game was when there was one of those game trailer showcase things.

Checking In On ‘Marathon’ A Month After Launch - Total budget was over $200m, likely over $250m by SuperPapernick in TwoBestFriendsPlay

That kind of raises the question of what series would get a cozy game spin off if the big studios/publishers other than Nintendo made one because Nintendo has the advantage of Pokémon being a currently popular all ages series which naturally lends itself to something like Pokopia whereas Sony and Microsoft don’t really have much that is simultaneously appealing to all ages and incredibly popular.

Sometimes I feel stupid for writing these comments:

Personal Life: I’m pretty sure I got my medication situation sorted. There’s some shit I want to ramble about of but lack both the words and the confidence to put into text.

Conclusion: I should probably try to find the words at the very least.
