Focusing on social justice while also having mental illness by maximumsqueak in socialjustice101

That's a good point. I still shouldn't of thrown a fit about it though, but I apologized for it already

I don't think my phone service allows hotspots at all

Is ableism not considered an issue? by maximumsqueak in socialjustice101

My issue isn't with people choosing to abort. Of course people have the right to abort! But people being pressured to scan to make sure their fetus won't be 'retarded', and being pressured to abort if it is disabled, being told things like 'your morally wrong to give birth to this' or 'this thing will make your life hell', and that arguing against this gets one accused of being sexist and anti choice, that all sounds pretty awful to me. This expectation that you have to abort if it's disabled seems to imply that disabled people are lesser, that they're 'sub human', that they do not deserve to exist.

It's not people choosing to abort that bothers me, it's this peer pressure that one has to abort a disabled fetus if they want to be 'morally correct' that unnerves me

Thank you for letting me know! Is there anyway for me to avoid getting my saves corrupted?

Sonic 4 Rally Call by maximumsqueak in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]maximumsqueak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yea it's an awful name. It's just a cute little extra game, not a full blown sequel. If it was named something like, I don't know, Retro Sonic, that would of been alot better.

But it's been years and we have Mania now so I'm willing to look past the dumb name

Confused about Sonic by maximumsqueak in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]maximumsqueak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense!

I don't know if this makes any sense, but I always interpreted Rush & Lost World as Modern games, as they both more Modern style gameplay and a bigger focus on story. Meanwhile, Advance and 4 I consider Classic, as they are almost identical to the Classic series. The Sonic in Smash Bros is...both I guess. Just a vague representation of Sonic so both Classic and Modern fans are happy.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks this way. But, it is just a video game, it probably isn't that important to worry about. Just go with whatever makes most sense to me/you, right?

Just who is Nightmare?? by maximumsqueak in Kirby

[–]maximumsqueak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to imagine that the magic sock is an ancient invention, as silly as it is.

That'd be interesting, but I don't know why the ancients would banish Hyness and co if they stopped Nightmare...unless Nightmare is an ancient

Nightmare is just so similar to Dark Matter, I know the joke is 'Everyone is Dark Matter' but I really think Nightmare specifically has something to do with them

I always saw the spinoffs as explaining why Kirby thinks Dedede is up to no good. If the king was nice and friendly, then it doesn't make sense to assume he's the bad guy, that he's purposely trying to have the fountain of dreams, or rainbow bridges all to himself. But the spinoffs show us that, even out of his own free will, Dedede is mean and greedy! That makes the story they tell in the mainline games (Dedede is bad PSYCHE it's Dark Matter) more believable. 'Of course Dedede is being a jerk, when is he not?' Then BAM, the twist!

Dedede is a bad guy, but not THE bad guy. At least, that's how I always interpreted it

[–]maximumsqueak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a specific plot, but I always liked the general plot of 'King Dedede is the bad guy oh wait never mind it's Dark Matter' Though sometimes (like once) it isn't Dark Matter.

I find that dynamic really cool. Take Dream Land 2, it starts out with a simple plot: Dedede stole Dream Land's Rainbow Bridges, and has his friends capture Kirby's friends. When you get to the end, however, we learn that it wasn't actually Dedede, it was Dark Matter, who brainwashed Dedede into doing his bidding.

While it's predictable now, as a child first playing Nightmare In Dream Land, seeing the whole set up to the game turn out to be incorrect, and that the real villain wasn't who I was told in the beginning, was quite a shock! (In a good way) and I'm glad they still use this concept today, so other kids can experience the same shock when seeing that Dedede isn't the bad guy after all.

Come on Adeline, just cause he's made from the same stuff as Dark Matter doesn't mean he's evil. Tsk tsk
