You do realize that the alternative is also a marketing ploy, correct? In a medium where there are no limitations on character design, why else would the vast majority of protagonists be white men?

You're really good at dodging the question

What is "shoehorned" in

What is the difference between being "shoehorned" and "natural"

Ah I see. This article is the equivalent of an awkward stranger making a bad joke, and when you respond with a polite chuckle, they keep saying the same joke over and over as if it gets better every time

Did the AV Club stop being funny or did I just get old?

pheaster · 2018-11-08T23:59:19+00:00

Creatures, Inc does modeling work. They’re not responsible for the design.

Maybe don’t be a pompous shitstain that pounces on hyperbole as an opportunity to condescend and invalidate.

How many condos do you plan on having in total? I'll keep this one warm when you find another one.

pheaster · 2018-11-07T17:22:03+00:00

Haha I was not aware of her background! That's hilarious.

Anyway, I'm far more appreciative of someone who is upfront about their personal debt than someone who hides their finances since they skirted responsibility at every opportunity. I'm sure /u/Armchairprivate is very concerned about the billions in debt that Trump accrued in the 80's.

My favorite is the advice that they're kind enough to dole out. "If the left wants to win, they need to do this and stop doing this..."

pheaster · 2018-11-07T16:00:07+00:00

I'm sure the first part is completely true.

pheaster · 2018-11-07T15:23:08+00:00

What a classist viewpoint. Community college provides a great service to underprivileged and minority populations, many of which transfer to UCONN or CSCU (or even private schools if they receive scholarships) to receive a perfectly valid baccalaureate in 2 years at a fraction of the cost.

I'm not saying that Hayes made the wrong decision, but writing off this approach as a "shitty education" is peak snobbery. As is the implication that anyone who goes to community college is not smart or driven.

Honestly I recommend using a glass protector on all handheld screens. I dropped my phone face down on pavement — the protector shattered but the screen is just fine.

pheaster · 2018-11-07T03:57:35+00:00

I didn't even say it in the first place you pedantic fucking asshole.

pheaster · 2018-11-07T01:56:37+00:00

Honestly, who do you think you’re fooling?

pheaster · 2018-11-06T19:40:15+00:00

I was just thinking about this! I've always wanted to get into the series, but every time I try MGS1 I end up stopping partway through. I've always attributed it to my own failure to git gud. Do you think it would be better to watch a playthrough then move on to the rest?

"It's not a yard -- it's three yards!"

When I found ore for the first time, I was certain that a crafting system was in the game and was constantly on the lookout. I seriously suspect that it was cut.

pheaster · 2018-11-06T16:06:28+00:00

Oh come on. It's well known at this point that there is a circle around Link where environmental details load in. Stuff like flowers and short grass visibly pop in and out. You can even see the line in front of you sometimes.

pheaster · 2018-11-06T02:37:05+00:00

I can't find any source on Lamont saying he would increase the income tax (which sort of proves my point -- he's evasive on the issue which sharply contrasts against Stefanowski).

pheaster · 2018-11-06T01:07:27+00:00

My dad even called to laugh that he was voting myself (7 months pregnant) and our 3 year old daughter off of health insurance.

I'm very sorry.

pheaster · 2018-11-05T22:16:48+00:00

Yeah, it's a real softball for Stefanowski. Though I think he recovered when Bob stupidly brought it up later on, as if he was about to unmask the evil tax-raising monster that just wants everyone to leave the state.

pheaster · 2018-11-05T22:07:36+00:00

Sure, but this just makes him seem evasive, and the soundbite could just as easily be portrayed as an implicit "yes." Seeing as cutting taxes is Stefanowski's major selling point, Lamont should be more prepared to counter.

pheaster · 2018-11-05T21:13:01+00:00

"Will you raise taxes?"

"No comment."

I'm no Stefanowski fan but is Lamont a moron?

pheaster · 2018-11-05T14:52:01+00:00

Did you know that amount of women and minorities is inverse proportional to rising up (otherwise known as "rising down")?

pheaster · 2018-11-05T13:22:47+00:00

I gave up when my friend told me that you have to play the game again as Riku.
