neutral route i was like ok id rather be playing earthbound right now, but the final boss kind of made up for it
passive route when you start learning about that twist about the save files it really surprised me and the lab was a dark turn
but due to being in passive route none of it was that dark
the ending was gurren lagann on steroids, the flower turning into a goat or whatever and then your heart refusing to give out was really cool
genocide was the only route i felt that everything was building up to and that sans fight was ****ing cool and the battle music slowing down was ****ing cool and getting possessed by an evil incarnation of a past child was ****ing cool
this game holds your hand too much
music is solid af
gets a walrus score of play earthbound and watch gurren lagann

"play earthbound and watch ____" could be a sufficient score for most games tbh
a women's tournament is not inherently messed up for getting people to come play, it's how other competitive games see it fit enough to basically never address itself internally because "hey, they have their own tournament, why do we care?"
it's not as if you can justify inequality in skill, because while they can absolutely vary, they're still entirely equal as a whole, and if dissimilar-yet-equal matchups are enough to justify segregation like this tends to end up, then I guess we should all be prepared for fox dittos until the heat death of the universe

However, biological studies seem to suggest that males innately prefer, indeed specialize at, thing-oriented occupations or hobbies, and violent competitions. Most video games, with their complex systems and physics calculations, are more thing-oriented, less people-oriented, and have more to do with violent competition than alternative hobbies.
Again, this does not necessarily follow. If the word 'should' is taken literally--as in we are morally obligated--one would have to explain why we'd be morally obligated to get the smaller group out there or encourage them in this endeavor before making the assertion that we should do so.

Idk about earthbound but mother 3 was really boring to play imo. I think that the bullet hell combat thing was engaging and the story was good enough 67% of the time. But yeah watch TTGL

Shes a teenager you pervert. And she is in a catatonic state.
Just read the last 3 pages. I'm a bit afraid, but aroused at the same time. A fear-boner if you will.
Maybe it's just the Potstickers in Orange Sauce I made a sec ago.
Also I kinda hate some of the anime translations for a few people in OPM. Mumen Rider = License-less Rider in the manga. That's a MUCH better name, gives you a very clear idea about the character. I'm assuming the Anime translations are more direct but still
Feel like they changed Pri-Pri Prisoner and a few others (although PP Prisoner and some manga translations could have been off to begin with I guess).

I prefer mumen rider, it keeps the actual pun intact whereas "license-less rider" doesn't really give away the parody-reference it is

I think instead of asking men whether or not there should be a women only tournament is silly.
We should be asking women if they want a women only tournament, if they believe it would help them get into the community more, then it IS beneficial. If they think its condescending, then it isn't what we need.
I'm in support of whatever the women choose, the biggest hurdle this scene needs to overcome is its gender inequality. We have a very, very diverse group of men, but next to no women. Its about growing the scene duuuuuuuude.

Please no let's not do this, any of this. I am a Smash Brothers Tournament Player. I come to tournaments to play Smash with Filthy Dudes, and I try very desperately to keep the Spaghetti IN the pockets. How am I going to be able to enjoy tournaments in the future if I have to deal with Spaghetti falling out around all these Girls?
Frankly, I identify as Mom's Spaghetti and these ideas for adding Women to the scene are triggering me

I'm totally fine with getting Women on board with Smash. I'm not sure Women Only tournaments are the best way to promote this: it implies there's some difference that is being addressed by having them separate (Like some Physical sports with Women and Men separated due to obvious human physiological differences)
I'm not a Female but sure, ask or poll the ladies. Frankly if I had to guess, most would prefer an option along the lines of "Current mixed scene events, but made more friendly / more inviting / address any sexism or problems upfront"

A large factor for the inequality existing in the first place is that no matter how passionate about this sort of hobby they are, few girls want to go to cringeworthy, smelly, and sweaty sausagefests, and understandably so. Not all events/tournaments are like that, but enough are that I cannot really blame them for being uninterested. We should be glad that gaming communities are not truly devoid of the fairer sex and make a point of addressing the reasons for them being leery of it all in the first place, not be mad that many of them have completely justifiable reasons for wanting zero part of them in the first place.

Just watched Ghost in the Shell (the movie from 1995).
Also watched like 10 eps Kaiji today. ****s good yo, but whenever there's a portrait-like shot I still can stop wondering where those foreheads are going.
It was pretty cool I guess. Very pleasing aesthetically. I don't really know what to think on other fronts, since the movie was so unique in so many ways, though that may just be ignorance and not enough exposure on my part. I didn't really like how little it delved into the characters, but that may have been the point in some ways? Them being "dolls" and the "what constitutes a human really" thing. Still, I would've liked some more motives and reasons and stuff. Or maybe they were there and I just didn't have the time to notice and think about them as the movie proceeded at a pretty quick pace, apart from the few breathers in there, and it all required a lot of attention? The film was also a bit lacking in having a real beginning, development and ending. Would I have enjoyed it more had I read the manga/ watched more than 2 episodes of Stand Alone Complex? It seemed to expect some knowledge from the audience (how am I supposed to know diving should be scary for a cyborg?).
It is clear the world and the way it realizes itself was the whole point, but you still need some feeling in it and make me care about the events more to make it truly interesting. I'm still just a human, y'know. It did do the world/society-building thing really well for an 80 minute movie though. On the other hand, a part of me can't help but feel that it's a bit outdated, not just as a movie, but a sci-fi, and I don't mean the few wrong guesses the author made regarding the development of technology, but the way people are in its society. It didn't feel that brain-shatteringly different from what I feel they're like now. Then again, maybe I've just already seen and thought about stuff like that from other sci-fi stuff, even though I'm not really into the genre. I wonder how revolutionary/mind blowing the flick was in its day.
The movie does deserve massive props for being very believable, apart from the fusing thing in the end. Also the lack of music is choice I didn't really like this time, even though sometimes it can work wonders.
A good movie and worth the watch, but I wouldn't recommend it all that much to people that aren't into the genre. Also my little brother said he liked it. Did I accidentally create a scifi-nerd or something? Probably not, but we'll see.

Oh god Kaiji. Some of the Author's faces and drawings are insane/weird. I don't remember how far I got into the Manga, decently far least to say. Same with Akagi (dif manga by same guy). Akagi harder to follow though, wouldn't be surprised of Kaiji is his most popular work

ghost in the shell is the best movie ever created but it took me at least four watches (two of which were while high) to really appreciate it
eideeiit
this video might help explain some of it a little better (note: spoilers)
also: some ramblings about why ghost in the shell is the best movie ever

okay so first of all the movie is incredibly visually impressive. Not just simple special effects, because there are really none, given that it was made in 1995 before the subsequent generation of bad cgi ruined everything. it's visually impressive simply because the shot composition and juxtaposition, as well as the detail that has gone into drawing the scenes and the shading and the motion and the perspective and everything else is just so incredibly fine-tuned and well-done. This is where watching it high helped me appreciate it, during the 3 minute long scenery interlude I just became giddy and overwhelmed due to the visceral sense of BEING THERE in the scene, feeling the rain and the puddles underneath. not to mention that this level of detail and juxtaposition of action within scenery takes place constantly throughout the movie, in every major scene, not just that interlude, all with the same level of detail
and don't even get me started on the visual imagery and all the metaphors that permeate every single scene and how self-referential and incredibly complex the movie is
while the plot of the movie is similar to your basic cyberpunk fare, that's not really the point. the main part of the plot deals with the concept of sentience and computers being living beings in their own right. the plot is enjoyable and raises some important questions about the nature and future of existence, but those questions themselves are merely a vehicle for the message and theme of the film, which the video I linked touches on. That's not to say that the plot isn't important, however, as the interesting and enjoyable plot often left me awestruck in itself and especially when coupled with the visuals, which made the whole movie that much more entertaining and high-quality.
and finally the soundtrack. the soundtrack is also one of the best movie soundtracks I've heard and is the only movie soundtrack that I actually listen to as a cohesive album unit. The music lends itself very well to the plot and visuals, and as you mentioned, the usage of silence or background noise in conjunction with the soundtrack is also impressive and produces the incredible atmospheric quality of the movie.
and finally, there's the empathetic and emotional tale that's also subtly placed throughout the movie. on the surface, it appears to be solely about visuals and ideas, but it's one of the most emotional movies I've seen once you rewatch it a few times, and especially focus on why Batou does certain things, which most of the time are due to his fear for or desire to protect Kusanagi, while kusanagi herself is undergoing intense turmoil throughout the film.
tldr: I laughed, I cried, it's really good, watch it again or five more times.

What else do you think the hand holding scene in the beginning was for?
I also think the game was designed to be simple enough for most people to beat as the only non hand holding portions of the game are in the genocide section and learning bosses patterns.
Hell some of the puzzles solve themselves if you fail them enough.
I'd agree with that. The other routes didn't have build up but was more focused on the player enjoying a laugh at some bad jokes for the most part.
Outside of genocide which boss fight did you like the best?

I'm watching Arrow and the terrible aim of people shooting at main characters is getting really ridiculous. Is this the first time anyone has held a gun in their lives? At least the Flash has an excuse; he moves faster than bullets.

Would the best female MMA fighters be able to keep a fairly even score with the best male MMA fighters?
I really doubt they would and would like insight as to why. Please, change my perspective.

Bruh, watching Star Wars Ep. 7 was fun...but I was the only guy of like 200 people in the screening-room that was peeved beyond comfort that the stormtrooper will/have never done anything significantly damaging to a group of 2 youngun's, an aged Han Solo, and a wookie running through small-ass corridors. I guess Kylo Ren's too busy destroying his own equipment in an emo hissyfit to be the antagonist of the moment.

Arrow has too many problems for me to keep watching. I thought Season 2 just sucked, so I stopped watching. Season 1 is alright if you pretend the rest of the show doesn't exist after that. Flash Season 1 was better than Arrow Season 1, so I'll just keep watching that when it comes out on Netflix.
The whole "bad guys have bad aim" is vaguely forgivable because superheroes and in the case of stealthy characters, but they end up pushing it to such absurd lengths where he's not even trying to hide and just like "oh if I hop over this little fence here the 40 bullets coming at me can't hit!"
I think he missed the point of my post. Hosting Female Only events, I think, would suggest or imply to a lot of people that we made the events with the mentality of "Well they are Girls, they aren't equal in Smash Skill so let's have these events so they can 'compete'". If you're trying to promote an all-inclusive environment, separating people into a different event seems counter-intuitive.
I also don't think hosting Female Only events would address most possible root causes. Like you host a Girl's Only bracket one week, next week they come back to a "regular" event with guys who are still sexist, creepy, gross, etc. Hosting those events wouldn't be tackling any issues like that, wouldn't fix the enviornment, etc.
MMA and contact sports are kind of an unfair example, because many blatantly separate people into weight classes regardless (with the mentality that extra weight/muscle gives an advantage vs leaner fighters past certain thresholds).
Some sports, men are expected to hold a physical advantage in based on average height, weight, limb reach, muscle mass / body fat proportions, etc. Whether it's fair or desirable to separate Genders in those sports because of those expected advantages (or vise versa: sports/activities Women are expected to have an advantage in) is something my original post doesn't care about. The fact that current sports and activities often make these distinctions/assumptions with separate events, then having us running a separate event in Smash, would carry over the advantage presumption.
I dunno if that presumption is true or fair for other things, but I'd say on face value that it should not be true for Smash. Which was the whole point of my post you dingus
