Pranked!
English final today was just a presentation.
Hardest part was having to watch everyone else's presentations instead of leaving early.

I remember one of the best things someone told me about marks in college/university. Never be disappointed with a D, because D = Diploma.
I tend to aim for an above average grade regardless but remember! Always hold bright optimism in your hearts!

My Spanish final was an oral Presentation, since we took the final test on Monday. You either had to make a 3 minute video where you have an entire convo, show the rooms in your house, or show how to cook something entirely in Spanish OR you could be a man and sing a Spanish song in front of the class for 3 minutes.
Absolutely killed it with my Spanish rendition of Mulan's I'll Make a Man out of You, but then I had to watch everyone else who sang utterly embarrass themselves :/

A D was enough where you were? Damn. For me, all degree-related classes had to be C- or higher.
Cs get degrees

Well, I should hopefully be able to pass by doing the extra credit and getting like 75% on the exam I think. I currently have a 3.14 GPA so I really hope the final grade for calc 2 won't hurt me too badly. I know I'll get at least an A- in the 2D game design course and that should help offset it.

VGCs will now be infested with mega rayquaza and primal groudon for the next year, but they still ban melloetta and phione
it's like they decided smogon didn't have enough of a monopoly, so they're trying to make everyone ditch VGCs for OU doubles

iirc They actually do have tests, or at least some sort of big-ass questionnaire.
"MUH CENSURS"just noticed this was trending on my facebook feed lmao
between Xenoblade's removal of the breast slider, SFV altering of Mika's Super start up and Cammy's intro, Toei Kecmo not bringing over DOA3 what the **** ever, and Idea Factory saying that if they have to censor a game in order to bring it to the west, they wont bring it at all.
It is a horrible time to be a fan of weeb video games.
But hey, people's feelings matter more i guess???
despite the fact the the auidence for these weeb games more than likely has little overlap with the people most likely to be outraged (and wouldnt have bought the game anyways)

The only thing that's dumb is the removal of breast sliders. After that everything else is so insignificant that complaining about how "bad" censors are is stupid

It's like the 2010 format, which was really good. It's doubles, so nothing is ever as stupidly overwhelming as it is in singles, hopefully that'll prove true this time.

I like it because now I get to feel slightly less guilty while still being a weeb
being a weeb and a feminist is hard sometimes and by sometimes I mean all the time like "this is problematic af but ya know whatever I can deal with it for a little bit"

#PlayUNIST
Same. I still enjoy sexist weeb ****, but I try my best to at least analyze why it may be seen as problematic and hope that in the future the problematic things dwindle. Which I feel the "censoring" of certain games is the step in the right direction.

and there's still definitely forward-thinking anime that exists
like evangelion and ghost in the shell
to me it doesnt matter that its small things, because its more of a principle and precedent to me.
small things turn into big things.
and while that is a bit of a slippery slope, it also holds truth in reality.
video games are a form of expression and really nothing should be sacred.
everything should be fair game in video games.
as such, there should be nothing about video games to feel guilty about.
because its just a video game.
but really no one should go out of their way to take action to stop a game from being made a certain way. that's just dumb and i cant say people who do that are my favorite types of people.
if you dont like it, dont buy it imo.
speak with your wallet, not with your outrage.
EDIT: this basically also applies to all forms of expression. books, music, movies, tv, games, art, etc.
nothing should be forbidden when it comes to forms of expression.

You can't say Video Games are a form of expression, and then say "it's just a video game." If it's expressing something there's a message, and a lot of these games send a message.
Also, Slippery Slope is a BS argument
video games ARE a form of expression and they ARE just video games in the end.
Expressing yourself doesnt mean there is a message. It just means that you're taking something within you and turning it into something. You can make the most engaging and soul-searching video game in the world
and you can make a video game that strictly about getting a pixel from point a to point b.
they're both valid forms of expressions. but they're still just video games in the end and not every video game actually holds some sort of value outside of the fact that it's a video game.
also with the slippery slope, it generally is a bullcrap arguement, hence why its a fallacy. but the implication with slippery slope is that because A happened it will eventually turn into Z, but that's not always the case because real life is not that black and white.
things DO escalate into bigger things in real life sometimes. but not always as implied in the Slippery slope fallacy. a lot of the time. Lines are made.
basically, things in life are neither always left or right.

oh boy time to talk about eva
1. all of the leading scientists in eva are women, and showing women in power is something not traditionally done and relatively groundbreaking.
2. the only males in positions of power in eva want to use power for their own selfish purposes, consequences be damned.
3. rei, while originally shown as a moebait ****doll is constantly redisplayed during the second half of the show as a real human being with real feelings who hates being used as a toy
4. I could talk about misato for a long time, but in the actual anime kaji is much more presented as an accessory of misato than misato is as an accesorry of kaji. (misato's development as a human who begins to be able to emotionally relate to humans is also a big part of eva)
5. all of the normal sexist tropes in eva are displayed in the beginning only for anno to overturn them later and figuratively yell at the audience for "being so ****ed up"
6. mari does have a bit of fanservice but in reality she thinks that she is using the adults organizations as a way to get what she wants. she's a pretty strong independent female who doesn't really care
7. shinji is gay/bi lmao

It's whatever I'll just buy the original japanese version if the censor is really bad
Like in Blade And Soul, the clothing censor was actually beneficial for the game for me because the uncensored costumes looked really dumb to me, the censored costumes ended up looking more aesthetically pleasing/sexy in the end so it was a good change
But then they decided to completely change the story, like the plot in the original was about your character seeking revenge on what happened to you through murdering everyone, and in the translated version is "you need to save the day and stop the evil force". Like get out of here with that ****
I do think it's kinda lame at how developers over there refuse to release games over here due to having to censor/having to deal with complainers though. Like you're not going to stop anyone who actually wants to play the game, they'll just look up translation anyway
Anyway though how's the GG Xrd port? I know the servers are kinda poop right now but does it perform well?

I think it makes sense. You want your games to appeal to a wider audience. A lot of females feel uncomfortable about the overtly sexual nature of some female video game characters. So you take a few things out, censor a few things and maybe your game can reach wider audiences. The SF community was going to play SFV regardless if there was spank material in it or not, its a win/lose nothing situation for Capcom.
However censoring DoA Volleyball is hilarious. That game is meant for weebs who like to spank it to anime boobs. That's literally the whole point of the game. I'm sure there's some females who like that type of game, but its clearly intended for a straight/bi male audience. Its like watching Backdoor Sluts 9 and being offended that the women are slutty in it, when that's clearly the intent. Its meant for the male audience to view sexually.
In my mind you can take out the sexual things from games that aren't meant to be sexual experiences. But pressuring sexy games, which are essentially pornography, to take out sexual things doesn't make much sense? I don't think just because a man likes to fantasize about overtly sexual and slutty girls means he doesn't respect women, its just a fantasy meant for solo viewing to appease the most basic desires.
TL;DR: Take out sexual stuff from games that aren't mean to be a sexual experience, but don't censor games that are meant to be sexual.

there is nothing inherently wrong with this. publishers/developers are free to do what they want. its their property.
its just that my post was simply talking about the reasons for their choices and my distaste for catering to cultural sensitives.
i'm not a fan of practices like that because in the grand scheme of things, everyone has something they dont like.
EDIT:
who called video games art?
i didnt lol.
