Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Champ Gold]

I have a feeling Eggman will be portrayed by an actor. Since he's a human and movies nowadays have to have at least one big name attached to it. The question is, who could be a good Eggman?

Mike Pollack.

Just have him in Makeup and a suit as Eggman.
You just can't have him NOT be Eggman

 

[Schnee117]

But is there some other way to earn money? Like, through quests? Or even monster drops
Also, is there a Collectipedia or whatever it was called like in Xenoblade?

You best get to that probing and BLADE Mission board then.
Also look for an NPC called Kirsty. She'll give you missions to do with probes and give you more types.

And yes there's a Collectopedia.

 

[Deleted member]

Research Probes. They give you money after a while. You need to know how to do this or they don't give you a Skell

Is Shroob banned or was the Magearna pic simply NSFW?

It was a joke about fisting robots, it had a hand in some gears.

 

[Curious Villager]

Dutch people aren't too fond of foreigners these days, ESPECIALLY with the immigrant problem

I suppose I can understand since the Netherlands is one of the smaller countries and all I believe.

The current immigration problem most likely isn't helping indeed I can imagine....

 

[Chrono.]

Why am I not surprised Magiana has already fallen prey to the darker side of the internet.

A safety reminder to everyone:

no

The mod who edited this made it much more hilarious than intended.

That could work, actually.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Do we have any Jewish users?

Maybe they can weigh in on this.

And then Mark Rutte said we need to support as many refugees as we can, even the ones whining that our food isn't spicy enough or how they aren't given free televisions. Doesn't help he gave Greece 16 million euros after he said Greece wouldn't get a single cent from us. The Dutch Government cares more about other countries than the Dutch

 

[Opossum]

Isn't Luco Jewish?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Isn't Luco Jewish?

Great and mighty @Luco who is better than me at Smash.

Please grant us your wisdom on this issue.

I see. I think a similar case is going on in Scotland or somewhere in the UK in regards to the former.

 

[Ivander]

So, in Xenoblade X
Should I keep(for a sidequest or somthing) collectibles and materials or sell them?
Also, going the Samurai route because GIANT BLADES BOYZ

Keep them. You always keep them in case you get a quest that requires them. Also, you use them for the Collectible book to get goodies and such. But yeah, always keep them.

 

[ChikoLad]

Or it could be regionally dependent, like how saying gypsy is fine in the US, but apparently a big no-no in Europe.

Can confirm.

In Ireland at least, the Traveler Community are a pretty big deal (for better or for worse), and have specific parks and areas in the country where a lot of them go to park their caravans and what not. And a "member of the Traveler Community" is an officially recognised status by the government in Ireland. For example, if you are applying for social welfare in Ireland, you would have to state whether or not you are a member of the Traveler Community and would have specialised questions to answer for that kind of situation on your application form.

There is a big thing about members of the Traveler Community being discriminated against in all kinds of settings. Irish Travelers have a stigma of being troublemakers, for example. So in schools, if an incident happens in a classroom, and the teachers don't see for certain who it is, but there is a Traveler child in the classroom, then the teachers could end up assuming the Traveler child was the cause of it, even if he wasn't. Which is obviously unfair, and discrimination like this is a legitimate problem for Travelers.

As such, there are various insulting slang terms thrown at Travelers. "Traveler" is the socially acceptable, inoffensive term you use if you absolutely need to make the distinction, but in itself shouldn't be used unless you HAVE to, and you generally shouldn't assume someone is a Traveler and ask if they are (unless it's for professional purposes, like the aforementioned scenario of applying for social welfare), but they will tell you instead if it's relevant. As far as outright offensive terms go though, "gypsy" is one that's used here, but the two more well known ones are "knacker" and "pikey".

As for why they would be discriminated against, the discrimination comes from a few things:

-Some travelers having caused legitimate problems in some communities, like dumping, stealing, and violence, have given all of them a bad name.
-They have a very distinct accent that's specific to them, so it's easy to make fun of them by imitating it.
-Tend to have an untidy appearance due to their lifestyle, which makes them identifiable, and it turns a lot of people off from them. Even their faces tend to look rough.
-They have a tendency to be loud and very outspoken. Again, a by-product of their lifestyle. They spend a lot of their time outdoors.

There's more to it than that but the discrimination more or less comes from the fact that Travelers legitimately live a very different lifestyle to the average Irish person, so I guess people must feel alienated from it. And generally, a run in with one bad traveler is enough for people to assume all of them are like that.

Another big point of contention is that some of them do arranged marriages and what not, still. This is because there is a surplus of females in the Traveler Community.

You had been given a warning before. It's your fault for not seeing the signs.

 

[Frostwraith]

As human beings, we're all born with stupidity genes. Even the most intelligent individual, a genius in fact, has their moments of stupid. Paradoxical, yet intriguing.

(And I'm feeling so exhausted today, I've had to drink coffee, which isn't usual for me. I don't think I'll be on here for long tonight...)

The butler seems more interested in what Birdie is wearing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Burruni]

I gotchu:

NOW I JUST NEED BLANKA WHOSE NAME I GOT MIXED UP BECAUSE I AM RUNNING ON LOW SLEEP OR SOMETHING

 

[Pazzo.]

Do we have any Jewish users?

Maybe they can weigh in on this.

It's never a good sign when this is at the top of the page.

Anyway, I'm not Jewish, but I have a close friend who is. Both Jew and Jewish are acceptable to him.

I'll go disappear into the aether for a few hours so this gets buried behind a few pages.

Seriously guys Overwatch looks ****ing amazing. I'm so happy the Pay to Win model seems to not even be an option so I can at least be hyped for this game instead of waiting for the inevitable BS to be uannounced. If only I could PLAY THE DAMN THING. BS will probably still happen anyway.

Overwatch: Potentially something to make Valve realize 'OH **** WE AREN'T THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH THIS KIND OF GAME!'
Bu loves FE so she probably played Tellius

As long as it ends up being successful enough for Valve to realise they still need to put out a proper update instead of more ****ing contracts and ridiculous balancing *coughPhlogistinatorcough*

If I were you I wouldn't take those pills. That doctor also seems strange..

Incredibly enough, one of the side effects is social awkwardness. Alas, there is no French word for "awkward" so I cannot let the doctor know about it. :/

He's a ****ing quack. It's supposed to cure that **** but it's a side effect. Had the exact same thing happen. 'Take these for your anger issues' It only got worse till I stopped taking them

Hi I'm here. After last night though I think I may need to find a new social thread. Likely not leaving the thread but I need a new group to talk to along with this one.

Any reccomendations for relatively calm social threads?

I have not spent money on TF2 since I bought it so half the **** they've released has meant nothing to me. At least we get new maps every once in a while.

Also lol phlog. That buff will always confuse me.

It must be really awkward to try and explain awkwardness then



Jeez I am EXTRA snarky today >_>

Only social threads I know of are the smash 4 social and the character socials. No idea about their quality other than the smash 4 social occasionally being dank meme territory.

And if you do decide to leave. . .good luck out there.

 

[Schnee117]

Now it got nerfed into oblivion. Esp with MvM.
Losing the "Restore to max health" really hurts there.

I don't believe there is such a thread, at least from my experience. And I've been in all sorts of corners of the internet.
I always had Smashboards as a side place since I joined but it wasn't until around Lucas/Ryu/Roy reveal that I visited frequently until eventually this became the main place because it's awesome.

 

[_Sheik]

I need to actually go past the second turn of the prologue of FE4. It's not hard, I was just waiting for a friend to start playing the game before she told me she wouldn't before a long time.
