@ThanosReXXX The only problem with that solution is that I'd also need to swap out all the other windows for my prescription too! That might get pretty expensive lol. At least in the long-term, I'll save on glasses and contacts as neither are particularly cheap lol.

@Tyranexx I've got a post order service for my contact lenses, that costs me around 40 bucks a month, all inclusive (lenses, fluids and container).

@ThanosReXXX nah console noise is other people's bag. I'm just on about beeping alarms and servo motors getting hammered

Somehow, I'm really really really glad i entirely missed this "Daddy dating simulator" thread. Really really really glad..... The Pokemon thread where the world was ending because not every Pokemon ever made was going into the game, and no longer can we withstand gamefreaks horrible abuse of their fans and abandonment of an their promises was enough drama for one week. The only thing that could cap off this week of "As the NL Turns" would be an article looking to kotaku about smash being mysogenist. Again.

"As the NL Turns" is crossing over with "All My Children"

It's a T-rated game, so it's probably not as pervy or creepy as you think.

Anyway the comments section there is not all that bad. We just got the regular amount of users saying "I won't play that" and people just calling them out on it. As usual.

It could've been much Much worse tbh.

I mean if you have your standard fare of preteen with water ballon breasts stuff that hetero guys play and say nothing is wrong with it, why not let the hetero women and gay guys have their turn? Personally I was shocked at how mild the screens look in comparison to most the the stuff featuring girls(like i said preteens most of em) I don't think I've seen a promo screenshot yet with a shirtless guy, which would be the equivalent on the flip side. Not my cup of tea either way but I'm happy somebody is leveling the playing field so to speak. Might as well as make thirst equal opportunity. lol.

@NEStalgia Don't forget blinking lights. You really infected me with that, by the way. Yesterday, the yellow light on my Wii U suddenly lit up, and now I'm constantly wondering what the heck it updated. Must be one of my games, because the last system update was already done last week. But I can never find any update info anywhere, or it's just that I don't know where to look.

Luckily, I'm able to let go enough for it not to ruin my sleep...

@RedderRugfish I saw plenty of references to the developers (in the comments section), but that meant nothing to me, because I have no idea who they are, so that completely flew over my head.

@Morpheel True, it isn't nearly as bad as some comments sections have been in the past, but if you, like me, think you're posting a constructive comment, regardless of me not being interested in the game itself, you don't expect to get criticized, but I guess that's the internet for 'ya...

@RedderRugfish Well, don't get me wrong I think it's gross either way. However I know that it is more "acceptable" to objectify (usually underage/teenage) females. As a woman who grew up in such a culture I find it uncomfortable as heck. But it isn't going anywhere short of leaving Earth. It is the weaker path to take, but I sorta hope that now that hetero women are being more blunt about what they want that it will make guys uncomfortable and eventually the practice at least in gaming will fade. (it won't but it was worth me laughing my arse off at all the offended guys during the BOTW segments when the Treehouse women kept stripping Link, when many of the upset folks had just finished talking about the size of one of the member's breasts. Especially considering that she doesn't attempt to show off her cleavage, but you can't hide your size, no matter how many T-shirts and jackets you wear.) Walking a mile another's shoes and all. And before anybody harps about wanting everybody in burkas or parkas that isn't the point I'm making.

And before this derails. That is really all I have to say on it. pervs are gonna perv but at least let it be equal opportunity so that both sides know what it feels like.

I’ll probably end up on some dad dates. My wife likes dialogue tree games, and we have fun with them from time to time. This particular subject matter will be irresistible to her, and to be honest; it will be fun for me to do the voice acting. She likes these kinds of games, Mario Tennis, the swipe games like Kings and Queens, and Voez. I just like playing games with her, as long as she’s having fun, I don’t really care what I’m playing.

@bimmy-lee that is a cool way to look at games.

Edit: Sorry the shouting isn't towards you, Bimmy...I'm about to die waiting on the clock to mooooooove.

WHY IS IT NOT TOMORROW?! NEW PERFUME SINGLE!

Eh... It's not my type of game. It doesn't have Knack, or a single Pikmin in it, so yeah...

@Ryu_Niiyama I don't think that "an eye for an eye" would be the right approach for things like these. It's sad that things like objectification has occurred and still does, to some extent, but turning the tables on it, will only fan the flames, and then the other side will want to get even again, and so on, and so on.

Better to just not give any of it any more attention (especially because that's just what most of them want, and it isn't deserving any), and just let it slowly fade from existence...

@bimmy-lee Heck, now I want to play this game after all!
I'm already imagining all the different voices you'd do: bar fly, wrestler, sports fan, gamer, and so on...

@Ryu_Niiyama anti beat you to the shirtless beefcake screenshot....

Also, scary Audrey DID dress a fair bit more provocatively than the rest of the Nintendo dress code in prior years.... She joined the club... Probably by directive, this year though. Her 2017 rants probably caught her some scrutiny

And, how did i not know about a perfume single?? Your supposed to keep me informed about such things!

bimmy-lee

@Ryu_Niiyama - Thanks! I like playing the weirdos hitting on her in Pub Encounter. It’s really very funny. She’s not totally casual either, she’s great at Ms Pac Man. Can’t wait to check out the new Perfume tune tomorrow now, thanks for the heads up!

Ok I'm not sure what to do exactly. I started taking Lexapro the other week and I finally got a Switch (yay) the only issue is I guess one of the side effects is that my fingers start trembling? In BOTW it's not an issue. But playing MK8 Deluxe is absolute torture because of my index fingers on the l and r buttons. So I'm not really sure what to do now.

I don't like Monster Hunter.

@ThanosReXXX - Haha, that’s exactly where the fun lies. I try a different voice for every character. It gets crazy and confusing. Obviously, these tend to be late weekend night gaming sessions, so I’m usually working with a handicap.

@ThanosReXXX As I said it is the low path. But I'll be very much dead and gone before things actually improve (things improve in one spot, get worse in others or backslide later). So I'll settle for both sides treating each other the same. It doesn't fade. It is pretty integral part of human culture. It might get better, but then you get the backlash and everybody claiming PC and SJW ... without thinking about what they are really saying which is "Why can I just call them the "historically offensive term", I'm not a bigot, those were simpler times." ...which ignores the fact that it was wrong from the start and just because something is socially acceptable doesn't make it right. Ignoring evil thinking doesn't make it go away...it just makes it acceptable. Smaller injustices ALWAYS lead to larger ones. We don't live in a world of peace or truth, we live in a world where the threat of war keeps peace and the threat of backlash keeps truth. If we didn't we wouldn't need police or laws or anything else because people wouldn't dream of being horrible to others and they would ostracize those that are. So short of Vulcans showing up, humanity will not get there. Which is why I find religion hilarious. We don't get along on the same planet, but supposedly if there is a deity we are all supposed to get along in an afterlife? Short of you burning out free will...lolololollololololololol.

Also that being said I personally am a fan of an "eye for an eye" (woo literally) because too many horrible people in this world get away with being horrible. If they won't better themselves then I say they should suffer the methods that they obviously deem fair. I am a Lawful Neutral kinda gal Knight Templar/Samurai ideal only not using religion as my moral code. (I would never do evil, or follow horrible laws but I firmly believe that if you have the "courage " to inflict horror upon others then you should be able to endure and even embrace that horror being done right back to you.) Often the ones that say turn the other cheek are doing the slapping. Actions have consequences, it is only by the mercy of the meek (not weak, meek) that many don't have to pay them. Most don't agree with that which I am aware of.

That being said I really don't want to derail on this today, and you and I can wall text. So I'll respectfully disagree. Perfume single tomorrow. I am in max happiness mode.

@NEStalgia Audrey, that's her name. I just remember the Japanese lady what went on the murder spree. Seriously, everybody else was like "oh let's sneak or look for a weapon" and she was like "BOMB THEM". I feel like her name was Chieko? Best part of the show for me.

I have anti matter on ignore so I would not have seen his screenshot. (I have no issue with him but he drives the English Nerd in me insane. Not a knock against him at all as it's my hang up, and it isn't like I always post perfectly, but I want to correct his grammar sometimes and that is rude... so better to just not see his posts. You can make an OCD joke now.)

...you fly by night Perfume fans have google...besides I tend to sound like the crazy "stan" (Is that correct? I don't know what the kids say now...) once I get going (I'm not but I've cried every time I've seen them in person and I pretty much have no empathy for anything...so that is saying something. ) so I try not to talk about them. Besides no one around me has even heard of them.

@bimmy-lee Haha, well, then you should have the bar fly down pat...

@Ryu_Niiyama Yeah, at my age, I don't think I'll live to see the emergence of enlightenment on the internet either, but we can always hope, right? The world is already gloomy enough as it is, and we need to be able to have some inkling of trust left, otherwise we might as well jump off of that bridge right now.

But to clarify: I'm not saying we should ignore evil thinking. I'm saying we should ignore idiots and extremists in comments sections. If you're going to react to people defending shady stuff in games, then you HAVE to know what you're setting yourself up for.

And that's also what I meant about giving these types attention. It's what they want, so don't give it to them, and if no one is listening to or responding to their trolling, flaming or whatever the heck it is that they're doing, then they'll take their business elsewhere, or at the very least will simply refrain from doing that, if only for the moment.

Personally, I do think social media and the like have really opened the doors even wider, because people that never had a voice, now do, and extremists can turn up the volume all the way to insane, sadly enough. And I'm no defender of misogynous behavior, far from it actually, but the world has also become WAY to sensitive to even the smallest of potentially insulting comment, look or touch.

Back in the day, when I still worked in a really busy call center, we'd look at our female colleagues all the time, and we made jokes about them, and with them, interacted with them and we even dared to touch their arm or any other safe body part when in conversation with them.

Nowadays, if a woman even THINKS we're looking at her the wrong way, it's #metoo and you're pasted all over the internet as a sex offender. No offense, ma'am, but that's ridiculous. That's also the very reason that I don't like or understand either PC or SJW people. The fact that they're given these labels, already tells me that they're extremes of something that in and of itself isn't bad at all, but by these people taking it to the next level, it becomes both annoying and laughable in equal amounts.

All we'd actually really need, is a bit of common sense, and respect, also for each other's tastes and opinions, and not try to (often also aggressively) win the other one over, because we think that our view or opinion is the only one that counts or matters...

As for your comment on religion: no, the bad people go to hell, remember? So, we'll only get to meet the people that are nice, and whom we could agree with. And the lesser idiots will spend some time in purgatory, awaiting a second trial...

But maybe they'd be better served if reincarnation was an actual thing. Let them come back as insects, or dogs: that'll teach them to be a bit more respectful and humble.

P.S.

In the Chit-Chat thread, derailing is impossible, since there is no topic. Although, come to think of it,
I suspect that even in that case, @NEStalgia would still be able to pull it off...

@Ryu_Niiyama yeah Chiko... She's hilarious because she's older than the rest and seems like the "or of touch soccer mom" of the group that just happens to be a professional translator. Then she plays and gets crazy into it. Remember the botw demo with the gravity ball shrine and she's screaming "my babies! My babies!" The whole time?

But Audrey had the "I'll wipe out your entire race" rant Theresa and Kendra had no idea what to do....

Oh boy..... Of all the people that banned anti because they dislike his opinions or approach, and you banned him because of his imperfect English grammar?! . Now THAT really IS CDO

Hey good jpop music info is hard to find. Korea is easy enough to find but Japan is still isolated at least until the Olympics, though I'm kind of not looking forward to how that might change them.
