100% agree with your message, but just for clarity's sake I believe you meant "the intolerant will eventually 'seize'" as in take, like a seizure of assets. Cease is putting an end to something.

Normally I wouldn't bother to correct someone, but the irony of the mistake is that it contradicts your intended message by saying that if you tolerate intolerance, it will cease to exist.

Nah, I'm a little bitch when it comes to pain. So if true, I'm definitely at the worst end of the bell curve.

They have some greatest hits too, like repeating that higher education tends to come with a left leaning bias. I don't think they realize why there is a correlation between education and those politics, but it certainly isn't what they think it is.

The MTX items are in game, the rumour that you can't fast travel and stuff blatantly false.

Capcom did some scummy shit, but the reason they(the press) didn't know is because even now post release the game makes no mention of them.

The limited travel, resurrections, and the currency for pawns were all in the first game and they all feel just as common in my experience.

So fuck Capcom, but the game does deserve the reviews it got imo. However, they also deserve all the backlash they are getting, because they intentionally kept it quiet. They knew players would be upset. It's gross.

I don't know when the last time you checked is, but I don't think it's funny that as early as 1996 Microsoft was successfully sued for nearly 100m for abusing workers as "permatemps". That isn't counting their practices of forcing their staff to work extreme hours, avoiding to pay benefits, and just doing just about anything they could to avoid giving their employees a way of "making bank".

"In 1996, a class action lawsuit was brought against Microsoft representing thousands of current and former employees that had been classified as temporary and freelance. The monetary value of the suit was determined by how much the misclassified employees could have made if they had been correctly classified and been able to participate in Microsoft's employee stock purchase plan. The case was decided on the basis that the temporary employees had had their jobs defined by Microsoft, worked alongside regular employees doing the same work, and worked for long terms (years, in many cases)."

Surprised there wasn't something like this in Borderlands. This thing is perfect for the firearm absurdity in the series.

I think you could benefit from having this explained.

"Leopard Eating People's Faces Party refers to a parody of regretful voters who vote for cruel and unjust policies (and politicians) and are then surprised when their own lives become worse as a result. It has been commonly used to parody regretful Brexit and Trump voters."

It has nothing to do with Caitlin's actual face and it is a perfect example of what type of content is relevant here.

No, they aren't. DLC is an expansion upon the content. The best case scenario for mtx that do not affect gameplay are cosmetic only.

If a game in any way has anything else than cosmetic mtx, the game is worse.

"But you don't have to buy it!" Is how I often see them defended, the subtext being that, if I don't buy them it doesn't affect my experience.

Here is the secret, games with mtx are designed to have problems and they sell you the solution. They are designed WORSE intentionally, so you will spend money to bypass the inconveniences. Often your time.

A perfect example is something like long standing games selling boosts to max level. They're aware the old content is dead, and they're aware the only people playing it are the people who don't want to spend money. Why don't they fix that?

The answer is they did, they decided that inconvenience was acceptable in their game in order to convince the player to spend money.

MTX is not content, often it's used to bypass content or save time. DLC is content. DLC often expands upon the experience of the game. MTX worsens the experience of the game just buy existing. Dlc doesn't change your experience if you don't purchase or use it. MTX changes the game at a base level no matter if you spend money or not.

I need sound while I sleep, my wife doesn't. So I have a headband that has Bluetooth headphones in it specifically for sleeping. It's pretty comfortable and I get to snooze to whatever I want. Before that I had some low profile buds that I used, but the band is much more comfortable.

I don't eat meat and haven't for a long time, the last few years I've been vegetarian.

There was a period of time I ate vegan. I still practice some things to this day, trying to eat less processed foods, sourcing things from as humane of a source as possible and that means not just animals, but also people. That's a part of being vegan, if it exploits anything, you avoid it.

It's hard, especially living in a country that has only partially embraced it. You try and live outside that norm, outside of a big city, and sourcing what you want and at a reasonable price is a pain in the ass.

Now to my point, I never felt so much animosity as when I mentioned being vegan. People would ask me what is wrong with me, I would often get lectured on how my perceptions on the meat industry is wrong, and told how I was harming my body by not getting enough protein.

I'm not here to preach my stances.

However, that animosity wasn't just from people with typical diets. What stopped me at first was the reputation vegans had. I didn't want to be associated with that at the time, while I believe things need to change I'm also against shoving my views on someone. Eventually, I met some vegans and they were the opposite of what I heard, I asked about what they do and how they eat, and I tried it.

When I eat with someone new, and I say I'm vegetarian the response is almost always positive, except those who like to try and belittle my manhood because I don't eat meat.

However, what really affected my view towards veganism and why I eventually started saying I eat plant based was because of that scrutiny. People felt so nosy and judgemental. Then I decided maybe I should seek like minded people.

I checked out vegan subreddits, looked for other vegans to meet irl and pretty often when i would mention I'm vegan but I'm against lecturing, I would get the most vile responses. I still remember a time on Reddit that I said exactly that and was harassed by a lot of accounts telling me I was worse for the vegan movement than meat eaters because I wasn't actively pushing my beliefs. So I started to feel isolated, when I would be around some people they would say "oh you're still vegan?" And when I eventually went back to being vegetarian I still sometimes hear "I knew it wouldn't last" or sometimes flamed for the exact kind of view I'm posting now by individuals who may still think I'm a problem.

This is a long winded way of saying, I could have guessed the results of that study and I'm not surprised. I think one of the biggest enemies of the movement is themselves in my experience, and it makes me sad because I really do wish it would catch on more. I wish I didn't sometimes feel like I have to hide my diet, and I wish people wouldn't put so much value on a damn food packaging label.

I suppose the irony of trying to make it less lGbtq and instead making it lgbTq goes unnoticed by the bigoted creator?

If you're into gaming I would suggest

• NoClip (video game documentarians about modern video games)
• video game history hour (general video game history done by the video game history foundation)
• insert credit ( almost game show style, the hosts have only a few minutes to answer all kinds of questions about games, the gaming industry, or even opinions.)

Otherwise I really enjoy

• behind the bastards ( kind of like deep dives into shitty people of the world and what makes them tick)
• cautionary tales ( true stories about disasters, humon error, and catastrophies )
• 99 percent invisible (weekly episodes on all kinds of deep dives into things that often go without notice in our lives, the most recent episode covers the history of album art for example)
