Ori and the Blind Forest is a real tear-jerker.

Heavy Rain really punched me in the gut… I was afraid to play that game with my parents nearby. It's basically a parental-trauma in the first 20 minutes or so.

Dante in DMC…

I would lick that all over.

Kentucky Route Zero

Which is an altogether lovely game… but too damn slow.

@raphjd:

SO, generalizations are good, as long as it's liberals making them against conservatives.

your head.

Any ass clown that thinks that wearing their granny's clip on earrings makes them trans, is a fucking idiot.    The same goes with so many other things we've been seeing the last 10+ years.

What the fuck do transtrenders have to do with this topic?

@raphjd:

What does that have to do with you violating 2 of the rules you love to report?

Why make this personal by only pointing out one user, not only that, but you're using information acquired as a moderator to make snide remarks towards one user. That's some mighty bad etiquette, on all fronts.

But let's make this political, because by way of the original post, all it takes for a thread to exist, is some political buzzwords.

"That's just typical behaviour of American conservatives."

@raphjd:

I think you purposely ignored this comment;

The right pretends to be in favor of free speech, when in reality, they have always been against it.

No I didn't because that statement is nowhere near the same ballpark as the statement you made, which is incendiary to the max. If you wanted to make a counter-statement against that one, you could have brought up proof, for instance bringing up gamergate, an internet movement against narratives that has been quite heavily censored by left0wing media outlets. To which the original poster would then post proof stating that various conservative media-outlets have done the exact same thing, concerning gay rights or gay news, and have always managed to whip up a moral panic.

But the statement "liberals are all scum" is something that is not, in any shape or way, something that will lead to a productive conversation about anything. It's like saying: "conservatives are all pedophiles." Which will rustle your jimmies, making you post something about how liberals in some other place were caught being pedophiles, or some shit like that. Escalating the situation further, and turning the whole conversation into a poisonous dumpster-fire.

So yes, I purposely ignored one comment, because that comment could lead to an actual discussion, where your comment only leads to widening the gap between two sides.

@raphjd:

I have nothing to do with modern liberals because they are all scum.

What was that about finding common ground, or having an equal debate, or any debate? All liberals are scum is a generalization. It's non-productive.

The adding of brown and black to the flag is stupid. The rainbow flag represents everyone, because none of the colours of the rainbow represents race.

Hot pink Sex
Red         Life
Orange Healing
Yellow Sunlight
Green Nature
Turquoise Magic/Art
Indigo Serenity
Violet Spirit

On top of that, by adding race, it excludes and no longer includes. There is no brown and there is no black in the rainbow (and no white either)

@royalcrown89:

This thread is severely misleading because that act wasn't introduced into Congress until after the "covfefe" mess. #45 posted the tweet on May 31, 2017 and the act was introduced on June 12, 2017. So, you're arguing that the president tweeted about something that did not exist at the time?

And listen to the silence… so Raphjd... care to comment? Something about idiots?

@raphjd:

Massive homophobe Gov Chris Christie vetoes a law banning child marriage.

And thus Chris Christie slipped into the deepest darkest pits of obscurity come next election round.

This should be political suicide.

That should stop, immediately.

What is does is further isolate a group from general society. It might seem small, but it can spiral out of control when other factors come into play. When you start to deal with problems "off the book" and use a second set of rules, you foster an environment in which the law of the land is something that concerns dealing with "others" and in this case, those "others" are society in general, the dominant culture of the country you reside in. Reside in, because by isolating yourself as a group - following a second set of laws, you are making it clear that you're not part of that country, not really at least. You help foster a divide between two cultures.

Despite what you might say, it doesn't help anyone integrate into society, when you use a culturally inspired lawbook to deal with problems instead of the laws that govern the country… and yes, that goes for trivial shit like family matters. As a group, when you do that shit, you are making yourself the "other" and you should suck it up when you get treated as the "other", because that's what you clearly want to be. That's how you want to be treated, as a seperate group, as a group that isn't part of the overal community. You want to be different, congratulations, that's the bed you made, don't complain when it comes back to bite you in the ass.

Breath of the Wild

@raphjd:

The difference though is that liberals down vote anything their enemies say, not matter the topic or what is said.   They do this while hiding in the shadows.

Hell, liberals down voted their own for condemning the violence on both sides.

RoyalCrown got down voted for supporting free speech.

I'm not a liberal, but I know of some people, so-called conservatives, who've been downvoting me as if their lives depended on it. Face it, tiger, your "side" is no better than the side you are accusing of a certain type of behaviour.

I have had sex with pornstars…

... it wasn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would be, before doing it. They tended to be a bit arrogant and lazy, but the sex did have an "anything goes"-vibe. It's fun... but it isn't world-shattering.

Still, sex is like pizza, it's always tasty.

Drinking mother's milk at a later age is actually unhealthy, I'd advise against drinking it as an adult.

Don't do it, water is healthy, but too much of it can lead to water-poisoning, on top of that risk, you're depriving your body of essential nutrients.

After having to wait 26 years, Twin Peaks is finally back for a 3rd season.

I haven't seen it yet, but I've been hearing incredibly good reviews for the show.

It's apparently a show that makes for some hilarious memes, as it's easy mixing them up with drag-queens, at least if I have to go by my facebook feed.

So is anyone watching this?

Right now, I think the highest quality SF on air is the Expanse, which people have mentioned. Dark Matter is fun, but a bit more like an updated version of classic TV-scifi, same goes for KillJoys, it feels a bit like a throwback to the 90s and early 2000s. They're decent shows, but the Expanse has them beat as far as budget goes.

Twin Peaks made a comeback… sort of kind of science fiction if you squint real hard...

If you want the classics which you don't:

Farscape

Australian/American mix, it's got comedy, it's got weird aliens, MUPPETS, and it's got a smoking hot main character in Crichton. (Those leather pants.... ooooooh those leather pants)

Babylon 5

You'll have to bite through the shoddy 90s cgi and acting, but the story is amazing!

Kyrandia 2: The Hand of Fate

A pretty unknown fantasy adventure game, its fun, it's quirky, it's part of a trilogy.

Journey.

A breath-taking game, you basically just walk through a desert, hoping to reach your destination. There is no talking in Journey, and there is no fighting. You walk and jump, and you let out a single tone…

It seems like its nothing... but dear jesus, I was heavily invested on an emotional level by the time I reached the end.
