Oh, for fuck's s- I DON'T KNOW. NEITHER DO YOU. It's entirely feasible she was, and it's certainly feasible she wasn't. I've already agreed that the way the school handled it was terrible. The only reason this became an argument is because Chanur's conclusion that she's lying because she...

Hypocritical statement of the day right here, folks.

Being raped isn't having your car broken into. Sulkowicz's annotations explain why she was asking to hang out, even as they both avoided actually hanging out. You've based your conclusion on your first impression that is most definitely NOT the only interpretation of the available information...

Ridas seems upset.

Ah, I see you've decided to emulate the Fanaskin style of claiming I've said something that's not actually backed up by anything I've ever said. Let me clarify: I'm ready and willing to admit I'm wrong about anything I'm proven wrong about. That's more than I can say for most here.

Dude, I'm flattered that you're drawing attention to my past exploits, but at leastlink my quotes to the actual discussion! I've got nothing to hide. The whole Zimmerman episode ended with me being presented with evidence that proved me wrong. I readily admitted to being wrong and never...

Looks to me like they're in Bioshock. Were the original Ghostbusters fuckable? Well, obviously Winston, but out of the main three?

Yeah, I could easily see Kojima going the Kickstarter route to get additional funding for future projects. He could even do another Metal Gear Solid, at least in everything but name ("Mineral Cog Sturdy"?), and this time not be cut short of achieving his true vision. I'm personally looking...

Wow, it's been a while since we had a good old-fashioned Tanoomba dogpile, hasn't it? I will admit I'm a bit disappointed that nobody said anything of any substance in order to try to contradict me in any way, but then again: Tradition is tradition. On to the shooting gallery! Well...

Because it came from someone she trusted and was very close to. Because one often doesn't behave rationally after an emotionally traumatizing experience. Because she might have initially thought she was somehow responsible or should have acted differently. Again, you seem to be stuck on...

How do you figure? Just kidding, you clearly have no clue what you're talking about, bandwagon-jumper.

I thought I had copied it as I read it. Guess I made a mistake. It's a lot more evidence than Chanur's feels-based assessment that Sulkowicz was not acting like a rape victim, you tool.

Why students don?t understand what counts as rape So to start with, even the men don't know what rape is. That's encouraging. The article goes on to say how literal sexual assault (groping without consent) is commonplace enough that those being groped don't want to act on it. It's been...

Check again.Here are multiple rape victims who behaved exactly like Sulkowicz did. Therefore, your claim that was not behaving like a rape victim was false. It really is that simple. If you think the video she made is your "Gotcha!", you're an idiot. For fuck's sake, your reaction to her...

"Non-consensual sex is not rape" -Bisi

You made a grandiose and objectively false claim about how rape victims react to being raped. I showed you evidence of this. Unless you have anything else to add, take being wrong like a man. Living proof that rape culture does, in fact, exist here. You act as though people not actually...

Well, my first degree is from an art school. Turns out students do highly personal projects all the time. I remember one student made a video about her own body issues. It opened with a shot of her undressing and getting into a bathtub, then turned into a stop-motion animation where a picture of...

How many art students do you know who've been raped? That was actually a pretty decent project, by the way.

I'm genuinely curious as to what anybody can find to "passionately hate" about Disgaea. I've been singing its praises for years to Mire and I was psyched to hear the original is finally being released on PC, but he absolutely will never play it because he can't get past the anime aesthetic and...

Edit: Fuck it, one thing at a time.

Well, there aren't really studies about how rape victims behave towards their rapists (although there are some that go into why rape victims don't report being raped right away). However,here's an articlethat explains why rape victims can in some cases not only remain friendly but even remain in...

Ah, so we've come to the root of Disgaea's limited appeal: People don't care how deep, engaging or clever the mechanics of a game are if they have to see cutesy anime gals while they play it. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't even realize PS3 had a bad reputation. I thought the graphics and...

Sure, if you're an idiot. Edit: I'm kidding. ...Or am I?

There is nowhere near enough hard evidence to prove that Cosby raped anybody, so it's irresponsible for people to demand he be put in jail for a crime that can't be proven, regardless of how likely it was that hediddo the crime (in this case,extremelylikely). That's what "innocent until proven...

You didn't mention Disgaea... I hope it slipped your mind?

First Phantasy Star I played was PSIII, which I really liked. Fast forward many years and I buy the port of PSI for GBA. Better late than never, right? Unfortunately, the port suffered from an awful, awful bug: Every time you saved your game there was a random chance the game would freeze up...

Me too. But see, that also applies to accusing people of making false rape accusations.

And yet, the nuttiest comments there are the ones defending Cosby. Conspiracy-level stuff, even. Edit: Also,LOL

Hardly amazing, but certainly passable. I enjoyed it.

I'll second Rezz that FFII should be considered among the worst. Considering the characters in FFI had no personalities whatsoever, FFII should be considered an improvement in that the characters are actually given traits, but they are terrible. The muscle guy speaks beaver, for Christ's sake...

You're confusing "acting like someone who was raped" with "acting how YOU think someone who was raped should act". The way she acted was actually fairly typical of rape victims. They often try to remain cordial, even friendly with the person who raped them. And what you describe as "she hounded...

You're quite the clairvoyant, aren't you?

Now You Can Make Everything Smell Like Cat Head Using This Japanese Spray

Yeah, that's exactly the type of shit I'm trying to avoid. Thanks for the Chocobo advice!

I know I can't speak with authority about post-VII FFs, but VI set a really,reallyhigh standard for RPGs (and, frankly, video games in general), so it's hard for me to imagine another game in the series being the "apex". VII gets a lot of love (and with good reason), but it was still in that...

I did start 9 long ago and quite liked what I played. Guess I'll start with that one. I would have went with 8 to keep things sequential but I've heard so much criticism about it that it seems not worth my time. I'm not planning on playing with a guide, but is there anything I should keep in...

OK, confession time: I played through and cleared all the Final Fantasies up to and including 7, and haven't cleared any of its successors. I'd like to get back in the game (so to speak), so which one should I play through?

So, like, is Mad still going? I haven't seen an issue for sale in ages, but a Google search brings up a lot of apparently recent stuff: When this is pretty much what I remember:

Honestly, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, it's not a good movie and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it could have been much worse. The cameos were pretty fun and it was OK to have on while I played Mario Maker.
