New profile posts

you warned on vivian's talk page that transphobic messages will be removed on sight. i don't disagree and i understand people who find offense in wanton intolerance, but i think a healthier attitude to have towards the comments in this particular case is ridicule, followed by ignorance. having a bunch of kids helplessly screeching through ungodly large paragraphs about something as inconsequential as the way a purple ghost is depicted in a children's game is terribly amusing and should remain in a "hall of shame" kind of thing, similarly to how Bad Webcomics Wiki has a gallery of letters they receive from disgruntled comic authors (except not quite as self-evident).

(obviously any bad faith edits done to the article itself should still be reverted)

I am not talking about BJAODN, by the way. I am talking about an external website which is now defunct, for good reason. I'm not going to say any more on the subject as it's a poor topic for a discussion plastered over the main page of the forums.

Anyway, your perturbed and unnerved feeling at being asked that question is precisely what I was trying to illustrate with how that kind of content hits different depending on how much, how often, and to what degree you are exposed to it. I would say it is inappropriate for the deriving of comedy in this venue, or at least in bad taste.

I also didn't want to cause an argument, just explain why I thought creating a hall of shame was counter-productive. But you seemed very confident that I was wrong and that casual transphobia wasn't such a big deal, so I wanted to get that cleared up.
I think I've now exhausted what I can say on the subject though. I've made my statement, so this is probably it.

My apologies to LGM for having this happen on her profile page.

my "perturbed and unnerved feeling" came because it was an inappropriate question to ask for the purposes of this topic. look at it this way: i say "man, it's so funny when goombas kill Mario" and you follow up with the question of "well, have you ever been in the position of someone affected by murder and genocide on a daily basis?" then, cherry on top, you emit a psychoanalysis on that person when they tell you the question came out of the left field. i don't quite think that's rational.

Do you seriously not understand why I asked you that question?
After you went onto your spiel about how casual abuse is actually always harmless and should be easy to laugh off?

Also, aren't you the guy who invoked Godwin's Law in a thread about Geno just a while ago? I'm not sure you are in the position to judge someone else on what is and is not rational in a conversation. You know, since we're apparently veering into ad hominem territory now.
uh
well

If you had joined two days later, you would have joined exactly on my ten year anniversary.

I'll have been here for 11 years in a few hours.

Pardon me while I go question what time even is anymore.
Is there any heartbreaking losses in The Thousand Year Door?
Only asking because of Bobby and Olivia in Origami King

To answer your question though, there is:
  • Bobbery's wife Scarlett dies but she dies before the events of the game, but we learn about it in a very sad scene in Chapter 5.
  • Bobbery himself seemingly dies peacefully during Chapter 5, but it quickly turns out that he was just sleeping
  • TEC-XX seemingly dies in a very tear-jerking sacrifice after appearing to blow up the X-Naut Fortress but is revealed to have survived in the epilogue
  • Koops seemingly finds his dad's skeleton and mourns him, but this later turns out to be Kolorado's dad and Koops' dad is alive
  • In the ending of Chapter 3, it briefly seems like Jolene had lost her brother Mush forever, but he's shortly revealed to be alive

From all of those points ????? I can say that they wanted to do something sad but didn't have the heart to do it, the only real sad scene was Scarlett
I have Mcafee installed on my computer, but it's been doing something lately that is so evil. It's been sending me false scareware ads saying "Warning! Data breaches of your personal data have been detected on the dark web! Upgrade to Mcafee+ now!". There was even another one that said my data was being SOLD on the dark web and to upgrade Mcafee. This is false advertising! How is Mcafee getting away with this? It makes me so mad. I think this is wrong of them. Why are they using these scare tactics? I have no funds or money to speak of but one of them said my financial data had been breached and that's how I know this is all fake. I don't even have a bank account. These weren't pop up ads on the web either; they were from Mcafee on my computer.

@FizzletheMovieTheatre LOL I can relate; I think I've seen that a couple of times myself. Then we had to renew it again. So annoying! 🤣

The fact about paid antivirus these days is that it's not as necessary as it was, say, 10 years ago. We have more advanced security built right into our devices, and the antivirus companies know that. That's why they use obnoxious, misleading, and sometimes dishonest methods to try to convince people that their device is unsecure without paid antivirus so they'll keep their subscription.

@Doctor Bowser Yeah screw that crap; that is so stupid. I'll talk to my dad to see if there's a better way to do this.

TTYD. Longer campaign, more stuff to do like sidequests and the lottery, a fleshed out story/characters, and lots of postgame content compared to RPG where it's mostly Boss Rematches.
she sells seashells on the seashore, but the value of these shells will fall, due to the laws of supply and demand. no one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand

step 1 - you must create a sense of scarcity. shells will sell much better if people think they're rare, you see. bear with me, take as many shells as you can find and hide 'em on an island. stockpile 'em high until they're rarer than the diamond

step 2 - gotta make the people think they want 'em, really want 'em, really fuckin want 'em. hit 'em like bronson. influencers, product placement, featured prime time entertaiment - if you haven't got a shell, then you're just a fucking waste, man

3 - it's monopoly. invest inside some property, start corporation, make a logo, do it properly 'shells must sell,' that will be your new philosophy. swallow all your morals, they're a poor mans quality

4 - EXPAND. EXPAND. EXPAND. clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hands

5 - why just shells? why limit yourself? she sells sea shells - sell oil as well

6 - guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks. sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock

7 - press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes. then run to be the president of the united states

8 - big smile mate, big wave, that's great. now the truth is overrated, tell lies out the gate

9 - polarize the people, controversy is the game - it don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name

10 - the world is yours, step out on a stage to a round of applause. you're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore - and you sell seashells on the seashore

Statler: What's that noise?
Waldorf: It's the sound of J.R.R. Tolkien turning over in his grave.
