According to science, finding traces of RNA on a meteorite in space is definite and undeniable proof of life outside of Earth. And they're trying to argue that a developing embryo with a unique genetic makeup and a full set of human chromosomes is nothing more than an agglomeration of cells, like a cancer?

They can't keep their standards straight, and that's why their arguments can never stand up to scrutiny. If they're in favour of murdering babies for the sake of convenience, then they should own up to their own depravity, rather than pretend that a foetus isn't human.

Abortion is, as per the US Constitution, a State-level issue, not a federal one. Roe v. Wade was a mistake, and allowing citizens to vote on the issue is the correct course of action.

Heartgold and Soulsilver allowed fighting the gym leaders again, with much stronger teams. It did a good job at presenting some challenges, keeping things fresh, even without taking the PvP aspect. It also had the fight against Red, that normally requires a team in the high 60 / low 70 range, at least.

I bought and played Dragon Quest 11 for the first time recently.

I would say that Serena qualifies as a submissive and feminine woman.

There's videos of him hanging around and being all buddy-buddy with Obama, though. With Hillary Clinton, too.

I would also extend an olive branch to people who work on planes and ships. Also for some scientists, like biologists, geologists and hydrologists, who might be conducting long term research projects abroad.

I loved Dragon Age: Origins. I played Dragon Age 2 for over a hundred hours, possibly hundreds of hours, even while acknowledging its flaws, althought that was largely due to my interest in trying out playthroughs with various new mods. I even read a couple books about the series. But I never bought or played Inquisition.

I have a mild interest in watching the trainwreck of the franchise that I formerly loved. I'll keep looking at more news about what the 4th game looks like, even knowing that it's something I'll never purchase or play, just because I'm curious to know how bad it's become.

That's not true. They also eat pap.

Considering Yu-Gi-Oh had that mechanic for monsters in defensive position, that must have expired at least 2 decades ago. Unless Yu-Gi-Oh's implementation was different enough that WotC's patent didn't apply.

Sony's mistake was becoming a Californian studio after striking gold.

Let's keep watching the proceedings for a while longer before making a judgment. I haven't played Palworld myself, but I'm glad they're not diverging too far from their roots too quickly.

Meh, didn't work that well, considering that I saw hours ago that you replied to someone else that it was a joke.

I thought it might have been real, since I've seen so many different fan-made pokemon games. A surprising number of them were basically elaborate porn, like Pokemon Ecchi Version or Pokemon Girls Hunter, but others were just re-modeled anthropomorphized retextures, like Moemon, while others went with a way more violent and bloody approach, like Pokemon Uncensored Edition.

So when you mentioned a fan-made spin-off game that would essentially be inspired by 4chan, it didn't seem particularly outlandish to me. I was actually curious about what that might look like.

I just did a Brave search and google search for a game like that, and came up empty. I tried to remove "Pokémon" results, tried to specifically mention the Dokémon names you mentioned, but the only result I got was this very post.

Can you provide a link to something that describes this game? Developer blog, forum post, wiki page, anything?

I disagree. The past several years have proven that when Trump is in the news, more people watch them. It's now peak election season, and it's more relevant than ever to report on Trump. If their strike impedes the New York times from releasing propaganda, then this is going to be a huge loss for them. They will be greatly incentivized to come to the table as soon as possible.

Not to mention, if, God forbids, the democrats cheat another election win and Kamala becomes "President", then the economy will become even worse, very quickly. If they don't make wage increase demands now, when else would they have the opportunity to do so?

And if Republicans are able to counter the voter fraud and Trump wins, then the economy will quickly improve, so having a bad economy now will no longer be a factor. The Times will also start making a lot more profit than they currently do, because they now have years of experience proving that printing 99% negative coverage of Trump generates a lot of traffic. As such, they might not be so concerned about granting their demands, despite the uncertainty of the election results.

Lady Ballers was a bit like this, with the coach's family openly supporting and cheering him for being "progressive" and open-minded with his support of an "all-transgender" basketball team, while he was extremely uncomfortable with the adulation, knowing full well that he was only doing this to win games.

There are a couple fan mashups you can download on the internet of all 3 movies squeezed into a single one, but with all the non-canon scenes removed. I think that the most famous of those is "The Hobbit: The Tolkien Edit". Instead of having an overinflated 9+ hour trilogy filled with ridiculous scenes like a Radagast rabbit-sled chase, asinine and useless love stories and crossdressing, you get a single condensed 4h30 movie. It's a much better experience overall, with the only real downside being sometimes having shortened day-night cycles.

Generations of people raised with the belief that violence is always the wrong approach are making it harder to reach that point, not to mention having nearly half of the population openly supporting the tyranny. However, this is certainly an interesting social experiment to see how far they need to push to reach the breaking point of a majority of people.

I never beat the early Dragon Quest. Which game is she from? The best I could find seems to be a generic, unnamed, female party member in Dragon Quest 3 with the Warrior job.

Free speech. Don't moderate at all. Reply to all reports of "transphobia" by telling them to stop being such fragile snowflakes and to grow up.

Honestly, I'm not sure where the data is from. He didn't specify. But for those interested, he shows a graph at the 2:28 mark.

I think SyntheticMan shows the data about that in his review of the game.

Yep. Similarly, stories about what happened to Jews in concentration camps in nazi Germany, or even to slaves in plantations in the US, are extremely exaggerated. Not everything written in history books is accurate.

Didn't the Chinese people themselves constitute something like 90% of the total sales of this game? So yes, it sold a lot of copies, but most of those were by the target demographic supporting their own countrymen, rather than from international sales.

Not to mention Varys and Littlefinger turning into pathetic morons the moment they ran out of canon content for them. The perfect example of writers being incapable of writing characters smarter than themselves.
