While I see your point, "The word trope has also come to be used for describing commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices,[2] motifs or clichés in creative works." (shitty wikipedia search result) "A significant or recurrent theme; a motif" (oxford dictionary) I can only apologise for...

That's more a problem with how time is shown - in game 20 seconds is what, 2-4 days?

I can't find the thread but tl;dr RPG mechanics in a shooter = typically bad result. Any FPSRPG that lets you shoot an NPC in the face 30 times without them dying is utterly broken.

well they fit neatly together. it's much less an issue of feminism being in other fields of discussion (see: de Beauvoir) as it can meld in perfectly reasonably and with a great contribution to make (especially considering that when religious discussions are near, morality is but a step away)...

This thread has basically become a parallel to black metal purism.

2 > NV If we had NV with the gameplay of 2, or at least the gameplay of NV tweaked to the point where a headshot has the same weight as the originals, and where the PC is just as weak as the NPCs, then it'd be the best of them all. 2 with its plot, gameplay and world (random encounters...

In order to fix the first-person shooting, they'd need to add much more weight to the gun-play, and if I know Fallout fans at all, that'd make the game cripplingly difficult and the weapon spread would have to be ridiculous. Which I'm fine with. Others wouldn't be. While I don't consider the...

I find that it's less often "freedom" that is abused*, and more "democracy". Without wishing to go into that dude who quotes people like a tosser-mode, F.A. Hayek said it thus: *as I feel that it, as a word, a concept, a philosophy, should be made evident and only really in difficult question...

One might think that we as a species would have gotten over the left-right reductionism by now but apparently even people on here can't distinguish between economic matters and ones concerning individual freedom.

I would say that the most logical music that would exist in the Fallout universe is primitive industrial/noise. When no materials are available that are needed to make tensioned strings, etc, one first makes drums, uses vocals, and then makes simple flutes out of hollow tree stems and uses metal...

you know that authoritarianism is also ideological, right? like there are PLENTY of people who love equality, fairness, sometimes multiculturalism etc and think that the best way to do that is to stifle freedom of speech and instigate it all through governmental doctrine. Then there are the...

9 and 10/10s as the average. The cultural bar is so low that even an ant couldn't limbo dance under it.

I can sympathise with ideas of not being an asshole, having cultural + historical awareness, just generally not using people oppressed for centuries as puppets in a game of Look How Edgy I Can Be, and other things I won't go into for the sake of brevity. I'm with leftism up until it becomes...

Eh, I read that particular mass email to be extremely "tip-toey" around the issue, some might argue a little passive aggressive. How the faculty + others use it is where real problems may arise - the actual content is little more than "h-hey guys, can you like, not p-please dress up like a Red...

You'd be surprised what you can get away with over here.

tbh just looking at that original email that was mass-sent to Yale students and the response it received, the row seems to be more the result of unapologetic racists, socially blind ultra-libertarians and culturally-authoritarian leftists all strawmanning at each other; the origin point of the...

apparently he's talking in London in a few days time not interested but hey, I get all sorts of things in my inbox.
