I don't mod my games. 6 minutes ago, Sinon said: I don’t hate it I don't hate it in the main game because it's locked to Land of Challenge and Shulk is specifically designed against to counter it. In Torna, you can't do anything about it. 4 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Well, the problem with it is: it kinda dissuades the player from wanting to use Blade specials (or in Torna's case, also the driver specials) Literally my solution besides removing it would be to just make it so that it can't activate off of Critical Blade Combos. If you do any combo, there's the risk of activating Elemental Awakening but a Critical Combo prevents that. 8 minutes ago, Benice said: Additionally, people like MLK are people with power; even if they're not politicians themselves, they certainly hold great sway over happenings. Yeah like MLK's power was so great, it extended posthumously and led to quick signing of the Civil Rights Act. And while racists and white supremacists still exist in the US today, think about it. MLK was like 50-ish years ago. Civil Rights were passed 50-ish years ago. Considering that the general populace isn't racist and the treatments of African Americans and others has improved in the US in that short amount of time is insane. Racism was so ingrained in the average person's conscience in the 60s and it essentially disappeared overnight. Is there room for improvement? Obviously. Non-whites are still at a disadvantage in a lot of places. But things absolutely changed for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Mr. Zone is voiced by Toru Furuya. As in, the same person who voices Amuro Rey himself. And yes, he legit has a battle quote where he says his Photon Battleship "isn't just for show".

Well, not quite, for the movement was still quite controversial: I think the fact that in major cases like the trial of the Chicago 7 not only included Bobby Seale as a defendant (when he basically had nothing to do with the trial), but also saw him bound and gagged in a court of law says a lot. It certainly helped, but unfortunately, neither the hundreds of individual activists, nor thousands of demonstrators, nor a speaker as powerful as MLK can simply end racism.

"Enlightened despot" perhaps, which... well it's not surprising a country in the 3rd decade of the 1900s would fall into that when all it had before it was the Ottoman Empire. Realistic outcome, and "enlightened" in certain aspects in a certain capacities is better than nothing. But far from perfect. 1 hour ago, Benice said: Aung San Suu Kyi, constantly fighting bravely for democracy in a troubled country. She kinda fell out of her once-immaculate reputation as things went on. IIRC, Suu Kyi did basically nothing to alleviate the Rohingya persecution. The Rohingya being a Muslim minority living in Burma/Myanmar that the Buddhist majority deemed not-Burmese and discriminated against, forcefully expelled, murdered in what some might deem a genocide. One article I had read years ago said the military had basically harmlessly accepted her without truly undermining the existing system -until they overthrew her anyhow. 1 hour ago, Benice said: Ghandi, for obvious reasons He never actually held the reins of government. Peacemonger for independence, but he was assassinated shortly after independence began. Jawaharlal Nehru was India's first Prime Minister, and he was Gandhi's father -Indira Gandhi, who also became PM (and was assassinated). 19 minutes ago, eclipse said: Trust me, it was necessary.

I've played a game to completion that was stated to have been more or less machine translated with a little editing by fans (blame childhood memories, and curiosity about a rare m/m ship option in a DS game). As a matter of last resort, it's tolerable, you might even find a few moments of intended emotional seriousness or humor that click. Yet the edges take you out of the game when they're blatant. Certainly probably undermined the intended charm of some personalities, even if a handful remained surprisingly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah but for real, not only has there always been someone in power since the stone age but this sort of hierarchy has been observed in other species of primates, as well as other animals entirely. Animal heiarchy+human intelligence is honestly an unbeatable combo but this isn't just something we came up with. The first kings (and i mean the first kings) did not wake up one day and go "hmm imma just rule because i feel like it". Realistically, they had to convince a bunch of people that they were fit for the job. Several thousand years of snowballing later and well, we know what happens. I don't believe in complete anarchy, I believe in thinning the lines as much as possible so that no single person can have power over so many people. 2 hours ago, Armagon said: It....took us until like the 1900s for safety building measures to be put in place for anything. Before then, it was "just don't die bro". The ancient Egyptians did get paid for building the pyramids but like people definitely died doing this. Not that people don't die building stuff today but a lot of it is usually preventable. Even in the days of old construction methods, the estimated millions of deaths that occurred during the building of the wall was outrageous and cruel. It is no excuse. 1 hour ago, Benice said: Nelson Mandela ending apartheid peacefully Any number of abolitionist politicians Joaquim Chissano for pulling Mozambique out of civil war and turning it into a democracy Atatürk, for his sweeping reforms that modernized Turkey, greatly improved women's rights, and fostered positive relations with neighbouring countries Ghandi, for obvious reasons Aung San Suu Kyi, constantly fighting bravely for democracy in a troubled country. Jose Ramos-Horta and many others like him who take up the torch for cultural minorities. Tawakkol Karman and many others who fight for women's rights Medha Patkar and many others who fight for the poor Celebrities like Paul Newman who use their platform to help people Environmentalist leaders like Chico Mendes Rigoberta Menchu, advocate for indigenous peoples Youth advocates like Kirthi Jayakumar Authority is a tool for education, administration of goods, and empowerment. While it is often used to cause harm, authority as a whole is not bad; without it, we don't have things like hospitals, schools, transportations, etc.. Additionally, people like MLK are people with power; even if they're not politicians themselves, they certainly hold great sway over happenings. Power builds platforms. You can also see this in a negative light with stuff like the NRA. It's very easy to rue the damage caused by those in power, but what we can do as a society can only be done if we are indeed a society. Yes, YES! Oh it is so good to actually get a list instead of deal with folks dancing around the subject. However legally speaking, many of these people did/do not have power and their ideals and actions came from their impoverished experience. Many of these people were also assassinated, imprisoned, or pushed back in some way by the people who were legally in charge. Many were/are leaders in activism, they have power in the eyes of the people, and as you may recall my problem was power over people, not power in it of itself. And as I've mentioned, I agree society can't function without some kind of structure but surely the lines shouldn't so strict and enforced, even among those few good leaders. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Yeah like MLK's power was so great, it extended posthumously and led to quick signing of the Civil Rights Act.

Non-whites are still at a disadvantage in a lot of places. But things absolutely changed for the better. That is a gross white-washed children's retelling of the conflict. It should not be understated the push back MLK got during his protests from both the government and the racist populous, so much so that he was assassinated on April 4th 1968. He did not end racism, I wouldn't even go as far as to say he largely ended racism, he was one of many Civil Rights activists that help progress be made, but it wasn't such a peaceful and easy-going conflict like we're taught in schools. Modern American schools like MLK's story because it paints the conflict in a very simplistic and patriotic way. Black people and white people had segregated water fountings, MLK said some cool things, the nice and good president listened to him, and then racism was ended forever, end of story. That's also not to mention that his protests were very religious, patriarchal, and not explicitly anti-government, so it's a good story to teach American kids to get the idea that racism is a thing of the past. Fred Hampton and Medgar Evers were much more anti-government and anti-capitalist in their protests, they didn't just believe in racial equality, they believed that the capitalist system should be torn down and were fiercely against any and all imperialism. They of course were both assassinated as well and because of their much more radical ideals, they were safely swept under the rug along with the rest of the Black Panther party. Did they make progress? Absolutely, but it's not as much progress as you seem to believe. It's not that there's "room for improvement" racism is still very much integrated into our society. Black neighborhoods are still among the poorest in the country, they are filled with poverty and gang violence with the rich whites in charge seemingly not in any rush to fix or even do anything.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) On the subject of cats, I remember that stray cat had a... brother? Littermate? They looked too similar I doubted they weren't related. Anyway, that other cat was kinda chased away by the late one (territory dispute, no doubt) and it had been months since I last saw it. Though my mother said she saw him today, actually. I wonder if he might come back to this street now that... well, his relative is gone... On the other hand, since it's very likely the cat was killed, I wouldn't want him to come over and suffer the same fate.
