    Tanoomba's Toxic Tank of Traducement

    Got a bit of catching up to do... Re: The Battlefield trailer: There are at least 2 remarkable hypocrisies at play here. And yes, there will be references to Sarkeesian. 1) How many times have people here shit on Sarkeesian for referencing examples of certain types of content in video games...

    Thank you, Araysar, that was very much appreciated. And thank you @pharmakos for putting yourself at risk to speak out against shady shenanigans. I'm sorry that a_skeleton_03 decided to use this as an excuse to throw ultimatums at you.

    Someone suffering from gender dysphoria is not "lying". Their brains are wired that way, and no amount of treating it like a delusion will make it so.

    Except you didn't address my supposed "misperception" in any way, shape, or form. You didn't disagree with what I said and you didn't offer a counter-point. You just threw a bunch of insults at me (none of which were even based on reality) and basked in your own condescension. That's fine, I put...

    Suit yourself. You sperged out on me with a flurry of personal attacks that had nothing to do with what was being discussed. The politics thread was not the right place for it either, but I had my say so I'm happy.

    I'm not letting them know anything. If they come here by chance and read my posts, great. If they don't, that's fine too. I'm just happy for the opportunity to say certain things that I feel should be said without it becoming a giant train wreck. (We all know people regularly come to check out...

    I've went into this subject in EXQUISITE detail, repeatedly and over long stretches of time. None of the facts have changed since then. The problem isn't that I refuse to admit something, it's that's you still don't understand the point. Whether that's due to a sincere inability to understand or...

    Ha ha holy shit. I'll answer your questions. No, I don't think verbosity "means anything". No, it's not because 90% of my posts are *silly hyperbole*. I have taken a very strong stance, a stance that most users here find extremely objectionable, clearly including you. I am not (not have I ever...

    Tanoomba's Toxic Tank of Traducement

    Sometimes there IS added benefit to the forum by "dragging things down here". When the topic of Sarkeesian comes up again, for example. Or when I am personally attacked and want to defend myself without the entire thread flying into a rage over it. I know there are certain things that fiercely...

    What's that? The guy who trained a pug to do the Nazi salute and respond to "Gas the Jews" didn't end up going to jail? You don't say! His life wasn't ruined, then? Oh, he had to pay a fine? And not only did people pay it for him, but they also paid his legal fees as well as a sizable "bonus"...

    This bothers me more as a former student than as a current teacher. I haven't always enjoyed all the classes I've had to take, but I certainly appreciated being able to prove my worth in them. I'd rather get a shitty mark for a class I know I didn't give a shit about than not do the test and get...

    That's all fine by me. There was no harm caused by me quote-linking people here who had been addressing me, but I don't need to agree with the rules in order to follow them. You'll also notice, I hope, that even though I have been posting in other threads, they haven't been devolving into...

    Echo chamber suck. I don't want to post where everybody already agrees with me. I enjoy challenging people and being challenged. Besides, there wasn't even a problem. Things are fine and calmer on the Tanoomba front than they've ever been. I still don't know why a_skeleton_03 is so rustled.

    Tanoomba's Toxic Tank of Traducement

    I wasn't "getting lazy". The only people I "quote-linked" were people who addressed me DIRECTLY. I wanted to respond to them without bothering others. If they weren't talking to/about me, I didn't quote-link them and they got no alert. However, if you take no issue with me responding to people...

    You know, a_skeleton_03, this thread is actually solving problems. It's serving its intended purpose and nobody seems to take issue with it but you. TWICE this community created a thread for me to spew my unpopular brand of bullshit in, and twice you got super-salty about it for some reason and...

    I'm guessing you mean here, where I scoffed at your hyperbole. I didn't say what you state above was absurd or ridiculous and I didn't say it didn't happen. In fact, as I already clarified then, my issue was how you weaseled the word "evil" in there, taking an otherwise reasonable point and...

    We're talking about how the brain is wired here. You're not going to re-wire the brain by insisting someone's condition is a "delusion". How do we deal with mental illness? We treat it. It turns out that treatment for gender dysphoria involves living as the gender your brain is programmed for...

    The slide was great because it added to your maneuverability and allowed for some new level design elements and Rush was cool because he added more personality to what were previously the fairly generic Items 1, 2 and 3. I hated the introduction of the charge shot, though. Most Mega Man games...

    I never apologized for that. You're thinking of someone else. I think I probably explained it at one point. I don't even think that was necessarily an attack. I bit melodramatic, maybe. A little too "Well, I never!" for my taste, but it's fine. I would consider the fact that the Nazis had guns...

    Retro Game of the Month April 2018: Demon's Crest (SNES)

    Besides opening doors and smashing the occasional background object (like the statues in the first area and the windows in the town area), the headbutt seems to just be useful for the 3 bonus games scattered around the world. They are actually pretty fun once you get a hang of the delay between...

    Retro Game of the Month April 2018: Demon's Crest (SNES)

    Finally got around to playing this yesterday. The strong point is definitely the presentation. Extremely moody and atmospheric, with lots of appropriately Gothic pipe organs. There's heavy use of solid black in foreground, giving everything a dark and somber tone. But despite the overall gloomy...

    Mega Man introduced a great concept (fight bosses to earn their special attacks, use them to find the weak points of other bosses), but it was really Mega Man 2 that polished the formula and got WAY more recognition and fame. Probably didn't hurt that MM2 got a Nintendo Power cover story when...
