Yeah, get a 4 oz thing of the 2% and try that, 0% is kinda gross because no fat means no taste so it's just thick yogurt-flavored chalky paste. Normal Greek yogurt is basically healthy sour cream.

Dietary fat is not bad for you!

Transfats are bad for you. I think.

Fat is calorie-dense, so more fat often means more calories, but fat as a source of calories is generally better for you than say, refined sugar or hfcs.

Saturated and trans fats are likely to spike your LDL levels, I think, which increases your risk of arteriosclerosis

Hey! So! A cool friend of mine made this streamlined version of chess on his own in his spare time, etc. It's called REX and it's on Gamejolt for $10.

http://gamejolt.com/games/rex/210076

He made the whole thing and programmed rudimentary AI and then had it up for free on there for testing and a NASA AI programmer/chess AI programmer (Marty Hirsch, https://www.wikiwand.com/en/MChess_Pro ) found it and got in touch with him and was like "Dude, let me help you with the AI" so he worked on it and retooled it basically for free because he wanted to. Anyway, if anyone's interested, it's a cool little indie-as-they-get game.

Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ5RGIh_9t4

i looked up their wiki page a month ago and their games had whittled down to like 3 a year, yakuza, miku, and sonic. which is probably why they're now talking about reviving IPs so that they actually have... games

e: lol they didn't make persona 5 they own atlus that's not really the same

like there was a trailer for this pinball metroidvania game for Switch that's "by Team17" and people went "whoa something other than Worms" and it's like, yeah, Team 17 publishes a ton of games they don't make. they published yooka-laylee for example and overcooked

Nintendo don't own Platinum, Microsoft don't own Insomniac. Sony DO own Sucker Punch, so yes, Sony did make Infamous. It doesn't matter that Sucker Punch isn't called "Sony Studios Bellevue".

Thats the distinction here, does the publisher legally own the studio. Disney own Pixar, Sony own Sucker Punch, and Sega own Atlus.

The distinction of "ownership" is merely who controls the means of production. Assigning value to that is the core shell game and illusion of capitalist thought.

When it comes to the quality of games and their actual characteristics you have to look at who is actually putting the work into the product, whether or not they are independent or the people who give them money changes does not actually mean that much

nah in the beginning pixar was part of lucasfilm, the actual founders before lasseter had no disney time. they did come up with the CAPS system and licensed it to disney which got used in stuff like I believe Oliver & Company and the Lion King used it too

Actually I was wrong, since 1994 Disney has had creative control of Pixar films. So, the entire time they produced features. For some reason I thought like toy story 1 was separate but I guess there's no way a film like that could have existed without Disney money

Walt Disney Animation is not the sole owner of every single function of Disney the company. You may as well say that the Beauty and the Beast remake or Disneyland Tokyo aren't from Disney, because hey, the animation studio didn't have anything to do with either of them.

If you're arguing that then you can't even claim its down to studios like Atlus, you'd need to refer to the actual designers, programmers and writers. Atlus also isn't a person any more than Sega is, its just a corporation that exploits the people it pays and sells off the fruits of their labors.

I think picking something like that as your fursona is just a symptom of the underlying problem, where representing yourself as an animal is no longer enough to make you suitably special. Furries have become too commonplace, there is now a whole pantheon of otherkin dopes who find it very important that everyone know that they identify as a fallen unicorn or a wood fairy or pallet of colors. Being a glass dog means primarily that this person either already owned a glass statue of a dog or saw one and thought it was too cool to ignore, and has a secondary property of letting the person be more unique (better) than other vanilla furries. The man who says "I am a glass dog" finds no equal among the regular hounds and wolves but looks down upon them as if he was further along some expanding mind graph.

Furry culture is the act of legitimizing pretend play as a way to invent qualities for yourself instead of actually developing qualities. I disagree when you say that fursonas are chosen because they represent the furry; fursonas are chose to project qualities, not magnify them. Someone would pick a fox so that other people can immediately know that the person is clever or quick, regardless of the individual's actual qualities. It all boils down to wanting to be special but finding the solution in embracing the imagination instead of the corporeal, and yes I do think all furries are annoying sadbrains thank you for asking.

I'd think that he was just trying to be special and stand out after furries have become more commonplace but nah I remember him talking about how he was a furry and that's been his fursona since the 70s and that back then they weren't called furries, they were called skunkfuckers.

So I guess he might've been trying to make himself stand out regardless, or he may very well just feel like an animate statue of a dog is a good representation of him :shrug:

Of course, I agree with that. However, it is better to be more precise than less when you are attributing causes and effects. There is a strong causal relationship between Katsura Hashino, Naoya Maeda and their teams when it comes to what is in Persona 5. There is a weaker causal relationship between "Atlus" as an entity and Persona 5. There is an even weaker relationship between "Sega" as an entity and what is in Persona 5.

In your Disney example, that is merely a slippage and vagueness of terms because people interchange "Disney", the major multinational media conglomerate, with "Walt Disney Studios", the film distribution entity that most strongly provides it with brand power
