Super Princess Peach isn't part of the main series, and they specified main series like a billion times. Sorry you weren't paying attention? Also yeah, it doesn't count because it's basically "LOL, Women Are So Irrational, Am I Right?: The Video Game".

Orzo posted:I don't follow libertarian politics and know very little about bitcoins but what on earth does being an atheist have to do with associating with awful MRAs or having no fashion sense? There's a "faction" of sorts of atheists called New Atheists online, who try to act like they're just not hiding that they're atheists, but are pretty much stereotypical "I'm an atheist because gently caress YOU MOM YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO TO CHURCH!" atheists who use their atheism as an excuse to be bigots against anyone who's not an upper-middle class or higher white male. Most normal atheists\humanists\agnostics\etc hate them, but they're so obnoxious and loud they've become one of the major voices of atheism. They're basically the atheist equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church.

You know what would be fun? Convincing people you know with questionable artistic talents to start a Kickstarter/IndieGoGo and seeing how much they make. I might give it a shot later.

Because anime monster titties. They don't need to have a playable game for it to sell to a good chunk of their support base, and the more idiotic and obscure the mechanics are the more the people wanking to it can go "Well obviously the game is just too deep for you".

What? That's loving stupid Orzo. Some people show passion by working on one thing very hard, some people show passion by working on multiple projects, and societal pressures tend to(a phrase Hyzenth highlighted multiple times) pressure women and men into showing their passion in different ways. I'm a dude, and currently a history student and not comp sci, but I show my passion by looking very hard into specific things. For instance last semester I did a research paper on the integration of Muslims and Islam into Chinese society up through the Ming dynasty. I spent as much, if not more time researching it than people with much broader topics, but just because I only focused on that one specific topic doesn't mean I was less passionate. You seem to look at the breadth of someones work as the only way to judge someone's passion, but depth is also a valid way. Speaking in more CSish terms, is someone who who writes one extremely optimized, thoroughly documented, well tested program less passionate than someone who writes three technically working but hacked together programs? Of course not.

They know that tape with Atheist shows up later/less often than tape with nothing, but there are so many uncontrolled variables that that's practically meaningless. It doesn't show discrimination against them specifically at all. The terrible control groups don't just make it a bad experiment, they make it a worthless one.

It was done by the kind of person who would wear shoes that say "I'm an atheist" on the sole, AKA weirdos who care WAY too much about everyone knowing they're an atheist.

Young Freud posted:Not unless you're famous for something. I dunno, I know lots of people with close to 1000, and the only reason I'm under 500 is because I choose to keep it pruned to that size. Hell, one of my musician friends who does horror punk and self publishes all his albums has almost 3k friends, and I'd hardly call an indie horror punk solo act "famous".

ArcaneTree posted:It's #3 on top sellers That seems crazy until you realize that the Top Sellers list is based on revenue and not number of copies. 1 sale of PA would be equal to 1.5 sales of a new $60 AAA game, 3 of a $30 game, 9 of a $10 game, so on and so on.

So not only does the guy have the money, he's no longer obligated to fulfill anything he promised since they took the official page down, and along with it any sort of official communication that would come with it. Now that's the kind of Kickstarter Chicken I'd like to play You say that like him taking $16k from MRA shitheads then never giving them anything in return is a bad thing.

Bronies and creepers who think sexual content is perfectly okay for young children have a large overlap.

Bloodnose posted:For a guy whose claim to fame is having a webcomic so lazy it's literally the exact same, completely unaltered images every day with MSPaint dialog changes, I would never expect him to follow through on those ridiculous promises. It sounds lazy at first, but reusing the same art while keeping the writing fresh and funny has to become a challenge after the first few dozen, let alone the two and half thousand he's done over the past decade.

 So they say it holds 8 kg of weight, but show it holding 2 1.25 kg weights? Last time I checked, 2*1.25 is 2.5, not 8. A Fancy 400 lbs has a new favorite as of 03:09 on Jul 3, 2013 |

Yeah, seriously. Colorists are a thing for comics because of some restrictions of the medium(extremely short turn around times, maintaining consistency in visual identity across multiple artists on a single title, different printing processes/paper types handling colors differently, etc), but you really shouldn't need one for a VN.

miguelito posted:So reading that woman's pitch, it seems to be a common thing for a certain type of Americans to clamber over that mountain in Turkey searching for Noah's Ark. You learn something new every day I guess. Surely the mountain is well-mapped and she'll be shown around by local guides, right? Yeah. There's Biblical Archaeology which is just archaeology focused on sites mentioned in the Torah/Bible/Koran but doesn't take the religious texts to be 100% accurate and instead looks to find the origin of the stories told by the Abrahamic religious texts, and then there's "Biblical Archaeology" which is just fundies running around trusting really historically untrustworthy texts as gospel and when they don't find what they're looking for insist we just haven't looked hard enough. The former is actually kind of interesting, but this is firmly in the latter camp.

Yeah, the difference between Canonical and, say, OUYA is that Canonical has a decade of successful work behind it on one of the most popular Linux distributions in the world with literally millions of users(Wikipedia says ~20 million), along with other important open source software. Canonical isn't some no name company, they're actually experienced and extremely well known among the tech community. Disclaimer: This post was posted from a computer running Ubuntu.

OatmealRaisin posted:It's actually already a mod in the Starcraft 2 arcade. Even got featured once! I couldn't tell you how good it is though, I tried it once and the controls were super clunky. I'm guessing just because you can use an RTS toolkit to make non-RTS games doesn't mean they'll work very well. Try telling that to people who play Dota-clones though and they'll flip their poo poo on you.
