Mr Phillby posted:It was never meant to be a simulation at all that's just where the concept came from my dude. Nobody's arguing there aren't hosed up implications or that nintendo haven't tried to mitigate said implications. 'That would work' in the sense that it's connection to bug catching and fighting would be obvious then and there'd be little reason to criticize it, but it's not because expanding the pokemon far beyond bugs changes to connotations massively. Roth posted:The real laughable think about McIntosh's post on Pokemon is how he says it would be better if it was just collecting. This is a really bad attempt at an own.

In summary,Tired Moritz posted:do you not understand the concept of metaphors The answer was "no". Speaking of Lindsay Ellis, I just watched her Rent video and I wish she would do something for Hamilton. I really liked the point that theater is a medium of the bourgeois and thus creates an inherent disconnect between it and themes of oppression/social upheaval as a result, and would like more thoughts about that. Edit: Are there any good channels for food science?

The thing I’ll always remember about Hamilton is the cast politely asking Pence not to trample their rights while framing the act as brave and politically transgressive because they did it during the show (because it transgressed decorum and standards of professionalism that emphasize the comfort of the audience). The English theater was once so political it got shut down, then censored. And a writer of comedies was considered so politically dangerous that he was forbidden by act of parliament from writing any more plays and the plays of his successor at his theater had soldiers stationed on the stage ready to shoot the audience in case there was a riot.

Leal posted:LGR talking about the Seasons expansion for Sims 4 It seems like with Seasons that The Sims 4 is finally at a point where it can stand by itself as a competent entry alongside the other three. Which is why it's super understandable at the end of the review when he says there's rumors of a few more years of Sims 4 expansions coming because I feel like going into a potential Sims 5 and starting all over again would be the worst idea possible. The Sims seems like a series that would benefit from not trying to make a numbered entry start over from scratch(?) every time which means things like seasons and vampires and poo poo that's already available to put in your Sims 3 game will take anywhere from one to almost four years to appear in 4.

KayTee posted:I dunno what this is. But in an attempt to be more hipster I don't know wether to ask the same question of Monster Rancher or Jade Cocoon. Shin Megami Tesnsei is an Atlus RPG series that's been going on since the NES (Just called Megami Tensei.) Originally based off a Japanese novel called Digital Devil Saga. They usually take place in modern day Tokyo after the apocalypse. You fight demons, but also can talk to them, and recruit them. To make stronger demons, you are encouraged to fuse them together. It's often described as "Satanic Pokemon." But unlike Pokemon, the demons are meant to be disposable and not party members you are supposed to get attached to. The demons also take inspiration from every major religious pantheon. There's a boatload of sequels and spinoffs. The Person series is the most notable spinoff, more popular than SMT itself these days.

I remember, and I thought this was funny, in King Lear near the end of the play Cordelia comes over to England with a French army to try and overthrow the unjust rule of her sisters and their followers. Since it's a tragedy of course noble Cordelia's army is defeated and she is captured, but part of the reason that she's defeated is because it would have been unthinkable in the 16th and 17th century for a playwright to portray England losing against the French.

A bug is, informally, any kind of small insect, arachnid, and sometimes crustacean. Formally, it is a specific order of insects. It's like how nobody gives a poo poo that strawberries are not even berries.

When someone says "bug" informally they aren't referring to the formal biological definition Just like when someone says "normal" informally they don't mean "perpendicular to" even if that's the formal mathematical definition Think of them as homonyms if that helps; homonyms don't have to have definitions in different semantic categories

KayTee posted:But you don't know what Jade Cocoon is tho, right? It's one of my favorite PS1 games and it's pretty unethical, really. You enslave forest creatures and force them to battle to the death in your stead. Then when you get tired of them, you hand them over to your girlfriend who merges them together in unholy rituals against the whims of nature. Funny enough the whole game's story is about how nature is just loving pissed off with people are trying to finally kill them for good by sending hell bugs out from the forests to just kill them already.
