I reconnected with a kid who used to pick on me a lot in high school and he was a mess - gained a ton of weight, diagnosed with bipolar, unemployed for years. Now we are good friends, and fortunately for him, he is getting his life back on track.

Funny enough he used to pick on me for liking anime and then he ended up accompanying me to see the Miku concert! 

I got teased a lot but that's what happens when you are short, skinny, nerdy and a year younger than everyone else in your class. I don't think many of the teasers amounted to anything though and I'm certainly in a much better spot than them...

Total opposite for me, 90's crpgs I really want to like but they are sooooo clunky (I did manage to play through Planescape and some of the Ultimas though). Modern day western rpgs/crpgs (aren't they the same thing?) suck whatever was interesting out of the older ones, though they are definitely a lot less rough around the edges. Japan continues to hold it down on the RPG front though, so much more diversity in terms of settings and game systems. Lots of great releases forthcoming this gen too.

Just got Armored Core Verdict Day, mecha RPG action with weaboo amounts of customization 

The Japanese are way better at making RPG's personally. Would rather play FFXIII than any Dragon Age game. Best part of Origins is getting your dog ass ugly character to fuck everyone in the camp just about. Even tried fucking the granny with big tits but she wasn't down to fuck.

[tiesto]

The stuff the Japanese excel at are just in general more preferable to me than the stuff westerners excel at - combat (especially action), art direction/settings, polish and game balance (and ). Open world, go anywhere sandboxy design is cool at first but after a while, I lose interest since I don't have much direction. Like, I LOOOOOVED Xenoblade, which had huge worlds to explore, but it also had direction and a feeling of progression (which is why reports of Xenoblade X worry me a bit).

Of course there are exceptions on both sides. Witcher 1 and 2 (haven't played 3 yet) had a nice balance between sidequesting and story, along with serviceable (though broken) combat and fairly unique for the genre tropes. Planescape had a pretty interesting storyline, and a lot of the grindy RPG stuff could be avoided (which is good since it's definitely not the game's strong suit).

[bluemax]

I played about 5 hours of Xenosaga and couldn't keep going. It was just too awful.

It's the kind of RPG that makes Final Fantasy 12 look good.

Now Xenogears also had a ridiculous story, but there was a really good RPG system underneath it, so the game was tolerable.

What is good about Xenogears awful button input combat? I mean I applaude the idea to make combat more interesting but after awhile it makes the already long and slow battles even longer and slower. And given how bad the encounter rate is, it just grates more and more. I think I only got past the arena part of the game once before I finally gave up out of exasperation.

Xenoblade on Wii was every bit as awful as Dragon Age with having too many fucking sidequest. It was like every time you get to a new area there's 400 of the exact same side quests as you did in the previous area. The pacing is god awful. 2 hours of story/traversal progression followed by 5+ hours of shitty MMO fetch quests.

It's not really button mashing. It's pretty much Chrono Cross except not as elegant. Still fun.

Wild Arms XF is pretty fun. I'm enjoying it more than FFT.

[Himu]

It's a good game.

It's a good game.

The gella exploit and CSP farming are so damn easy and it makes creating crossbreed characters so simple.

Great game, though it takes a little bit of time to get the hang of... once you start thinking of the game more as a puzzle game and less as a grindy SRPG, the easier it is... I had a ton of trouble at first, but after the first few battles in the second chapter, the game becomes a LOT easier.

Levin as a mage = totally OP!

I'm definitely seeing that more and more. I'm at the third set of jobs (Grappler, Enigmancer, etc.) and having difficulty figuring out which classes the named characters should go for since these are the most... esoteric so far.

Xenogears is amazing and ahead of its time, aside from that second disc

Grappler is required for one of the later levels (you'll know the one), but it's fun to use in levels with water/pits... stand at the edge of the water/pit with your Grappler and grapple an enemy to make him fall in. It helped with one of the hardest late-game battles.

I don't fucking understand that dude's point. They're not standing on some kind of fucking moral highground here or anything by not dropping the subreddit, they're not some kind of bulwark against racists flowing out on to the net and infiltrating everything. The site is literally just scared to pull the fucking trigger on a bunch of racists in light of what happened with dudes hating on fatties. Sure people will cry censorship, but you'll be damned if you're going to see large swaths of the site standing in solidarity, closing down and shit because /r/coontown caught a fade.

Nah, fuck all of that and fuck those corporate heads. This is 100% grade chickenshit moves and nothing but.

No doubt, but doesn't change the fact that you don't have to look hard to find the vast majority of their posts regarding the downfall of white society to the "minority plague". I mean maybe you're right, though... Maybe it's just perspective.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoonTown/comments/3f1vk9/i_am_not_a_white_supremacist/

I do not believe that Whites are supreme perfect beings at all. That would be silly. I am a Black Inferiorist. I feel that of all races the BLACKS are the most inferior.

 

Semantics don't fucking mean shit on a site that has proven historically to be white middle class dudes by a vast majority brehs.

[brawndolicious]

Just ban the racists, the point of Reddit having all these sub forums is to allow users to check out a whole bunch of topics they're interested in discussing.

I have never met a well adjusted adult who enjoys debating with racists. The core audience mostly cares about things like cars, history, porn, etc. It seems pretty obvious that a massive website needs to cull the crazies to keep everyone else happy.

[Himu]

I truly wonder why he thinks we're inferior. There's the poverty argument, but pretty much every race and every continent has a large amount of poverty and crime. South America is full of poverty and crime. Asia is full of poverty. That's often a large claim. They'll often say that Asians make themselves good and "valuable" when they reach America, calling them the "model minority" but ignore that Africans test near or at the top, and many nation in Africa are on the upswing economically. What they mean by "Asia" they really just mean Japan or Korea, usually.

I'm really interested in the mindset that views a race as inferior. Throw me your logic. I'm sure they'll use violence stats too, while ignoring that most public shootings in America for instance, are done by white males.

I'm really interested. Must be amazing to witness such cognitive dissonance on such an epic scale.

Stormfront has been linked to tons of hate crimes and still exists as is.

"Freedom of speech" though.

Honestly at some point we're going to have to admit as a society that hate speech is not free speech, they're implicit threats.

Yeah, I essentially made that point but you phrased it better than me.

Where's the proof we're inferior? I'd love to hear it.

Stormfront is an autonomous entity, coontown is a part of place that advertises itself as "the front page of the internet" that takes advertising dollars from a number of companies.

Stormfront is its own website. Reddit has investors (like Snoop Dogg) and advertisers who would most definitely not approve of this.

Umberto Eco on Ur-Fascism is, of course, about fascism, but there is a large overlap in the rhetorical scaffolding that holds together this sorts of racism.
