sadly no, its an american big blue but the control panel is a reproduction. it does have that good world art with the hilarious character portraits



I'm one of the few I know who likes American controls for these older titles so I'm okay with it. 3S/MVC2 also are on big blues but CVS2 is a candy cab with pink/green Sanwa.

Cindi, why do so many trans women play fighting games? Last local I went to had like 4 and I’m in Missouri. Is it because of Guilty Gear or Kayo Police?

Mm I have a few ideas.

1. They're fun.

2. Fighting games are the most diverse genre bar none in terms of representation so this brings a diverse crowd, which means more trans representation. There are multiple trans (Poison) or trans-ish (Bridgette) characters. Plus they're like the only genre where you can play as a woman and kick ass and until recently it wasn't heavily sexualized. Fighting games, outside of jrpgs, were one of the few genres where you could play as cool female characters that weren't bimbos (sans DOA) so that's natural draw. Characters like Chun Li, Cammy, Morrigan, Millia, Nina, Sarah Bryant are just fucking cool. Meanwhile your only real alternative 20 years ago were sexed up polygons like Lara Croft.

3. Character loyalty. Most people's identify with their characters right? It's hard to explain but you feel attached to the character on an emotional level. So you'll want to take that character to the next level because you love them so much. When you have few female characters in games that are legit, it's pretty easy to get attached and want to level them up. I play Chun in every SF for this reason. I'm just attached to the character and everything she represents.

4. They're fun.

It's not any different than why there's so many black, Latino, and Asian fg players. People often see themselves in the game or something that just clicks with them which I think is one of the coolest part of the genre. I didn't want to learn how to play fighters properly until Poison in USFIV because of my connection to the character so maybe that's my personal perspective.

My 2c.

So with Google/SpaceX plan to launch their satellite network in 2019/2020 wouldn't that effectively undercut Comcast/Vertizon's/ATT's ability mess with people's internet? There would finally be another provider for everyone int he country.

Not having read anything about those programs, but having worked with Sat network sin the past, all I can say is if that is your one hope, you're fucked.

- Typically an 800ms ping, even if you pay up for an SCPC link. Its just going to be that bad.

- KA-Band ha sit the worst, but satellite internet gets hit by Rain-Fade BAD. Any moisture in the air? Your internet cuts out.

- Sun fade is a real bitch too.

- Wider windows means some applications freak out.
As far as I remember satellite is for the download leg only and you have to have some other bullshit connection handling upload (which is usually pathetic and super high latency if you're resorting to satellite)


That sounds horrible.

i wonder if excelsioref's consistent subtle altering of their avatar is what they consider enough to claim trans status

oh, she says she's post-op, thanks for turning my joke about an avatar into a douchey comment (ed note: how is this different than normal?)

Quote from: excelsiorlef
A) Please don't use trangenderism... it's laregly a term used by the right wing to shit on trans people....
This is funny because if you actually had any experience with the lets say, less tactful, parts of the right-wing media/bloggers and how they talk about transgender people (hell, gays!), them even allowing the term transgender as holding any kind of validity is meeting trans people 75% of the way.

boy they should see what people actually post on ratemyprofessor and similar sites :lol  (edit: actually, i think there already is a conservative themed one of these or there used to be)

the only conservative professor (outside of abortion/gays) in my at the time department once had a lengthy diatribe posted about how he was pushing Marxism and Democratic Party talking points among other things (from my experience dude wouldn't know the first thing about Marxism outside of the famous lines from the Communist Manifesto) and he was depressed about this for months

i think i eventually decoded it for him, see, this was in early 2010 or so?...and his courses are exclusively focused on the American political process, how legislation gets made, executive branch powers, etc. so he was talking a lot about what the new Obama Administration and Democratic Supermajority was doing like the stimulus, health care, etc. even if as just examples or newspaper type summaries...it is true that his other focus is elections, which i suppose could have seemed Democratic tilted because of the way he lets students drive topics, but he does those in the fall semester so they line up with the actual elections and the "review" listed one of his spring courses and this is way more information than you might want but you're getting it FREE OF CHARGE*

The letter to administrators notes faculty first learned of Peterson’s plans through “publicly available online videos”:

Quote
“These videos describe the website as asking people to upload course descriptions, along with professor names, and then using AI software (called a “postmodern lexicon detector”) to rank them for “postmodern neo-Marxian” content, which he describes as a corruption that needs to removed from the university.”
The letter also notes concern with Peterson’s “violence-tinged language”:

Quote
“It is particularly concerning that Peterson uses violence-tinged language to describe the courses he hopes to prevent people from taking, describing them as corrupt, reprehensible, malevolent, a plague, and even ‘bordering on murderous’, and describing his overall project as part of a war.”
doh! alt-right FOILED AGAIN with their “publicly available online videos”

Quote
The letter also calls attention to Peterson’s at times violent tone, quoting one video where Peterson suggests anyone who speaks like a “postmodern neo-Marxist” should be “punched in the nose hard enough to knock you out.”

Concerned faculty say the violent rhetoric is especially disturbing in light of Peterson’s fixation on women and racialized groups:

Quote
“In public online remarks more broadly, Prof. Peterson regularly describes women and gender studies and what he refers to as ‘racial and ethnic group studies’ as pathological, a cancer, and in other strongly denigrating terms. The launch of this website must be put in this context in order to fully understand it as a platform that will generate harassment.”
The letter concludes:

Quote
“We strongly request that action is taken by university leadership to proactively prevent this harassment before it begins.”

What's wrong with transgenderism exactly? What else could it be called? It's like being mad people use autism. The conservatives who use it do so often out of good intentions. They have no other manner of defining or categorizing the condition that causes being trans. Like, I can understand not liking it, but to the point where it's considered offensive makes no sense as it's the basic, natural conclusion that comes from the English language and far, far better than other descriptors of the phenomenon such as transgendered.

You'll get a kick out of the second link Benji. It is by one of the most radical trans women in America (plz read Whipping Girl).

TLDR: most trans people offended by transgenderism/transsexuality or whatever tend to be, and this is mostly a blanket assumption, new to the community and are playing Word Police by making assumptions as to where these words came from. Unfortunately many of them are way too opinionated despite being a baby trans or at best a 2nd grade trans, and should shut the fuck and read actual literature and not just dumbass tumblrs.

Right, seriously, I thought many of them accepting "cheeseburger" was a positive step. Then I learned on NeoGAF.com that was the most vile thing you could say.

Really, TrannySurprise is a pretty progressive website. From what I've seen of it, the men upon being "surprised" don't react by violently beating them to death or even running away, instead they often stick that dick right in their mouth, and sometimes even their butt. Very empowering!

The discussion about redefining terms in the comments of that post are interesting, two years hence, as I clicked onto her main page to see the newest content which included Marcuse Revisited: https://medium.com/@juliaserano/refusing-to-tolerate-intolerance-f24c1bff513f

Throughout the piece and the connecting ones she uses the term "free speech absolutist" as a negative, and joins much of the last days of NeoGAF.com in the opinion that such positions "cannot be taken seriously." All while conflating those who confuse "free speech" for "speaking without any reputation or social consequences to ones self" and those who consider "free speech" as "lack of state/legal suppression" in a way that often leaves her walking past criticizing the impossible former, for advocating against the latter and in favor of state suppression of speech/press/assembly/etc.

For example, the middle piece in the series which actually seems more in line with Marcuse's assertion that ideas themselves are forms of violence and should be suppressed by the state like any violence while quoting from a recently "discovered" newly popular segment of Popper's Open Society let alone merely criticizing "speaking without any self consequences":
Quote
The second camp includes those of us who have witnessed the unrelenting rise of white nationalism (or the “alt-right,” as it is sometimes euphemistically called) online over the last several years — their recruitment of hordes of young white men, their campaigns of hate speech and harassment (e.g., Gamergate, attacks on Leslie Jones, and others) designed to intimidate and silence women and minorities. Now, we are watching the architects of that movement being treated as celebrities and playing lead roles in the Trump administration, and we cannot help but feel that there is something far more substantial and grave going on here.

...

more severe suppression may ultimately be necessary to stop it.
If you've entered the realm of ideas being literal acts of violence and as such needing to be suppressed by the Trump Administration then you aren't taking a stand against "free speech absolutists" you're taking a stand against concepts of liberty and democracy that predate the text of the First Amendment by hundreds of years.

It's not a slippery slope argument (which she complains about) to point out your entire argument is based on the premise that ideas should be illegal. You're ruling out not "absolutism" but the very possibility of the free exchange of ideas.

Another thing we can thank Jack Kirby for. The New Gods are living ideas who create weapons out of the power of ideas. Warner Bros and DC have been planning all this for years to setup Snyder's glorious Darkseid debut. Bless up.

Someone has to hold posters on a specific slowly becoming defunct video game forum and its now more successful spin-offs accountable and that duty is the reason The Bore exists. To expose the dirty parts of a very specific subset of a niche of the internet.

Or I totally misread that whole thing about "exposing dirty parts to demi is essential" in the Terms of Service.

this is the same guy who buys a single potato for dinner and buys the item worth a few cents with plastic (if im remembering correctly). Guy is a super euro-poor and strange socially, must be Danish.

This is all very exciting!

I mean it was always obvious this was gambling to anyone with half a brain to begin with, just because the law hadn’t been updated since well before digital commodities existed made no difference to that, so this was inevitably coming eventually, but gods damn is it satisfying to seee EA being the ones that took it too far and made regulators wake up to what the game industry was doing to the young and vulnerable!

Who knows, maybe now instead of just shoving exploitative skinner boxes designed to get as much money as possible out of addicts into their bloated, overly focus tested bore fests, AAA games could perhaps instead just make more diverse, well crafted games on a properly managed budget that justify a slightly higher price tag?

There will be 0 issue with government regulating games as long as it is strictly to do with gambling/loot boxes. Just need to make sure there is no open ended language in the legislation that could lead to censorship of content, just purely be about the gambling aspect.

Well clearly the ESRB and the industry itself aren't going to do anything about. This is what government is suppose to do, so I don't see how it's a bad thing.

Kind of shocked at how many people in this thread don't think gambling should be regulated.

Students of history will remember that the last turn of a century self-proclaimed Progressive movement in the United States also wanted to stamp out gambling as one of the many vices holding back the achievement of a modern society along with alcohol, blacks and the poor having too many children.

User banned (1 week): repeated and persistent trolling across multiple posts

Eventually, the left is going to get the government to form something like "interactive entertainment content board". ...

They will determine what sort of content we are allowed to consume. And just like every other regulation, it will do more harm than good.

http://juliaserano.blogspot.com/2015/08/regarding-trans-and-transgenderism.html?m=1

You'll get a kick out of the second link Benji. It is by one of the most radical trans women in America (plz read Whipping Girl).
The discussion about redefining terms in the comments of that post are interesting, two years hence, as I clicked onto her main page to see the newest content which included Marcuse Revisited: https://medium.com/@juliaserano/refusing-to-tolerate-intolerance-f24c1bff513f

Throughout the piece and the connecting ones she uses the term "free speech absolutist" as a negative, and joins much of the last days of NeoGAF.com in the opinion that such positions "cannot be taken seriously." All while conflating those who confuse "free speech" for "speaking without any reputation or social consequences to ones self" and those who consider "free speech" as "lack of state/legal suppression" in a way that often leaves her walking past criticizing the impossible former, for advocating against the latter and in favor of state suppression of speech/press/assembly/etc.

For example, the middle piece in the series which actually seems more in line with Marcuse's assertion that ideas themselves are forms of violence and should be suppressed by the state like any violence while quoting from a recently "discovered" newly popular segment of Popper's Open Society let alone merely criticizing "speaking without any self consequences":
Quote
The second camp includes those of us who have witnessed the unrelenting rise of white nationalism (or the “alt-right,” as it is sometimes euphemistically called) online over the last several years — their recruitment of hordes of young white men, their campaigns of hate speech and harassment (e.g., Gamergate, attacks on Leslie Jones, and others) designed to intimidate and silence women and minorities. Now, we are watching the architects of that movement being treated as celebrities and playing lead roles in the Trump administration, and we cannot help but feel that there is something far more substantial and grave going on here.

...

more severe suppression may ultimately be necessary to stop it.
If you've entered the realm of ideas being literal acts of violence and as such needing to be suppressed by the Trump Administration then you aren't taking a stand against "free speech absolutists" you're taking a stand against concepts of liberty and democracy that predate the text of the First Amendment by hundreds of years.

It's not a slippery slope argument (which she complains about) to point out your entire argument is based on the premise that ideas should be illegal. You're ruling out not "absolutism" but the very possibility of the free exchange of ideas.

Another thing we can thank Jack Kirby for. The New Gods are living ideas who create weapons out of the power of ideas. Warner Bros and DC have been planning all this for years to setup Snyder's glorious Darkseid debut. Bless up.

How's that Momo? A better starting point than Novid's pitch?
[close]

The mere conceptn of words as violence, that ISN'T ACTUAL HATE SPEECH (i.e. "I'll fucking kill you cheeseburger" "cheeseburgers meet my gun please" is laughable.

Words are not actual violence. Words can be used during violence, or precede violence. But literal violence?

And yeah, the free speech shit is always cute when it comes to the left. And it's always said by minorities who would (by the state) be the first ones to lose their rights, if it came to that. The fact that my generation doesn't find free speech important has made me realize that the majority are absolute fucking morons and we are destined to become the next baby boomers.

Nacho: Jog my old memory: Is that world art 1:1 with the old-school cabs? IIRC the cut-off bits (Aus for T.Hawk) weren't cut-off on the original cabs?
That one is a cut off cause its for some non-standard cabinet.

There's actually two ways the art can look depending on the cabinet. On a normal sized American cabinet it is folded under


On a Capcom big blue cabinet the art fills the control panel (ignore the art around the monitor in this pic, that's not original)

I just wanna comment on the rashida Jones stuff... I believe her since me and most of my family consider coco to be a racist ass movie

I was wondering if somebody in Resetera was going to say that Coco is a racist film, and didn't disappoint.

Is not a racist film. Is actually pretty good.
