  1. Rich people & crimes

    Absolutely, there are things like crimes punishable with fines which essentially just make them more legal according to how much wealth a person has. The public reaction to White collar vs blue collar crimes as well is telling. Welfare fraud is often decried even though it is a tiny fraction of...
  2. Historic Statue Removal

    In many instances the act of putting the statues themselves up is a rewriting of history. There is the whole thing about history being written by the victors and all that. I would not assume that leaving the statues up is any less political charged or objective than taking them down. It just...
  3. Street Smarts vs Book Smarts

    It would depend what book smarts you are talking about. A field like anthropology isn't what I would consider to be far removed from a lot of the experiences that can be expected. Especially as there are ethnographies for most social situations, so understanding cultural dynamics particular to...
  4. Yu-Gi-Oh TCG

    I have just recently started getting back into it again. I have a haphazard collection that I will need to organize to make tidier. I have a few binders too. I also have a few of the games on Switch and PS4.
  5. FF VII remake treatment

    Since I haven't played it, I can definitely get behind a remake. I would be even happier if it got both a remake and a port to modern consoles haha. 😆
  6. FF VII remake treatment

    Final Fantasy VI would be so incredibly interesting to see what they would do with it. I reckon that would be so for IV, V and VI. I have heard really positive things about Xenogears but never played it myself. 😅😅
  7. What is a video game you stopped playing?

    I stop playing videogames all the time. Usually because I get sidetracked so easily. I can be really enjoying a game and just stop playing. Sometimes I will go back and finish it but not always. Recent games that are in hiatus for me are Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Stray, Kirby and the Forgotten...
  8. Which game are you anticipating it's release most?

    The closer it gets to release the more interested I am becoming in Starfield. I am also oddly excited for One Piece Odyssey. I still need to play the FF7 remake haha so that prevents me being excited for Crisis Core and the second remake.
  9. Last Game Played

    Pokemon Scarlet, I am at the start of the game. I haven't played that many Pokemon games, but I am enjoying it so far.
  10. Games you suck at?

    How does it run on the Switch? I have the trilogy on PS4. Which game/s of the trilogy did you try? Also how far did you get? I played through all three but only got the platinum for the 3rd one. Even that one took me a while because I got stuck on one of the time trials for like 7 or 8 hours. 😬😬
  11. MOTM December ~ FaeQueen

    Congratulations! Awesome to see that you won it! Often find your posts really interesting and enjoyable to read!
  12. New consoles

    From what I have heard their games have not been going well. Crucible ended up being a failure. They cancelled the game within a year of it coming out. From what I recall it was attempting to cash in on the live service craze and absolutely failed at delivering a meaningful experience. I am...
  13. warrior, mage, or rogue

    Most of the time I tend to favour mage classes, although the Skyrim run I recently did I went for warrior. Not sure why I was much less interested in magic this time. I rarely go rogue because I normally get discouraged with the time investment that gets thrown out the window when I make my...
  14. Announcement 500k!

    That is pretty impressive how quickly the site is going. I am often amazed at how much content the help can create. You missed the golden age! Also unrelated, but where do you play chess online? I might be a bit delayed with my moves due to timezones and work, but I am keen to play now!
  15. Podcasts

    I tend to go through phases where I really love listening to podcasts and then those when I go off them. Mine are usually politically focused. Since we have our elections next year in New Zealand I really need to get back into listening to my NZ podcasts I like. For NZ politics...
  16. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    I absolutely agree! Although I hadn't even considered passion could be over the top. As I don't see the point in doing something if you aren't doing it with love. That is really awesome to hear. I personally think that this is the real bonus which can come from studying. How we grow and develop...
  17. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    Oh, it is more a case of them being something I am genuinely interested in. It makes it way easier. I also like playing with the concepts and theories that I learn about. I never proofread, but I can spend days or weeks thinking about how I want to put my essay together. I read about it...
  18. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    Haha usually the word limits reel me in, as a lot of the assignments I am genuinely interested in so enjoy writing about. To the point that even readings I did for assignments over a decade ago stick with me. Well the gist of them does anyway to the degree they influence my current thinking...
  19. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    I am lucky I don't have math classses. Haha I am upset enough if they simply want us to use a different writing style for our assignments. I much much prefer the thesis driven essays. But those are becoming more and more scarce. I am so sure you have mentioned it before, but what did you study?
  20. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    Hahaha it is pretty bad, but that is totally on me. I am happy with the result despite it easily being my worst assignment grade this semester. For this class my previous two assignments were A- and A+. Which ended up being fortunate as they have essentially carried the class for me...
