  1. Rate the Last Movie(s) You've Watched

    Today I watched Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. They are pretty bad, but somehow I enjoy watching them. For a movie that I am watching while playing games they are entertaining. Don't require much attention to understand what is happening. I did love the start of Bride of Chucky with all the...

  2. Cenk Uygur launches Democratic primary campaign.

    In this past week Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks has declared that he is launching a campaign to challenge Biden's position as the Democratic candidate for next year's presidential race. He has been critical of the Democratic party for decades for being an ineffective and weak party that is...

  3. Evolution?

    Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. We have already had an instance where you asserted I was misunderstanding your point, so I wanted to be certain this time before I gave a more detailed response. I will hopefully have it up within a week or 2.

  4. Evolution?

    I was wanting your clarification that the quote I posted accurately reflects the point you have been making about scientific laws. Something you still haven't confirmed or denied.

  5. Evolution?

    Are you asking me what the point of clarification is?

  6. Evolution?

    Before I give a more lengthy reply, I want to clarify that I have understood what you are saying correctly. To do that, I will quote philosopher of science A.F Chalmers from his book What is this thing called science? Edit: Fixed a typo

  7. Evolution?

    Could you clarify your position then, as it had genuinely been my understanding that this is what you were doing.

  8. Evolution?

    The two are not in opposition to each other, nor is one more scientific than the other. The two are quite closely interconnected with each other. We agree that they operate on different scales and scopes. I disagree that theories are less scientific than laws, or that laws are more pure. To...

  9. Favorite RPG and why?

    I think I sometimes underestimate how much I enjoy that game. Haha even hearing some of the music from it can get me excited. Absolutely loved it when I played it back on the original Playstation and it changed what my favourite game genre was essentially by itself. Ah nice, I don't think I...

  10. Evolution?

    It isn't so much about the prevalence of the traits in question, but rather the notion that evolution itself isn't a progressive process. It isn't about the species themselves improving and becoming more evolved, as evolution isn't an optimization process. It is about those that are able to...

  11. What are you doing right now?

    Browsing Off Topix on my break at work while eating lollies and occasionally answering questions from my sister about the electoral process in New Zealand since we have a general election on Saturday.

  12. Evolution?

    General consensus seems to be that the Neanderthals died out as a result of competition, from sociocultural advantages possessed by homo sapiens. There is no such thing as lesser evolved animals. Evolution isn't a progressive process, to speak of more or less evolved animals doesn't make sense...

  13. Do you have a lot of friends or just a few?

    I can have issues with social anxiety and depression so it isn't always easy for me to recognize how many friends I have. Although I have improved immensely on that front these past 4 years. There are a fair number of people that get along with me at work and I am genuinely happy when I see...

  14. Losing Sight of Your Personal Goals and Identity?

    I am not entirely sure how to respond to this, on one hand my initial reaction was that my personal goals are so central to who I am as a person. My identity has changed and will continue to change throughout my life as I come across new perspectives and experiences. My core principles and...

  15. Last Game Played

    I have gone back to playing Fallout 4, making slow progress. Will look at trying some of the DLC stuff when I am ready. My character is pretty squishy though so doesn't take much more than a gentle breeze to kill him. :LOL::LOL:

  16. Favorite RPG and why?

    I was definitely enjoying what I was playing and will go back to it at some point. 😁😁

  17. Favorite RPG and why?

    Yes! Especially early 2000s Bioware. One day I will even finish Jade Empire. Have to start again though as I have no idea what happened to my save file. 😬😬 Skyrim isn't my favourite Elder Scrolls, but I still enjoyed it a lot and spent a lot of time playing it. Didn't enjoy Fallout 4 as much...

  18. Last Game/Match Watched?

    Warriors vs Broncos NRL preliminary final last night. First preliminary final the Warriors have played in since 2011. This season has been an amazing improvement on their previous 11 seasons and and an especially marked improvement over last year. To go from 2nd to last to one game short of...

  19. Favorite RPG and why?

    RPGs would be my favourite genre so there have been quite a few which I have really loved. I really loved the sense of exploration in Morrowind, even going back to it last year to play it a bit I still love the world. Around the same time I also really loved Knights of the Old Republic. I really...

  20. Last Game Played

    Yeah, I totally and completely agree with you. I love it when games can have that impact on me. What you say makes sense too, as it might be what is stopping me from properly connecting with Legend of Dragoon at the moment. That is definitely the case with me and dramas. It can be a while before...
