  1. Should low quality university degrees be restricted?

    @Black Angel I had also been wondering whether it was targeting fraudulent institutions like that as well. Which as you covered are extremely unethical and predatory. It amazes me that they can remain legal given how they are scams. It seems there is a fine line and some can skate by on...

  2. Pet goat slaughtered and served at community BBQ

    I am really unfamiliar with programs like that, so this seems like a really unusual situation to me. It comes across as irresponsible of the parents. It is hard to learn much about how that program is run though with how the video is framed.

  3. What are you currently watching?

    Titans! I am surprised how hooked I got into it. I just started watching it this week and I am already up to the third season. will possibly finish it this week. I shouldn't have put it off for so long.

  4. Final Fantasy X

    I think if I am doing repetitive stuff in a game like that, then I need to be doing something else at the same time. Usually streaming a show, watching videos on YouTube or listening to podcasts. Sometimes I would even be studying while gaming. I was actually doing my research for an assignment...

  5. Final Fantasy X

    I am quite similar to you with that. I think that is why I found X to be one of the harder entries, as I played a lot of the other games when I still enjoyed spending lots of hours grinding. Whereas I did very little of that in my playthrough of X. A few of the bosses I ended up limping through...

  6. Failing or never trying?

    Agreed with the general consensus here that it is worse to never try. Although admittedly that is something that I have often had a bad habit of doing. These past few years I have had to actively make efforts to overcome this part of my personality.

  7. Are you picky about what games you buy?

    I have gotten more fussy with purchases in the short term, but in general I am not fussy at all. I enjoy a fairly wide variety of game genres which opens up lots of possibilities for me. In the short term though I don't think there are any games I am especially wanting to buy. Although I tend to...

  8. Final Fantasy X

    That is understandable, I was the same with it myself. Back on the PS2 I didn't get very far into the game at all. I think I might it not much further than the blitzball tournament. It wasn't until a few years ago when I played through the remake that I finished the story. I enjoyed it quite a...

  9. Should low quality university degrees be restricted?

    I would be somewhat skeptical of this move, especially given the graph that came with BBC article and trends within universities. The university is meant to have the dual focus of preparing people for participation within society and for the production of academic research. While getting...

  10. Last Game Played

    Guardians of the Galaxy, I am surprised I put off playing it for so long. I am really enjoying it. Love the exchanges between the team members.

  11. The 10 Year Anniversary of the Black Lives Matter Grift

    So as long as said conversation is continuing to perpetuate racism and maintain the social hierarchy then it can go ahead. I like it how the only scope for conversation they will allow is further demonizing of a marginalized community. Their unwillingness to have an actual conversation is on...

  12. How Evolution Fuels Racism & Bigotry

    He never really establishes or develops the position adequately. Neither his conceptualization of evolution nor that of racism were satisfactory. I hadn't heard of him, so was expecting much more from the video than what we got. Which is a shame, as there has been a lot of literature on...

  13. Video games are tough on you because they love you

    I totally do the same thing as him, and talk to the character as if they can hear me. A former flatmate found it amusing when he started living with me. Not sure if it makes it better, but I will also swear at myself when I do stupid shit. 😅 😅

  14. Achievements & Trophies

    Sometimes going for them can be a detriment to my gaming experience, whereas at others it can improve the experience. On Playstation consoles I will typically look for a guide and roadmap to see if it falls within my limited skillset. If it looks achievable to me, I will give it a go. I am...

  15. Last Game Played

    Yep, I finished it before I started Klonoa. I didn't do any of the trials though haha. I did all the hunts and side quests though. I ended up enjoying the game all the way through. Also preferred the side quests in this a lot more than the ones in 15. I am also now on Klonoa 2 although I don't...

  16. BLM Supporter Charged In Philadelphia Mass Shooting

    I am not even surprised that they would try to spin this story in such a manner. Especially with the current trend where they have really amped up their efforts of dehumanizing anyone and anything they can connect to people who are trans. Regardless of whether the link exists only in their...

  17. If couldn't play games for a year

    I would like to say that I would do a lot more reading, I would also possibly spend a lot more time posting on forums. When I took a break for a few years from playing games I did do both of those things a lot more. I also spent a lot more time listening to podcasts and following the political news.

  18. Last Game Played

    Still Klonoa, although I am not having as much fun with it now. Hahaha oh my life am I bad at this game. Stuck in the bonus level, I am sure that I am only like 1 or 2 rooms from the end. Might as well be an eternity away though with how badly I am going. :banghead: :banghead:

  19. If you could make one thing illegal...

    Acting in a way which compromises the ability of others to realize their human rights. Essentially enshrining the universal declaration of human rights and subsequent declarations. We have had the declarations for some time now, yet they have never adequately been enforced as so many behaviours...

  20. Do You Day Dream?

    Yes, I still daydream a lot. It isn't really a mater of having time or not, I just seem to slip into daydreams without even meaning to. My job is pretty monotonous, so I can't imagine how people would get through their shifts without daydreaming. Although I am not always daydreaming at work...
