That’s something I never noticed. And a little Billy Joel trivia I didn’t know. Really could not see the man knocking someone out.
- Comment on Believe and be saved! 5 days ago:
Not the biggest fan of the Fall Out Boy cover, but everyone here that wasn’t alive when the original came out is doing themselves a disservice by not listening.
The lyrics have been updated, it’s not a cover. Hearing Trump’s name in the same song that mentions MySpace and Sandy Hook has got to be the same level of cultural whiplash as Billy Joel mentioning “Wheel of Fortune,” Watergate, Joseph Stalin, and “Stranger in a Strange Land.” Except it really hits home, because those of us that weren’t adults when the original came out recognize and have memories of almost everything in the song, just like Billy Joel intended.

Rest in peace. Bobby always a highlight of those movies. Takes a hell of a character actor to stack up next to Jim Varney every time.

I feel like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom is the real national brand.
- Comment on LoZ Minish Cap Similar Games 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if you’ve played Oracle of Ages/Seasons, but those are two more great Capcom Zelda games.
I saw someone else say CrossCode, and I can second that. CrossCode is the only game I have ever played to perfectly capture the way games felt on the Nintendo DS. Control, aesthetic, everything. It made me immediately nostalgic the first time I played it.

I had to look at the community name before I realized this was about unit conversions and not that alien sticky.

- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 months ago:
Bonanza Bros, Blast Corps, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines, Cruisn World, LEGO Battles, NBA Jam
Bonanza Bros would be a great couch co-op multiplayer game in a world where we need more. It would benefit from some gameplay tweaks, and adding online play and 4 players would be big.
Blast Corps was awesome, I found it to be an extremely underrated Rare game. This game in an engine with simulated rubble and crazy explosions would be a gem. I also think changing the camera to first person should be an option at the very least.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days got its cutscenes remastered. I want the full game. It was dripping in atmosphere, and I loved the premise of scouting the new worlds. The graphics could use an upgrade, and the combat could be brought up to par with KH2. But, I love the leveling system and think it would barely need touching.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is awesome and not super long. It’s extremely buggy, but luckily there’s a modder named Wesp5 who has spend YEARS creating an Unofficial Patch, to a point where all the cut content is restored and it’s essentially feature-complete. There’s a version that just patches the game, and a restored content version. I think he should be given a team and be allowed to curate content and rebalance cut mechanics for a remake. It would be magical.
Cruisn World is one of my favorite arcade racers ever. It has untouchable vibes, and I’d just like to see that with a nice sheen over it, maybe more levels and vehicles?
LEGO Battles is an RTS for the Nintendo DS. Put it on PC, nuff said.
NBA Jam is not very niche. I want a remake, and I don’t care if it’s up-to-date. It’s the best sports game period.

If they could control it, I believe they would choose to shit on people. This makes me feel safer due to random chance.

Oh Jack T. Chick will never stop, even after death. I wonder if they still sell the AIDS and homosexual ones from the 80s.

Anyone looking for more of this, check out Boolean Union
I found this site years ago, but I haven’t visited it in forever. They dissect Chick Tracts, and the site is a great way to read the full source material. From a cursory look, it seems they’re still going strong to this day, up to Tract #285 now (there are still new ones being published). It’s not just Chick Tracts, they’ve covered a lot of other evangelical fundamentalist pieces.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 2 months ago:
Asking questions is how most people show interest. That doesn’t mean it’s disingenuous. Conversations are not events where people take turns talking at each other, they’re back-and-forths.

This is probably the most concise and practical answer in this thread.

I just use the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. I’m autistic, diagnosed in 2016. One thing I’ve noticed when hanging out with other autistics: they all want to talk about their special interest, and will go on for hours unhindered, but you can try to make conversation about something they don’t care about for 5 minutes and they don’t even pay attention. I’m definitely guilty of this, to a degree. I think that’s part of having autism. But the next time someone is telling you about something and you find you don’t care, consider what it would feel like if you were discussing your special interest with someone and they just acted disinterested the whole time. Doesn’t feel good, does it?
It’s important to realize that in conversations, most people don’t care about topics, they care about the person to whom they’re speaking. When you speak to someone, you’re signing up to have a conversation with them, not necessarily about something. For example, my fiancee is really into musical theatre, and I’m not. I don’t understand any of the terminology, or what even goes into a stage show. But I love her, and if she wants to talk about it, you bet your ass I’m sitting and asking questions because I know I’m going to end up telling her about Black Ops II Zombies lore for like 2 hours straight later. It’s not necessarily transactional, it just would be a terrible relationship if I only talked to her about my interests.
There is no social game. Well, probably to some psychopaths somewhere there is. But people ask you questions about things in your life because that is one of the ways people show interest in others. It’s nothing to do with gaming the social system - they are interested in talking to you, so they give you opportunities to talk about yourself, your interests, and what you’ve been doing. Sure, they probably don’t “care” about what they’re asking about the same way you do, but they’re not asking out of some cold, machine like formula that lets them climb up the social ladder - it’s just how being social works.
I’ll leave you with this thought: being able to listen to and understand the feelings of someone else in a situation you have no attachment to is empathy. Studies on empathy have shown that it is a skill that can be improved, not a static thing that’s rationed out to you in a certain amount at birth. One good way to work on empathy is to imagine yourself as the other person. So, the next time someone’s telling you about something you don’t care about, you could imagine being in their shoes. You may realize that they have something worth caring about after all, and though you may not care as much as they do, you may appreciate what they have to say just a bit more.
