My dad is convinced Atlas Shrugged is one of the greatest modern books ever written. I saw how big it was and was like "nah", at which point he bemoaned the waste of my potential.

I'm still doing the Campaign... That arcade game is really fun and I lose track of time. I'll rush through the campaign

I've only watched the movie of Atlas Shrugged tbh, but... sigh. It just felt like a narrow viewpoint. Not reading her writing word for word might have left me with a different impression though.Yeah, they're really awesome, as long as they're not written by "Objectivists."
...I really hate Ayn Rand. Her books are uninteresting and unengaging, and came up with a philosophy that literally says "Fuck anyone that isn't you. If they can't deal, it's their problem." She's an asshole. Who writes poorly.
Also, her name is confusing.
I like laissez-faire economics, but I dunno about using it as a moral philosophy.
No,
I was seduced by your terrible nico gifs
Yep yep yep.
If I remember right, Sacred stones had that. It might've? Kicked fucking ass. And then they took it out again.
Xcom did that okay.
I don't want to hear that from the guy who stabbed me in the chest earlier.
You fucking wut mate

IKE?
Oh my... Oh no... just...eww
Eww
Also, no, some of the characters are pretty good if you do their supports. The main strength of 7 is in its gameplay, best designed of the series. it's great.
That's some real nice art. I'm about to turn that Yozakura into an avatar.
I can confirm the movie is hot garbage compared to the book. Not to mention it apparently only covers the first third of the book in the first place, according to dad.

I liked some, just nothing that makes me go ' yea that's super cool', just stays in the middle for the most part.
FE4 doesn't even hold a candle to FE5's difficulty. It's on a whole new level, if fact I don't thinks it's a well designed hard mode game at all. It's just pure bullshit for the most part. Almost impossible to do without some sort of help of guide

It's so weird that it's not more common. It must be really hard to balance or something.
Your dad sounds like an asshole.
I read that book.
it was bad, and tried to make me into an asshole.
It probably didn't work. Only you guys know for sure I guess.

Here you go nerd
I don't want it transparent. I prefer it with a background.
I don't even care that it's hard to balance
give me an unbalanced one
just FE:A's, but let me do it versus rather than against dumbass streetpass AI
I think it just might not occur to people when developing that this is a thing people want.

Nephenee is probably my single favourite unit in the whole of the Fire Emblem series (Ayra coming in close). Dammit Intelligent Systems bring back the soldier class!

Mhmm, they were baiting out a three parter.
I'd like to read it just to have an opinion, but Objectivist ideals are kinda uninteresting. Ethics of exclusive self-interest are something I don't think make for an convincing moral code, and are ideas more suited for a governmental laissez faire system.

You know what, I'd prefer it to be unbalanced. I want my broken bullshit vs your broken bullshit.

NO?

She was my favorite unit of that game too. Just so much fun to use, like a knight with decent movement, or a calvary that could go over mountains and wasn't weak to horseslayers.
I understand the reason she came up with it (she grew up in Russia, and moved to the US a few years after the rise of the USSR, so she was a really strong believer in capitalism), but I'm a firm believer in helping out the less fortunate.
A big part of what I hated about Anthem was that 90% of it used no singular personal pronouns (it was a plot thing), which started getting old by the end of the first chapter.
I've never read it, but after Anthem, I have no desire to. I'll stick to super slowly working my way through A Song of Ice and Fire.
Oh gosh Nephenee has a beautiful design I forgot
No need to rush, enjoy your first playthrough of the game.
SS and FE7 both had Arena. Arguably and surprisingly, the Shadow Dragon remake had proper grid-based versus map multiplayer, and it's the only one in the series released west-side to do that.
How do you go "eww" at Ike and slobber all over FE7's turgid dick and still go to sleep at night? FE7 feels so barebones compared to the proceeding games (except for Shadow Dragon). Unless the gameplay radically changes past Chapter 20, there's very little of a case to make here. Guy, Dorcas, Dart, Lucius, Serra, Erk, Hawkeye, etc. are all really underwhelming characters from what I saw.
Also I found it odd how supporting in FE7 was basically a hidden system that you never properly learn about at all.
Yep, that's that FE7 goodness. Except with some degree of tactics please. I sometimes would just make a competitive team of only archers and nomads
and one lyn I never attacked with
Actually, I think the competitive strategy might've been in Shadow Dragon instead.
What a waste.
But...alright

I like minarchy (minimal government), actually, and I'd probably call myself Libertarian, but everything about Rand seems closer to a type of Anarchy/Capitalism and promotes purely selfish behavior on a moral level and that's just dumb. The question is who and how to help people, not "don't help people" that's dumb and selfish.
I can see her bouncing back hard from Russian socialism though. Socalism is kinda bad.
Also that sounds awful to read, goddamn.
I don't know if anyone plays league here, please don't make fun of me if you don't like it that's completely cool, but someone drew some champions in Fire Emblem portrait style and I thought it was really cool!

Thank you anyway. I made it transparent myself, and thought it looked better before.
That's pretty radical.

Nah, we're pretty accepting of people's video game tastes here.
Except for mine. Because even I know they're awful.

We make fun of Missus Bull/Jman/demidar for liking Dota 2 sometimes. So prepare for light ribbing.
I like League character designs, and those are pretty rad.
Aaron-Lagann

Those actually look really rad.
I don't think anyone plays league here. We do have a couple Dota dorks, though.
Classic Fire Emblem style is superior to Awakening's style. That is all.
Those are pretty cool.

Moba's are kinda unpopular here, especially League. I used to play but stopped after my team fell apart.
Like Fraud said, the worst you'll get is some light jokes.

That's because Persona 4 is a great game with a great cast of characters and you're a monster.
If you really thing about it, gurren lagaan is barely anime.

I... think NCR Redslayer plays League.
I have different political views (which I'm not going to go into, because I'm a firm believer in not talking about politics or religion with people you want to keep talking to), but yeah, self-centeredness to an absurd degree isn't really a good thing.

Don't recognise anyone but they look really good, how did you draw them like that?
You've only played the base version(Eliwood's normal), and not to completion. You don't know the beauty of that game's hard modes. (Also it really does step it up kinda hard after chapter 20.)
I played all 3 games on the highest difficulty. The difference really shows.
The gamecube and wii games were largely the victim of power creep, as your units got stronger and stronger and the enemies just couldn't keep up. It didn't require intense strategy like a hard mode should, just intensely OP units that the game would just give you. Third tiers were busted, and there's a reason they haven't come back since.
Arena was definitely a thing, but that's really an exploit for save-scummers. Try playing the game without it, and it's a very different experience.

Sorry if I stepped on your toes or anything. I'm kinda a sucker for getting into those big no-no topics.
