Y'all made me curious now. I looked up one escort's page and she posted a screenshot of a costumer review on some site called tosluts.com. There was even a meme that said I saw your mom on tosluts.com

DreamyDrop- I signed up, got the app and messed around with it. Now here are my questions:

1. Other than expanding this so called family tree, how do I figure out what everybody else is posting or doing, or basically how do I communicate with others?
2. Possibly related to 1, is the app limited compared to the website?

1. Use hashtags.
2. Not really, most of the site functionality is in the app.

actually I can think of a new game I played in 2014 that is my GOTY.

The Adventures of Square is my GOTY.

In fact Square is already better than that nintendo game Splatoon will ever be.

It looks like I'm going to Costa Rica for the next family vacation. I started wiki'd and watched some videos about the place and I can't wait. In a few months, here I(we) come straight for the ladies.
 
I thought it was implicit. I know if Iggy called him J Coal, I would be heated. Didn't Azalea Banks start that shit? I wouldn't try and copy her right now. She has legitimate gripes, just the wrong messenger.

i'm aware of the connotations behind coal... and even igloo,. but only pertaining to natives... and canadians...
 
Not even going to lie. I had no fucking idea what backpage was until I joined GAF.

I had no idea Backpage existed until this page.

I heard the black skin options aren't shit.

I came out fine. It's the "black" hair that bothered me.

Dragon Age is so good. I beat it yesterday now I'm doing another run.
Damned good game. I had to beat it because it was simply staring back at me for too long. Don't like not finishing games that I enjoy this much.

How many hours did it take you? I'm 120 deep, and have what looks to my estimation to be about half way through all of the areas and side quests.

130 and I really did "rush" the last 3-4 parts of the game. I did find time to blast open the culo of every dragon in the game though.
I heard the black skin options aren't shit.

They're "okay". Nothing great, better than what Bioware usually offers.

I haven't bought a game since uncharted 3 and my ps3 is done for since last year. I have continuously become apathetic to gaming due to me disliking most of the offerings lately. So i made the decision to wait it out until my favorite franchises come out. Haven't got a ps4 yet but killzone I will eventually play. Most preferred fps I have played the last decade. Big kilzone guy here. Tekken is coming. Gt7 is coming(soony lol). And uncharted is looking fine. My gaming appetite hopefully will be satisfied next year when I finally make that ps4 purchase.

I dont care what you say lol. The first one and liberation are good compared to the rest. KZ2 is best overall especially online. Kz3, didn't like it as much. Kzsf, I will played it and then go mostly for online.

I haven't enjoyed a cod since cod4 so...
Oh and goddam I would so love Warhawk on Ps4.

I've never been one to care that I couldn't be a black guy in games.

But after X/Y gave it to me and ORAS took it away... Damn I've been feeling the loss. I miss my black avatar.

last time i made a black guy in a game was probably mass effect 2

even in 2k i make asians these days. just all over the place with player creation if i can help it

The reasoning for that was that gen 3 had a protagonist you could not customize and they wanted to keep it consistent.

Whether you think that is good or bad its up to you .
 
Most games I usually attempt to recreate my face (it usually fails, I'm playing DA:I right now as Lil Boosie Obama) but I'll also make a random female character of any race.

Yeah, I understand it...

Still, it only means that X2/Y2 are about to be fucking godlike. What with everything from ORAS and more.

Yeah, in non remakes Custom protag is a must.

There are a bunch of other things I think should be added to pokemon too, but that discussion might be a bit too large for here.

Don't buy it. The remake of red and green added female player characters. They could have done it.

If I were in the mood for white people getting pissed, I'd have pointed out how racism isn't a thing that effects them.
I'm very well aware that I just fell in your trap but can we have a conversation about this notion?

While this may be very well true in the US it couldn't be more wrong on a international level. Racism as a strictly skin colour based system is mainly a US thing. If Europeans, as an example, talk about Racism it's about all kinds of things not limited to your skin colour. You face Racism here because of your ethnicity, your cultural background, your religion and all kinds of other shit. You don't have to black to face Racism. People just hate everyone who isn't like themselves. I already pointed out numerous times how I, living as a foreigner in Germany, had to face Racism. Especially the casual one. I mean I'm Italian. We always carry knives, steal German women and their work. The only thing we're good at is cooking. Or so they say. There's this saying Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus which roughly translates to Germany for Germans, foreigners out. That is Racism against all people not only limited to one skin colour.

I got beaten up by skinheads, my friends got beaten up, we got harassed by the Police all the time
to be fair, at least they didn't kill us
, people cross the street when we're on the same side. I almost lost friends because people set refugee centres on fire. The list goes on. Don't get me wrong I don't try to compare our struggle with yours. This is not a contest. But it actually stings me a bit whenever I have to read something like that.

And with that off my chest I wish you guys a happy and safe new year. I hope next year will be a bit better, for all of us. No hard feelings.

There is zero customization in oras. I honestly think they took the lazy approach

However I wouldn't skip it over that alone lol

i dont think they were lazy, i think they were too busy adding things that we wont get in other games.
