Did anybody here see barbershop 3? It hurts my soul that they made the sole brown guy in the film drop the "why don't you black people pull up your bootstraps and help yourselves" argument in the movie.

AND he votes Republican too omg. They shame me.

Pretty decent though but its not as funny as the first.

I though it was odd that they made him a republican. The whole bootstrap thing didn't seem that out of place.

I thought it was somewhere between the second and the first in terms of quality.

Playing Devil Survivor it's cool, Wendigo is going wild. Looking for the dirtbag cousin.

I love that game.

25 years here and Ive never been to Venice beach before. Guess I'll go today

I haven't been there in a while, but at night Venice really comes alive. The restaurants and galleries used to be something special. That daytime tourist trap stuff you've probably seen already.
 
Morning BCT,

Question. My girlfriend is saying I should start a personal/political blog. Anyone have experience with that? Or would a podcast be more productive?

i always kinda/sorta entertain that idea myself. A LOT of political blogs are just awful.

Podcasts are terrible for political discussion though- a lot of nuance is lost and people seem too in love with talking just to talk.

No place is completely safe, but this is the best spot to be.

How is that digimon rpg on PlayStation?

I played a bit of my friend's game. It's a satisfactory experience from the 2hrs I put in. Nothing revolutionary or game changing. Dungeons and battles are kind of simple.

For anyone who may happen to be a fan of Steven Universe, I've been practicing lyrical writing by trying to write verses about things without just describing them or events in them. Results of first run through:

There's a universe we only ever get to see
Get to be
A tiny part of
An influence felt infinitesimally
It's small
The time we spend
The roles we play
On this little ball of dirt
Can make you wanna ask yourself
Why we bother to exert
The effort it takes
To make a small change
But a small change can be all things need
To rearrange
Some courage
Some kindness
Some hope can inspire
The hearts, minds, and wills
To topple a Gempire
So allow me to impart on you
A little advice
It costs us too much to be cruel
We can afford to play nice
Let cynicism go one way
Chase your dreams in the other
Be good to yourselves
Then be good to one another

See

I rose to the challenge
Earned myself this pearl of knowledge
It's a fire burning ruby in my eyes
No need to doubt
I am a thespian in life's theatre
No villain, I'm the hero
Nothing's gonna stop me period
Dot
zero zero
Huge aspirations runnin'
In my mental complex
And when one lap is finished you can trust
That I'm startin' the next
Not turnin' tail or turnin yellow
Diamond
mountains I won't fail to
Climb'em like a lion
I'm gon' keep on tryin' 'til I'm dyin'

No simple animal, a kite
That's meant to fly to soaring heights
Upon the wingspan of the friendships
For which I have had to fight

It hasn't only been a Rainbow
Quarts
of tears and blood and sweat
Have led me to conclude that
Sugar nets you more than any threat

Ever could
They've got a so-so pull
But love, loyalty, joy
You'll find these tools

That will get you through the worst of times
'Cause you chose to pursue a light
That shines within the only ones
You'll need to see you through the night

You rose to the challenge
Earned yourself this pearl of knowledge

Be there to start the next
Not turnin' tail or turnin yellow

mountains you won't fail to

You can keep on tryin' and I'll be

There for you
I'm gonna care for you
There's nothing we can't do
Between you and I
Don't think
Anything can get in our way.

Like what do you gain telling some racist fuck about their own privilege and disrespect? You think they're gonna change their minds and go ohh uh sorry. No, they don't give a fuck.

I really am trying to understand this. I guess I'll just attribute it to people expressing their pain and anger in different ways. I tend just keep it in.

This is a pretty safe place, as far as safe places that anyone can lurk goes. Just be sure to wipe any site drama from your boots when you enter.

I didn't know you were a SU fan. That's some fantastic work.

I really am trying to understand this. I guess I'll just attribute it to people expressing their pain and anger in different ways. I tend just keep it in.

You hope they would. Most of the time when I engage in it, it's not simply for the sake of the person I'm opposing but mainly for anyone else privy to the discussion that could at least start to look at things a different way. I have abandoned Facebook though because the amount of unflinching bigots that hide among friends and acquaintances is honestly overwhelming.

Thanks! A work day for the chorus, which sas the first thing I wrote. Another for the first verse. I've had the Malachite line floating around for a while now but decided to actually try and do a full fusion verse last week and got that done in another work day. Then just tinkered with it and tightened it up. Still couldn't find a way to fit in Alexandrite or Sardonyx.

Wish I had the talent to perform it or the software to write a beat for it.

Man the Kotaku Pokemon Go article topic is only two pages long and already the dumbassery is starting. I'm kind of surprised given the events of the past week - I thought it would have taken longer or been dumbassery free. The majority of the topic seems in a good place though - hopefully it stays that way.

Evening fam. Hope everyone is keeping safe.

I just pre-ordered No Man's Sky on GOG.

I did it now, cause i know i would end up forgetting to do it later. LOL.
Howdy, folks..

Morning gents.
Playing www 2k16 and it's a shame that with as many black people who work for the company it's hard to make brown skin tones in the game with out them looking actually black or orange.
I've found that's true with games that have a character creator, unfortunately.

I've yet to find a game that has my shade of brown in. 😞
Morning BCT.

The GO thread isn't too bad, it's mostly the "bad things could happen to anyone!" crowd, but they've been shouted down or ignored.

Anyone know how God Eater Resurrection is?

Or really anything about the God Eater games?

I often wonder what a god would taste like.

Had a nice walk; cooled off.

On the fence about No Man's Sky.

I played the first one on PSP; it was fun.

That's what I'm wondering about, I like hunting games casually but I can't muster up much excitement for the MHG demo. I'm just looking for something different.
 
The God Eater games have a greater focus on speed and customization. Faster pace all around, more emphasis on story as well. You can switch between melee and ranged at anytime too, which is nice.
