I liked heliboard. It doesn't require network access, has gesture typing that works well, though you have to manually add the library, lots of configuration, and some stuff I use all the time like slide on delete to choose how much to delete and slide on space to move cursor.
Basically it is both private and a pleasure to use (after configuring)
I've played FF8 more than any other FF and it's partially for what the author is complaining about.
I can see complaining about the battle systems because they're pretty loose, but personally I think it's fun to play anyway.
The complaint about the characters not having a much of a story I guess is technically true if you compare it to the hamfisted diversions from the main story a lot of rpgs do to force a story arc for a character, but all of the characters feel like they are part of the group for a good reason because of their back stories and they all grow during the game.
I would just have to disagree on the writing. The story is why I play the game every few years. In fact, counter to the author's claim that it is incoherent, almost everything you do has to do with the sorceresses and history of the garden, without ever feeling like you got sent on an inconsequential side quest in the middle of a crisis.
I don't think this is real, but if it is can you provide a link? I'm not finding anything easily with a search and randomly throwing out claims like this is not productive.
What misogyny is in those 2 games? Unless you think the sexualized character designs are inherently misogynistic I don't see it, and you mentioned it separately after listing the character designs so it seems that's not what you mean?
But it’s not the lack of a belief that any god exists. Not believing in something doesn’t get a name.
It literally is. You are just straight up wrong.
Atheism is specifically a response to the societal pressure to have a religion
The word existing is a response to the need to commonly describe it, but fundamentally it is no different than you other examples that don't have words. The existence of nonexistence of other words is not evidence of anything other than the frequency that they're useful.
OP’s actions
Probably didn't even happen, but even if they did it literally has nothing to do with the definition of atheism.
bald is a hairstyle.
This literally has nothing to do with describing belief.
It's not boiling down. Atheism literally is just a lack of belief that any god exists. There is no other associated belief.
All the various flavors of religion cannot be boiled down to "god exists". Each one at the very least describes the characteristics of the god(s) professed to exist, and a whole lot more.
So many people want to put atheism in the same bucket as religion, but it simply is not.
Agnosticism is the belief that it is impossible to know if there is a god
Atheism is the lack of belief that there is a god
Some atheists might assert that they know there is no god, but that is not the meaning of atheism, though some people call that "strong atheism"
On the flip side, one can be agnostic and think there is a god.
Being both atheist and agnostic (what some people call weak atheism) is the rational position given that there is no evidence for any god (or other supernatural phenomenon) existing, but that you also can't design an experiment that the result of would let you conclude a god (or other supernatural phenomenon) does not exist.
Occam's razor doesn't have anything to do with it. It is simply irrational to leap to believing things for which there is no evidence.
I mean looking up video game character skirts is harmless anyway. I imagine most people do it at some point or another. It's the puritanical shame that's the problem
They didn't understand the only reason people used it was because it was really cheap before they raised the prices. Most aren't super hardcore and play games over a few months so it became cheaper to just buy games again. It's stupid because they had no reason to try to make a sub model except that MBAs are morons and value recurring revenue more than just revenue in general
I think ps3 graphics are good enough any thing higher doesn't make me more immersed and pulling out of immersion to go "oooo pretty" is neat now and then but not that important. I'll say I do occasionally stop to be impressed by really good shadows though
The people who throw fits about stuff like that don't play the games in the first place
So you're just spreading misinformation.
