After 11 years of making pizza I can say anchovies are best topping.

I don't think Undertale was anything special or even that unique of an experience. I still think it's great and all but nothing really stuck to me.

Pokemon is boring as fuck when not played in an emulator at x4 or x8 speed.
People who laugh at their own jokes are despicable. If your joke is really good, don't bring your own laugh tracks so that retards know when to laugh. The best delivery to any joke, regardless of whether you created it or not, is deadpan. Everything else is gimmicks.
And for crying out loud do not, ever, backtrack in storytelling. Backtracking in a joke is never anything less than aborting the joke altogether.

[QUOTE=Sector 7;49848774]"Weapon condition" is a stupid gameplay mechanic[/QUOTE]
I have found weapon condition is fine if the point of it is to have you cycle between many weapons on the fly so you're basically improvising your weaponry, like what happens in Dead Rising.
It's terrible when the game expects you to continually repair the same weapon, though. This is almost killed SS2 for me until I disabled it completely, and it really does hamper on other games that have it that are really great otherwise, like TW3 and Bloodborne.
How not to do weapon condition: Far cry 2
Fire one shot from a gun you find on the ground= jam
Decide for some reason not to go to the arms dealer to grab a new one and fire 10 more times= GUN EXPLODES
Also, the autoshotgun and .50 cal sniper degraded so fast you could watch them get rustier every time you shot them.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49846448]Also the "SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT." shit is dumb.[/QUOTE]
I like the idea of the repeating SUPER HOT voice, but it's so obvious that's its just the voice of a nerdy programmer who modulated his voice a bit and called it a day. The same soundclip has been used since the 7-day FPS challenge, so it was justifiable then because of the time constraints, but when I watched the trailer for the fully budgeted game and heard the same idiotic sounding voice I couldn't believe it.

To be honest I can understand why people do this especially if they order from somewhere like pizza hut where the food is so greasy it makes you feel like you need to wash your hands just looking at it
In Italy the pizza it's usually ate with a fork and knife if you are in a restaurant or otherwise attending a formal occasion, while with your hands for any other situation

Grape or cherry tomatoes could work just fine in a fruit salad depending on what fruit's it's using.
[QUOTE=discofex;49847229]After 11 years of making pizza I can say anchovies are best topping.[/QUOTE]
I have yet to try them on pizza but I think anchovies in general are actually pretty okay, if a bit too salty. (Though that's saying a lot because I have a very high tolerance for salt in my foods.)

Also pizzas that are so heavy in toppings they're going to just fall apart if you try to eat them by hand.

Still waiting for you to deconstruct second and third wave feminism for me, Rangergxi; I'm genuinely interested in what you think of as feminism
Second wave feminism took a one sided view on gender issues. This one sided view on gender lead to female supremacy, transphobia in the form of womyn pure womyn and straight up man hating. Andrea Dworkin, Valerie Solanas and Amanda Greer best represent this feminist movement.
Third wave feminism also took a one sided view on gender but instead of falling onto female supremacy (still around but thinly veiled) they took on the idea that we should grant women special treatment and privileges to right the wrongs of the past. Although many of them don't hate men they'll gladly ignore issues that affect men such high suicide rates, work deaths, homelessness, family court issues, draft and a mountain of other issues to focus on women.
Both of these types of feminists coexist today and mix up making things extremely confusing but we basically have contradictions everywhere and a complete disregard for mens issues. We see Feminists shout "Free the nipple" while marching barechested who then go on to demand that a game with a lewd avatar be censored. We see Feminists demand equal treatment while actually meaning special treatment, etc. I think the best personifications of third wave feminism are Professor Judy Haven and Brianna Wu. The widely celebrated and praised Anita also makes a good representation.

I've noticed that womens studies is largely unscientific while researching the wage gap. They take statistics and immediately focus on how to interpret them in a way that makes women look disadvantaged while discarding any unnecessary details that might contradict their narrative. They're also really happy to threaten and silence people such as Christina Hoff Sommers, Ayaane Hirrsi Ali and Erin Pizzey who go against their narrative.
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jjVvR36Ueg[/url] definitely summarises it best.[/quote]
Anyway I neglected to address this.
The idea that third wave feminism is against men is pretty much false. A lot of feminist concepts that effect women (Such as rape culture, toxic masculinity, and gender roles) have a lot to do with men as much as women. The thing is it mostly falls upon men to right these "errors", although women can perpetrate these negative concepts just as much as men. Things like Toxic Masculinity effect men in ways like how, say, if you're a young boy and are emotional about something, you'll be made fun of by your peers or even by a negligent authority figure and are told to "quit your crying" and "be a real man". (I'm sure most men here can attest to an experience like this at some point in their childhood). It's mostly men who do this to other men (And has been from what I experience) but toxic masculinity can blur a woman's view on how someone isn't behaving like a "correct man".
Now rape culture is another issue that can be attributed to effecting men wrongly. Rape culture is basically the idea that society tries to "excuse" rape. Not outright accept, because if you ask any person who participates in rape culture they'll generally say "Oh yeah of course rape is bad", but the thing about rape culture is it's about behaviors people do that make rape victims feel belittled and unaccepted. Things you can hear from republicans a lot (I'm pretty sure there's a website on republican rape apology even). Things such as "Oh, she was asking for it/shouldn't have gotten drunk/wore certain clothes/behaved a certain way" and generally all sorts of victim blaming things. The problem is rape victims can hear this from friends and family and won't want to want to come out and report the rape because of this societal attitude. This effects men as well! Where male rape victims are seen as "weak" and belittled, because being put into a submissive position as a male is "Wrong" and "embarrassing", and if raped by a woman (Which most raped males are committed by other men, but that doesn't mean women can't rape) they'll be seen as "Lucky". See any Facepunch thread ever where a female teacher rapes a male student (Luckily this attitude has died down).
Third wave feminism especially is about deconstructing gender roles society has set up for both men and women and how they impact our lives and how we view others. For example, if a man and woman who were both equally qualified apply for a hard-science related position, such as engineering or computer science, the woman is less likely to be considered for the job. Also studies on how if the gender unknown, women write code on par and almost better than men when looked at by professionals in the field, while if the gender is known the women perform much worse when a professional in the field looks at it. Also just things like suicide rates of men, why men commit vastly more violent crime then women. I'm sure there's other ideas for this like maybe men trying to be elementary school teachers or social workers or something, I haven't looked into studies on that much though.
The main problem with all this isn't the theories themselves, it's how (mostly straight men) are unwilling to accept these ideas. They look feel like they victimize themselves and get very defensive at some "Feminist conspiracy" to bring them down when feminists aren't necessarily blaming men on a personal level, they're blaming the societal attitudes as a whole that we have on men and women. All feminist ask is be concious of these theory, maybe adjust your attitude, and try and live healthy and be aware of these things so you can fix them in your life. It's encouraging men to follow masculinity in a healthy way and have better attitudes gendered issues. Like we have a lot of inherent bias we consider for both genders that impact us negatively, feminism is trying to change that to the benefit of both men and women.
There have been a lot of sociological studies like how men and women percieve rape victims (Men tend to be anti-victim while women are pro-victim in "how a rape could be prevented", and both genders are very anti-victim when it comes to homosexual rape)
Seriously, Reddit.com/r/MensLib is a feminist subreddit with a lot of men who want to address men's issues with feminist theory. /r/MensRights doesn't do anything to address Mens Rights and mostly just complains about feminism with maybe like setting up a charity for men or something thrown in and maybe goes "Mens suicide rates!". The thing about just going " suicide rates!" is that these "Mens Rights Activists" make no effort to try and address WHY men have higher suicide rates, they just say men have higher suicide rates our life sucks I hate feminism. Oh, and they overinflate false rape accusations. And complain about toxic masculinity without actually saying toxic masculinity, then proceed to shit on the feminist theory of toxic masculinity.
If you want some anecdotes of rape culture, here's a good start

I found the far cry 2 weapon system amazing when it came to weapon degradation. You're in a place with really worn secondhand stuff, and most of it shouldn't be working properly to begin with. (with the exception to the autoshotgun and the 50 cal, because I agree with that part wholeheartedly.)
