[QUOTE=Crimor;50363815]Everything you listed is 100% legal, except for g2a :v: They've been known to buy stolen keys wholesale before, like not "oh some kid stole a single game from a shop and sold them the code" but closer to "Oh some people stole a truck shipment and sold the codes"[/QUOTE] Oh. I did not know that.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;50361175]I'd be shocked because it would imply the US government is competent enough to do it I honestly don't get conspiracy theorists. They're often the same sort of people who think that the authorities are incapable of fixing the roads, but are capable of orchestrating a giant convoluted scheme involving thousands (if not tens of thousands) of people in multiple nations and branches of governments and organisations[/QUOTE] It no use trying to convince somebody about realistic shit when they base their collective knowledge in paranoid fantasy that would make PKD hot under the collar. Theorists would just say the Feds being unable to fix the road is a disguise for their hyper-competence. I go on conspiracy forums. I've seen this nonsense before.
Video games can't be considered an art form so long as localization exists.

[QUOTE=Fapplejack;50368020]Translation =/= localization[/QUOTE] A lot of subtleties in language are lost in translation. Translating something is definitely localising it.
Steve Jobs should stop being idiolized. He was such a horrible, toxic person to everyone around him and caused nothing but misery for the people in his life. Perfect example of an absolute asshole.

i really don't like Overwatch's artstyle [editline]22nd May 2016[/editline] It's like pixar and splatoon got a baby, and it was hit by the generic bat.
I really don't like any of Blizzard's art direction; everything they do has a really cartoonish feel to it which I find offputting. Castles have to be ridiculously large, armor has to be ridiculously spiky, heroes have to have 6ft wide shoulders, tech has to be covered in glowing lights like... I get it, Blizzard. You like exaggerated stuff. It kind of stops being novel when literally every game takes the same approach, though.
Overwatch is probably my favorite blizz gave aesthetically, it looks great Not a huge fan of any of the warcraft games though

There's an image that's making rounds on the internet that's basically a naked man holding a naked child in a shower with a strange grayscale filter applied. You couldn't see anything but it raised a lot of eyebrows. The story behind the image is that some child was seriously ill to the point where it was difficult to wash alone, so the father had to take him in the shower with him to wash him off. People started posting it on facebook and ofc it was flagged for child porn so people started bitching about it because it isn't child porn. It reached the front page of imgur with a clickbait title with loads of comments saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the image. Really the only reason why it's popular is because it's edgy. The reason why the image was taken in the first place was because it's edgy.

[QUOTE=Noobaxe;50373381]I don't get it, what the hell is so wrong with a dad taking a bath with his daughter[/QUOTE] There is nothing wrong with a dad taking a bath with his son/daughter. That being said, when you a take a picture of that, you start to question the intent. In this case, I couldn't say for sure if the guy was trying to invoke a reaction or not. It's almost obvious that this wasn't meant to be sexual. But in the instance I was talking about before, the image was usually posted with little to no context. If context is provided, it usually included the person who took the image who is known to take pictures of mothers or fathers showering/bathing with their kids with a defensive backstory.

That idea has a lot of value, and your contempt of the image is just a bunch of contrarian hogwash.[/QUOTE] That's not challenging the perception of nudity, that's just showcasing it. I'm not a fan of art where it's only redeeming quality is to provoke a reaction, that's really my whole point of my unpopular opinion. And that being said, there's plenty of art and literature that does an incredibly good job at, this is an example where it doesn't. To me, art that tries too hard to invoke a negative reaction comes off as cheap. To me, it's equivalent to tabloid media or clickbait youtube videos.
