So... here's a good training tool!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Anyway I'm feeling particularly snappish today so...meh. Ah hell. I'll just get it off my chest. Might make me feel better about it.
My aunt said that a pregnant lady in my cousin's colleagues church went to Tokyo and was told to go for a radiation check up on her return. The radiation results were too high and she was told to abort the baby and not have children for 5 years.
Now I know there's a lot of fake news going about etc, so yeah, what do you guys think?
I was planning to go and get that radiation test done, since I did go for a vacation in Japan. If I come out clean, then that's scientific proof that going there doesn't make you radioactive.
My BF said that he wouldn't believe it unless he talks to the person who was affected.
My aunt that sent me this message isn't the sort that spends the whole day spamming people with news, and I'm quite close to her.
Really, really, really unlikely to be true.
Could be a lot of reasons her "radiation levels" were high, and what's too high in regards to this particular case? I mean if she was really (acutely) irradiated I doubt she wouldn't be directed to a hospital in stead? And who tells a woman to abort a baby, unless she's in some kind of immediate medical danger, that only the termination of her pregnancy could save her from? Why would you caution her not to get pregnant again without a very good and medically sound explanation?Likewise she was in Tokyo, not staying next to the ruins of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (Which I kind of suspect is the excuse for this particular "radiation scare") while in Japan.
No your Bf's right here. There are far too many red flags with this "explanation" to just take it as true.

Also, if the radiation concern is from the nuclear plant disaster...well...the people doing the clean up and containment of the plant are living at the site.
The only real defense against fearmongering @$$holes is education. Aside, of course, from rounding up these fearmongering @$$holes and launching them from a catapult directly into a brick wall.

More accurately, I do have money, but I am being responsible and not spending it on things I can't afford, due to needing it later.

The abortion is for fear that the baby (and future babies) will have birth defects due to the radiation. How much is too much etc…have to go read up..
Whether the woman is really radiated or not…well that’s an entirely different issue altogether.

EDIT: This post was a follow-up of this post, and has nothing to do with the thing Mort is going through.
I wish to make that clarification.
--------------------------------------
ON THE GRIPPING HAND, they have "FF12 the Zodiac Age" (), "Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide," "Torment: Tides of Numeria," "X-Com 2," "Shadow Run - Hong Kong," Terraria, and Tyranny among others for 50% or more off, as well as things that I want, but aren't quite as intense on my list, like FF3, FF4, "FF4: The After Years," FF5, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF10/10-2, FF13, FF15, Transitor, Planescape: Torment, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Baldur's Gate, Bard's Tale, Torchlight II, Don't Starve, The Bard's Tale, I am Setsuna, Banner Saga 2, The Wolf Among Us, "Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogan" (not actually played or seen too much, but it looks pretty cool), "Ori and the Blind Forest," (similar to ST:BotS I've not played it; but I know it has a great soundtrack, though, I know this thanks to YouTube), and the entire Witcher series, and others - and not to mention, the stuff that's super-awesome, but not as well discounted.
ARG!
So many things on the wishlist... so little cash! ... and such a great sale!
... some day, dang it!
Also: you guys might want to look at the steam sale! XD
(In case it's not clear: I thought that many of you might share similar Wishlists, or at least have similar-enough-interests that you might want to look at some of those titles, since I happened to notice they're highly discounted! ;P)

We know.
It's also a load of absolute crap.
Whoever is telling her this is full of it. And by "it," I mean they are full of compressed and fully processed food-waste-product (plus other bodily waste products, such as dead blood cells, and more) useful to the body primarily for excretion from the rear sphincter that is bounded by lower cheeks that hang out around the top of a person's thighs, below the spine.
And none of that should be placed into another person.
Because it is poison.
... just like the rumors being spread.
Whether the woman is really radiated or not…well that’s an entirely different issue altogether.
No. It's not. If she is not irradiated, than she has no non-personal reason to seek an abortion, and is being bullied into something by someone with a personal agenda.
(OR... the entire story is a "scare-story," ala fake-news that can so readily and easily spread.)
This is a harmful lie, and if a woman is being pressured into this by said lie, it is an evil coercion and manipulation, actively deceiving her into something she doesn't want to do.

Am currently speed/no save running paper mario and TTYD, while I listen to the game grumps playthrough. Lets see how far I get...
Am currently just outside hooktail's lair.Even accounting for my break for dinner, I've been at it for roughly 5 hours now...
And I'm just approaching the end of chapter 2...
Granted 2-4 are all really long chapters but... I'm skipping all the dialogue and plowing through...
This game is very long for a 7 chaptered game.
Now begins my 6th hour of actual play time, following a short break to hang with friends on overwatch. This is going to have to sit overnight, but Imma do this eventually.
I'm in the Glitz pit, so dying isn't a game over if I remember right, and I've stocked up on life-shrooms...The next chapter is my biggest worry since it contains the only creature able to 1 shot a 10 hitpoint mario, and I prefer the badge point and Fp route.

It was good! Pretty straight-forward and basic, but a solid world-building exercise, and, what's more, you have a solid mechanic of "where things come from, and why" and it generates creative directions with a fresh - even excellently original! - takes on some of the races (for example, "dwarves descended from the sky" is not a take I've ever heard about them - awesome!), and it really works!
While some might have made a few creative decisions differently, over-all, it's a solid world-building experience, and it could be fun to play in!
The one thing you might want to do is create an in-world reason why any five of the races could adventure together as a singular party. As it currently stands, you've got a reasonable collection of raptorans, dwarves, and/or gargoyles, OR a reasonable collection of vishkanya and/or kobolds, but the two highly seperated groups should definitely not mix.
... ooooorrrrr, on the other hand, you might not! It might be a really interesting almost LotFR-type deal to have a deeply divided world with Snake Folk verses the Bird-descended folk. It depends on how you spin the whole conflict or build up the world from here.
In general, it's pretty great! Thanks for building and sharing! You should now try to build out from that, or, if you prefer, try again and roll up a new world!
(For example, this is my favorite that I've done, so far, but this one led to an alias and eventually led to two more, while now I'm working on number four! Fun times!)

...Hey now I put that in some context just below and to be fair I was in my teens years and everything in my teen years was a world ending disaster. Also I had a 15 year old manager and we charged about 5 dollars per slice of pizza that people waiting in line for 2 hours to get. I got cussed out A LOT. I thought one person was gonna jump me. (seriously the prices are on the board what did you expectAnd people claim God is being unfair when disaster strikes...Let me tell you about a job I had I worked at a concession stand at an amusement park. We were one of the first places you see when entering the park. As a result of this we had lines from the beginning of the day till the end. Endless flood of people throughout the entire day. I occasionally had to be on register. I hated register. but thats a different story sort of. Now on the walls were these large plastic dispensers that has NAPKINS written down them in LARGE bight print. Hanging from the dispenser was a napkin in plain view. One of these dispensers (they were everywhere) happened to be located just slightly to the right of me where I stood and took money. Right at eye level might I add. Still every other person that came through asked me Where are your napkins? This didn't bother me at first I would just lightly reach my hand out and touch the dispenser. however after doing this job for 3 months with untold thousands of people asking me the same thing day in and day out and begging the manager to stop putting me on register I quit before I strangled someone. (there was other reasons too but that contributed.)Ah well. That's a different story then. I'd just go sorry chum. We be sold out. But no need to get nasty about it.
There are lots of people who can't find their way to the cable car tower(it's at the back of my office building and there are signs pointing the way) and if I have time I actually escort them there.
Eh I have quite a bit different opinion on "God" I don't see it as a big grandfatherly person looking down on high. Its rather complicated but It ends up being a lot more like the force. I don't want to get to deep into it however I can get pretty agitating when I get going.

I would say both sides are pretty divided and nothing short of species ahnilation would force them together. Maybe aliens from outer space coming to nom everything on the planet. Those aliens could have been called in by some misguided idiot from any of the two factions trying to get a "Superweapon"
Or just do the how you get your faction to take over the world, Civilization style. The thing is that there's no good nor evil per se, both sides are to blame for their current respective messes.
So...

If I he had to pick between Baldur's Gate Infinity Collection, and Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age... which would you pick, and why?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
As a point of reference, I'm he's going to be getting the upcoming Kingmaker Game... some day quasi-soon-ish (whenever it finally comes out), so that actually is a point in favor of the "less similar" game experience of FF12:ZA... so I'm he's definitely kind of leaning that way.
But getting eleven (even really old) games for $25 is tempting, nonetheless.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Okay, it's only been, like, five minutes, but as painful as it is, I'm going FF12:ZA, instead of the other, this time. Oof.
But we have the budget, and it's a month-early birthday gift (wife's orders to acquire one), so huzzah!
FF12, at long last I will see the next entry in Ivalice canon!

Baldurs gate. Final fantasy got too grindy to unlock all the endings. Do you know how hard it is to unlock the perfect ending at FFX-2?
Hah! Too late! And I like multiple endings! Good stuff!

I never really did get the perfect ending for FFX-2 even with the guides I would always forget to do something.
I did love playing dress up with the class system however. I want a FF that works like Final fantasy tactics but with better graphics. heck I'd take a remake but I still want cloud!
