That's an... odd game. I'm certainly happy that it is out there, that it exists, that someone made it. I'm just not 100% sure if the game is actually fun or not.
The combat is certainly stylistic, but, I worry that what is basically one button combat with three (I believe) weapons, even if you can vary attacks based on the rhythm you press the button and the duration you hold it, is going to lack depth and might get stale quick.
Yeah, I really wanted to like it because of the comparisons to Rez and the Kabbala themes but it just didn't grab me. Too button-mashy.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I thought it looked quite cool, but the combat was not my cup of tea. Shame.
You know, I get the rage at sexual and gender stereotypes, but to me there's a difference between saying "(so and so public figure who's blatantly fucking homophobic) sounds like Paul Lynde, I wonder if he's gay since gosh that would be ironic and point out the tragedy of societal pressure creating self-loathing amongst closeted gay folks" and saying "(so and so teenage boy) sounds like a sissy, let's ship him off to a therapist so he can pray the gay away since beating him up and threatening to kick him out hasn't worked."
This is a big argument in the queer community. When we go out into non-queer spaces, we see homos everywhere that are with their wives and children. Do we tell their families or do we let them walk both worlds in denial? It can be very frustrating.
How is this even an argument? The answer is no. You let the person self discover.
And what criteria are you using to identify the closet cases? Is it some sort of pre-defined set of traits that may or may not be accurate in every situation?
Oh, it becomes an issue when they try to define our community or attack or berate us or push ideologies that hurt us. Outrage is a pretty interesting documentary about a guy who actively outs congresspeople that are anti-gay. I don't necessarily agree with what he does, but when people who clearly are part of our community but want to pretend they aren't start trying to regulate us, I think something has to be done.
There is no good way to identify closet cases. Some closet cases have homosexual affectations that they have tried to cover up over time or they have an exaggerated straightness, or we totally saw them in the gay bar two days ago. It isn't systematic and no one runs around with a checklist but you can kind of tell when a young couple that just got Christian married to finally have sex is living a weird, played out lie.

I decided to assume they mean people they know for sure are gay by interacting with them.
Well, Fuzzy can speak for himself, but where I've encountered arguments like this is regarding gay men who are actively cheating on their wives.

LearnedHand keeps making new alts and posting in the internet dating thread. He just won't stop lately. He has the most noticeable writing style too. It's so easy to madlib his robot speech that is weirdly focused on race.

That's pretty much where I stand on the issue. I don't really care for "outing" public figures who aren't actively supporting homophobic groups or causes.
Forcibly outing a private citizen simply because they're still in the closet doesn't seem to serve any constructive purpose that outweighs the damage it could do.
I do not advocate outing people willy nilly. I do advocate ignoring people who play halfsies and will acknowledge me in the gay bar but not make eye contact in public.
Can Child of Eden be played with a controller? If so, is it better than with Kinect? Worse?
I haven't played it yet... but yes it can be played with a controller, and the reviews have said that to get the really difficult achievements you pretty much have to, but Kinect mode is more fun for casual play.

As a straight guy, I never understood the necessity or the concept of "coming out". I never had to "come out" about who I liked to bone. Largely because I felt that it was so completely unimportant that it's stupid.
Basically, I wish it was a situation where homosexuality isn't a thing to come out about. Or that sexuality itself wasn't a thing. Or that, we had separate definitions based completely on who likes to bone who because, under certain circumstances, anyone would be willing to bone anybody.
Put two super straight guys on an island forever and they will eventually get it on.
Labels are stupid. I guess. To sum it up in a childish manner.

We exist in the exact opposite of that ideal world, though. So it is kind of hard for us. ):

The most recent situation I encountered this with involved a gay man who was actively cheating on his wife with other men and had contracted an STI. Not HIV, but still a nasty little bug.
So then you're not just asking yourself, "should I out him for being gay," you're also asking yourself, "should I tell his wife that she might be at risk for contracting an STI?"
We can talk about these issues in abstract but there's often going to be major complicating circumstances for any real-life situation.

I would add that we have to come out because the assumption is that we are straight. I also argue that because we are minority, we have a unique cultural identity. That identity will probably integrate better as queers become more integrated.

Oh, wow. Hah! Yes.
Futurama had a little thing like, "People from Mars walk like this. Oooo. Ahooo. People from Earth walk like this. Owhuh. Owhuh." And, well, that's kind of a meme or something. And most folks I guess didn't know that that was a big time joke for a comedian back in the 80s.
I figured you were taking part of the meme! But it's pretty awesome that you just threw that out there.

Well no duh you never had to come out, you also never had to hide your sexuality. Your sexuality fell in line with what was accepted. You were always told that your sexual preference was right, normal, healthy, correct, whatever. Your sexual preference doesn't have giant, huge cultural stigmas against it, etc. Being openly gay can get you ostracized, harassed, even killed. Coming out isn't just about labels, its about coming to terms with your sexuality, owning your sexuality, proclaiming it, if even to a few people, etc.
Basically, I have developed a series of complex equations to determine how much of a fag you are and I am posting the results on a new website called www.everyoneyouknowissomesortoffag.com.
This was a discussion I had by the way, I have not and will never out random people. That would be terrible.
Do you have friends or personally know people who have outed closeted gays behind their back? Who put this idea in your head that this is a thing that should be done? Who represents the other side of the argument?
