indie games survey (for english project)

[frostoria.livejournal.com]

Gah, looks like I'm too late again. Will probably post this again tomorrow, but for now, could you guys help me out? I need survey responses for my English project on marketing indie games, and I would really appreciate it if you can take the time to fill out the survey. Only takes a minute or two. Thank you!

Link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QB9C2R5

(or alternatively, tell me where I can post the link and have a good chance of getting responses)

Grow a fucking backbone. Seriously, just do it. Now is the time. Be a fucking mensch and a vertebrate now, or resign yourself to being a sorry doormat for the rest of your life.

Stand up for what's right God damn it

[wauwy]

rme, OP clearly knows what the right thing to do is, but is too cowardly to do it, and feels ashamed about it. So no.

That won't happen. They have to keep their men away from those sinful women parts!

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

I do this too, and sometimes I refer to myself in the third person ("Come on, nonnie! You're being silly about this, pull yourself together! Now, do you want to go make cupcakes? Yes. Yes I do. Then let's go make cupcakes.") but I usually only do that when I'm sad and don't have anyone to talk to, or have a really big thing I don't want to do looming. It would probably sound bad to an outsider, but I do know that there is only one of me and it's the same me giving the pep talks and bad advice (well, bad for my teeth, at least) and receiving it.

[wauwy]

Here maybe this will help

To be fair, everyone in that town was singing about how she was beautiful but a freak, so she was actually right.

Ugh, this. There was this one nineteen year old Puerto Rican woman that would threaten to beat my twelve year old face in if she ever caught me outside. She'd yell things like "Salvation arm trash" at me, and other shit in Spanish when I was coming home from school. I used to live right next to the housing's basket ball court, and so the Hispanic residents would do shit like egg my windows, empty out trash bags onto my back steps, beat my metal door in with a basket ball, etc. I was twelve when a group of them chased me down and pelted me with rocks. I ended up getting hit straight in the eye with one and ended up getting Iritis from the trauma. I now have scaring in my left eye and cataracts in both eyes.

They also used to use what they called 'pea shooters'. It was the top of a tonic bottle sliced off with a balloon attached to the top. They'd use small rocks or hard, uncooked peas/beans and fire them at me. They hurt so bad. I was thirteen when one of the sixteen year olds punched me in the face for raising my hands up to my eyes when he jumped into my personal space. And for a few months I had to live with a family that would not allow me to enter my front door. They would stand right in front of it and spit at me, or call me filthy names.

It's still hard for me not to loathe people like them to this day, even though I know that isn't fair.

[wauwy]

I agree with this. She's enthralling, and I say this as a Princess Aurora stan (just her character design).

Speaking as someone with zero interest in or understanding of sex outside of a committed, exclusive relationship... I profoundly don't understand this sentiment. Why does a person's choices of what to do with their bodies make them shameful or morally deficient? Seriously, I don't get it. Imagine this scenario:

Woman: "Hi! You're cute."

Man: "Thanks! So are you."

Woman: "I was wondering, are you single?"

Man: "As a matter of fact, I am! I won't be in town for very long, though."

Woman: "That's perfect; I'm actually looking for a short-term arrangement."

Man: "Sounds good to me. Just so you know, I've had a recent STD test, which came back clean, and I've got condoms."

Woman: "Great! Same here with the STD test, and I'm on the pill -- though I also brought condoms."

Man: "Where would you feel most comfortable doing this?"

Woman: "Your place, if you don't mind me giving my friends the address for emergencies."

Man: "Sensible precaution; no problem. Here you go."

Woman: "Thanks! I'm looking forward to the sex!"

Man: "Me too."

What exactly is either of them doing that is bad, shameful, or wrong? I don't get what you want to judge them for, or why you object so strongly to people saying that these hypothetical people shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of their actions.

It's not just an "opinion." Not enjoying spicy food is an opinion. Not enjoying American football is an opinion. Thinking that people who have lots of sex/enjoy casual sex/dress in a way that makes them appear sexually available are bad and should feel bad is not just an opinion. It's imposing your personal preferences and standards on others (even if only in silent judgment), and I don't understand why you think doing so is a good thing, or something to be proud of.

It doesn't convey that, though, and that's why it looks so freaky. She doesn't look overly thin or starving at all aside from a waist that is just randomly smaller than her head.

[elialshadowpine]

I can see not going out to see the sights (if I flew from here to Australia I would probably be dead for the better part of a week) but the scene at the gathering is baffling to me. I mean... I could certainly understand needing to take a break and recharge because meeting lots of people all at once is stressful if you have social anxiety but... having to livestream a TV show? Unless that was an excuse because she was too embarrassed to talk about the anxiety (and I have run across people who do that), that makes no sense. o.O

[wauwy]

lol... who have you been talking to? Every straight male I've ever asked, without exception, lists Jasmine as the sexiest Disney princess. Some of them like Belle too, but Ariel is hardly ever on the list.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, she did kind of set her guard tiger on that one suitor, so her actions weren't limited to words. But guy was such a cruel asshole earlier in the movie (about to whip some kids for getting in his way) that I'm willing to bet he did something to earn it, so overall I agree.

[wauwy]

I feel like I should be high for this conversation...

[elialshadowpine]

^ this.

I have to say the culture I have seen on a lot of anon memes scares the fuck out of me, esp the ones that consider themselves social justice focused (because the extent that people will go to when they think they're doing it cause they're right is fucking terrifying). But the OP could at least talk to the fan that did them a good turn in private.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

DA

The thing is, I also view sex as an extremely intimate thing... for me. If other people don't feel the same connection that I do between emotional intimacy and sex, and consider protected casual sex to simply be a form of physical recreation, why is that stupid? I could see thinking someone stupid if they had the same sex=intimacy feelings that I did and still had casual sex, because they'd be making themselves highly emotionally-vulnerable to people they didn't know. But if sex doesn't have those attributes in their mind? Then I don't see what's stupid about it.

Nor do I expect everyone to have exactly the same preferences and priorities that I do; someone isn't stupid or immature for having butter-pecan as their favorite ice cream flavor, even if it seems blatantly obvious to me that chocolate is far superior. But it seems like you think a person is stupid and immature if they don't relate to sex emotionally in the same way that you do. Why?

Re: Flight or Invisibility, F!S?

[sirenssong]

Well if people don't shoot me down and try to do experiments on me: flying for sure. If there is a possibility of becoming a lab rat: invisibility.

Same. I mean, flying would be awesome... but incredibly noticeable.

Until they ask something like "Uh, I forgot to scan picture X, do you still have it?".

[(Anonymous)]

The fact that you basically make your friends waste their time by drawing stuff for you which you hate is what shitty about this.

[wauwy]

A condition with which you are apparently familiar.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

[(Anonymous)]

Whereas I thought it was much more likely that one of these two was the OP of that thread, what with the body- and behavior-policing and judging.

[wauwy]

lol bless the pith of this secret. Refreshing.

Oi, this. Being overweight, while it can make itself a problem, is more often symptomatic of other problems. Trying to "fix" the weight alone often does more harm than good, so it's a lot more affective to treat the underlying problems and getting a person to their personal healthy body, whatever size that may be.

That said - if you compared the veggie anon above with me physically, people would probably say I'm the healthier one. And they'd be wrong. Just because I'm an average size doesn't mean I don't have health problems - and I'm probably lighter now than I was when I was an athlete and healthy simply because muscle weighs more than fat. In the same vein, just because somebody is overweight doesn't mean they actually have any problems at all!
