>They were learning to commit crime as part of the family activity. It's what they did. Rooster Bogle would take his sons out once a week or so to visit a prison near Salem, Oregon where they lived, a great, big prison on the outskirts of the city, and point to the prison and say, "Look carefully, boys, because when you grow up, this is where you're going to live."
They didn't take that as a warning. They took that as a dare, and they figured that was what they were supposed to do.
Kirara, M.S.
>In the resulting book, In My Father's House: A New View of How Crime Runs in the Family it sounds interesting but i am very much bothered by this
FormerRei@mobile
It follows a specific family.
Kirara, M.S.
>When I talked to some criminologists about it, their feeling was that a lot of American criminologists are almost afraid to focus on the family as a cause of crime because, until very recently, you would have been accused of being a racist if you suggested that there was a family connection or a biological or genetic connection to crime. this is also patently false
>>584334 which is why it's not a "new view of how crimes runs in the family" that title implies a new criminological theory which this cannot and should not be
family was more-or-less ignored for the past 20-30 years because it was considered a done deal we had social learning theories to explain the family's impact this guy doesn't know what he's talking about at all
i have been to and presented symposia at criminological conferences lmao this guy probably should have gone and actually met the people doing that work and tried to learn something
Anno
Guess I might as well watch an episode of slime guy while I'm up
>>584362 I only watched it because Misaka Mikoto's va voiced the mc. Also do you know why it didn't sell? Cause I have a really good one sentence explanation of its poor sales.
Marsh-chan
I couldn't possibly imagine.
Anno
give me the sentence I crave
FormerRei@mobile
It had too much semen eating for the family values crowd and too much family values for the semen eating crowd.
Anno
yeah I can understand that
Marsh-chan
wholesome semen eating is a limited marketing niche I'll give you that

i think i need to start looking for another revenue stream i haven't received any work in 10 days

would you want something else you can do online?
月
yeah im almost completely crippled at this point so that'd be the extent of my options
what would you do if a small animal ran away with the book omcw you found it once
Anno
There's a pretty sizeable spider out in the front of my house. Well sizeable for 'round here at least. I wanted to take a picture of it but my phone's battery has been being really buggy if it gets too cold. And letting it charge for a bit will probably kill my interest in taking a picture.
i got a text from fish saying she wanted me to wear a ring so i thought she was agreeing to marry me but she just wants me to wear a ring so people don't hit on me???
Anno
Well it does turn off some people. Others though it only inspires them more.
I've tweaked the difficulty on Odyssey from Nightmare down to Hard. It's partially because the escort quests are absolutely hopeless on it. I see an enemy rushing the escortee and before I can turn my body around they've already ran a sword through the escortee.
Kirara, M.S.
i figured out how to do conquest combat with an assassin build
Kirara, M.S.
the third tier had a skill that does 60-100% of assassin damage and you can use it in combat so you can basically play defensively to gain adrenaline and then just slam people with like 10-20k damage
Anno
Yeah, I saw that one. Didn't think to get it since I got the charged assassination skill. Which pretty much allows you to assasinate any enemy around your skill level even on Nightmare as long as they're not a bounty hunter. I didn't expect to hit one of these conquest fights so shortly afterwards, hah hah.
Kirara, M.S.
haha yeah the conquest fights can be pretty rough if you're invading but you get good loot
the loot doesn't super mater though because you get legendary equipment from [redacted] assassinations
I've been joining Twitch streamers for Dragalia and things have gotten much easier in terms of finding people to play with But now I have run into the stamina problem...
I found a cool precursor-y ruin on an island. They had a neat trick set up where a bit of floor gives way on you on your way to a normal treasure chest and the space in the underneath is too smooth to be natural cave wall. And then after a long dive into a caldera there's a bunch of ruined glowy pillars. I love unexpected exploration like this.
>>584460 that's really cool i found some precursor-y ruin where there was this really big door and as i approached it, it sounded like something massive slammed into the door, and kassandra was like "yikes! what was that?!" but i couldn't get in yet but there was somewhere i could look through the door and it looked like a really big cave area i bet there's some kind of crazy fight like a cyclops or something
i'm gonna play without the in game map and use the physical map and the directions people give me to find stuff i'm really excited full immersion modo
Anno
It's a really cool concept. I'm hoping with games like Odyssey and RDR2 doing stuff like that, it might incentivize other developers to offer it as an option again. Like imagine Bethesda going back to offering navigation like that for the eventual Elder Scrolls VI. I'd be so fucking on board.
Kirara, M.S.
it feels like after so many years of games making everything incredibly casual, devs are finally realizing that you can give everyone what they want by having a casual mode and an exploration mode
even spider-man actually had some parts where you only had vague ideas of where something was (e.g. north harlem by a bridge) and you had to swing around and find the right bridge
im having another fight with fish i guess she wants me to wear a ring so people don't give me their number and i told her the only way im wearing a ring is if she marries me and she's acting like im being unreasonable like, if // you can't sit there and act like that if you're not willing to do the same like, my girlfriend wants me to pretend to be married instead of just marrying me? what's with that? it's really not fair to me we were arguing about it so i told her im done talking about it and id talk to her tomorrow it's so weird she's been really weird about our relationship since i asked her to marry me it's like she wants me to be married to her but she doesn't want to go to the same length i don't understand it and she won't communicate with me about it either
this relationship is the only thing keeping me connected to civilization i love her but i can't keep living like this and if it's going to go bad, then im probably just going to fuck off to a forest
It does feel like you get prepositioned a fair bit though. If she has some insecurity concerns I can kind of see how she might be worried about losing you because of that.
I dunno man relationships aren't exactly my area of expertise. I personally though would rather you stay connected to civilization so if her relationship with you is the only thing keeping you around I'd rather you stay in it. So there's a selfish voice saying to me that wearing a ring isn't a big deal if it makes her happy. And unless you enjoy the prepositions I don't see how it's really a detraction from your daily life. The meanings of things like this are wholly what you make of it, and that, to me at least, means it's not really a big deal to wear one.
That and if you start thinking the relationship's going to go south, I feel it's going to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Which if it's what you want, okay, but.
I do agree that if she wants you to bear a symbol of commitment she should make a similar effort. It'd be nice if you could at least both agree to an engagement.
FormerRei@mobile
I think I finally going to start playing a gacha game. Maybe
>>584490 i can't be the only one working in this relationship that's just not how relationships work i desperately need this relationship and im just worried that she's going to wreck it with her little weird things because she won't talk about them every fight we've had since she got back has been because she's being weird and unreasonable it's so stressful
FormerRei@mobile
Health Health wise how is she doing?
Kirara, M.S.
slowly getting better can't talk still physically weak
I usually get a front row seat so it's not as relaxing
Anno
Unless by front row seat you mean outside in the storm, I dunno. As long as I'm dry it's a soothing experience for me. Even in a car in torrential rain is kind of nice, providing I'm not the one driving through it, hah hah.
Anno
Oh joy I forgot my washing was on the line I guess I was talking about how close and loud the bolts get to the house I don't know if living on the hill makes you exposed to more strikes but I still don't like when you get those ones where it sounds like it was 100m or so away
I should fetch a copy of Isle of Dogs, I completely forgot about that movie
Anno
Yeah, if it's out of theatres I'd be interested in seeing what it's about. There's a couple movies I'd like to maybe watch if I have the time this week.
>>584540 Oh no, sorry, I know what the synopsis is. I meant more like to its quality.
It was that Wes Anderson film from a while ago It's set in Japan, where a dog flu outbreak forces the dogs of the city to be sent to a trash Isle for quarantine Our protagonist flies over to the Isle to search for his dog
Anno
I've never seen a Wes Anderson movie either. Though a few of them have been ones that piqued my interest at the time.
Anno
I vaguely remember seeing The Life Aquatic Fantastic Mr Fox is really good though and Isle of Dogs is done in that vein From what I can remember it was received pretty well Even the Japanese speakers are done well despite the complaint of no subbing
Anno
Fantastic Mr. Fox looked really neat to the young me when it came out in theatres. But I never saw it since I haven't really ever done a lot of theatre-going. Other than that I know a few of his movies by name but I've never seen any of them.
>Brother, look at the sum of the assets before 20 minutes

/moe/ someone i care about a lot was really hurtful to me today and i feel really down can you post things that you think are cute to make me feel better
Probably just warioware I was hoping to replace the casing on my 3ds but the only place that I buy those is online now
月
someone gave me their ds but without the charger i went to walmart multiple times to look for a charger but they only had car chargers, and i had no car there was a spot for an outlet charger but after six months it never got restocked it was such a discouraging feeling
Anno
The charging port on mine is too worn to be charged normally I had to buy the cradle to charge it
Anno
>>584621 Yeah Nintendo can be pretty annoying with their accessories imo
bang but this time he's better
I appreciate all the cute posts you guys are more than i deserve thank you maybe tonight doesn't have to be so bad
I had a dream I was in the military in boot camp and jan was there and some girl was there and she gave us yogurt but i said i was allergic to pineapple and she threw it in my face and jan was just like "the blackberry yogurt is pretty good man" and then some boot campy dude came over and called me a maggot so i said fuck you, the army is gay and got kicked out
Anno
you have more interesting dreams than I do I'm always stuck in high school era in my dreams
>>584643 part of my dream involved tn posting a part of my map he fpund funny repeatedly while i thought about an enemy rncpunter that you guys complained was too hard
There was one time they got owned in the previous campaign but that was about it.
Anno
the only time I remember is those dinos that were more difficult than the boss of the dungeon but I was drunk for every single session so my memory is not so good.
In my current trpg campaign we got sent to "investigate" some mountain where monsters live. But investigate is code for "kill them all" but one of the characters gets mad at my character for killing the monsters.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>584692 >betray a super wizard >with another wizard >decide to kill the second wizard
Kirara, M.S.
we didn't betray anyone
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
you stole the axe after Charlotte told you like 50 times she ain't giving that to Gandora
Cause the player likes playing "noble" like characters. Like a knoght that can never attack first. Or that same knight who can't take a flanking bonus. Or literally the knight class in 3.5 which isn't very good and he shouldn't have picked it for his class.
At your current state fighting either of them would be tantamount to suicide except one of them can't fight you without it being nonlethal and self-defense.
Kirara, M.S.
let's kill my mom
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
now why would you do that
FormerRei@mobile
Why wouldn't he?
Kirara, M.S.
maybe mom won't give me the rock maybe ill eat mom and the Tree
>>584725 I am just going to ignore how if it was an actual nezyme and it could melt both organic and inorganic materials easily, that it would also REACT with itself and explode
FormerRei@mobile
>>584725 If you eat a magic item do you gain its powers?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM THAT IDEA GANDORA'S STORE IS 100% MAGIC ITEMS
Kirara, M.S.
i already had that idea i was just waiting for the right time to find out
I think "you can't be killed" is a pathway to fates far worse than death
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
To be fair, Charlotte currently cannot even attack you. Or hurt you.
If you'll recall she breathed fire towards Lee and it was diverted by reality The contract is reality-binding.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
she can say open up a hole in the ground allow us to fall and then fix the hole and keep us trapped there forever untill we die no direct damage or hurt
Kirara, M.S.
we could cut off her limbs and head and leave her as a head forever since she can't die
FormerRei@mobile
>>584751 Cutting off limbs is always a good solution.
It's come to my attention I know what happens if you hurt Charlotte. I don't know how Gandora handles injury offhand. >>584767 nice
Kirara, M.S.
>With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.
a client i met yesterday came to the clinic today, drunk, and very upset that i did my clinical duty and assigned him to 14 sessions of DUI group treatment
I left the weeaboo coffee mug out in the common area.
Anno
Once you make a mistake like that though, it's pretty liberating. If they're gonna judge you, might as well just stop trying so hard to keep things under wraps.
>>584816 I wonder where the phone camera was focusing in this pic
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the clouds?
Marsh-chan
Yeah. I'd get much better shots if I ever spent the time figuring out how to use the settings instead of relying on the automatic ones the auto focus is a real bitch when you want to take a picture of something close up but also want to feature the background. I'll figure it out one day. Maybe. Eventually.
>>584827 and how you gotta find clues and stuff? it's so cool
Koi, MFA
>>584828 The girl on the top right is the one I 5* and now they are bringing out a halloween version of her
Koi, MFA
I have to roll her.
Anno
>>584829 Yeah I love I N V E S T I G A T I N G. Plus once you have the clues you can rip their mask off and get what I assume is a map blip. Or just go find them yourself maybe. Alternatively maybe they just don't spawn if you don't unveil them, I guess I'll see when I go hunt down the one in Megaris.
>The extras were denied their break after two hours of work and started banging on the subway doors asking to be let out as many needed to use the restroom. The lack of being allowed to leave the subway car led to some resorting to urinating on the train tracks through small spaces between the cars.

i should sleep i work in like two and a half hours
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
you sure have either short days or switching work slots
Though I think they are, if that is aimed at the fan complaints, missing the point as far as I have heard of the topic. Most people complain changing the characters THEY know and are familiar with to fit modern stuff, rather than introducing new characters that fit those models
well their sales are dropping, but the question really is, is it because of their treatment of fans and >>584920 said kind of stuff or just because all print media sales in the west are dropping
Kirara, M.S.
their sales have increased in response to more progressive comics they became progressive in response to lowering sales they changed to fit the changing demographics of comics readers lol
What would you do if you got transported into a video game...with your mom?? That's the dilemma facing high schooler Masato Oosuki, who has been unwittingly thrown into an RPG world with his doting mother close behind as part of a secret government scheme. As an avid gamer, Masato is eager to show off his skills...but that's hard to do when your mom is an insanely overpowered, dual-wielding, multi-target specialist!

Fuck this is a cheap spell combo >on left hand backlash: enemy spell if offensive cast on self, if positive cast on you >on right hand curse of silent: steals 10 mana every second enemy is not casting a spell
I got kind of charmed by Pillars of Eternity but I don't know if I can go back to the agededness of the old isometric CRPG games. So I'm definitely curious about Kingmaker.
>>584969 I managed one playthrough of the whole story, though I missed out on some of the end-game optional stuff. Maybe in time I could do another playthrough but there aren't really enough differences in the game 's different class/stat differences to make new playthroughs fresh.
>>584974 yeah but if you refund multiple times they'll give you a warning saying they might revoke your refund eligibility if you abuse the system and that seems sketchy to me also if you end up playing for two hours and one minute and decide you don't like the game that much you're shit out of luck a hard time limit would be more convenient
Anno
oh dragon's dogma is only 9 bucks on steam that's a really good game if any of you haven't played it
I still hate blizzard for adding a hard cap on the amount of skeletons you can ress

please use skeletons responsibly >>585070 thank you i am goin to check it out rn

Anno
>>585076 hey tilde what is the anime tonight going to be?
>>585076 well what did you guys watch last saturday // er wednesday
Anno
>>585079 I think last Wednesday we might've been doing catch-up. The new season kicked off pretty heartily last week and this week we've just been scrambling around watching a lot of stuff. There's like twenty or so shows to watch I have no clue what will get picked.
We still have the finale of Hanebado! and Starlight to watch though so if you're around tonight we can probably get those two watched.
Kirara, M.S.
jan did you watch gridman yet
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>585076 what if xerxes was actually dragon that animated his hoard to fight for him?
>>585076 Also >hordes of persia I hope that game actually hilights how Persia was actually more advanced than the Greek citystates in EVERY way as they actually were
>>585077 As far as I know what we watch tonight could be anything from this. As always if there's no number it's whatever episode is most recently aired. Some of this stuff is in its second episode.
>>585095 I don't think it was offensive enough to get dropped. It was kind of boring, but I think it fits neatly into that comfy autism niche that Rika likes to try and get a show of every night. There's a lot of backlog to burn through so who knows what we'll get to today
Kirara, M.S.
are y'all actually gonna watch space fishing
Kirara, M.S.
haha it was sooooooooooooooooo bad like 4/10 imo I can't imagine watching any more of it
Anno
>>585094 i thought double decker was really good i have banana fish and hanebado and starlight now
Anno
>>585096 I don't know if I'd cut it that low. It's certainly not good, but like I said, not offensively bad. We've finished worse shows. And we're still watching Black Clover after all.
>>585097 If you're here tonight we can definitely do those three shows. Maybe even Double Decker episode three if that works out for Rika, I'unno.
Kirara, M.S.
fair enough y'all have a better tolerance for horrifyingly bad shows i don't have the time or patience
Anno
You should watch Double Decker if you've got time Kirara. The main oji-san is a commie that wants to eliminate class and poverty from the world. Though he's also on a special police task force hah hah.
Getting to interact with Herodotus in Odyssey is pretty great. This guy was the first "real" historian of the western world, more interested in telling the stories of the past as actual events and not tales of myth.
>>585109 unfortunately, we've gone right back to telling stories and myths instead of real history, haha
Anno
Pretty much. Maybe this whole affair is what makes him get over telling myths and want to talk about REAL HISTORY.
Kirara, M.S.
he's really concerned with the precursors
Anno
Barnabas is one of the best side characters so far though. It's like, >There's a cult that controls most of the Greek world and they want to kill my mother and it's being lead by my brother, I think >"By Zeus, your family is complicated!"
you know i would be a lot more freaked out if i woke up in some house i don't know with no memories and keep seeing things only I can see this guy seems kinda whatever about it
I wonder could you weak up not remembering anything, but not think that it is odd? >>585120 depends a year ago you could get mafia style blackmail letter with "pay us 500-5000 or WORSE", but that is thankfully illegal now I'd recommend using VPN if you pirate a lot
Kirara, M.S.
people in a fugue state usually don't remember anything but just do stuff as if it were natural to no affective response to memory loss
>>585121 I do use a VPN but it's a shitty one that's always disconnecting and reconnecting so i feel like it wouldn't be that hard to figure out what I'm doing if anyone bothered to try
月
>>585122 i want a fugue state they're the best kind
Kirara, M.S.
>>585124 yeah same tbh fugue state is like the only good state
Anno
i'm in one 24/7 365 i don't remember what happened yesterday or last week

ive supposedly had them before but idk not anymore anyway i guess i wouldn't know
that's actually a joke i remember important things i just don't really remember when i do things i always do like work or go to the store or whatever i did lose a year or so when i was drinking heavily though i can't really recall a lot of what happened in 2014
月
is it normal to have high resolution recall of years past i dont (anymore) i guess it could be from drinking but i think it's just from not interacting with that information on many fronts so it's not being reinforced isolated and alone and absorbed in data structures, i dont have the past come to mind often i got other processes runnin not gonna clog up the speed by keeping that bloatware open at all times i'll just patch and update in the rare times i need to launch it
>>585123 isp's alone don't do a thing back theni t was just small time law firms making a buck by gathering data and selling premade cases to Intellectual property owners aside from TEOSTO being shitters about music, there aren't many cases where individuals are sued, unless they have been running huge upload numbers or piracy sites
Anno
>>585129 i feel like I can recall events pretty well if presented with external stimulus like photos or someone else's recount of events I'm not sure how distorted my memories of the past have become over the years though
月
oh ya for sure but i need that external input it's not internally organized for me somethin can pull it up but if it was just like bein questioned about what i was doing in a certain year i would have no idea
He's a good balance between serious and cloud cuckoolander. Most characters that are the latter tend to be more energetic and positive, but he's it while also being rather cynical and laidback. It's neat.
I'm hoping this tax return will help me deal with these bills I've got to pay I really need a second source of income though

Write slash fiction by commission.
Anno
>>585161 That's true I didn't consider that I would have to get past the database they have though >>585162 I had to look up what that was Sounds like fun though
Anno
You'd probably make better money if you did commission illustrations but suggesting stuff like that always makes people go "oh I could never learn how to draw" so I'm trying out slash fiction instead.
i don't have any plugs near where i hang out in my house I can use my portable charger but i don't have any days i don't need it for when i leave later
