How is Bayonetta 2 NOT OUT YET?
Does anybody else have it yet? Or are P* more organised with a global release date compared to Capcom's jumbled dates?

According to the GAME website, it's out 24/10/14 (UK that is).

The best thing is, the page says 'Your selected format is Wii U'... it's the only format it's coming out on, I had to choose Wii U! :banghead:

I never got the concept of leaving alone/avoiding a female when they're upset. Mostly because, at least, she is happy that I care, and at most I'm able to help. Most of the time.

I find it especially d*ckish when you are her partner, and when they're hurt, instead of trying to help, you avoid and isolate them.
(Remember I said, "most of the time". I am well aware that some people just want to be left alone sometimes )

Just came across something weird on the net. This chick who says she hates male attention, but she gets implants in a huge size and sells pictures of her body to the same men that she hates attention from. This makes no sense to me.

Of course she will get attention and she knew it. All they care about are her tits, not her personality or anything else about her. That's pretty clear in the comments section. She has messages either asking for sex, or calling her fatty cow slut. Yikes!

It looks like one of those cases of bigger girl gets teased for her weight, so she gets fake tits to get attention from people who wouldn't care if she didn't have tits. And I bet when asked, these people who comment on her page would deny doing it because it would be seen as abnormal, weird or creepy.

Looking for validation inside the self is better than hiding the true body with plastic surgery. It's sad that women feel they have to do this to get attention, and the wrong kind of attention on top of that.

It also makes me think, does society really see bigger women as some kind of dirty fetish? It's like these women can't be legitimately desirable because they're bigger. No wonder they resort to playing into this fetish type because society says it's wrong to find bigger women attractive. It's called a fetish for goodness sakes, not regular attraction- a fetish.

And when people do own up to dating someone bigger, I've seen comments like 'my fatty girlfriend' or comments about feeding them to get fatter.
That is all kinds of weird and wrong to me. They don't like that person for who they are inside, they just like the size and idea of making them even bigger.

People should like people for what is inside, but I guess society won't change that soon. It's a shame because there are really nice people out there who are overlooked or teased because they are too big, or short, or any of the other superficial reasons that stop people from wanting to get to know what is inside.

That maddening moment (and I'm pretty sure this is the second time I've realized this) when a segment you wrote months ago is almost the same as a segment in the book you're reading...meanwhile, you wrote said segment long before you'd ever touched the book! :facepalm:

Screw it, I'm not changing it. :grumpy:

mexican government: this miley cyrus girl is terrible for our country. we must lay down the law

mexican government: ...this miley cyrus girl is terrible for blahblahblahblahblah

I am SO over the Minecraft thing.

I also need to go soak. Or get a good back massage. Or go soak under a good massage.
You know it's bad when every bone in your spine cracks as you gradually bend to touch your toes, and then still cracks on your way back up.

My computer is tired. It keeps freezing. I guess I ought to shut it down for a while.

Cartels are too much for them to handle, especially cause they retaliate in a very bloody way. On the other hand, Miley is a far easier target, so they use her to give people an impression of actually doing something.
Whenever media talk about those scary diseases than kill many, I often think it would be nice if some virus popped up that only kills horrible people like terrorists and the cartels and similar.

I finally touched the hornets nest, got my first anon hate message on tumblr. How very mature of them.
Got statcounter so I know from where they are and what they looked on my blog. Apparently my observation that roleplaying community's obsession over angst was making me uncomfortable didn't sit well with a certain individual. Wait, or was it the part where I briefly mentioned that roleplaying is playing out something you want to be, so a stoic character without any mental problems to cause lack of emotions (the problem that started the whole discussion) is more likely to be chosen by someone who for once wants to feel powerful and in control?

Anyway, I know angst is realistic and a perfectly acceptable addition to plot, but I can't help but feel that lately I've been watching something in the category with those children that catch bugs then pull out their wings or limbs and watch them squirm.

Oh please let winter come early this year, so that these bugs can either die or f*ck off somewhere else.

What about wishing they had an STI?

Ouch! That's a bit much:tongue: Well, at least most of those things can be cured these days.

These parenting forums are so depressing. If my Dad had acces to parenting forums when he stayed at home to look after me, no way would be be saying being a stay at home dad is the hardest job in the world or complaining about it like the things I've read.

My Dad did his proper job from home to earn money and looked after me at the same time while also doing a lot of house chores, food shopping and cooking. He never once said it was hard or a job. He told me that while it was a huge responsibility (one that he chose to take on) it was the best thing he's ever done in his life.

The only thing that bothered him were people who made a big deal out of him looking after me. They assumed my Mum was dead or walked out for him to be the one looking after me:laugh: He just said he wanted to do it and that it wasn't a big deal at all as he was just getting on with life.

Even with my health complications due to being 3 months early, he never said it was hard or a job, even when I had lot of specialist doctor visits, frequent health tests and me randomly fainting, fitting or nearly dying a few times. He never once said it was hard or complained about it. So, these people on the parenting forums saying it's the hardest job ever, or they regret it...I wonder what went wrong for them to feel like that.

Having a child shouldn't be treated like a job to be put up with, it should be a privilege, especially when people make the choice to have children for whatever reason. Surely there's a good side to it or people wouldn't do it at all.

Apple Product Rant:

iOS 8 is f*cking terrible. The Internet's all screwey now and I can't type something without something popping up.

iPhone 6Plus is expensive as hell.

 

[Dante's Stalker]

I knew this was coming, despite staying positive and pushing myself and trying to psych myself into thinking i can carry on this way. But i havent recovered from Thursday. I havent gotten any better since.
2 weeks notice, bam.
By mutual agreement, of course, and the option to return when im better.
But that wont be until bubs is born.
Add another 6 weeks onto that to cater for healing.

I am REALLY sad.
And feel utterly useless.
Thanks, life.

I haz rant questionings:

If the X1 is twice as large as t3h PS4, why is it "slightly less powerful" in almost every comparison vid I see?

So making mysterious story is cool and all, but problem is that when you make story you yourself have no clue about, it gonna end bad. So I find hard to appreciate mysterious background story only to end with explanation "deal with it in the end" (check - Lost)
