| 1. How strongly do you favor violent content in video games? I like it for the action and to have more risks in combat. If done too over the top without accounting for what type of game you're making, it could come off as really edgy. I don't mind over the top violence in games where it wouldn't be ... |

| I'm in a game of D&D that used to play on Discord once a week on Saturdays with friends I met from school a couple years ago. These sessions would last around 3 hours.This lasted most of the summer (it might have been cancelled once or twice but I don't remember) until late September. After a se... |

| I don't think agender people and most other types of nonbinary people can be straight or gay because they don't identify as a binary gender. I would just label it as them being exclusively attracted to women or exclusively attracted to men. I guess the only alternative to that would be if they still... |

| So far I've been enjoying it and haven't had the graphics problems people have been happening on PS4, but the lighting is very off in Night City during the daytime. I have a PS4 Pro so it might be a little more compatible with the game. That being said, the bad glitch that I did have involved a pers... |

| Ratings are all really screwed up here. PG-13 is another rating that's pretty much cursed because studios think making it rated R will make the movie sell better. They stopped releasing as much PG-13 movies, and the ones that we do have are usually pretty low quality nowadays. Older PG-13 movies pro... |

| Yeah, it definitely shouldn't be the only way to determine if a show portrays women properly. Here's an example of when it would technically pass: The sister of the main character is introduced earlier in a movie bugging her older brother with her best friend. The two girls are introduced as Angela ... |

| Hopefully things will change as more Americans are exposed to foreign movies through streaming services. For the most part, other countries aren't as terrified of showing full frontal nudity or realistically simulated sex scenes. |

| Self-explanatory. What do you think is the future of abortion rights? As a Catholic I believe life begins at conception.... I do agree with you that life begins at conception. It's not going to be sentient life yet, but even a zygote is alive. I'd argue even the individual gametes are alive. The ha... |

| If any of the southern states decide to secede, lots of major companies will probably relocate and this will further damage the economy in the South. Some major companies (including AT&T, Dell, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's) have headquarters down in the south, and it's very possible that a co... |

My group kind of shrunk after school and I'm playing with people from my old group but with a different DM and while I like some aspects of his game, his campaign is a story based one with no emphasis on combat whatsoev... |
