Then yes, it does sound like a problem on your end. Again, trying another email address would be the simplest route, but you should also check the settings in your email client.
Is this just KHV emails or all the emails going to your account?
Unless the issue is reported by other members I am inclined to say that this is a problem with your email service. If it's happening repeatedly, give another email address a try. As far as I am aware and can tell KHV's emails are sending correctly, though.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE DID A PODCAST ABOUT THIS OR ANYTHING
E3 hasn't happened yet. PlayStation Now (the PS4 service you're talking about) is under NDA right now, we haven't had any word from Square on which of their titles will be available through it.
Pretty ****ing terrifying, although John Oliver crashing the FCC website gives me hope I do agree that they can be useful to build suspense but they reflect the rampant capitalism and consumerism in American society, which disgusts me, and they do too. So many of them are trying to sell us pretty repulsive ideas (makeup commercials are a great example). A lot of them are just straight up annoying too. I don't want people yelling at me to buy their product.
Pretty much the point I reached in like... 2011. Primarily I started moving us over to Netflix-esque services to save money (cable is ****ing expensive), but my family preferred them so much that we've just about ditched cable completely. I don't miss spending 30 minutes searching through the guide only to find that there's only shite on and dealing with commercials. Just ???????? I'll take binge watching OITNB over that any day
On the contrary, they're completely aware of it. The idea is that people will pay their cable provider more money to get their additional channels. I understand being frustrated but it's really not your mom's fault and you shouldn't take it out on her. Growing up I was poor, still am, so we had to cut corners in a lot of places, including television. You can get creative with the solutions... watch things on the internet, ditch cable altogether & keep up with shows through Hulu & Netflix & other places on the internet, watch at a friend's house, or just straight up stop watching TV. Also, driving without insurance is illegal... to be fair people don't follow a lot of laws when it comes to driving (hahahaha 55mph speed limit), but you can get slammed with a pretty hefty ticket for driving without insurance. Drivers without insurance are incredibly costly to all involved too. I don't think it's so much that your mom doesn't trust you to drive, but no one should be driving without insurance. Even if you're driving perfectly, you can still get hit, and good luck paying car repair bills without insurance... not only that but if you do hit someone, you're pretty much ****ing them if you don't have insurance. If you're trying to reduce your insurance rates, taking defensive driving classes and/or driver's ed can sometimes get you a discount. I watch television SHOWS, but not really cable anymore. All my TVs have either a Roku or a game console hooked up, and the Hulu/Netflix/Amazon Instant/Piracy quadripartite serves us pretty well.
On request.
I'm hoping she'll give some information on the 1.5 and 2.5 OSTs... definitely buying those.
while this does seem upsetting you do have to remember that posts about KH are scattered across like 6 sections lol. Plus, theoretically at least, posts in the KH sections require more effort and are of a higher quality than those in, well, here
Good point! I forgot about that. Like hatok said I wouldn't be surprised if whoever did the art overlooked that as well, since these seem to be pretty quick drawings -- maybe we'll see full versions one day? -- but Eraqus does still seem the most likely option (barring an original character).
By far one of my best memories of public school was hearing my English teacher mutter under her breath "sometimes I wish corporal punishment wasn't illegal."
That's what I would do.
Do you mean within a post you're writing up? You can just copy what you're writing into word or notepad and use the built-in feature there.
@iwantedtoexplode this seems like what it would feel like to put on glasses Thanks for the comparisons! Really nice to see. Something still feels odd about Aqua's hair to me but I suppose I'll get used to it.
Cognitive bias is an issue when applied to making rational decisions, not giving out small ratings on a user forum. I never disagreed that it would happen, but people's ratings will never be influenced by logic or the "quality" of the post -- quality is subjective. People will be influenced by bias, emotion, and a whole host of other things. I feel you are simply overthinking the system's purpose by attempting to turn into some sort of advanced system of responding to a post. It's not. It's a little value that does, to some degree, display your reputation within the community. On the first page we established that if you have thoughts on someone's post -- that is, you disagree with it -- you are encouraged to reply to it, whether publicly or privately, as that facilitates discussion. Any reputation system -- vB's version, post ratings, or even likes -- are meant to express approval or disapproval. Nothing more, nothing less. Making ratings secret would rob people of information and remove that element of self-regulation previously mentioned, even if some of people's ratings may be influenced by the phenomena you're describing. It's worth mentioning as well that the bias you're describing is in no way exclusive to these ratings. What if I linked you to a post and told you I negatively repped it? What if I was in a group chat and we were all talking about how ****** a post is? What if I saw a bunch of people replying to a post and disagreeing? You are never going to eliminate cognitive bias in a social setting, as people are not objective & do not exist in a vacuum, nor will they ever. I didn't say anything about "calling people out," but if I noticed that a particular user seemed to be giving out a lot of negative ratings, that would influence my perception of them.
The only pressure to not give negative ratings is the awareness that other people can see it; one would not give a negative rating if they didn't want the community to know they gave negative ratings. I don't consider that form of transparency an issue. The idea is having public consequence for your actions; if people would think differently of you for doing something, and you don't want that, then maybe you should reconsider what you're about to do. If you don't care what others think, or if you feel the negative rating is still justified, then you can still do it. It's a system of self-regulation, which can work in tune with staff moderation. If anything, I find that fairly similar to the vBulletin reputation system, just an extrapolation of it -- your "reputation" within the community is decided upon how other people view you (the ratings you receive) and how you treat others (the ratings you give out). The negative ratings are still visible in user profiles, just not the member card or message user info. Your "negative" reputation still exists and is visible, but you're not being branded all over the site. If it bothers you so much then it is fairly easy to turn off the display of ratings on your end. I'd be happy to give users the option to within their user profile, like how you can toggle the back to top button, but I think that the benefits of public display (mentioned above for negative ratings, there are further advantages for the positive ratings) outweigh what you're mentioning, especially because the matthew effect tends to apply to opportunity and institution more than a social setting.
I like the idea of seeing who rated a post, publicly at that. For negative ratings, as we said, we felt that it being public would deter abuse of the system, which was far easier with negative rep -- it was hidden away in profiles, so people felt there was little consequence to making petty dereps because no one but the receiving member would see it. As I told you, there is no way to limit it and I don't see much of a reason to. You are right that it would encourage people to give them out more freely but I do not think that cheapens the value of the ratings. The rest of what you have said is extremely subjective and, to be frank, a rather narrow view as you have been away from the community for a time, yet it was a common complaint from a few users when we moved to Xenforo. I will reiterate what I said then: we changed software for a lot of very good reasons. We are not trying and do not wish to clone vBulletin or keep changing things in deference to the past. It's important to consider what we liked about past systems, but we will not be bound by them, particularly when they had some very glaring issues.
Yeah I didn't want to go too hard on voice actors because the Japanese ones always differ from the English ones (though they keep the same tone usually) and I'm not comfortable identifying Japanese VAs. Plus they could always get different VAs for the young versions (like they did with Young Xehanort in KH3D). Yeah, I hope KH3 does introduce some original characters -- and let's not forget that, when Another Side Another Story & Deep Dive wee being analyzed by fans, we were pretty confident it was Sora in them. I guess we weren't totally wrong there.
