    It has nothing to do with quality. NTSC is for North America, PAL is for Europe. Use NTSC.

    This is awesome guys! I'm so glad that you were successful and Disney took notice. Even if they didn't, though, it's great to see so many KH fans getting together. All of your costumes look incredible and I'll definitely be picking up some of those pins. Known correlation or not, I'll tell myself that y'all influenced Disney into producing them. ;)

    Thanks a bundle for sharing this with us and good luck at future events! Hopefully I can attend one someday.

    Sexuality

    The article is problematic to me because it is, first of all, still supporting the black and white notion of "straight or gay," rather than accurately representing sexuality as a spectrum. It notes the development in our generation of a less label-conscious outlook on sexuality, but neither speaks in favor of it nor renounces it. Which, to be fair, it is reporting on a study, but imo that's news reporting, not journalism. The title poses a question that the author does not answer, or even attempt to answer. But that's a different story for a different time.

    More seriously, though, it's mistaking fluidity for curiosity. Curiosity is a well-taken point in discussing sexuality, but it's once again failing to make any kind of point that rejects society's strict dichotomy on sexuality.

    It's worth noting, also, that it seems a little homophobic to me in places? But that could just be me. It seems like it's trying to pat straight men on the back and say "there there, it's okay to look at dicks, you're not gay!" Straight men finding the idea of being gay, or even having an interest in other men, insulting or scary implies that there is, theoretically, something wrong with being gay. And once again, that's due to the sloppy writing in the article--it presents a lot of contrasting viewpoints and doesn't take a stance.

    No. I reject the notion that men or women are 'more likely' than the other to do something, firstly. Secondly, as someone who is mostly heterosexual, I can't really speak for the pressures that either group faces. I'm not sure there is anything to be gained in comparing the two.

    No. The signal travels from the PSP to the analog output (composite cables), meaning there is some possible quality loss. Then it travels to your capture card, is processed, and saved to a possibly lossy format, depending on your capture settings. Even if you've used the highest quality settings, though, there is still the inherently lossy output from composite cables. You can check your settings but the best way to record from a PSP is not a capture card.

    Most people record PSP footage from RemoteJoy or an emulator. With an analog capture card, you'll always lose some quality. You can improve things by changing your settings or program, but it will never be as good as a direct capture.

    It's not a setting in the ACP, it requires editing the core files. We probably removed the limit for the replies but missed it for the initial comment. Only Mark and I have access to change it right now, I'll look into it.

    I don't think there will be stock issues unless they do a limited edition release. If they do, I imagine you'll have trouble getting the LE if you don't preorder... otherwise, your local tech/gaming stores should have plenty in stock. KH3 may be in high demand, but I really think it's only consoles that you can't get on day one unless you preorder.

    That said, preordering from Amazon is harmless because of their preorder price guarantee and because you don't have to put any money down.

    What I said still applies. You can turn off email alerts for watched threads through your preferences. If you don't want to receive regular on-site alerts either for the threads you have posted in, you can likewise change your settings, though you'll have to manually unwatch some threads.

    Body positivity is an attempt to counteract the negative pressures society puts on people regarding their appearances. This can be on a collective or personal scale. For the former, it could be things like including people of all shapes & colors in advertisements. For the latter, it could be doing something to appreciate your appearance. The idea is to instill confidence in people and help them cherish their natural beauty, rather than resent themselves because they don't fit into same mold as the models they see all over (for women, stick thin, tall, etc.; for men, either super ripped or tall & lanky, commonly).

    It's an especially popular notion amongst feminist groups (though it's not confined to it either) because the media & society are so detrimental to women's appearances in that they present such unrealistic expectations. Men, of course, receive their own share of unrealistic expectations regarding appearance, so like I said, body positivity isn't at all confined to women.

    Sexuality

    That's an observation, though. An observation can only suggest association, not causation--meaning, you can say that the homosexual males you have met/observed like skinny jeans. You can not say that their sexuality has caused them to make the choice or, more comically, that wearing skinny jeans can make you gay. Even still, that conclusion is a stereotype (and statistically inaccurate to draw, because I doubt your sample size is large enough, it's not a random sample, etc.). It's highly unlikely that the way someone dresses is at all associated with their sexuality. For one, sexuality is such a sliding scale, the terms like "homosexual" or "heterosexual" are never 100% accurate. Further, what goes into someone's wardrobe is really complicated (or not complicated at all, depending on how you look at it).

    To offer an example, I've gotten lazy about maintaining it but I keep my hair fairly short for a girl. I wear a lot of plaid button downs. My jeans do sag a bit but that's mostly because I can't find a belt I like (& I buy low rise jeans because I feel uncomfortable in higher rises). I wear sneakers nearly everyday. In short, I dress pretty butch somedays. I dress this way for a variety of reasons, the simplest being that I like plaid and I like the way I look in it. Does that mean I'm a lesbian? No. Do some lesbians dress butch? Of course, and it's okay to observe that, but drawing conclusions from it and stereotyping because of it isn't right.

    The idea of a "flamboyant" gay being associated with how they dress is a similarly ignorant statement. Someone can be flamboyantly gay if they walk down the street screaming "I'm gay." Having piercings or dyed hair is not being flamboyantly gay. Certain trends may be popular within gay culture, and gays may have more exposure to 'alt' fashions (though that's not really even a thing), which may make things popular amongst them, but it still isn't an alright conclusion to draw. Let people label themselves, if they so choose.

    Go into your preferences and contact details. Change the settings accordingly. You can turn off email alerts for conversations and watched threads. You shouldn't be receiving emails for anything else.
