The photos (and the short video clip at right) were posted to the Facebook page of Kristy Smith, a freshman nursing student. The photos, which you'll find on the following pages, were taken late last month on the bank of the Red River, where students from the University of Louisiana at Monroe giddily acted out the racial attack. Among the queries noted in the report: “Where you going all dressed up so sexy?,” “Where did you get a pair of legs like that?,” and “Hey, baby, wanna suck my root?”Ī group of white Louisiana college students dressed in blackface and reenacted the “Jena 6” assault while a friend snapped photos and videotaped the staged attack, images that were later posted to a participant's Facebook page. Lower-income men were also seven times more likely to ask women questions. “Whether the woman was black or white, rich or poor, cheerful or profoundly depressed, these men were consistently able to get across the message that they would enjoy engaging in intercourse with her,” Clarke said.
“It's one thing to be able to strike up a conversation with a friend or coworker,” Clarke said, “but the challenge is that much greater when you're trying to talk to a stranger who's running to catch a train.” They simply were unable to convey the sentiment.”Įven more remarkable, low-income men are often able to initiate communication with women they do not even know. “It's not that they didn't notice the ass. Marybeth Clarke, Boston University sociologist and the study's co-author. “Though they scored substantially higher in math and science aptitude, upper-class males were surprisingly inept at simply letting a coworker know her ass looked nice in a skirt,” said Dr. By contrast, a paltry 3 percent of men who earn more than $75,000 a year could do the same. The study found that 95 percent of men who earn less than $18,000 a year were able to loudly and publicly voice their approval of specific body parts on women. “To the contrary, our research finds that they are up to four times more adept at conveying their interest in women than men with higher incomes.” … “Many people would assume that the relative dearth of educational opportunities available to men in lower economic strata would result in inferior communication skills,” said Boston University social anthropologist Dr. Visually and acoustically the themes blend very naturally.Įven though I think the combat could be better, I do find this game incredibly fun and interesting.According to a Boston University study released Monday, men from lower-income backgrounds are significantly more skilled at communicating their attraction to women than their middle- and upper-class counterparts. The art and sound design are quite lovely though. There are, however, bigger monsters that do require you to be on your toes and fight with strategy or retreat to smaller alcoves that they cannot trespass. There isn't any weight to it, you'll only get some bogus feedback if a monster parries you correctly, but if you are just machine-gunning the shins of monsters there is no fatigue, so it's more or less just an annoying obstacle. The feel of the close-combat is just off. It's mostly just the movement and stabbing that are more-or-less hamfisted. Blocking and parrying are fine and work well. You don't need to fetch your spear after you throw it, you just need to wait until a set amount of time has passed. For sure throwing your spear is super satisfying and the feedback you get from expertly drilling a monster in the forehead is spot-on. So it's more like it's cookie-cutter puzzle pieces that fit together very well randomly. I say that because, I noticed that while my runs weren't completely the same, I did notice very familiar terrain patterns and obstacles. The levels are pseudo-procedurally generated. What's worse is you get locked into the fight, so you better be a super quick learner or else you are most definitely going to get the "You Have Died" screen.
My first ever boss encounter, I only managed to find "Light Armor" which did shit all against the boss.
There are four bosses and (IIRC correctly, I can't seem to find the data anymore) twenty two enhancements that are really kind of necessary. Quick Impressions: Oblitus is a 2D Roguelike Soulslike game whose combat is entirely focused on the use of spears.
