He also leaned heavily on the "reformed SJW" thing to win people over in GG. Since places like KIA were big on still being "sane Leftists" that was a huge hopebringer that they could bring other Lefties from the extremism to prove their Leftism wasn't the problem, only the radicals.
I get why he is the way he is. It somehow keeps paying his bills.
My confusion is why people keep going "Yes that guy, he is worth talking to." Like, his only contribution to anything was running a dead end gaming site a while back, and has otherwise been a laundry list of controversies every year.
We are living in an era where Right Wingers are getting extremely polarized among each other along racial lines, so in what world does a Malaysian "literally using the word" former Nazi fit in for anyone's agenda? How does his offensively ugly face help anyone's brand or sell their political message?
Maybe the other guy is right and its all just Deep State nonsense. That's the only way it makes sense.
Honestly, I've never found it worthwhile to sell old consoles unless it was at Collector's prices. You will be getting a pittance for it unless it was released within the last year or so.
You already own it, and all the games you had for it. Keep it in storage until the urge strikes you to replay some of those, and save yourself the money of needing to rebuy it on PC (if its been ported). And modern consoles are fully functional entertainment centers as well, so you could hold onto it as literally just a DVD/Bluray player for your TV (important as disc drives on PC aren't standard anymore).
Astrobot was the only time I ever felt any desire to have one, and that's because I absolutely love that genre of game and its not as common as it should be anymore. And because of the theme of it, it will almost never be ported elsewhere unlike most PS5 games.
But owning a whole expensive console for one game is retarded. And instead of slowly building up a plethora of exclusives to tip that over, they instead just started porting them to Steam anyway.
The "evil" ending of Infamous 2 is still one of the best in gaming. The entire standoff with Zeke, after an entire game of his redemption arc, is one of the strongest emotional gut punches I ever got.
I went from feeling awesome that I killed the nigger, who I hated the entire game to the point where I almost just went Good to avoid her, to just feeling like shit about everything.
All in all shockingly good writing in a game about a gravel voice guy with lightning hands.
If you took out the Impossible Sausage most of that could just be "we have vegetables here and serve them as the main course sometimes."
Its that one little detail that, if true, betrays a specific intent that goes against literally everything their brand is meant to evoke. And unravels any benefit of doubt they could be given.
Colbert used to be sane and stable enough that he ran a show for almost a decade as a parody of a Conservative, and did it with such sincerity and softness that almost no one was offended by it.
Whether TDS overtook his brain, or he simply reached the level of fame/power that he could finally be his own self, there is a marked difference between his old self and now. Even if just from a talent level.
I still do not understand how IMC keeps being relevant again and again.
He isn't tied to anything notable, his history is wide open and toxic from every political angle thanks to his constant side switching, and he is an ugly, squat little Asian monkey. Literally nothing to offer anyone of anything, and his insights are the most basic nonsense on top of it.
But every year he manages to keep getting his name in headlines as if he is politically important.
any event that involves dressing up is going to attract people with a crossdressing fetish
Especially an event famous for men wearing "skirts" (kilts) which gives a real plausible deniability angle for those on the edge.
RenFairs have been a Leftie hole for decades. Half the people there were always "witchy" type girls who want to play dressup and party while getting to feel "not like other girls." A place for fat nerd chicks to put on a corset to show off her tits and get dudes in kilts (who think they are so cool for wearing one) to fight for her attention. And all of them get super fucking high from either pot or mushrooms or acid.
Based on all the dudes I've seen at the ones I went to around a decade ago, I'd not be surprised most of them are trannies now.
I think like most things in like the 00s or so, the Leftism was more "liveable with" so you weren't immediately on guard to notice or be guarded around them. Heck they were still almost agreeable on some things back then. But now we are into Woke Madness where you can't blink without seeing some insane shit they are doing.
A constant threat of physical violence would improve most people's problems in life, and in turn society.
Not being terrified of being jumped always of course, but the knowledge of if you fuck around you can be made to find out instead of getting to cry and call the cops/boyfriend/daddy government to save you.
Including teenage boys acting like big bitches thinking they are "men" already. One of the most important jobs of a father is to beat his teen son's ass at least once in a fight. Sadly this kid's father is a literal dwarf cocksucker, so that wasn't possible even with great parenting.
it doesn't really sound like empathy.
And empathy doesn't require kindness. The entire point there was the important lesson that people really don't care about men's problems, especially emotional ones. Period. And no amount of being upset about it will change that.
People, especially women, will bait you into thinking that they do. But it will always end up lowering their opinion of you, and usually not actually help you. "Talk Therapy" is a women's method of dealing with things, and for most men it just keeps you wallowing instead of dealing with your baggage.
Literally no one here would give much of a shit about him if he wasn't the son of a famous and hated political figure, and him being this fucked up was a great cudgel against him and the Streamers/Libs. Its literally the way this topic was titled. He'd be just another broken nameless teen that people would forget about tomorrow.
You're ridiculing him by calling him whiny.
Because he is being whiny. He wants to come on the internet, say he is a grown man and talk he gets treated like everyone else. Stay in the kid's corner if you want special kid protections.
Teenagers aren't some mystical retarded entity whose words mean nothing and their minds unknowable. I know people want to think that, to infantalize them, but they are usually having real thoughts and setting foundations for adult thinking.
While its certainly negroid behavior usually, I know a lot of local businesses in my mostly white town banned teenagers because high schoolers were also just little shits and kept shoplifting or getting rowdy. All the ones within walking distance of the school during their lunch time specifically.
But saying "we don't want specific ages" is probably too close to discrimination laws, so they go with the wide net because a kid under like 13 isn't likely to be coming in anyway.
One of the most undeniable parts of the whole "Jewish Question" is that for whatever reason they are massively overrepresented in the most powerful and key areas of our, and most, countries.
Judge/Lawyer, media, corporate level business, politics. They are massively found in all these arenas, and because of it they control way too many facets of our daily lives as it must pass through their specific cultural bias and thoughts.
That doesn't have to be an inherently evil thing, as nothing I've said must be done through evil means even if it often seems to be so. But it does spit in the face of all their own Leftist dogma whining about "too many X in the room, making up societal norms!!" Except its okay because they are Jewish, so no one is allowed to talk about that.
You confuse empathy with compassion
Did nothing of the sort. But I guess that helps you dodge the point better, so have at it.
You're comparing your own past with his present
I'm using that magical empathy to take from experience what helped and what hurt the process to get out from under those types of upbringings.
Let the kid vent his frustrations. It's a process.
A kid by your own admittance has no role models to support that process. I suppose parents are just useless to teenage growth that these normal rebellions just work themselves out fine. We certainly don't have endless examples of that process going horribly wrong in these types of kids.
He is already going into his dad's room to shoot him with a fake gun randomly out of anger on stream. And that's just the things we get to see.
Destiny and the whore mother are very clearly the villains in this story.
Said nothing to the contrary. I don't think it even needs to be said because of how obvious Destiny and any of his whores are to be the villains in any situation they exist in.
He's still just an abused kid who got fucked up before he had a chance
And he is spiralling into the same trap abused kids go into. Nothing is my fault, muh trauma, my parents sucked, and my situation is so special you'd never understand so how dare you criticize me.
I'll give him some slack, because he is 14 and his situation is awful.
But he himself is saying he is already a man because he raised himself, and then immediately goes into "nothing is my fault! " That's where he drops from struggling with a bad situation to clearly not looking for solutions, while already sealing himself off from improving because he considers himself "matured."
I hope he finds a good role model and develops a more healthy approach to life.
I do as well. He needs to escape the shadow he is letting himself live under and look out into the real world. Which is hard when you live with that kind of mother as he describes her, but life dealt him a hard hand. Its either play or fold, no matter how injust that is.
My assumption is he learned the unhealthy tactic of complaining online from watching his parents
He has been streaming for at least a few years now. Meaning he is already learning those unhealthy parasocial behaviors that even adult streamers fall into. Which should probably be the first change he makes, to both help himself and sever his father's shadow.
My belief is that a parent must try to shield their children from their parents' mistakes as much as possible, while still teaching the children how to avoid making those mistakes.
Agree entirely. Unfortunately it seems in this case the egotistical Destiny's influence is to make him a complete copy of him. Which is awful on many levels.
Sluttery is always the easiest money/pleasure you will ever get as a woman. Anyone pretending otherwise is lying to themselves and to these girls.
The problem with being a whore, literally or just figuratively, is a forever mark on your character. People will always judge you with it, and, no matter how much they pretend otherwise, girls will always judge themselves by it too. It'll always be a bomb waiting to explode in any relationship, or just their mental state, and just knowing its there will make any of those unstable by nature. It will always come back, one way or another.
Simps might still fuck them, and marry them, but it'll always be a consequence that holds over their head. No amount of social change, politics, or pretending to not care has or will ever change that.
