The only black women with hobbies I've met that wasn't "getting nails/hair did" were the ultraest of weebs. Like, the ones that tattoo hearts under their eyes and scream about Kawaii desu uwu in public.
Which tracks with my experience with black dudes, whose only hobbies outside the stereotypical "basketball, rap, hoodrat shit" was "knows every single episode of DBZ/One Piece by heart."
Its a very odd situation that says something about the power of Anime, but I don't know what.
Howard Stern is up there with George Carlin on being an unironic cancer about our culture that we will never be able to clean out. Has convinced an entire generation of people that being an unrepentant degenerate and slimy loser is the peak of comedy and radio.
The fact that a Presidential "hopeful" acknowledges him, let alone appears with him in public to boost their image, shows how far we have fallen as a society and how cheaply the Dems view the office.
Then again, Harris also appeared on something called "Call Her Daddy" which sounds worse.
I like efficiency. I enjoy making things more efficient, and working towards tasks in a manner I feel is more efficient. This is not something you get a lot of in real life, especially with women or children in it, so games offer the greatest value for that feeling. Its why I also do achievements in games and can enjoy light grinding in games that provide it (when it doesn't feel like mindless padding like many older games did).
Ironically, I hate games most sandbox types. Because I need a goal in my efficiency. If the entire goal is just to make number go up or engage creativity, then it does nothing for me. I'll build an entire production line if it is in service of getting my Tier 2 armor to Tier 3, but if I'm just building to look good or be more complex then it does nothing for me. I recently played V Rising and it did it rather well, where I was in constant pursuit of a goal and finding the best way to achieve it to overcome a boss or complete a gear set.
But generally, I just enjoy fun stuff. It doesn't need to be specific or defined. I enjoy the Ichiban Yakuza games because they are high energy and funny fun. I enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima because it felt fun to play and random encounters were fun to do well past when they gained me anything. I enjoyed doing Bloodborne at level 4 (the lowest possible level) because it actually felt fun to explore the game in that manner. I play Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom (a game that got 2/10 reviews on release) yearly because its fun to run around with monsters and dab on their teams with my overpowered combos.
Take the first Last of Us game. Objectively mediocre game play, light stealth, light FPS, light puzzle solving.
Having played the tacked on multiplayer mode, the Gameplay is far better than it gets credit for and makes for a pretty fun half stealth action game. It just doesn't ever get used to its maximum ability in the story mode. But because nobody played anything but said story mode no one really got to experience what it could do.
I have my beliefs and I'm putting in a token effort to have the system support them, rather than whining about it and throwing out all my toys because I didn't get the Red Megaman like I wanted.
I feel quite good about its value.
I know nothing of this company, but the product looks neat and the graciousness of that PR response is enough for me to look into them further.
Edit: They have very few products, and the Hardcover version of that Ebook seems to be the crux of their entire lineup. But it looks like a really nostalgic shelf piece that I'd enjoy having over this Free Ebook version. All the best to them, I might get it once I get next month's budget.
I don't think the entire "breaching" system and the more puzzle heavy elements to combat is why Chimera failed, if anything that's a better addition to the gameplay than Xcom 2's stealth could ever be.
It was the wonky ass writing that focused too much on named gay looking characters and analogies of racial politics that ruined it. Which they seem to have also copied.
As far as my understanding goes, this "group" isn't a censorship org. They are an blackmail racket in the modern times. They do "research" to find all the dirtiest laundry on a company, use it to drive the stock down through the bad press, and then buy it all up at a shorted price.
So this is actually pulling back the curtain to show the real power behind things like "cancel culture" and other censor mobs. Groups using those idiots as bludgeons to abuse the negative PR for stock purposes to make huge profits.
America isn't sinless towards Europe, but I am very confident that if we were to completely split from one another, we'd manage after a nasty struggle and Europe would actually end up conquered or collapsed. Which means its not an "equal" relationship where the slights against European countries, such as them choosing to consume only our media instead of their own until it brainrots them, are just the cost of being the vassal of a larger nation.
None of this would matter really, if European nations at least tried to play their part, in terms of paying their fair share (remember the outrage when Trump asked that in NATO?) and not actively trying to undermine us by interfering in our politics constantly. But that seems to be impossible.
I think we need to put historical gripes behind us and come to terms with the fact that that we, as a people, are vulnerable now.
I'm armed, almost everyone around me is armed. I live in a place that is very hard to invade and feel pretty confident in a lot of my other fellow Americans are also in that same boat. And we are growing both our families and communities against those who would do us harm.
The call from Europe for "help" now on a racial basis really feels like "Help me Fellow Whites, we gave up our guns and invited the savages to live with us and its having consequences! Won't you come sacrifice your lives to save us again, your fellow whites?"
I'm not guaranteed in my safety by far, but most of Europe has shown themselves happy and willing to stab us in the back for their own benefit again and again, which makes allying with them just as likely to drag us down as it is to bolster us against those enemies. Double so because, as this topic is about, they won't even bother to send us any aid even in the peace times when its easy.
This isn't an attack on you, as I doubt any of my grievances you'd be a supporter of, but as a general statement against Europe.
Fuentes has a wierdly large amount of money/connections and a legion of sychophants. That means that his presence when he breaks into the mainstream on things like podcasts is carefully curated and clipped to lure people in through the exact manner you described. He says reasonable things there and then draws them down the rabbit hole.
He doesn't have much influence and his party has been dying for a while, but what he does have is the exact power you are describing. People know nothing about him, but he says some "based and agreeable" things sometimes so people make posts like this about his thoughts as if they are valid and then it gains influence that way. It doesn't gain him direct power, but it does sway some less certain people's minds and plants the seeds for retarded ideas to sweep through.
Everything you are using to downplay and describe him is exactly what a Fed plant would want (see also, movements like Patriot Front who can be described exactly the same) to maintain their level of influence.
Prevent Hillary from gaining power and doing so hard enough that it derailed her entire legacy. And in doing so delayed or damaged the Leftie march to ultimate power that they are continuing to remind us they want.
But this isn't "Trump versus a more Perfect candidate." Its Trump vs Harris.
How does Harris better represent your values? Explain how Trump would be worse in that regard.
Fuentes is exactly like that though. He is a literal meme of a Mexican mutt short guy jerking off to femboys while screaming about how Jews bad and women evil.
He is a literal caricature of every negative stereotype about the alt-right you can think of.
Don't worry. Most of these anti-Trump guys are just refusing to vote and acting like it makes them principled and respectable.
As if that doesn't just help Harris or whoever anyway. And that its somehow "more moral" to help the Left continue to rape our children than have to compromise on their pet issue.
I'd honestly be content with helping any nation that would at least help us back.
Like that one African country* that sent some donkeys or something after Katrina, simply because it was the best they could do. I'd send them billions of dollars in aid every time over any single European country because not a single one of them cares about us beyond what they can parasite out.
There is no tribe between the US and Europe, whites or not. Its been over a century of dragging us into your wars, taking full advantage of all of our R&D to keep your own costs low, and then bitching at us about how much they hate us anyway.
*I can't find the name now because all the news sites are pumping out Helene and Katrina comparisons to clog the information.
This just goes to show states should be MORE self reliant than relying on the federal
But the slaves had to be freed! Lincoln had to jail any of his critics and start a literal brother war for the wonderful and gracious negros that deserved to be free.
The snakes in Xcom2 have boobs. Its been a running meme on places like /v/ for years how badly everyone wanted to fuck one.
I can't find myself hating CS, simply because it shipped as a 10$ game and was announced like something a bunch of devs threw together in their down time between games. Not my cup of tea, but not offensive until it was the last Xcom game.
As someone who was a Hinatafag all the way back when the Chunin exams were the current arc, I won't disagree.
But we had to spend literally a decade plus of him promising that Sakura was always destined to be Naruto's #1 until the hard swerve near the end.
You get back to me when you find a way to prevent power and authority from existing in human society to prevent such possibilities.
Ironic you brought up communism, because that's the entire reason why people simp for it.
Usually the hard swerve into this level of Affirmative Action nonsense is what causes the franchise to fall to shit.
Instead this time its been shit for over a decade, and they are hoping this will be the one thing that pulls them from that muck. Hilarious really.
His entire association with Gamergate was him barging in and saying he was under attack before anyone even knew who he was.
Like, it was a big thing for those few months that ZQ and a few of the other actual big names were pissed at him trying to force himself into the circle.
It does, I won't deny that we have done things to you guys. But like many cases of domestic violence, the "weaker" party initiates it through provocation and temptation that brings it up to the level of actual violence.
In this case, Europe has only itself to blame for being helpless and letting themselves become vassals. They started wars, got themselves killed in massive numbers, and had to beg the formerly Isolationist Nation of America to come bail them out. If they hadn't been weak in the first place, we'd never have took advantage of that weakness. And now they refuse to pay for their own defense, waste all their tax money on even more worthless things than we do, and import American media to brainwash themselves.
In gendered terms. You can never stop rapists from existing, so you better do everything possible to prevent yourself from being rapeable. Instead much of Europe seems to follow the Feminist method of being upset that you imply they could do anything to not allow themselves to be raped to begin with.
I don't, which is why I wanted to stress this was all in general terms. I am of the firm belief that the individual and the group should always be considered differently, as long as you don't make hypocritical exceptions.
I feel no ill will towards you, my guy. I only reject the notion that I should send aid to your nation whatsoever. At least, any aid that isn't an armed invasion to turn your nation into an actual colonized vassal.
I'm from the South. My entire life has been my "fellow whites" telling me how worthless, retarded, and evil I was for being born in a place they don't like because of some vague history centuries ago they can barely explain. And those are my own countrymen.
I feel no kinship from my "fellow whites" in the slightest. Because when times were easy, they were lined up to throw stones. Now they are crying that we are brothers because times are hard? I'd personally rather die standing without them than debase myself by extending a hand to such an ungrateful and disrespectful bunch. Edgy, but my genuine feelings on the matter.
I think you'd be surprised at how much that size works to not hide the problem, but legitimately minimalize it. There are a large amount of areas, near entire states even, where if you turned off the TV and internet you'd see near zero of this nonsense ever. With the exception of taxes, it never reaches you and never effects you personally.
If I was willing to return to deep swamp hurricane country where I was born, I'd be able to live in actual ignorance of it all to barely any ill effect to my personal life. But hurricanes suck and I'd still see blacks when I craved fastfood, so instead I stay in a different rural nowhere.
