In Mario Kart’s case, the open world is it’s own thing you just screw around in, and only serves to have gapless races where there’s no loading track to track, just the next track. Works pretty well.
Speaks a lot to their character that they blew all the money already.
Agreed. A few heads on a pike at the border and it stops.
I just want both sides to have a good time out there.
The ‘digital tools’ are a larger part of the change. Computers handle geometry better than people can and at reduced budgets, hence the Stephen Silver inspired era of Flash looking cartoons, many of which were made in Flash.
As someone working in the industry at times, you do tend to prefer styles that aren’t entirely based around realism as time goes on because at a certain point, drawing just isn’t the right vehicle for it. I’ve never been a fan of the overly geometric styles in the slightest, but I do prefer cartoons to be cartoony, appreciating things more like classic Disney and the like. Disney and the Nine Old Men basically invented 2d animation and the illusion of life drawings can create.
There will be mods to make the characters not ugly and woke, and they’ll be banned and ridiculed for giving players what they want. Never thought Elder Scrolls would be burned down by Karens, but here we are. They even look disgusting.
It was hilarious seeing calls for diversity immediately turn into there just being no white men.
Seriously. It’s like it’s meant to be insulting to them.
It’s just cultural differences!
Pretty much. It’s why people don’t openly say things about Muhammad. They’ll fucking kill you. That entire mentality where you can’t speak or something because those folks will kill you means those folks are fucking savages. Even drawing a picture of it.
The main problem is progressive white and Jewish Karen’s on SSRIs when it comes to these fund raisers. It’s not like black people are donating to help the blacks. It’s them.
Biggest thing that’s hit us is that we gave up racial preferences and norms with the idea that everyone else would do the same. That we would also be welcomed by them in the same way we welcomed them in, because they said they would. Some did, but many by and large did not. Game theory wise, it’s a losing scenario for white people. White people will vote and act to protect other races. Other races do not do that for whites. So white people then die.
It’s all the uppity Karen bitches on SSRI’s that do that shit.
The problem happened when we turned colleges into degree mills. There weren’t supposed to be 100 history majors, only a small handful. Then college industrialized and became a multi billion dollar business. Completely ruined higher education.
Predatory student loans made it worse. Ask an 18 year old child if they want to go $150k in debt. They’re told it’ll all work out and be fine. For most, that level of debt is insurmountable. All degrees and units costing the same is also ridiculous. Student loans should be more like business loans. No bank would approve $150k for Women’s Studies. Many would have for CS or engineering or something, though with AI now, that gets shakier.
Still love higher education, I’d just rather they got all the business out of it.
They’re also rioting about deporting people that are here illegally that have committed additional crimes after already committing the crime of coming here illegally. Literal gang members in many cases. People whose own countries agree they are gang members. That one guy beat his fucking wife and she filed a restraining order.
Couldn’t they pick coherent causes to riot about? At least with 2020’s riots, you could get away with arguing police brutality to people that didn’t see the body cam footage beforehand.
A big mental shift we need in the US is to stop acting like the US is the problem if people come here illegally and have kids and then they end getting deported. We’re not deporting people that misfiled some paperwork or were a day or two over a deadline or have some kind of a polite grey area. I used to be more pro Dreamer, but it just makes the problem worse by rewarding it. Anchor babies in general also never made any sense. Can we go to China while pregnant and have a kid in the airport and now we’re citizens?
That’s something none of this stuff takes into account: she lives there too and it’s also her child, so she’s also doing it for herself. She’s charging him to go get her own groceries. Clean her own bathroom, her own floor, pick up and drop off her own things. Do her own laundry. Wash her own dishes. Home school her own kids.
Court ordered child support and kicking her and the kid the fuck out, or hiring actual help, would be cheaper than the bitch he married if she’s going to charge him for wiping her own ass.
Dating sites prove that out to them too. Nobody replies to trannies if they know they’re trans. Nobody in public asks them out. They know nobody’s interested. They don’t even like dating other trannies.
At this point it’d be an easy way to drum up positive marketing. “We’re making all races and genders the same as the source material.” 10m sold opening day.
Hahahaha. None of them are legal? This is even more hilarious.
I imagine a leftist judge would be living the two red buttons meme sweating at the choice between supporting the woman’s choice vs supporting the daughter’s choice, as the daughter can easily stay with the dad it would seem in the US. Few kids would choose to leave the US after having left the US for somewhere like Honduras.
I know some illegal families that came from Honduras. One came because it’s gang land out there and they had their house raided at gunpoint and their daughter got traumatized by it all. The other came to send money back to her country to support her family like a lot of them tend to. The latter’s mother is actually on death’s door, but she won’t go back to visit since she most likely won’t make it back into the US after that. That’s how much people don‘t want to go back to Honduras.
Funnily enough, the sons of the family that came here illegally are all big Trump supporters. Trying talking to them about whether that was wise in their particular case. They’d rather risk deportation than let Wokeism continue.
There’s definitely a lot of that going on, but I think the larger issue is actually simpler and more depressing.
A lot of people are more like NPCs. There are many different ways in which people believe things and act. A very large number of people—maybe even the largest number of people—go by social queues and what they’re told. Particularly women. And more recently, demasculinized men trying to make it with those women for lack of options. A lot of these women are now on SSRIs. The burden of what it takes for them to believe something is now very low. It just needs to be on their phone.
It isn’t really them being stupid. Or them actively being evil revolutionaries, though those exist. It’s that those people that can very easily believe anything if enough people do are now constantly plugged into woke ideology and raised on it from birth, and just go with what’s popular at the time due to social media algorithms. That’s why there’s a general lack of coherency on the surface of a lot of things they support and do. They’re against climate change but fire bomb Teslas and support children flying around in private jets. Queers for Palestine. It isn’t incoherent under the surface though. It’s whatever works on the social media algorithms for crazy bitches on SSRIs.
The epistemological fabric of the world for many people has been poisoned. It isn’t even being coopted entirely by revolutionary types so much as simply social media algorithms. That’s part of why there’s a shifting away. The algorithms on sites like X changed.
KKK started because freed slaves were going around raping and killing white people. They weren’t trying to hate on blacks so much as protect themselves. Not that the KKK is great, but none of this stuff ever involved one side doing nothing at all.
Tim’s better than Rogan at this, but typically he’ll still have the issue where if you deeply know about something he’s talking about, he’ll often convey big misunderstandings of it. When it comes to just keeping up with the news and politicians he’s second to none. When it comes to knowing about specific things like this, definitely not the most reliable source if he’s not relaying reports that other people made.
Tim’s also been taken in by a few crackpot guests in the past, like Jack Murphy.
The biggest display I’ve seen recently was the NY Dem Primary debate. One clip I saw had them ask the candidates what the first thing they’d do if they won was. Everybody said they’d go visit Israel except the Muslim guy, who said he’d visit the Bronx or something. It’s super weird and creepy at this point. Question wasn’t even seemingly about Israel. It’s the Mayor of NY. Why the fuck would he ever visit Israel?
