Didn't KCD2 remove the churches from their medieval game to make ((them)) happy?
If not for the (godawfully designed) character name on the poster you'd never guess who this was supposed to be.
Trading Places always feels great this time of year. Yes, it spans from early winter through New Year's, but if you were ever in Philly for this time of year (before John Street turned it into a hellhole) it was pretty nice and the movie nails that.
It's ironic, because the more DEI you have, the more whites need to step up to hold things together, thus proving superior competence.
A team of white software engineers will often knock out a job competently.
A team of half or mostly DEI will end up relying on the remaining white guys to pull double duty to keep the whole thing from collapsing (then they'll take the credit.)
A team of all DEI will botch the project or do nothing.
Example: the all-black development team behind the Black Panther game, deliberately handpicked by a team manager who swore off hiring whites to create a safe space. A year and a half later, the team had burned through their budget and failed to produce anything at all, even concept art. They didn't know how to get started, and were just sitting around for months doing jack shit, waiting for the appropriate DEI with actual knowledge to manifest. When they had to present a report on progress, showed up empty handed and EA (EA, who sees shitshow after shitshow and knowingly releases unfinished crap) immediately canceled the game and dissolved the studio, having lost millions propping it up.
Yeah, their knee jerk reaction will be to take what they want directly. Shoplifting will skyrocket further, break-ins, robberies, mugging, and squatting will hit levels that make Gotham City look like Martha's Vineyard. Liberals who support them will fume, march, demonstrate, donate, and tie up local government function. Everything will drag on and on and they'll blame white hate the whole time.
It may be worth it, but they won't go quietly.
There is no correct way to answer. Any choice would imply one is less retarded than the other. Tim Walz could fuck up his own funeral.
Amen. I want them to implode just to see the reaction from the redditors who have been verbally sucking CDPRs girldick for a decade. The constant, incessant, undeserved praise for doing minor things like sending a cosplayer to a convention was treated like some kind of masterstroke by every soyfaced retard on the gaming sub.
They keep pointing out that the actions of a few are reflecting badly on the community at large as if it's only a problem with a handful of unscrupulous individuals acting independently. Well, no shit.
These funds only passed through the few individuals in charge and were still picked clean by fraud. If they could all take a piece, they would. If they're sending their best to office and it's still corrupt, the whole community is shit. The ones being called innocent simply haven't had a turn yet.
The franchise lost me when Cameron cut a bunch of action scenes from the second one because gun violence bad. From the guy who made Rambo 3 and the Terminator franchise, that hypocrisy is just too much.
They keep calling it a "complicated issue" and backing off because muh religious freedom, when in reality all they have to do is reassert that the separation of church and state must be recognized and that a religion taking over duties of the state (such as law enforcement) will not be tolerated and groups assembled by it do so should be considered vigilante organizations.
Coming from the company that has been releasing games without their full content so they can push $130 ultimate editions to be completed 2 years later.
State the nature of the sexual emergency.
Who knew the doctor was one of those "a hole is a hole" guys.
I was in the process of acquiring it on the high seas when a friend waved me away from it. I trust his take.
Granted, things like cinematography and sets, etc. Anything esthetic gets an a+. It's directed and edited completely.
Then we get to Elisabeth. And it goes FULL Netflix.
She's insufferable, knows everything. Every scene she's in is her condescending to the dumb men telling them the correct way do everything. Including how to make the friggin monster, because Netflix. Same shit. Different movie.
These things are nothing but Beanie Babies for soyface trash.
Nearly everyone born after 2000 has no idea of how to complete even simple labor tasks. My nephew, who is 20, doesn't even know how to use a toilet plunger. The slightest task required to survive as a caveman would seem terrifying to the point of nervous breakdown to most young people.

I bet that without that beard, his chin stops right there.
"Hey, if I can't put the $60 for the COLLECTIBLE popcorn bucket on my card, it's like I have nothing to show for seeing the movie! Besides, once we go communist, everyone will get a collectible popcorn bucket and see the movie for free!"
painful to look back and see how with the end of the 00s the games industry has turned into one big copying machine trying to recreate one smash hit over and over and shitting out abominations that get worse with every iteration
Ironically FEAR 3 was one of the games to help create that trend. It wasn't the worst game ever, or even bad really, but it wasn't a great FEAR title. People love to bring up Halo and CoD in these conversations as online successes, but it was companies trying to chase the multi-player dragon that messed a lot of other franchises up. They wanted to force a multi-player mode because FEAR had some cool mechanics but in the end it just destroyed the atmosphere and focus of the game. It was painfully short and a lousy finale for the series.
But hey, it had multi-player.
Calling canned water "Liquid Death" and shoving it out there for edgy teens to slurp up is 'comic book villain' levels of foreshadowing that they're going to try to pull off something comically shady, either in marketing or practice.
Nothing has changed. He hates that he was found out but there's essentially no repercussion aside from the bruised ego, which is always temporary with them. He knows he is a piece of shit but his goal was always to make his followers hate what he hates as validation. He wants the people who criticized him to hate themselves as much as he does, and now that his discontent has spiked, he'll go back to it.
He'll play the 'poor innocent me' card for a few days, then double down on the toxicity. The veneer over his whole life - the dog, the mansion, the backdrop - is an attempt to cope. He can't stand to be alone with himself. He can't help it.
It's the pathology behind their whole mindset. They are perfect, well-meaning, gentle people who are innocent of all wrongdoing and justified when doing harm. They'll concoct a swamp of contradiction, deflection, and obfuscation to avoid scrutiny and culpability for even minor situations. Every criticism is an unprovoked attack. Every careless mistake is a setup. Every attempt at holding them accountable is some evil community focused on persecution.
They'd love it. Like Michael Moore, they'd just claim they're all good and decent folk who have been unjustly suppressed and judged. Then when they have their first wake up call incident, they'll convince themselves that it was an isolated event, just a freak accident. They could lose a family member to a stabbing and cope it down to having provoked it or they got the wrong suspect. There is no bottom because they never admit to being incorrect.
So they love the medieval setting but fuck the most obvious driving force behind behavior, family structure, politics, personal motivation, education, warfare, and daily life. What a fresh take.
