This is literally kindergarten level operation here.
"Look! They gave the bad man 34 counts so I putted 34 pixtures of the count from sesame street! Did I do good!?"
I'd rather it not be made at all until the whole woke/DEI thing suffocates itself. It's simply not safe. They may make a good season or two in this climate but by the third it will be handed off to assholes. The Witcher was a warning that they may back off early on to get viewers on board but, like attention addicts, they can't resist keeping their mouths shut for long.
Anything exclusive to gay is so lovingly accepted as part of "pride" and as a positive no matter how horiffic, disgusting, or repellent it is in any other context.
They're so matter-of-fact about it like "Oopsie, I got the 'food poisoning' don't smell my breath I have to gargle with Ty-D-Bol haha, that's the life!"
Yeah that they wrote "our babies will not be warlords" when they left was cringe. What would they choose for them otherwise if Furiosa hadn't filled their heads with the horseshit story of some green paradise inhabited only by women? Baristas and poets? If they hadn't figured out that it was a daydream by that point, in the world they were living in where everyone has serious issues, then he was right to lock them up for their own protection.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but Immortan Joe did nothing wrong. He set up a system where he had access to water. He traded it for other necessities and set up a trade network. He respected the terms he'd set up with other suppliers and formed alliances. He set up a security force and marked territory. He recruited and supplied an army.
The wasteland is a shithole. Nobody out there has a future, but he did give purpose to fighting age men and those with usable skills. Even the people who had nothing to offer and no means to move on were given water, scant as the supply was.
He sets up a stronghold. He grows food and gets himself set up well. Is it too much to ask to want a family who can carry what he's built into the future? Do these women really have a lot of options? He's the equivalent of a billionaire in the wasteland.
No matter where you were out there, if you appeared on any factions' radar, you got jacked. That's just how it is, and his raiding parties were a necessity or he'd be seen as weak. The man was an adapted homesteader.
Late to the game but there's a bigger picture here.
Ever heard of the Ben Gurian canal project?
It's an alternative to the Suez canal that would be routed through Israel, allowing shipping straight up the Jordan directly to the Mediterranean. The only thing standing in the way is the Gaza strip. This would decimate a chunk of the economy and bargaining power of the middle east and give it solely to Israel. Just Google it, it's fucking scary.
The John Dies at the End series (David Wong) was suitably fucked up and fun to read. I'll add the disclaimer that I haven't picked up the 4th and most recent yet but the other 3 were all original, at least.
Do not watch the movie if you haven't already. The budget simply wasn't enough to cover the breadth of the book and it doesn't hold up well.
Never mind that Memorial day weekend is in 3 days. But hey, why don't we twist it around to make it about muh feelings with a vapid tiktok rant?
At least they attempted to be poetically cruel about it.
Memory is hazy but for those who are curious, Chakan dueled Death himself to win immortality. He was granted this, but at the stipulation that he could never die so long as evil existed. After eons of fighting, he's ready to die so he's now trying to purge evil on earth, by hand I guess.
At the end of the game, he's defeated evil on earth. Death shows up and says he meant ALL evil, and points to the night sky. There are countless worlds to purge, and we're not even sure he can reach any of them.
It would be funny to watch Anderson Cooper empty Joe's warm catheter bag into a test cup on live TV.
Someone should shove this whole statement onto his Wikipedia page and tell the history re-writing goon mob there to get fucked.
I'm just wondering how much lower the series can go once the current guy is done with. How much gayer and nonwhite can they pull off? It'll probably have to be some full CG of just a dancing black dick and balls wearing a bra and hair weaves, poking out of a glory hole cut in the Tardis.
This is about the rate modern women expect you to spend on a first date.
This is just one battle. The best outcome would be that Sony as a parent company realizes that its Playstation division is being mishandled and moves it out of the US or at least changes management.
This whole thing happened because their first party games have been lousy and now that one of them is bringing in player numbers like their games used to, they couldn't resist trying to capitalize on it to make up for the flops.
By the definition given, wouldn't this make most Japanese citizens chuds or chud-adjacent? And wouldn't that be considered a national insult? Fire everybody.
I have a friend who does this. He subjects himself to media he knows sucks. He does not expect to be wrong, he just has a curiosity about exactly how bad it is.
We've dubbed the condition "cinemasochism"
Trying to map out how these people think will fuck you up. It's like trying to plot the logic of a serial killer, if they were retarded and smoked up.
I could brush this off if I really felt that the members of whatever government in the room listening to her wouldn't agree and take this to heart. They're all in the same range of stupid and fanatical.
Ubisoft knew they'd be marching Skull and Bones out to die no matter how complete it was.
WB honestly believed SS would be a huge success because it checked the right boxes and had a live service which meant constant profit for them, and that's what makes its failure more entertaining.
I keep thinking of the scene in Goodfellas where Tommy gets executed; WB thought they'd be walking into a promotion and opportunity but ended up getting whacked by the gamer community.
So now we need to push a Competency, Organizational, Professionalism, & Efficiency (COPE) score to measure actual business productivity and investment viability.
It will, of course, be the opposite of whatever the BRIDGE compliance rating comes in at.
Their hate is only harmless until you're alone with them, your back is turned, or they realize the cameras are off.
Every gamer out there should be considered qualified. We are all well aware, painfully aware, of these topics and their impact on every aspect of gaming including sales, community impact, and established canon. We're up to date and selecting product based on advanced identification hueristics. We're networked and constantly renewing consensus. All we need to do is come up with a legit sounding name.
"I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it."
A sane world wouldn't. You managed to fuck up in one of the few ways anyone with your amount of privilege points still can. Bye now.
Immersion matters. Leave it to them to ignore the guidelines for creating a work of fiction.
Second one had the largest ever dip in quality between a game and its sequel. I knew the guy who did animation for it (the title screen where he breaks out of the cloning vat) and as they were still working on level design were told "OK just wrap it up, we're pulling everyone off this." It's why there are only 4 levels and the last is just the first level in reverse.
