It's a meme thread/topic and the religious freedom part was similarly not serious as anyone with 2 brain cells put together can figure out; you're not qualified to lecture anyone.

Australian censorship never ends, does it?

  1. Starts with violent or sexually explicit games like Postal, BMX XXX
  2. Extends to weeb games like Omega Labyrinth Z and Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni
  3. Censors adult women who merely look pubescent
  4. Nooses paraphernalia like onaholes
  5. Escalates to possession of videos like the Christ Church shooting
  6. Ban hammers more vidya like Hotline Miami
  7. Goes after toy figurines
  8. Ban hammers even more vidya like Mary Skelter Final
  9. Denies religious freedom

This from a supposedly Western country, and many more on the heels of these footsteps.

Trans pupils can use the lavatories, changing rooms and dorms on school trips that they feel most comfortable in, another booklet states.

Why such intolerant separation? Shared locker rooms are the way to go; it'll definitely work out well in the face of fierce pubescent hormones.

Top answers are all places that are not Seattle neighborhoods.

Considering the trend in CRT-based discrimination, allowing 'peaceful protesting', anti-gun scrutiny, rigged elections, lockdowns, Big Tech thought suppression, etc., she's not entirely wrong. Just not in her intended way.

Danganronpa port compilation

Nice, I still need to finish 2 and continue the series. For v3, I think the Vita version had issues so the Switch might come in handy there.

Wrong link as already mentioned. I posted this a few days ago here - https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/12izpkCXkk/artist-says-capcom-stole-her-pho/c/

Polygon archive, though I found the same information on SankakuComplex. Out of curiosity, which site did you use?

As always, both:

  • The initial offer is insulting, i.e. pony up.
  • One can never place a value on life, i.e. we need to milk what we can get indefinitely.

Late last month, over a century later, the German government for the first time ever issued a formal apology amid a push for reparations. Berlin followed with a pledge of 1.1 billion euros (almost $1.3BN) toward infrastructure development for Namibia. However, it stopped short of offering direct reparations.

Namibian Vice President Nangolo Mbumba issued a statement on Friday, saying "No amount of money in any currency can truly compensate the life of a human being."

"We need to recognize that the amount of 1.1 billion euros agreed upon between the two governments is not enough and does not adequately address the initial quantum of reparations initially submitted to the German Government," he added.

The article mentions a distinction of commercial use. Copyright isn't always that simple anyway, like the difference between a music license for personal use vs. that for streaming, etc.

If it was such an easy open-and-shut case based on the description, I doubt the artist would waste her money on a lawyer, even if seeking a settlement.

If anyone has the book or finds a digital scan, we might be able to put the subject matter to rest -- I say 'might' and not 'should' because copyright infringement has intentionally been made overly complicated by corporations, so even then it might depends on case law.

Didn't see this news in the WIN or the KIA subreddits, but the artist has filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement, citing multiple images as evidence.

The images were part of a book published in 1996 and the alleged theft dates back to early 2000s. Some of the evidence is apparently from Capcom's data breach incident from last year.

Never heard of this developer before, but from surface-level research they have slow updates on Craftopia and the prior game Overdungeon basically died.

It's apparently a new team of developers, but skepticism must be applied against their claim that the new game won't hinder Craftopia. Surely as revenues sharply dry out, they'll scrap Craftopia in favor of another game and have the same apply for Palworld.

That said, it does sound like a funny game worth pirating if not supporting.

I'm not hopeful enough to think there'll ever be a Congress that accomplishes positive goals in the legislative branch. Therefore, the best I can hope for is a deterrent, and one who can use whatever presidential powers there are (like yanking armies out of foreign nations, etc.)...not that it'll happen either, but maybe less improbable than winning N many congressional seats.

I'm a full believer in having a true libertarian in the executive office, and some semblance of the uni-party in Congress for checks and balances.

Ron Paul was a great candidate for this reason. That and against the Fed.

Edit: This is given the 2-party system. It's near impossible to even win the presidential, but at least that's 1 seat vs. however many required in the House/Senate to have non-trivial effect.

He will no longer be part of our diversity team going forward and will focus on his STEM [Science Technology Engineering Math] work.

Is he actually fired, or did they reshuffle him internally due to Palestine being a hot-button issue?

These lines cut through the obvious PR BS, as if we needed that validation:

[...] it was reported that Sony sold less than one million PlayStation units in Japan throughout all of 2020. It would be the console lines worst sales numbers since it launched in 1994.

[Hulst] talks about Japan being part of Sony’s success in the past tense. It’s not future focused.

Thanks for the compilation, this is great work. I wish there were communications mid-to-late year acknowledging the farce that is masks, etc.

Feel like even this is largely going to get brushed aside due to "evolving news" despite the obvious inside track...

On the bright side, it appears he has a book that is being cancelled by some major retailors.

Do you think Islam got it right when it comes to women? What parts, if any, do you disagree with? There are variations of Muslim society, pick the closest one to your tolerance.

Personal: Other than the onset of hormones and the handful of years required to get them under control, I've been anti-modern?-marriage even as a child, and extremely nihilistic when younger than that. My view might be warped. But I wasn't necessarily anti-feminist originally, it started maybe 10 years ago and grew into a raging inferno over time.
