This is concentrated roll left and die. The game is going under, not even the most delusional leftist can deny it. Since the result is the same regardless of what they do now, they turn the virtue signal up to maximum so that they have a nice portfolio for being hired at another woke studio.

Jontron made a wise choice moving to New England instead.

You press it and it makes a noise. It's there to distract you and make you feel like you're doing presidential things. It would be bad for us if you wandered off.

Yep, a few years ago, in Canada, the questions were all about

A) Traveling to certain countries in certain time frames B) Contracting Diseases C) Working with monkeys D) Trading sex for money E) Being a homosexual man or having sex with a homosexual man.

They axed the part about being a homosexual a few years back, and the donation centers positively ooze leftism, so I don't do it so often anymore.

I don't know, the Korean border is fairly interesting when it comes to wildlife, so maybe fully militarized is the way to go.

I mean, do you actually know anyone who actually plays Raid: Shadow Legends?

It wasn't exactly secret that a modest marketing budget goes very far on YouTube.

Anyone who uses that Egg terminology really needs to be shunned from public life and/or institutionalized. They have basically as good as explicitly stated that the get off on the gaslighting and mental destruction of young men and boys, and also probably society as well.

They're psychotic.

Well, the Troon is Chris from the Mr. Beast crew.

Unsurprisingly, he was recently outed as a sex pest.

It's the symbol of a conquering ideology. Everyone would do well to remember what a flag is, and what it's for, and to take it seriously when one that isn't the one of the nation is hoisted.

After further research Rune's current identity is Chio Chompi. The voices are similar, but Chompi is definitely her. Currently people are theorizing that this is Biscotti's (who I don't know anything about) new Identity.

At a quick listen, there's a non-zero chance this is the same girl who played Rune Bunnura, who's made waves a few times for calling out censorious tourists and defending anime culture. Pro sexy, pro loli, anti western interference.

If it is her, it sets a good precedent that Hololive is continuing to add talent with these attitudes.

It's astounding how much effort they put into these gargoyles. Each one is uniquely terrible. It's like the opposite of anime same-face, but also much worse.

I'll gladly take only being able to identify which generic female character is which by the color of her hair, over this parade of middle aged dads.

It's fiction, so you think they'd at least go for the idealized, androgynous, twinky, teenage, femboy, if they wanted to do this shit. Well, their lack of subtlety at least makes it harder for normies to ignore. But on the other hand, what a horrible day to have eyes.

No, This is the CRTC (a regulator), that was the CBC (a broadcaster). It's all the same shit at the end of the day though, the Canadian government is incredibly corrupt when it comes to this sort of thing.

They're all either owned by the government, or rely on the government for so much of their funding that they may as well be

Movie is charitable. It was more like the pilot to a low budget TV spin off.

Alright, I suppose I have to spell it out... Take for instance the way corporations are not owned by the state, and yet they must uphold the state propaganda. Witness the State as God. This is fascism 101. All "Communist" governments eventually become fascist if they wish to endure.

There's a reason for that. Fascism works.

It's awful, but it is possible to have a functioning fascist state. With communism you run out of food and money too quickly.

There's a reason "Communism with Chinese characteristics" is essentially orthodox with fascist doctrine but with some commie window dressing.

Learn to read, retard. I'm talking about the doctrine, not retarded surface level racial takes.

Really? Take a closer look at the doctrines of each and tell me which is a better fit. Admittedly, the current totalitarian ideology has elements of both, but you may be surprised what you find.

Elon always has, and always will be a third faction. Elon is a man who has enough money, power and influence to pursue his own goals, outside of existing paradigms.

This of course pisses the globalhomos off, because they're fascists, and nothing can exist outside of their one world state.

In some ways, Elon is a relic from a bygone era, where an individual may or may not be sympathetic to you on different issues and people couldn't be summed up with a simple label.

Easy. You start the game and something is tedious. Then you upgrade or optimize something to make it less tedious. You get a dopamine hit.

You create a cool building full of machines networked together to do a previously very complex task. You get a dopamine hit every time you see your cool building on the horizon.

A train passes by filled to the brim with resources you used to have to travel across the map for. You get a dopamine hit.

Well, it may be for the best, chances are the crows would be bitching about the climate if it was left up to these hacks to give them new dialog.

No. There are a pair of lackluster new bosses, and now everything looks like paper (and is shiny for some reason.) those are the only selling points.

There's new music (which can be turned off) that isn't as good as the original sound track. Additional fast travel points are convenient but make an already fairly easy game even easier. Those are mixed bags that some people might enjoy.

Downsides: Localization nonsense, game runs at 30fps instead of 60 like the original, text can't be skipped or rewound, infinite continues in the pit to remove any challenge, partners recover with one HP after battle to remove even more challenge (and make danger strats even more busted.) And all the battle status/text stuff (Win, Level up, Bingo, etc.) goes way slower than it did on the GameCube version.

General consensus that you can just load an HD texture pack in dolphin and have a better experience.

Apparently they bothered changing very little from the previous translation, other than the stuff with Vivian, and removing "sexism" (read: anything that references gender that doesn't relate to Vivian).

So acknowledging the tranny is super important, but acknowledging that princess peach is a princess is forbidden.

And they're lazy, so don't believe anyone who says it's a more accurate retranslation. Nothing outside their pet causes got touched. Including the now incredibly dated conversation the crows have about technology.

We're pretty close already (and I, who hate most western voice acting would argue we're already there) to the AI being able to use the input from the Japanese Seiyu and the text of the new English line to do a better job.

Most ethical issues evaporate, and I believe many people would find it preferable, if some of the money that would have been used to hire English voice actors instead went to the original Japanese cast in exchange for the use of their voice's likeness.

The Japanese industry is very different, and they just do a better job and avoid the ego trips so common on this side of the Pacific.
