Enjoy it while you can, because I guarantee you, this quality will not last. Seriously, let's ignore the fact that this is fucking Netflix we're talking about, that we're up to our eyeballs in woke culture, and that Oda has been watching this project like a hawk. How many long-running TV series actually ended on a strong note? How many retained good quality from beginning to end without getting canceled? Because even before our culture went to hell, the odds were stacked against TV serials, and now that we've decayed so much, it's not a matter of if the series will rot into Current Year fuckery, it's when.

Hell, it's retarded to make a live-action adaptation to a story that's not even finished yet. They tried that with Game of Thrones and look at how well that went.

People were convinced the first season of The Witcher was good too. People were convinced that it was faithful to the spirit of the series. These same people, of course, never experienced the franchise outside of the third game, and were honestly satisfied just seeing Henry Cavill grunt like a caveman and swing his sword around in his cheap Geralt cosplay in one scene while the chick who played Yennefer flashed her tits in another. Only book readers smelled the rat immediately, and their complaints were summarily dismissed everywhere. But then the second season rolled out and it became abundantly clear to everyone that whatever quality was present in the first season was a bait-and-switch. I predict the same thing with Shitflix's One Piece. And because I have no horse in this particular race, I'm just gonna laugh at them when they feel the knife twisting in their back.

Lady, your biggest (and only real) claim to fame was a movie directed by James Cameron, and most of the audience for that film (girls and women of all ages) was only there for Leonardo DiCaprio. You were just along for the ride. In fact, I have reason to believe that most of the movies you played in were created and led by men, so not only do you owe a lot to the male sex, but you needed their help to get anywhere.

“The men who think you want and need their help are unbelievably outraging,” she told the publication. “I’ve even had a director say to me: ‘Listen, you do my film and I’ll get your little Lee funded…’ Little! Or we’d have potential male investors saying things like: Tell me, why am I supposed to like this woman?”

So you went into this with an entitled attitude, believing other people should risk their money for your personal project just because you're Kate Winslet, failed to convince anyone to do that, was left shocked that you're not nearly as big a name as you think you are, and are now going into full sour grapes mode.

Winslet also addressed the social pressures on body image and ageism that continues to plague Hollywood. She said that she was “consistently told I was the wrong shape” and “would have to settle for less.”

Ah, yes, proving you were always a talentless hack who got by entirely on sex appeal...

Winslet, who had been unable to exercise due to a back injury, said “I had to be really fucking brave about letting my body be its softest version of itself and not hiding from that.”

...And you're bitter that you can't rely on it to get the big bucks now because you're flabby, out of shape, almost 50, and nobody wants to see you naked anymore (let alone accept sexual favors from you).

Sadly, we all know how this is going to end: with the teacher fired after she is forced by the union to make a public apology to MISS Parker, her family, and all the other alphabet people she offended at the school. Maybe she'll face a little lenience due to being a black woman, but leftists are very unforgiving to any that stray too far off the plantation. Unless she's a hardcore black supremacist as well; then she might get some serious protection from the other supremacy groups she can get in contact with. Then we might enjoy ourselves a little civil war.

It's short for "fujoshi," which literally means "rotten girl." It refers to a girl who's obsessed with shipping male characters together (or just watching homosexual men go at it).

The issue with these lines is that they violate the "show, don't tell" principle of writing. We have characters going out of their way to describe themselves, or others in this case, in overselling ways that don't come across as natural and are nakedly there to serve as a shortcut for proper characterization. Or they're trying to make these characters more impressive with minimal effort. The fixes needed aren't something that can be done with a few line replacements. We're talking about a complete overhaul about what's actually written and how the characters present themselves.

Here is an aspect of her character you will not be able to derive through standard game play, or we wish for you to know about her up front.

Way to prove my point. They couldn't put in the effort to SHOW me why Naeva is so awesome by having her do something awesome, so they just have her simp TELL me she is.

I'm more offended by this dialogue.

"You need anything for your ship, she's got you covered."

"She may be a little rough around the edges, but she's just looking out for her own. There's no one better to have your back."

"Naeva's got a fire in her. The kind you only see in an engine pushed to its limit. She doesn't half-ass a damn thing and I love her for it."

This isn't how people talk. This is how bad writers make people talk because they have no idea how to have the characters demonstrate the personalities they envisioned for them through their own actions. And knowing this is a Bethesda game, the only thing I'm sure either of these two tough-as-nails hardcore lesbians do is stand around like statues and talk tough while they give you your mission and expect you to do all the dirty, dangerous work. And then run around looking like fools when violence does break out because the animations and AI are still crap. Either way, it's your guy who does the heavy lifting, but is forced to tolerate these cunts' condescension for plot reasons.

Though for what it's worth, this Naeva sounds like an abuser. She sees her girlfriend doing maintenance work on a malfunctioning area of the ship and her first reaction is to get mad and demand to know what she's doing, because she can't stop being tough and belligerent all the time. And when Jasmine tells her to have faith in her, Naeva condescendingly says she always does. Yeah, didn't sound like she did, and that was a pretty damn sarcastic tone. And as for Jazz, she's coming across as a battered woman trying to hide behind a girlboss facade.

I think you are black, im sure you know what i mean. Western game devs often make black females look ugly.

Especially since they use that bug-eyed whore, Debra Wilson, as the basis for most of them.

Eh, I wasn't planning on buying it anyway. I kinda got bored of Bethesda's games, Starfield never looked interesting to me (on the contrary, it always looked boring especially in comparison to TES and Fallout), and I'm generally just not a big fan of space opera settings.

Go! Go! Go! Strike! Strike! Strike! You can do it, voice actors! I believe in you! Strike for as long as it takes to fulfill your every demand from those greedy corporate overlords! Don't give them an inch! Show them that you are willing to drag this out to the grave.

And I'm sure the good people at Baltimore would have hailed those police as heroes if they rolled in and put down those violent psychopaths like the rabid dogs they were. Not obstructed them every step of the way even before the guns came out, accuse them of wacism, and promptly riot afterwards, which they never do whenever a black career criminal gets his ass deservedly beat or put into the ground.

Oh, and if only the police could have just teleported in and sorted the whole mess out instantly. Too bad they had to be told how many people would be at this party and how many police would need to be present to provide adequate security ahead of time. So fucking lazy, entitled, an biased against black people.

The report says community members believed if Brooklyn Homes was majority white, there would have been a more adequate response to preventing violent outbursts.

Correction: there wouldn't have been a shooting period.

They should have killed Vee off permanently and ended the 'main' story there and come up with some kind of new main character than can explore the Cyberpunk world without being constantly being referenced as terminally ill yet magically able to wall jump and fight with arm blade attachments.

That's what I would have done if I was making this game. And I wouldn't make it an expansion pack, it'd be a standalone game that you could buy and play without any of Cyberpunk 2077's baggage (or costs). 'Cause I'm not interested in playing as this loser who fucked up early in his career, is doomed to die, and is ultimately just there to be a glorified vehicle for Keanu Reeves playing as Keanu Reeves.

And unfortunately, the only men they end up attracting are the ones that need to be kept as far away from children as possible.

Dang, I was hoping this was news article stating they went bankrupt and were shutting down despite earning much acclaim from the Subnautica games because they actually overspent on those and thus failed to turn a profit or something along those lines. That would have been a fun read nearly on the level for the disastrous end of Telltale Games.

Just have black people shoot them. The more ghetto-looking, the better. The cops'll let it slide then.

There was still a holdout from Dragon Age: Origins? Huh. Who was it? Mary Kirby? Hm, she wrote Sten and Loghain, some of the better characters from it. Though considering she was still around for DA2 and Inquisition, I can't tell if she was pulling double duty as a tard wrangler, or was one of the reasons they were both so bad.

They'll learn they're still oppressed by straight white men and da patriarchy and that they need to go even harder on the rainbow mafia feminazi propaganda.

We're not thuper! Thankth for athking!

Restaurant kitchens were rife with homophobic abuse, he said, and even the traditional “pink ghetto” of pastry operations was usually run by straight white men (though women and gay men often carried out the pastry chef’s vision).

Gee, I wonder why that is?

Both men say they hope to pull the company back from the brink and continue without Mr. Chapski, whom they hired as a financial adviser in 2011 and made a partner in 2016. The founders continued to develop new products and marketing efforts, but Mr. Chapski effectively ran the business.

Maybe it's because straight white men have a better idea on how to run a profitable business (for better or worse), whereas gay men with permanent persecution complexes and who base their entire identity around what they want to stick their dicks into, just want to fuck around, prance like fairies, and pretend they're making a difference in the world.

In the 2016 partnership agreement, Mr. Quint and Mr. Petroff each retained a 35 percent share in the company, with the remaining 30 percent held by Edible Assets. That same year, they signed an amendment that gave Mr. Chapski “final authority and unilateral decision-making power over all financial matters,” while granting the same power to Mr. Quint and Mr. Petroff for the “creative direction” of the company.

Yeah, you guys are fucking idiots! By giving him full authority over all financial matters, you effectively signed away your "creative direction." Which goes with what I previously said: YOU WANTED TO JUST FUCK AROUND MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO RUN A PROFITABLE BUSINESS!

Granted, this Chapski character might not be so competent either, which is why this business crashed and burned, but he was thinking in terms of profits whereas these two rainbow-wearing chuckleheads were thinking in terms of GAY! They just wanted to make GAY! ice cream for GAY! people and advertise how GAY! they were and how GAY! the whole world should be, and expected Chapski to more or less do all the actual work that goes into running a business for them.

Worse, it's an improvement over the real thing. I don't know what the hell happened to Debra Wilson after Mad TV ended, but the woman clearly lost her marbles and became just as insane as the characters she frequently portrayed on that show.

Here's an image of her for those with courage and/or stupidity.

At least the bug-eyed thing from Fallen Order looks like it's trying to pass off as human.

While I don't care for ultra-sexualized characters, male or female, and things like chainmail bikinis, skintight catsuits, and midriff-baring armors annoy me, the opposite of making characters, namely female characters, as sexually unappealing as possible is frankly worse (especially since the males in those media tend to be conventionally attractive). It's a failed Brown M&M Test that tells me the devs are intentionally making the game to appeal to hypocritical leftist lunatics (and for ESG funbux), and to spite the old, traditional, majority audience. It's bad enough and so prevalent these days that I'm now perusing stuff I wouldn't consider in the past because of how blatantly horny they are because I at least know they were made with some effort to be entertaining products, and not to spit on me for merely existing.

Doubt she was even being homeschooled. At most, her single mother just told her to go read some shit before lighting up some hash or fentanyl.

"The victim and the suspect were friends." Ha. Friends. Ghetto trash have no friends. You only need to listen to them talk to one another to understand that. There is no note of politeness, respect, gratitude, civility, or affection in the way they interact. Their discussions are always loud, argumentive, and laced with hostility, like they're constantly sizing each other up and looking for a fight for the most retarded reasons. The only reason they don't immediately kill each other is because they know they've got bigger fish to fry who they will drop everything for to attack, usually in the form of some ghetto trash from a rival gang. That gives them a little more tolerance for "dissing" from their ilk but that doesn't mean things won't boil over between them.

Not only was their gayness only implied in the game, it was not portrayed as this beautiful romance the HBO show made it out to be. The big thing about Bill's character in the game was that he was such a tremendous asshole and paranoiac that even his boyfriend decided he would rather die alone than put up with Bill's shit for one more day. He even wrote a suicide note telling Bill how much he hated him. I wouldn't have been surprised if Bill was honestly an abuser; guys like him never make pleasant company. But of course, you can't have a negative or nuanced portrayal of a non-straight character anymore.
