This is an episode of the Simpsons, The Trouble with Trillions. The government made a trillion dollar bill and Mr. Burns kept it for himself then ended up losing it to Castro and it was used to keep Cuba solvent because communism doesn’t work.
When the government runs out of stupid stuff to do, do they go looking to Hollywood for ideas or do they fund Hollywood to make them up for them?
If this works out for one game well enough to branch out and create a mutli-gaming group please consider expanding into either Factorio or Minecraft. Team Fortress 2 could also work if that game is still going and you want to keep things First Person Shooter based.
Given the content of the archive marking the thread or link as a spoiler or just NSFW would be good if linking to e621 again. For the few boomers or uneducated that don’t know what it is.
As for the guy, hope he’s as OK as could be given the situation and not just a troll looking for attention.
Disappointing but not surprising given the state of game localization these days. I know Marvelous and XSEED have had a long partnership for localization and I believe Rune Factory 5 sports both a male and female protagonist so that was likely the only way they could get the devs to add this kind of content. If it required a significant content addition I don’t think the changes would have flown.
In a saner world it would be the modders that would take over making changes that the devs passed on but we live in this world instead. Yet another reason to be PC master race and avoid consoles.
Not with current medical technology but perhaps in the future. There was a time people would have scoffed at organ transplants but those happen now. If you could live for another 1,000 years you'd likely see some serious stuff go down.

With the exception of France - Saint Martin specifically listed, all of those places are on the list of Canadian embassies and consulates.
Iran and North Korea both getting two ballots makes me think it's just government employees getting a standard mail-in ballot. Would the Canadian government use a different system for their agents abroad vs. citizens abroad?
If there’s an end-game to the vaccine mandate other than control it would be to split the country into pure Red and pure Blue States. Force conservatives to uproot from States that mandate vaccines and into States that won’t. Then we’re back to a Civil War footing and a large amount of wide-spread sectarian violence can be avoided in Dem strongholds.
I don’t think one studio standing up to woke will do anything at this point. It will require a sustained, concentrated effort over a long period to do any damage. Or a complete collapse.
Woke isn’t about making money with the product. I doubt it ever was. From what I see woke products are funded through diversity initiative grifting. Major companies in the multi-million and billion range and major ‘philanthropists’ like Soros throw money aside for DIE to signal their virtue. Some of this money then gets doled out woke companies to produce woke propaganda through diversity hire creators and the product sells like garbage because no one wants it.
Some companies like Marvel and DC might be able to force those woke books on comic shops but otherwise won’t sell. It wouldn’t surprise me if the books get ‘donated’ to libraries or schools as a tax write-off down the line. It’s about pushing out propaganda no one wants and to displace good creators from established companies. It also doesn't help companies get infested and become a cesspool of woke cliques that then go on to destroy the established properties while running the companies into the ground.
Independent creators that don’t toe the woke line get attacked and forced off of social media if the woke can swing it. There are far better self-publishing options available these days then before but if a based creator can’t promote their product on twitter, reddit, Patreon, gofundme, or other sites their reach is going to be limited and they’ll need to rely on word-of-mouth and others that do have that reach to broadcast for them.
I think the Japanese market fits the bill for non-woke sales. The products they make are focused on their domestic market and they don’t cater to diversity hiring or wokeness. They focus on making stuff that’s good first, or at least profitable, and aside from woke translation problems, don’t water down their content for foreign markets though I’ve heard that may start changing if they get more sales from foreign markets and listen to the wrong people providing feedback.
Spite buying or support buying is nice if you have the extra cash to throw down but I don’t think most independent based creators can count on that as a steady stream of income. They need to produce a good product first and if they can’t do that consistently then they won’t be able to maintain an audience. Grifters will also attempt to game any spite buying by offering a based product, grifting for cash, missing targets or pushing back deliveries, then people will get wary of supporting new creators trying to breakout after being burned one-too-many times.
The theory that they’re the same person doesn’t hold water for me.
RealDrJester puts out video content on YouTube so we know what he looks like. He’s not simply someone completely anonymous on the Internet. For him to run a troll account constantly attacking him would only make sense if he’s looking to garner sympathy from the trolling. That or he’s one Hell of a self-hating Jew.
As for the ‘Real’ in his name, it could be because there’s already a DrJester on YouTube where he posts his video content and keeping his name consistent across platforms makes sense. You’d have to see if his YouTube content started before his account here and any account he had on reddit, if he had one. Or it’s a reference to being “real” as authentic, i.e. not fake or a poser. Synonym to based for the older generations.
AzureAceStarburst69, well, I’ve lurked here long enough to figure he’s your standard troll. 69 because sex position 69 and it’s funny and plenty of places seem to require numbers in a username so the behavior carries over. Thrown a lot of anti-white hatred in his life so the views make sense. Claims to be a woman because of America’s gynocentric society and how screwed over males are due to the explosion on the diversity front. Why not catfish some online? If you catch something you can wear that as a mark of pride with your real friends.
I think you could switch the views between TheImpossible1 and AzureAceStarburst69 pretty easily even if the intensity varies.
I’m also awake before 6 AM ET and may lurk but never post. I assume most people here are up early but this website isn’t a core part of the functioning of our lives so why bother posting that early.
Does it count vaccine related injury as a hospitalization?
The graph doesn't include the partially 'vaccinated'. All of the jabs that are being given out, that I know of, come in two shots to be considered fully 'vaccinated'.
They're likely rolling up the partially jabbed into Unvaccinated and that would include those getting hospitalized for adverse reactions to the jab to pump up the numbers and increase the fear mongering.
A straight reading of this exchange is that his team did all the work and filled the report with stuff that only supports their position. He looked at no studies and no data that aren’t in the report so that if he’s questioned on anything bad he can claim ignorance.
