I get a bad feeling that the writers did not read beyond the surface level details of the Fallout timeline. The trailer shows a lot of red flags. Watch Syntheticman's trailer review on YouTube. It's like 10 min, he points out the big issues.
They are going with Bethesda's saccharine world, rather than the more grimdark post apoc of Fallout 1 and 2. I know it's a really low bar, but I can see it being better than WoT or Rings of Power. I'm in no hurry to watch it though.
Immigrants even get free historical achievements now. UK prob has a few castles laying around they can give away as well. The Isle of Man and Orkney were always Somali heritage, how dare you question.
When the state protects you from words, are you really an oppressed? Seems more like privilege.
Logen Ninefingers, and Glokta from Abercrombie's grimdark First Law trilogy, starting with The Blade Itself.
Somehow Abercrombie gets not as entertaining in his later books in this universe, but the first 6 were dynamite.
Logen is like a Conan who's lost his ambition. He's a badass. The entire North fears, hates, respects him. He's trying to atone for his past. There's like a berserker spirit in him, that when he's too provoked or death is near, it comes out. He kills friends, enemies like. He's actually a bastard, but it's so well done, 12 years later I still think of him as a stand-out character. Think like a William Munny from Unforgiven meets Conan, with a hint of Dresden Files
Glokta is the opposite in many ways. He's just as ruthless, but from a position of authority. He's an inquisitor/torturer trope. Strategist. Working class manager within his realm. He used to be a war hero, but got disfigured and crippled. Now often jokes that a flight of stairs are his worst nightmare. He's written super wry, witty, funny, yet also a complete bastard, just from a different approach.
Jimbei from One Piece. He's a fish-man karate master, and former Warlord. One Piece is ridiculous at it's core, but Jimbei is such a good character. He's one of the few with honor, depth, principles, plays the mentor role, self-sacrificing. He's all of the things western heroes are lacking these days in every media.
Burton Guster from Psych.
Saitama from One Punch Man. He's often a blank slate, but the almost autistic oblviousness, contrasted with his power/focus, concern about small things, when all this Earth-shattering shit is going on, cracks me up. Combined with Genos, King, Blizzard, Tornado gags, there's a lot of good stuff here.
Clay Cooper from Kings of the Wyld.
I think their audience churn is just really high. So the YouTubers have to reach farther and farther for new viewers and engagement.
You search for something to confirm your thoughts, you find some of these commentators, and it is entertaining for awhile. But, after watching so many hours of their content, you no longer need to. You can predict their reaction and opinions. Why bother wasting the time to watch the video? That's why I think they have so much churn after awhile. Audience leaves because it's predictable content. The thumbnail tells you everything.
The drama farming eventually blows back on you, and these mid to big channels inevitably reap a shitstorm, or splinter internally.
Recommit to making sure that everyone can be who they are? Even truckers on strike, or white people who say naughty words online?
There are alien civilizations out there, but they are too far away to visit Earth. The chance that we are around when they do is tiny.
If they are truly interested in trade or relations, they wouldn't do this peek-a-boo shit. They'd just say, welcome to the galaxy. Here are the rules. You are a 3rd-world planet, so these are the low skill trades available. We like your x y z resources. Your art sucks. Your language sounds like screeching retards.
Supernatural is a different story.
I think it is partly remnant energy. Partly weak points between 'membranes' or realities. Also, higher 'level' interdimensional beings attracted to a particular point in time. Usually after great bloodshed / expenditure of energy.
It'll probably be in Sweden first. Fiery and mostly peaceful grenade riots, until someone pushes back. Some soy cop gets shoved by the crowd into a muslim chick, barely tapping her on the head with a clipboard. The swarthy girl soccer flops all on video, and we get summer of Mohammed Floyd II, the the regressive propaganda mill will kick in, and riots will break out in Germany, France, UK, NYC, etc
If you view yourself and your tribe as an oppressed victim, you can never be a hypocrite. Anything you do is fighting the systemic shmatriarcgyny hate care affirming shabblemubbo. So the magical negro trope is fair game, and not at all problematic like it was... 7 years ago. But, if an oppressor makes a film with that trope, then it is bad again.
Another put a chick in it and make her lame and gay for 2023?
Reminds me of the red SUV that ran over those people in Waukesha. Commies losing their ability to assign blame when it's a supposed oppressed at fault. How dare you read the sacred Tranifesto! It was written by no one, but it is sacred and verboten to read it.
Can't find SCotUS leaker, Epstein's clients or Hilary's entire friend list.
But they pulled babies out of incubators and threw them on the floor, then used sarin gas, but 6 Ukrainians refused to surrender, and told them to fuck off over the radio, while the Ghost of Kiev destroyed their last mobile battery. 51 intel officials signed a letter saying that this was likely to all be close to the truth according to anonymous sources familiar with the truth's thinking.
It could be Insomniac employees getting axed after Spider Man 2 launch. Happens alot in AAA. They keep a few on for bug fix, and DLC. They'll start to hire up again when they work on the next big project.
Sadly they rarely lay off the actual shit employees. They are protected.
Cis is a slur.
Also, no way am I playing 'theatre of the mind' style pen & paper RPG with a bunch of sophistry post modernists. It would be hard enough to defend your actions/follow the rules with a grid and minis with these people, let alone a more arbitrary situation that relies on good faith interpretations.
I lived around and at times in SF for 10 years. Left in 2014. Went back to visit recently it is fucking incredible how drastically things have devolved. It used to be tenderloin and hunters point were the bad spots. But, compared to Tampa and Atlanta hoods, they felt tame. Now... That shit (also literal shit) has spilled out all over the city. It just feels like Detroit 2.0 is coming. (or here already)
The tech bros over-bubbled the markets, forced out the working class. Except for the rent controlled squatters, so you had this massive contrast. Tech bros are at work all day, and loners/no community at home. So the streets are left to the hordes. Throw in fentanyl and legal theft, covid authoritarianism smashing 5 out of 6 small businesses, most of which needed the rich tech bros to function... Once critical mass of them started working remote and moving out to the far suburbs like Fairfield, i think that was the deathblow.
Huge dem bureaucracies have no agility or ability to adjust, to fix things. They always address the wrong, surface level shit that you can virtue signal off of. Policies crushing all small business? Meh. Small business leave? Food desert! Why would huwhite supremes do this! We'll throw a billion at minority owned businesses, via a charity my cousin set up, of course she has a 95% administration overhead, but she is doing so good for her community.. which happens to be in Martha's Vineyard, but.. you're a bigot.
For real. Asian actress quality in Hollywood is abysmal. There are way too many uggos on camera. But.. now that I'm thinking about it it was more noticeable 5-10 years ago. Now, almost every chick is ugly.
You'd be able to buy a car and a house with a retail job. Low skill jobs would pay more, and it wouldn't be because the government told those business owners they had to meet minimum plateaus. It would be because you'd have to pay more to attract workers.
Think back to the 50's and 60's. Was that all because the dollar was stronger? You had families built around working class / service jobs. You could work a trade job and not be a pariah to women.
Now.. we're almost at the threshold where this wont be an issue, automated everything. I don't really know how shit is gonna shake out. I am repulsed by the idea of 60-70% of the population being on government payroll to do nothing. Yet.. if there's so much less do to. It's not like you can force everyone to be entertaining or creative, or skilled labor. There's gonna be a lot of idle, angry people.
That's if we even get that far I suppose. 2030 agenda may be a part of 'their' solution. Owning nothing fits in line with preparing for a critical mass of unemployed. It'll be easier to rent / license them shit, every facet of society nickle and diming their weekly government gibs back to zero, on a global scale.
Decolonization = kill whitey, no matter what post modern leftists will try to weasel otherwise.
If the shots worked there wouldn't be boosters. The only thing the shot works at is making money. Tell her you are in a high risk group for the side effect, so much so that most of Europe doesn't let young men get the mRNA boosters anymore.
They got a new rainbow god, why doesn't it supply gay lunch? Kids can't eat ideology either.
Why are they like this?
Ghosts of Tsushima is very solid. All round good game. No idea about Plague Tale.
Fatty is mixing up her they's pretty badly. Your they's are turning on you tubby.
The B plot will be the plight of ghouls. How everything is just so unfair and prejudiced against them. Despite being around since before the bombs, they'll be negative culture. More soulful saints of their oppressed kind, than productive. The gun-slinging sheriff will be an exception, cause he's a white cowboy, ACAB trope. His ghoul oppression and lived experiences wont count because he is a chud.
Won't somebody think of the poor ghouls! Systemic life-ism is keeping them down.
