I tried to play Fallout 3. It was a slog. After 12 hours or so, I gave it up - bad quest design, the starting area is an hour long, graphics-wise it's fairly bland and uninteresting, so on and so forth.

Fallout NV has no real mechanical difference between it and Fallout 3, but the moment I tried playing it, I was hooked, and hooked bad. Character creation is quick and to the point, you have an immediate problem you have to solve, and the starting area can be summarily ignored with multiple paths taken to get to your next objective.

To paraphrase someone else, 'A good game has you solving a murder. A really good game has you solving your own murder...'

I'm beginning to suspect that all this is just projection of their sexual fantasies and/or massive shit tests.

Insert Gilead meme here.

A part of me wonders if the reason this is happening now is due to cognitive dissonance surrounding covid.

They were told one thing, then told ANOTHER thing, then something else, then something completely different, all the while told to 'trust the experts' and wear the mask, bigot.

And while it's completely verboten to dare talk ill of the Holy Saint Fauci, peace be unto him, when this entire kerfuffle rolled around, the crossed wires in their brain short-circuited and went 'Wait a minute...'

'New'

Nah. I wish. I've seen the cliche 'Christianity is more of a threat than Islam' from the left for... good lord, longer than I'd like to think about. They honestly, deeply, unironically believe that we're just one bad day from turning the nation into a Christian Theocracy, and it's been that way for a loooooooong time.

Now, getting more traction in mainstream media - yeah, that I can see. The question you have to answer is why they're freaking out all of a sudden and throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks...

The Dark Side of Steroids.

Fair warning - graphic imagery. If you're one to be squeamish at autopsy photos, don't watch.

Anyone who's interested in taking steroids should watch it, though. It'll kill the urge to do so completely.

Yeah, I'm of the firm mindset that people like this would loose their fucking minds and be the first to call for it's censorship if they went back and watched the original.

These people have never seen or experienced ethnic and tribal nepotism.

And when they do, it's going to be too late to do anything about it.

Eh. I'm not expecting perfection from him. I feel he falls down a fair bit in that he'll make a good point but do so in a way that's so off-putting to people that they'll push back against it for what I feel are very good reasons.

(For an example of what I'm talking about: his recent 'dress well' video.)

It'll be interesting to see what he means by 'the female wall is a myth'. I don't believe that in the slightest, but I'll atleast hear him out.

If he really is that blackpilled, I can almost forgive and understand him for not going into the 'why' portion of 'Men should do this' part of his videos.

He's made small oblique hints to it, but he's yet to go down that particular rabbit hole. And if that's the case...

Edit: Morbid curiosity drove me to go take a look at Hoe_math's twitter. Holy shit, you weren't kidding. You can tell he's a bit more brutal in his off-the-cuff stuff.

Recognizing that there's a problem isn't 'demanding the moon'.

Have we really gotten to the point were requesting the absolute bare minimum is now see as 'female behavior'? Jesus fucking christ.

The Fleakazoid review on the game and comparing it to this generation's Left4Dead made me raise a few eyebrows and almost makes me tempted to try it out.

Tempted, but not quite there. I'll let it cook for a bit longer before pulling that trigger.

Women and men need each other.

Bull. Women need men to build civilization and keep them safe, even as women refuse to acknowledge this, and most men are forced to provide this via social shaming and/or threat of violence.

Men only need women to have children. That's it. Even then, said children can be taken away at any time should the woman start uttering the magic words to invoke the state's power. 'He hit me', 'He abused the kids', 'He's a deadbeat dad', and society will automatically defer to her judgement, explicitly because she's a woman.

Look, I get it. In a perfect world, there would be give and take, back and forth - a reciprocal arrangement where both men and women benefit from getting together, getting married, and having children. We do not have that. Not by default - a man nowadays has to vet women to such an extreme that it's insane, and all that vetting can be ruined in an instance should the women go off on a temper tantrum.

I'm not going to blame a man in the slightest if he looks at all of that and promptly GTFOs. You talk about forgoing society? Then give men a society they want to be apart of.

Mentally ill people doing mentally ill things. Shocking.

Admittedly, upon reading the headline, I was expecting a more Marion Zimmer Bradley thing, so not the worst outcome, I suppose.

It is funny when the whole 'women are wonderful' aura effect gets stripped off and people get a peak behind the curtain, though.

'Deference to your superior' is a real thing and very interesting to see in action.

God help you if you, say, run a training camp without permission or at the same time as someone else higher ranked than you are. You will get in some hot water and you will be apologizing. In writing.

I've seen this happen. My own sensei won't have class if there's a training camp going on, specifically because of that. There's an arguably valid reason behind said action, mind, but it's fascinating to actually experience it.

I've heard so much conflicting information on whether wild boar is good to eat, I don't know who to believe.

Some people swear by it, some say is disgusting, some claim it's how you prep it, ect, ect...

If it comes to that, I'll just stick to deer and add plenty of fat to my roasts.

Shut the fuck up, Kafka.

I've still got a truckload of salt from the day that Opera switched over from it's in-house browsing engine to yet another bad copy of chrome.

I've yet to find a good replacement, as you said. I tend to use an unholy amalgamation of Vivaldi, Brave, and other whackass alternatives, but if anyone knows of browsers that don't use Chrome as a base, feel free to share.

I'm guessing that this is yet another white knight male feminist desperately trying to be 'one of the good ones' to get a lick of pussy, somehow.

Not going to watch the videos, so someone else can tell me if I'm on the mark or no.

Nepotism.

Just because they get the job doesn't mean they're actually good at it.

Women refuse to consider the idea that privileges are earned, not given.

I mean, color me heavily skeptical, but I suppose that's one way for everything to blow up.

Find someplace better to live in and move.

Really, it sounds like where you're living is what's killing you. It's a bad fit, with people around that you don't mesh with, and no location nearby that you can skip out for a quick weekend to get away and do shit. As above, so below. Pop smoke and GTFO.

Wouldn't surprise me if Square Enix is giving marching orders to NexusMods in the background.

I'd hope they're atleast getting paid for this shit, but given this band of idiots, they're probably doing it for free.

Fries. Give me a choice of Wendys, McDonalds, or Burger King fries, and I will pick Wendys, every time.

...god, I miss when I could just eat that shit and not have a care in the world. Amazing what you enjoy when you're young, dumb, and don't know any better.

They likely exist in an extreme echo-chamber that will actively go out of their way to ban and/or exclude anyone that so much as drifts in a direction that could be called 'right'.

So, because they exist in such an echo chamber, the only way someone could disagree with what they believe is because they must be 'right wing'. Regardless of what that opinion is.
