I admit my trend in gaming tends to run more... not current, but it always threw me off a little when playing un-modded Stalker and the lengths they went to NOT use the actual names for in-game guns.

Thank goodness for mods.

I mean, there are alot of gun manufacturers that are actual big deals, money wise, so game devs atleast try to paste on a fig-leaf of deniability so as to deflect any legal attention if said companies don't like the association.

His stream of the recent Starship launch was peak hilarity, though.

Also a blatant demonstration of how much of a fucking imbecile he was. He claims to be all knowledgeable about this shit, yet he forgets that rocket parabolas and time zones are a thing.

Coming in seriously late with this, but I wholeheartedly endorse a nice set of Sony MDR7506 headphones. Comfortable even for my oversized cranium, large ear-pieces, and it'll handle a decade of daily abuse, easily.

It's also what a number of professionals use in radio work and the like. Take that for what you will.

They're just, ah, not wireless. But I've never been a fan of wireless anyways.

Are we the New Weimar?

Interesting video for the history and origins of the Weimar Republic alone. Not sure I agree with his overall conclusions, but...

Also active in Germany and a professor during the Weimar Republic.

I heard in a video essay that the effects of the Weimar Republic and it's consequences are still being felt to this day. Yeah. He's not really wrong...

There's been a surprisingly quiet yet consistent thread among anthropologists that are studying the matter, with people slowly coming to doubt the 'out of africa' theory.

There's also that slight little, ah, genetic problem. Africans have a ghost species of human that's only present in Africans. Interesting, that.

The number of people whom consider the new Dune movie such a wonder-watch depress the absolute fuck out of me.

I shouldn't be surprised. I doubt 90% of the people masturbating about said movie have actually sat down and, y'know, read the fucking book.

The first movie cemented my opinion that the director's knowledge of the Dune universe is a very, very wide puddle - impressive looking at the outside, but immediately goes dry the moment you jump into it. Yet, here we are, people loosing their minds over how supposedly awesome it is.

They constantly give gamers what they want and somehow make alot of money because of that.

Huh. It's almost like there's a lesson to be learned, there. Weird.

They'll likely keep pushing until they suddenly do face all those occupational hazards. All at once.

To paraphrase a video essay, 'These people don't realize they're about one bad week from being dragged out into the street and burned at the stake'.

Hagmind. The majority of women are stupidly susceptible to group-think and peer pressure.

It's occasions like this that make me want to go full Imp and wonder why we afford women the same privileges as men.

It's why they freaked over the NPC meme.

It hit far, far too close to home.

I'm gonna bitch a little bit here.

People say women voted for this - yeah, they did - but what doesn't get through many people's heads is that the women actively participating in sports are a minority of a minority, and it's possible that they actually didn't vote for this shit.

Women are not into sports. They just aren't. Hell, most men aren't into sports. It takes a special kind of mindset to get really involved in this stuff, and every woman I've met who are actually into this stuff and not just doing it cause their boyfriend/husband is are just a little bit off.

For that matter, alot of guys who get into sports and athleticism for a long period of time are just a little bit off, as well.

It's why I always get a little irked when this topic comes up and people go on about how 'WOmeN are noW SUfFERiNg'. Nah. I'd bet good money that the hagmind as a whole would consider atheltic women as pure pickmes and not really women.

Or maybe this is just my love of tomboys showing through, I dunno.

Leftists always attempt to pixel-bitch your argument, because they believe if they can somehow disprove one small, niggling element, that the entire thing comes down like some unholy house of cards.

It's why you'll get constant, repeated questioning and harassment from leftists/soyjacks that's just a tortured rephrasing a question you already answered - they're trying to get you to phrase your argument in a way that'll let them nit-pick it to death. Or, even better, dismiss it entirely because you committed wrong-think.

I've been seeing alot of this recently, especially in Warhammer.

I'm honestly surprised Eclipse Phase wasn't included on the list.

...probably means they just haven't been obscenely obnoxious about it.

It's going to have a cultural attitude shift moving forward, though.

People advocating for this don't get it. They already have trouble filling military quotas, and they're redlining trying to further insult and belittle military service. The so-called 'elites' seem to have it in their skulls that Americans showing up to fight their over-seas wars is just an assumed given that isn't even up for debate or question, when people's attitude is becoming more and more 'Fuck you, this is the governments war, and I fucking hate my government'.

Oh, it's gone on for longer than that. Arguably centuries.

One of these days I'm gonna sperg out and write a long essay on the topic, but to boil it down; A lot of pastors are smart, and realize the most terrifying force on this planet is a group of organized young men. So, alot of preaching acts to effectively neuter this - for some good reasons(roving bands of marauders are bad), and for some very bad reasons(you can't have powerful people getting what they deserve).

I think alot of Christians understand this implicitly, because they always shy away from really embracing scripture as written, and always fall back on more gentle interpretations.

Nah. It's just xenophilia. That's the left in a nutshell - they're like delusional weaboos for their exotic culture of the month.

Forcing people to conform to their standards doesn't automatically make them your standards.

They also understand beauty, and how it can influence people. For good or for ill, sure - but I'd rather have explicit fanservice than shapeless, genderless tumbler-blobs.

Anime and manga both are focused very much on beauty. I could take pages from Blame! and 'A Young Bride's Tale', frame them, and they'd probably receive high accolades.

This is part of the reason why they try to claim 'white people have no culture'. Or try to drive Bauhaus design in so many things - yeah, the so-called 'most popular architectural style' that everyone fucking hates.

You think you hate commies enough. You really don't.

Libertarianism can only work in a world populated by educated, right-leaning White people.

And even then, that's a strech.

Still, it's always interesting to see the 'masks off' moment when you volunteer the idea that White people should indulge in tribal and ethnic nepotism... just like everyone else.

I wish you were right. Let's just say I'm seeing alot of on-the-ground shilling in Reddit that are basically solo-trolling in more right-leaning spaces, like firearms and whatnot.
