SWTOR is a weird beast; an MMORPG that plays like an RPG that has one of the best storylines I've ever seen in an RPG(for Sith players, if nothing else. Though the Imperial Agent storyline is chefs kiss)
It's one of the few RPGs I've ever seen that has your character go from 'poor slave desperate to survive to ruler of a galactic empire' and does it right.
It drives me insane I'll never get that in a single player game. SWTOR is weird.
99% of women handle any sort of power badly, because they try and LARP like the 1% of men they actually pay attention to and get confused when it goes badly, not realizing all the work said 1% still have to through to be at least passable in a good leadership role.
Utah is an odd state that's kind of like California - great weather(sometimes), beautiful environments, but doesn't have the freaks and the local government is, well... weird.
So they vote and support this stuff because they're being 'nice' and don't have to deal with any of the repercussions, as the aforementioned pre-established weirdness keeps all the freaks away.
The part I feel that doesn't get stressed enough is just how fast all this occurred; I feel like Trench Crusade was mentioned as an alternative for wargaming and the Discord immediately started banning people.
I suspect there are people actively stalking various forums and groups to purposefully block any of the 'chuds' from moving into greener pastures.
exodus from Africa
Yeah, funny thing about that. The entire 'out of africa' theory has been under some fire given alot of recent anthropological discoveries. (Context: That article is from 2007 and the idea has only gained ground from further research.)
For even further weirdness, there's a supposed 'ghost species' that's present only in west africans that isn't present in European descended humans. Interesting.
Or maybe I'm just listening to too much Robert Sepehr. Fuck if I know.
And Gunbuster.
Hell, Gundam itself was a subversion criticism of the entire super-robot genre.
Japanese anime has no problem with evolving and devolving as necessary to expouse creativity and good story.
I've bitched about this before(and will likely do so again many, MANY times in the future), but part of the issue is that Americans vastly, VASTLY over-estimate the true population of minorities.
They really don't think that black people only make up around 13% or so of the population. We know why, or atleast part of the reason - hollywood propaganda constantly shoving minorities in our face to the point that they're no longer a minority. The monkey brain sees the pictures; pictures make up reality.
Their recruitment numbers must be alot worse than they'll admit to if they're jumping through hoops this badly.
Both the peasentry and nobility had a pretty hard, brutal understanding of thier role in the world; while the entire 'nobilise oblige' bullshit is in part just good PR, the life of nobility wasn't exactly sunshine and lollipops given the pressures most would suffer under. Whereas the peasentry would have a good grasp on just how tenuous life could be, and what risk were prevalent even in thier day to day life.
The middleclass, by comparison, requires a horde of artificial requirements to even exist; a mixture of city-focus combined with the need for hyper-specialized roles that were often small by comparison.
...shit, you may be on to something.
I'm not sure what's worse; that these people honestly believe what they're saying and they live in such an insulated bubble that anything contrary is impossible to consider, or they're just lying to everyone's face as easily as they breath.
Easily.
You don't expect a 3-d RTS to suddenly go lovecraftian horror, but here we are...
Anyone who played Homeworld 2 and the Homeworld Remake really shouldn't be surprised that 3 ended up being shit.
Ah, well. I still have Cataclysm.
Or the people leaving think they're in the minority, because everything that goes against THE MESSAGE is removed, censored, deleted, or banned.
Reddit is a massively curated clusterfuck designed around chilling the room and creating a false consensus, even in places you wouldn't expect it.
I've been to Salt Lake City, and, well. You're not wrong.
Mind, living in Salt Lake City is the last thing I'd want to do. Now, twenty minutes outside of in in those gorgeous, gorgeous mountains it's penned in by - oh, yeah, now we're talking.
Plus, you have to by alcohol at the state-run store.
I like to think of it as a masks-off moment - that the majority of women regard men as worse than most animals.
Cue Hoe_math's 'not people' schtick.
I fucking hate Windows 10 as-is. I'd still be on 7 if I hadn't been required to upgrade due to hardware requirements.
The more I hear about 11, the more I realize it'll be time to switch over to linux.
She's a retarded shill that doesn't know anything about history - and a woman, on top of that.
Lynchings were were fairly even across the racial board pre civil war. Post, eh, I forget the specific ratio, but the last mass lynchings in the US wasn't of blacks, but italians. And given they were involved in mafia stuff, I leave it up to you whether you think it was deserved or not.
Always force your enemies to play by their own rules.
If calling someone 'nigger' is a good enough excuse in their mind to get murdered, I don't mind treating them the way they want to treat me.
I'm a weak-willed shell of a man. I logged onto steam, saw it was on sale, and grabbed it.
If anything, the potential of combat alleviates the problem Banish had with endgame - beyond making a really pretty medieval city with mods, there wasn't much to do beyond diversifying your production. Which, admittedly, was rather fun, but could only carry you so far.
I figure if I atleast get thirty hours or so out of the game, I'll get back my money's worth.
It makes perfect sense when the EPA standards are fucking insane.
There is nothing natural about the market demand for cars in America.
Not so much sexual promiscuity(women have no problem fucking Chad, whereas men get left out in the cold), as because economic downturn means less opportunity for access to sexual relief.
A man needs to be successful in life in order to have a relationship, and when you take that away...
Banished
Okay, NOW you have my attention
Age of Empires and Cities Skylines
Well, fuck. Fine, on the wishlist it goes. I'll probably pick it up when my current obsession gets run through.
The increased size of trucks has nothing to do with consumer demand and has everything to do with increased EPA standards completely fucking over everyone and anyone trying to purchase a vehicle nowadays.
I've finally managed to get ahold of a copy of Eternal Dark: Sanity's Requiem.
It's so fucking good. It hits so many high notes I'm still gobsmacked no one's tried to copy it.
Ding ding ding ding ding.
She looks young enough that if she's teaching highschool, I'd bet good money it's cause she wants to get some on the side from her students.
