Fair enough - and the styles definitely changed over time, if you go back to the 50s, 60s, and early 70s they’d often come up with less hectic, more geometric designs based around bold colors

Wow! I wonder if Miura (Berserk) ever came across this guy’s work - at a minimum they’re channeling the same energy lol
That’s gunna be one half of the inevitable music themed tournament I think - so even better you could play The Who’s Tommy Pinball Wizard : The Official Pinball lol

The only question is what’s the other half
Btw, for anyone interested, the 4th c/gaming pinball tournament just started a couple days ago (with two weeks to submit a score):
https://communities.win/c/Gaming/p/19Adpuf8dB/pinball-tournament-iv--i-am-the-/c
The tables are Judge Dredd and Cactus Canyon
Interesting thread from the big pinball forum:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/art-inspired-from-other-works
While he never made art for any machines, you can tell that a few artists who did were being directly “inspired” (shall we say, lol) by his stuff.
Great recommendation
Gay jew obsessed with transhumanism strikes me as high on the “what are the odds this guys a lizard person”-scale, which isn’t even taking account of how he’s wormed his way into the halls of power in a manner which would make Roy Cohn or Henry Kissinger cream their pants.
What have you seen from him which leads you to extend so much benefit of the doubt that you’d trust him over Webb, who imo has displayed a legitimate moral fortitude and ethical backbone which for all intents and purposes doesn’t exist amongst public intellectuals/journalists, and hasn’t in decades, and especially that I’ve never seen coming from theil or anyone associated with him.

Highly relavent context from the woman who “broke” much of the story vis a vis Epstein’s connections to the intel agencies of the world

Or maybe you just didn’t treat them as political. 1/3 of the human companions were gay. The lesbian companion’s girlfriend is a key part of the DLC, the meta way to play is to pick the “give me gay dialogue” perk, and so on. If a game came out with those features today, many of the same people shitting their pants in this thread would be shitting their pants in their own threads on the subject
You're either a gay retard or you're being disingenuous. Christ, at least use better examples.
You fucking mongoloids would call Metroid woke
Lmfao
A purity spiral is a theory which argues for the existence of a form of groupthink in which it becomes more beneficial to hold certain views than to not hold them, and more extreme views are rewarded while expressing doubt, nuance, or moderation is punished.
Sounds like what happened back then, sounds like what you faggots are screaming for ITT
Thanks for proving my point I guess
Interesting to hear coming from a staunch atheist - where do you derive your absolutes from? Biology? Some philosophy?
Was that the whole point with Fallout NV? Why or why not?
If GTA San Andreas came out last year would it have been called woke by some for its ghetto focus and showing the (white) cop as corrupt? If New Vegas came out last year would it have been called woke by some for that gay Confirmed Batchelor perk (among other things)? If Halo came out last year would some people have criticized it for its “woke” interpretation of religion (the covenant)?
Somewhat rhetorical questions but I’m also interested in peoples opinions so I’m posting this under your comment even though it’s not a direct response. To your point about kcd2 specifically, I think we should be capable of discerning between games with 1% gay shit and 51% gay shit and 95% gay shit, but that doesn’t necessarily mean treating those games differently
Agreed that it wasn’t “organic” by any means, but I’d still say that the method {they} used to tear things apart was what could be called “purity spiraling” in the sense that the agitators and infiltrators were basically using early critical race theory to erode support for the “old white men” who would have otherwise acted as anchors for the movement
What do you do about “purity spiraling” and “eating ourselves” like we often see tear apart organization on the left (like with Occupy Wallstreet for example)?
The tweets have already been deleted / instagram is for faggots so here have a NYPost link if you want
I don’t know too much about him beyond a couple interviews I’ve seen but just to clarify:
Is he saying “without the blob america wont have pencils”
Or is he saying “without the blob America won’t control the international pencil trade (and all the accompanying benefits)”
iirc he worked at the state department, and by all accounts this seems to be how they’re taught to think there - in terms of “soft” power and hidden, plausibly deniable, machinations
I think if you use that domain you’ll have the same problem but in reverse - are you able to see the OP’s comments on patriots via his profile?
Make sure you’re browsing communities.win/c/kotakuinaction2 and not patriots.win/c/kotakuinaction2
Of course you’re right, to varying degrees. I’m just trying to offer a little counter-weight to the balance
It’s even crazier than that - Bally Williams owned Midway, and spun themselves off into WMS who made pinball and gambling machines and Midway Games who made the Mortal Kombats and a fair few other video games (Ed Boon programmed a few pinball machines even, back in the day before they spun off and he went with Midway).
Midway Games went “bankrupt” and got bought by Warner Bros (which is why they publish MK these days), whereas WMS and Bally got bought by another gambling machine company. Dunno if they still sell anything under those labels but the company that bought them is still around
The lonely light coming from the diver’s boat… it’s amazing how using just some table art and a back glass the designers could create the feeling of seeing into another world - but yeah the way the lights are used is very unique, kinda reminds me stained glass windows. Lots of people who play virtual pinball on their computers set it up so that a second monitor above the playfield acts like a real backglass, with simulated flashing lightbulbs and everything lol:
