Foods?
If it makes you feel any better, I prefer the old definition of pedophile: someone who's attracted to a prepubescent child. A little kid with no grass on the field. A wee'un who's still more interested in Spider-Man than girls.
The word took a weird-ass turn and now it refers to a 20 year old who thinks a 17 year old is comely.
Also life sucked in 1910.
I mean, in the lore of MGS, the villian's name is Big Boss, but later you find out that a woman was The Boss and she was besties with a ghost named The Sorrow, and there's a Solid Snake and a Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake and.. premature aging.. and.. clones.. and jfc what the fuck is the lore of MGS
When Hideo said "I'm gonna make a simpler franchise where Daryl from The Walking Dead throws bags of pee at his ghosts and the goal is not to fall down too often," I was all in.
I think a lot of times, Spider Sense is a way of saying: okay, what your character is doing is humanly impossible. No one could possibly find every clue; no one could possibly find everything buried behind every stray brick. So you can roleplay that and bash your brains against a wall for a year of your life, or we'll just tell you if you hit L2. Your choice.
Yeah, comparatively. They didn't all die at 3 in 1910, and we don't all live to 500 today.
Yes, infant mortality was high. But even if you survived infancy, your chance of making it to age 10 was comparatively very low. And even if you survived that, your chance of dying from parasites or malnutrition was comparatively very high.
And yet this is your "golden age of human civilization."
In fairness, Dragon Age: Origins was a classic and it just plain wouldn't have worked without Spider Sense.
I agree with most of this, but Spider Sense definitely has its place. I don't want to play a game where I'm wandering around with my face up to the screen squinting to see if any collection of six pixels look interesting. I played Myst when it came out, and if you set nostalgia aside, Myst really fucking sucked.
Notwithstanding your blathery non-denial-denials, it is a fact that color video didn't exist in 1910, that the life expectancy in 1910 was about 47, and that the food was very frequently unsafe to eat in 1910.
Yes, we all know you're an evil sociopath. You don't have to advertise. The forum knows.
I'm curious: did you actually sit through that hour-long video, or did you just think "this looks kewl" and post it without watching?
If you colorize an old video, you're altering it. You're adding contemporary guesswork to something.
But I don't actually think this video is colorizing anything. I think it's just post-WW1 footage being presented as pre-WW1 footage. I think, in a nutshell, that it is lying to you.
He's showing colorized videos of crowds. There's no plausible way those could have existed before 1925, roughly a decade after WW1.
I only watched a few minutes of this. I wasn't interested in drinking in the full hour. But I present to you this link:
Was 1910 really the golden age of humanity? The life expectancy was about 47 and your food could literally kill you any time you tried to eat a meal.
I guess that's probably true if you count the natives as being "in America."
There was a time when only white men were counted as citizens, which made America 100% white by definition. The natives and the slaves might have said "what about me" if they weren't super busy trying not to starve.
Every time I take eight pictures of my kid trying to get him to smile, I immediately delete the seven worst ones. I mean, that's just basic hygiene. That's like brushing your teeth.
I don't know, man, maybe stop taking a photo every time someone sneezes. If you have a million photos, you kind of don't have any photos; it's just a mess of data sitting in a digital garbage can.
For now, at least, it's easy enough not to live that way. You just: refuse to. Like, don't put your pictures on the cloud. Just be like: no, those go on my hard drive. Problem solved.
But everyone certainly can learn to clap like a barking seal.
Why would you be an artist if you were attached to such a narrow and mindless worldview? Patriotism is for people who manufacture cartridges for a living.
Slavery never went anywhere. Now we just no longer force the masters to house and feed the slaves; they're only slaves by way of economic desperation and a legal system that prevents them from doing work other than agricultural labor for barely-survival wages.
so as long as Hematomato doesn't throw gas on flame wars like he did a couple threads ago, he's allowed to post his retarded redditor comments.
I've been around long enough to recognize a mod who's already decided to ban me and is just waiting for anything resembling an excuse. So I'm on short time here, but it doesn't have to be literally right now. Maybe it'll come down tomorrow. Who can say.
Sigh. Well, look, a mod has stepped in to protect your feelings and informed me that I'm not allowed to say how I really feel about this "stance" on the justice system, lest I make you feel sad.
So I guess I'll just say I'm really, really glad that civilized society has overwhelmingly repudiated every wretched thing you believe in, and leave it at that.
If Kyle Rittenhouse had been thrown in prison after being found not guilty, I'd have objected to that, too. I hate abusive judges that won't respect process. We have the right to a jury trial for a reason; take that away, and all you're left with is the government deciding who it is and isn't expedient to force into slave labor.
The jury listened to days of argument and decided Devon Dunham wasn't guilty of murder. You don't know the first thing about the case; you've read four sentences about it and decided that "black" is synonymous with "should be hanged by the neck until dead."
It was a civil rights violation. He was found not guilty of the crime, and they locked him up anyway. So much for having a justice system.
You didn't see any part of my post where I excused murder, because I'd never do that. The jury found that he was in fact not a murderer.
I can only imagine how you'd feel if you were cleared of murder charges by a jury of your peers and the government threw you in a cage anyway. But, of course, you don't want a justice system. You just want a system of letting one category of people do whatever the fuck they want and locking the other categories of people in cages.
I can only guess that you didn't bother reading my post.
They put him in prison even though the jury found him not guilty, though. They just did a bench trial where they found him guilty of possessing the gun he used to shoot Stevens.
The jury never talked to the media about why they reached the verdict they did. Maybe they believed there'd been a coerced confession. Maybe they believed the shooting met the standard for self-defense.
But it doesn't really matter, because our government expects juries to be rubber stamps, and when they don't do their rubber-stamping, the guy just gets thrown in prison anyway.
Yes, because I lead every conversation with Heil Hitler and wear swastikas. You probably think I've shaved my head bald, have a Nazi symbolism tattoo and wear Nazi uniforms to formal events, right?
No. I don't. I think you cowardly lie to people and hope they never get to see the real you.
So when she's telling you about how passionate she is about restoring and rebinding 19th century books, and asking you about your own passions, the only honest thing you could say is "Well, I hate niggers. And I especially hate kikes. And I hate jeets, and I hate beaners, and I hate spics. You'd think that I already covered my hatred for spics by saying beaners, but it's actually more of a Venn Diagram situation. Also I hate muzzies, and I hate streetshitters. I know I already said jeets, but I think it's important to add streetshitters for emphasis. Anyway, Hitler did nothing wrong."
But you don't say the honest thing. Instead you just sorta shrug and say "uh, you know, this and that." And then she knows you have secrets, and assumes you're probably a pedo.
You know who doesn't have secrets? Me. Because any situation where I have to fucking lie-by-omission to get what I want, is not a situation I want to be in. And I probably don't want that thing anyway.
Hideo did make one thing clear, though: he has a particular fetish for women who have a beautiful face but a hideously deformed body.
