Yeah the whole thing reeks of a setup, but this is how feminists do it, then they use this as a way to claim evidence of patriarchy even though the judge and the whole court process was in on it. I find the whole larp very tiresome which is why I don't really pay attention to stuff like this anymore because when you find out how corrupt you are you know the outcome before anything even starts.
Probably because I don't have personal addiction problems and I also don't feel the need to show off to people like that but I've never understood the appeal. I think I once paid a very low amount of money to Planetside 2 just to confirm the suspicions I had about the maths about games like it and it confirmed every prejudice anyone's ever had about these games. People who talk this shit up can honestly fuck off out of gaming, I hate them and they belong in rehab with the other drug addicts.
Yes but when have double standards ever stopped leftists? The correct solution is to tell them to fuck off and gatekeep like crazy. It's sad how even people who should know better don't get it still and insist on trying to argue with these retards. They never ever cared about the game itself or the content in it.
Purely from a business perspective, you may have been doing your boss a favour if you did some digging on what exactly the douche was trying to sell you. It could be in typical woke fashion, that this has nothing to do with them trying to sell you 'Games Workshop' products but woke shit they're trying to offload on some unsuspecting bagholder e.g. the female custodes crap they're selling.
If the boss doesn't know this they may get a phone call finally from GW thinking they've scored it big but in reality it's some desperate douchebag who's trying to talk up Warhammer to the store when in reality they've got tons of product that they can't move. Just my usual schizo paranoia posting but it was kind of a red flag to me that you were getting repeat calls. People who aren't in a desperate position as we know from business psychology usually have no problem walking away from a deal.
I do get it, I hung out in MRA circles back in the day, so I do know even in passing that the red pill movement was not initially like this. However I don't think it can really be denied that they've been infiltrated by something else these days. I'm just pointing out even being someone who's looking at the red pill movement more charitably than the tradcucks this is what I'm seeing.
Normally I'd agree with you but we've all seen how these guys operate. It's not even about how much money they make necessarily, it's about who they know. So yes they may well not have anything like the expertise or money needed, but they possibly know somebody who knows somebody and that's how they have so much influence.
Half the time it's because they either overdose on makeup or they've had plastic surgery done by one of their baby daddies I wish I didn't know any of this. Or rather I should write the majority of the time, women aren't taking care of themselves.
That's completely fair, if you guys could give some examples that would be good at the same time as somebody casually looking at red pill stuff for the lolcow content Fresh & FIt and Andrew Tate are usually the only guys that pop up. I don't know if he counts as a red piller though but I do know about the whatever podcast but honestly his opinions seemed pretty tame to me by comparison and are just what most beliefs are with men these days when it comes to western women and how to deal with them.
The reason I hate these people quite a bit is because of how they're inevitably going to make so many single guys question themselves and if there's something wrong with them. Then you discover that these pricks are all a bunch of massive lolcows and they pay attractive women to sleep with them and they have even less game than the guys they claim they're 'helping'.
Okay, I'll put in the caveat of #NotAllRedPillers however I think it's fair to point out that quite a few of the red pill podcasters I've seen at the very least seem very suspicious when it comes to preaching about Islam and they act like borderline glowies in a lot of cases. I bring this up because I find Fresh & Fit very suspicious as well and they've pointed out they're Muslim in the past too.
Maybe not the red pill movement itself because I know there can be a disconnect, but certainly the more high profile people tend to have links to Islam and will preach it at any given opportunity. I'm totally open to being pointed towards a red pill type that isn't a blatant Muslim and possible glowie lol.
This is why I'm deeply suspicious about anything coming out from the news and TikTok about Argentina, Milei Derangement Syndrome is going to be a thing soon enough if things keep going well for him. His approval ratings are still pretty high despite the doomsaying from leftists. It's inevitable that many of the people who are trying to claim he hates poor people are rich douchebags who were getting fat off government salaries. He also faced a bunch of teacher protests because of course they'd be hopping mad about government cuts.
You see this constantly in the UK by the way, it's always exactly who you'd suspect that hates the cuts the most and they're always government employees who do incredibly well for themselves. They don't want any of it to end no matter how wrecked the country gets around them. Also yes, when examining the footage you can see in the background it's just people walking back and forth, fake as fuck.
Oh would you look at that! They're admitting to review shenanigans now but think because they're making a political point that makes the fraud okay. I'm fucking convinced now, I wouldn't be shocked if journalists were making use of review bots and they were the ones fucking with steam.
I hadn't even heard of Suikoden until now, but even just at a casual glance it's like with Warhammer and I watched a babyface video recently about Starfield and he made some very good points about this too. The people who argue about this don't even bring up the game, they're just defending ideology. Maybe not so much with Suikoden if it's still supposed to be technically a game people will play but the game itself is never the focus which is how you know none of these people are gamers.
This is why when Baldur's Gate 3 came out I did want to give it a fair shake as a game despite all the screeeing about bear sex. As it turns out there were tons more problems with the games' overall design and annoying behaviour that went far beyond bear sex which shows you how even people who were bitching about the game hadn't really played it and were just bashing it based on a meme Larian came up with. The gay attempts by male characters were far more frequent than just the druid and it even made the casual gamers clearly uncomfortable wondering why the party members were all sex pests.
Yeah it's fucking tourists, I've been wondering where they've all coming from and it looks like the games industry types are hoping to get their wish of Hollywood style fame with how badly the film industry is doing right now and as a result that means you have these twats coming in and spamming everywhere with their garbage.
It really does skew the reviews quite badly so it must be a nightmare for any dev looking to get genuine feedback. I don't blame newer devs as a result for just ditching the steam forums among other things. They either whine about cheats in multiplayer even if it's actually not as bad as that and they suck or they leave reviews for games they haven't even properly finished like with Baldur's Gate 3. A lot of the reviewers there admit they didn't even get fully past act 2. They also definitely didn't play BG1 and 2 which is why they're sitting there being normies and shrugging of all the major lore things wrong with the game.
In case you couldn't tell, it's been grating at me for awhile, you simply can't trust the ratings system anymore because normies have borked it and even without the botting behaviour they spam on whatever they think is popular. Quite often it's because of streamers playing a game as well that something gets a normie bump.
It's not just their refusal to maintain or allow for online historical libraries of abandonware games. It's the fact that they deliberately keep trying to revise history by releasing shitty remasters they know are terrible products and trying to wipe any traces of it. They do this because they know the original products make them look so bad because a bunch of autists in their garage managed to make a better load of products than studios with billions.
We have to face facts, they hate gamers and everything they stand for, which is why they're expanding their propaganda and are trying to entice normies into gaming to replace them. For some bizarre reason as well they're working with the government in order to do this. My money is on tax embezzlement and money laundering personally because I'm not buying it's ideology and they underestimated how many gamers are still resisting so they're butthurt they can't win against a bunch of nerds.
The DLC was certainly a better 'cyberpunk' experience and more in line with what was promised. However I still feel completely cheated by the overall game especially when it came to the lifepaths bullshit that they're still trying to advertise as if they matter. Realistically you could cut all of that out, have Vee do a default start and then that would make more sense if it was a bit more of a linear style story.
I would fix the story by properly killing off Vee because I didn't find him particularly likeable as an MC anyway it it's blatantly implied in all scenarios that he dies. It would give CD Projekt Red more opportunities to explore the lore of the game and fix the crap they pulled while still being able to re-use assets.
They won't do that though, they've got this weird Vee obsession, second DLC in which you know they're going to do it's probably going to be another tacked on mess because normie sales have given them the leeway to do it.

Stockpiles are in and at least properly functional even if they don't necessarily animate correctly yet. Will need to keep doing tweaking to the animation behaviour. I keep wondering if I shouldn't do it through code using lerping or some other method, that will be something to think about.
Next comes the storehouse and trees, resources are going to be fairly placeholder in 0.1 but this will be all a setup for 0.2 and introducing the resource features for building among other things. I'll need to properly play test and scatter some villages around the island but I'm fairly sure now that capturing mechanics are 100% working. I've just got to tweak the range behaviour, then in 0.2 and onwards there will be constant tweaking and balance changes.
