He’s onto you, yoisi!
They keep prior releases available under 'betas' in the properties of the game on steam, and you can roll back to basically any of them. The versions from before EU's GDPR became law don't meet the law's requirement to show you the games privacy policy so they are locked behind a code you can get from paradox where they show you their privacy policy first in order to be compliant. One code per game, and once entered the oldest versions remain available without further effort.
Wow, I was unaware of that. That raises my opinion of them.
Well, maybe. If you talk about Swedes in general, yes, the cuckery is meme-tier (although I think the rest of Europe, and maybe the whole world, has caught up since the heyday of Sweden YES, honestly.)
If you talk specifically about Swedes in video gaming, you get Notch and PewDiePie as the most famous examples, and if anything they both lean slightly right. Paradox itself is more of a mixed bag… the core of their grand strategy titles is usually good, and they allow you to do heinous things or play as villains with no problem. BUT their DLC strategy is too aggressive, and signs of rot have definitely been there. For example, all the human portrait packs in Stellaris have Hollywood-tier multiracial lineups, CKIII and Victoria III are not as good as their predecessors from what I hear, Imperator: Rome was mediocre, etc.
Memes are fine. Screenshots of tweets or headlines or random paragraphs from unidentified sources are the problem.
If dom added the word yasuke to an auto filter we would lose half the daily posts and none of the comments
This is a terrible example of “brigading,” since Yasuke is directly from a video game and is thus arguably the most directly “on topic” subject this board has had for months. It’s such a terrible example that it makes me assume you have no ability to evaluate what is and isn’t a decent post, or maybe that there’s something fundamentally wrong with your ability to see the relationships between certain things.
I agree with you that a lot of ConPro is soul killing, but the solution to that is not to ban every topic that gets discussed there from also being discussed here.
Are those not diddlers?
The leftist troll speaks in ebonics. Shocking.
It's actually smaller than that. It's not my job to improve the space. It's your job to improve the space. I'm just the mod. You are supposed to be the pillars of the community.
The single biggest drag down on this forum is the pedo pajeet, which only you can do something about.
I think that really, the whole arc is masterfully written because it's almost sympathetic. Weaved into the flashbacks to his own thinking, and his conversations with other demons (and that plot setup with the Hero of the South) you get an interesting picture of demonkind that shows that they aren't exactly uniformly monstrous sadists, and that by and large they, like humans are also just trying to survive... but as things stand, human survival and demon survival is almost certainly incompatible and you can't let the surface sympathy distract you from the fact that they are utterly alien.
If I remember right, that demon—who turned everyone into statues as you said—is probably the closest thing to “friendly” that we’ve seen from demons in the series. At least there’s some sort of mutual curiosity/respect going on there, on some level. The other demons think he’s weird for even thinking about trying to learn anything from humans at all. So even the guy who’s a massive exception by demon standards will still betray you in the end.
Do you think you’re posting on /The_Donald or something? I would say that the majority of people on this board think Trump has some big flaws but is still better than anyone the Democrats put up. Is that a position with which you disagree?
The head of Twitter at the time didn't really understand the concept because his ideological blinders were so tight he never realized that there was a dispute regarding the definition of gender; which caused them to have an inherent left-wing bias.
I don’t believe that this was a good faith mistake.
You understand that the no golden idols thing is worship, right? It’s not a prohibition on leaders in general.
“I don’t like any of the consequential actions that this group is taking, and the other group doesn’t take those actions… but they do say mean things!”
Wow, what a tough choice.
You can talk all you want about cross cultural ideas and relative genetic closeness and such, but I assure you, the Japanese and the Chinese are distinct and do see each other as distinct. To put it in a different analogy, I wouldn’t expect a story set in the Norman invasion of 1066 to star D’artagnan, and if it did—without a huge part of the plot being devoted to why and how—I’d assume someone fucked up.
Son Wukong (aka Goku lol)
I thought that character was Chinese, though. Obviously it's spread beyond China and is in Japanese pop culture as well—Goku, as you point out, and others I'm sure—but I don't think it would be appropriate as a semi-historical thing specifically confined to Japan. It would be better to use Susanoo for something like that, wouldn't it?
To a certain degree. That said, there are ways you can fake it; the writer has hours or weeks to solve a problem and can then have a character divine that same solution in a few seconds, for example. You can use a computer to do complex calculations, then have the character perform them mentally. You can consult and research with people that are smarter or more knowledgeable than you, then have you character use their knowledge.
In general, it is harder to write a smart character than a dumb character, because a smart character has to be capable of solving problems in smart ways. If you aren't careful and skilled, it's very easy to either end up with a "smart" character that's actually kind of dumb because he misses solutions and clues and details he should figure out (ex: many episodes of Doctor Who), or a "smart" character that's really just magic (ex: many versions of Sherlock Holmes, basically every scientist in superhero fiction. Also many episodes of Doctor Who).
I don’t think Biden made the decision to resign on his own, but if he had, it would probably be the first decision he’s made on his own in the whole presidency.
This is a quote from Steven Moffat about putting black people in Doctor Who.
u/Telia your posts are usually interesting, but you should try to be less of a jpg poster. It wouldn’t have been hard to find a source for this.
He outsourced the comment to India.
Sure, except for the giant clusterfuck we’re talking about that happened just a couple days ago.
That’s a bad compromise. Those are also pretty extreme, permanent things that one wouldn’t wish on an innocent person, and unlike the death penalty, they don’t even prevent the murderer from murdering again, which is the real utility of the penalty in the first place.
Is it? Since the task passing of the death sentence is in the exact same process, it doesn’t change the odds of an incorrect conviction at all. All it does is add uncertainty as to whether that sentence will be carried out, which is a big problem if you get family members like Mollie Tibbetts’ dad. Or in the case of any criminal capable of hiding from or protecting himself from the family members.
Our board has too much plot. 0/10.
