make it harder to know which tutorials were the best

You're not supposed to judge for yourself. You're supposed to let the algorithm think for you. Otherwise you might click on a video with "wrong" opinions. Trust the algorithm!

Of course the woke demand more censorship instead of creating a product that their customers would like. That's their "solution" to everything.

Yea, they know people don't like it but it's their ideology and it HAS to be forced down our throats.

Case in point: Microsoft put a review embargo ON THE CHARACTER CREATION.

Kind of rich coming from people who literally make a mass murder and assassination simulator.

I mean ... a quick look at the screenshots and videos on Steam tells you all you need to know: main character is a either a black woman or some brown guy. That's a major red flag these days. Add to that that Obsidian has been woke for a while and you know it'll be current-year slop.

The UK is just beyond fucked. What the hell happened over there?

It's like a giant open-air looney bin and the inmates are literally running the asylum.

Yea, that's a problem: many Google products are run at a loss to prop up their ad business. If somebody bought them they'd have to fundamentally change them to turn a profit.

With Chrome maybe the software industry could create a shared foundation because so many big browsers rely on Chrome these days.

You just know they've practiced that "crying" in front of a mirror for hours.

That's why I don't think anyone on the right buying it is a smart investment. Salaries alone are an endless money pit even if they buy it for $1.

Maybe it's a DNS server issue? I recently switched DNS servers because German ISPs block stuff like RT News.

Sounds weird to only block an IP instead of an account.

Are you talking Reddit or here?

"some of the places" might be doing the blocking themselves.

Plenty of nations are party to the ICC treaty. For example, all members of the EU have to arrest them if they enter.

I've watched several let's players play various sim games. They're somewhat interesting with entertaining commentary but I don't have the patience to till a field or mow a lawn as if it was real life.

It was originally called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mercenario btw (even I know that much Spanish ;) ). Strangely, Wikipedia categorizes it as sci-fi. You could call it medieval sci-fi, I guess.

Well, this technically isn't French or sci-fi (Spanish and fantasy) but I used to love this one because of the sheer quality of the art: https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Mercenary/

Every panel is like a small oil painting. Plus, well, let's just say you won't get stories like that anymore these days. The scanned version probably doesn't do it justice but no idea how easy an English print is to find.

One of the funnier comparisons is Farming Simulator 25: currently has 4 times as many players as Veilguard and a 50% higher all-time peak.

People would rather work a second job that pays nothing than play Veilguard.

Of course they did. This is the new "Astrid" BTW: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9135274/

Quality mainstream journalism never ceases to amaze.

There's so much of that nonsense in the game. In one scene a character misgenders that demon and has to do 10 pushups as apology for example.

Look at it this way: what better way to stick it to the left than to boycott their slop products and live a healthier life? ;)

Say the line, Austin Powers!

Guinness belongs to Diageo, an extremely woke and far-left corporation.

Black Twitter, an unofficial group of users self-organized around shared cultural experiences that convenes sometimes viral discussions on everything from social issues to pop culture. It has played a key role in movements such as #SayHerName, #BlackLivesMatter and #OscarsSoWhite.

They make it sound like black people are leaving but it's actually just a small group of self-important troublemakers, race hustlers and activists.

Every time I'm at the comic book store I can't help but wonder if anyone at Disney Marvel has ever been to a comic book store. Heck, do any of the people in charge of DC/Marvel ever go to any shops.

I doubt it. They're the kind of people who live online on social media in their echo chambers all day.

On a somewhat related note, I occasionally watch https://www.youtube.com/@AlphaInvestments69 It's some guy who invests in trading cards (mostly Magic, Pokemon) professionally. He stays out of politics and only talks business.

He frequently talks about how Hasbro doesn't know much much about brick and mortar card stores or even gives a shit. For example, Hasbro dumped a ton of product below cost on Amazon which killed a bunch of TCG stores and caused many others to shun their products. Basically, these people are terminally online and the execs know nothing about trading cards as the hop from unrelated industry to industry.

Pareidolia doesn't seem to be limited to faces, so I guess it would still apply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
