I was expecting more out of Microsoft... And I was really hoping that more original Xbox or Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles would be announced... But I guess not. I’m a shallow guy who is looking forward to Forza Horizon 5 though. Ubisoft was unsurprisingly mediocre. Nothing truly great, but nothing awful. We shall see how that Avatar game will turn out. Square Enix could have been better. I’ll be watching the Team Ninja FF game though... Babylon Fall being a live service game is really disappointing though... Guess we shall see how the rest of it goes.
Indie gaming isn’t really doing that hot either my dude. There are so many games with gorgeous graphics wasted on games with the shallowest gameplay (how many overly simple 2D platformers about “muh depression” and “muh anxiety” need to exist?!).
Haven’t seen any info or trailers. But I am 100% betting that Velma is going to be a narcissistic alcoholic who by day spouts “witty” jokes and comebacks referencing movies, songs, and celebrities that less than 0.02% of the audience will remember or even have fucking heard of, and by night constantly gets blackout drunk and has pathetic one night stands frequently.
This is almost exactly what I was looking forward to seeing, though I think the real test would be a full scale conflict to see where the allegiances of these corporations lie. The CCP is making International companies choose between the West or China, now we need to see whether the US will chicken out at the behest of their corporate overlords, or whether these multi-national corporations will pledge full allegiance publicly to China.
Multi-national corporations are almost done siphoning anything of value from US consumers and now see China as the consumer market to focus on.
Doesn't matter, the narrative is already established. The truth doesn't matter, all that matters is gaslighting the normies immediately after an event into believing the narrative so that they will disregard anything that dismantles the narrative after the media blitzkrieg. When it comes to public discourse, if you are on the defensive (even if you are 100% right and the attacker is completely wrong), then you instantly lose the battle. That is why the media never defends, they just obfuscate and then attack the non-existent strawmans. "This country is filled with anti-science sexists, that is why Fauci is receiving so much negative attention!"
It's incredible how the silent generation and the boomers have completely changed the US into a form of corporate feudalism in less than a single generation. They just can't help themselves in destroying anything and everything that helped them get to where they are today.
Even with real estate, as others have said, you still have to worry about property taxes, so if you can't afford to pay $1000 for toilet paper, you can bet that many of these homeowners are going to lose their property from unpaid property taxes when the value of the home increases exponentially.
I wonder how hard it is to move out of South Africa? Maybe it is a matter of principal that these white people want to stay, but I really hope they all leave for greener pastures. Black South Africans are already going on killing sprees of white people, but it sounds like it is going to get even worse. It’s like Nazi Germany (except probably worse because at least a good majority of the population in Germany was unaware of the Jewish genocide happening, while South African blacks are fully willing to participate in the genocide themselves). Shit is going to go down, and the whites better flee before the black populace is empowered enough to commit full-blown genocide of all of the remaining whites. When the world has decided not to give a shit about you, and when the ruling oppressed are incapable of true self-reflection in a post-modern world, no amount of self-righteousness will save your family from being victim to the vilest acts of depravity.
I disagree with you on the first part. The idea of “progressivism” is so powerful in normies that many of them aren’t really driven away from leftism. It’s like the Ryan Long basketball sketch (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mK3xRUbnBUw), the guy on the left was a complete asshole, yet the entire group (except for the guy “right”) still preferred to be on the left’s team and tried to work with the left specifically to avoid having to be on the right’s team. No matter how unreasonable the left becomes, the normies will choose the left. Normies are willing to accept a lot of bullshit from the left, and are very impatient of those who can no longer take the bullshit. That’s why normies say that anti-SJWs are “just as bad as SJWs,” because they don’t like it when people question the institutions (which is completely dominated by the left).
Florida was incredibly close in voting for that corrupt black politician as governor. Any “Republican” Hispanics remaining will die out as the younger, native born Hispanic Americans generations grow up and hate America because they were told to by their teachers. Florida is on the verge of becoming a “blue state” where the majority of counties are Republican, except for 3 or 4 counties that constitute more than all of the other counties combined and vote overwhelmingly Democrat.
As others have mentioned, I think her success can be pinned on a few factors:
- Video Game Journalists who saw their profession as embarrassing (Most of them had dreams of becoming NY Times writers) and openly displayed contempt for their position by incorporating politics and socioeconomic issues into their coverage to make themselves feel more important.
- Failing Video Game Publishers/developers during the seventh generation who were incompetently staffed with higher ups who were successful because of market forces they had no influence over during the sixth generation of consoles. The seventh generation was the point of no return, where rather than budgeting smarter, they just tried to replicate the success of the sixth generation (which really was a relative boom in playing video games combined with budgets that were relatively easy to get a return on investment on) by trying to make games appeal to a much wider audience (a large part of that audience maybe only purchasing one or two games per year at most). The video game industry is constantly trying to expand the # of customers, convinced that attracting new customers is more important than retaining current consumers. The industry leaders saw the amount of money Anita raised from her Kickstarter as an indication of a potential market that they needed to pander to.
- The industry is full of autistic people who are vulnerable to emotional manipulation and are afraid of confrontation.
If Republicans don't pursue action against Fauci for lying under oath at the VERY LEAST (Which they definitely won't do anything against Fauci because they are just fake opposition), then it will be one of the greatest failures in American history.
The government fully expects minorities (and women) to fail at business. Leaving white small businesses out of gov assistance programs means less competition for corporations, and denying assistance to white farmers will allow corporations to buy up the land for cheap. Then the corporations will wait until the minority businesses and farmers fail and do the same thing.
You are so concerned with the short term that you rarely think about the long term. The COVID vaccine is using technology that has never been used before and this specific version of that technology took less than a year to develop and get out the door. Just because it seems harmless now, doesn’t mean that there aren’t any potential long term effects. Let’s see how this vaccine could potentially impact fetal development in the womb, for example. Let’s see how our bodily systems react over time to the new protein created from the vaccine. I’m not willing to risk that for a disease that has an incredibly high survival rate, especially for those without debilitating conditions, and I have no obligation to be the beta tester of a vaccine for a non-homogeneous, hyper-consumerist society.
Jon Stewart EASILY could have said this last year when the mainstream media was trying to suppress the Chinese origin “theory” (it clearly came from China), but he didn’t. He is a coward who will only “speak up” when it is convenient to. Now that the Chinese lab origin is getting some steam again, John wants to look like a maverick by saying something. Nothing more than a parasite who only says what is most politically and socially convenient to him and his image. If he had a single ounce of honesty and integrity, he would have expressed his opinions earlier without worrying about what the mainstream media will do to make him look bad.
