I seem to be in a weird position with this, as I will often give my name to characters whose shoes I love would walk a mile in (Like in SMT or pokemon), but for characters in less glamorous or high-class games, not so much, if ever.
In XCOM or games like that where you're meant to be the commander of the units, I don't do it.
Played Chrono Trigger once, and I noticed that almost every playable character's name can be chosen by the player. Has anyone actually put odd names in there? I certainly didn't.
Also played Baldur's gate 3 once, and made a stock human fighter since I just couldn't decide what I wanted to play. Might have made a Dragon born paladin if I decided to go back and do it again.
Makes me curious what kind of character I will want to make should I buy Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand.
It seems that the author, Justin Gest, doesn't blame Joe Biden for giving false hope during his 4-year tenure as POTUS (Which he should have done) and ruining the lives of so many. Instead this upheaval is somehow Trump's fault in their eyes and any repeated migration damage Southwards lies at his feet.
Indeed. Some (but not all) Leftist commentators seem to believe that Trump's impact on the USA is too deep to undo at this point (I saw a headline saying something to the effect of "America will not recover from Trump" from what I assume was a leftist outlet). I can thus assume that if the Republican nominee wins the next election, they will take it as a sign that the Democrats are headed for broke and they need to leave the country ASAP, and if the Democrat Nominee wins the next election, then much like during the Biden years, any incidents that occur under their time in office will be brushed off as scars left by the neo-Trump years.
I have not had the ability to keep up with Vtubers, but I have to say that this situation, if it's true, has bought to mind some claims about Nijisanji's decline in quality as a company, which I feel could be seen as a sign of VTubers as a whole dying as a trend. I can understand it's not necessarily a situation that shows internal rot, but if it is, then there is something that shows problems.
No, I have not. Maybe it's just me and the fact that I tend to be really selective about what I will watch or play, but almost all these shows are new names to me or things I have little interest in.
There's tons of old shows out there, and I can hardly imagine that there are tons of tv shows that will likely vanish into the ether, doubly so when they are really old things. I found out once that the TV show with the most episodes ever is a german fairy tale anthology series.
I guess so. He's not Grummz level of being the scapegoat face of the "alt right chuds" like Sargon was in the pre-2016 era, but companies are starting to detest him more and more. I do think that there are some things he will avoid saying to stop him from losing the less extreme members of his audience, but he's mostly good in some people's books.
What's even more ironic is that this headline alone makes it seem like he is at least not sparing them from his general America first plan, unless israel is getting tarrifs lightly compared to other countries. I could be wrong about Israel getting any hits from him, though.
People seem to be kind of upset over The Duskbloods, given that it's Fromsoft trying to seemingly hop on an outdated trend (Not certain if it's a battle royale just yet, but people seem to be more upset by games as a service as time goes on).
We'll see how it plays out.
Right. However, it is worth mentioning that I did see a video thumbnail on youtube from what I could easily surmise was a lefty channel saying that America might not recover from Trump, so even if he leaves gracefully come the end of his term (which I think is what will likely happen), I can see him being scapegoated for a lot of things that happen during his successor's term even if the pendulum swings back in the blue court's favor.
Indeed. While some people have talked about 4chan being compromised by glowies, the attitude of the site and much of the culture of it's various boards certainly hasn't changed, which is why I would at least partially disagree.
I do remember voat a fair bit. I think in many ways it was a forerunner to scored, even if I do remember the shutdown fairly well. And I can understand why it had to shut down due to financial issues.
Had a quick look at desuarchive.org, and it seems like people are slowly coming back, but there does seem to be a sizeable contingent who has decided to stay at 8moe or one of the many boards past or present that took in refugees during the hack. Maybe they just liked the idea of a board more tailored to their community, and they can head back to halfchan whenever they want. If nothing else, this was possibly the equivalent of moot's gamergate banning spree for 8moe.
