Yeah. I heard from my brother that much of the balancing was done because they didn't want to scare away Esports players.

I did once hear that the end goal was to have 40 heroes in overwatch's lifespan, and to be honest, I think if it's this bad, then it's well past the time that they stop.

This is to say nothing of how we now have definite confirmation that they canned the PVE content they promised for years.

Hell, to follow up on this, I think that a study that actually goes into the types of games men like vs what women like would reveal such a discrepancy between two different markets - namely, it would reveal that women are more likely to play mobile games (both more than non-mobile centric women and men).

Yes, I think that it will be a lot more complicated and messy than they say it will. If anything, I imagine that one aspect they might overlook is the possibility that people would/will take advantage of the chaos to carry out criminal activity at a time when enforcement of the law would be at it's weakest, regardless of which side they ostensibly (or sincerely) collaborate with.

A few leftists have asked why we (and trump) are now against a ban on tiktok when we were good with it in the past (I think at least a few people here were good with what trump wrote up). I know how common the reverse uno card has been used in arguments a lot these days, but I feel that I could ask why Biden cancelled the original order Trump made and is now implementing something quite similar. I think a more cohesive answer is that this bill is not actually going to ban TikTok, and instead is being used to trojan horse restrictions against websites leftists don't have a considerable amount of control over.

I suspect might be wrong, feel free to say otherwise.

If it's not been removed, then they might realize that they could easily trigger another massive subreddit shutdown if they are busted for covering it up.

Just an AI art generation of Vivian James from what it seems.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing it from the ghost of an annoying """"non-binary""" pterodactyl. (Get it?)

Much like the best of politicians, they aren't completely a foolproof plan (I've seen a few people around here say they think they allow brigading from lefty scum) but they have helped and do help people shut down a lot of the malign influence the platform has had.

I don't think they can just make people forget about them. Now that they have a name, they are trying to protect the name as well as they can. Hell, I'm surprised that they haven't just tried to pass it off as "Hey, this guy is just listing the games we worked on, use his list to find us!" which would probably not cause as much undue attention - I've seen other libs like /r/Gamingcirclejerk try to spin other lists of woke games in a positive light like that.

We should be ready to let the world know who they are if valve caves and bans the curator/user - then I think we would have an actual case against both companies. Archive/screenshot everything, and watch this space for this development for the time being.

If you're looking for gory superhero action, I might recommend watching Kamen Rider Amazons, which is pretty nasty. I've only watched the first season since I heard the second season is where the quality went down the drain.

I think I once read the Supreme Power series by Marvel on a whim one day. I remember it even had a black supremacist character (and the comic didn't portray that as a good thing at all) - a rarity even in based fiction.

As for the actual topic, I think it's worth my word that yeah, it's possible. Vox Day has written a comic series on Arktoons called Alt-Hero that pretty much fits the bill from what I know about it:

I did have a few odd ideas for a toei-style superhero series, but I don't think I have the exact resources to put them into fruition, at least not right now.

The question remains then... who?

Kamala Harris, perhaps? It seems like a possibility, especially since we have speculated that he's a trojan horse for her.

Gavin Newsom? Also a maybe, though I don't know if he's basically the left's Ron Desantis (at least in the bad terms)

Michelle Obama? I could see that too.

I think it's clear to them that too much of the public is aware of the fact that they deemed Biden unfit for trial to change the narrative, so they are trying to find a replacement as hastily as they can.

See for yourself.

There was a meme about it a fair while back, similar to the "Don't google what dinosaur had 500 teeth" meme.

Same thing with the Space Movie from 1992.

However, I assume that this will be like when they decided to hide the dislike counter on youtube. It's going to spread to all users of the platform in time.

At this rate, though, I imagine killing 4 out of 5 people is unlikely to happen short of a full-scale world war 3, not to mention that UN Agenda 21 was supposed to be finished by 2021. Just a bit of whitepill.

Same here, I've been doing incognito mode all the time since 2016 and almost never looked back unless absolutely necessary. Whenever I visit the site, it says that my youtube search history is off. I use the Freetube app to keep track of channels.

Not to mention Devilman, without which we would never have SMT.

The island nation is no stranger to terrors like this, but it still sucks that this happened. I wish them the best in that regard.

I think if that's true, it's part of why games like Nethack and Dungeon Crawl are so popular, no need for massive amounts of dialogue, just dungeoneering straight to the point.

Merry Christmas!

I do think that this is why I find a lot of the Sexual Minority representation worse than most of the "Strong Womyn" protagonists (though that still sucks, and I don't think I can speak positively of any female protagonist here without getting downvoted), because it feels like when you write a gay/transgender/tumblr gender nonsense character, that's the only real character trait they have. I think at least in theory it's possible to write a female protagonist without being obnoxious, like some of puppet combo's games.

Then again, I can understand if you think they suck equally.

I can't blame them for that.

Back then, it being shit didn't even need to matter.

I do think that the Game Awards will likely take in a lot of the Journo hype crap, if it doesn't start sinking like the Oscars too.

And yeah, E3 2021 likely became proof that the event's quality had gone down the drain slowly but surely and as such I agree to some degree with any assessment that it was partially responsible for the end of the event.

Indeed, I think one could say the event's rise and fall is symbolic of the industry as a whole, in a sense.

I'd also say two more reasons:

One is that it's just interesting to look at a non-mainstream mindset, at least for people as a whole.

Another is that people are interested because they think anyone who isn't doing what the WEF wants them to is part of a cult, in a classic diversion tactics thing.
