Occam's Razor

Correction: Hanlon's Razor.

Occam's Razor basically says that you should try to find the simplest solutions to problems or make the least assumptions possible, but that might be a different story.

I still remember the constant treating of 1984 like it was a book for chuds as a defense for this sort of shit. Just makes me want to throw it back in their face by saying "WOW! this is literally a fallacy!" a la the Deboonker meme every time they start using slippery slope fallacy or something like that.

Indeed that did. Funimation may not be a good company in any sense, but at least they did better with the series (Right down to an english translation of the original theme) than 4kids did, even if only in comparision.

I guess that can be understood. This is why I feel that making a long term plan is important, because if it doesn't really matter at all, we need to have an idea of what to do to counter the issues that we will likely be facing.

I do agree that there is a real possibility that they could still win, but I will try my best to be optimistic about this whenever possible. If nothing else, there's already a lot of people who are skeptical of Kamala and the people behind her as is.

Also, while we are on the topic, godspeed to those helping out with the election observation.

Thirded to some degree, actually. I still think there's a toss up over whether the elites would rather Trump take the fall for their shit or not, but I think it could still happen.

If there is a silver lining, though, people are not buying their bullshit anymore.

That is to say there's a lot of people of the same mind and policy as Putin in Russia, is there? I can certainly imagine a lot of people close to him would gladly carry on his agendas.

Not to mention FFXIV. I think that while both games were fantastic to watch get better, it may have given a lot of exaggeration of the kind of shit that studios would be able to pull in the future.

Snoot Game Reference or something else?

Actually, I have to wonder if somewhere there are people interested in giving other woke games their own equivalent of Snoot Game.

I actually heard things like that from BoundingIntoComics.com. Yes, it does seem that the franchise is likely coming to an end (or at least going into relative dormancy) after the intended reboot fell through.

Speaking of the intended reboot, there are two questions I would like answered:

1. Did the team behind the franchise make Cosmic Fury the finale of the rangerverse in part because Hasbro didn't care about the franchise? Maybe not, since they at least put some effort into the reboot.
2. How far into development did the intended reboot get? It might be a morbid curiosity, but maybe it would be worth discussing, kind of like the awful Live-action Powerpuff girls script.

That being said, I don't imagine that fans of the franchise would take this development too badly given that they got one last reunion show and a proper conclusion to the franchise on top of that. I think they would be like "Yeah, it sucks, but at least Power Rangers went out with dignity." If nothing else, some people here might say it was probably for the better that the IP got vaulted.

Noragami Aragoto's second (or first) opening, probably. There's a lot of contenders (Like Both of Beastar's OPs) but this feels like my favorite, even if it's because I haven't found many series to my taste in a long time.

I say Tencent because their extreme reach means that the damage they can do spreads well beyond the gaming industry, thus it's easiest for me to imagine the potential hurt.

If Tencent does succeed with this buyout, I would bet a year's salary that several things will happen. First, the first three or four games they put out are actually going to be pretty damn good. They'll make absolutely sure that their first impression is that they really are a good alternative. They'll also make sure the protagonists are straight white males, they'll make the female characters hot and sexy again. They'll remove the queers and faggots. And they'll actually spend time and money on quality control and bug fixes. They'll do this for the first entry in all of the old franchises to demonstrate their goodwill. But you'll notice, if you're actually paying attention, that they'll never make communism be the bad guys again. There'll be Chinese side characters, never quite taking the spotlight at first, but always in the role of an intelligent honorable good guy. Big business, which we have several legitimate reasons to hate, will always seem to have their hand in being the villains.

That's... something. Genshin Impact being a successful game probably shows that there are devs who know how to make and market a game, as sad as it is that those people will also be the followers of one of biggest shitholes on the planet.

It would doubly suck if Tencent got a monopoly over the AAA industry this way. Really, I can't think of any company in existence whom a monopoly wouldn't suck, but Tencent would be one of the worst, or even the worst, because of how easy they can sway consumers.

Watch. It'll happen, and 95% of people including anti wokists on the Right will fall for it.

I can certainly see that happening. What hasn't helped is that there are anti wokists who are openly pro-china like Vox Day (Who I also heard is anti free speech). That being said, I don't know if the hypothetical Assassin's Creed Jade Dynasty or whatever will be enough of an improvement over the shit Ubisoft pumps out to make it work. It feels like a damned either way situation.

Looks like there's a lot of interesting things in this post worth checking out. The Blender/Unreal stuff and the Zelda Roguelike stand out.

Does anyone have a copy of the interview still active?

The Triple Lindy? Sounds like fun!

Is that real?

It reminds me of when Bluehole sued Epic games over the supposed ripping off of Battle Royale Mechanics, and it ended up causing Fortnite to steal it's place as the biggest battle royale game on the market.

Now that I think of it, it's probably a lovely coincidence (if not quite fitting) that Ubisoft itself is crashing if this is proof that it's the wokest game company in North America.

I would say there are more Bethesda apologists than XBOX fanboys in terms of defenders for this game, considering that beyond the pronoun shit people have pretty much noticed how badly the game sucks.

I do think that there is way too much garbage in the industry at this point to say that it will get better, and it will likely stay that way for a long time.

I've been planning on fleeing to another Operating system, preferably one that is relatively a lot like windows 10. ReactOS is one option, but I have not had a serious look at it in a long time.

Indeed. It's sad to see many of these great icons die, as it's becoming harder to find anything to replace them.

RIP, man.

Oh shoot. I found a bunch of fantastic books I probably couldn't access anywhere else on there. I can imagine that there's gonna be a bunch of things on that site vanishing forever if this gets serious.

I don't expect massive websites to go down with ease every day, but I might need to start saving things in any way possible at the first chance that I get.

Emergence was missing for a while, apparently. I wonder if this was the reason.

On the wider topic, I have to wonder if this plus the massive wave of anime site shutdowns is the start of wider attempts to knock down piracy. I don't know if it will be kept up or not, though.

They're probably thinking that they can make the reappraisal of the prequels happen again, really.
