It’s because the people ruining it are disingenuous. They don’t care about comics, video games, anime, etc. It just that it’s popular now so they are moving in. Having grown up in the 90s I always find it funny when they make the claim girls were unwelcome in these spaces. Girls avoided those spaces. The reality is if group of girls came up and said he we want to hang out and play video games or watch anime with you guys I doubt they would be turned away unless it was because it was an obvious set up. What’s even more amazing is these invaders managed to turn Star Wars from a billion dollar franchise to one that rivals the sci fi Shylock featured on MST3K.
When I need a laugh I always go back to that Golden Globes where Ricky Gervais was the host and called them out on Weinstein.
It’s amazing though how many people come out and say after the fact “oh yeah X being a massive sexual predator was an open secret.” But like you said they were happy to whore themselves out for their 15 mins. Or in some cases their parents were happy to do it for them.
All these celebrities are the same people that enabled Epstein, P Diddy, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein for years. Hollywood has been a degenerate cesspit since its inception. If she wants to blame average Americans and lump everyone that voted for Trump together then we can blame her for all of Hollywood.
Weird. Weird. Fuck off.
I bet the one on the left worked from home so he could also watch his wife and her boyfriend’s kids. That guy lacks T so much I doubt he could even press it on his keyboard.
The other one you know uses some underage anime character as his persona.
I’m honestly glad I never got into Dragon Age as a franchise. I played some of the first one when it came out but eventually bounced off it and never went back. I can image the absolute smug look of the writers as they were coming up with this too. There are two things about the team that made this I can guarantee. First they tell themselves and anyone that listens how good of a person they are. Second they are also the absolute shittiest people you would ever have the misfortune of meeting.
I ask myself if it’s really worth it to expend energy to say anything at all. Think of them like a car that’s spent a decade plus in the rust belt. No amount of effort is going to suddenly make the rot go away. Also, sometimes just being purely dismissive is a bigger slap in the face.
The reason the left is acting like this and saying all the idiotic things they are is because that’s what they would do. So they just assume the other side would do the same thing. They were more than ready to lock people up in Covid camps, get them fired and evicted for not getting the shot despite supposedly being for body autonomy. They can’t wrap their heads around the idea some people just want to work, raise a family, be safe, and be left the fuck alone. Lord Haw-Haw here would be orgasmic if the left won and they were rounding up Trump supporters for reeducation camps.
The sad truth these roaches are no different than their insect cousins. You flip something over and they scurry away but that doesn’t mean they are gone. It just means they will find a new place to hide. I bet she already has a job lined up with another outlet or game studio. The whole game industry is incestuous and rotten to its core.
What I want to see is if all those states that declared they would give out their electoral votes based on the popular vote will follow through with it. I’m sure they will still them to Harris because they are a bunch of feckless twats.
There are entire German towns built down in South America after the war full of Nazis. The interesting one is about Martin Bormann. Mark Felton has some good videos about the conspiracy surrounding Bormann. The official story was he killed myself trying to escape Berlin in ‘45. However some of the evidence apparently is that the dirt on the skull found in the 70s that was identified as Bormann isn’t German but from South America. Some speculate that he did get away and when he does his remains were brought back to Germany to be magically found when some construction was happening. It makes more sense in Bormann’s case because he wasn’t publicly known like a Himmler or Goering.
Kempka’s book is interesting because it’s a more personal side of Hitler. Guy got drive Hitler around Germany while Hitler was going town to town campaigning. A lot of people that knew Hitler personally said they liked him. There is an interview on YouTube with one of his housekeepers at the Berghof and she still had a framed Christmas card from Hitler. If Kempka did think Hitler escaped he didn’t mention it. He does talk about helping burn the bodies at the Reichstag and the challenge of trying to actually find enough petrol from the remains of the motor pool.
My grandfather was Army in WWII except he fought in the Pacific. I have his uniforms, letters, a Japanese flag and officers sword he brought back.
Hitler's Commando: The Daring Missions of Otto Skorzeny and the Nazi Special Forces by one Otto Skorzeny. He was definitely a wild character before, during, and after the war.
If you like WWII I’d also suggest The Last Battle by Steven Harding. It’s about the Battle of Castle Itter where US Army and German Wehrmacht troops joined forces to save a handful of French VIP prisoners from an assault by the SS who had orders to kill them. Mind you this was before Germany officially surrendered.
The other book is I Was Hitler’s Chauffeur by Erik Kempka. It was an interesting perspective on Hitler that you don’t often get when it comes to WWII books.
I think the biggest problem with urinalists is that too often more emphasis is placed on attacking the news outlet itself. People get mad at the Washington Compost, CBC, CNN, Kotaku, etc. but outside a few higher profile people most names fly under the radar. Since the whole industry is incestuous the roaches just move around constantly unchecked. What is it they say about making enemies uncomfortable? This is not some glow post saying people should commit violence but those journalists act the way they do because they feel safe. They would gladly print any of our personal information to try to get us fired and destroy our lives for wrongthink. Same should apply to them.
Make urinalists unemployed again.
It also doesn’t help with all the fairly truthful NASCAR / WWE comparisons. When they go to someplace like Talladega they play up the “big one” then will show 1000 replays of the giant demo derby. NASCAR has had a few amazing finishes this season where 1st-3rd finished thousandths of a seconds apart.
When NASCAR took that car to Le Mans last year they impressed everyone with the fact that it could keep pace. Even the pit challenge impressed when they won. Instead France is like McMahon and making an embarrassment of the sport because he wants to run it his way. They should focus on what sets them apart as the selling point. It’s not just “rednecks turning left” it’s three wide full throttle 190mph+ for 500 miles and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to go see it.
To be fair Jaguar doesn’t even make cars anymore. They have a few SUVs. Also if I’m not mistaken they said they just weren’t going to sell a 2025 model year as they try to figure things out.
Jag did a good job reinventing themselves back in 2009. I got a XF after I saw it on Top Gear. The problem was as the market shifted what was contemporary luxury in ‘09 was in ‘19. Now Jag is on the back foot again much like Maserati or Lincoln where it’s always chasing what was. This ad was stupid but at least they didn’t do what Cadillac did which was just try to be Mercedes and BMW. Because no one wanted a tarted up Chevy with a name thats just letters and numbers with no meaning behind them.
