May have to look into that as an expression. I've never heard the expression before, but I do know there's an important character pair in Granblue Fantasy named Sturm and Drang. Obviously, they wouldn't be the inspiration for the comment, which is why I say some research is needed. It's way too heavy-handed to use for a general audience regardless. And probably a German expression as it is. Gee, I wonder why they'd use a German expression.
I'd heard about this. Seriously, firing Mercante is a bare minimum, they deserve so much worse after what she just did.
Edit: Oh, the petition doesn't say it. Mercante got in touch with HIS WIFE and "asked for her view" on how she feels about him "making violent statements and threats" towards people, something she can't actually back up. Honestly, this story probably deserves its own thread, I'm not in a position to make one right now if someone else wants to. Also a defender saying "Yeah, find their wives and kids and string'em up. It's consequences." It's going down the route of "this is the kind of shit that actually justifies violent retribution from the right."
EDIT 2: Here is a tweet from Mark Kern going into it. He has a few tweets about it. https://twitter.com/Grummz/status/1787963134424347065
"If you don't vote for us the left are going to get in!"
And this is exactly why Trump is so big, because he's the biggest proof that officially divided political partisanship is full of shit. Going forward, if there's not someone riding his coattails and sincerely keeping in line with the policies that made 2017-2019 so fucking great, there is no reason to vote Republican ever again.
All citizens of other "Western democracies" need to drill this into their heads.
Same. I had it on wishlist, but took it off at the "AcKsHuAlLy, it's woke AF, because we have women and blacks" nonsense, that and I figure it's best played with a regular group of buddies, which I don't exactly have right now.
Arrowhead can still get themselves out of this hole, but Sony is basically making it clear they can't be trusted ever again. I dropped PS4 at the California move and saw how they started treating Japanese devs.
If you punish shifts in both directions then nobody has an incentive to lean towards you.
Absolutely this. This is the entire reason we plead with creators to not do woke shit in their popular stuff- the only people it actually appeals to do not support your industry to begin with, and the oversaturation of that shit is actively chasing away your biggest fans.
We can't become that and expect to be taken seriously.
Wait, was Agni's Philosophy supposed to be Luminous Engine demo and a prototype for Athia? I do recall that showcase a really goddamn long time ago. Trailers say 11 years.
Looks up Project Athia trailer. It's only three years old.
You know what, I think I'll take your word for it. Didn't realize the Athia demonstration was so young in comparison.
Most disgustingly oversexualized female character design of all time
But she's not. Her boobs and butt aren't that big, and most of her main outfits cover more than enough of her body. She doesn't look like a hag, and wears tight sci-fi suits. That's it. We rejoice because for some reason, devs keep producing hags and cows.
"Und" is German for "and."
