I remember when Ukraine bombed a train station full of evacuating civies just to blame Russia for it until the missile was shown and then they quickly made an excuse and it was never heard about again.

This attack was at least against their enemy's civilians.

Big if with that "can be reasoned with"....

For me it would be certain interviews, most news are too distant for the normies to believe you on most things, it's just one person's word against another.

But interviews you can point out biased actions, a recent example was that an interviewer was asking the "far right party leader" questions but always started to talk over the interviewee when he gave perfectly reasonable answers.

Stuff like this and loaded questions, difference in handling depending on what the news are talking about as well.

Basically actions of the news rather than misinformation is where I'd try my luck

PS: COVID discussions would also be a quite good one to point this out

I'm wondering from a camouflage angle. From what I've seen not a single alphabet soup asexual actually follows through so I'm wondering how well it would serve as a way to have normal rights while staying the fuck away from the rest of the alphabet.

Also I'm sure there are more retarded labels in the damn soup than asexual. Asexual is probably the most useless though as at least from what I've seen.

How does asexual work in the alphabet soup? Might serve as a good shield against standard harassment claims and such

Taking the time to write a letter shows effort which, if nothing else, will convey a passion for whatever it is you are writing about that is stronger than anything one can do in an online petition.

Sometimes it's not the message that is written but the effort it took to write it that matters.

Same thing for obtuse questions in job interviews and similar situations

Well they didn't technically win. They are third, however they did grow a hell of a lot and given their current position they should be the deal breaker on pretty much most cases.

1st and second are pretty much opposing parties and both publicly stated they would not form a group with "Chega" so they are now the tie breaker.

My guess is legal murder, if all it takes for you to kill someone legally is a doctor's note with whatever malady makes it legal then you can essentially just have a doctor or doctors on a payroll to provide the false diagnosis and you can eliminate people that are stepping on the toes of the rich and powerful or are stepping out of line.

Of course for the vast majority of the "patients" they will just be noice to drown out the sketchy ones.

"You look a little depressed" should become a new way for people to threaten murder in meme formats so we can at least laugh at the absurdity. Or some variation of it at least

This has

Slavery has become the target of "anti-tea" Americans because it gives manual labor, an industry standard service that's been normal for years.

Vibes to me. But I'm sure there isn't some problem that is the actual cause of why people are against something.

Why would people ever be against something that has been done for long enough to become standard practice...... Sometimes I wonder why they are even called "progressive", then I remember they are just retarded

I get doing some useless questions that require effort to test other things that what the question is actually asking but posting a video seems to me like it would be stepping over a few lines in the legal sense but then again I'm not American and from what I've seen of your invoices your rules are a lot more lax than the ones where I live.

This is great news since I play that game every couple of years having it not only upscaled but with QoL stuff is great.

Need to go find that port asap

Hey I play it every 3 years or so so at least 2 of us remember it fondly

Personally I got way too bored of it every time I hit act 3. Combat was laughably easy, there was little in the way of builds, companions all felt like they weren't people but player centric automatons with a backstory....

That said it was one release so I don't know how much has changed with patching.

On the other hand as a CRPG player I've put 200+ hours into a just released buggy mess of a CRPG and loving it which I couldn't do with BG3. BG3 is pretty, but as a CRPG it's lacking....or it was but I doubt they fixed fundamental systems.

Depends on the game. For example key binding in fighting game can go a long way to alleviate wrist strain by rebinding to the numpad instead of the usual J K L and stuff.

Rebinding a game like Star Citizen which has a lot of binds and you can make a lot of those binds be alt+ something also helps a lot to have most things in your default hand position instead of having to move your hand about.

If it's something simple and the keybinds aren't too bad then I won't really care. That said it's always nice to have the option.

NotMacgyver 4 points ago +4 / -0

Personally I'm back to playing a bit of star citizen while I wait for rogue trader to release. Got my theory crafted builds ready to be updated to release and everything.

That said a lot of the time I keep one game of each genre to flip to whichever genre I want to play in the moment.

Only reviews I'll ever look at is the negative ones, see what pattern I can make out and ask myself if those negative features would bother me while I look at gameplay online.

After that I may give a game a shot if it has a demo or a "demo". Or I might jump the first step and try the demo first.

If I like it then I'll consider dropping cash for it if I think the game will entertain me for a suitable amount of time.

I don't think I've read a positive review in decades

Honestly a good example to hit normies in my country with. Most of the normal people I know didn't even know a contest was happening until the news announced we have a man as miss Portugal.

Always nice to have a more recent and close to home example of the bullshit to hopefully wake some people up.

That is how you distinguish the noobs from the experts. The noob will stuff his sand in the duffel while the expert will sub divide his sand for easier sand management.

They don't teach you this kind of practical knowledge in sand school, you only learn it through real, actual life experience

You can cut say no to every one, however it's piss easy to agree to sex with character (to start the path of you will) as an example you meet a githyanki.....or however you spell it, I replaced her fairly early on and took her on 1 of her quests and she has already propositioned me to engage in sex (no romance just sex was her actual proposal)..... I met this person about 5 days in-game time ago, we have spent about 30 minutes together and she is already open to interspecies sex......from a hard discipline zealot that sees others as weak.

Point being they made it way WAY too easy to start romance/relationship triggers (not the sex scenes themselves) that it seems like every character is a thirsty hormonal teenager, even if you exclude the tiefling.

The males seem a bit more reserved though but that might be caused by the characters gender....identity (barfs)

Thought as much. Just found it funny they backpedalled within a few days that it became clear that they did do Russian localization but just held it of for a day to virtue signal

NotMacgyver 1 point ago +1 / -0

I can appreciate as well that the game disrupts the usual problematic structure of romance in games

Yes it's so much better that characters I never talked to and barely take with me keep propositioning me for sex like some thirsty hormonal teenagers.

Instead of the traditional quests where you affect major events in these people's lives.

Romance is meh to shit depending on the character in BG3 and after all their talk about how much better it was than standard games they should be ashamed. Give me Pathfinder's host of canibal females any day of sexual harassment tiefling.

Think Gale might be the only character I don't find completely annoying and shouldn't be romancable (or at least exceptionally hard) considering what he did before the start of the game. Still don't like any of them though.

NotMacgyver 15 points ago +15 / -0

Can't remember the game but it had a "we aren't including Russian localization" then one of the 1st patches "we are now including Russian localization"

Which I could remember which game it was since I found it funny at the time

Most if not all the woke stuff comes from the pathfinder campaign that WoTR is based on they just layered it with a whole lot of story and context to blend it into the environment.

From what I heard the tranny/sex change character in the official campaign is more along the lines of traditional woke "HEY LOOK TRANNY!!!" and the fact they made her an actual character and that part of her life is easily missed, late into the game and still requires a dice check just to pry that out of her is an amazing way to deal with woke stuff and makes it feel a lot more natural.

It's not advertised, it came at the characters personal expenses and was through the use of magic. Some woke people might object but it's not like they can get that far in a crpg

It seems almost inevitable considering what we see of their communities. Guess I'm both lucky and unlucky to like fighting games for single player. A rare thing now a days but I can keep playing older games.

Now if Soulcalibur 7 were to make a repeat of 3 it would never leave my harddrive

Interesting. Her idle stance and the moves I saw from her really gave me the wrong idea then. Thanks for clarifying will definitely give SF6 a better look when I have the time

It has it's flaws, some by way of Owlcat and some by way of Pathfinder, but overall it's a great crpg with issues that get bigger the harder you set your difficulty (like prebuffing not having an automated option, get bubble buffs mod if you don't mind lol modding)

It has some woke stuff but it's overall really well done, as in owlcat grabbed what was woke about the pathfinder scenario and make it insert as well as can be expected (as an example there is a character that is trans but it is handled well in the story...as in you can easily miss it as it isn't advertised to the heavens and the character is changed from trans to sex change, which with magic is far more reasonable imo)

The overall story is nicely done with various differences according to the mythic you pick and it's nice to have a game that let's you get to 20 and even have more power on top of that. (Looks at BG3 max level 12....)

Systems are complicated if you want to play on harder difficulty and fill up spreadsheets, or know that down and go wild with whatever you want to build (seriously this game's difficulty doesn't pull punches)

Actual interesting companions that don't try to sex you at every turn...except for 1 but he has an excuse (though seelah and sosiel are a bit worse than the other, at least for me they don't mesure up to glorious Regill)

Over all great game and even has a roguelite dlc if you are inclined to just make builds. Rogue Trader is also shaping up nicely so yay Owlcat, please don't fall to woke.

PS: most romancable females are cannibals.....thought I should mention that
