For over an hour, he watched as former colleagues carried out a Section 32 search of his home

Those same former colleagues probably have zero foresight how this will eventually come back to them as the Boulder of Progress™­®© continues it's way down the list of wrongthinks.

with 'Brexity' books in his home.

That thing that won a public referendum? Is public majority now under scrutiny because it's turning out to have been a really bad idea? Could have sworn there was an expression about "no take backs", as well as "congratulations, you won" in regards to these things but then the timeline has decided to be particular retarded in the last decade where up is down, down is out, and the wolves were invited in to run the madhouse.

lol, lmao another thread where an OP deletes a retarded take when it doesn't go the way he hoped, must be something going round just now.

Thank you u/Kienan/ for linking yesterday what the archive site is for here so I could check it for this thread.

A lot of things are good for the first few seasons because they don't have to explain things. Yet. See Lost for one of the more famous examples where the writers later admitted they had no idea wtf they were doing during the middle and were just coasting along on both hype and mystery boxes.

The problem with doing this is that for very popular projects that take too long to finish the hype from fans can turn toxic in ways other than simply fans hating on the material and artists/writers involved. When the hype for what comes next is so high it becomes impossible to ever meet then the very success that brought increased attention leads to its own downfall.

Look at Duke Nukem Forever that released in 2011 after 15 years of waiting from Duke Nukem 3D. It took too long that by the time the game finally came out it was never able to match the expectations of the fans who had mythologised what the release would turn out to be. Half Life 3 will suffer the same fate if that ever actually comes out. Sherlock experienced this after season 2. Arguably Brexit suffered from this too because it was never actually nailed down precisely what that was going to be and you ended up with a lot of smaller groups under the same banner who expected different things to take place, many of which would be incompatible with fellow supporters of the same cause.

As for AoT what made it popular was the characters fighting the Titans but when the story started trying to explain "there are bad guys on both sides" and moved away from the starting location it became extremely convoluted and detached from the original premise.

The pre-destination paradox problem didn't help things, either.

Manga can be extremely fast paced with releases, often weekly, meaning artists/writers need to be spamming their own works to the point of regular burnout and health problems.

If a project is doing very well for popularity and money then there's going to be pressure to not only keep it publishing constantly but also to keep it going to maintain that money. This leads to a lot of "filler" before actual filler even gets brought up simply to stretch out the story for far longer than it should run for.

Only those who are a) susceptible to being redpilled in the first place, and b) are actually seeing the ads. Online viewing means no ads for a lot of different reasons that include streaming/pirating with the ads removed, or ad blockers simply suppressing them from even official platforms.

Attack on Titan says otherwise and ended up being retarded in the end despite literal ghettos with a specific minority race wearing yellow stars to denote them from the majority.

6 years ago [at least]

Literal nobody with 1 follower

Are you trying to emulate the MSM or are you just equally retarded?

Maybe it's because he's continuing to act like a retard, even admitting ITT his "source" is little more than "trust me, bro".

Im not sure, but the website i linked , said so and it looks legit enough

If the OP alone was getting downvoted then maybe there would be something to wonder about, but the retarded comments made by the OP ITT and others which are also then downvoted suggest it's more consistent behaviour from both him and those reacting to it.

if you find enemies in your path then you are going the correct way

This is how Darwin awards are earned.

These sound perfect for AI shitposting.

Now to find the thread about using AI to replace things from a while back.

(Some time later...)

Got it!

https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/19AxQ272md/x/c/

tl;dr

Use AI to replace actors from films with insert of your choice.

Some examples from that thread:

Swap Daniel Radcliffe with Elijah Wood in Harry Potter, and swap Elijah Wood with Daniel Radcliffe in Lord of the Rings.

The entire cast of Home Alone replaced with Jan Michael Vincent

Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones, not that Harrison Ford isn't amazing but it be cool to see Selleck.

Replacing Zendaya in every movie she's ever been cast in, except the one where they do a threesome fakeout into guys making out because nobody wants to see that shit.

The Bee Movie, but every character is replaced with characters from the Steamed Hams skit.

Now for the shitposting: Replace place every black female POTUS with Trump but keep the dialogue, especially if POTUS refers to POTUSself as any kind of "black" or "woman" expression just for the absurdity the AI replacement will garner.

How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves

Which is still only the latest in a long line of this happening with regards to both intra- and inter-generational conflict fostered to create division.

MeToo was spearheaded by older actresses who had already climbed on the ladder, and by that I mean Weinstein's dick, to get one up on the competition. Pulling up that ladder, as well as pulling it off and similar puns and innuendo, was shown to have little about the message being proclaimed since attempts by actors to draw attention to abuse they received, like with Terry Crews, were shouted down because women needed to speak. But they didn't want to actually speak, they just wanted the younger generations below them to stay there.

But then I've and others have posted about this before and it's probably not news to anyone on this site, even if they haven't read this specific thread or the others.

https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/17t1W3RZdU/x/c/4ZBI1aGLuTq

No. Look at the list of actresses that came out against him vs the ones who didn't.

Almost every one that did was older, past her prime, and had nothing to lose by pulling this bridge up after her, like Susan Sarandon for example.

Meanwhile you have Jennifer Lawrence who not only said nothing but also just dropped off the fucking map for a few years after this happened because she was no longer being fed roles.

The whole thing was a group of post wall, middle-aged and older women making sure their younger competition wouldn't have the same opportunities as they did, no matter what it might have taken to get the roles. When various male actors came out with their own tales of sexual assault being made against them, like Terry Crews, they were told to shut up and let the women talk, it had nothing to actually do with whatever abuse was going on in Hollywood, certain groups just wanted to retain leverage over others.

I'd bet most "Metric users" don't even know Deci/Deka exist

I seriously doubt that simply because of the words "decimal", "decibel", and "decimate".

Maybe, maybe not. Might just be playing the fool to bait someone into outright saying the quiet part out loud, which is obvious to some but would probably redpill others if it was said so blatantly.

For years Stellaris devs claimed the numbers approach wasn't what the AI was doing until a player specifically caught it on video and proved the devs to have been lying the whole time. The tl;dr of the whole thing was the Stellaris devs simply couldn't code the AI to be better so they just shoveled mountains of extra resources on the AI instead.

Numbers: Things hit harde/faster, also you die quicker.

Mechanics: Addition of other effects that can often synergise and require completely different priorities so you don't get FUBAR'd three ways from Sunday.

Take the Left 4 Dead games. In L4D1 you had various spots most of the Horde would get stuck trying to reach you so you could turtle down with twin pistols that had infinite ammo and slowly chip things down. For any Special that spawns you could still chip them and then swap to your primary weapon if really needed for that extra DPS burst, especially for Tanks.

L4D2 make this both harder and all but impossible by not only fixing many spots that you weren't really meant to get to in the first place, like the rock near the finale house in Death Toll, but added in new Specials that either specifically caused area denial of camping spots or raised the importance of positioning and situational awareness signiticantly beyond just fighting Tanks. For the former you have Spitters that covered the area in acid, for the latter Chargers that could very quickly close the distance on Survivors and scatter them in addition to carrying a primary target away/off a cliff.

Mass Effect 3 did this as well with updates to its multiplayer system after players would frequently pick Firebase White vs Geth since the former had great camping spots pre-Retaliation nerfs and Geth had no mobs which had auto 1 shot sync-kills. While the nerf didn't change the latter it did add drones to the Geth that would carpet bomb an area with timed explosives as well as adding in several new approaches to the former camping spots, both mechanical changes in regards to this topic.

So going from L4D1 to L4D2 the change in numbers and mechanics were:

Numbers: Same as in L4D1, harder modes meant Survivors took more damage, zombies needed more damage to die, no real difference between the two games.

Mechanics: Daytime maps which means wandering Witches, sometimes a good thing because it made getting past them simpler but also the opposite if they patrolled an area like a hallway between sets of stairs on The Parish map which required precise timing and a lot of waiting to not startle her. Weather. Heavy Rain in particular focuses on this when the Survivors start the 5 map campaign with comments made about a storm coming. By the time you make it to the halfway point and pick up the gas cans there is both rain and large puddles which slow movement. On the return journey all 3 subsequent maps, of which the 3rd is the finale holdout that includes Horde waves, Specials, and Tanks, there would be random squalls that impeded vision, hearing, and consequently your ability to shoot things. While you could temporarily hunker down somewhere for a few minutes and wait for this to pass, it wouldn't stop anything attacking you. So any lingering zombies would still charge after you, Specials would still spawn and make things even more difficult depending on which ones spawns, like Spitters for the reason mentioned above regarding area denial, Witches which were now back in their L4D1 sitting/crying poses and the Sugar Mill specifically spawns multiple Witches making them a guaranteed encounter to deal with in this campaign, and most importantly and Tanks you were unfortunate enough to run into.

Many of these new mechanics would also synergise to go back to that point. If a Hunter had you pinned then a Spitter can make things even worse by not only spitting on you to increase the damage you take, but damage any other Survivors trying to make it to you attempting to either knock the Hunter off if ranged weapons are limited or help you Recover if you took enough damage to collapse, aka area denial.

Not only the above, but also "story" changes where Survivors would start off with the bare minimum of weapons. No Mercy, the first L4D map gives you a primary ranged weapon from the get go, be that a shotgun or uzi. You don't get that in L4D2 Dead Center until you get down the elevator after already 2/3rds or 3/4ths through the first map, and when you do get your first set of primary weapon spawns outside the elevator the room is on fire, smoke is everywhere, and opening the doors spawns a Horde that rushes you which may also include some Special spawns with it. Until that point you start with either getting to pick a second pistol or melee weapons, which are at least extremely effective vs normal zombies although have mixed success vs Specials for different reasons.
