Hasbro has been dead to me since Ms. Monopoly. They've only gotten worse since then.
Because we're the oldest culture in the world to grow up with notions of equality and chivalry. Before white people invented the myth that all humans are fungible, it didn't exist. Thus, we've suffered the most from it.
It's like these people aren't even gamers at all. Very very disrespectful.
W came pretty close. The character assassination was ubiquitous and obvious enough that even I, a completely apolitical teenager, got sick of it almost immediately. I literally could not have told you which party Bush represented, but I could sure tell you it wasn't whatever party controls the media.
If the Democrats had the unstoppable stranglehold on society in 2000 like they do now, I guarantee it would have been just as bad. And I guarantee the next Republican threat will get everything Trump did and then some.
Name dropping the ADL and/or SPLC are flawless shibboleths to identify paid propagandists with. I hope they keep doing it forever because it makes identifying evil extremely easy. It's like having Sense Alignment IRL.
It's like having a friend with a personality disorder. They want to do something destructive, you tell them it's a bad idea, they get mad at you and accuse you of being a downer. They do the thing, bad shit happens, they get mad at you for being right. They learn nothing and go do something else destructive.
At a certain point, the only thing you can do is disengage entirely and let them ruin their own lands lives far enough away that you aren't part of the collateral damage.
So he's an NPC, but he's such a coward that even with the full force of western hegemony behind him he's still too scared to say what he thinks.
It's very clean, yet also detailed. I really hate art that's so cluttered that I can't tell what's going on. It's why I have a really hard time with manga. Half the panels in Berserk just look like the artist scribbled random lines all over the page to me.
Seriously, Coat Man is basically waving a convenient distance closer at his assailant. This is the absolute worst thing you could do.
I'm not quite that bad. If I see a black main character in a new thing I immediately assume it's anti white propaganda, but I'm not gonna besmirch my homies Barrett, Blade, or Morpheus just because their race has been weaponized long after the thing they were in.
Well okay, anti white propaganda is much older than any of them, but it was a lot less insidious until recently.
From what I understand, it was a katana. Prop comedy, basically.

Reddit, distilled.
That game made my cry like an anime fan on prom night. It also made me hungry for pizza.
Some black tranny said it so of course the establishment had to make it into a forced meme. I have never heard anyone who isn't an obvious globalist stooge say it.
Same with pretty much all "gen z slang" to be honest.

Okay, but have you ever tasted an authentic doner kebab? You try telling me all this yummy food isn't worth a few minor explosions!
Even the braindead morons in his Reddit sub saw that what he did was a racist humiliation ritual when that happened. The only people defending it were 50 IQ hoteps who act more on instinct and reflex than human thought.
Sure is strange that 30% of college students were women back when females were property and a woman couldn't so much as leave the house without a man's permission, isn't it? Almost like both of those things can't be true at the same time? But which one, I wonder? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
After weeks of hanging out in a gaming chat room, I'd been spotted. My profile picture showed that I was clearly a woman but was otherwise unremarkable. I didn't have time to speak a word before I was called a "dirty fing b*", while someone else asked to "see that py". Another player got involved, calling me a "slag" and a "ne".
So you had this profile picture for weeks, overtly displaying the fact that you're female with no problem, then suddenly all the misogynazis woke up from their stupor simultaneously and started attacking you for no reason at all?
Excuse me if I'm just a tiny bit suspicious of your story.
Edit: I'm not escaping all those asterisks. You get the idea.
I think by "answerable to nobody" he meant "not under the thumb of a publisher or soulless hedge fund". Which is rather optimistic because even relatively large dev studios rarely publish their own stuff due to the logistics and cost, but it could happen.
Almost never. That's why we still remember the name of so many game studios and specific game creators from the 80s and 90s. Putting together a team is an incredibly time consuming, expensive process. It costs far, far more money to hire a new employee than to retain existing employees.
The fact that there are so many fly by night studios who seem to exist entirely to sacrifice themselves for the Greater Good is some super blatant tax evasion shit. Same with "unreleased films". You want me to believe that they spent 100 million dollars creating a movie and simply decided not to release it? Pull the other one.
XCOM 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I just really hate having a great run destroyed because the enemy pods all sprint directly toward my squad while the game pretends they just coincidentally all happened upon us.
You're very wrong about the accuracy thing, but dead on with the pod mechanic. Inactive pods don't behave in a realistic way, and the turn based system means that being spotted by an alien can mean instant ruin if it happens at the end of your turn. The player shouldn't be punished for taking actions in the wrong order if it's not possible to know what the correct order is.
I can't personally think of a way to remedy it without just removing the "entire team goes at once" mechanic, but it's uniquely frustrating to accidentally reveal the wrong tile and basically give the aliens a free turn. Activating a pod should at least give your entire team free overwatch or something.
TOME is probably the classic example. Insane amount of content, but also well done and not designed to just kill you instantly.
For an older example, you could try ADOM. It's pretty hard, often unfairly so, but it's probably the most fun of the "old as shit" roguelike catalogue.
I've also been looking into one called Quasimorph, but I haven't actually played it yet for lack of time.
A solid 1/3 of people are, mentally speaking, actual sheep. They are herd animals who will happily and wholeheartedly believe whatever they're told to believe by whoever they perceive as their masters. They're not pretending or kidding themselves - they genuinely adore her now for no reason other than because they were told to.
