I liked Hades a lot and while it certainly had some subversion that wasn't the main focus, wasn't constant, and was quickly forgettable.
I also actually liked bastions gameplay. I think it was one of the first ones I can recall that had the granular difficulty settings based on (some) new additions to gameplay and not just scaling numbers.
As a NES player I appreciated the weapon that rewarded button mashing.
At a reasonable enough tax rate that wouldn't necessarily be an issue. If the idea is really promising then investors would happily front the tax. Or if a modder could get 10k from a game publisher for a project he was working on in his spare time that seems like a win.
A wealth tax implemented sanely that replaced income, sales, and fee based revenue generation could be a good thing.
In general the tax burden should fall on the investor class over the wage class. Though the government should be small enough that the overall tax burden should be considered trivial.
One big place I would really like to see a wealth tax (instead of an income tax) is a rent on IP, ballpark would be maybe .75% but I haven't done the math in a while. The implementation would be that the IP holder is required to set his own value, and there is an open auction for the IP with a starting bid of that value. If anybody bids then the bidder can buy the IP by paying the holder then pay the tax. If nobody buys it then the IP holder pays the tax as his set value, if he fails to pay the tax the IP goes into the public domain.
This would of course be a part of a comprehensive tax reform that moved taxes away from income and consumption to tariffs and other methods that directly impact corporations more than they do individuals.
Parents expose naive and malleable girls to our subverted culture, either through ignorance, or intentionally because they are convinced that is a good thing. The girls become indoctrinated into the value of the subverted culture that supporting the gay commie revolution, under more palatable names of course, is what makes one a good person and not supporting it is what makes one a bad person.
Boys don't have the same vulnerability because of their natural disagreeableness and more focus on their immediate situation rather than thing about "bigger" issues. They are much less susceptible to the cultural indoctrination. Instead they are plied with porn and kept in check by shame as well as access to the kind of license for self righteousness that was previously the sole domain of girls/women.
Despite those temptations boys have an yearning for growing into men to take their place in the chain of ancestry and the arc of history while girls have a dread of growing into women and assuming their place as mothers and matriarchs.
In other words, to fulfill their purpose boys have to avoid the pitfalls of temptation while girls have to actively encouraged, molded, and even coerced because given the choice they would never move to their next stages of life.
It felt like a throwback to 15 years earlier with the unapologetically masculine hyper-competent hero who isn't a drama queen, he is just tired of dealing with everyone's shit.
Spoilers, one great scene was when his best bro, who isn't totally stable, gets drunk and wanders off to potentially kill himself by fighting a zombie horde the main character says "ok we doing this, then lets go" and totally seriously is ready to die with his buddy, which of course snaps his friend out of it.
When you most of the skills and items unlocked the combat is much "smoother" but by then I was getting bored and just wanted to finish the game
As in I fought hordes like a retard so I really needed my improved stamina potions so I could run away more effectively
Funny story about Half Life 2. When it first came out my friend drove to the store to buy it and I started downloading the pirate copy on Kazaa at the same time. Because of the technical issues when steam was first released I was playing the game before he was.
You are still in thrall to your public education indoctrination. The Articles of Confederation were not a failure. In fact, they worked perfectly to prevent federal power from encroaching on state sovereignty. The central power supporters didn't like that so that illegally wiped them out and started over. And I say illegally because the Articles had no provisions for legal dissolution.
Point of order: this forum has only existed for 4 or 5 years and I haven't been really aware of the jq stuff for more than 2 years.
The thing is this, I'm not calling you a jew for disagreeing, I'm calling you a jew for attacking a man's reputation WITHOUT disagreeing.
When your knee jerk reaction whenever the forbidden one's name is mentioned is to spout the same tired, astroturfed, reputation attack talking points, I get to point out that might be because you have a self interest in dissuading others from listening to what he has to say.
Seriously Nick's shows and interviews are all public, you can easily dispute his claims and prescriptions with quotes. Use that old facts and logic and verbal iq and all that.
I would bet we agree on 90% of everything except for the most important thing, should Whites or should jews rule in America (and Europe)?
Either you are serving some ideal external to yourself, or you are serving your own baser interests.
You can call that external ideal God, Jesus, posterity, Humanity, the future, or whatever but that is really the binary choice that fundamentally determines a person's character and direction in life.
Children all start out serving themselves because they lack the capability to comprehend that anything could be greater than their immediate whims. If they are lucky they are surrounded by good examples of people who "grew up" to serve the external ideal and thus are able to do the same for themselves. Most people aren't that lucky.
He has some of his proportions wrong.
The "actual psychopath" portion of the left is much larger considering a good percentage of women qualify in that they would hurt you for their amusement if they knew they wouldn't face consequences for doing it. Then there are the "intellectuals" who envision themselves as "thought leaders" post-revolution and are too ideologically delusional to realize they will be gulaged or massgraved second. I would say that makes it closer to 20%.
The corporate conservatives are close to non-existent. They are almost all, in some fashion, attached to and ultimately dependent on the existing system. Either they jumped ship 10-20 years ago when they felt the wind change, or they stuck to their principles so they fall into pink category. I would say the only ones really in the corpo category are zio-cons who know the leftist coalition isn't overtly as good for israel/jewish interests as the center right is. Those are also the ones who direct the energy of their evangelical thralls in the red category.
You could put me in the pink category because because I was a former lolbert who finally said "the emperor has no clothes" on the tranny issue, and everything else fell into place from there.
