The story sounds like someone cooked up a first draft and they just went with it and didn't bother any quality control or editing whatsoever.

Welcome to screenwriting since the late 90s.

I've never had issues like this. I have a sneaking suspicion it's because not enough of you look like you'll beat someone's ass for looking at you sideways.

Master the art of the scowl, gentlemen. It'll save you a lot of grief.

There's a meme among bitter colored people that whites can't cook and have bland food. The op meme explains why they think that.

Hell, no one even assassinated him.

They learned after Kennedy not to make martyrs. It's hard not to call what's happened to him anything but character assassination, though.

Nah styx is just butthurt that people stopped watching him after his predictions turned out wrong for the umpteenth fucking time.

Have you ever made a post here that doesn't blame women for your fucking failure of a life?

It's not. People around here are jumping on the hate wagon because there are women and minorities in the game. Unlike pol, the hatred is unironic.

The regular gaymerz are pissed because the game is buggy as hell right now, though the bugs are more amusing than game breaking. I played for over 100 hours since launch and had only one CTD in that time.

Poor gamers are pissed because their potato pcs can't run it at a fluid144fps on ultra/psycho settings at 4k resolution with all raytracing enabled. Someone on the steam boards bitched that their 1060 and ryzen 1700 wasn't enough and that meant the game was poorly optimized. I shit you not.

The game is next gen and that means it requires a beefy pc to run smoothly at max settings. Aside from the typical launch day problems though, the game is excellent. The writing is great, side quests are fun, combat is good, and the progression system is pretty much a 1 to 1 copy of the tabletop game. If I had to compare it to anything, I'd say cyberpunk married the slick presentation of a modern AAA game with the reactivity of Deus Ex. The first one.

TLDR - a lot of people are whining about shit that'll get fixed. The game works and it's nowhere near broken.

They made nearly a billion dollars on release day. Two thirds of their pre-orders were on pc. They are not going bankrupt you delusional wreck of a man.

They started development after blood and wine was released. Pre-production is not full-scale development.

Why did Geralt have dynamic beard growth? Shits and giggles.

Customizable dick and balls is just another way to lean into the cyberpunk aesthetic. Anyone who is playing this game and paying attention to the stories will quickly realize Night City isn't a cool place to be, it's a fucking nightmare. And it's written like one.

The one where people refuse to watch something, play something, or read something because there might be a left-of-centre theme about something.

Just look at the Cyberpunk thread where the majority of people complain that a Cyberpunk game has themes of anti-corporatism, pro-individuality, and it's referred to as communist propaganda.

You guys are fucking losing it.

This board is becoming so paranoid that any kind of criticism against corporatism is somehow misconstrued as communism, which of course means the media in question is unholy and not fit for pious eyes.

I imagine it's only going to get worse.

Unironically one of the central characters is exactly what you describe. I can't go into detail because it'd be a massive spoiler.

Suffice it to say this game has a fucking interesting story.

if you go to actual wrestling boards (not on reddit, reddit is for queers) then you'll see this shit get laughed at quite a bit. Wrestling Observer forum has a few SJWs, but they're a minority and most just laugh at them. Same for WrestleCrap forums and others.

Caesar was exactly what Rome needed. The republic was a failed state at that point precisely because of the same gibmedat bullshit as we're seeing now.

If Trump has half the sac that Julius had, we'll be in for a wild ride.

This is all second-hand sourced because I wasn't alive during the Residential School era.

My friend's father Andy described his stay during one winter there. His parents were convinced that the school he would be attending is a typical boarding school with clean facilities and a good curriculum. They were even served a "typical lunch" that was better than what the Indians could afford at home.

When Andy got there, however, it was a different story. Pretty much everything his parents were told had been a lie. He described the food as a kind of slop you wouldn't feed to a pig. Boys and girls were raped every night by staff (though Andy claims he was lucky to avoid it, who knows). Children were made to do yard work outdoors in a Canadian winter with no protective gear of any kind. Frostbite was common, as you can imagine. He told me about one kid who lost his hand pretty much a finger at a time and was still made to go out and work. The children were beaten if they dared to speak their native language. They were beaten if they spoke out of turn. They were beaten if they "misbehaved" and they were beaten if the staff just felt like beating on them. Sicknesses that developed in the children went untreated, leading to death in many cases. Andy told me that he saw a friend of his die from pneumonia that winter and the staff just took him out back and threw him in a ditch. Stripped him first, though. The clothes went to some other boy. There's other stuff, but it gets weirdly personal and specific to Andy.

I never took residential schools that seriously until Andy told me about what it was like there. A lot of it sounded cartoonishly evil, but then I look at the world we live in and understand that a lot of the headmasters and priesthood saw the Indians as subhuman who needed to be "civilized." Dehumanization can let people do really fucked up things.

Nish are a fucked up people and I will be the first to say so, but the residential school thing... yeah, they have an honest gripe about that one.

I'm past hoping for these swamp monsters to do the right thing and heal the republic. Now I'm just waiting for Caesar to show up and fix it.

LUL.

She had to have known this reaction was coming. The WWE nee F has been staunchly anti-union since its inception. If this was a play for her to get out of her contract early (she is married to other WWE guy Alistair Black) then this was a brilliant way to do it.
