I'd be pissed too if I finally got my character looking the way I want, especially if I spent money on the appearance, and now it looks ... like that.
I'm torn. On the one hand, immolation death is not funny. Like the Branch Davidians in their compound in Waco. But on the other hand, this smelt like an obvious plant from the moment I caught wind of it. So I'll just leave both jokes here.
So they've found a use for all that gaslight they produce?
Are they going to count this as a job created by a democrat?
I went unemployed for awhile. I had to sell almost everything I owned and sleep on a towel on the floor for awhile. I know how it can be.
I'm just perplexed that someone named ihatewhores would be okay whoring themself out like this, knowing that getting a different job would in fact not make them a whore, even if they made significantly less. You might not be fucking them, but you're sure as heck okay with it.
I took a job at mcdonalds from 2004 to 2008. We all sometimes have to make tough choices. That's where my name is from. Not like you asked, but I figured I'd share some of my background with you, ihatewhores.
But again, this whole conversation is really strange. You're okay with suffering as long as if makes your life better.
I know the whole there really isn't any ethical consumption under capitalism on account of someone is getting a shitty deal no matter what, and it's hard to justify any purchase because of that.
But when you know something is wrong, and you're justifying it with as long as it's not me, and I can make my life easier it's okay ... that's kinda fucked up. That's the crux of my argument. But I'm really gonna bow out here. I don't want to do this no more.
Just maybe hope that one day someone like me is at the other end, and can stop something horrible from happening to you just by speaking up and getting fucked over instead.
How much more money is worth it? Only a few rapes, or are we rationalizing that it doesn't matter, fuck 'em all. They're getting raped anyway, so fuck 'em, I got paid?
Basically, what is the money to rape ratio that is acceptable in this scenario?
...Actually y'know what, I don't want the answer. This isn't a conversation I ever wanted to have. I'm going to bow out here.
No, I really wouldn't. Knowing that my extra pay came from life alteringly horrible things would make me find other employment. Even if it meant some shitty job for shit wages.
Because "Rape is fine so long as I get more money" isn't really an argument worth fighting for.
That's all well and good and all, but hollywood ... have you forgotten? you've been pedo defenders and pedo hiders for decades. It's all out in the open now.
There was a Barbara Walters interview that had Mouth from Goonies, y'know, Corey Feldman, where he was naming names and pouring his heart out. Anyone remember the audacity of Barbara Walters to reply with "You're ruining an industry" It was such a polite way to say "Shut the fuck up and go help shovel some kids onto hollywood like a coal fire, so they can get fucked some more by rich people, so we can still have movies." I lost all respect for her and hollywood that day.
Every time someone was asked, once it was too big to just sweep under the rug, what was their go to? "We all knew, but..."
... But your job was more important than stopping a rape train happening to everyone, at all times? You ignorant self righteous assholes. I am ashamed I ever gave a quarter of an ounce of a shit at anything they ever said.
It's no wonder in roman times actors were given the same amount of respect as courtesans.
I can guarantee 100% they're being paid to care about this. Because they're certainly not acting for free, given their track record of covering for anything and everything, so long as they still get paid.
Besides the fact that we glorify "I'll lie to you convincingly for money" when people act good enough and are given awards for it.
Sorry, I just can't stand this shit no more. No disrespect intended toward the OP.
I think people are saying good things about it, because historically video game adaptations have been completely awful.
So it's merely a "It didn't suck as much as I expected" when they say it's good.
But it's not good. It's just not shitty enough to hate train it.
The power armor looks very plastic. I don't know what can be done about that other than chroming the plastic bits or something, but it'd probably be too shiny for the lighting. They also don't walk right. Which is honestly hard to get done right. And probably from having to walk without much practice in something with all those bits and bobs glued onto a frame they walk around in.
The acting is very one dimensional. Likely intentional so that they can be latched on to by everyone who has a few of the traits so they can self insert, as they do.
The only good part appears to be the Ghoul character played by Walter Goggins ( I wonder if he and David Goggins ever met to see who the better Goggins is... sorry, it's just a dumb name comparison thing.) that I can never remember the name of. Cooper I think? Anyway, they gave him a fairly interesting back story and I think he's probably the only sane person around, given how everyone else is.
They looked at the lore and thought "Nah, we can do better" and just pitched out the vast majority of it and built up whatever they needed with the ashes of what was left. In doing so, they've doomed the show to never move beyond what they're borrowing from, and breaking away from at the same time. It's a bizarre choice. One of the tenets of good writing is to build up, not break down, but I digress. We wouldn't be here bitching if the writing was well thought out and good.
The show is merely okay. It's being canonized by people who bought the franchise, took a big steaming dump on it themselves, and did the same thing these writers are doing. "Yeah, that exists, but it exists this way now, because faulty, badly thought out reason here. We own it now okay? No time to explain how ghouls work when there's super mutants around." Or whatever the fuck Pete Hines said when cornered by someone who knew more than he did and genuinely cared. But I digress ... again.
Maybe I'll save myself from watching the rest of the season. I can put money down on the fact that at least one of the recap youtubers have likely done the legwork for me, and I can just condense watch it that way. So I don't have to deal with the moment to moment boringness that happens in a show like this.
Every time someone praises it, I just care a little less about it honestly. It's fine, it can exist. I don't have to spend any more time on it. It's popular, and people like it, and it is an Amazon product we're talking about, so they'll bait and switch it to ass suck mode in season 2 where the girl can suddenly reprogram turrets and robco robots and shit like that, make her own plasma weapons, etc, without ever having been seen doing any of the work to have that knowledge.
So given the money distribution heavily weighted toward five people, we can honestly say that they did not learn to code.
Okay, that does make more sense.
Although honestly, this movie series died off with the first one, and most of us were just curious about how they would continue the character's story, and how long it'd take the zombies to starve to death in the second one.
To my knowledge they didn't even answer either one of those in a fulfilling way. But it has been a few years since I've seen 28 weeks later, so I could be remembering wrong.
You mean the WEF stooge doesn't like the way things are run, so chooses to fuck it all up in the name of [cause]. I am shocked.
Second installment of the trilogy? So 28 days later wasn't the first and 28 weeks later wasn't it's sequel, making this one the third and final installment?
You know... If you can't even get that info right, why should anyone else care.
[Gary Plauché has entered the chat]
Very nice. Now, let's see the one you show to all the brown men you import.
Sixteen times the war crimes.
That's rapecist.
Games Workshop is in for a reckoning when they realize that a 3D printer and about 10 pounds of the resin material to make models is cheaper than a full army.
Can they do it with a shit eating grin?
Looks like when they got bought they got it hoisted on them in 2022.
I don't ever remember visiting the boards at all. The guides a few times. But the boards maybe once or twice, and I can't honestly remember if it was helpful.
My advice would be to just copy and paste the guides you want to keep now and keep them locally, before they're deemed unworthy too.
Did anyone have 'Getting mad at AI generated art' on their bingo card?
The account that pic they're poking fun at is from says it was Generated by AI. It's even in the name of the twitter account.
Sure someone had to type in a prompt, but AI still did the work and made it look that way.
Poisoning the well is what it is.
Kids barely know what their favorite color is, or how to dress themselves without supervision at 3 and 4. 5 maybe, but many of them still are not bathroom trained that young.
That's pre school aged, where they know the very basics of how to interact with others, and will sometimes cause disputes over toys or objects they want to use, rather than share.
There is absolutely no way they have a sexual sense of self yet.
I imagine this must be the same as a white person who gets called a racist because they exist, and so do people that don't share their skin color. And that white person had the audacity to do that in a public space.
I'll go ahead and wait for the apologies to come pouring in over every time that has happened.
I believe this person falls into a category I've been developing. I call this the narcissistic man cave fixation scenario. Let me explain in as much detail as I can.
You and a man get along well. Well enough that you two decide to share a domicile. More than likely his, as you value a man who can provide. So, a man let you into his home. You do not like anything in it, other than the man. You slowly change everything he likes, in his own home, from every room until he says "No, not that room, that's mine. You already have the rest of the house, leave me this one room."
And he'll decorate it in a way you absolutely despise, full of all the things he enjoys. As noted when you enter and shudder and tell him to change it. And he never does. As you have the rest of the house, and it's his room to feel special in, since he seems to no longer have control over his own home's decoration. Your tastes are not his, and his tastes are not yours. Neither the two shall meet. Trying to adjust someone's tastes is difficult when you have only disdain for it, rather than appreciate it's eccentrics and differences, at the very least. But you cannot do that. Everything must be yours, have your touch, be your own, or it's hated by you. Which by the way, says so much about you.
( Now to the discussion at hand, and what it has to do with the above. )
Your argument does not explain why people will hire a model, male or female, and they'll be scanned digitally into a game, and the women will always have butterface, whereas the men won't. With the exception of asian devs and actual skilled western devs from years ago. And don't give me that it's makeup that's the problem. Tell the model to not wear anything on their face to get the best possible scan. Then do another with makeup to prove that's not what it is. But you won't. We know it's not a skill issue, it's intentional uglification.
This also does not explain the way that men are thrown into a subservient role around the new usurper character, typically a female. Who we know next to nothing about, but yet knows how to do everything better than anyone who we've actually seen struggle to get to the point they're at with their knowledge or technical knowhow they have. While this new girl just runs circles around them like it's all easy. Bonus points if it's never shown or explained why she can do those things effortlessly. And everyone just goes along with it, and stops caring about what happens to the guy. There is likely some fantasy at play there from the writer that more than likely came from the 'and everyone clapped' tumblr nonsense, but I'd rather not pigeonhole someone into a corner with an assumption. They could just be a shitty writer.
Beauty standards exist because people like attractive people. This isn't rocket science. If you're ugly, life is harder. If you're not, life is easier. It's absolutely shitty, but we all do this. We've done this since the dawn of time when our extreme ancestors fucked the evolution world over by realizing that rocks can be thrown, and it gets you what you want.
As we've seen over and over, anything that anything bad happens to a guy in media is his fault, and anything bad that happens to a woman seemingly for no reason at all, happens to all women and you can't have her in a bad way or bad light or women are now all angry that they are somehow affected by this media portrayal of every women on the planet, even though it should be obvious to anyone over the age of ten that's not the intention being portrayed. You have to intentionally self insert, and get mad at this in order to be this way. Which only points out that men think "Hey, this guy is cool, he knows a lot of cool shit. I'd like to be more like that. Look at what he suffered through and bettered himself from." Whereas girls think "This is me. I am this character. Anything that happens to this character will wound me like it wounds them." And bluntly, that's massively fucking retarded.
What I think is missed a lot by this type of argument is that for the most part the guy in a movie or video game that knows how to solve a problem is typically listened to because of their credentials and past experience. Not just because he's a male.
When you show us some new girl that can hypothetically cartwheel on a treadmill while doing algebra in her head, and fix an issue with some engine by throwing a wrench at the apex of her jump and have the open end tighten a nut or bolt, is not at all the same as someone being shown training for half their life to get to where they are now and knowing how to deal with an issue based on past experience that we witnessed them learning from and doing.
The only part I agree with is developers should be free to do as they intend, free from the shackles of consultants and other "I know better than you about this" sort of bullshit that is infecting all media. But they did not mean creative freedom in that sense, they meant it entirely as ugly women can do things too. No one is saying they can't. Bluntly, I just don't want to fucking see it in my fantasy escapism.
In conclusion: You see what is not yours, what does not appeal to you, and rather than live and let live, you choose to fix something that does not need fixing. It appeals to people who are not you. You never liked it, you didn't enjoy it, but you had to change it to better suit you. Further, you either can't tell reality from fantasy, or you're being intentionally troubled by actions in media that are not happening to you, in a fictional setting, that you have fixated on as your enemy, even though you have imprinted yourself onto it, and you've got so little in your life to complain about that you like to make others as miserable as you are by ruining things they enjoy.
TL;DR: Get fucked, leave things alone.
Okay, I have to ask. I know it's rhetorical around here and all, but honestly.
Why do they talk like recently unmasked scooby doo villains?
It would have worked if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their dog!
I guess I got lucky. I got the gog version and downloaded this three or four days before this patch hit. So I have a slightly more complete version. Sure it's a minor thing, but that's how it all starts isn't it?
You want to think that they're not ideologically driven, so you don't have to live on a knife edge about this kind of stuff, but this is always how it starts. Some minor tiny thing from a cut scene you can only see once, or some posters in a section of the game you'll spend maybe 3 minutes in, and you'd have to zoom in to see in any sort of clarity.
