The removal of "Transvestite" from public conversations has really helped accelerate this disaster. A guy who dresses up like a woman is in no way, shape or form a woman. And there was commonly used language to describe that. But now you're a bigot if you don't wax Jonathan "Jessica" Yaniv's balls and have to fight a years-long case in the courts for your trouble. (Tranny went and sued the individual beauticians after the courts tossed the case against the salon as a whole. Shit's insane and comparable to the harassment of the Colorado baker.)

There was nonstop shitposting comparing DAI to The Witcher 3, including stuff as simple as the fact that your party apparently just rides in your horse's saddlebags as they dissapear as soon as you mount up.

People raked DAI over the coals over that tranny. They literally made compilations comparing Sten's dialogue in DAO with Iron Bull. If you have a female warrior or rogue GW Sten will literally pull you aside to have a conversation about how you make no fucking sense and are, in his eyes, a tranny. Women are bakers, priests, caretakers, etc. Men are warriors. He wants the GW to explain why she clearly wants to be a man.

I took it as more of a "remove the guardrails and let them handle each other"

Mot racist at all. This is very specific to one individual. If anyone sees racism here that's on them. It's literally named after the guy for God's sake

It sounds like they just had a disagreement about what the show should actually be about. Matt wants issue by issue current events and she wants... I dunno, to write a book or a Substack if she wants to focus on specific topics exclusively. Recurring podcasts aren't really suited to what she describes.

It's deliberate stalling. If they were a serious organization that wanted to get things done in a timely manner they would have started with a list all the required analysis and testing, acceptable data sets for said analysis, and not need this duplicated each application.

This isn't for people to watch or people who check primary sources. This is for people who get summaries written by fawning press that write without quotations and tell readers what Kamala's handlers wanted her to say, not what she did say.

Picking a vendor who has asserted in court a "no logs" policy that has had their shit physically seized in the past and had that proved fruitless for the state's case isn't the worst way to pick a vpn. That said good luck avoiding Israeli influence on the internet.

Who the hell is stupid enough to even see ads on porn webs- ya know what? Well played. Anyone stupid enough to not have an Ad-Blocker is stupid enough to fall for this.

This is old news but it's always worth mentioning why they dropped the name Ironheart: it was already in use for a JAV parody of Iron Man. (Gvrd-45)

Also her origin story is a teacjer WOULDN'T tell her she would be held back because of her race and gender. So she glared at the teacher until the teacher came up with something, Riri would never be Tony Stark... which is definitively true.

It was both, in the same folder as his tax returns. And he claimed the loli was "goblin porn"

Of course they hire a tranny to write the English scripts solo because why wouldn't you adapt a remake of a classic for The Modern Audience?

Youth today are on par with boomers in technical literacy. Forget piracy, hell, running programs not on their chosen app store is beyond many zoomers.

So a throwback to Ys 1? Interesting. I haven't touched the series since NISA got their hands on it.

Two (sets) come to mind for me immediately, though one is semi-optional (you have to fight, you don't have to necessarily win, but you can't just lose either). Al-Van in Super Robot Wars J. Much like the later entry on this list... the secret is he's a boss from later in the game. At stage 20 you fight him. Al-Van's personal stats as a pilot are on par with what enemies of that point in the game should have. His robot's stats on the other hand, are roughly what they are later in the game when you fight him to the death, at stage 38. I think there may be a couple upgrades' difference for the robot but that amounts to a few hundred more points of armor and damage to weapons as well as a few points of dodge and accuracy that's more overshadowed by the level gap for the pilot, honestly. Al-Van hits like a truck, has a shield (chance to reduce damage to 40%, always used if defending and a chance to use when counterattacking/being counterattacked based on how much higher his Skill stat is than the other unit [as a boss he'll have higher skill unless you deliberately pumped that stat]), a strong attack that can one-shot your dodgier guys if they eat a crit (skill influences crit rates), and once the fight's been going a while and it hits 120 morale (trivially easy) the real fun starts. Two things activate at that point, a barrier that reduces all final damage by 1200 is added in, which is calculated after the shield, and a 50~% (skill gap influences exact chances) to just stop time and dodge an attack, regardless of what the hit rate says. The only way to circumvent the dodge is to use the Spirit command, Strike which forces a 100% hit rate and overrides everything else (including when the enemy is scripted to use Flash which is a 100% dodge). Al-Van also regenerates 30% of his energy every turn so a strategy of bleeding him dry doesn't hold up. It's a particularly rough "get serious" moment because when does he show up? As a third wave of enemy reinforcements. Most players not expecting this will have spent a lot of their SP on the previous enemies and then be caught unprepared for the ambush.

Super Robot Wars OG2 had a trio of semi-optional bosses on stage 15. They are endgame bosses (you fight them for real on stage 38 out of 43) with the same stats for their units as the endgame, but lower pilot stats (they're still overleveled for the stage) so you have an actual chance to hit them. Emphasis on chance. Your have four units for the stage and they're new with no prior chance to upgrade (or neglect, tbf) them that it's purely up to your stubbornness and awareness as a player if you want to fight them and if that fight is winnable. The mission objective is to escape, but you can fight and beat them. There's a big object that gives hp and energy regen, as well as defense and dodge bonuses. But you frankly have no chance of winning if the enemies position on that terrain themselves (Literally no chance, the hp regen will be greater than your damage output even if all your attacks hit). You need to control the AI and pace yourself for a marathon with knowledge that you WILL not be able to just plop units down and keep them there, since you have no resupply unit and have to move units into your battle ship to reload ammo so they'll be able to finish the fight. Fortunately the enemies and your party do talk before the fight starts and the bosses each call dibs on one particular unit, so you know who will be attacked by who and in theory won't have a string of just getting hammered more than you're able to deal with. It's about as pure a test of player knowledge as you can get in a game like that by making it default units only with no chance to dump all your resources into them before the fight or be screwed by just not using the unit and suddenly having them be a mandatory deploy. (Though if you kill the wrong enemy first he'll retreat and the other two will go with him, denying you the rewards for defeating them which are some really, really good items)

So what you're saying is you don't know how archiving works? Which it's fibe to not know everything, but it copies and saves media, code, etc as-is at the time of saving. Twitter will show the current username on tweets. Because holy SHIT any other method would make literal schizo one-person interactions absolutely trivial to fake... Ironmouse's account is from 2009. It long predates her vtubing career.

There's so many people involved in making this abomination that the credits are over an hour long. This isn't a kickstarter game where they have every backer in the credits, yet it takes an hour. Think about payroll alone, nevermind office space, workstations, etc

It sure is interesting how many handshakes come out of the woodwork in defense of Israel and how quick their comments get deleted.

The Pokemon Company and the US patent system are fucking insane. Patent trolling is so advanced that The Pokemon Company applied for a patent in 2023 on the concept of multiplayer games and fucking got it

A simulation system in which a user can assume and enjoy changes in an operation of a character in a case in which the character is operated inside a virtual space and that can be simultaneously played by a plurality of users is provided. For example, a simulation system includes processing circuitry configured to set commands in a plurality of characters and set an execution order of the commands in a case in which a plurality of commands are set operate the character inside a virtual space based on the commands and the execution order set in the character, set commands and an execution order based on an instruction from each user having each character, and operates one character and other characters inside the virtual space.

This shit is ridiculous.

They didn't intercept a shipment. They were the manufacturers from the start. Nobody can resist Mossad's great bargains (through shell companies). https://archive.ph/Kv6cP

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation.

Say what you will about the NYT generally, but I don't think they have incentive to make that one up. If anything it makes The Tribe look worse

Then you just guarantee we get masochistic sociopaths in charge. The kind that REALLY don't understand why people got mad at them for torturing cats as a kid, after all they were just showing them a good time.
