Surprisingly enough, /hebe/, a pro-pedo board came back and Mark and the admins actually allowed it to stay up. As a result, other sites in the webring have declared /v/ persona non grata and banned the entire site off of it, not wanted to deal with the baggage. I know you can cite free speech and what not but while christchurch did force people into the webring, /hebe/ was a thorn for years because they kept cropping back up.
The shirts they are wearing were made in a poor people's country. Yeah, they're gonna starve.
Damn, dude's been dying from stage 4 cancer for about a year now. He was working full time on a PC patch to fix SR2 and include alot from his Gentlemen of the Row mod.
But it's good that Violitian and Dee Silver according to him will finish his work after he's gone, so that's good.
This has to be a psyop.
I miss r/assignedmale, the comics were really fuggin funny to read. And gotta mention the r/yanderesim sub, because that was given back to Alex and he purged the entire sub of criticism. The real people hang out at r/Osana, a person who includes someone who wrote characters, names, backstories and actual writing effort to flesh out the world all over the last few months. With art and endings.
WVP looks like a hugbox to me.
Seems to me that Toffer is following in Winged Cloud's footsteps and releasing Sakura games and the like after about 6 months of development time. To be honest, there's enough moe garbage on steam and the like that you can constantly play them for years and never play it twice. Throw in lewd clicker and match 3 games and you're essentially getting mobile games with hentai now. It's all superficial I feel
What I want from Lewd games and the like is less lewd, I know shocker and more gameplay and story. For example the only Sakura game to last longer than 6 months in development was Sakura Dungeon, a yuri dungeon delving game that plays a little like Grimrock and took over 12 months to make. After they released I noticed in an interview at the time saying they wouldn't want to work gameplay into their VNs anymore because it's too hard. I just want better stories like Last Sovereign or the Grisaia Trilogy, where effort was actually put into the product, instead of just dumping out lewd for people to by.
I know long porn games goes against the instant gratification of masturbation but damn it if you just put some effort into it you can make it somebody's favorite instead of it just being disposable material.
PLAYED GOLF IN COLLEGE YOU KNOW.
Boondocks, S02E05, Story of Thugnificient:
Terra-Belle Gardens is a small town in Georgia. It is the hometown of the rapper Thugnificent (AKA Otis Jenkins). Terra-Belle is an extremely poor rural slum. Residents often have to choose between getting either more food or new clothes. Violent crime was a common occurrence; the murder rate was so high that the local police disbanded, and an electric fence was built to separate Terra-Belle from the outside world.
A few things are different but it's essentially the same. Disbanded police, wall to keep them in and high levels of violent crime. Like an open air zoo.
You have walked your path and though you suffered slings and arrows, you are untimely strong and in a better place for having realized you were walking the wrong way. Such realization is rare among the NPCs because they're that justified in their dogmatic beliefs they believe they do not need to think if they're doing the right thing. As for your next path, that is up for you to decide. You've found a second chance, now all you need to do is follow the virtues such as self-Temperence and Humility and let them guide your way.
If you've played payday 2, armored vans like this make good targets to get gold and cash from. And usually, you'd have maybe 2 people to contend with and the police are minutes away. Driver had skills at least, he kept really cool while under fire.
Elric in particular no, because like Neuromancer it's stuck in dev hell because of how many connections the Witcher ripped off from it, for example the phrase "Conjunction of spheres." As for french comic movies, again not really. You get the occasional one like an animated Asterix movie a few years back but I don't really keep up with it.
There are other things out there besides just comic books. Duranty's manga list is a good place to start but I'd also look at other books you can find as well. things like art books that Dark Horse put out regularly I've been looking at, The downside is that they very in price, recent one put out by EA on Bioware is like $15 but this Breath of Fire one in english is like $80. The Homeworld one was a backer exclusive for the fig campaign and is like $500.
I love Artbooks. All of these are on exhentai, search $artbook and misc or other.
Second is try looking at French comics. I'm not into it myself but the art is good and Razor likes it so it's worth a mention. It's Titan Comics that imports and translates the Elric series he likes. Also found a Good List from 4chan, most of these look translated.
I don't generally watch Vtubers but I do love the highlights that come from some of them.
This Vid was posted a few weeks back or I stumbled upon it 1 part of 3 part documentary series explaining what's happening with China's Economy. Birth rates are first part.
I get the picture but not the inference of the context of the picture and how it relates to Chovin. You can show it and some might get but unless I know what the actual picture was, a Chinese farmer executed by commies which were a mob rule and used terror to pass their land reforms, same with Chovin, trial influenced by politics and a person who was judged upon by fear. See, I get it because I can establish the context between the two pictures, clear line logic and distinction between it. OP just dropped a title and a picture and expected people to figure out the context, the same like when you type out a title like "This is the end of america." then link to an archive.is page about how the Fed has printed more money, I don't get the context of what OP is so hyperbolic about.
If you take the 2 minutes to source and explain your point, I get it then. Instead of me needing to source the picture of my own, saw it was a Chinese historical photo, then figured out the connected.
I've never seen the picture before and the parallel OP is trying to make with his post title is lost when not given the proper context.
Photograph shows a Chinese farmer, Huang Chin-Chi, kneeling at gunpoint before a communist court enforcing communist land reforms in July 1952; this farmer was "condemned and immediately executed."
Give context.
The Booty is mine.
It belongs to me.
YOU CAN'T HAVE MY BOOTY.
I'd agree with alot of your sentiments but there are a few things you're forgetting.
-
China's debt to GDP is 280%, which is why companies like tencent are looking for outside investment but since the global economy is going debt wise as well, their investments and currency are going to be hit by inflation. When that happens, the physical assets they have will be worth a whole lot more. Which also brings up what happens to assets in foreign countries if they can't protect those from a starving local populace.
-
Russia's in a weird place. They're still seeking to influence their neighbors and such but Putin is 68 which I know is a decade behind Biden but there were rumors of him having Parkinson's last year, this rumor could be spread by America as it was mostly reported only on western outlets but he is getting up there in age and as a result, his successor will have to fight off contenders that are probably backed by the west to gain control of Russia. Russia still has alot of untapped natural resources that globalists would love to import the 3rd world to exploit. I foresee internal conflict rather than expansion in the future, Navalny was just the first casualty of challenging Putin.
-
Taiwan is even more fiercely independent than ever. Their first female PM, yes I know don't tell Impossible1, was re-elected in 2020 and on both her inauguration addresses stated that they would never be "one country, two system", because one only needs to look at Hong Kong to see how well that turns out. As a result, they upped their Defense spending to 8% of GDP and have been constructing native Defense industries with attention to ship building and aircraft manufacturing so they don't have to rely on US imports and support. They've been doing this since 2017 and are seeing results now.
-
The Middle-East is always a mess. You've got national, ethnic, religious and political lines to consider and any group you deal with will have 3 of these traits and hate other groups who share even similar traits of their own. Israel is a parasite that absorbed the might of the US, Iran threatened Israel with developing nukes unless paid off by the US, both Turkey and the Saudi's just bought US equipment because they can. What I can say is that there is no regional dominant power is exactly how Israel wants it. If Iran became the dominant power, you'd have a Shia dominant country with Turkey and Saudi being Sunni and they wouldn't like that. If Saudi's went on strong, Iran wouldn't like that and nukes might follow.

America is at trouble on the homefront, derisive propaganda will do that and China's exploration of funding that propaganda left by the cracks the old USSR channels left shouldn't be understated. They're proving effective at crippling the military with things like Women in the forces and pregnancy flight-suits. We all know it's BS but they'll do it anyway because they're funded to do it. Their tech edge though, especially at Darpa, I think will still last. America's edge is what gives it it's strength and the MIC will do anything to justify it's spending, look how much they blew on the F-35 program for instance. The Japanese back around Christmas passed a 5 trillion yen defense bill focused on native aircraft production and long range missiles, with a focus on ASM emplacements on Okinawa. I'm thinking that Japan, Taiwan and SK saw the writing on the wall with Trump, he pushed hard for them to pay for their fair share of money for defense items so they switched to producing their own. SK in particular is already spending billions because of NK, so there's a delicate balance of China on one side and these there regional powers on the other. India has also boosted it's defense spending to almost $50B, with $3B being spent on arm supplies on their recent skirmish back in July.
-
America is in for a downturn. The Fed printed $7 billion dollars in 6 months and with an already weak dollar, it's just wasting ink at this point. Most people's financial advise recently has been keep money in for 6 months then pull everything out, cause it won't get better and I think that's what people are waiting for, that first panic sell to see everything crash.
-
Trump was a stop gap. He couldn't get the $6B he needed for his wall yet somehow found $30B to send to Israel in "Military Aid". I'm still deciding if he was a Kaiser, fugging forget the name of the german sociologist that projected the term but back in the 40s, his book said that people would naturally draw to Kaisers, populist leaders who at least projected the traits that would make people follow him instead of a democratic party as faith in institutions waned. I think he framed himself that way but in the end he wasn't very effective at real change.
The Republic was never what was important - ever. It was but a shell that surrounds the Jedi - just as the teachings of the Jedi are a shell surrounding the heart of man. You see, the war, the true war, has never been one waged by droids, or warships, or soldiers. They are but crude matter, obstacles against which we test ourselves. The true war is waged in the hearts of all living things, against our own natures, light or dark. That is what shapes and binds this galaxy, not these creations of man.
- Kreia on why Culture is the beating heart of an Empire. It's why China is in a dominant position, because their culture is unified around the CCP, who use the money from said economy to buy off politicians in America and elsewhere to keep the general populace in a schizophrenic state of blue vs red while they act unimpeded.
But tell me again how antifa are the bad guys
Image of BLM sign with fire behind it,
But tell me again how antifa are the bad guys
Show various videos of fighting with law enforcement.
But tell me again how antifa are the bad guys
Show twitter thread of arrests made with known ties to Antifa.
But tell me again how antifa are the bad guys
Show various buildings they set on fire.
Uh huh... sure. If you don't want to live in reality. You know, the one thing that bugs me about Antifa is that they're constantly bug biting and causing a menace, which is their MO to scare people and that's propelled by the media but at the end of the day they effect no real lasting change that they want. Assassination of politicians and actual successful attacks on government institutions would do more to destabilize the country than just lighting a building on fire and having the media say they're strong.
NIgga Moment
When the mind of a perfectly normal Negro Male is overwhelmed by some stupid Nigga shit.
Like yelling at soldiers and then becoming involved yourself.
Notice how the soldiers just stand there and then look on when these two go at each other? This sort of behavior is only find in monkeys, this sort of aggressive dominant behavior.
The thing is alot of these stories and what not can be fixed if they actually paid attention to story structure and themes rather than shoving in ideology and lecturing their audience.
For example, Batwoman. Yes, designed in the 90s as a gay icon as said so by it's creator and made even more cringe by the CW show. So how do you fix her? Well, take the premise, female batwoman who's gay but don't draw attention to it. Maybe have her leaving a lover's house once in awhile but it's really about her cape crusading. Then suddenly, BAM. Villain finds out who she is and leaks it to the media. They eat that shit up, Batwoman gay, she's an icon, blah blah. But to her, she just wants to keep being a hero, not this icon the media is trying to make her out to be. You can turn the story about how the media manipulates public perception and how even villains can seem heroic when painted in the right light.
No cringe Red Skull insert, no shoving of politics, just a storyline for the modern time. They don't have that skill though because of their constant need to virtue signal.
Democrats are always looking to shift blame and what better than their old Cold War enemy. Never mind the fact a study was done into the interference that said Russia bought maybe a few hundred pro Trump ads on facebook in 2016. Never mind Us interference in Russian elections in 2018 where they sponsored local and internet ads in an order of magnitude more than what they claim Russia did. Never mind that they Impeached Trump the first time for this and what Hunter did while in Ukraine.
Urgh, at some point they have to pay for all the shit they keep flinging at others to keep themselves "clean".
Mods. Can't say enough good things about mods for ME. Even 3, all those multiplayer assets such as weapons, powers even armors were all ported across to the single player. You've got stuff like EGM, Spector and Project Variety that change 3 so much that it really is better than vanilla.
As for the remaster, if they changed the Asari so they use pronoun rubbish or changed Maiden, Matron, Matriarch somehow, that's how I'll know.
