technically the ainu were there first along with a the Ryuku islanders and a few others (I think), the japanese are descended from chinese, korean, and I forget what else settlers who intermindgled to become the Japanese we know today. There's some controversy about supposedly forcing the Ainu to integrate into Japanese culture more closely and abandon their old ways, apparently. I suspect it's largelya reaction to the western commie bullshit going on right now, but yeah.
that being said, I'm surprised they bothered to finally defend the Ainu, when they look so european, but commies gonna commie, I guesss.
...what if it ends up killing humanity through incompetence?
true, but it fun to watch tem squirm all the same...and it makes them show their ass to anyone observing.
yeah, but look at it this way, you have something to shove in the faces of jackasses who demand a source now, lol.
I'm not saying they have to be heavily detailed, but some sort of differentiation would be nice. As an example, it's a little weird to have Japanese villagers that look like medieval peasants living in buildings from somewhere in Czechoslovakia, lol. it kinda throws off the immersion a bit is all I'm saying.
mythology was nice, because the basic units didn't all look exactly the same.
The only real gripe I had was they only used three mythologies (and one of them twice if you count the titans expansion....)
my understanding is that sequels to both skyrim and fallout benefited from bethesda mining the modding community to get ideas for the latest iteration, lol
well in the article, if they thought he had covid, they'd throw him in solitary, so he had to deal with a nasty cold. and try to hide it...
yeah, typo, fixed
to be fair, doesn't bethesda have pretty robust modding support in their games? at least they used to =/
course they also mine those mods for ideas for the next iteration of their ips, so... =/
kind of like how the orcs in LOTR represented the worst of humanity and the Elves the best. A simple allegory for human nature, not some high-minded treatise on racism and colonialism...
she probably fried her skin with all the tanning and bronzer she used tryin to be black for a while there...
oh, now she wants to be hwhite....
and they say we're in a cult when trump got booed at his own rally for bragging about the jab...
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one...
This election wasn’t about policy. It was about fundamental principles, and voters knew exactly what they were voting for. This was a clear choice between a candidate who pledged to defend America’s founding values, democracy and the rule of law and a populist demagogue who pandered to a sense of grievance and promised to bring down the price of groceries.
lost so hard...💀
my point, lol
miller brewing company had an ad campaign where they made some tongue-in-cheek jokes. they were pretty fun.
yeah, but they're technically targeting their core demographic; people with more money than good sense.
the early books are definitely more standard fantasy, though they inevitably take a turn for the tongue-in-cheek in later books. the auther didn't really want to do fantasy, but his publisher basically twisted his arm, lol
it's the game gamergaters on 4chan and reddit donated money to the production of, and what vivian james was originally designed for.
good points, sorry, didn't mean to imply ainu were native to all of japan.
