I appreciate your experience on this and don't disagree with your premise, but you are thinking that these people do all the things you listed.
You and I live life the way we are supposed to, we participate in society, we follow laws and regulations because it is incredibly annoying to not do that.
Not everyone does that, many people don't own property, or have a credit card, or have a bank account. Many people that aren't supposed to have them, do have them (illegals, criminals, etc), because other people create loopholes to get around the normal process for all these things.
I'm not claiming to know for certain one way or the other, but this is not the death sentence you claim for people who don't follow the rules of society, I think at least.
kind of preaching to the choir here, but the goal to me has always seemed to be to make the white race pointless, and replaceable - with this other variety of shades that "have culture" or history or whatever it is they seem to think
Bloodborne not getting a bigger focus is definitely a shame, but it is more of a cult favorite as opposed to a successful game (in comparison to their other releases).
I know its a console exclusive which hurts the sales of course, but by comparison DS3 and Elden Ring, even Sekiro sold much more.
I'm not sure it would make them as much money as everyone (including me) thinks, but I would absolutely love either a port or a sequel made in the vein of Elden Ring, not open world but just larger, way more weapon options and ability options essentially, but focused on the trick weapon mechanics as opposed to art of wars or something.
It is definitely a shame, I've been a very casual fan since she was Roaming Millennial before culture war stuff had quite as big of a hold on the world as it does now.
She was just a reasonable intelligent person covering sometimes interesting topics at the time at least.
I'm not sure you understand what uncanny valley is. It is about it getting closer (too close) to human looks and thus making people uncomfortable, which anime never has been and never would be, its a cartoon and always has been.
You guys just simply do not like the art style, almost no series out there aims for realism in the way its humans look, although there are a handful out there that go for a more grounded style.
They seem pretty funny/interesting in some clips I've caught. I watched a handful of other stuff and I just literally do not get who their audience is supposed to be, with the over the top cutesy/childlike behavior they show. But it does make for some pretty funny stuff sometimes, the spelling bee highlights definitely got me.
I started watching some compilations of vtubers after talking with some of you guys previously. The compilations are top tier and honestly a pretty digestible version of the content, watching a stream seems impossible, especially for the JPtubers...and they seem to far and away be the most entertaining of them in my very limited experience.
The EN vtubers seem to just be less funny or entertaining but maybe I am just a giga weeb so I am biased against them.
I've only seen hololive stuff I know there are other groups and independent people and such but they seem to be the most popular for a very casual compilation viewer like myself.
There are just so many aspects to intelligence in my perspective that I think it is pretty difficult to articulate (maybe I am stupid lol)
Working in a niche IT field and being respected and lauded by peers definitely helps me think I am at least more intelligent than average.
I enjoy life and while it is despairing at time to see how braindead, drooling, mouth breathing retarded other humans are, but I don't want to be them. I just try to live my best life and use what I have in the best way I can, which I think lines up with intelligence as well.
I doubt they would at least market it as paying for anti-cheat specifically, it would be like paying for a "priority" sort of system, "premium", whatever you may want to call it.
I know for certain I wouldn't play or buy any game that included such a thing, but I'm not big on multiplayer/competitive games myself.
I don't get what this person is saying, their reviews went down by 2% because they included unnecessary pronouns (literally just don't include them when they aren't necessary).
They want Steam to not allow people to bitch about the games on their platform at all?
Why can't people just not like things, for any reason whatsoever? It doesn't matter if my likes align with your likes, why can't I just negative review a game I purchased because I think their development choices are stupid?
I know none of you are involved with this dev but these are the questions that always cross my mind when I see things like this.
I think there are tons of sequel hooks, like the tools shown at the end and several of the final scenes. I am hopeful there will not be some sort of "Our hero academia" next but I just won't pick it up like I didn't pick up Boruto.
I am really unhappy with the way it ended, but I could tell as the final fight continued on that we were going to get this bullshit kumbaya everyone is friends thing.
I'm not against some optimistic messaging and positive series, but this really laid it on thick, especially for a Japanese series.
Without specific spoilers, they have one character highlighted who has done a "great job with prejudiced-based incidents recently" and maybe 3 pages before has a line that says "We all look different, and because of that we can empathize with each other"
And I just think that is such stupid fucking messaging. All of human history proves that is not the case, and 3 pages later your own characters confirm it by needing to deal with "prejudiced-based incidents"
I think the series was fun and a great take on super heroes before things like the Boys and Marvel got as off the rails as it has at this point. I'm disappointed but almost every long-running series ending has been either bittersweet at best or just plain disappointing.
Tsukimichi - 2 seasons out, isekai story I personally like, 2nd season has pretty poor animation and some pacing issues but from reading the books I really like where the story is going.
Haikyuu! - Several seasons, its about volleyball, I think its a great series.
Frieren - great series, great characters, good animation
The media of course is the major driving force. But I'm going to be honest, surely the average person in the USA simply forgets that Kamala exists on the day to day right? I always forgot about Pence, Biden before him, and occasionally he would be in a news story or mentioned around the election and otherwise they disappeared.
Kamala couldn't win the primary last time, despite still being exactly the same useless whore she is at this point. But this time they were able to skip the primary entirely and have her be the candidate/nominee and it reminded everyone that she exists.
It also reminded all the women that she exists, and now they have a woman candidate to rally behind that would have been entirely impossible without these circumstances. The women are stupid and short-term thinkers (sorry women) so they suddenly realize she is there and they get to vote for a women, so it enhances her popularity naturally.
This is all my thoughts on it, I don't think it is entirely media-driven because women rally behind other women regardless of what the women in question do.
Over-designed pendulum stuff like this is a perfect response to this thread as a whole. This is just a handful of cards from an archetype that isn't even very popular/meta, and as someone mentioned above there are over 12000 cards in the game.
Just imagine trying to google translate those cards, or Danger!, Generaider cards or the new Snake-eyes stuff, etc, every duel would take absolute ages.
The paragraphs on cards in YGO now mean that while the person may know which cards do what if everyone in there is playing meta, if any new card or alternate art pops up and he doesn't recognize it at a glance, it will be a lot of work to translate it.
The western flow of play for YGO is also likely very different from the Japanese style, I would guess at least.
I don't care about Genshin, I don't like Genshin, I don't play Genshin, but I hate wokeism so I used the email address linked and copied a link to his tweet to share that their own voice actor is acting against them.
Why does anyone care what this guy thinks? I think I ask this every time he gets his 15 seconds of internet clout again by saying something retarded.
But I'll just ask you guys, as I doubt he has fans here, why does it matter what he thinks or says? Why would you give anything he is doing any views or energy or time?
It almost certainly only takes a few minutes of hearing the retard talk (even about non-politics) to know you never need to waste anymore of your limited lifespan listening to him.
He has really fucking retarded takes about some things, like a traditional normie does, especially right-wing ones. I am right-wing, much of my family is right-wing, but something about at least the old school version of it, or maybe just the non-internet version of it? They all say the most stupid fucking things like this guy does at times.
For my own opinion, sick days are part of your pay. PTO is part of your pay. If you do not use those days that you have, you are just offering your services to your company for a discounted rate, and you are the only (big) loser in this exchange.
Also if you work in a normal, non-faggot job, or if you just don't run a self-aggrandizing podcast, if you are contagious and you risk getting your coworkers sick because you want to help your company make more money, you are a piece of garbage.
