That doesn’t really make sense. Professional musicians need to have WAY better reflexes and their careers usually only end when they’re old as shit.

Nah they just slurp up US state department propaganda thats served to them like it’s candy. They really think AES states are indistinguishable from fascism and that the US is good but flawed and just needs some reforms.

I think it’s because a lot of them were made by/for children and for the streamers they watch. After PewDiePie and other similar streamers started playing Amnesia and after FNAF became a thing there was just a flood of them, mostly trying to cash in on the trend.

What makes the problem worse is that theyre power fantasies written specifically for bitter straight men who think they were overlooked. The audience is basically otaku/incels, which means the wish fulfilment fantasies are always horrible shit like owning slaves or getting back at all the evil women who wronged you. Also I don’t think there’s much of a difference between the average isekai and the run of the mill generic fantasy anime anymore, it seems to me that they are the same thing for the most part. The only difference is whether the guy was a loser before dying irl or if he’s a loser because his fantasy power sucks.

“Samurai” mostly just means retainer. Gamers arguing that Yosuke wasn’t a samurai because he was “merely” a retainer would be like arguing that some medieval dude wasn’t really an knight, but merely a vassal of the sovereign monarch, i.e. it’s saying the same shit with different words.

He was already like this in the 80s. Just look up his speech about Israel from back then. These people don’t have the capacity for remorse.

I wasnt aware that Adblock was causing Google to go bankrupt. But even if that was the case, I still wouldnt watch ads lmao.

Nah, that guy is one of the few rare Christians who actually follow Jesus’ teachings. Civility libs don’t have an ounce of this guy’s conviction for what they believe in.

It doesn’t really matter what Tarantino was “going for” or what his message was, the work should speak for itself, and that’s definitely a possible interpretation. Trying to guess what an author wanted to say or meant is usually not very productive and rarely helps when analyzing works of art. We can’t read minds, sometimes the author is dead, sometimes they forget or just straight up lie, etc.
Sometimes the author is an absolute buffoon who accidentally made something really smart, but that doesn’t make the work he stumbled into making any worse.

Gommulism ended life on earth

Palestinians are telling people to wear them. I get that if you’re not aware of this it looks like cultural appropriation from (like usual), but Palestinians actually want people to do this to show support and raise awareness. If enough people publicly express their support It becomes harder to make these ridiculous accusations that not supporting genocide makes you an antisemitic terrorist. I don’t think you can equate this with other forms of slacktivism given how controversial expressing any support for Palestine is right now.

Hot take, but “virtue signaling” doesnt exist. Or at least It’s not a problem. It’s a term chuds made up to get people to stop expressing leftwing opinions online, while “virtue signaling” themselvrs the other way really hard.
Everyone does this because it’s like a fundamental part of socializing and being human.
Edit: I also don’t think we should be adopting chud language, enough of the internet is incel lingo already

Reminder that “poor Gary” was selling pirated roms.

Oh, the horror! I guess that justifies ruining his life forever.

They’re animals yeah but they’re not insects. They are chilopods.

By “socialism” they mean something very different from what marxists mean. This isnt a dig at them or anything, but Venezuela inst really a communist project like China, the USSR or even Chile under Allende.

I don’t know about Bolivia, but Venezuela ironically has zero pretensions of being a socialist country; there are no mentions of Marx or Marxism in their constitution. It’s just that they pissed off the US really hard by daring to be a sucdem country while operation condor was in full effect and while they wanted to force neoliberalism into latin america. They also reverted the US backed coup almost instantly.

Wasn’t Caesar basically winning before the player arrived though? The NCR barely won the first Hoover dam battle, and they weren’t even aware of the fact that Caesar had bases on the other side of the river already, plus a bunch of legion spies sabotaging them. The impression I got was that the NCR was spread too thin and was so incompetent that this crazy fascist roman larper was going to beat them this time if the player character didn’t come along and get their shit together. I do agree that the legion isn’t going to survive Caesar dying though, Lanius isn’t nearly as smart, and when he dies too there would be no one to take over.

But RE4 has tank controls as well. It’s different from the older titles, but they still limit your movement by not letting you sidestep/move while aiming, as a design choice. Also, RE4 exists because the old RE formula had gotten stale at the time, IMO it was only with 5 that the series jumped the shark by removing all the charm and tension that was left and replacing it with military shooter garbage and racism.

This happens every time a neoliberal “experiment” is attempted, it was the same with Pinochet as well. However, even if poverty skyrockets, the rich get richer, so they keep doing it.
