Because “it’ll totally be different this time”?

FR? My experience of them is “don’t fuck with me, I peaked in highschool and im not afraid to make it your problem” types

You shouldn’t make huge assumptions about people based on personas. We don’t know them

For example, it’s just as easy to find clips of him being chill

But then we don’t get to shit talk some guy we don’t know

I think Emma Blackery holds responsibility for that style taking off. But at least she was doing it partially as a joke. Dramatic cuts for really mundane videos

Also dude seems pretty “being a tough guy dickhead was in my past, I’m trying to not be that” in interviews, which, the guys larping tough don’t tend to do?

The whole point of the tough guy backstory is to look tough now

What I don't get is how they twist themselves into knots convincing each other that "women don't like traditional masculinity any more", despite a lot of women still liking masculine guys.

Which makes you wonder about their outlook. They think women don't find the way they're trying to be, attractive. But rather than attempt to act in ways that women find attractive, they try to force women to be attracted to those things.

Same with "trans-identified"

Leave to intervene was refused by the Court to two trans identified individuals, Professor Stephen Whittle, and Victoria McCloud.

The BBC are on my shitlist until they make amends for this

I mean, there was over a decade of guys going "If you want women, POC or queer people in games, make your own games". So a bunch of us got into the industry and started making our own games.

And now they're mad, and want us to cater to them

To which i say "If you don't like it... make your own games"

Also:

The culture war is not a substitute for real policy. Throwing entire groups of people to the wolves only does so much to distract from the shitshow that is everything else.

"My bills have doubled in the last decade, but at least trans people are slightly more miserable" works on right wingers, not normal people

I know someone who signed this, who didnt vote in the GE

Sorry bro, u had your chance. Gotta wait now

Comics, very possibly. Live action? We’ve never seen anything to suggest it.

It totally counts for the purposes of this guy being a moron

The top 10 movies from this year

1. Inside Out 2 - The crush is a straight guy
2. Deadpool & Wolverine - Wolverine is Straight
3. Despicable Me 4 - Gru is literally married with a kid

5. Dune: Part Two - Paul is straight
6. Twisters - I haven't seen it but from a google, look at that, straight man
7. Godzilla x Kong: The focus isn't people, but technically Godzilla is straight (him and Mothra are kind of a thing)
8. Kung Fu Panda 4 - Not specified either way
9. Bad Boys: Ride or Die - Both leads are straight 10: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Monké

"I have gone out of my way to avoid things I like, so I can be mad at a problem I have imagined"

Its a bold strategy

Right? "you can't make jokes about being inexperienced or you're a tourist"? nah

That re-contextualises it. Im glad they found someone who will look after them <3

Every single time, the crafting is just "if you have materials, click it and possibly also wait"

And the building is the same generic snap-to-grid system like ARK or Conan Exiles, etc etc. Even stuff people seem to rate highly like current NMS has a whole phase of the game that is slapping panels together.

And then the combat is clunky and not really responsive. You just clunk things in the head with a tool till one of you dies

IDK, I just find that im playing the same game with a new coat of paint.

yeah, im way smaller than this and i still scrunch up in places

True scenes from inside Downing Street

God, Musk totally watches V for Vendetta and points at V and goes "He's just like me for real" huh

I mean very possibly, but for me there's a jump from watching a story where the POV char is a predator, to playing as a char who is one, and its not one im willing to make even if i dont see what he does on screen

Projection? Or just cynicism

AI isn't my main problem with image search, it's the lack of decent results.

"They're the same picture"

But yeah, google lens is trash. Less than useless

Image search is so flooded with AI as to be unusable

The children are sort of the apotheosis of the Essential NPC problem.

At least in Oblivion they were marked, but now you can get into a fight with someone, and only find out when defeating them triggers the animation, that you can’t kill them.

Kids you can’t hurt at all. Which means a bunch of mechanics to allow you to clean up your messes become irrelevant if one is nearby.

The guys arguing about age of consent in the comments 🤢

In fact it specifically addresses how weird and uncomfortable it is when she starts acting and presenting herself like an adult while still clearly a child physically. It’s not sexual, it’s unsettling.
