Season 2 Episode 1 came out today. Was kind of cool - had a Bladerunner vibe to it. Looks like 1 episode comes out a day for this

A fine after he was locked up in Japanese prison/jail for months. I doubt he has a work visa or student visa, so I suspect they’ll make him leave the country after this is done

Hmm https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67782869

I forgot about that - the season 1 elements highlighted a more positive view on true belief in the message vs corrupt people cloaking themselves with “belief” as a means to enrich themselves. Like for example, the humble priest that just wants people to be good to eachother vs the televangelist...

Since when has that last bulletpoint ever been part of Castlevania? Dude is tipping his hand with that Culturally Japan and Christianity have had a very complicated relationship and that is usually reflected in the games and media from that country.

Bubbling is something mormons would frequently do as a "loophole" because the person isn't technically naked lol

It's normal coroner/medical examiner speak - they usually try to account for all major factors that they believe contributed to the death.

Given the concept of the character of Kang, it actually would be super easy to recast.

Guess there is only one solution then

BWL would honestly be scarier in terms of getting perma killed. You basically need to get ony cloaks on everyone to avoid dying on Nef (and that other boss if you happen to get caught in the flame AOE). And the 2nd boss has that ability which will basically death touch whoever gets the debuff.

Very true - although it is MC. I do wonder if they'll ever do BWL. There are a lot more "kill the raid" type of mechanics there, although I would be shocked if they all farm Ony long enough to get the cloaks

Well, that was a clean Onyxia kill

You know Gaben isn't playing when you get a special perma ban notification

Gonna assume at the very least

Soda's guild in Molten Core? Or a different one? Ya, that is going to be a shitshow. No shot they actually clear the entire raid. I wouldn't be half surprised if they have people die on the first trash pull

The whole temple mechanic is fucking dumb. You roleplay as a moth and fly towards the light, then repeat dozens of times. The temples all have the same layout - there is no puzzles or challenges.

The established porn actresses or former ones on Twitch are usually trying to main stream

Given that most of their users are over 18, honestly it would probably be easier for them to spin-off a Twitch4Kidz or whatever. Sort of like how Youtube has a gated element option

Here let me help fast forward this. We both essentially go “nuh uh, it’s X” for 30 pages and no one changes their mind. GG WP NO RE

Now who is projecting?

Land doesn’t vote, although gerrymandering fucks like to pretend it does

There was one - it’s a prequel

Should link every Evangelical Youth Pastor org instead if you’re fixated on grooming

That isn’t too uncommon in Bethesda games - the MSQ is lackluster at times, and the side quests are better. But Starfield was especially bad in that category. The interesting twist only gets revealed towards the end and ties into a half baked NG+ mechanic that isn’t enjoyable. The Teramorph...

They don’t have to invade - they just prop up or support a puppet government amenable to their country

He’s usually great on visuals and style, but most of his recent films only had that going for them His Dawn of the Dead remake, while it got flaky in parts, probably has one of the best opening scenes for a zombie apocalypse film ever. You legitimately believe that civilization would fall that...

Humans have always tried to game the system - that isn’t a new development. The only thing that has changed is the speed and scope at which people can communicate to others that they gamed the system

If you read the full release, it seems to suggest AI generated stuff is what got them nervous

Maybe - critic reviews are always a toss up. The main unifying themes I am seeing in the negative reviews are 1) Too much world building 2) Too many seemingly disjointed scenes/plots 3) Feels like half a movie At worst it might end up being a Mockingjay: Part 1 it sounds like. Lots of time...

One issue is people always use a monolithic “the devs” to describe the problem On games this size, the blame usually rests with the people who hold the final decisions. Coders and artists and the like are doing what they are told.

The US Civil War was in part a proxy war - some European nations really wanted their cheap cotton supply to continue

Because segments of the US still have a puritanical streak. Violence is ok, but god forbid you show tits. Relevant

Apparently Twitch is banning people who are following the new TOS still - sounds like there is either a disconnect or a ton of auto-mod stuff going.

You could watch it just fine. It’s not like you’re going to watch it then suddenly the stream turns into a dildosaurus fighting a twerkodon

Oh that’s a cool find. Can’t watch it now, but what do they do on that stream? Just discuss paleontology news or do they actually do stuff with real fossils too?

Once you get into mega view territory, you’re basically a brand unto itself. The strength of your personal brand will dictate what you do on stream. Guys like Ninja tied their brand too much to one game and when the game fell out of favor, so did their brand. Guys like XQC or Soda or...

They aren’t the same audience. That’s like saying people who like eating at an Italian restaurant are going to now eat at the strip club instead.

Exactly. They have some cool world building at some of the POI…that leads no where.

Yup - in the short term rural areas that already have some farm infrastructure in place might do better maybe. But those people in cities and small towns are eventually going to move where they think the food is like a zombie horde. And this isn’t the 18th century - even in rural areas, they...
