You didn't do criticism for the record, and I treated it with the same playful lack of respect you give to me, so lol.

If that were all it were, you wouldn't call people "Blue MAGA" repeatedly, or feel the need to defend it half as hard each time you do. You'd abandon it as a jab that fell flat and move on. But you keep going back to it knowing that people will likely call you out on it because you truly believe it fundamentally.

You barely post so I imagine you dont read, but like 2 pages back, a user who was not me was told not to criticize Biden because itd influence other people not to vote for Biden, and this is not the first time its been said lol.

I went back to find the exchange you were talking about and I don't think Biden is even specifically mentioned by anyone. I mean he probably was but the conversation is about trans rights wrt the major parties, and a damn sight more genuine by everyone involved than what you're doing by co-opting it.

6/10

It's kinda nothing but also serves its purpose and doesn't overstay its welcome. Furthermore, the major plot development of 1-2's murder kickstarting the series proper would make lingering here a worse decision than when other games do it.

AbsoluteUnit posted...

You can't criticize the leader of the party and everything bad is a psy-op, key elements of MAGA. It doesn't mean both sides are equal lol, you're better than that.

Any criticism you receive is treated as a rejection of everything you have ever said or even believe and countered with deprecating labels to your entire perceived opposition.

what do you mean the way those hands grab the gun isn't art

I feel like if you posted that without context on social media you'd get people calling it AI-generated.

Silent Hill 2 is one of the most scrutinized and analyzed games of all time. It's why people are so worried about the remake.

Well there's that. There's also the track record of Team Bloober, everything they have said about it, and what we've gotten out of "new Silent Hill" lately.

Also MGS2 had zero votes but got up to 3 shortly after I voted it.

Because it's not even the most "art" game by Kojima anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely like almost the entire MGS series more, but that's not what the category is.

Leonhart4 posted...

But watch the opening FMV again and tell me that's not more art than Kojima's silly diatribe about memes

It's not even in first place for an opening FF FMV at the time it came out.

Stomp is a normal move though. Kicking a bug would be tough.

Death Stranding
Papers, Please
Undertale

HM: Antichamber, The Stanley Parable

I suspect Disco Elysium would make my list if I ever sit down and actually get a playthrough started.

Also kudos to everyone for not unironically listing a David Cage game.

I think wed be living in a significantly different world if the hingepoint of 2016 swung a different way.

If Trump never won, the steam valve would have been released somewhat, and I think the GOP would try to run likeBloomberg, or some big business dude.

Honestly, and in hindsight , the GOP was on the path to have someone like Trump since the Tea Party took off. They didn't need a Trump to lose to avoid it. They needed a Romney to win.

I think that's a bit much, lol

Okay that made it worth it!

Dude I can only take so much second had embarrassment and you're not even ramping it up.

AbsoluteUnit posted...

Careful Chris, youre veering dangerously close to yearning for someone other than Biden, which is not allowed anymore because soft Dem voters might be convinced to stay home or something.

Nah. He's not perpetuating a psy-op every other week. He's cool.

I mean they low key tried that this time.

How does he do it?

Yeah, if they had literally any 2016 nominee besides Cruz right now they could win by default, but they're incapable of doing that anymore.

Ten years ago I'd say that at least depends on what constitutes a major party in countries not tied down to a 2 party system.

Now Rs chased away all their own more (relatively) moderate politicians. But also those parties in other countries have gained more ground. So, whatever

Edit: This is in regards to Rs being the most conservative major party. Typed slow I guess

You're never going to get a serious presidential candidate who doesn't have a track record (on the left anyway...)

A non-celebrity, even a rich one, could never pull off what 2016 Trump did regardless of party. I would not fully discount the possibility of a celebrity Democrat presidential nominee.

I mean in case it wasn't already clear, Shinra is mostly run by crazy people and morons. I love how Rufus even points this out, wondering what the fuck they were thinking with the Sector 7 plate stunt.

Even in the OG half of Rufus' limited screen time is criticizing everyone else at Shinra, including his father while his corpse is still warm.

I will once again PSA that if you change the link to "twitter" instead of "x" embeds still work.

I do neither

Yeah that's the undecided voter that somehow hasn't voted Democrat since 1976, assuming they're that old.

Good take except for saying that audiences are "extremely smart." That's just hilarious. People are stupid as fuck, that's why these corporations try, and do, get away with so much bullshit.

Yes and no. People like to say that media literacy is at an all time low but really it's more that people like to show their ass for no reason on social media. And by no reason I usually really mean shoehorn things into an unflinching worldview, but I digress.

I'd say that "extremely smart" is too far and probably pandering, but even if audiences aren't smarter I would say they're more discerning. If for no other reason, there are too many movies and shows and etc in this genre to watch everything by most people's standards.

However, even if I'm just completely off base, budgets are simply too bloated for the same wide-net tactics to work, let alone to continually dig deeper.

No one cares about the movies.

You call it a high note, but to a Republican candidate only winning DC and Vermont is probably worse than winning nothing.

I think you could remove Cloud in the simulator in Remake as well, but given that there was exactly one 3-person party for that no one cared to.

To my understanding, the part people are ignoring when comparing Yuzu to Bleem is that Yuzu wasn't try to charge for an emulator. They were pay walling functionality specifically for playing TotK behind their Patreon. To the point other people patched it on their own instantly because it was simply carved out.

Also, my understanding in regards to Bleem is that they won injunctions, not that any actual lawsuits were ever seen to completion or that any precedent was ever set.

I haven't started yet because I'm still finishing up BG3 (I've interrupted that far too many times already), but seeing the piano game fills me with dread because every other day my right stick has a mind of its own. My left stick also has dead zone issues but not as bad.

It did feel like Dial of Destiny didn't have anywhere near the marketing of Crystal Skull, but that is completely anecdotal and quite possibly very wrong.

And then everyone in the coffee shop stood up and clapped!

Twitter has a translate post button, just not on embeds. But Kojima's English account posted as well now.

Just like One More Day, it's a good idea if you just change almost everything about it.

They apparently removed a Community Note for the headline, which is "so shocking".

"Working together" in this case means "invites opponent to say the same thing as him".

This is also where I'll point out I was using the incredibly scientific method of ordering by total comic appearances.

But yeah, Hulk never beats Wolverine like jeez

I figured you were doing something like that after you whipped out 17th.

But also definitely not never. Wolverine debuted in a Hulk comic, so it's safe to say it was a little while before he could have overtaken him.

Edit: Having said that, the fact he is 2nd in comic appearances when he is considerably newer than all the other characters you mentioned does go to show how insane his popularity with comic readers truly is.

HanOfTheNekos posted...

Hulk is 12.

Pre-MCU Hulk is 2 or 3 and it's not even close. Even before the 2000s movie people referenced the Lou Ferrigno Hulk for decades.

Leonhart4 posted...

I'd say people would get The Thing first out of the Fantastic Four because he's kinda similar to The Hulk.

Visually he's the most recognizable of the F4 by far, but then many would blank on an actual name.

Also some of you don't really appreciate how much more recognizable DC characters in general were over Marvel before the MCU.

HanOfTheNekos posted...

Spider-Man
Wolverine
Captain America
Cyclops
Iron Man

Iron Man is fifth

Hulk

Leonhart4 posted...

Because you have people in this topic who argue that the general public doesn't know anybody before they're in a movie and I don't really want to keep dealing with that

I guess in my view "general recognition" is more like the percentage of people who would say "Oh I've heard of them" or "Oh I've seen that guy before".

Also F4 was and arguably still is in a weird place where everyone instantly recognizes them but very few can name any of them, real or hero name, except maybe The Invisible Woman by accident. Like you'd think Mr. Fantastic would be a freebie but it's not.

Leonhart4 posted...

Eh, nah. I don't think Iron Man is noticeably below the second tier X-Men.

Like if we're talking "general public recognition" the X-Men have the advantage of the animated series and the movies.

But if we're talking nerds like us (which is generally what these tiers refer to) Iron Man isn't multiple tiers down.

Why wouldn't we be talking general public recognition when it comes to picking a superhero for a movie?

Edit: And even then, the Marvel characters who probably had the biggest disparity between "nerd" and "general" recognition in the past would be more like Punisher, Cable, and Deadpool.

You can game over but it also permanently saves your best performance at the beginning of each stage. So heavy on the "kinda".

But yeah Sifu is great and for free I recommend anyone give it a shot.

I went to see what the non-verifieds were saying in contrast for shits and giggles and it doesn't even load enough messages to get to those. What a great site it has become.

I already own Sifu so there is nothing of value for me here.

Also, this is how I find out there is a Hello Neighbor 2.
