Thats been disproven.

Why cant one of the largest chains rely on cameras, marked security, unmarked security, security tags, locked cages and displayed, etc. like every other business?

It absolutely has not been disproven, it works by itself and when combined with the methods you brought up it does quite a great deal to deter theft. Why are you so averse to something so simple?

Alright ill shoot. My favorite movies Scott Pilgrim but plenty of reasons for it that wouldnt really qualify as it being a legit good movie.

Its my general enjoyment of the movie and not that the movies that good at all. My wife, not my wife at the time, wanted to see it and i thought the preview looked horrible but i found it hilarious. There was only like 2 groups watching it in the theater. My wife and our group found the movie hilarious while the group up front never laughed and seemed to hate it.

I have plenty of reasons, and inside jokes in the movie for me to call it my favorite. But it has no critical value and im sure you could stab holes into the movie on why its actually bad. I wouldnt even argue.

My list would be more based on personal experiences rather than legit good movies.

Scott Pilgrim is actually pretty damn good by my subjective standards, what it lacks in plot coherence it makes up in wit and self awareness. The listing method you describe is really more interesting than one trying to capture some kind of critical consensus imo, a better peer into the mind and whatnot

Pretty sure they would just team up and defeat whoever it is that captured them and is forcing them to fight to the death...but if they had some hypothetical legitimate beef I'm pretty sure the near invincible superhuman with wacky cartoon powers would have an edge, but perhaps not enough of one to absolutely ensure victory

Snake only has the options of his arsenal of equipment, superior wit and tactics plus the knowledge of everyone in his CODEC contact list. Realistically though Snake would probably have found everything he needs to win by the time he reaches DP (like the weird collar that erases his powers) it would just be a matter planning and execution. Being a stealth god certainly helps.

Persona one is kinda fascinating to experience but in no way is it fun. It becomes boring very quickly, the endless meandering dungeon crawl broken up by fights that take way too damn long just getting the battle system to do what you want it to. The second game is much better in every conceivable way, however though the combat is vastly improved over the first it's still pretty clunky and you can barely take a step without fighting something. You can use negotiation to get out of fighting and obtain fusion materials but it's such a strange take on classic demon negotiation it too becomes an annoyance very quickly. That said, anyone who is a fan of Lovecraftian horror should play both versions of 2, the story was good enough to keep me slogging through and even becoming a bit masochistic about it.

If you want to see something akin to the old way of Megaten done well just play SMT Nocturne or Digital Devil Saga, they essentially have the same core mechanics as the old school games just executed really well while retaining certain elements the newer Persona games sacrificed to the waifu gods like actual dungeon crawling and puzzles that actually take some thought. They don't exactly have waifus in the sense of the Persona series unless you have a tragic death fetish but there are literal goddeses running around with physical features no mortal waifu can attain and they may even give you free shit after you let them suck off on ya a bit.

First you need to define what positions you deem "actually important to leftist ideologies".

here are a few of the ideas that are generally central tenets of leftist ideologies.

Capitalism
Leftists believe that capitalism, as an economic system, is inherently exploitative. We believe that this exploitation cannot end while capitalism is still in place. We want capitalism to end.

Imperialism
Leftists believe that intervention by world superpowers in foreign countries is exploitative and should stop completely. Since the US is currently the largest imperialist superpower in the world, it is frequently the main subject of criticism.

Police
Leftists believe that The Police under capitalism is an inherently oppressive force that harms the working class and protects the interests of the bourgeoisie. We want the system abolished completely.

Borders
Leftists, for the most part, view borders as an apparatus of the state to enforce racist and classist policies. as such, we are generally opposed to countries and borders as a concept.

generally speaking, most leftists would agree with all of these regardless of tendency. the more positions someone agrees with, the more likely it is that they are a leftist.
if a person or organization does not agree with at least one of them, they are probably not a leftist.
personally, I would be hesitant about accepting someone as a leftist if they didn't agree with at least three out of four.

there might be some other universal (or nearly universal) tenets among leftists that I omitted, and there are definitely other ideas that are important for specific tendencies, but those are good benchmarks at least.

Thanks for the explanation, makes me want to listen to System of a Down for some reason lol.
So if those ideas are left I imagine the inverse of them would by the ideology of the right? Also there are many degrees of positions within the spectrum of ideas those categories represent, a left keaning centrist may thus think there is some point to the concept of borders but keep it kinda loose and free for the individual. Maybe also thinks that there is a balance between capitalst and socialist ideas that evade the potential horrors of both. It all boils down to Law vs Chaos

ITT: Extreme leftists define "centrism" as taking the middle ground on literally every issue as a philosophy.

Truly these extreme leftists are to be trusted and taken seriously.

Wikipedia definition:

In politics, centrismthe centre (British/Canadian/New Zealand/Australian English) or the center (American English)is a political outlook or specific position that involves acceptance or support of a balance of a degree of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy, while opposing political changes which would result in a significant shift of society strongly to either the left or the right.

Centre-left and centre-right politics both involve a general association with centrism combined with leaning somewhat to their respective sides of the spectrum.

Various political ideologies, such as Christian democracy, can be classified as centrist.


So clearly, in actuality, "centrism" can mean a lot of things politically. But leave it to the extremists to create a definition that works best for extremism.

how many of the views that centrists ostensibly take from the left are actually important to leftist ideologies?

First you need to define what positions you deem "actually important to leftist ideologies".

Yep, it's always "Us vs Them" no room for anyone in the middle.

The 'US vs Them' is generally between the extremes, as of now the extremes in both parties are gaining more and more traction hence many people that 10 years ago would identify as Democrat or Republican now consider themselves some leaning of centrist in attempt to disassociate themselves with the extremes of whatever party they align most closely with. The extremists then go on to label them as the worst of the opposing party (Alt right, nazi, commie, Marxist, etc) for any disagreement

Nobody even brings up Ghostbusters, a movie with no far left politics or intersectional feminist ideology in it, except to complain about the time they thought someone was calling them sexist.

Feign ignorance all you want, Lady Ghostbusters was basically intersectional feminist virtue signal-The Movie (okay, more so in execution than in substance but there really wasn't much substance to speak of). Beyond that, it was terrible. Nobody tried to make it about sexism besides the odd cult-like defenders on media sites proclaiming anyone who so much as didn't like the trailer was a misogynist and probably a nazi too.

It's always an SJW that makes these kinds of topics.

Of course games are political, but you know exactly what kind of politics they're talking about. All you have to do is go on an SJW infested site like resetera. That's the kind of crap people don't want in their games.

Yeah that's the whole point, people are using "politics" as a euphemism for "women and minorities"

Incorrect, it means "far left intersectional feminist ideology" in most cases which has nothing to do with women and minorities themselves and more to do with identity politics (ie immutable traits like race, gender, sexuality becoming essentially the only real character traits focused on, kinda like the equal opposite to shameless big titty ninja fanservice pandering but with a side of 'if you don't like it you're a bigot thrown in to falsely demonize all dissent a la Lady Ghostbusters).

Politics is an essential part of world building and can be handled really well, the problem is that in many modern games it is handled in the most boring, hacky ways imaginable and ends up coming off as preachy rather than thought provoking. They aren't interested in telling good stories so much as they want to tell you what to think. "Show, don't tell" as a rule would help this problem immensely, don't preach at the audience but instead give them a chance to come to their own conclusions about what right and wrong is and show them the consequences of what their thinking leads to both positive and negative. You know, like most games made before the last decade did. And remember that some games don't need politics, being fun is enough given that games are really just toys made by artists to amuse.
Same thing goes for the push for diversity, make it organic and be sure that that playable trans character has character traits besides just being trans. Otherwise it looks like shameless pandering and virtue signalling.

Not always, not much politics involved in saving a princess from a turtle. I much prefer when games get into the realm of philosophy, just lazily putting the player into a political situation with clear right and wrong answers is boring to me.

Like SMT for instance, it doesn't simply elevate one set of ideas above all others it shows the positive and negative aspects of the various groups and their extremes (while also analyzing the subjective nature of those aspects).
