It'll get worse soon enough. Fandom is a known parasitic internet entity and they don't deserve the benefit of doubt at this point. Their method & purpose are crystal clear.
1.) Squeeze as many ads as possible, destroy community if needed
2.) Acquire another website
3.) Repeat

First, please refer to my aforementioned contingency.

Second, if things go as you say they will then nowhere will be good enough given time.

Is this an adaptation of the musical or the book. Guessing if its 2 parts its not the musical.

I'm thinking the book because it's the music is soundtrack, not characters singing.

I wanna ask - do you contribute to any Yakuza/Like A Dragon fan resources like wikis and stuff outside of GameFAQs? And if you don't, would you ever consider leaving GameFAQs and/or making your work available on other platforms?

I don't.

The reason is, given the existing options, this site is still the best place available.

I have a contingency plan in place should it become necessary.

Sorry Mitchum Romney that ain't happening.

The show has covered the opioid crisis before and this week they focused on the payouts made by pharma companies as a result of the settlement for their part in the opioid crisis.

And specifically where that money goes (local and state governments), what that money was supposed to go towards (preventative care), and what it ends up going towards in some cases (hint: it rhymes with police).

Y'know I still got the funny suspicion that TC didn't know Wicked is 30 years old and is just trying to play it off.

Single books?

I mean, I could cite Fullmetal Alchemist as one of my faves.

But Frankenstein's a good one, too.

What do you mean "we don't take it easy on villains in real life"?

It's cringe to me but people eat it up.

Why?

I hope you're not pretending that Wicked is a new concept.

Indie puzzle game out on Steam and Switch tomorrow?

Apparently brilliant?

Tubbz ducks are awesome I have Kiryu and Majima and I'm patiently awaiting the inevitable Ichiban.

Looks like Soren is a writer for American Dad.

He's doing video content again. For the site he and many others were fired from when they torched the video content back in 2017.

And I wish the guy well and all but geez this feels like this Simpsons scene:

Meanwhile, Daniel O'Brien is pulling down Emmys writing for John Oliver.

Sakurai may be the most handsome of all 53 year olds.

He is SUCH a handsome man.

I want promos.

1. Feelings of isolation
2. Paranoia and distrust
3. Distorted sense of purpose

That last one tends to be more on people who inherited their wealth, according to the person interviewed.

And I will say with as much empathy as I can manage: rich people need positive mental health direction, because ultimately, it may not only be them that suffers if things go bad for them.

Look at fucking Musk.

Why do you think I only posted a PNG with part of the image cut off.

Worthy.

Hop on the back and ask them to pass me that green shell.

This gets into "paradox of tolerance" stuff.

I think it's less about "us" and more about the victim's family :)

Should it be about the victim's family? Should they get a say in what happens?

Do you not see any potential emotional conflicts of interest there?

To paraphrase John Oliver, I believe thinking of the death penalty from the perspective of "them" (being our worst people) is the wrong way to go about it. It's not about them. It's about us.

It's about our modern evolved society and what it means for us to wish to seek death for the worst of us. What does that say about us? That we're vengeful? That we're bloodthirsty? That we consider ourselves worthy of judging someone to death?

That we'll handwave it away by making an argument about "wasting resources" on a number of people in the double digits out of the billions on this planet?

Now I'm not saying he should have known Megan Thee Stallion was a massive anime and video games fan already, but to just assume it was somebody else involved who was a fan instead of her is a bit...

I feel like ForsakenHermit is waging a campaign against an army of straw.

If you think life without parole is the only possible solution for mass murderers then there shouldn't be an issue with what I'm saying.

It remains a false dichotomy that you're using to derail the topic, and hey, good job on that.

Unless you think life without parole and the death penalty are the same thing?

ForsakenHermit posted...

And I'm talking about the hypocrisy some death penalty opponents who want to release mass murderers have. If you can't handle that I don't give a damn.

Where does anyone say they want to release mass murderers?

You do know that it's not just a dichotomy of "kill them" or "release them", right?

We have a secret third thing.

ForsakenHermit posted...
Dude. For dog's sake.

We are talking about the death penalty.

If you want to have a conversation about parole, make your own topic.

Some people need to stop bringing waffles into the pancakes discussion.

Abolish the death penalty.

So she has never been able to accept herself and instead of addressing that internal pain she directs it out towards others who are making their best honest efforts to accept themselves. It's always projection, always.

I've always felt this was part of it. I really believe she's still going through some personal shit, likely as a result of the trauma she experienced earlier in life, but I'd really hate to go diagnosing on this as I'm not remotely an expert.

Being that rich pretty much guarantees that you are separate from every other human being. Its that degree of separation that defines the terminally online.

Being that rich allows you that complete separation but you have to remember that she still needs that affirmation. She needs people to tell her they love her and are inspired by her. That was dwindling in the wake of HP winding down, and her new books weren't getting her much of any groundswell.

And I'm not saying she started all this with the idea that she'd get more attention, it was probably more coincidental in that regard, but given the response to her laying all her cards down in June 2020, and everything we've seen afterwards, I believe this is what she's seeking. Any publicity being good publicity. Still being part of the discussion.

And it's the approval that she gets from those thousands of people online, not to mention the few dozen of the real problems who engage with her personally, that has allowed her to cartwheel downhill to this point.

I fear she's cursed to keep going like this until they day she dies, because it'll take some proper love in her real life for her to turn this around. Or a miracle of clarity.

when is my bro's saejima birthday

NOBODY KNOWS.

We know like... six or seven birthdays in the entire series.

Earliest known ones were Kiryu, Yumi, and Nishiki, then later Majima. Also Ichiban. A couple others but that actually gets into spoiler territory.

It's already the 14th in Japan.

It's kinda funny how she named the most prominent black guy in the series "Shacklebolt".

There was also the time Lavender Brown was initially cast by a black girl in the early movies and as soon as she got more involved in the plot (in HBP) she was recast a white girl, but that's more on the casting dopes than Rowling.

1,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 16

In case you're wondering how this latest one started, it started here:

Also in case you're not aware, Julie Bindel is one of the most vile transphobes out there, so when SHE has words for Rowling, you know where we are.
