but why? NHL rinks never change shape. the players always go in the same direction, do the same things over and over a million times. sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't.It sounds like TC is into honing skills and feeling accomplishment out of beating difficult challenges and getting better. There's a good chance that they also like competing with other people based on the genres those games are in. Which is fine. If you know what you enjoy, good for you. Keep doing it. But other people like different things. --- "It's Kanin' time." Orson Welles, Citizen Kane |

lolYeah this is especially odd considering how common it is to go back and rewatxh a movie or reread a novel that you really like. If it's a good story, yes, you can obviously go back and enjoy it again. And then it's even odder when TC is not talking about "walking simulator" games where you just progress the narrative with little interactivity, but rather games like FF7 and Fallout where there is tons of gameplay content besides the story for you to enjoy. To the point where many people who enjoy them don't even pay attention to the story. --- "It's Kanin' time." Orson Welles, Citizen Kane |

Well there is Daredevil's Silver Age origin briefly shown in the first TMNT comic.That wasn't a real crossover so much as a parody. They show his origin, and the same chemical that gave him his powers seeps down and transforms the turtles. The original TMNT comic was basically a parody of Daredevil. Daredevil was trained by Stick... the turtles were trained by Splinter. Daredevil fights the Hand... the Turtles fight the Foot. And their ally Casey Jones is basically the Punisher, with sports equipment. --- "It's Kanin' time." Orson Welles, Citizen Kane |

They didn't say women weren't contributive at all, but it's true that the main structure for it comes from men. That's the whole point of patriarchal societies where men are the leaders in most areas. The biggest masculine stereotype traits that people believe women value are also things men value in other men, usually more, whereas the feminine traits that women value are scoffed at or cared about far less.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/577bb0d4.jpg --- "It's Kanin' time."

| action52 03/02/24 6:41:22 PM #29 | Vyrulisse posted...
People saying there's no difference don't seem to understand the concept of the question.I think it's less that and more people saying it doesn't matter much what their "true" beliefs are, all that matters is the result. If they're profiting off of spreading hatred and making the world a worse place, then they are terrible people and whether or not it's "just a grift" is immaterial. Also some people have pointed out how common it is for people who start out just pandering to right wing cranks to wind up getting high off their own kool-aid and become far right extremists themselves. So in the end, they wind up having genuine right wing beliefs anyway. --- "It's Kanin' time." Orson Welles, Citizen Kane |
| Topic | Reminder that they censored the word 'jihad' from new Dune movies |
| action52 03/02/24 6:16:30 PM #9 | ROBANN_88 posted...
is that word supposed to be prevalent in Dune?Probably the biggest historical event prior to the events of Dune is the Butlerian Jihad, in which humanity overthrew the technological overlords who were enslaving them and banned "thinking machines" (computers and AI). It is also called jihad when Herbert himself used the term in a very nuanced way--that the violence is obviously terrible but sometimes is the only way for oppressed people to overcome imperialism and even greater violence of their oppressors. However, he also only uses the term in relation to violent conflict, which plays into the general perception people in the west have of only seeing the term as meaning this. The term is actually very broad and refers to all kinds of struggle or overcoming hardship. So I can see why they might have thought it was better to avoid the word in that context. --- "It's Kanin' time." Orson Welles, Citizen Kane |
