All you have to do is make little plastic men and sell them for 500x their production cost. The hardest part of their job is coming up with cool names for shit... And somehow, despite having maybe the best job in the world next to Cocaine Quality Tester or Prostitute Trainer, they fucked it up.

The only way female ultramarines can plausibly function within the framework of Warhammer 40K without any push back from the audience, is if they introduce female chaos ultramarines. That won't ever happen while the satan worshiping pedophile sodomites are inverting the lore, because it would remove any doubt that they're evil.

It explains everything so perfectly if true, and Cavill walking away from the project would be the perfect nail in the coffin for this total bullshit, but it also seems like looking at clouds and claiming you see your dead father's face looking down at you form heaven - Too good to be true.

The thing that bothers people is that media is not representative of real life.

If commercials, games, movies, and shows were representative of actual percentages, every show on TV would have a same race couple, no mullatos, and no gay grandfather's dating a young Mexican boy. Then you'd have less than one out of a hundred showing this behavior, and no one would really care.

I understand your subjects of concern: security and legality. When it comes to online betting sites, we take a step back, worried about the authenticity and safety of these platforms. Some of us even take a huge leap of faith and dive into the online betting world, without even considering whether it is even worth risking for. I must say you’re wise to do your homework before betting your safety away. So, let me help you with choosing the best legal and trusted online betting site:

Lotus365: As a fellow bettor, I’d recommend you Lotus365 app for secure and legal betting practices. It possesses an authentic betting license and uses high-tech encryption technology to ensure the security and confidentiality of its players. Lotus365 online is a magical land of countless betting options, from as basic as Lotus365 aviator to casino table games and IPL betting. You would feel like a pirate landing on a treasure island with Lotus365. https://lotus365co.in/

The steps of playing on this betting site are as smooth as butter: You just need to download and install the Lotus365 APK, register yourself as a valid citizen of legal age (18+), sprinkle some documents as identity proof, and bam, your account is all set to work. To start playing, you need to click on the LOTUS365 login option and enter your user ID and password. Told you, it’s really a matter of a few moments.

Remember: Gambling Addiction is Real: Be aware of the risks and set clear spending limits. Gamble Responsibly: Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. Seek Help if Needed: If you or someone you know struggles with gambling addiction, professional support is available to help.

While Lotus365 might be enticing based on the information provided, consider other online betting sites like Betway, Kheloo, Jeeto7, 88cric, etc. Don't settle for the first option. Research and compare different betting platforms based on factors like licensing, security measures, game selection (including IPL betting!), bonuses, and customer support.

"Globohomo" = global homogenisation; and for the species to be homogenised, as if required for their complete subjugation, beauty standards must also be homogenised. Therefore, because beauty is subjective -- albeit, adhering to certain constants, like symmetry and neoteny -- and to make everyone "beautiful" is the defintion of impossible, the normalisation of ugliness is paramount for said "globohomo" subterfuge to succeed.

Indeed, this is why miscegenation is pushed to reverently... For nothing produces ugly more efficiently than what is lubricated by simian seed.

You vill become a breed of ugly mutts, und you vill like it!

ShoahKahn · 2024-04-08T08:20:48+00:00

"AAA" is a byword for SHOVELWARE. There is a reason why a recent study found that most games played in the last year were six or more years old; and that reason is that today's games -- not unlike film and television -- are derivative, dumbed-down, unimaginative CRAP.

Most recently played:

Left 4 Dead 2 (2009)
Demon's Souls (2009)
Vindictus (2010)
Everybody's Tennis: Get a Grip (2010)
Lost Planet 2 (2010)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2014)
Dark Souls II (2014)
Abyss Odyssey (2015)
Mortal Kombat X (2015)
State of Decay 2 (2018)
Strange Brigade (2018)
Risk of Rain 2 (2019)
Zombie Army 4 (2020)
Sniper Elite 5 (2022)
Elden Ring (2022)...

In fact, user MODS are becoming more interesting than the new release games themselves are -- examples: Fallout 4: London, Dark Souls III: Archstones.

The irony of the woke having a go at Battletech is that setting is probably the one where the various forms of oppression that they eternally seethe about are the least prevalent, given how humans have spread and mixed in the 1,000-odd years since leaving Earth. And while there is bigotry on display, it's mostly in the form of extreme nationalism--particularly from the Draconis Combine, Capellan Confederation, and Taurian Concordat--or the oddly aggressive stance against artificial body parts that the Free Worlds League displays (which I don't ever recall there being an explanation for, though the WoB eventually put some justification to the dislike).

On the other hand, we are talking about the woke here, and they're like vermin infesting a house; they don't need an active reason to move in, make themselves at home, and start destroying shit.

Well that apparently isn't Capcom's intention, considering the teaser at the end of RE4R.

I do think the extra horror elements and mechanics made RE4R even better than before, and it's something RE5 could benefit from. While RE5 isn't a bad game it lacked the horror element of the old games and honestly, RE4R is a masterpiece.

Making a video game is a thrilling journey that blends creativity, technology, and storytelling. It starts with an idea, followed by designing, programming, testing, and finally, launching. Tools like Unity or Unreal Engine have democratized game development, making it accessible to enthusiasts and professionals alike. Along the way, seeking inspiration and relaxation is key, which is where online platforms offering a wide variety of games come into play. For instance, https://playhop.com/ stands out by offering an extensive selection of free online games catering to various preferences - from action-packed adventures and brain-teasing puzzles to exhilarating races and games designed for two players.

It's another lesson that the moneymen need to relearn: you have to find someone brilliant, put your money behind them, and trust them to deliver.

It's not like we haven't learned it before. We were doing it constantly in the '90s. Japan still does it sometimes. "Wait, your game is about Norman Reedus throwing bags of his sweat and piss at ghosts? Well.... you're Kojima. Here's two hundred million dollars."

Try to please everyone with committee writing, and you'll just get bland, uninspired shit that pleases no one. "Woke" is not the sole industry problem here. It's that they refuse to take risks, to surprise, to challenge. All they can do is make sludge that vaguely reminds us of good games from fifteen years ago.

The industry has a future. The companies that have allowed themselves to be overrun by SJWs will just go out of business.

So much has changed.

I was against GamerGate 1.0.

I played Depression Quest on the day it came out, before the whole brouhaha. I thought it provided a perfectly adequate amount of value for my $1.99.

I watched Anita Sarkeesian's series. I thought: yeah, she's being fair. She's saying she loves these games, she's not objecting to their right to exist, and she's pointing out tropes that definitely exist.

GamerGate 2.0 is different. You know why? Because AAA games have fucking sucked since GamerGate 1.0. They've been unplayably shitty. And the focus on "DEI first, story second, never be edgy" is exactly the reason why.

I haven't bought a AAA since Ghost of Tsushima four years ago, and even that was frankly pretty underwhelming. And that sucks! I used to love AAA titles. Now my excitement is just gone. A new Bethesda or Bioware or Valve or CD Projekt Red title used to be an event. Now it's just "Ah, more DEI shovelware that's gonna fucking suck."

If companies keep hiring consultants like SBI, the industry just has no future.

Seems like this is not as much of a problem as online bullying. The games industry can try to address both problems.

Oops, I got confused, I was talking about the gamedev companies themselves. You're right - existing DEI consultants are likely staffed with woke cultists. But I'm saying it makes more business sense to run these companies in a way that lets their client skate by the requirements rather than doubling down on everything, causing more work and disruption in the company. The newness of the industry has probably kept it protected from commercial pressures, but I would think this will change over time, if it isn't changing already.

Here is an entertaining Reddit thread where someone asks for an explanation about the whole SBI thing, and the comments are (unsurprisingly) full of "well the alt-right/conversatives are all anti-intellectual thugs, of course they hate blacks, gays, and women in games!"

Probably not the actual devs and animators doing the hard work.

But how many of those work at SBI, which is listed in their wiki as "narrative development and consultation studio?" In fact, reading between the lines of the company history as presented, they're a glorified DEI enforcement racket specific to the gaming industry. I find it unlikely that such a company wouldn't have everyone from top to bottom fully onboard with the stated goals.

Probably not the actual devs and animators doing the hard work. The people you're talking about are likely easily replaced. Or could simply be eliminated in a lot of cases. If it weren't for ESG or other artificial pressures, I think the market would flush them out eventually.
