  1. Hades. It's a lot of fun and I love the aesthetic. I think this is going to replace Grim Dawn as my go to hack n slash for when I'm in the mood for that sort of thing.
  2. Azov is especially bad, no question about that. Regardless, the existence of a Nazi battalion doesn't justify the invasion of Ukraine.
  3. I mostly stick to the shocked because it reminds me of the OH MY GOD! man while the others are self-explanatory. I think Twin Peaks did it good for the 90's and today, where Denise came in and said that she's a she now. Of course, there was much wilder **** going on in that show, but it was much better than the two gay men saying THEY and THEIR with hurricane force while appreciating algorithms. Hell, that scene would have been much better if just cut off at 1:02. I think this presumes that they would be listened to, because the folks in charge seem to love patting themselves on the back for awkward **** like that clip and calling it a day. Moreover, in addition to not being a monolith I imagine the nb folks in those situations would be desperate for work and telling someone who can make or break you career that they're a hack fraud is probably professional suicide.
  4. There's Nazis in every virtually every military. Or fascists, (ethno)nationalists, and other assorted reactionaries if you insist on reading Nazi as specific to Germany or wanna quibble on it. They go into the military for training and access to weapons, it's pretty damn scary when you think about it, and no country wants to do a damn thing about it. The existence of the Azov Battalion does not exuse the Russian invasion, denazification of Ukraine is as absurd as decommunization of Ukraine as a justification for the invasion.
  5. You got a thumbs up emoji because there's no middle finger reaction. Real talk, no memes. NuTrek ****ing sucks. The writers seemingly have no idea how people who ain't straight cis white dudes talks and it painfully shows. I mean come on, if yalls diversity ain't going to penetrate behind the camera the least you could do is 10 minutes of research to write a character who doesn't feel fake. This is only a small step above the live action Najimi in Komi. I feel sorry for the actors subjected to this. I need a thousand David Lynch saying what the hell clips combined with ten thousand DIO screaming WRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY! clips to illustrate my contempt. Anyways, here's something about anime: http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/jojos-bizarre-adventure-and-nonbinary-joy/ Tl:dr: JoJo does better than western media on queer representation because it's colorful and fun instead of dumb **** like the NuTrek clip. Now I will retreat back into my fantasy of NuTrek being a ficiton.
  6. I pulled 10 years out of my ass, because 2032 sounds cooler to me than 2028.
  7. I like me some social commentary, but ham-fisted is too rough.
  8. For Alex Jones, I'll make sure it's liquid. My records say I'm 30, but I feel like I'm either in my 20s or in my 80s. The rona years have made me feel simultaneously younger and older.
  9. In ten years when I'm promising to take a dump on Alex Jones and build a wall around Florida, then I expect yout full suppott.
  10. I used US presidents as an example because it's easy to find both their heights and horrible things they did. Perhaps as someone an inch below average height at average height it's a sore spot for me. Regardless, limiting what power such folks would have is a net benefit because it seems the ****iest people find themselves in such positions regularly.
  11. Hey, **** you buddy. The last few US presidents have all been above average height and done some real ****ty things. Maybe instead of blaming short folks we could limit the power these dudes have. Why the hell should any old man suffering from dementia be let anywhere near a big boom button?
  12. A lot of these people are from places are about as far away from Somalia as they are Ukraine though. When guys start expressing shock about war happening to "civilized countries", it's hard to take as anything good.
  13. Yes. Initially I thought it was ok as KoToR but edgy fantasy, but it really doesn't hold up at all. You're hit with two tutorials/prequel sections before the game actually starts and then it's pretty much formulaic until the end. Not to mention the gameplay itself sucks and is horribly repetitive. Anyways, giving Hades a go tonight.
  14. There are a lot of Evangelion OP edits like that, A Cruel Arthur's Thesis is one I liked. I guess it's because a lot of that shows were really weird. King of the Hill was definitely something else.
  15. Or we all turn into Hulks. That at least would be more entertaining than whatever the hell this hypothetical show from the anti-universe is doing.
  16. While the war ending in less than a week with Russia going home would be good, I think it's likely this drags on for a while longer than that. I would very much love to be wrong though.
  17. I've heard nothing but good about Hades, so I'm excited. I slept on Chanter in PoE and that was a mistake. I am using the IE mod to replicate Deadfire behavior of starting with all phrases, which helps a lot. It's still clunky in terms of progression but that AoE paralyze is very useful. Of course, Priest is still practically required, the +30 accuracy that stacks with everything is probably the biggest game changer in PoE.
  18. I vaguely remember Hercules and Xena but didn't really watch them. I vaguely remember Andromeda as a show that would air late at night, but I never personally watched and only know about it from @majestic talking about it in the anime thread. When I think about it, I can't remember keeping up with anything Sorbo has been in. Though Sorbo did make a recording that was used by DARE back in the early aughts to convince kids not to do drugs. Anyways, video games. Uhh, I downloaded Hades and decided to replay PoE and Deadfire with a Chanter > Monk/Chanter who does drugs. Guess Sorbo's DARE video didn't work.
  19. According to @majestic, he was the drive behind Andromeda being less weird and more generic. So **** Hercules.
  20. I thought the first Mass Effect was ok and the others were disappointing. An incomprehensible army of machines so old they believe they predate organic life? Really cool. A janitorial AI gone rogue? Boring. Vanguard was fun to play though. Kevin Sorbo.
  21. I did, but ended up giving it away to a guy with a weird laugh and a girl who kept saying tuturu.
  22. Well this was a ****ty thing to wake up to and it gets worse by the hour. I hope some sense hits everyone and this ends without thousands of bodies, but being hopeful seems too optimistic. On the brightside, if the invasion of Ukraine really is the Star Citizen of geopolitics, then that means someday Star Citizen will be released.
  23. In the recent speech Putin blamed Lenin for creating Ukraine and Stalin and Khrushchev for carving up parts of the Russian Empire to add to Ukraine. He then refers to the annexation of Ukraine as "decommunization", as it is undoing the actions of the Bolsheviks. It's more accurate to say that he wants to restore the Russian Empire than the USSR. I imagine that decommunization speech probably confused a lot of western (terminally online) people who are reevaluating their opposition or support of Putin.
