I didn’t say anything about communists. I said I missed being able to interact with people who shared my hobbies. I just want to grill talk about cartoons and video games.
Also, I was sold on Lemmy because they told me it was an user owned alternative to reddit, which was going tits up at the time. “It’s a communist website.” Is not what they told me to get me over here.
Absolutely. There’s just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you’re a trekkie I guess. Then you’re set.)
comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.
That’s… what I said.
My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they’re the devil, when in reality they’re just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I’m not trying to convince you it isn’t. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it’s the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?
Here’s the difference though: most people outside of Lemmy don’t care about Nintendo’s copyright lawsuits enough that it’s the only thing they talk about whenever they hear the name. The fact that every comment expresses the same thing is the part that feels like a hive mind. Some criticism of a large corporation is one thing, but how strongly Lemmy holds that opinion feels cultish. Blizzard’s leadership protects sex abusers and Ubisoft has had a work culture many describe as nightmarish for decades. Seeing Nintendo put on that level for something not even unique to them makes me think some of you don’t know what nuance or perspective are.
I thought the leaker saw those and decided to not reveal too many details other than they exist? There’s a sentence about it in the article.
I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.
It’s beta builds of old games. It’s only valuable to super fans who wanted to see what could have been.
Shortly before the flex tape video, he announced he was going to appear in a debate with another Youtuber named Destiny. In this debate, he claimed that “Rich blacks commit more crimes than even the poorest of whites” (direct quote, I shit you not), and that Donald Trump had never said anything racist. It was completely out of left field and shocked pretty much everyone.
My theory is kind of a joke, but I seriously have trouble believing that these are the same person. It was so sudden and so random that I want to believe that there is some other explanation as to why it did. Up until this point, Jontron had stayed fairly apolitical. On the very rare occasion he’d share an opinion on Game Grumps, it would be the most milquetoast moderate thing you’ve ever heard. To jump from that to retweeting actual Nazis for praising him for saying what they believe feels completely insane. It’s easier to accept that there is some sort of sussy imposter imitating him than to believe this just happened.
Turning the serious off for a second, I think that if anyone knows the truth, it would have to be Arin. I don’t think Danny was involved. He might just be blissfully ignorant.
You know how some people believe Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced with a body double? I think that happened to Jontron at some point before the incident.
Take a look at a population density map of the US. A lot of the places that don’t light up are agricultural. If for some reason you have never seen a real farm before and always wanted to then by all means come on by, but we call them “flyover states” for a reason. All the cool tourist destinations are in the glowy bits.
I assume you were asking for tourist reasons anyway. If you were just asking for curiosity sake, it depends where you live. I live in the rural part of Illinois and it only takes 15 - 20 minutes to get to a supermarket by car, but walking there is completely out of the question. Especially with the hills. Oh God, my feet hurt just thinking about it.
These taste almost identical to regular Pepsi. It’s kind of a ripoff.
Good riddance.
Trying to change the status quo
Super villains are usually trying to take over the world or rob banks and shit. That’s like saying Jeffery Dahmer was just trying to have a snack.
That’s when you get bofa deez nuts removed.
In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I’d argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?
As for the status quo thing, I honestly don’t know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. “Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform” is an odd pitch.
Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don’t see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren’t as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.
Not everyone who dies becomes a ghost. Ghosts are people who can’t pass on due to having unfinished business.
You can’t call something a graphic novel if it’s only one page long though, so what do you call it?
Honestly, why do you need graphics to create that level of detail? In regular gameplay, you aren’t getting closeups of your characters face. It’s just a waste of energy on the part of the animators.
Bojack, we’ve been over this. You have to be better than that.
