Biggots are trying to shoot that down by making payment processor companies like Visa and MasterCard threaten to cut off Steam if they don’t take down evil, satanist, socialist games that recognize that minorities and LGBTQ+ even exist. Can’t shove that down the throat of good Christian kids.
Just LGBTQ+, I wasn’t talking about LGBTQ+ porn as separate from “regular porn”. I’m saying biggots will censor non-porn LGBTQ+ too. I am separating loli porn from “regular” porn.
Free speech for the maker of loli porn but not for the platform that has regular porn or lgbtq.
Examples given in the article are:
Historically, Valve’s policy has only banned games that are “illegal or straight-up trolling,” but that has opened the people running Steam to an endless series of subjective value judgements. For years, sporadic reports emerged of developers making anime-style smut getting ghosted by Valve – presumably for the genre’s association with high school settings and underage characters. Similarly, Steam took direct action to pull a cheap, trashy visual novel called Rape Day from the platform in 2019.
Fuck that article BTW, pretending Steam is in the wrong and the quack would have “saved them some headaches”.
Asura’s Wrath, the button masher QTE on rail and DLC true end drew a lot of hate at the time, but I loved the storytelling and the visceral characterization.
The first Hyrule Warriors is based on the premise that all Links and Zeldas through time and space (being basically reincarnations) are destined to be together
I don’t recall any romantic spin of this in HW, they are tied to each other and will pop up at the same time, but not to fall in love. This is just the continuation of the OoT/SS curse of Demise / Ganondorf, “I’ll follow you both every time you show up”.
The Link-Zelda ship problem is that all Zeldas are each other’s blood daughters, and all Links are the same “soul of the hero” despite being different people. So they don’t want to have any incest story baked in this reincarnation stuff, and it stays platonic most of the time. This was a retcon (kinda) introduced Skyward Sword, probably to justify why they’d been avoiding it the whole time, previous games like LttP and OoT would only say that the various Links were just from some royal knight families or “the last of the families of knights”.
Skyward Sword is the very first incarnation of both of these characters (Zelda being the first human incarnation of Hylia, and we don’t know about Link), so they can be in love - it goes out of focus, but it’s assumed to still be there at the end. And then BotW is the very end of the timeline, tens of thousands of years later, so that’s fine, they’re very clearly in love there by the end, and live together in TotK.
There’s also some hints in the Wind Water timeline (I think in Spirit Tracks but I never played it), because that timeline insists that this is a new hero unrelated to the previous soul of the hero.
Too depressing and a whole other genre.
Also, everything is CGI.
It isn’t, they did a shitload of stopmotion for all the monsters.
A prison for zionists and ICE officers “doesn’t look good”?
He didn’t die because of the coma, he died of starvation! Because he couldn’t eat, because he was in a coma.
Same when you have AIDS, you don’t die of AIDS, you die of the smaller infections that would never have killed you if you didn’t have AIDS in the first place, we all know it’s AIDS that killed you. Doctors aren’t dumb, they know that the cause is the drug that put him in the state that caused him to drown. He wouldn’t have drowned without the drug. That’s why drowning is a secondary cause, the drug is still the first. Like when you get drunk and pass out in a puddle and drown, the cause of death is alcohol, by means of drowning.
If somebody is drunk driving and crashes and kills themself, I don’t think we’d report alcohol toxicity as the primary cause of death.
It is literally drunk driving. Well, crashing while under the influence.
Not to be unnecessarily mean to the dead guy, but you have to be pretty stupid to do a large amount of a drug that is very well known to make you pretty much unconscious while in a body of water.
I see you have no concept of addiction.
Europeans do not want their countries to be flooded with migrants.
Far right parties love to say that even when there are no migrants flooding them.
Salvatore Ganacci in City of the Wolves, yeah, but he was actually pretty good and funny. Ronaldo was trash though.
Check out the OG Star Fox boxart on SNES, it’ll look familiar. Both US and Japanese versions.
Ministers and senators yeah, presidents no.
That’s the point, they have no incentive to abuse it - also it’s mostly an advisory position, saying “nope, this law you’re trying to pass is unconstitutional, this line can’t stay”. They don’t actually do anything themselves, and I’ve never heard of a case of someone trying to bribe them to reject something.
This has been the proper phrasing since the beginning of police and newspapers.
Language doesn’t come up from planned academic consensus, it comes from common use. If there were more people using the Spanish then French word negro because that’s the cultural environment these people came from and where they used it, and the accent gradually changed the word to something more unique, then that’s what the new word is. Wikipedia says that process took 200 years. They ended with that word and not another word because they were not using that other word before, simple as.
They expected to use Reunion for part 2, I think, but then the Crisis Core remake team stole that from under them without asking.
