in gaming journalism

Wow, you don’t read much news I’m guessing. Any and all news publications love to use it as a ‘catch-all’ term for, “he showed them what for!”

It’s a bogus word describing action that the news can’t otherwise report, because calling it ‘verbal slaughter’ triggers people.

If modern journalism had any integrity left, they’d call Trump what he is: a wannabe Hitlerian dictator.

Any publication that tries to curb that, is likely in bed with the money piles the network was given by the accused.

There’s not a single goddamn person on the planet that doesn’t have some sort of bias, that’s journalism 101.

It was a beat-em-up hack ‘n’ slash that played like an early Devil May Cry game. It was really fun, and included everything that was Deadpool at the time (he was borderline schizo during the comics at this time, and the game included both of the “other voices” in his head as a pseudo-narrator kinda thing).

Honestly a really fun game, I pirated it when it came out and now that it doesn’t exist anywhere except the high seas, I regret not paying for it then. To be fair though, it had little replayability, just the, “once every few years” kind. Still a fun game though.

Social standards are not the benign excuse you think they are. If someone ever hits you, you hit back. If that’s how they think you learn, then make them learn that getting hit hurts, and show them why they shouldn’t be hitting.

Letting someone hit you just cause “it’s normal” is called Stockholm Syndrome, and is objectively worse than being the one that’s doing the hurting, because it teaches other people that hurting others is okay.

If you saw an adult, hitting and dragging away a child who’s fighting back with all their might at a grocery store, there’s 2 things that could be happening. A.) just a parent “disciplining” their kid, or B.) a literal kidnapping is taking place.

In your (clearly more informed) mind, it would always be scenario A, and you wouldn’t even think twice about the possibility of scenario B, “because that’s the social norm,” according to you.

I’ll say it one more time: IF YOU THROW HANDS, EXPECT TO CATCH HANDS, NO MATTER YOUR AGE, GENDER, OR FUCK ALL.

Who said anything about a nursing home? I thought we were talking about throwing punches? Cause as I said, as each party ages, they both learn who hits harder.

Any old person that acts like they can’t catch hands, is literally asking for some to be thrown.

If you’re 20yo still taking abuse from someone three times your age, you’re not fighting hard enough for your own rights.

I hope to any and every god that may exist, that kid gets close enough to Erdogan one day, to return the favor tenfold.

That’s a very black-and-white way of looking at it. As children grow older, so too do their elders. Eventually the power balance (so to speak) shifts, and both the child and the elder learn who can hit harder.

Or, hear me out, he grows up resentful of all who lord their undeserved power over him, like billions of other children already do?

I originally upvoted dark whatever instead of you. Coming back 2hr later I changed my votes because (metaphorically) as you said, it’s not black or white, it’s shades of gray.

In my youth I often thought of myself as an introvert, because, “I just don’t like people.” As I’ve grown I’ve come to realize that I’m perfectly sociable in the right crowd.

To that end, I’ve come to see myself as an introverted extrovert, it vice versa, because idk proper terms. But I’m much more talkative (for better or worse) around people I identify with, whereas if I were alone around a group of new people, I shut down and retreat to my safe corner.

People are very multifaceted individually and it’s such a strange oxymoron that “there is no true ideal” is an objective fact, no matter how much we wish it to be so.

Unfortunately, until people can (on whole) see both positives and negatives per individual person/situation, and not just the dogma attached to each piece, we may never overcome this roadblock…

They say, “don’t judge a book by its cover!” yet I’m compelled to tell myself, I’m enthralled over the Title, not the cover.

Not plastering over literally every single mm^2 would be a start, but what do I know, as a user/viewer, I’m supposed to just look and not criticize (according to the rest of the troglodytes).

Sounds like they should watermark better, not worse.

Lol imagine being so late to the discussion that it’s already over, and your thoughts are little more than hindsight, that your newborn child is an unforseen consequence

Edit; incumbent idiots don’t make the rest of us responsible for their mistakes. They fucking on they own, fucking simpasses.

Man, I decided to do just that, and it was almost exactly what I thought (minus the technical words): if a velociraptor can do a metric fuckle of damage with their two hook-toes, a T-Rex with 2 of those on each hand can fuck something up, presuming it’s close enough (which, as the T-Rex head/bite-force, and distance from the jaw suggests), would have been pretty frequently.

Even if each claw only did a little damage, that’s still a lot of blood loss throughout the conflict, and the T-Rex would be more likely to win.

I saw it the other day here (‘here’ being relative cause I don’t remember the instance it came from) so it’s probably just repost bots putting in work 🙄

As a non-deaf person, I came in here looking exactly for your comment. Reading the post, I was confused as to how deaf people even enjoy music. You told me exactly the things I wanted to understand in a very good, and even relatable way. Thank you!

Ignominious

adjective;

deserving or causing public disgrace or shame

“the party risked ignominious defeat”

Just an idea for part 6

I’ve been censored/shadowbanned in a couple .ml instances for calling out their overzealous comment-nuking mods. Not even political in nature, just seeing threads where 80-90% of the comments are ‘removed by moderator’ and commenting how suspicious it was.

Then they removed that comment, and after taking a screenshot of the new comment calling out that, I got shadowbanned and can’t even vote there anymore.

All good, she passed a few years ago. No longer mourning, just tugged my heartstrings a bit.
