None of those constitute as invasions, which is what my original post said. Is China interested in amassing more land? Of course. Bhutan has its own government? Are they not allowed to make their own decisions? These are deals, China is not stealing the land. And places like Tibet are better off under Chinese rule compared to where it was before.

Not aimed at you directly but this whole site. I forget how libbed up these spaces are and it’s no wonder why Asian ppl don't want to stay here. It's so gross. Please do better and don't just trust western outlets which is a mouthpiece for the US.

I'm just saying what I know about Tibetan society before Chinese rule. Regardless of how it was before, Tibetans deserve self-sovereignty.

Looks like they gave those a do over. I remember the first guy was initially just banned for a month

Considering they've not been targeting Hamas specifically probably zero.
When you target an entire civilian population the terrorist elements grow not shrink.
This is all on Israel.

Gee Melody I wonder why that is, could it be that Hamas embeds themselves with civilians, makes normally civilian only buildings like hospitals into military sites, and takes civilians as hostages?

Nah, it couldn’t be that, Israel is just so bloodthirsty that they can’t stop murdering civilians whenever they see one. That’s why they send out pamphlets and roof knocking to clear out areas of civilians. 

Fucking retards on that site

I give Eminem's Houdini 3 🐈🐈🐈 Benji's out of 5.

The three score is only for the line that triggered Clicky. The song was all right and felt like classic Em but still wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be. He's also a white guy and white people should always be penalized.

No.

I will not carry an identity with my dead name.

I will not apply to postal vote with my dead name.

I will not go looking for the paperwork required for that postal ballot.

It's okay to sit high and mighty and say "just vote" yet for some of us it's just not feasible or even desirable.

it's not feasible to suck it up and vote with your dead name to get a future where trans kids feel safe? Absolutely selfish. Dr. Who would be ashamed of you.

FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH THAT. It's all so tiring, sigh. 

[Nintex]

I hate how they infantilize black developers and swear they the righteous ones. Sure there are some racist ass folks that might review it but to take a few posts that are problematic and then group that with any legit criticism of the game as a harassment campaign is ridiculous.

Real talk: here's all the ways they fucked up.

• Announced at The Game Awards, which is the most basic gaming bitch venue possible. Shoulda cut a timed exclusivity deal and get a full spotlight on a platform holders Nintendo Direct or equivalent, or done it the true indie route and build hype over time then drop a killer demo at the Steam Next Fest
  
• Tales Of Kenzera: TAU is a shit name. Sorry, it is. Its up there with Azurik: Rise Of Perathia. Nobody is remembering that when they're browsing a storefront. Or they assume its another of that JRPG series.
  
• Partnered with EA, everyones favorite indie publisher 
  
• Shouldn't be a metroidvania, which live and die on purely gameplay terms. If you want to make a full voice acted narrative driven title with full orchestrated soundtrack, make something like Life Is Strange, where people who just wanna get immersed can. Its also literally one of the most overcrowded and difficult to make money in genres around. Just absolute stupid choice, you're directly competing with stuff like Hollow Knight in the indie space and Prince of Persia in the midrange.
  

https://games-stats.com/steam/tags/?sort=revenue-median


look at the stats - 54% of metroidvanias make less than $5,000 lifetime in sales, the revenue median is less than $3.5k

What bro should've done to get more sales:

"I'm lowering the price, so more people can enjoy my game. Please give it try and let me know what you think 🙏"
"Thanks bro, I will try your game"   

Instead

"BY MY GAME YOU RACIST" 
"no"   

He doesn't seem to understand that when you publish with EA, your game gets neither the needed marketing push nor the sympathy from the community. 
The "uguu we small indie and need your support" spiel just doesn't work when you publish with EA. Same thing happened with Immortals of Aveum.

Also I've not seen any of this backlash, in fact I've not seen any reporting or ads for this game at all. I didn't even know it was already out.

It seems to have launched on the same day as Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, Sand Land and Stellar Blade. 
Stellar Blade of course was the big release that overshadowed it, Sand Land probably did better than expected as a 'tribute' to Akira Toriyama and good reviews.
Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes had some performance issues but was backed by a large Kickstarter campaign (and sadly the creator of Suikoden/Eiyuden passed away before it was released). Shortly after of course Dunkey published Animal Well so that soaked up all the attention. Nintendo gamers have now moved on to Paper Mario.

Abubakar Salim should be mad at EA for release timing and a lack of marketing effort not the gamers.

Basic human decency says I shouldn't have to vote. The government should just sit down, shut up and listen instead of demanding emotional labor from marginalized people.

We're just asking for things we need to survive. Why can't TERFs and centrists just leave us alone?

WTF! How hard is it to make Angela look like her PS2 model without butchering it.

[Potato]

Glad they finally ported SH2 to the GameCube.

[Uncle]

 

not a single fucking thing about that is sexist

"in this ostensible remake, I would like X thing from the game to look mostly the way it did but better"

they didn't say "oh she's so fat and unfuckable"

shouldn't women demand to be represented better? if they turned a guy into a derp faced buffoon, wouldn't there be understandable outrage too?

[Boredfrom]

Is not kind of problematic that the developers decided to make the sexual abuse victim fatter? Are they saying that being fat makes you less likely to be raped?  That pretty and thin women are asking for it?

[Boredfrom]

Wait a second, they also altered Maria’s outfit?  

Isn’t that the whole fucking point of the character? Being a hypersexualized version of James’s wife?

We have a 90 yr old birthday dinner today for wife's GMA.

That side of the family has some MAGAs, like said GMA and most of the kids (like wife's dad).

I was told not to start shit. I said I will try.

In the group text for confirmations, father in law asked today for final head count for those coming.

I replied back with "34 counts". I tried my best but failed.

I challenged a younger cousin to a race at the park. I thought I was warmed up. I used to love foot races and would smoke most of my fam. I still workout and such and thought, how bad it could be?

I got massive a leg cramp midway. I don't think it's a pull since the cramp went away after 15 minutes. Thing was painful AF.

I forgot how painful leg cramps can get! I don't think I've had one is decades honestly.

I guess I'm done with sprinting lol.

Digging up a corpse of a thread, but couldn't find any suitable one to aks.

So I'm looking for an anxiety med with the lowest possible side effects. Currently I take Xanax from 0,5 to 1,5mg a day, which makes the job done. The thing is the substance is quite addictive, although I never have abused it, and has an effect on your cognitive and hormonal balance with long term use. Which again I didn't notice myself. Should I change it to XR version or look at alternatives like Buspar etc? Tried Pregabaline before, but it didn't do much. My main concern is that whatever med I take shouldn't mess with prolactin and testosterone levels, having the less possible side effects. Any suggestions, tips?

Currently also on 150mg of Lamictal with intention to jump to 200 this month and 1mg of Rasagiline to boost my drive by increasing dopamine.

Ask a doctor, not a video game forum.

does anyone know of a basic bitch western style rpg where I can just make a party of adventurers out of a dozen different classes and go level up and there isn't this massive intrusive melodramatic story and also it's not anime bullshit

everyone wants to be so creative and innovative all the time and I just want to have fun with different party comps and level up

feel like I can only find these games looking backwards to stuff like wizardry 6

I want this but actually playable https://minmaxia.com/c2/

Dungeon Siege II? 



(Is a Dungeon Siege review after Dizzy)

This sounds like the most basic ass bitch Western RPG.

Edit: Also, stop the pussyfooting with the “anime bullshit” (   ) and play the old Etrian Odyssey games, they are pretty light in story anyway.

If they were actually living as trans they would know how easy it is to get their name changed by deed poll. There’s not a single reason why they need to have anything with their “dead” name.

So was Israel's agreement in Biden's ceasfire speech completely imaginary? Did this imaginary agreeement really include terms where Israel would be free to continue fire until it reached 'strategic goals' it set for itself while also having a means for Israel to withdraw from the ceasefire at any time?

I didnt watch the speech, he's been blowing hot air for far too long so I gave up, but there is no way the speech was THIS empty.... right? He didnt actually get on a camera to talk about a non-ceasfire ceasefire agreement that Israel had no part let alone interest in.... RIGHT?

It's nothing but a propaganda piece to appease the Brianna Wus of the world, who think that saying some empty words on tv equals real action

get the FUCK OUT

Game Freak's game being in limbo is absolutely insane. It's fucking Game Freak.

I don’t hate GameFreak, but outside Pokemon… what is their portafolio? Their most acclaimed titles is an old Genesis game and a DS rhythm game.  You guys mock them all the time as being in auto pilot with Pokémon’s games.
