Sorry, a guy is NOT entitled to money just because he wants to relive the crappy 8 bit days or to cosplay being a rockstar with very crappy 8-bit covers. And no I don't understand that decision for him to do that nonsense either.
Not directed at you but going back to a few people who replied to me I kind of laugh how "oh he only plays the games that he knows" when you have people like Sega Lord x and a few other Sega guys who have expanded from their preferred platform (in his case Genesis and Saturn).
Hell that dude's last video was doing a look at some company who's doing a 16-bit ROM repro for the Genesis that can be bought next year. Games are still being made for the old systems. Quality? Well that's what videos are for! It's off topic so I shall stop ther

And being the internet interpreted in the least charitable light and got chased off the internet or at least youtube and twitter She used a racial slur for Asians I can't find the topic right now but I remember people saying it wasn't a big deal here while some of the Asian American members ended up leaving because they felt completely upset and ignored. Not to mention the phrasing of squint really didn't help the optics either.
I'll use the word in context what she said, but behind spoilers
Spoiler: FROM LINDSEY'S OLD EXPLANATION VIDEO (click to show)(click to hide) she said something to the effect of 'chink' in the armor. Given the context of an Asian based movie plus the Avatar references this was not very well timed. I argue if she is just simply apologize for it it probably wouldn't have gone anywhere but by the time Twitter did what it did it was already main character syndrome.
I completely agree with her decision just eliminate Twitter at that point looking back it was probably for the best.
It's like I often hear people at work say "hope you enjoy that chief"when giving medication or anything like that but when handing anything to myself or a certain other Native American patient that we have? Yeah the context matters

*Snip* It was definitely taking advantage of but the thing is I think it's because the Right knows and exploits the fact that left leaning people have and do acknowledge things that they lean into that a lot more.
Hell you have people here are crucifying people without the allegations being completely put out or of course the general "I never liked them" and then they disappear people. That's a whole other thing that I'm not qualified to go into. Haters ready to hate
Edited for some racial context.
It's best to be humble when accused of racism. By going on a three day break before coming back to reap the harvest on THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO VERY DARED QUESTION

About 20.000 children have been taken from Ukraine to Russia without consent of their parents. And that's not even talking about all the people that have been killed by Russia.
Comparing atrocities isn't a fruitful argument, but yes, on a numbers level the Ukraine war is worse

Also re this Lear bloke, why have none of them mentioned that the big shows shows were adaptions of UK tv shows?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT THREAD IS A CONTINUATION OF YESTERDAY CONFEDERANCY VS NAZIS
PhoenixAKG wrote:No, no you see ",Confederates were better than Nazis and slavery was better than being genocided" (actual quote someone gave me on defending Jonah Hex and lack of Confederate supervillains)
SO THAT WAS YOUR DISCUSSION?
PhoenixAKG wrote:So I was in a 'discussion' and the topics of the Confederacy and the Holocaust came up.
Anyway at one point someone brought up how they felt like the Confederates are bad but a lot better than Nazis and went on to say this was because under Nazism what happens is death and while black people in the Confederacy face a hellish life of slavery and torture it isn't absolute in the end and reversible like death was.
My reaction as you can imagine was one of disbelief and when I replied with "dude wtf, you did not just make that comparision and that the person who said this doesn't understand the horrors of slavery'
someone else then accussed me of thinking that slavery was worse than the Holocaust and my comments clearly communicated that. When I brought up that none of what I said even implies that in the slightest I was told that "I didn't say that they were equal" as a response and instead of being so hostile to the person making the initial comments and accussing them of racism I should have just calmly informed them why what they said was insensitive and hurtful as "There are absolutely superficial reasons why somebody might assume slavery was lesser than the holocaust. In the same way, I think there are superficial reasons why somebody might assume the holocaust was lesser than slavery. They are incorrect and uninformed, but on the face of it, it is not wild that somebody might think one is worse than the other if they've never put much thought into it"
So anyway what do you make of this whole thing. I find it really moronic and full of anti-black sentiments.

It's amazing and sad how these people are so terrified of ideas, characters, or themes getting any sort of media portrayal that they don't approve of. Like, they really do believe the general public is just a movie/tv show away from going full "Heil Hitler." It's silly.
- They thought The Joker movie will cause an incel uprising, and movie theaters around the country will be bloodbaths.
- To this day, they still blame South Park for voter apathy and numerous other social ills.
- Any depiction of bare female skin will apparently turn men into sexist bigots at the drop of a hat
