He triggered so many red flags that openly expressed the liberal status quo of a dynamic that has normalized a continued subjugation of Palestinian rights and sovereignty. After we witnessed the trajectory of VP Biden being elevated to a position that has ultimately threatened Palestinian life, i have no interest in seeing America repeat this exercise with Shapiro.

I like the wording on this. It's what a stupid person imagines a smart person sounds like.

Strip away the verbiage and you see that what he's saying is that Shapiro shouldn't be VP because there's a possibility he might someday become President through election in his own right. Which isn't precluded just because he's not the VP pick this year, most VP picks never go on to become President. So what you're really left with is a complaint that he supports the "liberal status quo" (that has "normalized a continued") held by everyone else including Harris and the rest of the Democratic leadership. And somehow these events led to Israeli actions because they're nothing but puppets of U.S. Presidents or something, there was no inciting event that Israelis might really care about.

Oh, but hey, Walz is definitely going to be sitting there masterfully dropping little nuggets of wisdom that will "influence" Harris to overthrow all that leadership and all her other staffers because this is definitely a thing that happens not some weird fantasy where you've decided the President to be is a mindless empty suit easily manipulated by the nearest old white male who you imagine shares your views, knows all the best arguments you don't and totally won't be ignored. Also this has hints of suggesting that Biden was doing the same thing to Obama. Kind of sus if you ask me.

Sometimes I wonder if people over there have actually ever experienced other humans.

As a musician, this is genuinely insulting. You can choose to be anything and you choose to be both loud and wrong. Do you think musicians shouldn't be paid a normal rate? There's more than one person in this thread telling you that this is incredibly low in the industry, but you're inexperienced, uneducated, assumptions are the thing you're choosing to hang on to. You can get paid more for a single episode of television, hell a single scene where your song plays in the background. But obviously you're not asking questions in good faith, it's clear you don't actually care. If you're gonna use phrases like "factual reality" at least know the facts.

User Banned (1 Week): Concern trolling over multiple posts, account in junior phase

As a game developer you are the one being insulting here. How can you compare a single song on a radio track of 450 to a song/music in TV. The song on TV will always be heard by the audience because TV works in sequence. There is no player agency or choice. Unlike in a game like GTA. Where this song will be on one radio station with hundreds of other songs.

Of course you will get paid more if your song is the vocal point of a scene compared to the super background nature of a GTA radio song.

Don't try to bring your non-interactive sensibilities of tradition television to games.

What you are doing are insulting all of the hard working days developers and designers that bring the game to life.

The band who rejected the offer even said that all he cared for was the big and nothing else and yet you are sticking up for such a greedy musician who doesn't understand the nuances of video games.

I am disappointed in you princess_V

Black Ops II has two timelines and the later games are related to that. III and IIII (both hero shooters) are set in the future, Cold War and 6 (regular COD) are in the past. They're connected by some conspiracy that starts during the Cold War and goes into the far future or something, I don't think even Treyarch exactly knows but there are nuts online who really love that shit. The Wiki entries about the plot are like ten pages long.

The WWII relaunch is most likely over, Vanguard was a bomba. And it integrated poorly into Warzone.

Hopefully Microsoft does what Activision refused to and that's finally allow a year gap between the games now that they have Warzone. Cold War got rushed because Raven/Sledgehammer couldn't fill the gap year and then MWIII was a disaster because of basically the same team trying to fill the gap year again.

Blops is basically the only consistently good part of the franchise. People dismissed IIII because of no campaign but Treyarch has kept the innovations in that because they were game changers. Cold War and 6 are so much better because of the heal and movement. IIII also had some of the only good usage of the heroes because they let them be hilariously stupid.

Firebreak is the greatest hero ever in any hero shooter:
    

IIII originally had a campaign, it was a dynamic 2v2 thing about completing objectives. But test groups were too confused by it or something, so they dropped it for Battle Royale Blackout since they could stitch together all the maps and stuff already built for the game. That also provided a testing ground for Warzone. The reason they labeled the game IIII instead of IV was because that was supposed to represent the IIvII. IIII was probably my favorite COD since II, even despite WWII's hilarious incendiary shotgun, but they're so ashamed of it they didn't even put it back on Steam when they came back to it.

Kara said Infinite Warfare has a hilarious campaign and I meant to play that but I stalled out in my COD playthroughs in the middle of the first Black Ops.

I just find it hilarious that people play CoD campaigns these days. Why?

They are big budget, action packed, funny story wise, and short. I like all of the CoD campaigns, even the “bad” ones. I’d recommend Infinite Warfare if you have played in the last several years.

Nice find, Hap Shaughnessy, and whooooah, wtf at the part I've bolded:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/is-it-wrong-to-hang-out-and-still-be-friends-with-someone-that-is-already-married-or-deep-in-a-relationship.781316/

So I have this friend who is married and has a kid already, but we often hangout, go eat outside, do stuff outside. I often wonder if her husband is not approving of this, since we've met a couple of times and he's stonefaced whenever we cross each other's paths. I guess it doesn't that help way back then, my friend had a long-standing crush on me, which she revealed to me then promptly erased all history of it happening when I said I only saw her as a friend. And it's only a crush. I don't think she has even mentioned it to him. To this day, we're very good friends, and I don't plan on changing that, but is there some social contract where if someone's married already, that you ease up on friendship, as respect to their spouse?

For me personally, screw that. I've been friends with my friend for a very long time, and there is no harm as far as I can see as she's already married and not attracted to me as far as I can tell, and I'm not going to start developing feelings for her after all these years. My feelings for her are all friendly. Now that they have a kid I think guidance to their kid has been added to my list of responsibilities as a friend. I guess I should meet up more with the husband present and see if we can work things out so he's comfortable with me being around his wife? Basically, befriend him? See, whenever we plan outings, most of our friends bring their significant others, but my friend has never brought her husband, not even once. I guess we've met twice when she brought him to lunch, but overnight and long getaways, she doesn't bring him. Maybe he's just not the outgoing type.

What about you Era, do you think this is okay? I personally think it is okay. They're a happily married couple, we are a happy friendship, everyone wins. But what about you? Has it turned upside down for some of you?

Seriously?

You think you have a 'responsibility' to give 'guidance' to the child of your married female 'friend'??

No you don't, you weirdo. The father is a daily presence in the kids life and, outside of school teachers or close relatives, is the ONLY one who should be giving guidance, not so-called friends.

I think quite a few people here on TheBore are married and have kids. I'm also pretty sure that if any of their spouses male 'friends' tried to give 'guidance' to their child, they'd get a punch in the face and/or a kick in the nuts.

Give it a couple more months and there will be a crybaby 'My friend won't talk to me anymore and it's all her husbands fault ;_;' thread.

Had a girlfriend that was living with me that had one of those "friends" that wanted to hang out with her way too much. She assured me 100%, she was not into the guy or found him attractive. I finally kicked her out because she refused to get a job and just mooched off me. She moved her stuff out of my place right into his and lo and behold they were a couple right away. 

Had another girlfriend living with me and she had one of those friends. For about 6 months I noticed we weren't talking as much and she would make plans with her friends on my days off. She finally broke up with me and moved in with that guy. I found out she was just waiting until he got a new place for them to move in together and she had been cheating on me. That one pissed me off so much I went and confronted the both of them at their place. I was so mad she started crying and the dude got scared and went in the house and left her crying outside with me 

About a year later that girl contacted me to apologize. The guy had left her for another girl and she was stuck in a apartment she couldn't afford so she moved in with her parents. I told her I wasn't surprised that he was a weasel and said when I confronted her that day if he was any kind of man he would have threatened to kick my ass for making his girlfriend cry but instead he ran into the house. 

I'm sure you can have male female platonic relationships, but I haven't had a good experience with them.

I have a very good friend who has a birthday coming up and she has always been a very good friend to me. I have never given a lot of gifts out(I'm more of a giftee). I thought of a handbag but that would probably raise some questions. I don't want it to be lunch or dinner because I've been treating her and she's been treating me from time to time so I don't feel that would be special. Also no gift checks as that seems impersonal.

For married people where your other half has platonic friends, what gifts did they receive that made you think nope, there's nothing going on there?

A gift card is definitely a good option. If you get along well with her spouse, you could also ask them that way you aren't stepping on their toes.

OP
I don't remember talking to her husband at all, honestly.

Another Reee Weirdo. (or more likely creeping on the girl)

EDIT:
Yep, creeper

OP

I have a feeling he doesn't like me. We've been in a few gatherings and I don't even remember him making eye contact with me.

Seems pretty weird that you're very good friends with someone for years, then she goes and meets someone, gets married and has a kid with them and you've hardly even met the guy. 

Are you a fucking stalker? Does she know you exist?

I disagree. CCU affects the narrative around games and this isn't just something I'm making up, development teams know this and seek to account for it. A lot of internal discussion goes on around surfacing CCU and sometimes CCU is even hidden among internal teams because of the effect it has on staff morale. It's naive not to think it doesn't have an effect on the discourse around the game, which has a knock on effect on performance.

I agree with you that I found COD campaigns nothing special (although I actually genuinely liked Advance Warfare). But, believe it or not, there is a lot of people that actually liked them enough to remember the names of the characters.  

Seems there is a good portion of people that genuinely like this campaigns and go mad when CoD try to ditch them.
