I’d really like to see an open world bushido game (maybe a mix between Legend of Zelda and Dragon’s Dogma) with a political- and revenge-driven narrative and very subtle but important Shinto and Buddhist influence in the narrative/world design and no magic/special attacks.

It’s in the middle of an ocean. You try getting good upload bandwidth from a satellite uplink in those conditions.

Why is ex-First Lady an insult? It is true that she was First Lady. He might have chosen to label her a female senator or Secretary of State, but neither of those would be very novel without noting her gender either.

Definitely. In my mind, the only thing lost with the decision to keep him the same ethnicity as in the comics is the myriad narrative opportunity that other ethnicities would have offered. It doesn’t seem racist or unfortunate, but I definitely think some really interesting stories could have resulted from other…

Of course it’s easy to fling about words without really attaching any evidence to them, and the same thing has been said about Rush Hour. I’m not sure how much ANY one of these movies is really inherently (much less intended as) ‘culture appropriating’ or exploitative, but ultimately what really matters is the effect…

Agree, agree, lmao Devil May Cry— extra points there.

Agreed. Hispanic Iron Fist? Awesome. Samoan Iron Fist? Hell yeah. African Iron Fist? No problem. Indian Iron Fist? Why not?

A hispanic Iron Fist would be fun. Asian Iron Fist is about as stereotypical, cliched, and racist as the culture-appropriation argument.

It may not be absolutely equivocal, but you’d still be writing a version of this article if they’d made him Asian-American because THEN it would be furthering racial stereotypes about a specific minority.

If they had reproduced it exactly, it might be problematic. But considering it’s the same world at different time periods and there are a number of interesting differences (notably water levels), isn’t it more fun to think about the possibility that not only are the assets based on the same data, but they’re actually…

When I’m inconvenienced by a situation that on the surface seems unfair to me, I try to imagine an explanation for what’s going on that I would be perfectly copacetic being inconvenienced by.

You can do a really good job steaming stuff on high in a microwave— just put a little water in the container with the veggies and put a wet paper towel over the veggies.

Consider the possibility that he counts himself as a “people.”

Does she bake cookies?

So tired of everything Kanye. Someone tell me it’s going to stop soon. Or just lie to me so I can sleep peacefully.

Actually, mixing bleach and ammonia creates chloramine. Not nearly as bad for you as mustard gas, but not terribly good either. Bleach and vinegar makes chloramine and chlorine gas, the latter of which is extremely deadly.

I love the path your thought process went down, mostly because it mirrored my own.

I’m almost certain most of this is just a placebo response (one way or another it has to at least be related). I think I may be getting a slight ASMR response from these videos, but I think it’s only because I’ve been primed to it.

Adult games may also contain more extensive nudity than topless women in addition to more graphic depiction of sexual acts. AAAND also a lot of Japanese adult visual novels depict high schoolers, which brings its own unique complications (especially when releasing in several different countries).

In order to land a modern airplane, I’m pretty sure all you have to do is pull out the key fob and press and hold the center button—the airplane will return to its berth and close the door behind it.
