House fires are more common than violent crimes but there’s still several million a year.

Are you terrified of fires because you keep a fire extinguisher in your house? It’s the same view for them, it’s simply being prepared.

CCW holders are among the least likely demographic to have a criminal record.

They weren’t relevant until they were quite ironically made relevant when people squarely opposed to Trump brought them out of obscurity in order to paint him as sympathetic to neo-nazis and it kind of back fired.

NRA a white supremcist organization

I am a crazed pro-2nd Libertarian who thinks Wayne LaPierre is a dick but regular people in the NRA are typically just fine.

Going from this article, I think the game will be great. I loved the other two Far Crys (except Primal, which I skipped) and this one looks pretty cool.

Have you ever actually met anyone that was in one of those militias? There’s a bunch of them but their communities differ wildly. Some of them are as terrible as you feared and some of them are just regular people who like guns and going out ‘training’ in the woods with their friends every now and again. Some of them…

Eh, I don’t think it’s specifically about most or all of the enemies being white. If this Far Cry game was set somewhere in Russia or Eastern Europe, nobody would care.

What they care about is the political imagery. They probably thought and I had some concerns as well, not being entirely confident in Ubisoft’s ability…

This is one of the huge problems, and the only way to fix it is for there to be way more women in the hobby. But women get turned off of getting involved in the community because too many of the guys, who probably aren’t used to dealing with women, go nuts when the opportunity finally presents itself and they create…

There’s a difference between historical breaks in reality for the sake of gameplay vs. breaks in reality for things that are purely aesthetic or story related. If BF1 had the option for players to run around in absurdly garish fur coats and feather boas, I imagine the same people would be just as bothered.

Unfortunately I doubt you’ll be replied to, if you’re not outright dismissed for being a ‘troll’.

It’s pretty much the same as democrats calling republicans repugs or progressives being called regressives. Internet political arguments rarely strive for mutual respect. Of course the other side is going to be insulted by the nicknames their opposition uses for them.

This argument doesn’t really make sense. You’re comparing apples and oranges. Those things you’re describing are acceptable breaks from reality for the sake of gameplay. People might find a shooter where they all die in one hit and constantly need to maintain their weapons not very fun, so it wasn’t made part of the…

Because it’s the same thing. It’s not the same thing in magnitude, I get it, a white person treated this way isn’t affected anywhere near the degree that a black person is, but it IS the same thing. But the logic used here is that black people have been and are currently treated shittily, so treating white people the…

Gita! You forgot Rime which is releasing on the 26th this month on pretty much everything but the Switch, which got pushed back. I’ve been looking forward to this one since it was shown off at a Playstation thing years ago.

Even Libertarians thought he was an idiot for voting for Sessions back when he did it and now he looks like an even bigger one for acting like Sessions’ behavior is anything approaching surprising given his record.

That other guy beat me by a minute.

I also wasn’t the biggest fan of Inquisition, but if you /hated/ it then I’m sorry but ME:A is pretty much Mass Effect: Inquisition. I feel the Inquisition part works better in Mass Effect than it did in Dragon Age, but it’s still pretty much that but even less polished.

I still enjoyed it, I thought it was a good…

I also started as Pally but eventually went WAR for 2.0 because back then, I felt Pallies had a kind of boring rotation. Fortunately they fixed a lot of that in HS so I’ve since gone back.

I actually took a break after 3.2 and I’m coming back this week! Excited to go through the storyline, I’ve got a lot of catch up…

That was a bunch of weird sounding words. Can I just get that as takeout from somewhere?
