Paying homage is one thing, respecting it is another, hence why they execute these tropes without understanding why they work and making it all fall flat in the end.

Yeah, this game sucked for me. The presentation, music, and animation were great, but the bad writing/script stood out far too much to appreciate the good aspects in the long run. The blatant Chrono Trigger tropes and archetypes compounded the lackluster writing, imo. It was pure “We use this technique out of appeal,…

The role of police to enforce the rule of the government whether it helps or hurts the public has been firmly established for almost 150 years at this point. In essence, the role of police is more akin to a US soldier in Baghdad than it is a local servant of the people.

Practically infinite is not infinite, which is what they want.

Because this IS what they want. Endless pursuit of wealth, power, and influence. They could never be content with just retiring and spending their days building furniture or restoring old cars or something like that.

I’m Indian and for most of the country, DBZ served as its introduction to anime. Sure some of us were able to watch stuff like You’re Under Arrest!, Ninku, Flame of Recca, etc. but anime or “Japanese Cartoons” as they were mostly called here, gained ubiquity only because of the monkey-man. “Rock The Dragon” is still…

Not kidding but this one hit me as badly as Iwata’s and Robin Williams’ passing. 

While he didn’t draw too many types of faces, his artwork shone in his complex machinery from robots to vehicles to futuristic gizmos, his underrated understanding of anatomy, and his phenomenal shading and coloring work. His non-human designs such as Majin Buu deserve a lot of props, as does his ability to craft…

Even though when you get older and see loved ones and those you were fans of pass, it’s still hard to take when you hear of it. I’ll be 62 in a couple of weeks, and it’s still hard.

I’d go so far as to submit that plutocrats keeping everyone else at odds with each other is how the ruling class has run things in almost every society since the beginning of time. Once you realize that, it’s hard to look at history (or current events) through any other lens.

I know you didn’t mean it this way, but given there’s a real chance Somerton may have taken his own life in the last day or two, “slayer” is not the best choice of words.

Critical Race Theory should be fucking taught in schools. Probably to0 sophisticated for High Schools outside of the more intellectually developed honor students.  

Stern really has matured over the years, and everyone seems to judge him still based on how he was in the 80s and 90s.  I mean i get first impressions and what not.  Also, good.  Liberals, progressives, anyone not part of the rightwing/white supremacy alliance that has formed needs to push back.  How is woke a dirty…

Wish they would just say “Sony paid us for timed exclusivity” instead of this nonsense. If they recognize the fact that accepting timed exclusivity deals is bad for PR, maybe they should just stop taking those deals..?

My favorite qoute about being “woke” came from Howard Stern of all people, and I’ll all for it:

Soon his dream will be achieved of not having any of those pesky creative types slurping up HIS well deserved money.

I just can’t believe we’re still in this ‘gamer-gate’ era of bullshit because of these sad pathetic boys with their chauvanistic, racist ideals that ANGERY because they aren’t 100% being catered to. And their usage of the term ‘woke’ is just as pathetic.

Like...it’s ironic that they’ve co-opted a black term in the…

I get super gamer gate vibes from this entire community and the level of moronic conspiracy is just bogglingly stupid. In a few comments against a YongYea video I saw people claiming that Sweet Baby developed over 90% of Suicide Squad. It’s so incredibly stupid that it make my head physically hurt

You know what? Even if it were pushing a woke agenda, I'd be fine with that. We have had enough machism, jingoism, chauvinism and racism in our games.
