**“Again I don’t fully agree. First I think Lincoln’s move to end slavery was less about morality and more about damaging the South’s ability to prosecute the war on the backs of slave labor. If Lincoln was so moral about it the Emancipation Proclamation would have applied to all states but it only applied to the…

Quote: “Why did...*insert point here*”

All of this circles back to the same point I already made. Slavery in a modern context is a black and white (no race pun intended) issue. It is objectively as evil as it can get. In the time of the civil war it was not.

Its fair to say Lincoln and the Union were, at least…

Wrong.

Even in the first article you just cited the author states “Yes, slavery was of course the central point of contention.....” and then he goes on to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to downplay.

And to this ideological point: slavery was demonstrably more important to the confederacy than state’s rights by the…

Yes it was. Period. Any argument suggesting otherwise is complete revisionist history and I’ve never heard a single credible historian suggest anything otherwise.

This. The Romans were pieces of shit also, but if you ask me why I and most of the western world reveres them and has statues of them I’ll cite their contributions to art, science, philosophy, military strategy, statecraft, etc.

We don’t revere them for the fact that they owned slaves and/or the many “servile…

TIL, fascinating! So out of curiosity, every sprite sheet from the NES era was effectively limited to 3 colors then? Matches up with how most pixel art from the era looked so that makes sense, didn’t know that. What was the maximum sprite sheet size the NES would accept? 

The Gif is twice the size of the largest NES cartridge made in terms of storage...so definately not. Cut the framerate down to something more choppy and you could do it probably...and it would be more fitting stylistically IMO

Ok, I just preordered on steam. I haven’t done that in a loooooong time, and I just did it for a sonic game.

This Sega. More of *THIS*. Kick Sonic Team’s ass to the curb and give more money to headcannon.

*THIS* is Sonic the goddamn hedgehog. Beautiful.

I’m trying to be open minded to an american reimagining of this show...but some of these choices are really just not good IMO. Not because they contradict the source...but because they dumb it down and simplify it.

Ryuk being the one who pressures and essentilaly corrupts Light into using the Death Note undermines the…

I know its been 20 years and all...but its kind of amazing to realize that the real time render of these characters for the current generation actually looks *better* than what the original pixar animation team probably spent months and months to render out a small section of footage.

I agree mostly, but I have a slightly less cynical view. Especially in today’s age there’s a *lot* that goes into being the face of a big budget blockbuster like this, both on set and off.

Casting someone who’s “safe” is as much about audience toleration as it is about someone who’s experienced working in the…

I dont agree. Whatever chance there was to detrmine GOAT marvel 3 champion has long come and gone for reasons stated in the article:

“With the release of Street Fighter V in 2016 and the formation of numerous high money leagues, players who once reigned supreme in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 have moved onto the greener…

False.

It is fair to say that people, especially fighting game players, are often far to quick to jump to blaming matchups and their character for their losses.

It is simply wrong however to argue that bad matchups and tiers do not exist even without infinites as a factor. Oftentimes some characters either have tools…

Said for years that the biggest problem with ACIV was that it felt like an awesome pirate game that they shoehorned into the Asasin’s creed series for the sake of having an established brand. I always hopped they’d do a spiritual successor that let go of the AC stuff and that’s exactly what they did!!!!

True purists then.

....respect.

I’m curious as to when these interviews were done....3rd strike had a pretty fantastic release for xbox live and fightcade is always a great option also.

Then again....if you’re a true purist and you refuse to go the online warrior route.....

After curved displays, motion enhancement, 4k, and 3 goddamn D......

The TV industry FINALLY gives me what I’ve been begging for for years!!!! 1080P to 4K is negligible depending on the size of your display and your viewing distance and every other fad I mentioned can die in a fire....but this...oh god yes! SO LONG…

Don’t beat yourself up. Honeybee was literally the uncontested number one flash player in the world for injustice one.
