To be clear with this ripoff 30th beta reprint. These cards are NOT tournament legal. Basically official proxies(they have a different back and everything). They should be worth nothing. The black lotus from that set is just as useful as one you buy from a Chinese proxy dealer(for likely 15 bucks which would get you…

You say that, then Devs get death threats for having diverse characters. A small team making a LGBTQ+ positive VN had people from 4Chan make a Alt-right “parody” of it using their assets. Hell, Ron Gilbert stopped announcing anything about the new monkey island game because of the response he got because people didn’t…

How to say this delicately, Japan has a history of ethnic cleansing and genocide going back a very VERY long time. They are an island in an area which had a host of ethnic diversity. Even within the peninsula there were a variety of ethnic groups the Ainu, Ōbeikei Islanders and Ryukyuans (itself made up of four…

Considering people were mad about XIII being lead by a white woman, and dudes were mad they couldn’t fap to a realistic model of a women in Horizons, and dudes were mad there were dark skinned Hobbits, and all this shit? I’d say it’s the opposite of what you say.

Japan shares 98% of its perceived ethnicity partly because in 1945 the Empire passed a law that none of its ethnicities were real and partly because of a subsequent attempt to adapt white supremacist narratives to its imperial ambitions, even straight-up using the German names of white supremacist ideological concepts…

You’re being kind. They’re not ‘struggling’ with anything. It flat didn’t occur to them when they began development, and now that it’s been pointed out, they simply don’t care.

It’s not that japan is a homogenous country, its that they are also racist as shit on average. This is the country that commited race and nationality based war crimes in ww2 to rival or even surpass the nazis and refuses to aknowledge or apologise for them to this day, and celebrates war criminals as heroes. A country…

It’s always ridiculous when the excuse for the controversy is “we were trying to avoid controversy”.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s utterly shitty but also unsurprising that a citizen from one of the world’s most racially homogeneous nations might have no understanding or appreciation of racial diversity. It’s Japan, racism and insular attitudes are kinda baked-in: famously closed their borders til Commodore…

It can be challenging to assign distinctive ethnicities...inviting unwarranted speculation, and ultimately stoking flames of controversy

Maybe in theory, but I have never played a game that had “sufficient” levels of diversity and felt MORE satisfied than I would have otherwise.  I think that a lot of people give it more thought than they should.

DC: “Hey you wanna be Superman in a new trilogy and other movies? It would take the next 8 years of your life. Here’s the money we’re offering.”

“But then DC backed up two van loads of money and asked for all my time....”

Liam Hemsworth? Liam? More expensive than Cavill? That’s unlikely.

In terms of Hemsworth salaries, he’s probably 4th.

1. Chris
2. Chris’ daughter
3. Chris’ wife
4. Liam, the “other” Hemsworth
5. The other, other Hemsworth

Stans are the worst.

Americans are completely brainwashed about apartheid state Israel and the evil they do.   

You’re either being disingenuous or you’re trapped in a neoliberal feedback loop dictating your available responses.

Because that’s an artificial problem created by precisely the people he’s railing against? There would absolutely not be a housing crisis if not for greedy landlords snapping off everything they can get their hands on at any price they can get their hands on it, in a purposeful bid to drive up rental prices.

Anecdotally…

Because there are enough vacant residential properties in the US that every single homeless individual could be given 29 currently unoccupied residential properties to live in. If you take into account homeless family groups or friends who would live together, that number increases further.

Whelp, first game I pre-ordered in years. Been buried in Bat Family comics for the last 12 months. Too bad. I trust reviews, and the concerns sound legit. Either way, I own it! Gonna look for the good. Tim Drake Robin’s my dawg. Ugh. Is it gonna suck? It’s gonna kinda suck.
