you have to keep having the conversation because youre wrong. its about facism told from the viewpoint of a soldier ingrained in the system. Rico is an uncritical narrator.

You’re bulldozing over a ton of fascist principles or looking at them with rose-colored glasses.
Gating voting and holding office behind military service only ensures that only military personell actually command the whole society. 

If you’ve read the book and that is your takeaway, I hope you never hold any power over anyone else.

It’s extraordinary to see someone dismiss suffrage as just some frippery. What were women and people of colour making such a fuss about?!

Seems like all the facist red flags in the book went right past your head, mate.

Right, right, there is absolutely nothing fascist about restricting the right to vote or hold office to the people that have gone through the government brainwashing program, and the novel definitely doesn’t glorify fighting and the infantry as the heart of the moral philosophy. It isn’t like the protagonist’s…

nah. its mostly because the CW didnt want to pay for shows anymore since the unmerger. Superman and Lois were always on the chopping block. it was just a matter of time. theyre just using the excuse that the movie is coming out next year to make headlines for the upcoming last season.

Want the best part of this? It is the same writer, the story is made by the same person that worked on Morbius. They literally rewarded mediocrity

You realize the Morbius Re-release is one of the greatest cases of a large corporation getting punked in the history of PR.

What appears to be not allowed is for a character to become a better person if they had certain character flaws.

This could very well be Taro’s finest NieR game and I’m willing to admit as much, but I refuse to sink time into a gacha game. I’ll just head the series’ wiki to get my lore dumps and watch YT compilations for crucial cutscenes if any. 

Hell no I’m not going to play a gacha, and least of all when it’s already been announced that the servers are shutting down.

The problem with gacha games isn’t that they cost money. I’m glad to pay money for a good game.

fuck gacha. and why the hell are you promoting it on Kotaku, of all places.

Would be nice if they ported this to PC and consoles. Without the MTX.

Exactly. I don’t care that how ubiquitous our internet connection is, the inability to play an offline game without the internet is unacceptable.

The Xbox One was designed from the ground up to make publishers happy, not the consumer

And let’s not forget that the mandatory Kinect, coupled with a mandatory always-on internet, was a major privacy issue.

“It combined a console, streaming device, and Blu-Ray player into the original all-in-one media player. But like Marty McFly rocking out to “Johnny B Goode” in Back to the Future, people weren’t quite ready for that. Yet.”

I see we are to the point now where it’s time to try to rewrite the history of the Xbone and make excuses for why it, once again, was a failure. At this point Microsoft has given up completely on even trying to learn from and correct any past mistakes, they’re not even trying at all anymore to attract new customers…
