Now we must ban knives, video games and siblings!

“With our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country.” - Winnie Mandela [necklacing is putting a gasoline filled tire around someone’s neck and lighting it on fire].

My mother was left to raise two kids at 24. She never resorted to kidnapping.

How are we supposed to feel about Winnie? She certainly did keep “the memory of her imprisoned husband Nelson Mandela alive during his years on Robben Island and helped give the struggle for justice in South Africa one its most recognizable faces.”

“Let’s not shit on the news anchors who are just doing their jobs.” - Hannah Arendt

I found that an incredibly boring end to an overly long arc. Was hoping they might upset the status quo somehow but nope. I mean sure the brought Freiza back but this is like 3rd time that happened so I somehow can’t care.

Where I live the wind is so bad, and frequent, most trees have a permanent, east facing, bend in them as they grow. When the wind does get going, it really doesn’t look far off from the Witcher 3, like wind storms can up root trees you know that right? lol

It’s worth mentioning that the famine from the Irish potato famine was man-made in the sense that it was not that there was not enough food being produced within Ireland to feed the Irish—massive shipments of food was being exported from Ireland to England by English landowners in Ireland, even as the Irish literally…

I think the problem for me is the obligatory nature of it, why does every game HAVE to feature a “diverse” cast no matter the context? It’s a game set in medieval czechoslovakia. would it have been impossible to run into a black person? Maybe not, would it have been very likely that you never would? Almost assuredly,…

I mean you can say fuck it to the reasoning, but it’s been pretty well established that there wouldn’t have been black people in this part of Bohemia at this time. I cannot comment on the make of the man behind this game, but his ‘excuse’ is rock solid.

I mean, Othello, the Moor of Venice was published in 1603, and assuming that Shakespeare was the first to acknowledge the presence of Black persons in Western European society is absolutely ludicrous on its face (given that Shakespeare was something of a plagiarist; we need look no further than Hamlet for that).

MOORES WERE NOT BLACK PEOPLE! Shakespeare had no idea what a Moore actually looked like. He never met one! He guessed. He was wrong. Any game that features black people in a historically accurate medieval town is hilariously idiotic.

It’s set in a small 16km section of the Czech country side in 1403. I’m frankly more inclined to side with their dive into the population and census of the time and their highly qualified female historian than your assessment.

The game takes place 200 years before this. And do you know that Venice and Bohemia are pretty far apart in that day and age?

You can’t be a bigot for stating facts.

Also, it definitely seems like you’re angry. Saying you’re not doesn’t magically make it so.

“1.) It may well not be her cleavage that makes her successful.”

Can we stop conflating Tina Fontaine and Colton Boushie? Tina was a vulnerable child who was targeted by some old pervert.  Colton was a grown-ass man who was drunk when he and his friends tried robbing a family and then got himself shot. Apples and oranges.

The article you’re linking doesn’t really explain or back up your points about the guy though.

that’s great and all, but how big is the map?

Whatever happened to “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me”?
