The joke I like to make with my wife when it comes to things like this is that “they just want Metallica to make another ‘... And Justice For All.’” I.e., fans want something new, but they want the same thing again too. Creators (musicians, game developers, etc.) are damned if they change, damned if they make the same…

I always find comments like this funny. While the series has had turn based entries, they’re hardly the series staple. FF X was the first main line turn based entry since III. Everything in-between used ATB

“I suspect that he was trying to pull off the stunt where you throw your phone to a performer in video capture mod”

You clearly have never fucking MET a writer. As much as we might complain about aspects of the work, we love it.

This just demonstrates how little anyone actually knows about film and TV writing.

This. I can buy that AI will soon be able to crank out scripts for super formulaic TV (like sitcoms and police procedurals) that are presentable enough. But there’s always going to be a way to detect that these scripts were written by AI.

I’d imagine it’s the high risk of being detected and threat of being fired, shunned by your peers, and blackballed from the industry. It’s kinda like asking “what’s to stop them from just translating and recycling old Latvian TV scripts?” Like, sure, you could do that, and you might even get away with it for a while,…

“Threat to her life”? He burned her car and then left. There was no threat to anyone’s life. It’s a goddam car.

Do you really think someone out there who is thinking about burning someone’s car is going to read this and think, “Wow, I was going to hold myself back until I read Levi’s article!” Yeesh.

You should watch some pre war documentaries. Debating Nazis is basically all we did in the 30s and we all know how that turned out. 

Sadly, in America today, we no longer punch Nazis, we elect them as governors and judges. Literally - I am not trying to be cute here. Literal neo-Nazis sit in power in America, elected by citizens. This is not being prevented or stopped.

A crime of this level should be.

Yeah anyone who still wants to be a Nazi in 2023 is beyond redemption.

I haven’t clicked through your link, but your stated premise involving “unspeakable violence” is, at best, exagerrated nonsense. We’re talking about punching people who want to violently eliminate entire cultures. We’re not talking about rounding up nazis, stealing their land, burning their houses, and salting the…

Someone who really needs to be shot badly.

Punching a Nazi doesn’t redeem anything. It just makes the Nazi hurt. That’s the point. If you don’t make the Nazis hurt, then new people will think it doesn’t hurt to be a Nazi. Then there will be more Nazis.

Dude,... OUR military probably has as many Nazis and white supremacists in it as the Ukrainian military.

We tried debating the Nazis. It didn’t work.

Dude, the fucking founder of the Wagner Group is a fucking full-on overt Nazi! Check out his Nazi rank insignia tattoos and shit he has showed off, proudly, publically! Also, Wagner Group - as inspired by Richard Wagner, Hitler’s favorite composer.

Far more nazis in russia than in Ukraine.. and Russia is currently the one invading neighboring countries in a voluntary war of aggression, committing war crimes, bombing civilians and generally actually being all the things that we despise the wwII nazis for soing.
